them in the occupations they have hereto

Weat. The Prendent, on that head, uses

the following Isnguage:

IOCERY STORE TH K undersigned respectfully informs the public that he haa juat received a fine Mertmant of all kinds of

ling ly be responsible through time and in sterility. Ia it true, then, that colored people can displace any more white labor, by being free, than by remaining alaveal If they stay in their old placea, they joBtle no white laborers; if they leeva their old placee, they leave them open to white laborera. Logically, thera is neither mora nor Issa of it." Now, sir, I will not do logic the violence to eay that that ib an argument. He telle

our people, ti ose who supported him be

cauae they believed be and his party intend

feature in relation to theae amendmenta

In the meBtage ha recomenda an amendment to the Consttution as follows: "Abt . Congress may appropriate

money, and otherwise provide for colonizing

free colored persons, with their own con

sent, at any place or placea within the

Ui ited Slates."

In this recommendation he seeks to give

power to do what he claims be haa the

power to do without it; and by thia recom

mendalion he admits he has been exerciaing

unauthorised and illegal authority, la nut

this in itself an admisaion that the Conaitu

Itaa, unamended, granla no power to Con

greBa or the Executive to appropriate or use

tho money of the'people for any purpose

contemplated in this amendment? He calls

upon ua to compromise What compromiae

ib that! ror whom doea he propoae a compromiae? What for? In order that you mar

have more power to advance the negro.

I hat-is all there ia of it, and there ia noth

tug lese of it- He tells us there are differ

ences of opioion among the friends of the

Union - in regard to slavery and ths A'ric.n

face among ua." He aays to all of those who differ with him, surrender your convictions and some to my plan and he calls that compromiae! Compromise! Yes, I trust

in God the dsy ia not far distant when the people of this country will compromise and

ssve the Constitution and the Union lor the

white people, and not for the black people.

Our people are for no other compromise

han that.

Tuero are other portiona of the message

upon which I should like to beetow some

attention, but I will forbear to do so nowi lor I deaire to call the attention of the committee to another proposition of the President connected with this subject. The proclamation of the 22d of September last, iaeued by tbe President, took the country by surprise, ard no one of tha citizens more than myself. I had fondly hoped snd been snxiouB that the President of

respect has our cause the cause of the

Union been advsuc-d! Up tp that time.

throughout the grest N rth-west, you had

but to call for volunteers and th-y rushed to the army. Since then, you hs-e had no

the United Statea should so conduct himeelf ia the high office aa Chief Magistrate, that I

could lend him my support. I have been driven, with thousands of other., into oppo

sition to the policy contained in that pro

clamation, for reasons which must commend themselves to every reflecting man

sincerely desirous of terminating this war

and suppressing the rebellion. Mr. Lincoln, on the 4th of March, 1861,

oa the eaat portico of thia Capitol, took a

from the army.

We are informed tha. Irai a few days be

fore ihe issuing tf this proclamation the

"resident himself dec I a ret', in a conference with some gentlemen who were urging hiiu

to this step, that it would not only be wholly

inoperative iu the object sought, but would

directly weaken ua in the border Slate., but

significantly added that it might increase our

strength in the North. 1 pause here to ir.

quire where that additional strength bj the

North waa to be obtained; not certainly

from ihe Democratic element in Ihe North.

If additional vigor waa infused into the ser

vice, it must come from some other auarter

which until then' had not heartily auatained

the policy of the Administration. I need

not particularise what class of Individual

were to be thus induced to lend their aop

port ihe country well knows tke baleful

influences of this cl.es, and the ends they

seek to sccemplish.

Duttliia Ib not all. The record of the

military operations show to day aimoat con

clusively what the country had for some

considerable lime suspected; that success in

a military point of view was not so much tbe

object sought aa tbe bringing about a con

dition of things when a proclamation of thia

sort could be urged as tha only means of se

curing to oa succees.

Some of the ressono are now before tbe

pnblic why McClellan did not capture Rich

mond. At the last session of Congress I commented on the fact that the armiea of

the Potomac, inatead of being massed, were

divided into five corps, and each corpa under

an independent commander no two of them

co operating together thus enabling maaa

corpa of rebels under Jackson to defeat three

of them, and to unite before Richmond in repulsing McClellan. 1 will not now repeat eh at 1 then said. I refer to tba fact as a link ia the chain of evidence which I ahall to day adduce. Then was, during tha whole time Mc-

Clellan was at the bead ef the army, con-

tinual demands that he ahould advaaee upon

vow, which lie said was registered in Heaven, Richmond. The class of persons wbe raised a dk saVd. At itsM M . .a a a. ' , L ! s.a'asasMa tL. a a

emancipation. This clamor forced from

McClellan his plsn of campaign, as ws are

told by the Prince de Joinville, which tha aaia.. a J s m

reueia (earned in a lew days after it was

known in Washington. Of courao they prepared to meet it. McClellan moved forward from Forlreaa Monroe with over one

hundred thouand men. He approached the

position of the rebela under Msgruder. ex

pecting McDowell to go by snotber roots to cut off ths rstrsat, when they wars drivsn back ; McDowell never reached nor stsrtsd

for tba point tbst be wss to occupy. The rsbele were defestsd and drivsn back: in

stead of their retreat being cut off, lbs read

feat of the rebel army, would have been ths

end of the rebellion.

Ths rsseons for the ttovemenl of the army under McClellan from the James river, so aa to unite it with the ona near Washing, ton, are before the country, and need no

comment from roe. The corresoondencs

between Generale Halleck snd McClellan

vindicates ths one ssd condemns the other.

When Pope's army reUrea to WsshlnetAn

Clellan from tbs James river; when tba

capital is threatened, Maryland invade.

and Pennsylvania msnacsd, McClellan ia

order out of confusion, marches a large army over one hundred miles, and la leas than

twenty days fights two battles, wine them

both, and drives the rebels across ths Potomac; relieves ths Capitsl aud givea courses

to our army. Thinge being in this poaition, on tbe 92d of September the President issues hia proclamation to frss ths aesro. ssd

followa it up by tbe one of the 84th, to make alavsa of wbito men. McClellan refused or

failed to indorae either of them in hia

to tbe army , and then hia removal

decided upon. Hia competency lo command

had nothing to do with his removal. Ha aal

vindicalsd that. Ths Idas of theaa esemls

aeema to ba that proclamationa are all that ia necessary to make war successful. They iasus proclamationa to fret Ike negro, aal

csii mat a vigorous prosecution of the war. Ths cbsrgs thst McClellan failed to rslieve Harper's Perry, ie a mere pretext, get up to order by a commission sf lineal dot-
