AYecommend this subject to the consider ation of the patriotic and benevolent in whose midst such families are located.

Some of tho Abolition papers say its stylo is.“fpcculiar,” and this is cer tainly true, but as Mr. Lincoln is a peculiar kind of man, it must bo expected that his ■writings will bo peculiar also. It will be soon that nearly tho entire Message is occu pied with a discu&siou of tho President's favorite theme, tho oninboipiltion of theslaves. Our bleeding country is scarcely roferod to, and the dreadful conflict in which wo are en gaged, and which has caused lamentation and mourning in every house and. family in our land,, is passed over as in small affair. The President has no word of commisseration for tho bravo wounded and dead, no genial para graph, for tho diving.' Indeed, tho Message is strangely barren of every word or idea tbat cnuld lead one to suppose that war had slain its thousands and disease its tons of thousands since tho adjournment of tho last session of Congress. Tho “ everlasting ne gro,” ip-'.lhe'fcnly. subject that occupied the President's mind when preparing his Mess age, and this subject ho exhausts iu his own “ peculiar” way. Jlis.arguments and recom mendations are as" weak as they are illogical, and furnish evidence that Mr. Lincoln should have remained a “ rail-Splitfor,” instead of attempting to ape statesman. Tho Harrisburg Virion thus speaks of this miserable production ; j We. do not-wish .to bo understood that we dissent from alltho opinions expressed by the President in'his.message. .On the contrary, we agree with him that “ it is not so easy to pay something' ns it is to pay nothing”— Mint' " it is,easier to pay a largo sum than it is to pay a larger ■ one”—and that “ it is- easier to pay any sum when wo arc able than it is to pay it before wo are able.” By'wha't 'process of reasoning ho arrived at these important Conclusions wo, are loft in the dark ; but they appear to its to he sound, ami wo think the President deserves some credit for divulging them. If every oilier part.of /iis message was as clear and incontrovertible, there § . 75 1 25 1 50 .. 25 2,00 2 00 1 BO ■5O 2.. 00 ' '75 1 25 1 50 2 00 2 50, 3 00 3 75 5 00. 0 00 would belittle room fur unfavorable criticism. We tire sorry , wo cannot carry our approval much further. However, We'wiil go as-far ■ns we ,can. When he says; “We, of this Congress and this administration, will be re membered in spite of ourselves”— 1 " tho fiery trial through which wo )pass will 'light us down, in honor oi- .dishonor,- to tho latest generation”—wo say, even so.' But when “Wo say wo' are for tho Union”—“ We 4 know how to save tho Union. . The world Icnows wo do know how to save it”—wo take 3. 00 d 00 tho liberty,of.saying wo don’t -believe it ; or,, if.thoy are “ for the Union” and “ know how to saved,” we beg leave to suggest that it is about time, they -were giving somo evidence of their love for it, and their knowledge-of 1 the iii an net- in which it can'.he saved. Uithr erto, it appears to us, they have been trying theftt best, to. convince “the world”-'Unit, they hate the Union and wish to destroy' it. The ■‘assertion’ that “ God muet forever bless” tb6 “ way” they have chosen-, is rather too positive. Yl’e do not think there is any .compulsion in tho case, and are, in .fact, rather inclined to tho belief that God, at present, has 'very little, to do with them or their “;plans.” ‘ ' United Stales Senator There is an evident design upon the part of tho Abolitionists to elect a United States Senator, during the next session of the-Leg islature, by corrunt nreans. It was foresha dowed some weeks ago by Forney’s cDress, and has since boon touched upon by a large- proportion of'the Abolition papers of the State. .On' (his subject libo .Conneautviiio Record, (Abolition.) .says—arid ’its article is approvingly, copied by other Abolition pa pers; ... “It seems lb bo generally conceded that our bandidate. in order to be successful, must receive one Democratic vote; We see the names of General Cameron and, Governor Keener mentioned in connection with the po sition. ,TTe he!icce dial either of’’ these gentle men can hare that cole.” Now, how is Simon Cameron, or Governor Reeder, or any other Abolitionist, to over come that majority of one, except by buying,. wilk money, one or .more members of the Legislature. That is the plain interpreta tion of the paragraph quoted,, and to the' election-of a. .Senator .by that means the whole corrupt Abolition crew are bonding ail their energies. Corruption,’with Uicui, since they have been in power, has become such an every-day business that they have come to look upon it as legitimate—if they ever looked upon it.in any other light, and that is doubtful. AVe take leave to suggest to Democrats that in the event of any Abolitionist succeed ing in bribing enough members of fho Leg islature, elected by the Democratic party, to place him in the Senate, it would'he but strict justice'to conduct hotli the briber and the bribed across the frontier of the Slate, clothed in the juice of the pine and the covering of ■the goose, and with a strict injunction to never again >pol!uto the soil 0/ Pennsylvania. “Frowning down” is utterly useless upon .such men.

