The President of the United Stages is the commander-in-chief of the army in. the field and navy on the waters, and cu the let of January, 135o, "by virtue of the power in him vested as commaader-in-chief of the Army and navy of the United States," declared certain states to be then ia rebellion against the United-States; and he further decltrei that all slaves tn the said states "-arc and henceforward shall be free " and this afief ' two uarn:ny proclamation?..

HOI.) If the property of an enemy oe oi a aangcrous cnaracier, so. mat its existence imperils the success ot self-preservation, ' orif it be such as has been, or may be, used with effect against, us,, to prolong the war, wo violate I the clearest dictates of prudence if we necrlect an v I opportunity te'deprlve the enemy of it. Thus of ammunition, of quartermasters' ad, commissary stores ; thus, also, of forts, intrenchments, and. the like. Let us apply these principles to the present casa. Certain public enemies, with the same rights (and no other) as alien enemies have, held within the insurrectionary states, claims to the service or iabor for life of some three millions of persons. This class of claims is beyond all else, such property, as imperils .military success ; such as augmeols the enemy's strength such as . enables him. to make war," nay, gives him aid on ajscale'so. vast, that without it the war, would have terminated long since, fer it was the boast, of Davis that the slaves could fad the urmr. v, and all white men o uid go into .the field. - It is rot quartermasters' and commissary, stores, but it is that which supplies both. Il is not forts or in trenchments, but it' seems, to build, the one, and -.throw bo the oihsr. as much 00 as- the spade itself-' : The - resources of the rebel', government cannot more eflectca illy be crippled" than by destroying thi.all.. SlaVery.was the cause of; it Nor is thiVnil. SlaVery war ; s daagerous character was acknowledged by the fathers" of the republic, as 4 the reek upoir which tie old union would split." Docs interna tional law exempt such claims from service? Vat tel says.; Among the. things belonging te the enemy are likewisejneorporeal things all rights, claims and debts." Therefore the commander-in-a'aief was right when he. cancelled the claims to service and labor of property that tended in the greatest degree to the destruction of the fovern ment.
