The Pence Pioclaiiaatha.
The President has issued his proela
mulion, a few days sinee, declaring the
late “insurrection” atanend. History
will record the fact that it ended twelve
months ago. What then could be the
object of the President in issuing a
solemn State document to inform the
world of* fact which passed into histo
ry one year before?
This is a question about which there
seetus lo be much contrariety of opin
ion. Some are of the opinion, that the
President meant nothing, while
otlieri arc of the opinion that he meant
much more than he can do. In our
opinion, ho meant by the proclamation
to restore the people of the Southern
States, as political communities, to all
the rights enjoyed by them, as members
of the old Union previous lo tfie war,
except the "gilt of representation
We have never read a document which
horo stronger indications of care and
deliberation. And to sy that such a
proclamation means nothing, is to say
that the President has intentionally
made an ass of himself in the eves of an
enlightened world. Such a conclusion
seems to u* absurd. To us, it is evi
dent that he intended to use all the pow
ers of his high office, lor the complete
restoration of the Southern States. He
makes an elaborate effort to Glow the
intention of the United States govern •
luent towards the rebel States, in the
prosecution of war as indicated in the
various proclamations cf the President
anil the acts and resolutions of Congress
for the last five years—since the fust be
ginning of the war, and proves to every
candid mind that the whole object of
the government has been accomplished.
What tliet’ remains to be done? noth
ing but the provlamation of the Presi
dent for complet* restoration. The
President has power to declare when
ami what Slates are in rebellion. He
also has (tower, when, in his judge
ment, it becomes proper to declare re
bellion at an end and icstore the civil
law. It is a favorite doctrine with him
as with all the Slates North, that wc of
the South only forfeited our rights by
rebellion. Paid on lias already been
granted to the great mass of
who participated in that rebellion. A*
the !o*s ol our right, depend on the be*
ginning and continuance of the rebell
ion. so the end of the rebellion will
bring a restoration of our rights. This
ts the proposition ol the proclamation
and tf the premises be admitted we ser
no wav dodging the conclusion. Con
gress his repeatedly, in the last five
vears, pledged itselt that when we
grounded our arms, wc should be re
stored to all our rights. The President
declares that these arms have been
grounded, ergo by the law of the land
we can no longer be treated as rebels—
ergo we are entitled lo all our rights,
and it becomes the sworn duty of the
Executive to see that the protecting
.F.gie of the Constitution is extended
over her hither.o erring children. We
sav tlist proclamation means this, or it
it worse than nonsense. Theexi tsnee
of rebellion made necessary the sus
pension ot the writ of Hahr/ts Corpus.
the abrogation of the civil law and a
subjection o(i the country to military
rule* Theser are the burdens of which
we have heretofore complained.
The President recites these things as
grsat ev.is, inconsistent with the en
joyment of peace and happiness and
destructive of all government. They
ought not to exist. Did he Aimply
mean by this declaration that we might
expect in some future day he would
take steps to relieve us of these but
dens? The evils are within his power
to a very great extent to cure; did
he mean simply to excite in our bosoms
a feeble hope that we might look for
something better in the future? Such a
course would be but adding insult to
injury. We needed not to be told that
subjection to military rule was an evil,
and a grievous burden. He that is
sick, needs medicines to heal or correct
fiis system, no one need not tell him
he will die if he tloes not get well.
How rediculous would it seem in
the President to declare, through a sol
emn state document, that the country
was sorely afflicted with great evils,
and, therefore, I, Andy Johnson, Presi
dent, am sorry for it, and can do
nothing to prevent it, and yet this
would be the effect of the interpetalion
that many place on the proclamation.
The suspension and restoration of tlie
writ of habeas corpus is entirely in the
power of the President. He is limited
in the time and occasion bv the consti
tution. lie now says there is no oc
casion for Us suspension. Such be
ing the case, he therefore issues his
proclamation—for what ?to continue the
suspension say sonic? for its restora
tion we say by all means. Willi thesa
views we bid an affectionate farewell
to military rule and tyranny and
"the thousand ills it is heir to.”
Atlanta. —Not in the records of
the history ol this country is there a
parallel to be found to that ol this city.
But a few fleeting months have elapsed
since she was a sea of ruins—a vast
pile of brick-dust and ashes ; her streets
were almost forsaken, and her solitary
walls had become a refuge for owls and
bats. Detsolation was inscribed upon
her very pavements. But now look at
her as she lift* her giant proportions to
the view of an admiring world. The
hand of the architect has touched her
solitary walls, as if by magic, and from
her bed of ashes site has risen in splen
dour and magnificence far beyond her
former status, anil still site continues to
rise, higher and higher, in the scale of
grandeur, and will soon become, if not
already, the glory of the State and the
pride of the South.