HAWS ABOLITION PROCLAMATION. Roy. Dr.NeviaV of tho Presbyterian Stand ard, of Philadeqivi, thinks there is Soriptur-' al authority for Mr. Lincoln’s famous or rather infamous, Piv.donation, and, refers to aoertain text-r-lst Coi. 7th chapter, 21 verso, as proof Ho says, in his paper of Nov. 20, “ We submitted our interpretation of tho pas sage in question to a friend, an intelligent and ’Christian Jurist of this city, with tho de siro that ho would favor us with his .views in regard to it.” ? ■ , ' , We publish the reply this “intelligent and 'Christian Jurist” mado to tho request, be cause wo think .the writer has presented a clear argument against tho doctrines of the Abolitionists, and shows beyond a doubt that Mr. Lincoln’s Proclamation is a violation of Divine ns well ns of human laws. Tho Dr. vnlnlyj wo think, endeavors to overthrow, the argument his “friend” furnished at “ his request.” ■ We copy from tho Standard of the 20th ,ult: Philadelphia, Nov. 10, 18(32. Rev. Alfred Nevin, D. D. llcv. and Dear Sir; —ln response to your request, I herewith present briefly my views of the 2lst verse of tho 7th dh. 1 Cor. I beg to premise that the Scriptures of tho Old and New Testament recognize, without objection, tho relation of.master and slave. .The ac- ceptance ofthe Gospel ofChrist'by faith and practice makes individuals bettor husbands and wives, parents and children, and masters and slaves. There are rules prescribed for slaves as wollns for masters. ' Servants [dou loi—that is to-say, slaves) are required to bo obedient to their masters, and comic them worthy.efallrbonor. And St. Paul tolls us that if any man'tcach otherwise, “ ho is proud, knowing nothing but doting about questions strifes of wards, whereof cometh . envy, and strife, .railing,'evil surtntsings, perverse dis pulings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth.” From such wb are required to withdraw ourselves. • ■ ■ The text to which you refer mo enjoins upon evefj. ono to ho contented with his con dition in life.. “ Art thou culled being a sor want (slnvtf) care not for it. But if ,thou mayest. he-made free, use it rather,” In other words, “ grace.knows no'distinction of freedom or servitude, therefore hear it pa tiently.” The'learned Grotius, .who is good legal as well ' as biblical'authority, adds : And above till, let it nut-drive the slave to seek- his freedom by'unjustifiable, means.” Ho is not to quit the service ofhis master ex cept with his consent. .Christianity duos ii.ot favor the .violation of any civil obligation either by the party in interest, or by any one else for him. Bcferring to the last words of the text, I understand you incline to the opinion that the Emancipation Proclamation oi President Lincoln gives the slavetlio right to freedom. But where do you find the au thority for the President to exercise such a ■power? The-Constitution.of the United Stales .recognizes, the'relationpvas.tajt.aad slave; the'-right .to djssg.Ln6 this relation is not one the of the pbwors delegated to the Congress of United Stater, nor to theGonoral Government, much less.to the Executive authority of the government,- it is among the rights which are reserved -to the States and to the people. I know that this-arbitrary power is claimed, to -ho a pgrt of the miliianj law. But this law only extends to the government of the. Army.and Nary of the United States and to tliomilitia of the States when called into the -service of the -United States.. Neither is it within the scope !lf viou-tial law. This law at the most only gives authority- ovor'persdns and property under the aotual.oontrol and do minion of the military commander. As to the right of the .President to issue the •Proclamation in question, 'I bog.-to .refer to the opinion given ny the lion. Benjamin. F. Curtis, late a Judgo.of the. Supreme Court of the U. S. lid ought to be considered' good authority on subjects of this character, especially as he delivered, the dissenting opinion'in the Bred Scott case. . Judge Curtis, gayd: Whence then do those edicts of the President-spring ? They spring from the assumed power to extend mar tial law over, the' whole United States;.a power for the-exercise of which there is no warrant whatever in the Constitution; a power, which no people could con for .upon an -executive officer and- remain a free people. For it would make.him absolute, master of their lives, their liberties, and their property, vr » Lotus beware how we ho rrow weap ons from the armory of arbitrary power.

