trer If tho "gas-houses" of the War
ren Ledger are not i4ague against the
Government, why publish every secession
article they can find, and seek by every
"round-about" course to make Lincoln
...
appear, not as the President of the United
Stateswhom all citizens should respect
—but as the partizan leader? • Although
not claiming to be as wise as the "Solo
mons " of the Ledger, we still think we
understand enough of the English lan
gnage to discover in the article copied
from the Buffalo Courier a very strong
desire to make President Lincoln. appear
.. in 'any other character than that of an
"Honest Chief Magistrate. The writer of
the article in the Courier, thinks Lincoln's.
message "as a whcle, intends to make
the war simply one to resist aggression
and reinstate the authority of the Con- 1
stitution and the Federal Laws." This
is very true, a' ' all very well, but there
follows that if ich throws "•eold water "
upon all this seemingly fair talk; and
Makes the-Preident seem as though the
a' partizan overshadowed the patriot;" and
when in the roaugural he says: "It is
now for them (the people) to demonstrate
to the world that those who can fairly
',parry an election 'Pan' also suppress a re
bellion," that he refers to the Republican
_party alone; and desires„ or at least seems
to desire, no assistance from: those who
do not'in all things think as he,• does.—
And then gives the vote of, all opposed
to Lincoln's election, to show that, in case
they united in opposition to his adminis
tration, he would fail in the effort to en
force the Laws and sappress Rebellion.
They lose sight of the principle that when
a State declares for a certain man, his
election by that State supposes that ,the
loyal people as a unit will suppot ( t, all
his Constitutional acts—the harpings of,
the disloyal to the contrary notwithstand
ing—and that when the greatest number
of States, the, niajorityrf -the country, as
a whole, Say such a many shall have such
an office, all loyal from that time on are
to lose sight of the party-leader and re
cognize-him as their Chief in the enforce
ment of the laws. i If he does that Which
is unconstitutional they have their remedy
and:can impeach 'hint before, the Bar of
Bis Country. ' If yoW - ortbA9 2 trier, or
;
you of the Ledger, are ' '7,,Toyal men,
i , .. -_,-:.. ~,./
why quibble about what tone or tbat,.
one MOULIR, why not forsake the partizan
and bec r ome the patriot? No one wants
you toi join the Republican party. 'They
Weuldn't hive you! No:one wants you
to become a proselyte to the "devilishrless
of Abolitionism," or the "treason of Re
publicanism." We are well aware that,
incase the entire Democratic party of the
North I united with, the. Southern hordes
under Jeff.•. Davis, it would prolong ;the
struggle, make it more bitter, ruin eur
country, and perhaps give it into the hab i ds
of 'a foreign enemy. 'We do not fear dila,
thrt masses of the Democratic party in !the
North, with such men as. Daniel S. Diek

I suffer jthe Nagna Charta'of their liberties
to be rent in sunder, either by Southern
rebels, or by those at bomb who are Only
too cowardly to avow their real sentiments:
The love of liberty is too strongly entwined
within the-' mountain fastnesses of the
North' for any miasmic vapor of secession

and, so help us God, we will remain free
or die in our tracks. If we fall, if we fail,
if our country is lost, woe, woe, to those
of our own household •Ivhci have lifted' up
their hands against us.
Against the Government!:
,
" The evidences are mnitiplying in ;a.
rious gitarters, day after day; that a large
'proportion' 'at least nt the. Democratic ,
leaders are preparing to take a bold posi
tion agaicst the further prosecution of the
war,
and that they are resolved to' drag
the Democratic party aftfir them, if pos
sibie, Into that false attitude. Hitherto
they have confined themselves to assaults
upon the Administration a Mr. LINCOLN,
and to denouncing the,memures it
. 1 1 1 as
adopted for crushing out th'e rebelhon,
charging it (John 0. Brecliinridge-lie)
with de •cising, unauthorized and uneOn--
stitutiontl•power. But it can readilyse,
perceiver. that the•design'is only to pave
the way for opposition to:the Government.
itself. The course of these unprincipled
leaders in. Maine, New Hampshire, Ohio,
rnd New York, leaves no doubt on this
point. We apprehend that we shall seon
witness like action in Pennsylvania. The
indications are unmistakeable.
It would \be well for these men, before
they irrevocably commit themselves and
their party to a treasonable policy, to study
the teaehings of the bather of Democracy,
and of the most' trusted expoundersi of
its principles, upon the ditty of the Go
vernment in` such an i eniergency
present. They will hardly question the
authority of JEFFERSON and DOUGLAS
on, these points. The former in a letter
dated Sept. 10,1501, in'reply to the qUes
thm, " whether circumstances do not soine-