And why not: Why should site
not be the gti at commercial marl of the
State? With her enterprising popula
tion, commanding position and extra
ordinary facilities for transportation,
she is destined to become second in
importance to no city in the State, if in
the South. Her merchants and busi
ness men are doing all in their power
to draw the wholesale trade Iroin the
surrounding sections of country, bv of
fering such inducements as will make
it to their interest to trade there We
were assured, upon undisputed author
ity, last week, that common prints were
selling at 12j to 13 cents a yard. In
fact, we saw it published in a handbill.
Can New A ork do better than this?—
But ll must be remembered that these
are wholesale price's. By the retail
gootls are about as cheap here as they
are there.
Atlanta is our own door city, and in
stead ol lending our means to help her
along, we are disposed to contribute
them towards building up the cities of
other States. This is all wrong. If
we would be a great and independent
people, and want 'our State to be re
spected. wc should turn our attention
and exert our means and influence in
advancing home interests. Atlanta suf*
tcied as bad. if not worse, than anv oth
er city in the South in proportion to
population, by the catoalnies of w ar,
and should, therefore, command our
sympathies and assistance.
The Civil rights hill which nas pass
ed both houses of Congress, and only
w ills the signature of tbe President to
become a law. is a measure calculated
to effect ms’ernl changes in American
government and society. It is the first
attempt to put the fimatical theory of
"human rights.” on which it professes
to be based, into practice, and to ex
tend the protection of the Federal au
thoritv over all clashes and race* occu
pying the national soil. It is simply a
scheme ot Centralisation ingeniously
devised, and will, in ali probability, be
returned to the Senate where it origin
ated. as wis the Freedmen’s Bureau

TH* REBELLION AT AN KNJ>.
Washington. April 2.
Whereas, by proclamations on the
1 Sill siul 19th of April, one thousand
eight hundred anti sixty-one, the Pres
ident of the U’nied States, by virtue
of the power vested in him by the run
stitutiosi and the law, declared that the
laws of the United States were oppos
ed and the execution thereof was ob
structed in the States of South Caroli
na, Georgia. Alabama, Florida, Missis
sippi, Louisiana and Texas, by com
binations ti.o powerful to be suppress
ed by the ordinary course of judicial
proceedings, or by the powers vested
in the marshals by law ; and, whereas,
by another proclamation, made on the
Khh day of August in the same year, in
pursuance of an act of Congress, ap.
proved JjtJy, 13, 18CK the inhabitants
of Georgia. South Carolina. Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama,
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas. Missis
sif-pt and Florida,excepting the inhab
itant* of that part of this State of Vir
ginia lying west of the Alleghany
mountains and to such other parts of
that StSfe nnd the other States before
named as might maintain a loyal adhe
sion to the Union and the constitution,
or might be from time to time occupied
and controlled by the forces ol the
United Slates engaged in the disper
sion of insurgents, wore declared to he
in a state of insurrection against the
United Status.
Wherea*. by another pioclnmation
of ihe Ist of July, 1862. issued in pur
suance of an act of Congress, approv
ed January. 7<b, in aame year, the in
surrection was declared to be still ex
isting in the States aforesaid, with the
exception of certain specified counties
ii the State of Virginia ; and, whereas,
by another proclamation, made oil the
S.d of April, 1863, in pursuance of the
set of Congress of July, 13th, 1861,
he exceptions earned in the proclama
tion of August 16th, 1861. were revok
ed, and the inhabitants of the States of
Georgia, Smith Carolina, Tennessee,
Alabama, Louisiana. Texas, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Florida and Virginia, ex
cept the forty-eight counties of Virgin
ia, designat'd as Western Virginia.avid
the [ions of New Orleans, Key West,
Port Royal and Beaufort.
