Saturday Morning, Sept. 27,1862.
John Quincy Adams on the Powers of tlir
Federal Government.
In the Advertiser of Sept. 24lli, in an article
showing “tlic difference between using and
abolishing slavery in suppressing the rebel
lion,” is the following proposition:
Both in a war with foreign powers, and no
less in one against rebellion in a state, the
Federal Government's highest and chiefcst
duty is, to preserve each state all its institu
tions. and all its iiroperty,and all the property
of its citizens, to the utmost ability of the
Federal Government. There can lie no such
thing as a military necessity, on the part ol
tlie Federal Government, I'or destroying any
state constitution, or any state institution,&e.
Tlie doctrine here laid down in relation to
the rights and powers of the Faderal Govern
ment, and their limitations even when assail
ed by a state in armed rebellion, is a mere as
sumption ou the part of the newly-installed
editor of tlie Advertiser, without one word of
argument in its sup|>ort ITaving laid down
his broad propositions, ami defined tlie limita
tions of tlie government equally in a foreign
and a civil war, and having made tlie broad,
startling assertion that “THERE CAN HE NO
SUCH A THING AS A MILITARY NE
CESSITY” for tlie Federal Government to
destroy any state institution, tlie editor of the
Advertiser proceeds to quote authorities, and
to this end he refers to an occurrence during
the war with England, in 1812—15, in which a
British naval officer issued a proclamation, un
derstood to be a proclamation of freedom to
the slaves of the South. He quotes John Q.
Adams, not only as minister to London but al
so subsequently as Secretary of State under
Mr. Monroe, to show that the British officer
had no lawful authority to give freedom to
slaves helomrine to citizens of the United
States. Mr. Adams is also quoted in his let
ters to our Minister to France, to similar ef
fect. The conclusion that Mr. Smith of the
Advertiser draws from his quotations from
Mr. Adams, is set forth as follows:
The whole theory, then, of proclaitnine free
dom to the. slaves in the rebel slates is against
the acknowledged rates sof civilized warfare.
And no act of Congress, ami judgment of the
Executive can impress it with the virtue of a
military necessity.
If Mr. Adams is quoted correctly by the Ad
vertiser—and we raise no question on this
point—what does it prove? Simply this: that
Great Britain, having in war despoiled our cit
z.ens of a portion of their property, and having
—to quote the Advertiser—“in the treaty of
peace stipulated that all places taken by either
party should be restored, ‘without carrying
away any public property captured in such
place, or any glares or oilier private proper
ty,’ ” and having, notwithstanding this treaty,
“carried away a number of negro slaves, some
captured in war and some fugitives to the
British lines,” Mr. Adams, as the accredited
agent and attorney ofhis government, made n
demand lor indemnity for this uusutrendered
property of a portion of his constituents,—
property which the British government had
solemnly stipulated to give up, or not to “car
ry away,”—and in urging his claim ami in pros
ecuting his suit Mr. A. used the language at
tributed to him in the Advertiser.
But did Mr. Adams intend to sanction
SVCIl A CONCLUSION as the Advertiser
has drairnfrom his language T Happily lor a
correct answer to this question Mr. Adams
lias left himself on record,on the precise point
at issue. Ami so plain, so unambiguous, so
unmistakable is his language, that we need on
ly quote it, as comment could tend only to con
fuse what is, in its naked simplicity, perfectly
plain and intelligible.
In his speech on the Joint Resolution for
distributing rations to the distressed fugitives
from Indian Hostilities, made May 25, 1830,
John Quincy Adams saitl:
In the authority given to Congress by the
Constitution of the United States to declare
war, till the powers incident to war are. by
neceksary implication, conferred upon the gov
ernment of the United States. Now the pow
ers incident to war are divided, not from their
internal municipal source, but from the laws
and usages of nations. * * * These are,
in the authority of Congress and of the Execu
tive, two classes ot powers, altogether differ
ent in their nature, and ofteu incompatible
with each other—the war power and the |ieace
power. The peace itower is limited by reuu
unions, and restricted by provision.- prescribed
within the Constitution itself. THE WAR
POWER IS LIMITED ONLY UY THE
LAWS AND USAGES OF NATIONS. •
* • This power is tremendous; if is strict
ly constitutional; but it breaks down erery
barrier so anxiously erectetl for the protec
tion OF LIBERTY, OF PROPERTY AND
OF LIFE.
In bis speech on War with Great Britain and
Mexico, April, 14 and 15, 1842, Mr. Adams
said:
The pretensions of gentlemen to the sancti
ty or their municipal institutions undent state
of actual invasionatml ofucfua/trar.WHETH
ER SKULK, CIVIL OK FOREIGN, is
wholly unfounded, and the laws of war do in
alt such cases take the precedence. I lay this
down as the law of nations.
