wr ah P GRAY. MEEK, BELLEFONTE, PA. Friday Morning, Dee, 18, 1863. The Proclamation. At first glance, the Proclamation of the President, appended to his third annual message, ‘would seem almost fair; and no don't many will be misled into sapporting it. Lct us examine one or two of 1ts main features, and see if any man can tustsin such a project without an utter disregard for the very first principles of republican government, In the first place, Mr. Lincoln appears to te particuiarly partial to the word ¢‘loyal,” which he uses repeatedly, applying it as well to States as to individuals, The fact of his u:ing such a word proves that he is either ignorant of the laws of his langnage, or believes our institutions to be subverted. No American citizen can be loyal; for loy- alty implies the existence of some superior, t» whom allegiance is due, and we acknowl" edge no superior save only the God of flea- ven. The people in this country are sover- eigns. and cannot; thercfore, be subjects.— They k:iow nothing of the meaning of the term loyal,” and never, in the whole histo ry of our Givenment, has it been used un- til the present administration came into power. According to the construction of our language, there must be some superior before there can he loyalty ; we acknowl edge zo superior, and cannot, therefore, be loyai. But we should enterupon an inter- minable tas allt e blunders Mr. Lincoln wakes in the nse of langunge. We Lave only mentionel this because we do not believe it to be a hunder—we believe that the leaders of Ab- olitionism use (he term designidly, and with the purpose of in pressing upon the minds of the people the fact that henceforth they are fo have a self-con:tituted superior, to whom loyalty is due and for whom it will be exacted. The phrase loyal State gov- ernments’’ is used in almost every clause of the proclamation, and yet such a thing was never in existence, under the Constitution of the Unlted States, as a “loyai State gov- erranent,”” In (he name of [leaven, what enperior have the Stites of this Union to whom they can be loyal 2 It certainly can- not be Mr. Lincoln himsdf, for if justice were co-e and the wishes ef the people carried out, the Stutrs, by thar Senators, would lorg simce have impeached him, and confined lin 10 prison, for disloyalty to the only sovercignty Americans kinow—the peo- ple— whose servant he is. The State pov- ernmants have 2#cl been overthrown, exeept in Maryland, Virginia, #nl other States where tie peepic have fallen unde? the iron heel of despotism. In the South, the sov- ereign ‘tates have broken the compact which tound them to their cquals of the North, and for three years a sirife has been raging, the most bitter and terrible the world ever knew, for the purpose of forcing the Soutl- ern people to love us, for without love there ean be no Union. But who ever dreamed of a State having a superior 'o whom loy- alty was due? We do not deny that the Southern people have violated the laws and heen guilty of treason; tat that they have been disloyal, we uttarly deny. And if the Proclamation were not so dia- belieally wicked. it weuld be suprewely ri- dieulons. The President mekes the mild request that the | iates in rebellion give up rights far more deer and sacred than those for the maintenance of which they original ly took up srs. He asks a brave and chiv. alrous people to give into his hands the men who have led them so nobly and well, and cov red the Southern name w th glory 3 and what does he offir as a compensation 2 He promises that they shall be his serfs; that their property shall be t.ken from them; t at a horde of semi-barberiins shall be turned loose among them and pliced upon an eqnrlity with them. and that the yoke of a puritan, fanatical aristocracy shall be put upon their necks forever, Under this Proc- Inmation a brave people can'die but never gu! mit : nor was it the intention cf the ab- olitionists that they should. It was issued for the purpose of protracting the war and re-electing Mr. Lincoln to the presidency. Tt is provided that in ten States mertioned |- by name, whenever one-tenth of the num- ber of persons who voted in the presiZential election of 1860, shall subscribe to the oath preseribed by Mr. Lincoln, they shall have power to re-establish a State government; ‘whic 1 means that the abolition candidate for President "in 18G4, shall receive heir electoral voe axd that they shall each send two abolition Senators to Congress. And this is why 1t wasissued. It is but enother instrument for the destruction of oar government, another prop to the despo- tiem which is being so rapidly reared. And, by his own admission, what is it he requires ie States in rebelhon to do? In the message he says, ¢“ According to our po- ¢litical system, as a watter of civil admin- ‘istration, the (ieneral Government had no “lawful power ta effect emancipation in any «State.” He then requires that those in re- heilion shall take an oath to support the Constitution and the Emancipation procla- mation, How id it possible to do both when he says himself that the latter 18 unconsti- tutional ? It is just ag impossible to sup- port both as to gerve God and Satan. We cannot believe’ Mr. Lincoln so’ignorant as to have overlooked this fact, and he must have k if we attempfed a criticism of’ counted largely on his powers of deception | and the gullibility of the people, when he issued this document. The footing upon which this last official act of the President puts the war, is appal- ling, Tt makes it a war of extermination on the one hand, and of desperation on the part of those who are contending for every right which freemen hold dear. If it is to | be carried on until the people of the South subscribe to Mr. Lincoln’s oath, the whole no honorablz man can ever submit to such | a poiicy until the last one capable of wield- ing a weapon of defence, has fallen. Tt can- | not be possible that the Administration at Washingion imagines that the people of the | «so called Confederacy” are cowards.— | Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and scores | of other sangninary battle-fields forbid such a supposition. They know they are not and they know that this Proclamation will but exasperate them to a greater degree and make the strife more bitter and desperate, | It is but another link in the chain of des- | potism, another step in the programme marked ont years ago, when the fanaticel | abolition party first began to exist. There has been no paper issued since the commencement of the rebellion in which the intentions of the Administration are more glaringly apparent, People may pus. | zle their brains over the precious docament, but time will show that the Philadelphia Age has come to the correct conclusion, | viz: that the Proclamation means ‘MORE WAR AND MORE LINCOLN.” & re A OE Arne ga Our present Administration is a | horrible monster which has grown fat upon the flesh of human beings. Tt has not brain | sufficient for its own existence, but lives a horrible soit of life made up of all the | death it has produced. When 1t lan-| guishes, the word goes forth, and upon | the banks of some southern river, twen- ty or thirty thousand brave men are | slaughtered, and the waters are turned into | biood. This scems to give it vitality. Sew- | ard’s magic bell rings incessantly and | military prisons groan with victims, In the frightful reverie into which thoughts of such deeds cast the mind, a thousand phantoms and spectres rise from bloody graves and | throng around us, and far beyond we see hell yawn'ng to receive the Administration it has used as an instrument when it can | no longer use them. te Lg X75.

Ex President Pierce. ¢ Boson, Dec. 2 —Mrs. Jana N. Pierce, wife of cx President Pierce, died this morn- | ing at Andover, Mass She has been in feeble health for several years.” How much of bereavement is implied in this brief arnouncement they only can know who enjoyel the pleasure of a persun- al acquaintance with Mrs. Picree, and know how close and strong were the ties of mu- tual affection which in this case bound the husband and wife in the bonds of an imp:r- ishable love. She was a gentle and loving soul, a woman of rare social virtues, great- ly beloved by an extensive’ circle of cher- ished friends, and held by them in a most ! affectionate regard. She had been a fragile and delicate person—Iittlc else, indeed, than ' a valetudinarian—ever since the death of het little son by a railroad accident, thir-' tean years ago. From ihe effects of that bereavement she | never recovered, It transformed, to her, the | glittering display, and _honcr and power connected with the elevation of her honor- | ed kustand to what was then the most au- | gust office in the world, into the most hol- l.w and empty of fleeting mockeries. All! that assiduous caré, prompted by anxious | affection, could do to restore her shattered | health was done by Gen. Pierce ; but the | lovely May climate of Madeira, among the | vine-cled steeps of that most beautiful of the islands of the summer sea, failed to re- store the bloom and enjoyment of life to | her whose heart was already in that Better | Land where her lost treasure was, and whith. er she herself has now gone 5 mect again her darling boy. The sympathies of thou- sands of friends will go out to the bereaved husband who, in this hour of affliction, ig made to realize the hollowness of all world- | of The Presidents Message. The President's plan for reconstructio n ot restoration seems t» be less a plan of pa- cification than a device to perpetuate effect of the aboliien measures in Southern States. proclamation which Mr. Lincoln proposes to issue sounds very much like a ukase from | the chambers of an autocrat, instead of the | véice of an orcinary man, temporarily res- nation will be one scene of desolation, fo: | pecting the constitutiopal government of the the the The plan embodied in th United States, In our view the grand question is now “Can we restore peace and Union, without reference to slavery or the negro at all?” If the proclamations and acts of the adminis- tration are law, they will stand as law till repealed, The past ig past. But the Pres- 1dent seems to think the great question,how to perpetuate the laws and proclamations relating to slavery ; and the question of peace and Union he makes wholly seconda- ry to that. The negro is the prominent ob- ject of his care ; the legislation relating to the negro is that which alone he labors to make effective ; the negro is the condition on which he rests the possibility of peace. This prominence given to the negro is a melancholy indication of the failure of Mr. Lincoln to see the future as men of saga- city, true statesmen here and elsewhere see it, If rhe slave is free, he is free ; and why then waste so many words in making the peace of our nation dependenton his freedom ? : A wise man would trust the prcclama- tions and the acts of Congress to the future action of the courts and the people, not thrust them forward now asche special con- ditions of pacification. As we readfthe message Mr, Linco'n means to say that there is no peace except on the condition of abol- ition, Wisdom would have looked for peace without any such condition, leaving the law to their own effect. The serious question is whether thisplan of the President is calculated to bring about peace—whether it is a proclamation that is likely to be well received by any consider- | ab'e portion of the people engaged in the insurrection, and to hasten the close of the war. It is plain that what Mr. Lincoin wants is peace and abolition. He does not take into consideration at all the question of peace without abolition. In this respect he lends himself entirely to the radical Abolitionists, and evidently expects to con- tinuz the war until slavery is actually abolished where his old proclamation has theoretically abolished it. I'he President's idea of closing the war is by a sort of indi- vidual and personal contract with each and every wan, woman and child, to the effect that 1f the person will sustain all the