(To the judgment of the country and the world it may be safely left. No loyal mau, no patriot, no man who sincerely and. Ardently loves bis country and save its government, will raise bis voice agaiust it. , And the voices of all such as may, will soon be hushed in a worse than njidnigtit stillness, as the tide of public opinion shall sWcep oVcf and htosh them.

These proclamations are an earnest that the Presidfebt has Unflinchingly determined that an end shall now be speedily put to the eakw; of our national disturbances and the nrctimires and half treasonable utterances which have so successfully impeded the Government in suppressing treason and rebellion. These manifestos were absolutely rofjUjrcd by the threatening exigencies of the Uuios, and they coinc not a single hour too; soon. whoso wise utt«rspQes can be distinctly seen tlic down fall, the end, ultimately, of slavery, the guarantee that thtD Union is gav«d.

The Wants of thq Pt'Qph' dnlf.CoBslierei ! Mtssae Editors : One of the most interesting, exciting und lively duys that was ever witnessed in Hyde Park, was Thurs» day, Sept. 18th. What attached so much importance, and collected together a groat crowd of people on that day was a notice given to our people that two government officers with a supply of eJfc'mption papers would be stationed here on that day, and all who clrfimed extfttljvtiem from the coming draft were invited to come forward and present their claims. A host of our peopleD'(their name is legion, for there were many of them) responded to the oall, uud who. were troubled with some afllictious of very lopg standing, which had buffed the skill of the most eiperienoed physicians, which, in tdicir opinion, most effectually disqualified them from being fit subjects for military duty. All the ills that flesh is heir to had faithful representatives hC'rc oh that day. The streets Were thronged with these afflicted people, from 6 O'clock in the morningtill late at night, who had come here from Abington, Newton, Providenoe, Olyphant, and from beyond the mountain, and such a sight we never saw before. If all the siek and wounded of the armies of the world froui the creation ta this day were oollectcd together, they would not present a more sickley, pitiful, and woebegone countenauces than did the.se poor fellows on that day. It made me think of tho time of Christ and his Apostles, when the lame, the deaf, the blind, and those possessed with dsvils would oome from all parts to be healed. To an observer, the change here appeared as miraculous as in those days with this exception, those possessed with devils would return apparently as full of the old fellow us ever, all other ills were cured most effectually by the exemption papers. It was easy telling who got thc'ir exemption from those who did not. They would approach the officc fall of infirmities, generally afflicted with lameness, could not* possibly walk thero without the assistance ofi a cane, would return soon, forgetting their cane and the pain in the leg too, walking away as r.imblo as an actor. The deaf, who could not hear the report df a hundred pounder fired under his nose, could now hear distinctly tho lowest whisper. The almost blind who saw men as trees walking, could now see a fly pcrohed on tho church steeple, &o. Many of tho boys managed to work their way through pretty successfully, while others were not so fortunate, beiug caught by the strategy of tho examining physician, such as the following, that occurred between the physician and one of, the claimants: e. kc/on,—ATTORNEY AT LAW.—Of- I I, flee in the Butler House, Main street, Ptttstoa.