A*d whereas, by another proclama
tion on the Ist day of July, 1862
passed in pursuance ol an act of Con
gress, approved June the 17, in the
same year, the insurrection declared to
be existingia the States aforesaid, with
tit* exception of certain specified coun
ties in the State of Virginia; anti
wher*as, by another proclamation made
on the 2d day of April, 1863, in pur
suance if an act of Congress of July
13, 1861,the exceptions named in the
proclamation of August 16, 1/861, were
revoked, and the inability oftiie States
of Georgia, South Carolina, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisi
ana, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi,
Florida and Virginia, except the forty
eight counties of Virginia designated
West Virginia, and the ports of New
Orleans, Key West, Fort Royal and
Beaufort, S. C. were declared to be in
a state of insurrection against the
United Slates; and whereas, the Houst
ol Representatives on the 22d of July,
1861, adopted resolutions in the words
following, vtz ;
“Resolved hy the House of Represen
tatives, i j'c, That the present deplora
ble civil war lias been forced upon the
country, by the disunionists of the
Southern Statss, now in rebellion a
gainst constitutional government, and
in arms around the Capital; that in
this national emergency Congress ban
isbing ail fee Rings of resentment, will
doonly its duty tothe whole country;
that th# war is not waged on our part
in ant spirit of oppression, nor for any
purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor
for the purpose of overthrowing or in
terfering with the established institu
tions of those States, but to maintain
and defend the supremacy of the (''in
stitution, and to preserve the Union
with aii its dignit) equally, and th<-
rights of the several States unimpair
ed, and as soon aft these objects are ac
complished the war ought to ceasu.”
And whereas, these resolutions,
though not joint or current, form #ub
stmtiaby. and may be regarded as hav
ing expressed the sense of Congress
upon the subject to which they relate.
And VU’ereas, by ny proclamation of
thelStb of June last, the insurrection
in the IState of Tennessee was declar
ed to hare ben surppressed, the au
thority of the United Stales therein to
he undisputed, and such United States
officers as had been duly commiission
ed to be in the undisputed eierctse ol
their official functions.
And, whereas, there now exists no
organized armed residences of mis
guided citizens, nor others, to the
authority of the United States, in the
Slates of Georgia, South Carolina, Vir
ginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Louisiana. Aikansas. Missis
sippi and Fiorina, artil the laws can be
sus.ained and enforced therein by the
proper civil authority ot the State or
Federal Government, and the people
of the said States are w#il and loyally
disposed and have conformed, or will
conform in their Legislatures, to the
condition cf affairs growing out of the
American Constitution oi the United
States pro! ibiting slavery within the
limns and jurisdiction of ihe United
States.
And, w hsreas, in view of tbe before
rected premises, it is the manifest de
termination of the American people
that no State, of us own will, have the
right or the power to go out of, or sep
arate itself from, or be separated from
the American Uutoc, and that, there
fore, each State ought to remain am!
constitute an integral part of the Uuiled
States.
Whereas, the people of the several
before-mentioned States, have, in the
manned aforesaid, given salisfaetoty ev
idence that they acquiesce in this im
portant resolution of the National
Union, and
Whereas, it is believed to be the
‘fundamental principle of the Govern
ment that the people who have revol
ted, and who have been overcome and
subdued, must be dealt with, so as to
induce them to become friends, or else
they must be held by absolute military
power so as to prevent them from ever
□gain doing harm as enemies, which
hist-named policy is abhorrent to hu
manity and freedom, and
Whereas, tiie Constitution of the
United States provides for Constitu
tional compact only asHStates, and not
as Territories, and provides piotector
ates, and
Whereas, by such Constitution the
Stales must necessarily be, and by the
Constitution and laws of the United
States tire made equals, and placed on
a like looting as to political rights, in
dignity and favor with the several
Statf s with which they are united ; and
whereas, the observance of political e
qualny as a principle of right, of jus
tice, is well calculated to encourage
tiie people of the States to he and be
come more and mure constant and
persevering in their renewal pf their
allegiance; and whereas, standing mil
itary occupation, martial law and sus
pension of the privilege of writ of habeas
corpus are in time of peace dangerous
to the public interest and incompatible
with the individual right of citizens;
contrary to the genius and spirit of our
tree institution, and exhaustion of' the
national interest, and ought not, there
fore, be sanctioned or allowed, except in
the case of war for repelling invaders,
or suppressing insurrection, or rebel
lion; and whereas, the policy of the
government of the United Suites, from
the beginning of the insurrection t" its
final suppression, lias been in conform
ity with the principle herein set forth
and enumerated.
Therefore. I Andrew Johnson, Pres
ident of the United States, do hereby
proclaim and declare that the iiisur
reetion which heretofore existed in the
States of Georgia. South Carolina,
North Carolina, Virginia, Louisi ma.
Alabama, Arkansas. Mississippi. Texas
and Florida, is at at an end, anti lienee
forth to be so regarded.

