Ti e w r will c r use, and the Union opce fhore
be restored in its pristine integrity* but
ck-niired of ihaf foul stain which heretofore
U:ade it the reproach of Christendom., At
length the American question has been finally
and satisfactorily solved.
U ia no' aasy to estimate how utterly pow
.. s and contemptible a Government have
become which could sanction with its approv-
- -iw insensate trash. A few weeks since
trembling for the safety ot its capital—at the
P sent moment unable to force a passage in
the enemy’s territory—it still takes upon
•If 10 di-po-e of property which it is pow
u t a to seize. Nor is the assumed authority
* e Fo ie, il Executive less unconstitutional
than ir is preposterous. l r he President of the
Uni 1 oil Elates has no more power to liberate
:i .-lave iu Virginia than Queen Victoria; arid
for th t mafter neither has the Federal Con
r;i. :. According to the American (’onstitu-
t'u.'i, iii0 :oca] Legislature of each rf'ato pos
. cs the sole power of emancipating the
laves within its confines. But the President
of the United. States has long since discontin
ued the antiquated custom of acting accord
ing to Lav There are few, however, even of
1 noso who have manifested the greatest disre
gard for the laws they have sworn to admin
ister, who have not been more or less sensi
tive to ridicule. A man may brave the pas
sions of an angry mob, but I12 does not like
10 expose himself to be laughed at.
Mr. Lincoln seemingly cares as little for
the ridicule as he does for the anger of the
American people. He must be well aware
that his proclamation will provenbrutum ful-
men. Gen Hunter, not many months since,
in a moment of abolitionist z al emancipated
ail the slaves in South Carolina, but, to the
surprise of everybody, the slaves paid no at
tention to his proclamation, and worked away
harder than ever in throwing up those forti-
i* aliens which insured the subsequent re
pulse of the Federal forces. Does Mr. Liri-
e In suppose that they will pay readier obe-
deui to his manifesto ? Liberty, we should
11 tve supposed, would recommend itself, if at
nil 1 • > a : lave, bv its intrinsic excellence, and
h. th.- mode of manumission would be re-
garded with indifference. If the slaves ot
1 he Southern States desire freedom, it is evi-
• nt ihi-.t they are alone prevented from se
eming it by the superior strength of their
masters. Mr. Lincoln must show how his
- proclamation will weaken that strength be-
i'-re he satisfies the world that it can prove
other than inoperiTtive.
Vv .i’e providing prospectively for the fu-
ur- the present is not neglected. The Chief
V igislrate of the great model republic of
I modern times has proclaimed martial law
iihr6 igho.lt his dominions and suspended the

MB. LINCOLN PLAYS HIS “LAST CARD
CEPTS THE POLICY OF THE “VIOLENT ZEAL
OTS” OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Even iu the crisis of the war, the most im
portant part of the last intelligence refers to
a political, not a military movement. Presi
dent Lincolu has separated himself from the
moderate Republicans, and fully accepted the
extreme policy of the violent zealuis the par
ty includes without combining with them.
Ho has played his last card, llo has declar
ed by a proclamation that iu all the States
that shall not have returned to the Union on
the 1st of January the slaves shall, after that
date, be free. It is a political concession to
the Abolitionist “wing” of the Republican
parly. When the Union existed, its Consti
tution gave no right, either to the Prasident
alone or to the President and Congress com
bined, to abolish slavery. The Abolitionists
assume that the war has conferred the right;
emancipation was a “thunderbolt placed in
the hands” of Mr. Lincoln, with which l)
destroy the South and all its social organiza
tion at a blow. He has accepted the assumed
right, and launched the thnnderbolt. But he
is without the' power to enforce the decree.
The North mmt conqer every square mile of the
Southern States before it can make the pro
clamation more than waste paper. The poli
cy that has dictated the proclamation is very
doubtful. Nothing was needed to deepen the
hatred of the South; but, if anything could
determine it -lo continue the war to the last
extremity, it is the decree. The Democrats
already denounce it as unconditional; the
moderate Republicans condemn it as a meas
ure that can have no practical result It will
have no effect on the South, which has long
acted against an Abolitionist Government of
the North, and anticipated all i: can do by
any kind of legislation. In the North itself
it is likely to Io only another element of con
fusion.
