The above is the stringent, amnesty
oath that was taken by every citizen
ot JNorth Carolina, under the Procla-
mation ot President Johnson. Is it
null and void or is it in full operation,
and binding upon the conscience of all
who took it ? If this be the case, as all
adicals admit, then it requires no ar
gument to prove that , all who have
aken this stringent oath, have volun
tarily sworn in the presence of Almighty
God, to. oppose all the reconstruction
awse of ; Congress ; if the late : Thad,
Stevens, Judge Pearson and other
n'omineut radicals, are correct when
hey declare that all the reconstruction-
measures are outside of the constitu
tion, or extra-constitutional; ' . .

to answer, for the benefit of the delu

THE NEW INTERNAL REVENUE
' v".'- LAW. '
There is much inquiry for the action
of Congress at its recent session in re
ference to the internal tax laws. The
Philadelphia Ledger has received a
copy, covering some sixty closely prin
ted pages, arid gives the following ab
stract of those sections of the law of
particular general importance :
Section 45. Distillers, rectifiers and
wholesale dealers, mixers of liquors,
to keep books of daily purchases and
sales, names of parties from whom

Extract from noldenVs paierof Oe
tober 8th 1SG2: f
'f The proclamation ' of Abraham
iincbln, ; which' we published Mn our
ast, assuming the right to emancipate
he slaves ot the.-bouth, is one of tho
most MONSTROUSLY- WICKED
DOCUMENTS'- that' ever emanated
rom human authority. It breathes.
in every line, the S)irit and the pur-.
lose ot the INlRNAL REGIONS.'
f this proclamation'' could be carried
out, it would consign the whites and'
blacks ot the .North, American conti-,
uent to one common ruin.
And, this is an abolition measure,
designed to benefit the black race 1 It
icould extinguish that race in less than
ten years. Emancipation once offered, a
struggle would commence between the
wo races i'or the mastery. JJvery
one hnoics now that struaule would' -
terminate Pour millions of blacks
would soon be reduced to a mere hand
ful. They would be slaughtered by the
whites, UNTIL EVERY HILL AND
VALLEY IN THE SOUTH WOULD
BE STAINED WITH H LOOD. They
icould disappear like- the mist of the mom
ing, and before any direct attempt
could be made to colonize them. And
this is the doom to which the abolition
ists, with Lincoln at their head, would
consign the slave. v
Great Britain and France, in their
acts of emancipation, exhibited some
forethought and some of the principles'.
ot chrisxanity, though, they ..committed'
a fatal mistake as to the well-being
and prosperity of both races ; but here
is an edict, Oy the . head of a so-called
Vhiristian people, ichich not only violates
palpably and grossly the Constitution of
his country, but.which, if successtul m
its operation, would make four millions
ot innocent creatures, panics to a bloudu
struggle 'and, by arraying them against
their masters, who are thev best Jriends,
would inevitably lead to their destruction
AS THE ONLY MEANS LEFT OF
PRESERVING THE WHITE HACK.
Such a measure would male a JTayti
of tlie South and a Pandemonium of the
Worth., It would utterly desolate the
former and if the latter could stand
by. and command or permit such a
measure to be consummated, with all
the horrors which would follow, rr
WOULD WRIT; ITSELF PoWN IN HIS
TORY AS WORTHY OF THE WORST EM
INENCE AMONG FIENDS.
Its deified Union, thus cemented bi.
smoling blood, and founded anew on pile
of human bones, would stand out an
the GREATEST. MORAL OR POL
ITICAL MONSTER ever known in
the history of mankind. JBnt will the
Northern people consent to this meas
ure f. Will they approve it ! If they
do, w e may look for an indefinite con
tinuance of war, and for still greater
suffering and sacrifices.
Twenty holding Northern Statesmen,
like Pierce and Fillmore, if they .would
secretly combine, and simultaneously
assail -"this proclamation at different
points, might rouse and embody , i
spirit which would HURL LINCOLN
FROM HIS PLACE; .but we fear
that there is no prospect' that' such a
movement will be made. - f ? v
Abolitionism, in its worst; form, npr
pears to ?ha vq absolute coutrol of the
Northern mind, and Northern coun
cils. "lYUm ingtoii Star, ' ; "
