NAPOLEON'S PROCLAMATION.

London, Feb. r. The Emperor Napoleon
issues the following proclamation to the cleo
Tors of France:
Wilhelnshohe, Feb Stl, 1871 Betrayed
by fortune and having kept since my captiv-
ily profound silence, which is mistortune's
mourning, as long as the armies confronted
each other, | abstained from any steps or
words capable of causing party dissensions;
but can no longer remain silent before my
country's disasters, without appearing insen-
>ible of her sut1crings. When / was made
my resolutions would appear to have been
dictated by personal considerations | left
the Regent to decide whether it was for the
interest of the nation to continue the struggle.
Notwithstanding the unparalleled reverses of
France, she was unsubdued; her strong holds
unreduced; few departments invaded and
Paris in state of defence. The extent Of her
misfortunes might possibly have been limited,
but while attention was directed to her enc
mics IN instruction arose at Paris, the seats
Of representative were violated and the safe
~ the Empress threatened and the Empire,
which had been three times acclaimed by the
people, ovcrthrown and abandoned. Still
ING my presentment, exclaimed what mat
,crs my dynasty if the country is saved? In
stead of protesting against the violation ofmy
i
and admired the patriotic devotions of the
children of France Now when the struggle
is suspended and all reasonable chance OF
victory has disappeared, is time to call to &C.
count the usurpers for the bloodshed, ruin and
squandered resources. 1t is impossible to
abandon the destinies of France to an unall-
thorized governmental which was left no al-
thority emanating from universal suffrage.
Order, confidence and solid peace are only re-
covcrabe when the people are consulted re-
speeding the government most capable of re-
pairing the disasters of the country. 1t is
essential that France should be united in her
wishes For myself, bruised by injustice and
bitter deceptions, do not know Or claim my
repeatedly confirmed rights. There is nc
room for personal ambition, but till the peo-
pie are regularly assembled and express theil
will, it is my duty to say that all acts are il
legitimate. There is only one government
in which resides national sovercignty able
10 heal the wounds; to bring hope to the
fresde, to reopen the profaned churches
and to restore industry, concord and peace

The kennebec journal gets worse am

The kennebec journal gets worse and
worse il. its defamation Of Andrew jackson.
In its issue Of Monday it says
''In his last sickness" says Parton, she declared
that, in rejecting upon his administration, he chief
ly regretted that he had not had John c. Calhoun
executed for treason. MY country said the Gen
eral, would have sustained me in the act, and his
fate would have been warning to traitors in all
times to Gomez" This was the spirit of Jackson,
call it what you will. Had he been President in
the rebellion we have no doubth he would have hung
jeff Davis as high as Hannah, and crushed out his
followers under an iron heel. Let the journal
make out a cease to the contrary if it can.
1t makes no difference who says it, the as
scrtion is an absurdity that ''he chiefly re-
GREETED that he had not had John G. Calhoun
executed for treason There was no pos
slble authority for the execution Of Calhoun
for treason, except through the regular oper-
alton Of the laws. The crime Of treason is
defined in the Constitution, and the mode of
trial for the offence prescribed 1t says
The trial Of all crimes, except in cases of inl-
parchment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall
be held in the State where the said crimes shall
have been committed.
If Calhoun was guilty OF treason anywhere,
it was in South Carolina. and there his trial
would have taken place To have seized and
hung him in Washington, by order of the
President, would have been murder in its
worst form. 1t was reserved for another and
much later administration to seize and hang
innocent men and women in the city of Wash
ington.
There is another version of this matter in
another part Of the same volume and more
rational one On page go occurs the follow
ing
Changing the subject, Or. Edgar asked him what
he would have done with Calhoun and the other
nufers, if they had kept on
Hung them, sir, as high rs Ilaman," was the in
Simultaneous reply ''They should have terror to
traitors to all time, and postcrity would have pro-
nounced it the best act Of my life
IF they had kept on is an important
qualification. They didn't keep on. They
stopped because Jackson caused their ground
of complaint to be removed. Parton says
on page 40
We discover, therefore, that while the President
was resolved to crush notification by force If it op-
posed by force the collection Of the revenue, he was
also disposed TO concede to notification all that its
more moderate advocates demanded.
If, after this conciliatory action, the nulliti-
ers had proceeded, they would have deserv-
ed hanging, after hial and conriction. Jack
son was resolved on war only as i last resort
With the abolitionists OF 1861, it was the first

the peace Of the country, the other plunged

name. went about teaching that in God are two ma
tures masculine and u feminine. which he and
TINS woman represented. With this ne wrought
he promulgated. His example example v was speedily
Initiated and hence we are not surprised
IN the lapse OF years to find even IN the Church these
lying wonders. Again, Paul foretold that there
hnd Bishop over a small Church who denied the
authority OF the apostle and refused 10 receive the
missionaries who had been recommended 10 MIN.
Thls was the beginning, and II Is no wonder that
history shows us rvalries in the Church, since two
evils resulted from these rivalrles-tne union OF
Church and State under Constantine ana the
division OF the Church into the eastern and
Christianity is not responsible Tor the great
apostacy Christianity, like any other good, may
be abused-as life or civil government But shall
lie or a government be rejected on that accountp
DIR. Newman then reviewed the manner of the re-
covery of Christianity from It's declension. AS the
apOstacy had small beginning, 80 the recovery
may may be traced back to individual exertlons. IN
1870 Wickline's voice was heard calling the talthful
to Christ md reDukng the SINFUL so bitter was the
hatred awaKened against HIM that his bones were
burned and the ashes thrown into the Avon; but as
to The sea. so widely were scattered these
seeds OF the reformation. Next arose John Huss, or
Bohemia, spreading the good work In Germany
One hundred years later, when under Leo X. the
Church treasury was exhausted, the public sale or
lndulgenCes began This aroused the attention OF q
monk IN a retired cloister who bravely denounced
the evil declaring In his thesis that the lndulgences
were not worth the paper they were written on.
Martin Luthers thesis was the tocsin for war, the
keynote OF the reformation which spread through
out the Christian world. DR.. Newman closed by
saying that such an apostacy can never again take
place. We are now not only equal IN standing to
the apostatc Church but are actually in advance In
certain religious truths. There Will be decensions
In this or thay part OF the Church but these must
great revival shall advance TIL It's waves awake an