In tlic armies of the Union there are three classes of men. In ono of these are those who arc virtual seeewuonists. They pro/a* to JDq Uuipa woo, but their sympathies and UopeSiare with the enemy, they perfidiously pretend to light. Ill the next, there is a class of adventurers who care bat littlo-fiemr long war may last, provided the "green backs" fall Vuffieientfy fust and uitinerous into pockets never lilled with " yeUw boys'' acquired by their own mental or physical abilities or business capacities Among J,h so two classes, arc the otfjeers who manage, control and give directiou to this war. It is from these men that utterances alone are heard agjbnat the President's great proclamation. Prom them alotie are heard the silly threats of resignation, alleging as a reason, that the President'has goneoVor to the Abolitionists ittldthe war turned into a war for negro emancipation. Let them write out theirC resignations and present them to the Presidwit. They will certainly be nceepted, their tshouldors relieved of their straps and. names stricken from the roll of ofiicors. But of such there is no foar they will resign. The third class is composed of a portion, of. the superior officers, the subordinate ones and the rank and file—men who have left their homes, families and business to war in earnest for the preservation of the Union. Tliey arc loyal and fight with the single purposo of putting down the rebellion, willingly availing themselves of every legitimate means and appliance to qccomplish.tbat object-— They would pull down tho oligarchy of tho rebelling state*, rather than by indiffereuco or compensation, for services in which there is no soul, no real heart, prolong this demoralizing war. Eighteen iponths have passed since the rebels commenced war for the overthrow of the government. What has been in reality accomplished by the loss of thousands upon thousands of men on the battle field and in the government hospitals, by the loss of millions of property, by tbe incarceration in southern jails and dungeons of thousands of Idyal, brave Union soldiers and the expenditure of; nearly eight millions of the nation'» .treasure '( What has been gained by the loss of a father, son, uncle, nephew, and friend from nearly every homestead in tho north T The rebellion is not suppressed, nor have all these sacrifices yet saved the, Union. Our armies havo been fighting the rebellion' but riot its cause. Our leaders have persistently attempted to save the Union and the cause which threatens its destruction—slavery. They havo attempted what an experience of eighteen months ware fare has deifcon' strated to be nn impossibility. The ono or the other must fall. President Lincoln ! has determined that the Union shall not be crushed. lie tfoW gives' the peop'lo of the disloyal states and parts of states fair, unequivocal, unmistakable notice that, oh the first day of January, 1863, if they shall then bo lound in rebellion to the Government, their slaves will be emancipated -freed from their bondage, from the obligations of the iniquitous laws of those who themselves neither respect tho laws, nor the sacred obligations of the solemn oath they have taken. Tptho60 traitors he explioitely declares that the Executive governmfent of tbe United States, in' eluding the military and naval authority thereof will. riicdgiiue and maintain the freedom of such persons, aud will do no aot or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in aa/ effort they uDay make for their actual freedom. By loyal men everywhere Who believe tho Union of these states to be higher, holier arid paramount to all aud everything beside, and for it, would utcifitipo every other all that | stands in th« w*y of its preservation, will j | hail the proclamation of the President with joy and thanks.

Y„ Foreign and Domestic MARBLE, ElDnolts Gazktil : Tiio f*rcat event of tliis week in ibo city C•)' the Nation's ('upitol, is President Lincoln's proclamation, i«sucd on Tuesday Inst, to the people of tho States whose bands nrc raised in wicked rebellion against the Union. On the wings of tbo telegraph ii lias been carried from the Nation's ccntrc to the extreme bounds of its borders, and is now the subject of favorable cotnmcnt and approval or harsh criticism and invective of the entire American people. From the Kxecutivc department of this great republic—from no department of this government, thcro has never, since the adoption of the Constitution, cminated a document of equal importance. As it is the subject of discussion in the oiSccs of tbo Departments, in the halls and reading rooms of the Hotels of Washington, on the stroet corners, in the counting rooms and places of business, among the employees at the Arsenal and Navy Yard, indeed everywhere and with everybody in the immediate vicinity of tho President's Mansion, so it is with everybody and everywhere in all ihe loyal states, and among their twenty millions of people. It is. the subject of diseussion, earnest and reflection among the officers and soldiers of the Union armies, from the Capes to the borders of civilization in the great Wost. It is also the subject of commont and sarcasm among rebel officers, rebel politicians and superanuated rebel statesmen. Impudent and reckless, they laugh at and scorn the idea that, alter the first day of January next, the slaves of all the states and parts of states then in rebellion against the United States, shall bo then, thenceforward and forever free. Flushed ™!th \viiat they term a victory in saving their rebel Capitol from capture by the army of the Potomac in July last, emboldened to invade Maryland and threaten an invasion into Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iudiana and Kansas, because they had driven tho army of Virginia from the Rapidan to and within tho entrenchments about the city of Washington in August last, the [traitors of the south doubtless ridicule the idea that tho Executive government of the United States will" be able " to recognize aud maintain the freedom of such persons," staves. How much they may bo dispirited by tho failure of the Maryland traitors and secessionists to fulfill their extravagant and unwarantod promises made to tho invading traitors from Virginia and the south, or dUpiritod by tho uprising of tho whole people of Pennsylvania and Ohio, and their march in solid columns to their borders to repel tbo agressions which treason threatened to mak« on the sacred soil of loyal citizens in loyal states, or how keenly they feel the severe oastigation they last week received at the hands of the brave Union soldiers on the upper waters of tho Potomac is, of course, unknown. But, in the extremity in which they are known to be for food, clothing and all the necessities of an artuy for subsistunce and success, they oannot feel highly flattered by their reception in Maryland of on the Potomac by the men who fight to preserve the liberties of the people and country, Again* the President's proclamation is the subjcot of acrimonious comment by northern traitors—-by that class of men jn the north who sympathize with treason, and if sincere in their professions, would sooner see the Union crumbled in ruing than see the cause, the blasting ourse of a free govornmenl, uprooted, overthrown aud forever removed.
