The Right to Bear Arms,
No act of the National government du
ring the late civil war was fraught with
more important consequences than the
enlistment of negro troops. Nearly two
hundred thousand of these wore actually
in service, and did well for their country,
a country which by that act, for the first
time in lier history, acknowledged them
us her people. Most of them were raised
in the South, in the very worst of all the
rebellious States, where thair misters
were in the field doing their utmost to
destroy the republic, and they were lib
crated from their fetters togo out like
the Greek bondmen in Persian war,
and fight the battles of freedom. It was
a bold E-tcp fo make soldiers of such men
in a region where they had been so long
held to belong to an inferior race, and
against their own ojlprcssors. But it was
a successful one. The stubborn prejudi
ces of northern whites gave way, and
recognized these black soldiers as breth
ren in a good cause, while even southern
contempt was overcome, and the nogro
raised himself immeasurably in the eyes
of the southern whites by fighting against
them, and fighting well, too.
The real importance of the act, how
ever, lay in the recognition thus afforded
o! the right of the blacks to bear arms,
always disputed previously,notwithstand-
in;; I lie guarantees of the national Con- j
stitution. Not only were they conceded
the right to bear arms, but arms were
placed in their hands,, the national uni
form on their bodies, the national colors
confided to their care, and they were
ranked and paid as soldiers of the repub
lic. This service performed and the ueed
of their aid no longer existing, it now
M:enis that the government chooses to
ignore both them and their rights. The
rwy wen who were deemed fit to be sol
diers of the -Union are now disarmed Vy
rebel Slate officials nil ovor the South,
acting by -he connivance of Andrew
Johnson and his reactionary cabal. This
i» no guess work. The statements rest
nßon military authority,.and prove COB.
< In-i'vsly that those w''o fought for the
Union when it was in peril are now al
lowed to be disarmed by disbanded rebel
troops who have seized possession of the
i'tato vowerr, .elected each other to office,
o are now engaged in endeavoring to
crush out all unionism both of blacks and
whites.
The second articles of the amendment
made to the Constitution in 1789 says
explicitly that "A well regulated militia
being necessary to the security of a (Vee
State, the right of the people to keep and
bear arms shall not be infringed." Now
what is here meant by i; thc people?"—
Webster defines it as "the body of per
sons who compose a community, town,
city or nation; the vulgar, the mass of
illiterate persons; the commonalty as dis
tirwt from men of rank; persons in gen
eral," and so on. Whichever one of
these definitions we take, not a black
person in the South, or anywhere else in
llio country, can be excluded under it
irom the right to bear arms, though the
reOcl oligarchs who are now engaged in
disarming them could be.
Recurring, however to the language
ol the Constitution, we find that it cou
ples this great right with the necessity
for a militia, showing obviously enough
that the people to be allowed to keep and
bear arms are those of whom a militia
can be composed. Of course, we shall
Jiprc be answered that the militia is a
State institution, logulated by State laws,
and as no blacks are included in it by
the lews of the Southern States, none of
them are desigued by this article of the
Constitution. /\V by, then, does the Con
stitution deem it necessary to throw this
safeguard around it? If the militia be
wholly a State institution, why should
national Constitution look after it thus ?
Moreover, if the militia belong wholly to
tiie State, where is the republic to look
for soldiers when tho State orders the
militia to rebel!'
This is exactly what led so many south
ern Union mcu to sustain their States in
rebellion. They hold the theory that the
militia belonged of right to the State, and
were hound to obey the orders of tjjp
State authorities even against those of
tlio national government. When the
conscription act was passed, the national
authority took complete possession of all
thi; anus-bearing population of the coun
try. Where, then, was the State author
ity over the militia? If that authority
hu.d been superior tho conscription act
never could have been enforced, and the
war must have been arrested for the want
of men. To recognize the rebel theory
now -as valid would render us liable to
this dtfliculy hereafter.
Hut if the negro <\B ie not. included in
the militia, they are peculiarly the "peo
ple" of the nation, and under the words
of the Constitution are entitled to bear
arms. This is clear from the fact that
tliey have so borne arms as soldiers of the
republic. We find, then, that while the
rebel Statu officials jling to their theorios
and demand and enfore the constitutional
right of the white people of the South to
bear aruu, the national government aban
dons entirely Clio protection of those who
are acknowledged to be peculiarly its
charge, auU who were its be»t frionds at
the Sou'li during the War This Andrew
Jububou does, wo presume, ou the j>riu
eiple that his duty is to protect the »cbels ;
and not the freedmen for on no othef
theory can we account foi his conduct.
But if these freedmen are not 'people*
within the view of this article of the
Conititution, th,ey cannot be held tQ b*.
'persons' within the view of the article
which prescribes ho representatives in
Congress shall be apportioned. If they
are 'persons' at all, they clearly belong
to t>be 'militia,' no matter what any one
may say to the contrary. Whenever
called upon to defend the State against
invasion tlicir refusal would avail them
nothing, they would be obliged to serve.
It is worthy of notice here that Gen. Lee
strenuously urged the rebel government
to arm the negroes and the question, of
doing so was undecided when the confed
eracy fell. Gen Butler proved by rebel
records that in Louisiana, the very State
where the negroes are now being disarm
ed by rebels, they were during the war
armed, enlisted and regularly trained a*
rebel troops.
