A certain weekly issued in our City, claiming
to be religious in character, has recently seen
fit TO aggrayate its usually venomous hostility
to the War for the Union into the most intem-
perate championship of the Rebel cause, eulo-
gzing the traitorous cabal claiming to be the
Confederate Government of Virginia as that
"grand old Commonwealth" and in every way
evincing the intensest sympathy with the
slayeholding traitors. Gen. Rosecrans-cOm-
manding at 81. Louis, and being a Jealous de-
votee of the church which this traitorous journal

WASHINGTON Friday, April g. 1864.
INTERVIEW BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND
GEORGE THOMPSON.
George Thompson had an interview with
President Lincoln yesterday. which was satisfactory to
both parties In the course OF conversation the Presi
dent said in reference to the Emancipation Procaina'
ton that the idea Of the Constitution was
the preservation of the Republic and that he had
for moment doubted the right and the power Of the
Executive to issue such proclamation. whenever l.
was manifest that like patients diseased limb "life
could be saved only by amputation.
Public sentiment had advanced slowly but surely,
and he had moved just fast 1t seemed to him he
could move and be sustained. He could not have felt
justified in the emancipation issue until all other means
of restoring or preserving the Republic had failed and
he had no consciousness Of having transcribed his
powers Il do not see" said be, how any man
standing in my shoes could have done otherwise than
have done"
At the close of the interview he invited the party into
the State Dining Room to see the painting commemo'
rating the first reading Of the Proclamation to the
Cabinet, now executing by Mr. Carpenter of New'Yor