Distracted councils, divid ed strength, arcthe very 'earliest effects of an attempt to usodhera. What lies beyond no patriofis how willing to look upon.” I cltiso this communication by presentin'* the following'points which arc, in my opinion" established by the authorities referred..-to herein: ■ I. The relation of master and slave ia ve oognized ns, a lawful relation in the sacred Sciipturcs, and heroin: 1. In the covenant with Abraham. 2. In the laws of Moses. 3. In the Gospels and the Epistles of tho Now Testament. 4. Those various authorities prescribe rules for the master ami for the slave. • 11. The relation is sanctioned by the high est and. must obligatory civil uuthorites of our country, and herein : l. By the Constitution and laws of the United States. , 2. By the Constitutions and lavra of' irtie several States in which ne**rp slavery exists, 3- By the decisions of the Supreme Court of (ho United States, and these decisions are declared by the Constitution to bo the su premo law.of'tho land! 111. 1. A relation thus si th nrr- 1 with "propriety bo stated'to bo an unlawful relation. * . “• I cannot bo dissolved, except by autho rity which established it, namely; the State governments, or the voluntary not of the master. IV, There is no authority given to Con gress, or the government at Washington, to abolish this relation that power be'ing among those which are retained by the people! or by the states affected thereby, Hence it.follows as a logical conclusion that no proclamation or edict by the' President of the Unite'd States, of by Congress, or lly both, or by other States, can legally affect the re lation of master arid slave in the' States where it is established. These-outside au thorities cannot say to the slave,’ “ Thoumay est bo made-free.” 3 ; I ‘beg to add that this argument does not assort the relation of master and slave to be of Divine appointment, like that of husband and wife, and parent anti child; but only that it is a lawful one, such as master and apprentice, guardian and ward trustee ami cestui quo trust, and others which might .be stated. The parties who holil these relations to each other have certain rights and duties, which can only ho set aside or controlled by the exercise' of a lawful authority having jurisdiction of the siibjecl. • I am, witli sincere regard, . ‘ » Yonr friend and ob’t servant.

McClellan stolen a nigger or two, nml boasted of it, tho Abolitionists would to a man have been his supporters.’ Great Fire.—On Saturday last n serious fire occurred at Lock Haven, Pa., which de strojed about aiily suwee ami da c-iUn^e. . Among tho more flagrant assumptions of power by lunooln, is that of ordering elec tions tel bo held in portions of tho. State of Tennessee,, "Under tho dircetion of naval and military officers. By wlmt pretense this of der is ftsuedj no man can divine, save the necessity of getting voters in "Congress to meet and overcome tbo votes of members 'from tho loyal States. IVo bavo learned, by many a painful lesson, that the doctrine of necessity is applied without limit as to object or manner. ■ It is a fundamental principle of tbo party in' power, representing indeed but one-third •of the .voters at the Presidential Election,'but still in the place of power, to follow out tho doctrine of expediency—the higher law—and wliat so-forcible a plea as necessity? Tho object supremo—tho means of attaining it secondary", anil never important enough to bo regarded as an obstacle. Members of Congress arc necessary, in or der to tho support of tho Abolition party, and where are they to bo got? 