Jested itself in open war. And in regard
to the character and objects of rebellion,
which these . same Democratic leaderS are

the authority.of the lamented Douglas
will hardly be questioned. Ile declared

rank-and file are true and loyal, as proved
by their conduct here ;and elsewhere in
joining .the armies of the Government,.
and supporting.the policy which contem

The peace party of the North; acid the
war party of the South, are followers of
the same idea. Mr. Davis wishes= to eni

I Proclamation by the President.
WHEaEAs, A joint committee of both
Houses of
. Congress has waited on the
Ptesident of the United States', and re
quested, him to recommend a day of put?r
lie humiliation,iprayer, and fasting, to be
observed by the people of the United
States with religions solemnities, and the
offering of feryent supplications to Al
mighty God for the safety and welfare of
these States, his blessings ou their arms,
and a speedy restoration to peace; and,
whereas, it is fit and becoming in all peo
ple, at all time to acknowledge and re
sere the Supreme Government of God,
to bow in humble submission to His plias
tisements, to confess and deplore their
sins and transgressions, in the full con-
viction that the fear of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom, and to pray with
all fervency and contrition for the pardon
of their past offences and for a blessing
upon their present and prospectivC ac
tions; and whereas, when our beloved
country, once, by the blessing of God,
united, , prosperous, and happy, is: now
afflicted' with Taetious and 'civil war, it is
peculiarly fit for us to recognize the hand
of God' in thisLvisitation and sorrowful
remembrance of our own faults and crimes,
as a nation and as individuals, to humble
ourselves before Him and to pray for llis
mercy; to pray that we may be spared
further punishment, though most justly
deserved ; that our arms may be blessed
and made effectual for re-establishment
of law, order, and peace throughout-our
country and that the inestimable boon
of civil and religious liberty, earned under
His guidance and blessing by the labors
and suffrres a our fathers, may be re
stored in all its original excellency. There
-fore I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States, do appoint the last Thurs
day in September next as a day of humi
liation, p:ayer, and fasting for all the peo
ple of the nation, and I do earnestly re
commend to the peGple,, and especially to
all ministers and teacher, of religion, of
all denominations, to all heads of families,
tc. observe and keep that day according
to their. several creeds and modes of wor
ship in all humility, and with all religious
solemnity, to the end that the united
prayer of the nation may ascend to the
Throne,of Grace and bring down plenti
ful blesSings upon our country.
In testimony whereof, Etc.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

[ The National Fast.
To the Reverend Clergy of the (rated . ,
States This, the memorial and petition'
of the undersigned, doth most respectfully
set forth, and most earnestly and affection
ately ask, as follows
1. Our behived Chief Magistrate, in
accordance with a -recommendation of
Congress, has; as we are all aware, ap
pointed a day 'of humiliation, prayer, and
fasting
2. The 58th chapter of Isaiah, as every
diligent bible reader is aware, describes
very clearly the kind of
. fast which alone
is acceptable to the Lord.
3. Permit ,me now to ask of you that
in your clerical urinistrations on that day
you read the above neared - chapter as a
scripture lesson.
4. And in your addresses on that day,
will you not instruct your auditors, in ac
cordance with the teachings of the chap
ter above referred to, that, for those in
authority, and for those holding the rights
of others in their hands, the proper style
of tasting is, "to loose the bands of wicked•
• t_
ness,ito undo the heavy burdens, and to
I let the. oppressed go free, &c."; and that
[ for those nrt belonging to either of these
classes, the proper course is to deal bread
to the hungry, to clothe those who suffer
for laek of clothing, to invite the homeless
to their houses, L.
5. !Also in pur prayers on that occa
sion, Will you please heed the scripture
injunetion, to • remember them that are
in bod - /as bound with them "; and will
you Uotettlso enforce upon your hearers
the pfopriety and duty of endeavoring, in
thought and in feeling, to make the case
of the bondmen and bondwomen of our
country their own? And especially in
reference to such of these as manifestly
are sincere christiana,,will you not show
what' can be so easily shown, that to tht it
case', applies the principle so clearly an
houneed by the Savior in Matthew 25th,
thatwhatever is done or not done by us
"to one of the least", of is brethren,"
is accounted by Him as being done or not
done,' to Himself?
6. And finally, in view of the foregoing,
will you not pray, and pray fervently,
hot only that War may soon cease in our
nation, kut also - that, by some adequate
and proper means, this most flagrant of
hum? oppressions, chattel slavery, may
speedily come to au end.
7.: "rind your memorialist and petition
er, as in duty hound, will," with, divine
assistance - faithfully perform his part of
the duty herein asked to be done, whether
this 'appeal shall be heeded or not.
