Thus it is clearly seen that the President’s
emancipation proclamation, ridiculed by . the
sympathizers with Secession .in the North, is
not accepted as an agreeable’joke by the Seces
sionists of the' South. They do not receive it
as a mere-bread-pill, but regard it with the se
rious face of a patiept who finds before him a
nauseous .and up palpi table dose.- They legis
late against it, they'speak against it, and tl)ey
threaten against it. ' Taking up the key of Mr.
Frank W.‘ Hughes and Mr. Seymour, they be
wail it as an attempt to incite servile insurrec
tion among their One grave ;
suggests that a new statute should'be passed,
enforcing heavy penalties for insubordination
among the ] Another advises that they
should be sept to tbej remote Gulf States,, and
all soem to .concur inputting to death anybody
in the South Who attempts “to give effect to the
fiendish purposes of this proclamation.” Sev
eral thoughts arise to the reflecting mind on
reading these angry-lamentations. Wo have
been told that the slaves of the South were so
attached to their masters that nothing would
induce them to rise,’and yet nil rebeldom is
thrown into agonies by that which is denounced
and laughed at as a paper proclamation among '
the sympathizers. There is a .very easy mode I
of anticipating and putting down anything like
servile insurrection in the South, and Mr. Lin- ;
coin offers it in his proclamation. Let them ;
yield to the authority they defy, lay down their |
arms, and pome hack into the Union as repent- ;
snt and submissive sinners, deliver op their
leaders, and they can have and hold their slaves
uninterruptedly. They have timely notice, and
if they do not act upon it, it will be their own
fault. In any event, the emancipation medi
cine is working well. . J

which to win votes. ~It was, with bimadeep,

be saw. it adopted' of the principles bf, a'
great National party; and finally under the
sanction of that party h$ saw this bis, early :
conviction become a fixed ■ fact' established by
law. ; "
Besides hla devotion to the ..interest's of the
poor industrious citizen! be has ever been the
determined- and-unalterable friend of Freedom.
His opposition to' hrfhfan 'slavery was a natural
sequence of' his devotion to : fiee homesteads
for all; for if .the poor have a right to a portion
of the national domain, have not all men-the
right to the entire fruits of their labor? He
who'answers one of these’propositions affirms--
lively, must, to be consistent, afso answer the
other affirmatively. And this is why every
Northern roan voted for the passage .of the
Homestead Law, and every slave holder, voted
against it. ;
Although Mr. Grow is defeated for Congress,
be is not politically dead and buried, as the
pro-slavery politicians and newspapers would
fain Batter themselves. . The causes which pro
duced bis defeat-will nut always exist, and we
hope fo see hith take his place again in the
councils of the nation, where his knowledge of
public affairs will be bf benefit to his constitu:

lic career be, now ended, which indeed on ac
count of bis ill health is not improbable, bis
name wilt be handed-down in history among
those who have attempted to benefit the white
race without binding still.tigbter.the -chains of

names of the freedom-bating political place

shall be buried in oblivion.

OPINION ON THE FHOCIiAIIATION,

an agonized burstof fear are the best answers
one can have of a man’s cowardice when one
challenges bis courage or tests his endurance.
Such is the response that greets the Proclama
tion of Emancipation from the South. Thctone
i« uniform; every paper yet received clasps its
editorial hands in supplication, or, with a=sec
ond glance at the unyielding document, shakes
its editorial fists in fear-born .defiance. That
we arc not overstating the fact will appear by
out extracts from the Southern press; and still
more from the circumstances of snob articles
appearing at all. It is- well known (bat the
newspapers of the Sooth: are.. under the same
despotic management that forces the' whole
available population into the ‘ run kaj;they are
generally nothing mure than wily instruments
in the bands of the rebel Government to deceive
its owh people in regard to its political inten
tion*, and-ns in regard to its military movement*.

