or Interest, each nun ef as wonld owe lew op
Otl that debt now than each man owed tipon
It then. Tbla, because onr locreaae of men
through the whole period haa been greater
than aiz per cent, haa ran fatter than the In
terest upon the debt. Thus time alone relieves
a debtor nat ion so long as its population in
creases faster than onpaid interest accumu
lates upon its debt. This tact would be no ex
cuse for delaying payment of what is justly
doe, but it shows the great importance ol
time in this connection. The treat advantage
of the policy by which we shall not have to
pay ur:til we number one hundred millions
what by a different policy we would have
to pay now when we number but thirty-one
millions. In a word, it shows that a dollar
will be much harder to pay tor the war, than
win be a dollar for emancipation on the pro
posed plan. And the latter will cost no blood
no precious life. It will be a saving of both
As lo the second article, I think it wonld be
Impracticable to return to bondage the class
01 persons therein contemplated. Some of
them doubtless, in the property sense, belong
io loyal owners, and hence provision is made
la this article for compensating such.
The tbiid article relates to the future of the
freed people. It does not oblige but merely
antborizes Congress to aid in colonizing such
as may consent. This ought not to be rezar
ded as objectionable oo one band or the other
inasmuch as it comes to nothing unless by
the mutual conseut of the people to be depor
ted, and the American voters through their
representatives in Congress. I cannot make
it better known than it already is that
strongly favor colonization, and yet, I wish to
say there is an objection urged against free
colored persons remaining in the countrr
which is largely imaginary, if not sometimes
malicious, it is insisted that their presence
wouia injure and displace white labor and
wnne laborers. If there ever could be a prop
r time (or mere catch arguments, that time
aureiy is not now. Xu times like the present
men snouid utter nothing for which they
would not willingly be responsible through
time and io eternity. Is it true, then, that
colored people can displace any more white
labor by being free than by remaining slaves 1
If they stay in their old places, they jostle no
white laborers. If they leave their old places
tney leave mem open to white laborers. Log
ically there is neither more nor less of it
Emancipation, even without deportation, would
probably enhance the wages of white labor
and ver.v surely would not reduce them. Thus
the customary amount of labor would still
have to be petloimed. The freed people would
surely not do more than their old proportion
of it, and very probably for a time would do
less, leaving an increased part to white labor
ers, cringing their labor into greater demand
and consequently eubancing the wages cf it.
n itn deportation even to a limited extent, en
hinced w igea to white labor is mathematical
ly certain, labor is like any other commodity
in the market; increase the demand for it, and
you increase the price of it. Reduce the auo
ply of black labor by colonizing the black la
borer out of the country, and by precisely so
much you increase the demand for and wages
01 wnite labor, cut it is dreaded that the
freed people will swarm forth and cover the
whole land. Are they not already in the land f
w ill liberation make them any more numer
ousf Equally distributed among the whites
01 tne whole country, and there would be but
one colored to seven whites. Could the one
in any way greatly disturb the seven 1 There
are many communities now having more than
one free colored person to seven whites, and
this without any apparent consciousness of
the States of Maryland andTclaware, are all
in this condition. The District has more than
one free colored to six whites, and yet in its
frequent pe'itions to Congress, I believe it has
neer pretexted tbe presence of free colored
persons as use of its grievances. But why
should emancipation South send the freed
people Worth J People of any color seldom
run unless there be something In run frfim
Heretofore, enclosed people, to some extent,
have fled North froru bondage, and now, per
haps, from both bondage and destitution ; but
if gradual emancipation and deportation be
adopted, they will have neither to flee from.