President Johnson's Appeal *.o
the People.
The issue between the President ami
lii* oponents is now bmadly and clear
ly tlefin and. There can be no mistak.
ing it, no evading it, no explainin ; it
away. In bis first veto me-snge. and
in his grand speech of the 22d of Feb
nary. President Johnson bo!ti 1 \ h
line, between himself and the radical*;
out they have since be n ! iv ti
to obliterate these utterances :i mii
mind* of the people. For ;• •
pose That!, Stevens insulted tin U *.
and gave the world the lowest dosi
ble estimate ol the intelligence "I his
constituents b> declaring that tht ref
ident’s speech was only t o ix I u
this purpose Senator Slu rma w-nt
down to Connect u: to tl lode them
by arguing that the differences between
the President am! Congress were im
material. For this purpo*. tee lu,, r<
of the radical journals It iv. il ,• i
columns, day Iter day, with hog us .
ports as t" who the President and I
to this radical 'Hat >r or otic . i:,
radical dele ate. For this purpo-n v
violent abuse "I the President tn the
radicals has been temporarily üb. ndoti
ed; t nd some oi them have ev en school
ed themselves to spe.>x ot him respect
fully. A nil tor tin* purpose, Horace
Me \ nani, one ol .lie excluded ( ..u
gressuicii iroin tne President's own
State, has uren sent around to cun
try to tell tin* people that the Union is
restored, and tfiat all me rights ol the
South are restored also. Tins second
veto iii-ssage dispels the illusions
which these politicians have been en
deavoring lo create. It reminds ns
that eleven Stales are sttil out ol the
Uuion. It points us to the danger of a
mongrel republic. It is the President’s
appeal to tile people against the poli
ticians, and bj the people tie will to
sustaiin and.
l lie tirsi vein message ot Pn sideiil
Johnson convinced the leading men of
Europe that lie is a great statesman.
His spreen on the 22d of Febuary has
been universally accepted as a in ,*tc r
piece w inch no prince born to the pur
ple cloud posSioly ti. ve equal! and.-
This s coild veto message wtil add to
his popufaiity lieie ; ml mil increase
the respect cut*, ta. led l.#r non .broad.
Its clear, cairn, coiiciu.-tve annalist*
ol the Civil Rights ht.l; its scathing
exp sur o| ilie lauit* and defects ol the
tncavurc, and its eloquum statement of
the policy winch Hie President lias de
liberately adopted, and to which h#
intends to adhere, are such as would
mike the reputation of any other offi
cial; but they can only strengthen the
reputation of President Johnson.—
S"ine Congressmen who profess to be
Ins friends and voted for tins bill; some
61 his supporter# who had not examin
ed the Subject with euSicnent attention,
presumed and predicted that he would
giv the hill his signature; but, with a
keener insight and more infallible sa
gacity, Mr. Johnson at once detected
the dangerjof this special legislation,
and the evils with which this meas
ure fraught. With the indomitable
pluck which Americans so much ad.
mite, and which wu. have seen incarn
ated in a Jackson, in a Grant, a Sher
man and a Sheridan, the President
substituted a veto for ft is signature, and
sent the bill back to the Senate, where
it originated. What the Senators may
do with it is of no consequence. Tin
or three of them may be til, and the
veto may be disregarded, or by a very
close vote may be endorsed, in either
case the position of the President will
not be affected. lie looks beyond
Congress; he appeals to the people,
and by the people he will be almost
unanimuusly sustained.
The veto message irrefutably that
the radicals design to make this a uviri
gral government, li has unyi.isked
them; they can no longer maintain their
hypocritical pretence ol phihnihropj .
They hope and expect to come, the
right of suffrage upon the negroes; to
elect negror members ot Congress iroin
the Southern States; to male negroes
eligible lor the highest 'dice a the
land. Che political equality of Hie
blacks thus conceded, how - . an o.ur
social equality be denied ! f uvy must
be perm tiled to propose marriage to
our daughters; to set at the table with
white persons; to mingle familiarly
in tiie best Society. For the sake of
three million of negroes forty million
ot white people have been already in
volved hi eivil war; half of a great
nation has been crippled and desolated;
a debt has been placed upon out citi
zens; blood lias been poured out Lite
water; precious lives have he>-ii ruth*
iersiy sac’diced; but this is not enough.
Now, lor tiie the sake ofihree millions
of negroes, the white people of tins
country are asked to submit to the a

exclusion ol eleven States from the
