Jos. Daily for Congress. The meeting ’was organized by appointing ...ibat veteran Democrat, Col. Jambs Ciiesnut president, and other necessary, offices,. It •was a voluntary .outburst, of the people iu fa '-,.ypr of the'nominee,-as. no formal notice of ’-Wce-mceting had been previously made. Air. Daily was,present, and made a lew remarks in reference to tho disorganizing schemes of a 1 dew selfish politicians—to Ids course in Con gress—and in defence of the regularity of his " nomination. , That tried, bid war horse of ■ ff'ino.ci’acy; Col. James Cjibssut, was then en- thusiastically called lor, who, for near hi ‘ hour entertained tho mooting with an olo ■ qntnt speech. He declared that Mr. Daily -. had been regularly nominated.-and was just ;jly entitled to the support of every true.Dem ,:;oorat; that lie had proven ids devotion to bis country in tho hour of her peril; that ho had been-endorsed, by tho votes of ninety-seven delegates,in tiio conventions of Cumberland and .Perry ; arid only fourteen delcgatos-oould : be found in the two conventions against him. He denounced tho course of the disorganizes, ns injust to Mr. Daily, who had proven him self to be a true and patriotic representative. He (dosed.his remarks by appealing to the democracy of Southampton and nil other Un ion-loving citizens to vote for their well-tried And faithful representative, Hr. Daily. The meeting was unanimously and . enthusiasti cally in favor of his re.-eleetion, and adjourned with three cheers fur him and Coi.'Ciiesnut.' Southampton.

Those who nf' ford “aid and comfort to rebels," are to bo 1 sent to prison at once, and any attacks up on the administration is to bo considered “af fording aid and comfort 1” ■ Under this latter clause we strongly sus- pect that President Lincoln himself might ■be convicted, for aside from Horace Greeley, Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner, and a few others wo might name, ,wo doubt whether any man in the land has given the Rebels morC ☆^l aid and comfort than President Lincoln by his incessant, agitation of the subject of sla very, Wo solemnly and sincerely believe that if ho wore under pay to the Rebel Gov ernment,-ho could not subservo their cause bettor and promote.its interests iu a moro effectual manner, than helms been doing for the past six months. Put for slavery ngita tation, and the abolition interference with the plans of Gen. 'McClellan, Richmond would now bo ours and the-thousands of our troops who were slaughtered at Manassas, like sheep in the shambles, through the imbecility of the incompetent officers who were appointed to command them, might still bo living.. As soon as tho gallant McClellan restores order out of tho Chaos and confusion produced by others, and .wins a brilliant victory or two, and things generally begin to look bright and hopeful, the President is taken with a relapse of his itching propensity, to intermeddle with slavery, and tho next thing from him is-a Proclamation, (very like those issucd.by Hun ter and Promont, which ho was obliged, to re pudiate by tho force of public sentiment)— to dishearten and discourage the •true friends of the Union, Our hopes for the suppression ot-lhe rebellion and the restoration of the Union lessen at each interference with tho subject of slavery by the President, and wo sometimes ejaculate— will he never cease his' negro agiialio a until the'country is destroyed and our Government riiincd ? . . ' The fanatics in the late Congress acted up on the abused idea, that.slavery must bo de stroyed before the rebellion ran bo crushed and the Union restored ; and wo regret to see, by the ads, of the President, .that he ton, has imbibed.that ridiculous, and nonsensical no-' tion. A greater delusion no man ever la bored undoiv The attempts' on (lip part of Congress and the President, to dcstroy slave ry, will not,aid a single iota the objects' pro posed,; on (he contrary, it will only multiply and aggravate the difficulties; All the Proc- lamations; that may'he issued.for that pur pose, will, most assuredly fail,'hnd-bip as lit tle hooded as the idle bah.lings of a madman. Why do wo say. so? Because the President’s Proclamation cannot he enforced . beyond, and outside of the loyal Stales. Suppose. Virginia,. South Carolina, .Georgia, Alabama, Arkan sas, Texas, and the othcr'Statos'in rebellion at the present time, should remain so on the first of next January, when the'Presidont is sues