'THE AMNESTY PROCLAMATION.
The President properly withheld his re
cent Amnesty Proclamation until the last
rebel army had surrendered, and clemency
ltad 'been extended towards those citizens
of the North. who were guilty of Minor
offences against military laws. It was
IF:Eued at a time when the people of the
south were fully prepared to accept it as a
2• al boon. In the strict eye of the law all
eAcept known loyalists were subject to
:yvere pains and penalties, and great un
witless wag felt in regard to the extent of
zbeir enforcement. No sensible man unites
is a desperate warfare against an establish
ed government without knowing that
lie provokes a death-struggle. Those
who play for crowns in revolu
tionary movements stake their heads ;
and those who are fired with a determina
tion to destroy the political system of a
great country must expect to encounter
pereonal perils equal to the dangers their
treasonable turbulence creates. This was
well understood by our ancestors in the
Revolution. When the Declaration of In
dependence was signed, the remarks which
the immortal fifty-six made about their
probable fate were not wanting in sincerity
and truthfulness because they were ex
pressed in jocular terms. They solemnly
pledged their " lives" to the cause of
American Independence, in full view of
the fact that nothing but success could in
sure their safety, and that the defeat of
their holy aim would inevitably involve
their condemnation and execution by
GEORGE 111. as attainted traitors.
By our laws, all citizens who levy war
against the Union, are guilty of treason,
and punishable with death. We have tri
umphed against the most fearful rebellion
that ever was organized, and its adherents
were only conquered after their available
means of resistance had been thoroughly
\overcome. It only remained for us to de
fide how far justice should be tempered
Ivith mercy ; and this question is liberally
generously solved by the amnesty proc
amation, which has followed the magnan
mous terms given by our commanding
enerals to their vanquished antagonists.
It will be remembered, that soon after
the commencement of the war, the custom
Was inaugurated of administering oaths of
allegiance to rebel prisoners and sympa
thizers, with a view to their reformation;
but this generosity was treated as a sign of
weakness, and only encouraged new at
tacks from the recipients of its bounty.
Now, however, the privilege of taking the
oath prescribed by ANDREW JOHNSON is
appreciated. The power to secure im
munity for past misdeeds which it offers,
is highly prized, for it is the only sure
method of obtaining the remission of penal
ties of confiscation, imprisonment, and
death, 'which lave been legally incurred,
and against which all armed resistance
has proved unavailing.
The gates of mercy have been widely
opened. Virtually, we have said to all the
people of the disloyal States, except a few
thousands, you are forgiven— go and sin
no more. You have forfeited your lives—
we yield them back in the hope that you
Will strive to retrieve past errors. You
have forfeited your property, but we will
Dot take it, for we wish you to become
prosperous as well as loyal citizens.
The process by which the masses can
tuts free themselves from punishment and
reclaim their proud birthright as American
citizens is very simple. They have only to
take and subscribe to the following oath :
4 , I do solemnly swear or affirm, in the presence of
Almighty God, that I will henceforth faithfully sup.
port, protect, and defend the Constitution of the
United States and the Union of the States there
under, and that I will, in like manner, abide by and
falatturly support all laws and proclamations which
have been made during the existing Rebellion with
reference to the emancipation of slaves. So help me
GOd."
It is evidently not intended, however,
that this oath shall be a hollow mockery.
It is to be " registered for permanent pre
servation," and men cannot hope to break
it with impunity. It partakes of the na
ture of a compact. The Government
sheaths the sword of justice, and promises
protection—but the objects of its mercy
give in return a solemn guarantee of future
obedience and support. The nation is in
no mood to be trifled with. It wishes to be
generous, but it dares to be just, and there
is a.linait to its good nature, beyond which
lies a fearful chasm of vindictiveness.
The prominent traitors are all debarred
from the privileges of the Amnesty Procla
mation. The fourteen excepted classes
embrace nearly every man who aided "to
fire the Southern heart," unless it be the
editors and preachers, who could not with
propriety be enumerated. The office-hold
era of the Confederacy ; their military and
naval commanders of high rank; the men
who abandoned judicial, congressional,
and martial positions to aid the rebellion ;
the students at West Point and the Naval
Academy ; the miscreants who maltreated
Union soldiers when they were held as
prisoners of war ; the Canada raiders and
the ocean pirates ; those who have violated
oaths of amnesty ; and the voluntary rebels
whose taxable property exceeds in value
twenty thousand dollars, are all prohibi
ted from regaining their old position by
the short and easy method which is availa
ble to the masses of their. countrymen.
They are assured, however, that on " spe
cial application" such "elemeticy will be
liberally extended as may he consistent
with the facts of the case and the peace and
dignity of the United States." It is clear
that nobody is to be punished who does not
richly deserve it. But the President never
theless wisely withholds the purification of
pardon from all the notorious and specially
active and dangerous enemies of, our coun
try. Their fate will depend upon their
good behavior; but a readiness to forgive
these who affoid sincere proofs of contrition
and of good intentions is indicated by the
promise of clemency.
It is of the highest importance to the
American people that the power of our
civil law against- treason should be vindi
cated. We have demonstrated our capacity
to suppress a gigantic rebellion by force of
arms. But that process is very difficult
and expensive. If our laws are properly
framed and vigorously executed we should
have the power to kill treason in the bud ;
a small force should be able to arrest and a
just Judge should be able to punish traitors
as readily as ordinary rioters. The ap
proaching trial of JEFFERSON DAVIS will
shout whether the interests of the nation
can be protected in her own courts. We
are bound by the iTsj unetiMl of our statute
book and by every inqinct of self.preserva
tion, to enforce our laws . against a crime
Nvhich has caused such a fearful expendi-
lure of treasure and loss of life. It is wise
and proper that, fcr the present, the guiltiest
Of the guilty should be held subject to the
penalties and punishments they have defied
and deserved.