By the Abolitionists, however, it is held to
be a short and easy mode cf compelling a
peace. For the first time both sides gave ut
terance to the word, though the time in which
they pronounce it (litters con .it rably. Ia
the Southern Congress a resolution has been
or is to be proposed, to the effect that the suc
cess of the Confederate arms justifies the Gov
ernment in “sending commissioners to Wash
ington to propose the terms of a just, and
honorable peace.” This, at least, contem
plates an end to the struggle by a settlement,
the terms of which are to be discussed during
a suspension of hestilities. As the South
shows no inability to continue the war, the
offer is reasonable and temperate. The states
man should stand behind the soldier, or war
itself is a miserable and purposeless blunder.
The Northern Government also contemplates
peace, but in a most singular manner. Ex
actly when its military and political powers
are most broken, it threatens. It continues
to refuse ail recognition of existing facts, and
clings to constitutional and legal fictions. It
insists that the storm of war has swept away
nothing, and offers, on certain conditions to
ignore the war itself. In about “ninety
days” hence, or on the first of January, any
State returning representatives, as heretofore,
to the Federal Congress, shall, “in the absence
of strong countervailing testimony,” be con
sidered as not having revolted at all. The
election return shall be “deemed conclusive
evidence” that the State never seceded—or
fought to the death in that condition. There
is strong countervailing testimony in the
bloody battle fields ot Virginia, in the many
thousands of Northern men who lie buried
there, and ihe enormous debt the war has cre
ated. No legal fiction can make such testi
mony as this of no effect. There is some
thing ludicrous in such a proclamation, sol
emnly made by the Federal Government when
its own capital is almost, beleaguered. Im
mense armies did not fight in their sleep, nor
did the tens of thousands perish in a dream,
that the terrible conflict can be so easily for
gotten.
(From the Manchester Guardian, Oct. 7.)
the Manchester cotton men on “‘bunkum ’
Lincoln has no authority, except in a few
spots occupied by his troops, and experience
has already shown that the slaves have no no
tion of accepting his invitation to riso against
their masters. But the harmlessness ot the
proclamation does not excuse its utter want
of principle, and if its concoctors expected it
to produce a favorable impression in Europe,
there is one simple answer to them—ii is too
late. If, when the war liist became inevita
ble,,the Cabinet at Washington had announc
ed that, having been forced to that tatal is
sue, it would not lay down its arms until the
Union was restored on terms providing for
the gradual extinction of slavery, it might
have made it difficult for free nations to sym
pathize with the South. But the Border
States would have been lost, and the civil
war might have extended to the North itself.
The President experienced the proverbial
fate attending an attempt to sit upon two
stools.
It is now too late for him to make a choice,
and on the strength of it to claim the respect
of ilie world. And his new proclamation does
not even announce a choice. It still loaves
the door open for a reconstruction of the
Union, without the slightest practical effort
to reduce the power of slavery. It is impos
sible not to feel that if the South offered to
return on being assured of the permanency
of its favorite institution, President Lincolu
would joyfully welcome it to his embrace,
and we may almost fear that to allure it back
he w. u!d forge-t his own pledge to preserve
the territories uncontaminated. The fact
that his proclamation once more brings for
ward that scheme of negro colonization,
which was denounced iu such indignant elo
quence in a letter we transferred to these col
umns, will not make it more palatable in Eu
rope. We can appreciate the difficulties oi
the situation, but they are difficulties due to
persistence in a false policy, and must not be
overcome by injustice. The real value of the
proclamation is perhaps best shown by the
very 9mair sensation which it appears to have
caused at New York. Plainly no effects are
expected from it in that quarter. Some of
the journals speculate ou what would follow
if it were really operative in proportion to
its profession’s ; but their conclusions refer
more to New Y’ork than to the South.
From the Manchester Examiner, Ool. 6.
