But when we come to the guaran tees. of future :peace which Congress moans to enact, the forms as \voiles the substance of the bill, must yield to the President's will that noie sho4ld be imposed. It was the bolemn resolve of Con gress to protect the loyal men of the nation against three greatdangers,(l) the return to power of the guilty leaders of the rebellion, (2) the con tinuance of slavery, and (3) the bur den of the rebel debt. CoilL;ress required assent to those Provisions by the Convention of the State ; and if refused, it was to be dissolved, The President "holds for naught" 'that resolve of Congress, because he Is unwilling "to be inflexibly commit ted to any ono plan of restoration" and the people of the United States are not to be allowed to protect ; them selvesunless their enemies agree to it. The order to proceed according to the bill is therefore merely at the will of the rebel States, and they have the option to reject it, accept the procla mation of the Bth of December, and demftnd the President's recognition ! Mark the contrast ! The bill requires a majority, the proclamation - - is satisfied with ono tenth ;"the. bill feqeires ono oath, the proclamation, - - 'another ; the bill ascertains voters by ' registering, the proclamation by guess : the bill exacts adherence to existing territorial limits, the procla mation admits of others ; the bill governs the rebel States by law, equal izing commits them to the lawless discre tion of military Governors and pro. vost marshal : the bill forbids elec tors for President, the proclamation and defeat of the bill threaten us with civil war for the admission or exclu sion of such votes : the bill exacted exclusion of dangerous enemies from - power and the relief of the nation from the rebel debt, and the prohibi tion of slavery forever, so that the suppression of the rebellion will dou. ' hie our rescources to bear or pay the ' national debt, free the masses from the old domination of the rebellend ers, and eradicate the cause of the ' war : the proclamation secures neith • er'of these guarantees. It, is silent respecting the rebel debt and the political exclusion .of rebel leaders; leaving slavery exactly where it was by law at the outbreak of the rebellion,-and adds no guaranty even of the freedom of the slaves he under- 1 t 14j ji. eakt...i. 4., er . ,,, aer.ei....ezi i.:,:d le out, z is to support ail procla matiobs of the President during the rebellion having reference to slaves. . Any Govern tent is to be accepted : at the hands of one tenth of the peo pie not contravening that oath. .Now that oath neither secures the .abolition of slavery nor adds security to the freedom of the slaves the Presi dont deeFared free. ' It does not secure the abolition of slavery ; for the proclamation of free• dom merely , professed to free certain slaves while it recognized the institu tion, Every Constitution of the rebel States at the outbreak of the rebel lion may be adopted without the change of a letter ; for none of them contravene the proclamation ;.ezeine of them establish slavery. --. il It adds no cority to the freedom') of the slay x. ie For their t lei is the proclamation of freedom, - It' it be unconstitutional an oath "to support it is void. Whether constitu tional or not, the oath is without au thority of law, and therefore void. If it be valid and observed, it eX acts no enactment by the State,`eith er in law or Constitution, to add a Stateguaranty to the proclamation M. tie ; and the right of a slave to free dom is an open question before the State courts on the relative authori ty of the State law and the procla mation. If the oath binds the one-tenth teho take it it is not exacted of the other nine-ten tha who succeed to the control of the State' Government so (bat it is annulled instantly by the art of recognition. What the State courts would 'say of the proclamation, who can doubt? But the master would not go into court—he would seize his slave. What the Supreme Court would say, who can tell ? When and how is the question to {;et, there ? No habeas corpus, lies for him in a United States court, and the Presi• dent defeated with this bill its exten sion of that writ to this ease. Such are the fruits of this rash and fatal act of the Presiclent rr a blew at the friends of his Administration, at the rights of humanity and at the" principles of republican government. The President has greatly presum ed on the forbearance which the sup porters of his administration bine so long practiced, in view of the ardu ous conflict in which we are engaged, and the reckless ferocity of our politi cal opponents. But he must understand that our support is of a cause and not of a man ; that• the authority of 'Congress is paramount and must be-respected; that the whole body .0f the Union men of Congress will not submit to be impeached by him of rash and uncon stitutional legislation ; - and if he wish, es our support, he must confine him self to his executive duties—to obey and execute, not make the laws--to suppreass by arms armed rebellion, and leave Political ro•organization to Congress. It the supprters of the Govern ment fail to insist on this they be come responsible for the usurpation which they fail to rebuke, and are justly liable to the indignation of the people whose rights and security, committed to their keeping, they sacrifice. Let them consider the remedy for these usurpations, and, having found it, fearlessly execute it. B. F. WADE Chairman Senate Committee. H.

