State of Vermont.
A PROCLAMATION.

WEBREAs, information has been received that
certain persons acting without authority from
this state, or the United States have been and
are now enlistng and endeavoring to enlist per.
sons 10 this State for military service without
this State, contrary to the following provisions
OF section 20 Oi chapter | 10 of the General Stat.
utes OF Vermont, viz
"li any person without authority from this
State or the United States shall hereafter enlist
recruit, or employ any person in this State for
military service without this State, he shall be
guilty OF an oGense against the laws OF this
State, and shall be punished by a fine not less
than fifty dollars, nor more than one hundred
dollars, or by imp isonment in the county Jail
not less than thirty days nor more than one
year"
And, whereas, the present exigency demands
that this State should have the benefit of all It's
volunteers, and that the above law should b.
rigidly enforced, not only for the credit of the
State, but for the protection of ts citizens
against deception and fraud;
Now, therefore, | JoHN GREGORY SMITH, Gov.
ernor of the State Of Vermont, do hereby com.
mand all persons offending against the provls
Ions Of said law, to desist thereIfom, under the
penalties therein provided,
| hereby enjon upon the proper authorities
Of the several towns and counties in this State
to use every effort to cause all offenders against
said law to be promptly arrested and punished
and request and urge the citizens OF this State
to aid the authorities in their endeayors to en-
force this law
10 witness whereof, have hereunto signed my
name. and caused the seal of the State o.
Vermont to be hereunto affixed, in Execu liv,
Chamber, st. Albans, this twenty fifth day o.
July, in the year Of our Lord one thonsauC

this contingency, it seems TO US that President
Lincoln nigh, have better frustrated their designs
by giving them NJ occasion for king offence
with his manner of treating them. The desire OF
the Nation is strong for peace, that the people
would have been better satisfied, il some method
could have been devised for giving the rebels all
the opportunity they pretended to desire for
full AID tree conference respecting the terms
upon which peace can be inauguarated. And
in this connection, it may be said that Pres
deut Lincoln has no right to make an endorse
ment of bis Emancipation Proclamation or any
other oct Of himself, as President,-a prerequisite
to peace. The only conditions and terms which
ought to be imposed upon rebels negotiating for
a return to the Union are the abandonment Of
their raitorous and rebelIioua attitude Of hostility
to the Government of the United States, and =
bona fde submission TO the constitution aud laws
of the aDd. If the Emancipation Proclamation
is a law of the land then rebels must submit to
that also if it be not law Of the land, then il
is wrong tn ask them to submit to 1t.
Let the people, however now that this confer
ence is at an end, not be blinded by any Demo
cratic dust kicked up about it, lis undoubtedly
the trump card Of the Democratic party Tor the
presidential game, and they will be expected t(
make much OF III but let il be understood that il
does not in the least degree change the issues fol-
which the nation is contending, both on the battle
field and at the ballot box That issue is sing e
one. Shall the Government succeed, and the
Uuon be preserved through the triumph of The
old Flag or shall it fail, and the Union be TORI
asunder by triumphant rebellion Those wh'
are for the Government can never safely, uude
any pretence, vote the Democratic ticket Thos
who are for the rebellion under any cover o.
pretence, will, every man Of them, vote the Dem
ocrac ticket. Let the loyal voters Of the coun
Try look well 10 the company they keep.