Their old masteis will give them wages at
least until new laborers can be procured, and
the freed mn, in turn, will gladly give their
laoor lor tne wages till new homes can be pro-
cureo lor tnem in congenial climes and with
people oi their own blood and race. This
proposition can be trusted on the mutual in
terests involved, snd in any event cannot the
North decide for itself whether to receive
them 7 Again, as practice proves more than
theory, In any case has there been any irrnp-
iion oi coiereu people northward because of
tne abolishment of slavery in this District last
spring I What I have said of the proportion
oi iree eoiorea persons to the whites, in the
D strict, is from tbe cens s of 1860, having no
reference to persons called contrabands, nor
to those made freed by the act of Congress
aooiisiiing slavery nere. The plan consisting
of these articles is recommended, not but that
a restoration of the national authority would
be accepted without its adoption ; nor will the
war nor proceedings under the proclamation
of September 22, 1862, be stayed because of
tne recommendation of this plan. Its timely
adoption, I doubt not, would bring restora
tion, and thereby stay both. And notwith
standing this plan, the recommendation that
Congress provide by law for compensating
any State which may adopt emancipation be
far this plan shall have been acted upon, is
nerecy earnestly renewed. Such would be
only an advance part of the plan, and the same
arguments apply to both. This plan is rec
ommended as a means not in exclusion of, but
additions! to, all others for restoring and pre
serving the national authority throughout tbe
Union. The subject is presented exclusively
in its economical aspect. The plan would, I
am confident, secure peace more speedily, and
maintain it wore permanently, than can be
done by force alone, while all it wonld cost,
considering amount and of payment and times
of payment, would be easier paid than will be
tbe additional cost of the war, if we rely sole
ly upon force. It is much, very much, that it
would cost oo blood at all. The plan is pro
posed as permanent constitutional law. It
cannot become such without tbe concurrence
of, first, two-thirds of Congress, and after
wards, three-fourths of the Statea. The req
uisite three fourths of the States will neces
sarily include seven of tbe alave States. Their
Concurrence, if obtained, will give assurance
of their severally adopting emancipation at no
very distant day upon tbe new constitutional
terms, This assurance would end tbe strug
gle now, and save the Union forever.
I do not forget tbe gravity which ahould
characterize a paper addressed to the' Con
gress of the nstion by the Chief Magistrate
of the nation. Nor do I forget that some of
700 are ray seniors j nor that many of you
have more experience than I in the conduct
of public affairs. Vet I trust that in view of
tbe great responsibility resting upon me, you
will perceive no want of reapeet to yourselves
In any undue earnestness I may seem to dis
play. Is it doubted, tbin, that the plan I pro
pose, if adopted, would shorten tbe war, and
thus lessen its expenditure of money and of
blood ? Is it doubted that it wonld restore
tbe national antbority and national prosperity,
and perpetuate both indefinitely 7 Is it doubt- I

u u we uore, wungresa ana executive, can 1
secure it adoption 7 Will not tbe good peo-'
Pie respond to a united and earnest appeal
from us Can we, can taey, by any other
means so certainly or so speedily assure these
vitsl objects 1 We csn succeed only by con
cert. It is not "Can any of ns imagine bet
ter V but "Can we all do better 7"- Object,
whatsoever is possible ; still tbe question re
curs, "Can we do better f" Tbe dogmas of
tbe quiet past are inadequate, to the stormy
present. The occasion is piled high with dit
ficulty, and we must rise w th the occasion.
As our case is new, so we must think anew and
set anew. We must disenthrall ourselves,
and then we shall save our country.
Fellow-citizens : We cannot escape histo
ry. We of this congress and this Adminis
tration will be remembered in spite of our
selves. Xo personal significance or insignifi
cance can spare one or another of us. The
fiery trial through which we pass will light ns
down in honor or dishonorto the latest gen
eration. We say, "We are tor tbe Union."
The world will not forget that we say this.
We know how to save tbe Uuioo. The world
knows we know how to save it. We even
we here hold the power and bear the respon
sibility. In giving freedom to tne slave we
assnre freedom to tbe free honorable alike
in what we give and what we preserve. We
shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best
hope ol earth. Other means may succeed
this could not fail. The way is plain peace
ful, generous, just a way which, if followed,
the world will forever applaud, and God
mnst forever bless. Abraham Lincoln."

THE PAPER PANIC.
The re iding community need not be surpris
ed if they will soon have to pay higher prices
for their newspapers, in consequence of the
great increase in the cost of printing paper,
which, during the past month, has advanced
nearly one hundred per cent Some of the
city publishers have already raised their pri
ces, and the balance will be obliged to follow
their example or "shut shop." Time alone
will show how many of the country establish
ments will be able to keep their presses in
operation.
The great advance in the price of printing
paper is mainly attributable to the scarcity of
cotton rags. The high rate of exchange shuts
oil importations, and tbe country is thus de
prived of $2,000,000 worth of foreign. rw
ii'hi-h .. Amiari; oonsumed each year.