Again we ware not to be hold back by any obsta ,

secured all the main arteries of life to our enemy,
and Christmas found ns at Savannah.
Waiting there only Mug enough to fill our wagons,
we again began our march, which for peril, labor,
and results will compare with any ever made by an
organized army; the floods of the Savannah, the

Even then we paused only bug enough to get
new clothing, to reload our wagons, and again
pushed on to Raleigh, and beyond, until we met
our enemy seeing for peace instead of war, and
offering to submit to the Injured laws of his andi our
country—as long as that enemy war defiant, nor
mountains, nor rivers, nor swamps, nor hunger, nor

How far the operations of the army have contri

Abraham Lincoln Lamented by a Great People

A MONUMENT TO HIS MEMORY,
Never, in the history of Philadelphia, has there
been such a general or appropriate observance of a
national fast day, than was noticed yesterday
throughout our city. Business was entirely ens
petled. 4.11 places of business were closed during
the day. There was preaching in all the churches
In the morning, and all the sermons preached wore
in reference to,tho life, public cervices, and /aments
ble death of our late President, Abraham Lincoln.
The churches were all wall filled, and the audiences
evinced much Interest in the discourses presented.
The invitation of the Committee of the Lincoln
Idcnument Fund, asking that a collection be taken
to the several churches, for the purpose of raising a
monument to the memory of our late chief magis
trate, was read. In accordance with the invitation,
collections were taken up, and, we have been In
formed, liberal contributions were made. It is hoped
that enough was collected yesterday to Insure the
erection or a monument creditable to our city and
wathy of the greet man whose memory it ti intend
ed to perpetuate. During the afternoon the rural
places of resort were crowded to excess, but the
best of order prevailed, All seemed impressed. with
the solemnity or the occasion and the object of the

Wllist human experience teaches us that the

It is the death of the President of these United

now rests in the still and quiet grave. The groat
mind has ceased to think, and the good heart no

Such an event calls for the outward expression of
sorrow. It is one of those visitations of Diviue