1 say that military authority takes, for the
time, the place of all municipal institutions,
•and star ery a many the rest ; and that under
tliat stale of things, so far from its being true
that the States where siaveiy exists have the
exclusive management of the subject, not only
the President of the United Mates, but l lie
commander of the army, HAS THE IHIVKE TO
ORDER THE UNIVERSAL EMANCIPA
TION OF THE SLAVES.
It is a rule of the courts, we believe, that no
attorney shall impeach or discredit his own
w itnesses. Tile editor of the Advertiser, us
the attorney for the slave institution, having
introduced so illustrious a witness as John
Quincy Adams, lie will be obliged to admit
the lull weight of the testimony brought out
on the cross-examination. And having ap
pealed to Mr. Adams and to him alone,to show
• that the Federal Government lias no power to
destroy any institution of a rebellious State,
and his own witness having explicitly declared
that, not the President only but that any
Commanding General, in time of war, has full
power to proclaim the emancipation of the
slaves, we don't see but his whole article iu
yesterday’s paper, designed to show that the
President has yielded to Improper influences,
ami thus been led to the assumption of ques
tionable powers, fails to tlie ground.
In closing this article we will only add, that
it tlie slave institution should fall in ruins, as
the result of the present war, tlie slaveholders
will have noliody to blame but themselves.—
It was only the day following the Bull Run
battle otlast year,that the House of Rcpresenta
tives, by a vote of 121 to 2—Ben. Wood and
C. L. Valandigliam, and the Senate by equal
unanimity, declared by resolution, “That the
present deplorable civil war has been /orcfrf
upon the country by the disunionists of tlie
Southern States, now in arms against tlie con
stitutional government, and in arms around
tlie capital.”
ZV' Tlie Argus, in the exulicrance of its
loyalty, says, “the old Union was badly burnt
hy a contemptible Congress lust winter.”-—
When Jell'. Davis, Toombs, Wigfall, Slidell and
Mason of the Senate, Keitt and others of tlie
House, and Floyd, Cobb and Thompson of the
Cabinet, were plotting tlie rebellion, and prac
ticing their hdlish arts to weaken tlie Union
lor defence against their conspiracy, the Argus
was mum, hud not a word to say, and saw no
signs that the old Union was being burnt by
its partizan friends.
“Poplinm” vs. “Pilgrim.”
On the first page we have given place to a
long, ably-written and zealous defence of our
Pilgrim Fathers, who landed on Plymouth
Ttoek, in Dee, 1S80, and who, in the little May
Flower, as she tossed in the Bay, before her
living freight hail been lauded, laid the founda
tion and developed the rudiinental germ of
that popular form ofgoveruinent w hich,through
the blood of a subsequent revolution, matured
into a giant tree whose branches have afforded
shelter from the storms of despotism to many
an exile from his father land. The article re
ferred to is sharp—perhaps needlessly severe—
| but coining as it did from one of the ablest
pens in the Slate, and claiming the privilege
of replying to those whom the writer thought
hail unjustly disturbed the pleasant memories
of the “Fathers,"’ we did not feel at lilierty to
refuse it a place in our columns. Here we
hope the matter may lie allowed to rest.
Allow us to say, however, that “No Recreant
New Englander" is entirely mistaken in our
correspondent “Maine,” if lie ascribes to him a
desire to extol an Episcopal colony at the ex
pense of the Pilgrim colony. ‘ Maine” is no
Episcopalian, neither is lie a Puritan, and we
apprehend, could his real feelings be got at
that lie would he found, as between Episcopa
cy and Puritanism as parlies to a religious
controversy, to occupy very much the ground
we do ourself, and that is quite as neutral as
was the feelings of the affectionate Arkansas
wife when she saw her husband hugging the
bear. Hite didn’t care which heat /
We were present at the Pophain celebration;
had a capital time; got squeezed and hum
bugged generally in the most approved style;
considered the investment in money, time, fa
tigue ami experience a good one; didn’t hear
much of-the performance proper; saw nothing
j hut the most gentlemanly hearing and Chris
tian humility displayed by Bishop Burgess,who
led in the religious services: took it for grant
ed that the Poor oration would he an excel
inn UIK-, ii'ii iiimi- nwuiiiwii!* iiji a mmi ui
chowder and a cracker for the moderate sum
of thirty-seven cents, than we did to gnaw the
dry Ixtnes of Popham: found the chowder very
good, though we did not partake of the clams,
so offensive to “J. N.;’’ heard excellent speech
es from Messrs. Metier and Washburn, and
several iiidilfereut ones from “lesser lights,”
and listened to a long string of sentiments
which, to our mind, were just about as full of
real sentiment as a basket of last year's shav
ings is of juice; got home late at night fully
impressed with the thought that “Sahino,” like
I Jordan, “is a hard road to travel,” when ease
I
j and pleasure are the objects sought, anil we
j settled down into the solid conviction that
' Popham was a great bore, that the celebration
was a “big thing” for the small amount of histor
ic capital invested, and that, altogether, a very
inferior whistle had been purchased at a large
expenditure of time and treasure.