his Proclamation to free the slaves in fhnso'Stntea, who could be. found In tboae States bold enough to eirculate and read the Proclamation to the negroes, and who' would bo there to carry into effect the.'President’s wishes, and the laws of tiro United States ? The rebellions Staton mnst./fr.i'f lie 1 subdued, before slavery can bo’destroyed, in them,—. Slavery is a local institution,and the people in those States whore it exists, rightfully con tend .that, the President,' nor Congress, has any right to interfere with if. Long before the .adjournment‘of tho late 1 session of Congress the people throughout the country became painfully sensible of-tho fact, that its actions were interfering with'-the vig orous prosecution of Hip war, and'when final ly, it did adjourn, it was hailed with delight 'by almost every'.nne. They hoped that plen ty of men and means would .b'e given to tho braVo McClellan, to enable him to prosecute the war, in-tho shortest possible lime,- to a successful issue,-and they earnestly prayed, that idl who attempted to interfere with Ida plans in the future, whether President, Cabi net, Horace Greeley of the fanatics in the late Congress bbforo he succeeded, in suppressing the Rebellion and restoring the Union—might bo confined in Port Warren; or some other Government Hostile, until the war'was closed and Peace, restored. - Wo are glad President Di.vco.tK’, in obedi ence to tho demands of such semi-traitors as Sumner, Phillips,; Beecher, Wilmot and Helper, issued his Emancipation 'Proclama tion previous to thoelcction in this State. The people are thus afforded an opportunity to spent'their sentiments for and against this infamous measure at the polls. The issue is fairly made up by .the President' himself. Those who favor tho Proclamation and the emancipation of four millions of slaves, and desire tho war to continue to an indefinite period, will vole. tho Republican ticket. Those who arc opposed to haying four millions of ignorant blacks foisted upon the North, to compete with white nmn, will vote tho Bemo eratiojieket.

TUB ISSUE. Senate. FALSE CHARGES, Tho York Democratic papers are making charges against Mr. Daily, the regular nom inee of the Democratic party for Congress, which are ns vindictive as they arc false. They say he is tho nominee of tho Repub lican Conferees. This is false. The Eepub-, lioan Conference adjourned without making any nomination. They stigmatize him as an Abolitionist;— This is false. During his entire Congressional career, bo voted uniformly against Abolition schemes as fast as they came up. Nor did ho, for tho purpose of obtaining big contracts from the Government, represent himself as a warm “ Lincoln man” and Abolitionist, : as did some of tbo mon who are now slandering him by denouncing him as an Abolitionist. They say bo has not denounced Corruption. This is false. 110 did, in his speech, de nounce, in severe and withering language, all Government peculators—not even except ing those pure and very conscicniiofts Demo brats who got contracts, and made some $206,000, by pretending great love for “ old Aue." When the resolution censuring Cam eron, Weli.es end Cummings, was voted on, wo Jjmud Mr, Daily’s name in the affirmative. The York papers, among other complaints, say Mr. Daily has done nothing for York county. In tho name of honesty, what could lie have done for York county, except to rep resent her, to tho best of bis judgment ? Tib bad no patronage to bestow ; be bad no in fluence with tbo administration, and oven if ho bad influence, surely. Mr. Glossbkenner’s “ radical" Democratic supporters would not accept office under Lincoln. Now,, wo will make this bargain with, our friends of York —after wo again elect Mr. Daily to Con gress, we will agree that ho shall give York county every office in his gift. We hope this will satisfy our s'brodioad neighbors. Another alligation against. Mr. Daily in, that, lie’ims not stood up for the “Union ns' it was, and tho Constitution as it is.” This is false; Mr. B. declared in'lris speech that be was’in favor of this, very thing. Another charge is that bo dodged tbo qnes- ion and did not vote on . the District of Co- lum'bin Emancipation' bill. Mr. B.mi.y was at homo, in Perry county, when that vote was taken. We know ho had to be at homo on that'day ;he could not help it. But, before ic left the House toprooeed home, ho “ paired off,” as it ia called, .with a Republican mem ber