Queen Victoria's Proclamation.
The Proclamation issued by the British Go
vernment, in the name of Queen Vicreara,
which we published yesterday, does not exact
ly meet our idea of what such a State docu
ment should be. It can scarcely be accepted
as satisfactory by the United States, and in
adequately represents the feelings and the
wishes of the British people. We have re
peatedly stated that these feelings and wishes
are altogether with the North, and against the
South. In Lancashire alone, the seat of the
Cotton Manufactures, there may be a leaning
towards the Secessionists—a leaning, not from
any conviction that truth and justice are with
theta, but from selfish and interested motives.
It mast be borne in mind that, even though
2,500,000 people are more or less dependent
on the Cotton Manufactory, these are not a
large number in a population of about thirty
one millions. Lancashire, were its wealth six
times what it nominally stands at, is not Eng
land—especially in sympathy with the Smith.
The Proclamation, as we read it, virtually
recognizes the Southern Confederation, even
while professing a desire to maintain cg a
strict and Impartial neutrality in the contest
between the said contending parties." This
is a very early, indeed an unusually early,
stage for the revolted States to be acknow.
ledged. When the Proclamation was issued,
the British Government knew nothing more
than Port Sumpter had fallen. Does that
establish the National Independence of the
rebel States 7 That triumph, such as it is,
seems likely to stand alone, now that the gal
lant and loyal troops, volunteer and regu
lar, of the United States are in action. The
coated now in progress is simply rebellion on
one side, while, on the other, it is an attempt,
which must prove successful, to suppress and
punish revolt. It is not like the <, Mutiny "
in India, where oppressed Provinces, which
once had been great Kingdoms, sought to
throw oil the yoke of a foreign Power. It
took England several mouths to put down that
"Mutiny," in which Revolt gained some
great victories—but the South, with the ex
ception °fits bloodless triumph at Fort Sump
ter, has yet gained nothing by Secession.
It is sheer &bawdily to acknowledge the
South, as the Proclamation really seems
to do.
The institutions of the United States, di
redly democratic, are not liked by the British
Aristocracy. AlmOst every member of the
Palmerston Cabinet has expressed antagonism
to the Ballot, and to other American institn
lions. But the British people have respect
and regard for their American friends and
brethren, and this, added to their strong anti
slavery convictions, will make them averse to
alliance with the South.
It is probable that the apparent meaning of
the expression 4‘ contending parties," (which
places the United States an a level with the
revolted States,) is capable of being explained
away. As it is, however, the Proclamation
will not give satisfaction here—because, even
while professing neutrality, it is not strictly
neutral. At the very least, the British people
tumid not side with the South. Ou the con
trary, if called upon to make a demonstration,
it would certainly be in fever of the Notth.
Heavy is the responsibility of a Cabinet pledg
ing the people to a policy which Viol - strongly
How Secession Works.
The ostensible purpose of the Southern con
spirators against the Federal Union is, the
better proteetten of slave property, although no
reflecting mind can, for a moment, believe
that this is the real object. How completely
such purpose, however, would be defeated, in
case of the actual and permanent separation of
the North and South, may be deduced from
the following circumstance, which occurred in
this vicinity within the last fortnight:
In one of the townships of Montgomei7
county, within ten miles of Philadelphia, re
sides a prominent and influential citizen, of
unimpeachable probity and high intelligence.
For more than thirty years he has taken an
active part in the politics of Pennsylvania,
and has been elected to important civil trusts,
municipal and legislative. During ail this
time, too, he has been a consistent Democrat,
and an untnareringfriend of the : , auth, battling
Manfully for all her vested constitutional
tights.
On a recent Sabbath afternoon, this well
tried and devoted friend of the South met, in
the immediate vicinity of his residence, a
colored man and his wife, both young and
athletic, clad in coarse homespun, and weary
with duet and travel. He interrogated them
as to whence they had come, when they
frankly admitted that they were fugitive slaves,
from the county of Prince George's, in Mary
]and, and that the intense war excitement had
afforded them an opportunity to escape, which
they had gladly embraced.

the Montgomery county Democrat.