Thus, however we regard this question
we see but one conclusion—that the ne
groes of the South have the constitu
tional right to keep and bear arms. If
they have not, then they cannot consti
tutionally be counted all in apportioning
represcntvtives to the South. If they
have not, then no one south but a rebel
has the right to bear arms, and the men
whom wc used for our own purposes in
the war must be abandoned. In guaran
teeing this inestimable popular right, the
Constitution intended that men should
use the arms to defend their homes and
then families against oppression.
No class in the country stands more in
need of such protect ion than the fried
men of the south, anl it is exactly be
cause the rebels know this that they de
prive them of arms. We hold that in
permitting this to be dono Andrew John
son has been grossly derelict to his duty,
and in this respect, as in so many others,
ho has shown that while perpetually pra
ting about the Constitution he totally
disregards its most invaluable provisions.
He has allowed the southern negroes to
be disarmed, knowing as he did that if
sodisaimcd the scheme to reduce tliein
to a state of abject peonage could not be
be resisted by them. Whether this was
accidental or not on his part may be seen
by the fact that at the same tint# he did
this he resisted to the uttermost the ex
tension of civil rights to the frecdmen,
wlieiebj Ihcy could peaceably defend their
interests with some chance of success in
conrts of law and justice. The disarm-'
anient of the blacks is manifestly part of
the gonera'*reactionary scheme.

A PROCLAMATION.
Almighty Uod, Our Heavenly Father,
has been pleased to vouchsafe to us, as a
people, another year of that national life
which is an indispensable condition of
peace, security and progress. That year,
moreover, has been crowned with many
peculiar blessings. The civil war that
was so recently among us has not been
anywhere reopened. Foreign interven
tion has ceased to excite alarm or appre
hension. intrusive pestilence has been
benignly mitigated. Domestic tranquil
ity has im proved, sentiments of concili
ation have largely prevailed, and affections
ofloyaltyand patriotism have been widely
renewed. Our fields have yielded quite
abundantly. Our mining industy has
been richly rewarded, and we have been
allowed to extend oar railroad system far
into tho interior recesses of the country,
while our commerce has resumed its cus
tomary activity in foreign seas. These
great national blessings demand a national
acjiiyiwledgement.
Now, therefore. I, Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States, do hereby
recommend that Thursday, the 2iUh of
November next, bo sot apart and observed
everywhere in the several States and Ter
ritories of the United States by the people
thereof, as a day of thanksgiving and
praise to Almighty God, with dne remem
brance that in His temple doth every
man speak Ilis Honor. I recommend
also, that on the solemn oecasion. we do
humbly and devoutly implore Him to
grant to our National councils, and to our
whole people thnt divine wisdom which
alone can lead any nation into the way
of all good. In offering these national
thanksgivings, praises, and supplications
we have tho divine assurance that "The
Lord rcmainetha King forever. Them
that arc weak shall He guide in judgment,
and such as are gentle shall He learn His
way. The Lord shall give strength to
His people, and tho Lord shall give to
His people the blessings of peaoe."
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affiixed. Done at
the city of Washington this eighth day
of October in the year of onr Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-six,
and of the independence of the United
States the ninety-first.

REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Made at WALTHAM Mass.
lH tlio IICHt.
It is made on the best principle. Its frame is compos
ed of SOLID PLATBS. NO jar can interfere with the
harmony of its working and no ftudden shock can dam
age its machinery. Every piece is made and finished
by machinery (itself fiunous for itsi.ovelty, as well as
for ito effectiveness) and is therefore properly made.—
The watch ii what all mechanism should be—ACCU
RATE, SIMPLE, BTRONO, AND ECONOMICAL.—
Except sonie high grades, too costly for general use,
foreign w*tcjies ar * chiefly made by women and boys,
Such watchos are pomposed of several hundred pieces,
strewed and rivited together, and require constant re
pairs to keep them in #ny kind o order. All persons
who havs carried '-ancres," "lepfnes" sad "English
Patent Levers," arc perfectly well aware oT ths truth of
this statement.
At the beginning of our enterpri«e,£more than ten
years'ago, it vn»i our object to mako a thoroughly good
low-priced watch for *tbe million, tot ike the place of
these foreign impositions—the refase of foreign facto
ries—which wore ontirely unsaleable at home aud per
fectly worthless everywhere.
flow well we bare accomplished this may be under
stood frotn the fact, that after ao many years of public
trial, we now make MORE THAN ONE-HALF OF ALL
THE WATCHES SOLD IN Til K UNITED STATES, an.l
that no others have ever given such universal satisfac
tion. While th(s department of oar business is contin
ued with increased facilities for perfect w«»rk, wt are at
present en<rag«d in the manufacture of watches of the
verv HIOfIEBT GRADE KNOWN TO CnRONOMETRY
unequalled by anything hitherto made by ourselves,
and unsurpassed by anything made in the world. For
this purpose we have the amplest facilities. We hav«
erected an addition to our main buildings expressly for
this branch of our business, and have filled it with the
brtH workmen in our service. New machines nnd appli
ances have been constructed, which perform their work
with consummate delicacy and exactness. The choicest
and moat approved materials only are used and we chal
lenge comparison l>etween this grade of our work and
the finest imported chronometers. We do not pretend
to sell our watches for leu money than foreign watches,
but we do assert without fear of contradiction that for
the same money our product is incomparably superior.
A!1 our watches, of whatever grade, are fully warranted
and his warrantee is good at'all times against us or our
agents in.all parts of the world.
CAUTION. —The public are cautioned to buy only o
respectable dealers. All persons selling counterfeits
will be prosecuted.