We give below a opinions on this subject
of men whose character and judgment carry
some weight
—Parson Brewnlow, in his address at the
Michigan State Fair, in Detroit, said: Regard
ing Mr. Lincoln’s proclamation, 1 will say, that
if be means to free the slaves of rebels in arms,
and pay the loyal mem for them, I am for it, out
and out. [Enthusiastic applause.} I think the
proclamation well timed, and fortunate at this
moment. If it had been made a month or six
weeks later, the rebels would have made a prop
osition themselves to England to take their ne
groes and colonize them, and I thank God that
Old Aba baa takep the starch out of them.-*-

—Col. F. A. Eastman, in a letter to the Editor
of-the Chicago Tribune, details a conversation
with the venerable Geieral Casa, which wo ap
pend :
“ ‘I told Gen. Casa that I had always admired
and supported him as a Democrat, but perhaps
he would not regard me as a Democrat now, as
I liad pledged my support to the present officers
of the Government, and to all the war mea
sures.’ He replied, ‘Yjou are right. The Gov
ernment is right. You young men must sus
tain it.’ Invited-thus to continue the conver
sation, I said, ‘But I approve of the emanoipa
pation proclamation, and all-’ The old patriot
responded promptly, ‘So do 1/ After a few
minutes spent in conversation upon general
topics, he came backtoMhe proclamation again.
He observed that whether or not the President
had the Constitutional? right to declare the
slaves free, the President’s friends did not
strengthen the measure by claiming it to be
constitutional. ‘I do not deny,’ he said, ‘that
there is that in the Constitution to justify the
act; but the circumstances of the country
clearly justify it.’ He slid not fear its effect in
the South ; he only hoped it would prove effect
ual. He could not understand bow any old
Democrat could have any sympathy with the
South, and he hoped thjat if there are any per
sons in the North who. ever consented to a sep
aration, they would not be permitted to have
any position or influence."

—Gen. Prentiss lately released from a rebel
prison, expresses himself in private even more
strongly tban In public as regards the effect of
the Proclamation upon the Union prisoners.-
Every mah, he says, including the slaveboldihg
officers of the Missouri .regiments, welcomed
the President’s edict of!freedom as the door to
victory. Their criticism upon- it was that it
ratber tagged behind, than outrifn the necessi
ties of the times. They would have had the
emancipation' general, find the decree immedi
ate. The effect of the Proclamation upon the
South was unmistakable. The Rebels, it* all
their conversation, alluded to.it in a manner in
dicating that it was the one thing dreaded. The
negroes were being driven, into the interior for
safety.. At Petersburg, large numbers were
congregated, a thousand in one pen, crowded
together like cattle in the shambles. The at
mosphere of the stteeufwas charged with tbk
odor of this sickepipg mass of humanity,
—Ool A. K..McClure, of Cbumbersburg, Pu.,
who was charged by his 1 fellow citizens with tbs
duty of making terms with the rebel cavalry on
the occasion of their recent raid to that place,
had: a good many of them to coffee in bis bouse

THE WAE HEWS'. ’ ‘
We have a brief accoViit of another battle.at
Pea Ridge, in Arkansas, resulting in.the defeat
of the Rebels. Gen. Curtis, telegraphs officially
that Gen Schofield; finding that the enemy had
encamped at Pea-Ridge, sent Gen: Blunt With
the first division westward, and moved toward
Huntsville with therreSt of his, forces. Gen.
Blunt, by making a bard night’s march, reached
and attacked the Rebel force at Maysville, on
the morning of .the 22d. The enemy were es
timated at from 5,000 to 7,000 strong,' The en
gagement lasted an hour, and resulted in the
total route of the enemy, with the loss of his
artillery, a battery of sis-pounders, a large
number of horses, and a portion of their trans
portation and garrison eqoipmcnts. ■ Our cav
alry and light howitzers were still m .pursuit of
their scattered forces when the messenger left.
Our loss was smalj.. R.en. Schofield pursued
Gen. Hindman beyond Huntsville, coming close
upon him, when bis-force precipitately fled be
yond (he Boston Mountain; - All the organized
forces of the Rebels have thus been driven back
to the Talley of the Arkansas River, and the
Army of the Frontier has gallantly and succes
fully accomplished its mission.
