Martin and New rleans, including the city of New`Orleantywhichare the parts of Louisiana exempted from the operation of the proclama tion, but 'which are made the theatre of mili tary Operationi. in Alabama we see what the proclamation does without the presence of , an army. In these parishes of. j.ouisiana we see what the preseice of an army dees . without a proclamation. In Alabama'no slaves are freed where they are all "ordered and declared " to be free. In the excepted parishes of Louisiana siarery is utterly destroyedithere no' Such order or declaration is authorized to be enforeed. And yet there are many who suppose that they are arguing in defence, of the proclamation when they say With Mr. Chase that slaiery is the "under-prop" of the' rebellion, and that , we must 'strike at it." They might advnnce the, purpoles of their argument if they timid! O u ly , how that the "ender-prop" has, ever ' been in the slOheest degree weakened by that paper - That our armies disturb Slavery, and thoethey must necessarily disturb it, is Canceded by 411, but, that elavery has user beendistailieil Iby a measure which, , as Oen Leen . .novor inade a single slaim free' would . not have been gtherwisefieed,i6 propiisitfini Which we find it difficult to' , eitabHsh; but it Is one which must be established before any a-ryamene can be made in support of the proclamation. , .