Then again tbe short supply, and consequent
high price of cotton, has taxed tbe ingenuity
of people, and great quantities of material
formerly used in the manufacture of paper,
are now picked Into shoddy, and used as a
substitute for cotton. Cotton and linen shod
dy is freely used in the manufacture of wool
en goods, and where this passion for shoddy
will finally end, nobody can foretell. So lim
ited, indeed, has become the supply of stock,
that some of the manufacturers fear that the
question yet to be solved is not only as to
price, but whether the quantity of paper re
Huircu uu oe suppiiea. inventive genius
may furnisb a remedy. Straw makes a go.id
substitute for rags, and manufacturers will
soon have suitable machinery for a more gen
eral converting of straw into paper. In this
way and by mixing old papef with rags, a suf
ficient quantity tnay be produced to meet the
wants of the consumers.
"How can readers expect to lorni correct o
pinions npon controverted fcts when they hear
the evidence only on one side 1 We prefer to
lay all the facts the statements of each patty
before our readers, so that thev can jud"e
for themselves." Clea: field Republican.
Astonishing magnanimity ! Our neighbors
"prefer" to give their "readers all the facf s" !
Since when 7 Have yon pursued this conrse
consistently during the past two years 7 You
published Bigler's speech of Dec. 11, 1360.
"on the present unhappy condition of the
country," that is "one side," where is the
other t You published Douglas's speech of
Jan. 3. 1861, "on the state of the Union" that
is "one side" again, what became of tbe oth
er side 7 Did you "prefer" to publish "all
the tacts." But, perhaps, the speeches refer
red to were no "upon controverted facts"?
Or did you prefer to give "one side" only 7
Why did nt you publish Holt's letter of May
31, 1861, or his speech at Cincinnati on July
Id, imi 7 Why did'nt yon give your readers
Dickinson's speech of Aug. 3, 1861, at Cort

Aug. 19, 1861 ; or Rob't J. Walker's speech
at N.York ; or Andy Johnson's speech in the
Senate on July 27, 1861, or his speech at Cin
cinnati 7 Or did these Democrats not state
"facts" 7 You "prefer to lav all th f,.t.
fore your readers"! Pooh! Preferring to do
an act and doing it, are two distinct proposi
tions, and our neighbors seem to incline to
tbe former.
A Summing pp The Knoxville (Tennessee)
Register, (secessionist.) thus sums up tbe raer-
its of the controversy between Buchanan and
Gen. Scott: Ex-President Buchanan haa pub
lished an elaborate defence against tbe char
ges of inefficiency preferred against him by
Gen. Scoit. It possesses little interest, save
that either he or Scott had lied, and nobody
in the bouth eares which, both are miserable
old dotards. Nothing remains of "Old Bnek"
but his cock-eyed knavery, and of Scott, but
bis vanity and egotism. Their vices live
their virtues have rotted.
No attempt has aa vat hei null h Rnn,.
side to cross the Rspahsnnock. The Rebels
are still engaged to lortitjia too bills back
of Fredericksburg.
WHAT THE PKESS THINKS OF IT.
The newspaper press generally, throughout
the country, speaks very highly of the Mes
sage. The Philadelphia Pre in commenting
upon it, says r
. "ltpiust be said of the President that he
never takes up any subject without exhaust
ing it. He approaches every conclusion calm
ly, slowly, and without passion ; while, at
times, we see what might lie called hesitation
and irresolution, in tbe end we know that tbe
spirit of tbe patriot has inspired every senti
ment and deed. So much magnanimity so
much justice so much consideration for mi
norities so much humanity so much for
bearance to those who have erred we do not
often see in those who rule empires."
The Pittsburg Gazette remarks : "Not only
at home among ourselves, but abroad "in Eu
rope, in every quarter of the civilized world
in fact nay, in the rebel States themselves
there is just one subject ol paramount impor
tance, in comparison with which all others'
sink into very insignificance. On this great
subject, to wit, the Proclamation of the 22nd
of September last, the Message is rcry brief,
but very satisfactory that is, to all parties
above mentioned, save and except the rebels.
The President roetely refers to that Proclama
tion as a fact accomplished, the mighty sequel
of which, its" complement and inevitably
pledged completion, tbe revolution of thirty
days must bring about. This is tbe pivots
point, as tbe President well knows, on which
all success against tbe Rebellion must rest, or
rather must turn ; and so fully is this realized,
that he does not even review tbe controversy
on tbe subject, but, as wo have said, jnst as
sumes that matter as a fixed and irrevocable
fact."