policy of the Administration and all its acts and proclamations, he or she will be pardoned. ‘Lhe offer is doubtless one which the Presi— dent has the right to make. If the people | will a~cept it, it 1s a very neat and pretty way of doing vp the war. But it certainly does not hold out very brilliant prospects of success as a pacificatory measure. Neither is the President's haiting and hesitating method of defending his position and plan at all encouraging or inspiring. He do's not seem to have faith in it, he introduces it with an argument in its favor, which is of cource an admission that needs defence, and this is a very bad feature in any pubic measure of so great importance as this, — There is nothing statesmanlike in the plan or the paper defending it. It indicates a narrow view of the grand questions of gov- | ernment involved in the future pacification the country, and failure to rise to the solemn importance of the events crow” ding into the close of his administration. — Without preception of the real condition of the country, and without ability to wmas- ter the grand problem before him, we have here from Mr. Lincoln a procla- mation which is, as compared with the vast throes of the nation which have seem- ed to produce it, a very small and puny affair. Was it not enough. to require an oath to support the Constitution of the United Ltates, and t11 laws made and acts done in pursuance of it 2 Why force the negro in ths very nostrils of the Southern man whose "submission to law you zeek 2 It is said the oath requires no more than that? With all due respect to Mr Lincoln it requires a great deal more. It requires a support of a proclamation which one-half of the people ple of the North do not support. It ve- quires the support of the laws one half of the people of the North repudiate as null and void, because unconstitutional. The doctrine is not yet forced on Americans thac they must obey a law until it 1s declared unconstitutional, On the contrary, the American is compelled to judge and take responsibilities on himself, which in no other country are imposed on the citizen and, if, in obedience to a law, an Ameri can citizen injures a neighbor, and the law is declared unconstitutional, he is compell- ed to pay the demages. It is no defence to plead, “Iobeyedalaw on thestatute books,’ This proclamation requires the taking of an oath, as a condition of pardon, which half the citizens of the Northern States would refuse to take. It is true the President may proffer par- don on conditions, But. the question is whether his conditions are wise, practical, likely to do good. We are very much afraid that the Administration knows no more how to make peace than it has here- tofore scemed to know about making war, We see no prospect of peace or good togthe country in the President’s plan. On the contrary, we fear he has thrown away a gol- den opportunity for the country, for the sake | of winning a support among Northern radi- | icals for himself. There is one part of the proclamation i : s ly honors, in the crushing experience of a which presents a curious subject for reflec loss Tike that he is called upon to sufer.— | tion—that in which the President talks about Hariford Temes. | temporary arrangements for the slaves, to BO i be made by State authority, when new A®RascArLy old bachelor says the most State governments are organized.

The general scope of the President's plan may be said to be of the extreme rad- ical sort. He almost but not quite, recog- nizes Mr, Sumner’s State suicide theory.— He ignores the present existence of State governments, regards them as defunct, and anticipales a sort of territorial re-orgamza- tion. Tn this view hes neither sound nor consistent. But what are soundness and consistency worth in our days ? —Journal of Commurce. The end of the War. We submit thal Judge Kelley, of Phila- delphia, who spoke at the war moeting on the 3d inst., discouraged enlistments. He said that there was no move fighting to be done now than such as might occur at a New York election.” If such is the fact, then the soldiers in the field are abun— dantly able to do it, and no more are need- ed, But really, if these people are sincere, what a delusion they are laboring under ever gince the war commenced. They do not apreciate the terrible alterna- tive they have presented to the people of the South. Will eight millisns of people give up all their rights, _all their liberties, all their property without the most desperate struggle ever known in all history ? Will the grand old colonial States of Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia, whose title deeds to indepandence were won in the no— blest straggle of the present age, ever yield their birthrights and be governed by north- ern bayonets, while thereis a hand to wield a sword ? The whole talk of tho present war is ore of subjugation and conquest.— The abolition papers now speak as cooly of ‘conquering’ the South, as if our govern- ment were already announced to be at an end, and an Empire substituted in its place. We are yct to learp how a Republican gov- ernment ean conquer any country, and hold it as subjngated territory. When it does, it ceases to be a Republican government, ag any one with a medium amount of brains must see at a glance. Recently, the abolition party, for some reason are crying aloud more vigorously then ever that the war is over, and yet they are, in the same breath, elamering for more soldiers. Nom, the simple truth is, that the war, so long 2s Mr. Lincoln’s policy is continued at ary rate, will zo on. There is no peace under it, nor possible peace. 1f he could subdue the South, of which thers does not seem to be any reasonable proba- bility, the var would break out in the North for the destruction of State Rights st the South would pave the way for the same at- tempt here, and the people would not cer- tainly submit to it. The South, so far as we can see and learn, are by no means des- pondent. The inability of General Grant to pursue his late advantage is admitted.

