We take from an exchange the follow
ing excellent extract;


@This war, above all other wars of
which history makes mention, is q war
waged on our part in the interset Of poor
men. The Rebellion was plotted, begun,
and prosecuted in the interest of the
owners of slaves. Whether the man who
labors with his hands should be free
man or slave, should own himself or be
owned by another, is the ultimate ques-
iion which this nation is now deciding.
The Rebels maintain that that is the best
condition of society where the land Is
divided into great plantations and their
owners also own the laborers who till
them, and the artisans who make their
Implements, and this condition of society
the Rebels are striving TO fortify and ex-
tend. The free and loyal people Of the
land maintained that the labOrcrs and
the artisans should be as free as the own
ers of the soil Thus, of all the people
in the country, the laborers and the arti-
sans are the most interested in this ques-

Brandow threw himself first upon the
ground, giving up all hope, the horse
continuing to bite him for some time

Hence tho slaves had to be declared
free. No matter whether the Presi.
dent lad any authority to SO declare, or
whether he has the power to make
good his declaration tho only step to
victory was emancipation.


All that now remains for Mr. Lincoln
to do is to declare the rebels whipped,
the Union restored, and to call the
troops home and declare peace restored.
Surely there would be more sense in
this than in the act Of emancipation to
restore the Union. Or, if these sug-
gestions fail to suit, let the President
declare Southern soil unproductive-
let HIM dry up Southern streams by
proclamation, or perpetrate such other
"bulls against the comet" as may seem
good in his eyes. .-.. ii r


But seriously, this proclamation is
the last nail in the coffin of tho Union.
It calls forth renewed energy on the
part Of the rebels. It widens the
breach, extends the gulf between the
North and the South, and renders res
toration impossible. Write it down in
your note books proclaim it to.the peo-
ple,for it is certainty. The arms of
rebeldom that for nearly two years have
held our troops, though twice their
number, in check, will put forth renew
ed energy. What our army has been
unable to accomplish while he enemy
was not madiened by this last act, it
will find more difficult to accomplish
now. Every effort and every means
will be put into use. In, Southern
homes there will be greater sacrifices -
in sentiment the people will be more
closely allied--in efforts they will be
more determined to achieve the end
they first struck for. Let no ono de-
ceive himself with the, idea that our
enemy will be less strong by reason of
this act Of "military necessity" In
it's most favorable aspect it has no 9th
er tendency than to prolong the war
and finally to render reconstruction
impossible to enslave not only negroes,
but to impose burdens most grievous
to be borne upon the white population
ofthe country. The developments from
this time forward will tend to show
that our conclusions in this matter are
correct, though years may elapse be-
fore they will be fully apparent. Let