The New York Evening Post says : "But tie
main' topic of tbe Message is not our foreign
relations, nor our domestic war, but that stu
pendous evil, slavery, which is tbe cause alike
of tore i no and domestic danger. Mr. Lincoln
sees, with the utmost distinctness, that sla
very lies at the root of all our national troub
les, and, with a candor that does him honor,
lie is striving in various ways to gel lid of that
evil. As Commander-in-Chief of the armies
he hurls against it the battle axe, he chops it
info pieces with his military arm, he decrees
that it is a support and means of the war, and
as such shall no longer exist All this be has
the most unquestionable right to do ; but fear
ing that bis military pronuncixmento may not
be as effective as he desires, he renews the as
sault as President. In that capacity his pow
er is restrained by constitutional limits; he is
no longer the warrior, amenable only to the
code of nations; he is a simple municipal
magistrate, bound by the g'rictest rules, and
he can do only what the law allows, or the
representatives of the people authorize. He
begs them, therefore, to procure such an a
mendment of the Constitution as shall enable
the States io the gradual extinction of sla
verv Mr. Lincoln is also pro
foundly right in his inference that the effect
will not cease until the cause is extinguished ;
that men who take up arms against a benefi
cent government in order to protect a special
interest, will net lay down those arms till that
interest is either appeased or put out of- the
way. The w.ir has given ns an opportunity
for doing so, which none but fools would neg
lect. Slavery must begot rid of by the strong
hand or by legislation ; Mr. Lincoln says, by
both : by tbe strong hand in the impenitent
relel States, and by equitable legislation in
the loyal States If slavery be a
curse, as we all know it is ; if tbe continuance
of it is incompatible, as tbe President argues.
with the continuance of the Union then if
roust le destroyed at once. No nation bas a
right to inflict a curse upon posterity ; no leg
islator can weigh for a moment the interests
of a special class against integrity and preser
vation of bis country."
I he President gives a very satisfactory
statement of our Foreign relations, and die
cusses the financial affiairs of the country with
ability. He refers to tbe Public Lands, the
Indian troubles, the Pacific Railroad, and oth
er subjects, which will be examined and re
garded us satisfactory or unsatisfactory, ac
cording to the prepossessions of individuals
on these mbjects. The message is one of the
most important documents that has ever ema
nated from the National Executive, and will
bo read with more interest than any preceed
ing one. It is brief, and yet so pointed that
there is no mistaking its meaning. It is a
statesmanlike production,dea!ing plainly with
stern facts and questions, and entirely free
from any political capital; and hence will be
favorably received by both tbe friends snd op
ponent's of Mr. Lincoln's Administration.
Read it.
The Hero or the Monitor Again Afloat.
Commander Worden, whose services on the
Monitor have been so highly appreciated by
his country, will sail from this city next week
in a better ship than even the Merrimac's an
tagonist. His eyes are well enough for duty,
and his spirits excellent. By the laws of rank
alone he is a Commander, no special promo
tion having been conferred on bim. His new
craft the Ericsson battery Montau now at
the Delanieter iron-works, is nearly finished,
aud will be ready to fibt in a few days. Her
new gun and turret apparatus is receiving the
final touches, the officers appointed by the
N vy Department have nearly all reported to
Admiral Paulding, and the guns are already
on Itoard. She is even more caret nllv
pleted than the Passaic IV. F. Tribune.
Scott amp Buchaham. Gen. Scott, through
the National Intelligencer, finally and briefly
replies to Mr. Buchanan, denying that he has
any resentments to gratify, stating that he haa
"received many official courtesies from the late
President, but to vindicate justice and the
truth of history is a paramount obligation."
He insists and shows that certain Southern
States "received an undue proportion of anna,
many of which were not condemned."
' THE ABUT OF THE POTOMAC.
Extracts from General Halleck'a Report to the
secretary of war.
Tbe Commander-in-Chief, in his report to
the Secretary of War, states that he started
on tbe 24th of July to visit the Army of the
Potomac, to ascertain if the.-e was a possi
bility of an advance upon Richmond from
Harrison's Landing." and if not, to form
some plan of uniting the armies of Gen Pope
and Gen. McCleMan, "who was of the opinion
that it wonld require fifty thousand additional
men to go on." Ualleck replied that there
could not possibly be sent more than twenty
thousand. McClellan asked to consider the
matter till morning, when he agreed to go on
with that number. On Gen. Halleck's arrival
home, he received a dispatch saying tht at
least thirty-five thousand would be reqnired
The report states that such reinforcements
could not be sent without leaving Washing
ton and Baltimore almost defenceless, and an
order for the withdrawal of ths army of the
Potomac was issued Aug. 3, a previous order
having been given for the removal of the sick,
and transports in vast numbers supplied ; but
that a protest was received from Gen. McClel
lan on the 5th, and that the order was not put
in force for eleven days on the 14th.