'Tho British Constitution provides for that -necessity, in tho power, of "the monarch to create Peers members of tho House of Lords. The Constitution of the United States dpes not. Still necessity calls, and the expedient ds found ; a mandate is‘issued to the Military and Jfaval officers (tho civil power is a mere sham,) to order elections in tho portions of Tennessee where they I o’d possession, and to see that none are elected but, Ist, gentlemen; 2d, who will swear to support'tho Constitu tion, as old, not our present arbitrary Gov ernment, that is an after matter; and, 3d, who will not bo suspected of duplicity, in failing to do that which employed, to do. Surely, Lincoln does . not want any body in Congress who will support tho Con stitution,,as of old; there will bo too many of that kind.there already. Why go to tho conquered districts of Tennessee for more of them ? This is indeed one of the fearful consequent cos of having political power in the hands of men who.hold.that they.hare a, ‘higherlaw,’ a rule of conscience, above the law of God or man.. As well might Lincoln order elections under military and naval officers, with the host of Provost'.Marshals in Pennsylvania whoso duty it’should bo to have elected, gen tlemen who will swear to .anything, and do as they are hid. There is not a shadow, or even,a pretense, of Constitutional power for such an act. A Homan- Emperor constituted diis horse Consul, with Senatorial rank. It was absurd, but it was honest. The Philadelphia Evening Journal, thus speaks of this precious document: The President’s Message has been pub lished and.generally road. “ What do you ..think of it.?" every man asks his neighbor, and then both' break-out .into a laugh.' At first, it was regarded hy many as one of the President’s jokes. ■ We were as.ked by scores of people if what wo had printed as Mr. Lin coln’s Message,, was all really genuine whether wo hud,-“just for fun,” interpolated ' some of those BuusbyiSms and ridiculous sentences in it. “ Can it be possible," our interrogators would ask, “ that a President ■of tho-United SMiatas is' capable of putting iorfh snob stuff in-.a grave State paper ?" V “Yes,” wo replied, “it is quite possible. 1 when a man chosen by a jfarty which boasts of possessing.all the intelligence of the coun try is President." ■ But, evert our solemn assurance that we had printed'.the words of the document as they came to us; over the wires, scarcely convinc. d our astonished friends that wo'had not interpolated or. made serious mistakes in printing it. To convince us that we were’ wrong they would open the Journal, and read from the message suchßunsbyisiiis or axioms as the following;. “Certainly, it is not so easy to pay something as it istii pay miking —but it is easier to pay a large sum that it. is to pay a larger one, and it is easier to pay any sum when we are.able than it is to pay it before Wo are able 1" and determined to sat isfy ms that wo had misprinted the document, our anxious,inquirers. referred us todhe-olos-.. ing sentences of the message. These, they wore certain, wo had nlddod for the purpose of throwing ridicule upon that. extremely “ honest'-’ individual whose name is append ed to the document under consideration,— “ We, say wo are for the Union—the world will not forget that we say this. We know how to save-tho'Union. We-cf this Con gress and this Administration.]” The world knows wo know how to save it.” * “In giving freedom to the slave we’assure freedom to the free,” “ the world will ovor.applaud and Gob must forever bldss Abraham Lin coln 1” Serious fis the situation .of affairs is, and serious,as wo ought to he and feel, in refer ence to a message of the President at such, a time, we cannot bring ourselves to consider this document with seriousness. Its ridicu lous farcical character forbids. It is beneath dignified criticism; and like the broad farce that usually succeeds the saddest tragedy, it excites a laugh in spite of any tears of the previous moment. I'ho antics of an ape on, the roof of it burning house, Bred by its own mischief, could not bo more ludicrous than Mr. LiiicolrtV'cfforts to escape the damning consequences ot his own destructive policy; and while we deplore the threatened destruc tion of the noble fabric, wo cannot but smile at the comic distress of the unfortunately elevated animal, though it does so strongly resemble a man!