It is yet too soon to determine wheclu
President Lincoln’s proclamation has, on po
litical grounds, been dictated by sound poli
cy. That will depend principally upon it
effect on the Border States and the Democrat
ic party throughout the North In other re
spects its tendency will he beneficial. It will
give more weight to the p>arty which is must
zealous for the prosecution of the war; it
can hardly increase the enmity of the South
and it will undoubtedly tend to conciliat
larger amount of sympathy for the North
among foreign nations. It may be that ein.-m
cipation by the sword will lead to the most
serious difficulties, not the least of which will
be the impossibility of providing all at once
tor multitudes of slaves suddenly releas
from bondage, and thrown upon their milita
ry deliverers for support. It may possibly
lead to much bloodshed, to lamentable exces
and social anarchy. In the advances and rc
(reals of the Federal armies the poor black
often be reduced to the desperate alter
native of quietiy clinging to servitude, or
seizing the welcome boon at the risk of being
left to the vengeance of their masters on the
morrow, of a Federal defeat. A large por
tion of the Northern population are not over
charged with kindness to the negro, whose
cause they unwillingly champion aud whom
they too often heartily hate. S.ill, with all
this, there is a magic iu the name of freedom
which will draw blessings down upon the
banners on which it is inscribed. All this is
on the supposition that the armies ot the
North will penetrate and occupy large por
tions oi the seceded States. If not, of course
the proclamation will be so much waste pa
but time ia absolutely necessary. It must bo
observed, however, that (his civil war
Las shown that the Union is in danger while
slavery exists ; that many think it is desira
ble to get rid of it, and that now is the time.
Experiment in several of the slave States has
shown that white labor is quite adequate to
the production of those agricultural article-,
in the production of which negroes are em
ployed. The removal of the slaves would,
therefore, accomplish two desirable objects—
tnc safety of the Union, and the increase and
employment of a white population ; but alas!
iu our generation this is impossible, without
a terrible outrage on humanity. The Consti
tution in a question goes for nothing, if the
plan be successful. Iu largo politics, success
practically justifies every wrong.

Viewing President Lincoln’s proclamation
in its immediate effect ou the prosecution of
(I10 war, there is every reason to believe that
it will induce the great border of Kentucky,
which has hitherto wavered between the North
and the South, to join the South wilh its
whole strength immediately, and that it ail!
induce the other two border States of Ma
ryland and Missori to do so at the earliest
opportunity. Viewed with reference to the
interest of the war, or the prospects of re -
stroing the Union, it is an enormous blunder.

From the Liverpool Doit, Oct. 7.
WHAT LIVERPOOL THINKS OF THE MEASURE.
W r e regard the news brought by the Aus
tralian as the most serious and the, most im
portant which has for several months been
received from America. Physical force ad
mits of tolerable easy calculation. Battles
may be won or lost, but the result of all bat
tles, after all, mainly depends upon the ope
rations of a concealed force—a moral force.
McClellan has taken home victories to Wash-
ngton, and his troops have been praised fer
their valor they displayed in the field of bai-
tie The Government at Washington, howev
er, have evoked another power—amoral pow-
an,d although they probably suppose ther
never will arise an occasion for putting it in
to operation, the mere announcement of it is
full of danger to America, to Europe, and to
umanity.
Has the proclamation been i.-sued in refer
ence to a knowledge of the state of things in
Richmond aud in the Confederate camp 7—
tias Mr. Lincoln persuaded himself that the
recent victories, tne augmented forces in tne
field, and the moral force whiehhe has called
to the aid of his army, will induce the Seces
stonist leaders to ask for a campromise ? The
probability is, however, that if this be hi3
calculation, he is mistaken; yet it is impos
sible to consider carefully the nature of his
proclamation without wishing that the means
could be found to prevent the terrible results
which are certain to follow the publication ot
thfit proclamation in the slave States. It is
perfect foolishness to suppose for a moment
that four millions of rude men can be traus-
pof^d a thousand miles away from the homes
they now occupy, by any means avail-