On the 1st, orders were given to Gen. Burn-
side to embark at Newport News for Aquia
Creek, and he arrived there promptly on tbe
night of the 3d.
A review of tbe movements before Wash
ington is made. He says that a part of the
Armv of the Potomac was ordered to the front
from Alexandria, and that Gen. Cox was or
dered to come by rail via Washington from
Western Virginia with the main portion of
his force. Of Gen. Pope's order on the 27th
to Gen. Porter to be at Bristow Station the
next morning he said, "For some unexplained
reason Porter did not comply with this order,
and his corps was not in the battles of the
28th and 29th," in which Gen. Pope won con
siderahlu advantages, though tbe battles were
not decisive.
Of the reinforcements from Alexandria, em
bracing at length the w hole Peninsula army,
it is said "some of the corps moved with be
coming activity, but the delays of others were
neither creditable nor excusable." The sol
diers actually engaged in those battles
"fought with great bravery," but many thou
sand straggled away from their commands,
and it is said that not a few voluntarily sur
rendered to the enemy so as to be paroled as
'-prisoners of war." It is added : "Had the
Army of the Potomac arrived a few days ear
lier, the Rebel army could have been easily
defeated, and perhaps destroyed,"
The losses at South Mountain and Autietam
are put at 1,742 killed ; 8,066 wounded and
913 missing; a total of 10,721.
Tiie report states that the army rested on
the north bank of tbe Potomac, near Sharps-
2Gth of October, and says that "the long inac
tivity of so large an army in the face of a de
feated foe and duriny tbe most favorable sea
son for rapid marches and a vigorous campaign
was a matter of great disappointment ud
regret."
Gen. Ha Heck states that he telegraphed
McClellan, Oct. 6, to cross the river. Gen
McClellan disapproved the plan of crossing
south of the Blue Ridge, but proposed to
cross at Harpn's Ferry, and move on Win
Chester, but did not cross until Oct. 26, and
then at Berlin, the passage occupying till Nov
3. During this period Gen. McClellan stop
ped communicating with the Commander-in
Ctner, addressing the President. On tbe 5th
his removal was ordered.
What the Rebels Expect from their Nor
thern Sympathizers. The Atlanta (Ga ) In
lelligencer of October 28th has a long and very
sharp review of General Brajrg's campaign in
Kentucky, in which it shows up the incapac
ity of tbt General. The following is an ex
tract showing the hopes entertained at the
south, and the reliance placed upor. such re
bellion sympathizers as Vallai.digham, Bright
and others : "Had General Bragg done bis
duty as well and promptly as General Smith
did, Louisville would have been ours, Cincin
nati would have furnished ns with suppU.-s,
while Columbus. Ohio, might have been our
headquarters. Then would the Yillaridig
hams of Ohio, and the Brighrs of Indiana,
have rallied to the issuing of General Bragg's
noted proclamation ; then would many thou
sand friends in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois hive
joined the Southern army ; then, too, could
General Bragg, having cut off the Western
from the Eastern Slates, have whispered terms
of peace into tbe North western ear; and
then might we have reasonably hoped for
peace. But now all hope of peace is iodefi
nitely postponed,and our prospects are gloom
ier than when we began to cross the moun
tain, because our appearance near tbe Ohio
has caused -many a man to be added to tbe
Northern army that, had we remained south
of the mountain, would never have taken up
arms against ns."
English Workmen asp the Rebels One
of the ablest writers for tbe Joun at de debalt
is now writing letters to that journal from
Manchester and Birmingham, and he extols
as something the most grand and wondarful
he ever saw, the abnegation a -d practical
sound sense of tbe English laboring classes
under their present sufferings. But be adds,
what is more wonderful still, is that this class
understand the real question at issue in the
United States, and nearly universally and by
that instinct which unites the democratic mas
ses everywhere, takes sides with the north,
and refuses to murmur because they see their
own battle the battle for free labor being
lougbt out.
So writes the Paris correspondent of the
New Yjrk Commercial. How beautiful that
is f How touching that the men who, in all
England, are our firmest friends, are those
who are suffering most intensely from tbe
wsr.