Who favored the measure; The .vote was aken during Mr. Baily’s absence', but,tho Republican member (Mr. Pattox,) true to the promise he had ihado to Mr. Baji.v, did not vote. Therefore the Bill neither lost nor gained a. vote by Baii.v’s absence. It ia well known that lie was decidedly opposed, to the hill, as he was to nil other Abolition-projects. Again, asks a correspondent of the York Press, “ did ho (Baiiy) not shamefully desert the Democratic,'party .and go with'the Aboli tion party, body, soul and breeches and stock loo?” jVo, he .did not. We will'hot. pro- nounce this charge merely false, for this is too mild an expression to usn ; hut wo brand ft a wilful, deliberate he, without one semblance’ of truth, We have thus takeriup and.answered'some' of tho reckless ■ falsehoods circulated against .Mr’. Baily by rockloak men. Democrats! it is for you to rebuke the slanderers,, by elect ing Mr. BAiayby a decisive vote.': Hois your regular nominee'; ho has served you faithful; ly thus far, ajid, our word for it, he will not lecciv'o you if you send hint back to Congress. This is no time for disorganization—no time for volunteer 'candidates to -attempt to sow seeds of discord. Baii.y should he, and will bo elected by a triumphant majority. , liEinrEfilS fBOHR, BASIiYw . r ' Carlisle, Oct. 3; 1802. To the Editor of the Volunteer ; Bear Sir:—My'attention has just boon called to a communication, signed “ A Looker On,” in tiio York Gazelle of last : week, in which the writer declares that he “ happens to know that .a letter was read in tho Republi- can .Congressional Conference, hold at Bridge port, on the 25th ult., from Mr. Bally him self.” I now declare, upon my honor, that 1 did not write 'a'letter to said Conference oi to any single member of if, or to any member of, the Republican party, or any other party, on the subject of tho Republican nomination' for Congress.,, I therefore brand-tho declara tions' of “ A Looker On” -as wilfully and maliciously false.

FellowDemocrats—As many runiors have been nut into circulation by my disorgani zing competitor anil snin,e of those' who are advocating liis unjust claims to your support, I doom it rny duty to you itnd in justice ty myself to say that all such reports are false. 1 have made no pledges to the UopuhUean party whatever,' in any shape or form, iu ref erence to the organization of' the House, or for any other purpose, whatever. Their sup port of me is voluntary, as they have asked no pledges . from mo ; and I have, boon'in formed by many of them that if they had any prospect of electing a candidate of'their own party, they would not vote for me. sly pub lic record is before you—l am opposed to rebellion against the Government in every shape, and think that all the powers of the Constitution should be exerted to suppress the present unjustifiable one, and in this course I am sustained by the Democratic Convention which mot ht Harrisburg on the 4th 01-fuly last, by the following resolution which that body passed; “ JlcuoU-oil, That it is the duty of the dem ocratic party to extend an ,?i/ {qualified sup port to the national government in the sup pression of the present unjustifiable rebellion.” 1 have boon a Democrat all my life. Can my competitor say as much ? It is within the memory, of,many of you, that ho edited a Wind paper, in York. But a very few years ago he held the very responsible office of Sergeant nt-Arnis of the National House of Kcpresen tatives, a majority of which body was com posed of Abolitionists and Know Nothings. Probably, my very oxactingand disorganizing competitor oun explain by what moans ho obtained their votes 1 If I bad permitted some of those who are now pursuing mo with such unrelenting hatred, to have used my position in Congress to promote thoir unjust purposes, I assure you, follow Democrats, there would be no opposition to mo from them now. Fellow Democrats ! I have been nominated ns your candidate, strictly according to the usages of the party ; precisely as every other candidate has heretofore; been nominated. Will you allow mo to bo stricken down by an unscrupulous sot of speculators mid contrac tors, and thereby load your aid to enable them to extort from and plunder the govern ment ? With yosi,_l leave this issue, and in whatever manrior you may decide it, I shall have the satisfaction of ever romdriiboring that I 'have done no not detrimental to tho interests of tny country or my party.

