lis Constitutionality not to be De-
termined by the People.
IL must be Regarded as Valid.
Emancipation an Accomplished Fact.
lie Advises the People to Take the
Amnesty Oath.
From the New Orleans Times, Sd inst.l

&
JACKSON, July 1.-Gov. sharkey of Mis-
sissippi, issued proclamation to-day.
After reciting the Presidents proclams-
ton, he says, probably there are some per-
sons who have some conscientious ncru-
pies about taking the amnesty oath, be-
cause they believe the emancipation pro-
clamation unconstitutional.
Such objections were not to be raised by
such as denied that they were subject to
the Constitution of the United States when
the proclamation was issued.
He says " neither it be constitutional or
not, is question which the people have
no right to determine; that is to be deter
mined by the Supreme Court.
The Emancipation proclamation must
be regarded as valid until the Supreme
Court shall decide otherwise.
When it does SO decide, parties will be
absolved from the obligation of the oath.
Some writers of high authority hold
that Legitimate power in war towards an
enemy Is co-extensive with necessity.
Even desolating the country and the
burning of towns are held UNSUITABLE acts
in certain cases.
Whether these principles be broad
enough to cover the taking of slaves, the
Governor says it is not for him to deter
mine.
The people of the Southern States were
in rebellion. The President of the United
States had the right to prescribe terms OF
amnesty, and has done so; and 1t is to be
hoped the people will cheerfully take the
oath with the intention to keep it in good
faith, and not hesitate or doubt, since sla-
very has ceased to be practical question
1t was the ostensible cause of the war
and was staked on the issue of the war
and that issue decided against the South
1t is the part of wisdom and honor to sub
nit without murmur.
The negroes are now free-free by the
fortunes Of war; free by the proclamation
free by common consent, free practically as
we'll al theoretically; and it is too late to
raise questions AZ to the means by which
they became SO. He wishes the peoT lie to
cordially unite in efforts to organize o
State Government, and prepare themselye s
to live in prosperity and happiness in the
changed condition of their domestic rela-
ton.
The people Of the South has just passed
through terrible and disastrous revolu-
ton in which they signally failed to ac-
complish their purpose, and it may prove
the greatest blessing to the cause of civil
liberty throughout the world; and as good
governments are often .hings of growth,
improved by revolutions, he hoped that
sad and disastrous as this has been, that
the lessons it has taught will not be desti-
tute of value.

Military Government.

We are not among those who believe,
that, next to the rule of JEFF. Davis, a
military government for the disorganlzed
states Of the South, would DO the worst
possible calamity. We admit that mil.
itary government, maintained without an
imperative necessity, would be a calamity
wherever set up; but we have yet to
learn that the South has arrived at that
state of political beatitude which will en-
able her to 60 peaceably on without any
suggestions from the bayonet.
And when we remember that her PEG.
pie, in view of the current attempts at
re construction, have entered, with ex-
traordlnary zeal, upon the discussion of
those abstract questions that led her to
separate from the Union; and when We
remember, also, that to their old political
discomfort are added the bitterness of
military defeat, and the pinchings of &c,
tual want. We fear that, for the present,
mere civil rule will be found wholly in
fliclent--insut1icient, we INC an, for the
purposes contemplated by truly loyal and
earnest men Of all sections of the Union.
The States may come back-they are on
ly too ready to do that; but they will
come back with the power of the old
slave oligarchy uuimpaired; with the
poor whites uninstructed in their rights
and duties, content with their ignoranc &c
and unaware of their debasemen:; with a
servile population to whom has been
granted freedom without any of its priv.
leges, and who are really subjects Of the

to the Union than the false education
that makes Statss-rights traitors. Shall
we trust the future of our country to tho
instinct that inevitably leads to the right,
or to the educated sophistry that incul.
Gates what is false and ruinous?
We are BY no means ready for recon-
ssruc,ion under the domination of de-
fea.ed but unconvicted traitors. We
have had terrible war; let US not cast
away its fruits. Let US have military
government in the Southern States until
the sentiment of true loyalty begins to be
felt; or, if We must have civil govern
meats reconstructed, let those who have
every cause to love the Union not be put
aside, while its interests are confded to
the hands Of those who have been its open
encmies.-Cor. Phil Press.

old slavery without any of its misigations.
They will come back in the spirit in which
they went ous-ignorant, arrogant and
aristocratic. containing, each within it
self, the elements of discord and strife
thss cannot fail to, sooner or later, break
out into agitation-it may be war.
The Faneuil Hall address, the greater
part of which We print to day, sets forth
very clearly both the right and duty Of
holding these States in the grasp of mill
tary authority, untilthe animosities which
the war has engendered cool off or die
out; until order, though it may be en-
forced, is restored; until the people have
accepted the changed condition Of affairs,
an d gone back to the pursuits of indus
try aud peace; until the inanumitted
blacks have a chance to settle themselves
in position where they will be useful to
themselves and source Of strength to
the Republic; until the poor whites see
where their interest and obligations lie,
in q word, until the sceptre of the ed
slave barons is rus,ed by disease, and the
power of these political communities pass
es from the hands of caste to the whole
people, who alone can Weld it,
We hold that for one year at least, pos
sibly two or even three years, military
government is the best government that
the South can have; that under it there
would be more order, more industry, more
security Of life and property, a quicker
administration of justice, and . more
general prosperity than can possibly be
found in civil government fer which the
people are not prepared. We wan.to see
il established, with such civil aids as it
may invoke; for the protection of all
classes; for the purpose Of making the
blacks work aud the whites pay, and more
than all else, for the rapid promotion of
that change which must come upon the
South before her new career Of prosperi-
ty can commence. We know the dan
gers that it threatens; bat we have COM
pared them with the advantages Of the
results, and have measured both dangers
and advantages with those which will
arise under any other pi. n, and our be
lief is firm that to military government
the country will almost uDanim ously come
OF last, es the only escape from the errors
already committed and the caamities that
they threaten. 1t may be as lcnient as
the case will admit; it may not interfere
with any citizen in his lawful pursuits;
but it must be strong enough to rcpross
evil doors and effectively overawe the
turbulent; but to have i. is a necessity
that no patent plan of reorganization can
long postpone Chicago Tribune. |
