But our objection goes deeper than this. We
believe President Lincoln has no more right e.
galy OF constitutionally, to modify or revoke his
Proclamation of Freedom, than we have. Tie
decree Of emancipation has gone forth, and Is in
its very nat.re irreyersible The Proclamation
was unconditional, and whatever rights It gave
vested at once. The President has precisely the
same right to say that every white person ii YER
mont shall be hereafter, enslaved as to recall one
little Of bis Proclamation of Liberty. Aud the
people will look with jealousy upon any official
declaration, which can be understood, even by
inference to convey the idea that the stability or
value Of the Emancipation Proclamation rests in
the power Of any man, even when that man
pledges himself to maiatain it. It's validity is
entirely above the caprice Of any person, or any
president, or it is not worth the paper on which
It is written.
We have thus, without reserve, AMI as We deem
the duty Of the press is, stated our opinion OF the
Messages and our readers having the text, will not
be likely TO be misled by the commentary. We
believe indiscrimnate praise Of any public man
or any public document, is mscheSous, while fair
and temperate criticism can do no hurt, il it do no
good The Message seems to US incomplete
but We shall have no quarrel with those who think
it perfect, granting them the privilege, which we
assert for ourselves, Of expressing honest conyc-
t;or.

Chief Justice Chase.

The President has done but one act, since he
came into office, so generally satisfactory, as his
appointment Of SALMON =. CHASE, Of Ohio,
Chief Justice OF the Supreme Court, to take the
place made vacant BY the death Of the late Roger
b. fancy.
We do not know but there may be- in the lin
tied and poorest sense Of the word, better lawyers
in the country than Mr.. CHASE, men more con
versant with the multitude Of decided cases, and
more yesed in the practice OF the curts, but there
is not we believe, in tho whole land, an intellect
Of greater strength Of broader grasp, OF clearer
vision and Of more perfect logical power than his
nor one better acquainted with the great principles
Of jurisprudence, and Of their application to the
Infinite diversity Of human aairs. Aud he is more
than lawyer, be is a statesman, and, what is bet
ter STILL just man and we may be sure that he,
whose whole life at the bar and as statesman,
has been animated and illustrated by his efforts
to give Freedom its rights in our government will,
as he kes his place as Chef in the highest Judi
cial tribunal in the land, take for his motto the
words written by tho great English lawyer, Sci
den, on every book in his library, Before all
things, Liberty"
And no selection which could have been made,
would have more significantly marked the progress
of the nation from the Wrong to the Right, from
Slavery to Freedom than this fancy, who said
that black man had no rights which white
man was bound to respect" has left the bench,
and his place is filed by the great statesman, who
has been for years the stout and unfaitering and
uncompromising advocate OF the do.trine, that
every man has rights which every other man is
bound to respect The man who endeayored for
years TO harness the Constitution to the car Of
Slavery, is succeeded by him who has everywhere
and atla times endeavored, with all his great abi
ties, to prevent result so fatal to liberty. The
genius Of Freedom, which was the first inspiration
Of the Constitution and the true spirit Of that
organic law, but which for SO many years has been
chained to Slavery, and almost smothered in its
foul embrace, has boel delivered, By the proyi-
dtnce Of the war, from that body of death, and
it was IN harmony with the eternal fitness Of
things, that the high priest who had made the
temple of justice house Of merch andse for the
sale OF human beings, should go out with the old
order of things, aud tn Il hi, place should be taken
by him whose heart aad intellsc. and soul were
with the new order, and who would lead back
Liberty to her rightfal place, as the presiding
genius Of our institutions, the end for which the
Constitution "" framed and the government
organized.
The nomination OF Mr.. Chase was sent to the
Senate last Tuesday and without the formaily Of
reference, confirmed, and he las already entered
upon the performance OF the duties Of his office.