Bit mouths ago the upright and conscien
tious Montgomery farmer, as he himself re
liglonsly affirms, would have lost not a mo
ment's time in imparting to the United States
Marshal intelligence of these fugitives from
labor, and had them returned to their mister.
But now, since the South is engaged in an
unholy crusade against the Union and the Go
vernment, he could not find it in his heart to
do anything of the sort. On the contrary, he

The Population of the South—Bond and
The sparseness of the population in the Se
cession district will detract greatly from their
military strength, and render the concentra
tion of large armies within their borders ex
ceedingly difficult. The eleven States of Ala.
bum, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Lanham,
Mississippi, berth Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia, which have
positively or conditionally allied themselves
with the Southern conspiracy, have a free
Population of 5,672,155, and their area is 667,-
828 square miles, which is an average of not
quite ton tree persons to each square mile of
territory. The free States, exclusive of Ore
gon, California, and Kansas, have a population
of 18,364,718, and the area of territory they
possess Is 542,144 square miles, indicating a
population of nearly thirty-four to every square
mile. While our territory is even less than that
of the rebellions States, our population is
nearly four times as great, and oar facilities
for concentrating troops are infinitely superior
to those of our antagonists.
We have not included, in this calculation,
California and Oregon upon the Pacific coast,
which will not only be able to protect them
selves against any assaults from the traitors,
but, if necessary, to render important assist
ance to the National cauee. Nor have we re
ferred to Kansas, nor the State of Delaware,
with its free population of 110,648, which is
undoubtedly loyal, nor to Kentucky, Maryland,
and Missouri, which, we trust, eontain a mfli.
dent number of Union men to more than
neutralize the Secessionists who reside within
their borders.
in the eleven rebel States to which we have
referred, about three•fiftbs of the whole popu
lation consists of slaves, and in two of them,
South Carolina and Mississippi, the number of
slaves actually exceeds the number of free
men. The most common dictates of prudence
will demand that a considerable white popu
lation should be constantly employed in keep
ing in check this dangerous elements of the
social orgardnation of the South'; and in this
way their, effective rotatory strength will be
very materially reduced. They will be singu
larly fortunate if they are enabled to prevent
servile insurrections and the stampede of thou
sands of those upon whose labor they have
hitherto relied for support.
Whatever may be the result of a few isolated
battles in the impending contest, it is evident
that the institution of slavery will necessarily
be seriously , endangered, not so much perhaps
by any instigations to revolt on the part of
Northern troops or Northern enticements to
escape, as on account of the natural and ine
vitable results of the disorders which the trai
tors have themselves created, and the oppor
tunities for escape and devastation which their
rash and foolish revolt has given to their
slaves- Despite all the precautions that may
be used, the negroes are still nearly as well
informed about the progress of events as
their muter., and the teachings of the ultra
Southern politicians have widely disseminated
false notions, which , are doubly destructive to
the peace and happiness of the people of the
South, because, while they have incited the
whites to revolt by the unfounded allegation
that if they did not secede a Republican ad
ministration would pave the way for the abo
lition of slavery, the publicity they have
given to that doctrine has filled the breasts
of the slaves with hopes that, however un
founded they may be, will constantly render
them restless and discontented, and thus
tend largely to bring about the very result
which it was the avowed object of the
rebellion to prevent The struggle for a
dissolution of the Union, instead of strength
ening the institution of slavery, is the
most effective and dangerous scheme that its
worst enemy could have invented for weaken.
log and destroying it. If the slaveholders
could conquer the prejudices which mislead
them, and clearly contemplate their own inte
rests, they would see that no portion of the
American people have a deeper stake in the
perpetuation of the Union than themselves,
and that even if they had no higher or better
interest at stake than the protection of the in
stitution to which they cling with so much
tenacity, their first and highest duty would be
to crush out and overthrow the demagogues
and traitors who have precipitated a conflict
against the National Government.
It is no part of the business of those who
are now in snail for the preservation of the
siactrAla' swe ilasa Inewre y 3o
make a special war against slavery, nor have
they, up to this time, in any manner, attempt
ad to do so, but the worst foes it has are
those who assume to be its special champions
and defenders, for they have inaugurated' a
condition of affairs utterly incompatible with
its security. Involuntary labor is a poor de
pendence in time of actual conflict, and States
which harbor within them a large population,
that by their position are necessarily render
ed covert, if not open enemies, are in the
worst possible position to encounter the shock
of arms, and resist the march of hostile forces.
A little more reason, and a little loss passion,
would have saved the South from what, if she
persists in this rebellious movement, will be
little short of absolute destruction. The
sooner she returns to a sense of her folly, and
the infamy of her leading traitors, the better

the immense defenidve resources of our city,
it would be deeidedly cruel, when Wialtan

shoot, stab, bang, or drown a solitary one of
them. He proposes as a much more humane
method of disposing of them, that they be