Circulars of tho most infamous character headed “ Meeting of tlio Cumberland County Democratic Committee,''—‘'Daily Repudia ted," —have been sown broad-cast throiigh Cumberland, Perry and York Counties, by the hirelings of Adam J.

When Mr. Glossbrennor can explain.how ho came to be elected Ser- to the House of: llnprcsentn-' fives, by Republican votes, it will bo time for him and his pdheronts-to oast reproach and suspicion on Mr. Daily: ContuActs l Con tracts ! Contracts ! are the great object of his warmest friends and supporters; not pa triotism, not love of the,Democratic party.— Wo have, boon told by a gentleman from Newvillo, that Glosshronnor’s party actually planned the following scheme for, electioneer ing purposes i~‘‘ to go to all the Duhlcarda, Menonifes, and other religious denominations’ (if a similar character, and toll them tha ‘Joseph Bally was in favor of carrying on the war, atid that Mr. Glossbronner was in favor of peace ; am! that there lyould bo no pence, unless Glossbreuner and such .as bo were elected.-’ ” , A gohtleman of Newvillo says,ho, can prove that this is part'of their'programme. Cut to-go, back to the subject of the circa- ' lar. Tho. Standing Committee, or rather a number of the members of that Committee, with others who wore not members, didnioot at Martin’s Hotel, on Wednesday last. '• As they really.passed .no resolutions of any hut.determined to do nothing, wo did not in tend to fake any formal notice of their pro- ceedings. ' But'thd lying and fraudulent.cir ;cular which wo have mentioned, lias caused a number of our citizens.to call • upon the officers of that meeting fur a full, exact' and detailed statement of all. its proceedings.— : That.has been furnished'by tbo officers of the mooting, and .boro wo publish :ib,. that .every behest Democrat may peruse it: ■ ■MeeTINO ;-0»“ATtO SrANOINa COMMITTEE OF pOUNTV.—III ptjjfc buaiiee of a. priii'fed notice signed"!,yJohlf M’Crca and others,, a large number of the members of the Democratic Standing Com mittee assemhlod at Martin’s Hotel, on tho 2ml inst. ( at H o’clock. On motion, Win. H. Miller, Bsq,; was called to. the Chair, and Win. Willis appointed. Secretary. ' . .. 'fho Chair asked, some gentleman to state tho 'object of the mooting,' when Prof.. 11. K. Bums arose.and staled, That for bis part; lie had come to nonundto “ a Democrat for Con gress,” - The Chair requested tho gentleman to show Iroin whence', tho authority of this, mooting was derived to-mako Anamination. Two sets of resolutions were then'presented to tho Chair, to be read. Oho sot of resolu tions read as billows ■ “ The Democratic Standing Committee of Cumberland County have .boon convened at an unusual thud, and .under very extraordi nary circumstances—and it becomes them ns conservators of the best interests of the party whiTappointod them to. meet the exigency witii calmness, but no less withdeterminiitiou, The nominee of this aud Perry county to represent this district in Congress,'occupies the.strange and anomalous position of being-more accepta ble to tließepublicans of the district than lie is to tbo whole party which wo represent—and in view of ids entire silence upon the subject, - and'tho'circumstances under which this state of tilings was brought about, at a time of all others the most important, not only to the country but to our party, wo feel that, wb cannot, and that the party should not he CALLED UPON TO ENDORSE JOSEPH BaILY by voting for him-for Congress. Therefore, '■ Resolved, That the Democratic voters of tins county are and should ho at.liberty to vote for such a reliable and trustworthy Dem ooral for Congress as their own sense'of pro priety indicates. .Resolved, That in the nominee of York bounty ivo have a man well qualified to rep resent this District in Congress, mid therefore recommend Adah J. Glossbrenner to the support of the DenuieraUu voters in this Con gressional District." The second Bet of resolutions road as fol lows : i “Whereas, Hie members of Hio Standing ■ Committee of Cumberland Countyhave been , called together this day by certain individu i als, 'without any regular notice through the i Democratic papers, mid without giving the t informal notice , that was given in sufficient i time (someof the members being absent from the County, and others who were notified not getting the notice twenty-four hours before . the time appointed for the meeting,), so that . some of the Committee aro necessarily ab . sent: Therefore wo protest against the or ganization of the 'Committee at the present time, as tho meeting is improperly and irreg i ularly called, and without sufficient notice to 1 the members. , Therefore,.' not nj a Standing Committee, . hut as an informal; meeting of Democrats, . bo it I . Unsolved, That tho Standing Committee of ; tho Democratic party of this cunnty, boin" I the mere creation of tho County Convention” i and deriving its very existence and all its i power from that Convention, have no riMit to dispute tho propriety of its notion in the nomination which has been made for Con gress. nor in regard fd any of its nominations. Such conduct would lie presumptuous and disorganizing. As (r Committee wo have no authority but that which has boon delegated to us by the Convention which created ns. They have delegated to us np right to call in question or to annul tlioir action. The sumo principle which would annul their action in making nominations would annul their notion' in creating this Committee, and would there fore leave us divested of all authority. Resolved, That when organized as a Com mittee, we will attend simplv to the legitimate duties assigned by tho Convention —that of providing for tlio wants of the party during the coming year hi matters wherein tho County Convention has not presided; and that wo ttill not bo led into disorganizing nota by tho requests or wishes of factious men who carp more for their self-interests, than tho good of tho party or tho welfare of tho coup try. ' ' . Resolved, That when Joseph Baily declared in his speech, delivered In Congress, that “ the great and only purpose of tho Govern ment in my (his) judgment, should bo to maintain and defend tho Constitution as it is, and to restore the Union, as it teas prior to the rebellion,” he uttered what is now every where acknowledged to be the great funda mental principle of tho Democratic party.— With,this principle inscribed on his banner, and being, regularly nominated by the Dem ocratic Conference, every Democrat who re fuses to support him is disloyal to his party, and disloyal to his country/ . - Resolved, That whether the Republican party have or have not agreed to support Mr. Baily, is no Pause for the Democratic party to object him, so,lung as ho adheres to Democratic principles, ■ and stands upon a Democratic platform. If the Republican party comes into the support of wholesome doctrines, and regard these doctrines as vital to the best interests of tho nation, wo should TojoicPdnstead ofeavsllingi r ' : 7 Resolved, That tho donunolatidns which have been heaped'upon Joseph Baily, and tho reports that have been circulated that ho is an Abolitionist, are wretched slanders on his character, and are only made by those who are, really and in heart, disloyal to tho principles of his party.” Both etets of resolutions iVore laid before th'e mooting for its consideration. After some remarks by Mr. Oornman.tho Chair addressed the meeting St length, on the stibjeCt of Mr. Daily’s speech in Congress,, several of ’ tho members present denouncing it as an Aboli tion document, and containing sentiments in approval of a military despotism. The Chair read tho whole speech, declaring that it con- fainod nothing,of the kind, but on the con trary uttered the very sentiments of the-Now York resolutions, and the resolutions of tho Democratic State Convention, lie called. up ,on . any one present to show wherein the speech was subject to tho charges mado against it. After considerable discussion on this and other points, a motion was made that the meeting adjourn until 1 o’clock. The motion prevailed, and the. meeting adjourned. At 1 o’clock, I’. 