NEWS OF The WEEK.
THE w AR

The news from the armies of the Union dur
ing the week has been Unexpectedly msagre,
and as far as appears, the situation is n OF ma
terially changed. Sherman is nearer the cJas.,
and may indeed, by this time have reached 1t,
in the vicinity OF Savannah whittier the rebels
thuk he WAS moving at las. accounts. They
admit that they have accomplished but little IN
hindering his progress, except to limit him
somewhat in his foraging expeditions. General
Fosters forces, which had advanced from Port
Royal TO meet aud cooperate with Sherman
after having pretty severe fight with rebel,
fore were at Grahamsvile, on the Charles on
and Savannah railroad, when last heard from
Affairs about Nashville have changed but
little, and there has been no lighting Of conse-
quence since the battle OF Franklin. Our loss
IN that battle is now reported heavier than at
first and will probably reach 1000. The Union
forces in that ycinity are concentrated in and
around Nashville The Louisville Journal an
ticipates that Hood will attempt to march his
army into Kentucky.
In East Tennessee the robels have fallen back
toward Virginia, and Cumberland is held by
our forces, protecting Kentucky from any nva-
sion from that quarter.
The situation around Richmond remains I'M
changed. The 9th corps has been detached for
Shsrldan's army, and has gone to Fortress Mon
roe, but whether to Join Grant, or to 90 farther
south is not stated.
About 5000 exchanged prisoners have reached
Annapolis, Md, 10 another column we give the
names Of those from this State.

EXECUTIVE PowER.-Ihe President, in his
message, says the executive power itself would
be greatly diminished by the cessation Of actual
war This is either an inaccurate use Of language,
or il is On erroneous statement. The President
il given, by the constitution, certain powers. He
has no powers except those thus granted. Those
powers are vested in him as well in war, as in
peace, and he cannot rightfully exercise any
powers except those thus granted. The OCCASION
for the exercise Of those powers, does net give
any man power, any more than the occasion for a
giant to use his strength, gives him the strength
The President has the power to pardon certain
criminals, and that power remains the same wheth-
er be uses it or not. And yet there is danger in
such times as these that the safeguards OF the
constitution will be disregarded and it is three
fore wise as our Safe constitution epjoins to re-
cur freqdentl, to fundamental principles, and
adhere to accuracy Of expression, and strCiness of
construction. And it would do no hurt for the
President TO consider, that hi. executive powers
are the same as, aud no more and no less than,
those belonging to any Of his predecessors.

The Navy Denarrmnnt.

Mr. Wse8 presents report Of great length,
a considerable portion Of which is occupied by
review OF biz administration OF the Navy Depart
msnt duf,.5 the last four years. The frs sub
Ject OF rtcent nefes. touched upon is the blockade
OF Wllminglon--the point to which the eyes Of
this nation have long turned in the hope Of seeing
It oH1ctualIy closed against contraLand trade.
Mr.. Welles declares that it is not possible ~
enforce a complete blockade, aud that the capture
ofthe piece is not to be attempted except by a
combined and and raya force The two main
entrances are 'ortg niles apart, ard are subdi
yded into other channels, through which vessels
may gain access to the port The formation q
the coast and the gradual shoaling If the water
offer facilities to to the boekude.funuets TO pass
in or out close under the land, aad protected by
batteries Mr. Wtes remarks further that the
vessels which accomplish this passage are E1gdsh
butt and OF great speed, aud not easily to be
caught. 80 that, although these different entran-
ces to the harb0r Of Wilmington are watched by
not less than iiily Of our vessels The oppor.uni-
ties Of the coss. aad the superior speed Of The
con'rAblnd vessels, enable them TO 20 IN and out
with remarkable frequency, They are occa'ou-
ally captured, but the profits Of those which are
not caught abundlntly rtcompense thu losses of
those which are Mr.. Welles. however, has
always been ready to c5-opsrl.e with the army in
the capture Of This Troublesome por,, but no
troops have been at hard
Ia regard to Charleston, the Secretary remarks
that an effective blockade has been maintained
by keeping fleet of Morris Island, inside the
bar, and that this port has been, with few excep-
lions, sealed against the runners of blockade.
The cessation ofall active denominations for the
possession of Charleston is accounted FOR BY the
statement that Admiral Dahlgren, having medi-
tated an attempt to pass Fort Sumter, called
council Of war concerning that project, and that
the council Of war decided pelnst The feasibility
Of the effort.
The operations Of the North Atsntc Squadron
are detailed m,a parlicuar.ly. We dismiss
them with a reference to The one exploit which
converted the defensive tactics OF that squadron
into active boN1tiss by the heroic assault Of Lieut.
W. b. Cushing upon the Reb4! lam Albermarl e
known ALREADY TO IA. American people as one Of
tho signal aclons Of this war, and resulting 10 the
re-c4pture Of Plymouth and the secure possession
Of the North Carolina Sounds.