Now we don’t mention these tilings because
! we suppose any one else felt as we did, or
| shared in a similar experience, hut simply to
j show our own oddity, and how different were
i our own feelings from those of everybody else
who w as present. We regret that the celebra
tion should have engendered a controversy
about ecclesiastical matters,or been allowed to
| provoke a disposition to traduce the hardy
pioneers, of whatever faith, who were w illing
to “do and dare” that a new world might lie
i opened up to posterity and civilization. It is
' poor business to rake open the graves of our
ancestors, except to exhibit their virtues.
“Tread lightly over the ashes of the dead” is a
w ise as well as a prudent admonition for Die
j living. We shall soon ourselves be among the
dead, and our ashes and memories will per
haps no more bear the sharp criticisms of anoth
er century, than dot hose of our forefathers
I the criticisms of this. Pilgrim Plymouth
: lived—it wits Cod’s will that it should be so—
and tile proud monuments of that colony are
found all over New England. The old fathers,
could their stern lips now speak.w ould ask no
better, no nobler, no loftier, no more enduring
memorials. Popham perished, and Sahino is a
sand heap, and Cod doubtless willed that; and
why quarrel about the celebration of an enter
prise which, dying, left no sign?

A Sword Presentation.
The citizens of Cape Elizabeth, desirous of
giving public expression to their sentiments of
regard for Lieut. Ebenezer Hutchinson,Co. H,
25th Regiment,assembled at the Freewill Bap
tist Meetinghouse, on Tuesday evening the
23d inst., at 7 P. M., whither Lieut H. slid
company had been invited. The exercises
were opened by Lieut. II., with prayer. An
elegant sword, sasli and belt were then pre
sented by the Rev. J. M. Bailey, pastor of the
society, in a neat and appropriate address.
It was a noble scene—a pastor presenting a
sword to one of Ills congregation; and lie, too,
until recently, pastor of the same society. Lt.
Hutchinson responded in an appropriate and
eloquent manner, assuring ids friends that it
should be drawn only in Freedom's cause, and
for the defence and maintenance of those
principles to which he had devoted his life.—
Able and patriotic speeches were made by S.
L. Carle toil and W. H. Vinton of Portland, J.
M. Pease of Pownal—a young mail of high at
tainments, a graduate of Bowdoin College,
who left a lucrative situation for a private's
station; and the Rev. Mr. Sylvester of West
brook, Rev. Elam Libby of Raymond—also a
graduate of Bowdoin, and Corporal Elling
wood, all privates in the ranks, followed in
fervent ami appropriate remarks. The exer
cises closed by singing Old Hundred, in which
the assembly joined.
\Y lieu such men take the field, from no iper
cenary motive or selfish purpose, but from a
firm conviction or duty, let it no longer be
saiil that our age is characterized by a less deep
devotion to principle, or a want of firmness in
the maintenance of truth and right. And
when peace, now affrighted from our shores,
shall revisit our cities and villages,—when Co
lumbia shall record the names of those noble
men who have Derilled life in her defence _
their names shall be as deeply engraven on
her historic page as they are cherished in the
js earts of their f llow citi ens. E. 8. E.

Mu. Editor:—I notice in your paper of

This indeed would be a small affair if not so
arranged as to contain a covert slander against
that noble man, Gen. Neal Dow, w hom all the
pro-rum, pro-slavery papers, and correspond
ents in the land will tind it somewhat difficult
to lit down.
It seems that the slanderer finally made a
scape-goat for his lying insinuation, of the
General's “Orderly,” but it is well known that
there are plenty of papers that w ill publish
the “ Word,” without the “ explanation, ”
which no doubt is just as false and malignant
as the former.
Wonder if this Hotel correspondant, who is
so “ an fait ” in mint julips, followed the
servant to know who caused their “ greens ”
to wilt?
Neal Dow (God bless him) needs no defence
in this community, against those who would
rather record his shame than his glory—but
there are those here who are unwilling that
his youthful, unpretending, but upright and
exemplary “ Orderly,” a linn tetotaller, should
be made to sutler in reputation,from misrepre

Letter Irom Brunswick.
Brunswick, Sept. 2tt, 1ki>2.
Dear Press:—Not a few of your subscri
l hers here are glad to see you occasional)- apply
Ithuriel's spear to our T-of the Telegraph.
- Like the individual spoken of by Milton, he
stands up in all his native ugliness, but that is
preferable tot he nauseating pretence of patri
• otisin which makes so flimsy a veil to the real
, malignity that is continmdly cropping out in
; his columns against all who would vigorously
defend the government against treason.