Therefore are we before the throne of God in the

then bad he died, we might heve felt that he
had lived to attain the summit or human am
bition. But, alas ihe fell—by the hand of aoe Ward
ly assassin did ho fall—ere he saw the great end and
object Of his desires aceomplishod. It is tree lie
beheld the dying View's of the great monster With
Which, for four years, he fought with suchunrivalled
bravery. He heard its cries Of approaching disso
lution, but he himself was wrapped around in its
dying Contortions, and Its last act of venomous
vitality was to strike its poisoned fang Into hie
own great and noble heart. It was sad to die
So. It awakens a sorrow on our part the more
intense because we are rejoicing in the grand re.
suit of labors that demanded of him such terrible
sacrifices atd such mighty efforts.
But again : The grief of the nation is ren
dered the mono Intense se we contemplate the
mode of the late President's death. He died
not by the direct, visitation oil the Divine
hand. He fell not as most men fall, under
the power of some deadly disease. No mourning
friends were permitted to gather around his couch,
With their hind and gentle ministrations assuaging
the agony of departure, The Pation• Cherishes no
dying testimony breathed upon the bed of death
for its emaciation or instruction. Bat Abra.
ham Lincoln, the good, the wise, and the toe
ing, fell, as traitors ought to fall, or as the fierce
beast of the jungle rally by the spec ballot of the
firearm. Lie died by the hand of a ruthless, heart'
less, and wicked assassin, one who had long been
educating for such an act of cowardly violence by a
keg course of licentious indulgence anti dissipation.
Were this the whole of the story, it ware sad enough
to Make us all weep. To individual malignity for
tome fancied wrong, we might thus trace, the assas
sination of oven so good a man as Abraham Lin
coln. To the malignant promptings of a disorder
ed braiti we might trace the death Mitts wisest and
the greatest. For as the light that falls into the •
deep recesses of idol temples becomes but
the reflection et the hideous and grim monsters
whom superstition has adorned and deified, so, also,
all characters, however brilliant and pure, become
colored in the conception of the erased brain. And
a maniac may regard himself a hero when he simply
is an assassin, and denominate his work of deals
the act of human emancipation, when it was but
the bereavement of a nation that elethed It in
Mourning. But, else, no suchinterprotation can be
given to that deed that laid our great lather is
his blood. No private wrong 5170.3 to be redressed.
No deranged brain guided the hand that Steadi
ly pointed the weapon for hid deetruotion. No
scheme of murder could have been more tho
roughly Canvassed. It was planned with dia
bolical coolness and premedication. Abundant
and Irrefutable evidence has fastened Itself upon
the public mind, that the assassin was but the ageat
of others. His act was not that of a man in the
heat of passion, bat of one who deliberately and
coolly, in obedience to his vile employers, went
calmly to work to secure the victim whose death de
feated treason, and baffled rebellion demanded. It
is this that makes us mourn today. It Is the first
act of assessieation which has stained the poli
tical record of our country. Heretofore, whatever
may have been the complaints of wrong endured
by factions and parties, our people nave,
calmly awaited the popular decision at the
ballot-boa to find It redressed. That hero in this '
stance the appeal was made to the hand of the am
seesin—Coolly, deliberately mado—made, too, by a
fallen tyranny, without even the hope of beneht
thereby; only to gratify the malignity of the sub
dued tied conquered. Surely this is terrible. And
because this dark deed has boon enacted within our
own borders, it drives us to the mercy-seat, weeping
and preying.
But there is still a deeper and a darker side to
this platens of horrors, that adds to Our grief.
.It was no foreign foe that sought the Mance
Mon tf cur great and good National Fattarr.
The scheme of murder, the teem of assasslea
bon was born and nurtured to Its names maturity
in American brains. The conception of the
grand villainy, whose intention Was to rob not only
the nation of its rresident, but the various (repeat
ments of State of their several heads by a wholesale
murder, was evidently the result of "the planning
and scheming of men in council who were born un
der the benign Ihflaellee?, of cur national institu
tions—edueated in many instances at the eublio ex
pense—men who had been honored with positions
of trust and responsibility under our Govern
ment. It is this that malice us mourn. It
is as If we stood beside the dead body of a
loving and generous father, and as we pointed to
the ghastly wound from whence the life blood
gushed end tented from the warn nod faithful
heart, we were lensed to exclaim brother
struck this blow," and the blood that stained tee
hand of the heartless parricide wee the blood of a
fattier. It Is this which gives poigintuoy to our Oaf
'tering, and loaves, we feel, a deep stain on our
national character. But, thanks be to God, we heve
a solution for all this mystery which will wipe out
and remove the blot. The men who coneeived
and secured the final execution cf this dia
bolical plot were brought up under the institc
tion of slavery—a crime against man and a
sin against God, which has made its 400.000
rmit= a proud and licentious: aristocracy ;
an institution that degrades the working man and
artisan, and gives to birth more honor than to skill,
talent, industry, or virtue. • Is it strange that such
men, pampered by the sweat and blood of down