In the meantime, the South will bave a chance to raily every available man for a desperate struggle, and anything that now happens toGeneral Grant so far away from his base of supplies, and so far into the eneiny’s country, must prove fatal > him. People, therefore, who talk of the end of the wer, talk nonsense. It is the old game of deception. Itis the tory of “sixty” and -‘ninety™ days, with which our ears were greeted when the war first broke out, The South is neither subdued nor starved out, and all such stories are palpable and not unfrequently wilful false- hoods. The war will end when Mr. Lin- coln is willing to stand by the Union, as it was—the Union of our fathers, that is, the Umen with the Rights of the States unimpaired'—New York Day Book. Message of President Davis. Fortress MONROE, Dec. 11.—Jeff. Davis’s message to the rebel Congress, dated Dec. 7th, is despondent over the losses of the strongholds of Vicksburg, Port Hudson,and many other points. He says there is no improvement in the relations with foreign countries since his message of last Janua- ry; on the contrary there is greater diver- gence in the conduct of European nations, assuming a character positively unfriendly, aud a markea partiality by Great Britain in favor of our enemies is strongly evinced in their decisions regarding the blockade, as well as their marked difference of conduct on the subject of the purchase of supplies by the two belligerents. This difference has been conspicucus since the commence- ment of the war. The public finances de- mand the strictest and most earnest atten- tion. A prompt and efficacious remedy for the present condi'ion ot the currency is ne- cessary to a successful performance of the administration of the government. He rec- ommends taxation instead of further sales of bonds, or issues of treasury notes. The holders of the currency now outstanding can only be protzeted by substituting for them some other security. The currercy must be promptly reduced to prevent the rresent inflated prices reaching rates still more extravagant. He calls upon the peo- ple to come to their rescue; he recommends putting an end to substitution, and modifi- cation to the exemption law, and fo add forces tc the army largely and as promptly as possible, [He regrets the suspension of the exchange of prisoners, and that the com- munication with the trans-Mississippi is co obstructed as to render it difficult to com- ply with the legislation vesting the author- ity over it in the Executive of the govern- ment, The enemy retuse the proposals for the only peace thats possible between us, and the only hope for peace now is in the vigor of our resistance. Mr. Nogas, speaking of a “blind wood- sawer, says : “While none ever saw him see, thousands have seen him saw.” Politeness Run Mad. New York, Boston, Washington, Phila— delphia and other places East are running mad over a party of Russian grandees on a visit to this country. In New York snob- bery and shoddy are having a high old fes- tival over the Lords with unpronounceable names. There are suffers, parties, races, dissipation and obsequiousness till ore 1s disgusted. How it looks to see Americans thus feting the fur wrapt and cold-hearted Rass! They are drinking our wine, waltz- ing with American wives and daughters, hugged, beast-like, in their embrace. No- ble guests from a land where women are knouted till the quivering flesh falls to the ground from their bleeding backs ! Prince- ly guests from a land where wives and sweethearts are stripped, tied to racks and whipped till death, more generous than hu- manity, takes the victim to its own heart for shelter! Aristocratic guests from the nation that has sent weeping and biiterness to bleeding and unhappy Poland— that has filled the eyes of Pulish mothers with tears —the hearts of Polish maidens with death —that bas given the fair maids of Lithua- nia to the unbrideled lusts of brutal and beastly Cossacks ! Dance and drink !— Hob nod and guzzle with the illustrions foreigners! When America was in the bloody day of its national drawing, brave sons of Poland drew their swords and spilt their bloed in our behalf. Poland 18 now oppressed—— Russia is wresting the life — blood from the persecuted people——the snobs, nabobs and codfish of America kiss and hug the illustrious tyrants.——For shame! Yet suchis snobbery—Out here m the west—on the broad prairies, beyond the reach of shoddy and fawning—we call things by their right names—and we call the drunken attention to the Russian novel ty hunters now so fashionable in New York a disgrace to America.