[From the Journal of Commerce.] Wo have heretofore had occasion to speak favorably of General Hal lock's military na pors, but it is impossible to place this document in that class. It sounds move like tho special plea of an ingenious lawyer than like the frank, soldiery statement of a milita ry man. Its suppressions of tho truth aro 11 too numerous to-mention," and its slurring statements of facts which ‘would redound to tho credit of general and other officers must strike the public with great surprise. ,Wo have indeed fallen on miserable times whou the Goneral-in ; Chiot addresses to tho War De partment a long, labored report of tho work of tho army, and oannot porauado himself into uttering a word of praise of any one, but proceeds to load each and every general suc cessively with insinuations of incapacity, if not with open charges of wrong. What can bo the ‘explanation of this ? Would it bo wrongdo book it in tho’facts sot forth by tho report itself? Wo think not. On examination wo find this report commen ces with tho call of General Ilallcok to the chief command of tho army and his immedi ate visit to tho Peninsula. Whether tho sudden elevation to position and power shook the intellect of the General, or whether jeal ously and ambition combined to make him suddenly incapable of correct judgment, of whether ho was indeed Unable to adviso in such terriblo clrcumstanees as:then environed tho army and tho capital, it does not fully appear.' But it does.appear that he slaked his military reputation at once against that of General M'Gkllan on tho propriety of evacu ating the Peninsula : and that ho lost the stake in tho terrible disasters which followed his awful error. The whole report of General ilalleek amounts ,to just this—“ I-said tho army must leave the Peninsula ; .General M’Clellan protested and said it would lead to disaster, lie was right. But it was not mv fault.” _ . Let us see if it was hot his fault. ■ " The (Inal ground on wlrcli General Ilalleek ordered General M’Glollan to leave the Pen insula is stated in his report to bn this— that .it teas impossible to furnish General McClellan ■ with, 30,000 fresh troops -required by him as reinforcements. General McClellan believed that if .those troops were furnished him Ilich mnnd mould 'bo 1 .taken,. But says, General Ilalleek : It was impossible to furnish them. Wo could 'give him 20,000.. Wo could not' give him 35,000. So we .ordered him to evacuate.. Wo pause astounded before the magnitude of this assertion. Impossible f Why, within six weeks from '.that fifth' day of August, Gen. Ilalleck’s strategy bad sacrificed more than thrity-fivb thousand of our troops'along ..the Virginia roads, on (bo bloody, banks of the Rapidan and Bull Run, on South Moun tain and Antietam-l Within .six weeks from,, that time, gallant now .regiments, fresh from home, had boon more than dcciinatcd-oli the fffiuyland,. battle , fields, to save the capital from-the disasters which this withdrawal’ ' from 1L Thirty-live thousand'. couKl not lie found to. reinforce tho Army of. the. Potomac and ensure the faking.of Richmond, when there wore at that instant in and around Washing ton not Joss than ninety .ihousaiid men, and within thirty days fresh; troops hy. the hundred thousand wore pouring down the. avenues.to the eapitol from' every portion, of land! ’ We know now document in all the Amcri; ban history more profoundly sad thaii that loiter of the gallant, M’Clellan from tlio point to which he.had so magnilicontly withdraW.ii Ida abandoned,eacrilieed army. In what splendor it'shines, as-wo look at' tho truths now presented .1 It will he read • hereafter' with evert deeper emotion than now; when other facts in connection witli.it come to be known, and'when this history as told hy an impartial pen, not by the pen of, ime . who seeks to establish Ills-own reputation at the expense of ’another nv.hd ho knows-will, remain silent always; except when hks country’s cause demands his- utterance. ’ln tho presence of this grand truth, tlmtOoneral riallock staked his military opinion against General .M’Clollaii’s; and, that -.the- result proved the latter-to have been correct and the former most awfully in error, it would seem unnecessary to review tho minor, points of the plea of General Ilalleok. But wo are compelled- to notice one of the main points, not-hitherto brought forward, namely: tlio. accusation that General M’Cletlan was too slow in leaving the Peninsula, and,tho charge 1 that Pope’s disasters were, to bo attributed to this delay.'' , Gen. llallock bore sinks the soldier entire ly in the special pleader. Ilia complaint would bo dismissed in any court ns absurdly frivolous. Does be know the weight of artillery, the stores, the suppljps, the immense trains that lay at Harrison's bar ? Probably ho does not. As in many other instances in this war, the newspapers must supply infor mation to the government officer..' Had Geii. Ilnlleok, in the hurry and confusion of his ■call to the chief command', and the immense responsibilities of those first few days devolved on him,--remembered his own slowness in. Western campaigns and paused long enough