crime? Is it more enormous than the advocacy of

pass, that at Lao still and solemn hoar or midnight,
when the inhabitants were wrapt in quiet and nn
suspecting repose, with the suddenness of thought

fatal epidemical disease ; parsed over Egypt's plains
and cities, and smote In overt' house the hrst•born,
from the drst•born of Pintroals that sat on his throw)
to the first-born of the captive that was in the dun
geon. In all Egypt there was not a house In which
there was not one dead, and this caused ark
nat
versal wail of sorrow.
Death has, likewise, been the producing Cause of
the wall of woe that has echoed throughout our
collate. By the removal of bat one man, the grim
Messenger has yet, as It were, come up to the door
of every house, and entered in at every window.
The President of the United States, in a sense, is
the of the nation, and when he falls the shock
Is felt from the centre of the land to all its vast cir
cumference.
The war „itself, blessed ba God, le over. Our
country's ion and painful agony is past. What
many feared never could be accomplished, and
others openly declared an impoosiblitty, is aoaom•
plashed, is a fact, potent and palpable to the Senses.
Gladly would we, if we mild, erase the horrible
events of the past four years from the world's his
toric annals. The rebellion, we all know, was
directed and maintained by the hugest conceivable
combinations, and prosecuted by means the most
nefarious—such as causes humanity to weep and
virtuous modesty to blush. The retrospect fills us
with amazement, that from such a stupendous con
spiracy we have found deliverance at all. That
deliverance we never could or would have found had
not God been with us.
In view of the Beppression of the rebeltion—the
Arent of the areletiOnepirator and many of his co.
workers in Iniquity, and the dispersion of the rebsl
armies—sorvicts of Thanltsgtvina might have edam
ed mote appropilate. <Eveu now, our mercies and
our chastisements follow each other so closely, that
it Is eifecult to discern where the one class ends and
the other class begins.
Of the assassination of Mr. Lincoln we have al
ready spoken. In the first gash of outraged feeling,
we anethereedized it as a crime against nature and
against the majesty of high Henvez—a deed of atro
city, so Wadi', that frnin it even the are.h.fiends et
bell might be supposed to recoil. Since then the M.
vilized world has Had time to pronounce its verdict,
and It is in significant ancOrdanee with that which
gushed so Spontaneously from our every heart. &t
118 contemplation, not only Europe, but peoples Of
every maim end tongue, staled aghast with horror.
Ey the stern logic of lime, and the Imperial de.
ram stration of events. the character of Mr. Intecsle
has been vindicated of that of d' wise Magistrate,
an unselfish Patelot, a merciful Judge, an honest
Man. Esdowed by nature and by early allotments
with a mos, felicitous combination of personal quain
ties, such men are rarely revealed to us or to the
world. An example In his social and public Inter
amine to those born to station, he has taught them
to abate their stupid pride. A still brighter example
to those who win it for themselves, he has taught
teem by his unaffected simplicity not to forget, in
tear mil talon the pit whence they wore dug—the
rock whence they were hewn. Frowning on none,

predict, pilgrimages from all parts of the earth will
be made to his tomb to bedew it with tears and plant
en it sweet memorials or affection.