51., the meetings was again called to order, when Mr. Willis offered the following resolutions, which ho said he did as a “ peace offerings”' , ' “ liesolced. That- wo recommend to. 1 the Democrats of Bach- township in this County, to perfect their organization ns much ns pos sible. and to do everything they can to secure tho success of ottr ticket. Pesuhed, That wo.ndw adjrtiirn siiledie.” , Sir. Willis offered this a? an aiucndment to the former resolutions.' ' I'liis gave rise to ■some discussion, 'after which a Vote was taken bnthe amendment. A division was called for, which resulted in 16 voting forthO amend ment, and 1G voting.against it,'.; ; The original resolutions wore then called fur, when Mr. Wherry.took the floor,- and ad dressed tho meeting at sonic. length, stating that he Could not vote for either of tho.sorids. of resolutions offered; the first'because they were disorganizing in their character, and because we had no right-to annul tho notion of tho County Convention, nnd tho second, because the'language was too harsh towards those who refused to support Mr. Baily. "He then.moved that both series of resolutions ho laid 1 on tho table. This motion was .seconded, and tho vote taken. The Chair decided that it was carried in tho affirmative.-' A division was called for, when those in favor of tho res olution were requested to stand up. ■ Kighlecn stood up; Those opposed to'.the motion were requested-to stand,tip, and fourteen stood up. So tho motion was carried, -. , i A motion was then made and seconded, that the meeting do now Adjourn sine die. The vote waslaken lind decided in the affirma tive. Tho-Chair, asked .if a division was called for! No division was called foiyntvd the Chair declared the meeting adjourned.' j\V.-It. MILDUR, , . ’ \ ' ' President, War. lYn.r.fs, 'Secretary.” Here then, Democrats, are the full proceed ings in detail of all that tho Standing Cow-.' mittcedid,showing clearly that, the resolutions published in the circular spoken of, were voted out by four of a majority.. In tbo fact or this, tho circular falsely asserts that if i direct vote had boon had on the resolutions, they, would have carried. , What could be a more direct vote, than on a motion .to lay them on the table, in other words, to oast them out? After the Committee adjourned, tho ininor ty met by .themselves, and without any op position, of course, passed .their resolutions. On this action they have circulated over the Whole country, that they carried everything, and that'“Baily was repudiated I" On such fraud and falsehood the cause of Adam J. Glosshrennev is built. It •is fur' those who love fraud arid falsehood to support him. General Emancipation! The President has yielded to the Abolition pressure, and issued'a proclamation declaring that .on the first of January, 1803, ail tho slaves iii States then iu rebellion, or in any “designated, part of a State,” “shall be then tlusneejorward and forever free,” and tl|o gov ernment of.the Uuited States “will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may mahej'or their actual freedom.’’ Greeley, Sumner & Co. have triumphed. Abolitionism is rampant in tho administra tion,- in Congress, wherever their inllueucc .could prevail. Tho proclamation of tho Pres ident in an outrage upon tho humanity syid good sense of the country, to say nothing of its gross unonnstitutionality. Now, then, the negroes have a phanco—or will have, after the first of January. They may rise, if they will, and -massacre white men, women and children, till their hands are smeared and their appetites glutted with blood. They may do it with impunity—fur they have the as'suranoo of the President of tho United States that the government “will do no act or acts to repress them in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom." The proclamation is one of general eman cipation. In tho States in rebellion' tho ne groes aro proclaimed free without compensa tion—in the loyal slave States, if there shall be any at that time, the slaves are to for at a fixed compensation, the President says, although there is not a dollar in tho treasury to do it with, lie is remarkably liberal with what is not Jus —the people’s money ; and reminds one of the Devil offering all tho kingdoms of the earth, when ho didn’t own a foot of it. In the name of the Constitution, of Human ity and of Wisdom, wo solemnly protest against this proclamation I And wo proph ecy nothing but evil as itr legitimate result.