On Mednesdayitlast the Confederate ar my was massed at-Charlestown, six miles southwest of Harper's Ferry.— Sbnridan's trooops were posted on a range of highlands at Halltown, four miles from Harper's Ferry. These highlands tlfey had fortified, and the works presented so , formidable an ap. :pearance that Early did. not ateack them. He had been idle during the earlier part of the- we'ek;.but on Wed nesday .night • began a MOVerckent a -round Sheridan's works. Sheridan' "did , not discover it until late on Thurs day. Early 'kept a force at Charles town in front of 'Sheridan but on Thursday morning .his main , body had started northivest towards Mar tinsburg. A 'Federal cavalry` force was at Kearneysville, between Mar tinsbnrg and Harper's Ferry, and en countered the enemy. The cavalry 'prudently retreated, and it appears that the Confederate column turned' northward at Kearneysville, and pass:- ing east of IMartinstierg, was' march ing towards the Potomac, above Shep herdstown. There has been a great deal of skirmishing between Early and Sheridan since Wednesday ; and a4 4 lederal retreat to Harper's Ferry, caused by this flank movement, will now probably occur. Besides advancing his main force towards the Potomac at Shepherds tew, Early detached a small body of •cavalry towards Willianisport. These troops at once drew the attention of all the Federal cavalry, and Averell. at Williamsport; prepared to attael, hem. Custer, who had 'been at Shev herdstown, crossed to the south side of the Potomac and marched toWards Martinsburg, to intercept the retreat of the Confederate - cavalry. The 'Confederates aPpeared at Williams port and were repulsed with a loss of seventy prisoners. Custer, however, was cut off by the.main body of the enemy marching en bepherdstown. lie was surrounded andhad to fight his way out, with a loss of one hun• dred and fifty men. Sheridan in his various skirmishes has lost nearly five huudred men. Early will no doubt cross the Potoame at Shop herdstowri-, and Sheridan must with-' draw to the Maryland side to oppose him.

Agei, THE SEVEN-THIRTIES-WHAT ARE THEY We trust that a large portion of our readers have pondered the Appeal of Mr. Fessendert, our new Secretary of the Treasury. The purport of it is that the People of the United States, noting as .a body through their agent the Government, wish individuals to lend them two hundred mil lions of dollars for three years, at seven and three-tenths per cent. annual interest, payable every-six months. For this they offer Treasury Notes—that is, in reality, notes' drawn and en dorsed by every man in the country. The loan is wanted for a great national purpose, to effect which every man, unless he be a traitor at heart if not is act, is solemnly pledged. The : Appeal is addressed not 'merely to a few great Capitalists, but also' to tbe.many Whose ag gregate : mean s constitute the mass of the' wealth of the land. The notes' upon which this loan is asked aro from $5O upward. Every man who has fifty dollars can 'take part in this Apart from patriiiiistii - end the duly witinh all It is secure. Every dollar of every man's property is pledged for the punctual payment of the intereSt, and o f the debt when due. The so. curity.iaincroasing in vltlue. For some years before the war we wore earn ;41000 millions a year more than we spent. Auring: the three years of the war, owing to: the • high,'Prices .and constant demand fur labor, we have earned snore than ever before. -No man who could or would work has been, idle,; and, except for • the track we have spent : loss than before. The total valtiaion of the property of the United States, according to the census of 1380, was $16,189,000,000, of - •which $10,05i046,956 was in the, toyalStates.. This tMluatien, according to the usual rule of as sessment,'not mare than twt-thirds of the actual eaik value 9f the properti. The increase of properli in the Loyal Statei during the last ten years' was: over 126 per cent., c.; an' aye:fags of 12 6-10 per ' cen't, per annum., In three - years of the war we'of the United States have certainly earned 3000 millions more than we the spent apart from the War. The cost- of the Wili'may. be set down at 2000 millions.