The speaker contrasted the character of Mr. Lin

humane, Inclined to pardon, and never remembering
the bard things said against him. Such a character
awakened instinctively the sympathy of the people.
They saw his fellow feeling with them, and bolt the
kinship. With him as President the idea of Repub
lican inetitutions, where no place le too high for the
humblest, was perpetually manifest, eo that his
simple presence was like a Proclamation of the
Equality of all men. His humor has also become a
proverb. He insisted sometimes that ho had no in.
ventlon, but only a memory. He did not forgot the
good things that he heard, and was never without
a familiar story to illustrate his moaning. When
he spoke the recent West seemed to vie with the an

modesty of his nature desert him. And thus with
equal courage in the darkest hours he continued
cn, heeding as little the warnings of danger as the
temptations of power. "It would not do for a
President," ho to have guards with drawn
sabres at his door, as if ho fancied he were, or
ware trying to be, or were assuming to be an
emperor." When he became President he
was 'without any considerable experience in
public affairs; nor was he much versed in
history, whose lessons would have been most
valuable. As he became more familiar with the
place his facility evidently increased. Eat his
mablts of business were irregular, and they were
never those of cespatoh. He did DOD see at ones
the JOG proportions of things, and all...wed himself
to be too muck occupied by details. Even in small
things, as well as in great, there was in him a cer
tain resistance to be overcome. There were mo
ments when this delay caused impatience, and ha
portant questions seemed to suffer. But when the
blow wee struck there was nothing but gratitude,
and all contested the eingleness with which he had
sought the public good. Them was also a °envie.

In the statement of moral truth and the exposure

Perhaps his courage to apply truth was not always
equal to his clef/mese In seeing it. Perhaps Um

I old that the soul can gain heights which it cannot
keep? Thus, even while blasting slavery, he Still
wailed, till many feared that his judgment would
e lose the name of action." Thus, even while
vindicating the equality of all men against
the assaults of one of the ablest debaters of
the country, and insisting, with admirable
constancy, that colored persons were embraced,
wlthie the promises of the Declaration of indepen
dence, he yet allowed himself to be pressed by his
adversary to an illogical limitation of this self-eva
dent tinth, so that colored persons might be ex
eluded from polftleal rights. But he was at all
times welling to learn and not ashamed to change.
Before death he lied already expressed his desire
that the suffrage Should be extendea to
cooired persons in certain Cases; but here
again he failed to apply that very principle of
equality for which he so often contended, if the
ventage be given to colored persons only In certain
cacao, then, of course, it can be given to whites only
in the same Cases, or equality owes to exist. It was
has own rrank confession that he had not Controlled
events, but that they had controlled him. At all
the great stages of the war, he followed rather than
led. The people, under God, were masters.

treatment of the rebel leaders. Hie policy was

char:tont Dir the th 'famous ex. deity of the derniquOnde,
Celeste Illogador, whose beauty and blandishments
game years ago, Seduced the representative of an
ancient and wealthy family into marrying her, and
became Countess de Cho brills& It seems that the
fair Celeste had been driven beside herself with
jealousy of the fame-of Theresa; and being now a
widow, determined to oome out in a " Singing Cafe,"
partly to vent her spite on the family of her late
husband, all of whom went Into deep mourning on
the day When he married her, as though he, were
dead, Tellealleed all communiesition with h i d and
ignored the existence ol his wife. Fora fortnWAt be.
fore her appearance the streets were placarded with
posters, setting forth the approaching performances
of "Mademoiselle Celestine Illogador, Countess do
Ohabrillikhe at the new and splendid Cafe of the
Nineteenth. Century," The Parisians would have
been in nowise scandalized If the lady considering
her antecedents, had returned to her old profession,
under her old designation, but this malicious drag
ging of an honorable name into the very dubious
region of a Paris ooffee-roonn, was considered as "re

appearance on the singe of the crowded oefe, the