The Now England Governors, who assembled the other day in Providence, informed tho Presi dent that they, were not prepared to assist him any furthet in putting down tho rebel lion unless he. changed his policy. There must have been some very heavy pressure brought to bear upon him to have produced so sudden and radical a change in his opin ions. In addition to tho throats of tho Now England Governors, New York politics, it ap pears from tho World, had also something to do in extorting from the President his extra ordinary proclamation. It is, therefore, not the measure of a statesman, but of a politici an. With the World, wo aro disposed to speak of the Presid ont with all the rOspoot due to his exalted position ; but when ho de parts from a policy to which he.has clung with such fenacitj’, and that, too, because of throats-from a dogmatical and'infuriated fac tion, we are disposed to lament his weakness and vascillation. When tho highest officer of the Government surrenders his matured judg ment, at the threat of faction, wo may con clude that there is reason to fear for tho per manency of our institutions, whether South ern treason is successful or not, Tho World remarks; “ A second proclamation was wholly un called for, and even unauthorized by thocon liseation aob, expect a proclamation of pardon aiid amnesty. Great ns is the national hu miliation at the descent, of its chief magis trate to,such.an artifice, it .is nol.efisy to re sist the conclusion that this proclamation was made for the sake of its political effects on the Republican Convention at Syracuse. ' “The reason why the 'President atta'obes so much importance,to the proceedings of this Convention are perfectly intelligible, if wo can once conceive the'possibility of Ins res toring to snob 'extraordinary means to gain its'endoi's'ement, When the Republican Slate Convention Was. hold in Massachusetts, a week dr two since, that body, withheld'from' Mr. Lincoln the customary resolution.of con . faience which tho President expects .from a State Convention of his own parly. This in dignity from his party, in tho leading State of New England,. coupled as it was. in his ■own. mind), with the abqso of the Republican press, and the secret mooting iff New England Governors for purposes supposed to 1)6 adverse to his administration,.led him to fear that lie might encounter similar or worse indignity from the Ropualiean party of the great State of New York. The conservative of this State are so strong that they would be cerium to in troduce a resolution of hearty endorsement, and insist'on its passage. Thoradicals un der the leaddf Mr. Oreely would have op posed it with great vigor, Mr. Lincoln ami Mi. Seward would have been'bitterly assail ed in-it debate k ploy and excited (enough to ho universally Vend. Probably neither oftlihm cared to sit for tho.ir portraits to such limners in, the" presence of the whole country. Tho proclamation was accordingly lashed on the S2d, .in season to ward off these ■ criticisms and secure the hearty support of the radicals to a resolution of endorsement. Mr.'Sownrdl ' gave in ; but- Mr. Rlair, who lias ,no personal; interest in Neiv York polities, continued to oppose such-a proclamation to tho last."

Northward. It seems as if it was part of this* nefarious Abolition policy to prolong the war, on oue pretext or another, in order that a necessity for black labor may be created at the North by the army draft on the white population. Already, it is estimated, over three hundred thousand have been abstrac ted from the laboring Population of the free States by death and wounds, by disease and disability resulting from the war. This is a permanent abstraction from the white labor of the free States, and therefore the Aboli tion philanthropists,■ rejoicing at the horrible fact, agree that wo want at this time 300,- 000 negroes to fill the vacuum. The fields and workshops of the North have now in the ar my, or soon will have, more than a million of men. If the war should continue another year, it is safe to say that one half of these would bo permanently withdrawn from use ful labor. Hero is a obanoo to introduce 500,000 more negroes {is permanent resir dents, and 500,000 more to supply the places temporarily mode vacant by the residue of tbo army who, it is supposed, may escape death, wounds and disease, and some day re-' turn to enter into competition for daily bread with this host 6f negroes introduced among us by the policy of the Abolitionists.