Rev Mr Ogden, of Missiselppi, took the floor
against the report of the committee reversing the
decision of the bynod in Judicial case No 4. The
question hoe arisen out of the election of a pastor,
Whether a prOfelgOr of religion who eontributee to
the support of the church is alone qualified to take
part in the eleodon of a pastor.
Mr. Ogden believed that none but members of
the Church should be allowed to vote. Me thought
that the committee transcended Its functions In
stating what should be the decision of the house.
It was the duty of a judicial committee simply to
say whether the papers were regular or pot.
Rev. Dr. Kennedy submitted the following:
Whereas, A difference of opinion and practice
has prevailed in the Otnirob.in regard to who are
qualified voters in the election of pactors There
tore,
Resolved, That the General Assembly is disposed
to leave each °hutch to aot in the premises ac•
*lording to the custom 'previously existing in mush

-IMM! with troth and order.
Dr. Kennedy said that snob a deliveranoe is
noosseary, as laws of Boma of the States mop:Lisa
as members which the Ohnroh does not.
The debate developed the fact that what ie a
rhumb member is not definitely understood.
Mr. Miller, of New Yolk, raid that if men eon
tributiz3g to the support of the Church were not
recognized as baying rights as voters . , many pastor.
would be deprived of their support. He thought
it beet that the question should sot be debated at
present. He entertained the view himself, and
the °Lurch oberter determine' who oonesitate the
members of the Church. The debate eontinued
until the hour for devotional exercises.

The secretary read the report as follow. :
MAJORITY. REPORT.
The Committee on the State of the Country and
the Duty of the Churoh tonohing the present
alarming °ride in our public affairs, respectfully
offer the following report, which wee adopted with
but one dissenting vote, and ordered to be cub•
misted to the General Assembly
Gratefully acknowledging the disilognished
bounty and care of Almighty God toward this
favored land, and also reoognising our obligation
to submit to every ordinance of men for the Lord's
sake, this General Assembly adopt the following
resolutions
Resolved, That in view of the present agitatid
and unhappy condition of thin country, Monday,
the first day of July next, be hereby set apart al
a day of prayer throughout our bounds, and that on
that day ministers and people are called on humbly
to empress and bewail our national sine, to offer our
thanks to the Father of rights for his abundant
and undeserved goodness to ne as a nation, to reek
His guiding and blessing upon our rulers and their
counsels, as well as upon the Conigress then about
to assemble, and implore MU te • the name of
Jenne Christ, the great High Priest of the Obrietlan
Prefeseelon, to turn away His anger from um and
speedily restore to as the blessings of a safe and
honorable peace.
Resolved, That the members of this General
Assembly, in the spirit of that Christian patriotism
which the Scripture§ enjoin, and erWah Les always
obareoterised this Cherish, do hereby acknowledge
and dealers their obligation, so far as in them lien,
to maintain the Constitution of them United Stake,
in the full exercise of all Its legitimate powers, to
preserve our beloved 17nIon ununpaired and to re
store its inestimable blesainga to every portion of
the land.
itsso/totei, That In the present dis treated eta.e
o f the sountry, this Assembly, representing the
whole Church, feel bound to abstain from any fur
ther declaration, In which all our th imeop re an d
members, faithful to the Constitution and stand
ards of the Church, might not be able, consoler'.
tlonaly and safely to join, and, therefore, oat of
regard, u well to the interests of our beloved
country as to those of the Church, the Alterably
adoptt this minute an the deliveranoe of the
Church.
Dr. Musgrave, in offering the report, made some
explanatory remarks. Dr. Spnng'e resolutions
had been modified and softened, so that, while the
Government of the Union wee endorsed, the anti
pathies of the out:11031M might not be directed
toward the Assembly and Southern Presbyters
TEM MINORITY 'IMPORT
Dr. Anderson referred to the unpleasantness of
being in a minority. Be read, as his minority re
port, the resolutions of Dr. Spring. with the single
alteration of the 4th, instead of the Ist, of July as
the day of prayer.
The report was accepted, and Dr. Anderson pro
ceeded to speak-
Be stated that the resolutions must meet the
crisis, and not be simple expressions of loyalty.
The majority report did not meet the ease It did
not satisfy the demands of the patriote of the
tsuntr,v, and was intended to shirk the mists and
its responsibilities. Its phraseology was weak,
and devoid of a firm, resolute, earnest patriotism.
It could not be compared with the manliness of
Dr. Spring's paper, and its sole aim was to pre
vent the Assembly from showing its hand and
coming nobly forward to the support of the
country.
Dr. Anderson proceeded to oompare the resole'.