to consider the mere-question of the physical, 'labor to be performed at Harrison's Landing he would have hesitated before he wrote of the long delay of eleven days occupied in preparing to move an immense army, with the heaviest siege train ever used in the his tory of wars, in the face of an active, vigilant;, arid-immensely .superior enemy! ft is un worthy tho pen of an American soldier to underrate thus tho-achievements of tho great Army of the Potomac. General McClellan wrote on tho 4th,day of August that several days would ho necessary to prepare for the movement. He was then in his .position at Harrison’s Landing. ■ Mis siege train, by fai th© heaviest metal, ns wo recently showed, which had ever,been used, was in position. It-was to bo shipped and protected, and then tho groat supply trains, tbo vast accumula tions which had been so skilfully saved from, the campaign, were to bo got out-of the way, and finally tbo army was to bo moved to For tress Monroe. All this was accomplished, without loss, in the most able and satisfactoy manner. The highest praiao'iS due to all the officers and' soldiers concerned, but they receive no praise from Washington, On tho contrary, tho General-in-Chief growls at,their slowness and blames thorn for his own terri ble blunders (no less) in not knowing bow long it would take to move seventy thousand men and alKtheir guns .and supplies from a distant position before tho face of an enemy, some hundreds of miles by water and hind,, and throw them again into.tho field before tho sumo enemy. This brings us to tho arrival of Gen. M’Olol lan to Alexandria General Bollock does not venture to repeat or allude to the stories which gained such credence through tho col umns of tho radical papers, and which wore attributed to hint or his stall', that General M’Clelhcn refused to forward help to General Pope. On the contrary, it appears that de tachment after detachment of the army of General McClellan was ordered forward to Pope’s help as they landed, and thus General M’Clcllan was left without a command. But what shall bo said of the remarkable state ment of General tlallock that General Pupo woe .acting under his constant advice, and that it was.on his (flallock’s) responsibility that Pope was out on tho Rapidan, his lines extended and his position weak, and that tho only excuse for this is, that General llallock thought’lio would have up from tho Peninsu la the Army‘of the Potomac which was then facing the enemy and retiring with its im mense trains and artillery, before that enemy! On this contingency all was risked. Surely all this abundantlyjnstifloT tho ap prehensions of M’Clellan. If showed that precisely what bp considered tho .danger was . the ilnngor, and that Gon. ilalleok was not awako to it. Review tlio dates in this ex traordinary history; . > , , August 3—M’Olollan ordered to evacuate. August 4—M’Clolldn foresees disaster, pro tests, but obeys, staling that several days are necessary to'complete tho preparations for so important n movement.'" August. 3—“ About tliis time?' .General Ilallcek says ho received information .that, a largo force was preparing to drive Pope hack. Ho still orders M’Clollan to leave tire penin sula, thus enabling l/ie whole force of the enemy to bo hurled on Pope at once and without de lay. August 9—Banks fought at Cedar Moun tain,' ■ . August 14—General M’Clellan commences to evacuate Harrison’s Landing. August 16—Ifallook orders Pope to take a position in tho rear of tho Rappahannock; August 18 to 30 —Pope’s disasters, well known to history. September 4—Pope’s army returns to Wash ington. September 14—M’Clollan fights at South Mountain. September 10 and 17—Antietam. These six weeks comprise within their bourn tho events on which perhaps more than on any others tho war has depended for its re sults And its prospects. The .statement of Gon. llalleok to tho country is, that ho was right in ordering the retreat from the Ponim suhv, but that everybody blundered or delay ed or did 'something wrong, and that therefore tho awful consequences ensued. Tho answer to the statement is in the solemn prophecy , of Gon. M’Glellan, in his imploring demand for the lives of his bravo men and tho safety of the groat-cause ho had at heart, in the un exampled rnpidjty of his moveinonts with so groat ah army and such stores and guns, in tho sacrifice (tho responsibility of wnich it' now .appears Gon. Ifallock assumes) of the army under Pope, in thogotuim of 'M’Clollan ' to the command, tho rapid and glorious cam paign in-Maryland, the safety of tho capital' of tho nation, the deposition and now the grand attack on the deposed and silcrit gen eral around whom today the hearts of the nation fire, more closely gathered than around any man since. Washington. Wo-look with the imensest-priln on the po sition of our, government and its executive men at Washington. •' ft is hard, for an Amer ican do.bo ashamed of his magistrates and his soldiers, but-it is not fir one moment to. ho disputed that tho American people .to-day are ashamed of (ho management of the groat army of tho Union by oivilians.nt Washington aided by General .Uallock.