We doubt whether all the condemnation he
has ever uttered, of this wicked rebellion,
> would have cost him a single subscriber in the
seceded States, if the customary postal facili
ties had continued to he afforded by Uncle
Sam. But a large proportion of his subseri
”V‘-’ nuu Lizmmuc »/ll Ills lM»b OUICIJ' W
cause they want the convenience of a local
newspaper, are almost every week disgusted
with his slanders of onr bravest and best, and
hi- continual dings at Abolitionists, as lie is
pleased to call all who see the folly of wasting
the blood and treasure of the North in the at
tempt to crush the rebellion without calling
off from the rebels their main support, and re
moving, at the same time, that which they
have declared to be the corner-stone of their
new government, and that which is known to
be the immediate motive which spurred them
on to attempt the overthrow of our republic.
T.’s history is an illustration of the rule that
a renegade is always the most malignant of
foes. If we are not misinformed, as long ago
as 1834 or 3o he was an active inemlier (we
believe an officer) of a college anti-slavery so
ciety, and so among the first to call public at
tention to the existence of our great national
eanrer, for which it is now plain that there is
no cure but the knife. .Vow, the zealous abo
litionist of 1834 declares in his paper of this
day’s date that he “hates slavery ns he dors an
abolitionist." He hates drunkenness as he
does a temperance man, forsooth! He hates
disease as he does the doctor, perhaps.
But the special matter to which I sat down
to coll your attention in this week’s Telegraph,
is the mean attack on old Massachusetts—llrst
and foremost—(God bless her!) to come to the
aid of the government iu the hour of peril.—
What says Tenney of her?
“Massachusetts does not make up her quo
tas, and the everlasting nigger is dinned ever
into your ears. Boston, the hotbed of alsili
lion, is behind in furnishing troops for the
held.”
1 do not propose to enter upon a defence ol
brm e old Massachusetts Irwin this drivelling
attack of her recreant sou, (for T., strange as
it may seem, is actually a native of the Old
Hay State.) What Massac he setts litis done lor
the country in this war. is too well known.
But does 1. ixpeet to be believed in the in
sinuation that those whom he styles abolition
ists are backward in tilling up the ranks? Bos
ton is not generally reputed “a hotbed of alw
lition.” Frank Blair said there was less tree
soil sentiment in it than there was in St. Lou
is. It elects a Mayor of the precise political
Stripe of the Brunswick Telegraph, and that
Mayor has been accused (whether rightfully
or wrongfully we know not) of discouraging
enlistments by all the underhand means in his
power.
But who is it that charges the noble old
State of Massachusetts with not doing her
duty iu this crisis?
Boston supports the Courier, a sheet which
we suppose the chief conspirators against the
country must view with sentiments its favora
ble as sneaking traitors can excite in the heat •
of the foes whom they aid. Some of us think
the Teleohapii is a fair echo of the Courier.
Tenny Is very hard upon i>oor Bill Lindsay
tliis week; one can't help thinking it is lie
cause the imprudent num-skult came so near
putting it out of the power of some despica
ble wretch to stab his country in the dark, by
prematurely disclosing the w hereabouts of the
traitor.
AVe don’t know how we can better close
this notice of this week’s Telegraph, than by
asking Tenny what sort of a" political
gentleman ” he supposes it w as that wrote
Bill Lindsay the letter. Let him consider who
Bill Lindsay’s associates and cronies here, were
and tell us—was this “ Political gentlemen”
an Abolitionist, a Democrat ora Constitution
and Union man.
Yours in haste, Bm .vswiCK.
P. S. Boston is witting. The Brunswick
Telegraph says so, in substance. Good news
for Jell'.! No other paper has the news.
The Army and Emancipation.
A friend in a neighboring State, who hits
been a pro-slavery Democrat, opposed to eman
cipation, an<l to any interference with slavery,
visited the army of the Potomac when it was
1 on the peninsula, in the capacity of Medical
: Commissioner. lie was with the army several
weeks, and had ample opportunities forobserv
atiou. jfn one of his letters, written after his
retard, he expressed himself, much to our sur
prise, in favor of emancipation policy. In an
swer to an inquiry how such a policy would
lie received by the army, he writes:
You may take it as a fact that with very few
exceptions, the whale army is in favor of the
most stringent prosecution of the war, urging
every means in our power to stifle the rebel
lion, ami it regards emancipation as one of our
most potent weapons. Even among the offi
cers of the old army, many of whom talked
loudly of resigning, Ac., if they were to lie
used as “nigger-stealers,” there has been a
great, and most marked change in sentiment.—
I took some pains to satisfy myself as to the
prevalent feeling upon that topic, ami 1 am
satisfied that the entire army would hail an
emancipation proclamation with joy. Still
more. 1 believe the army would be glad to
know that every rebel town captured was to
I»e burned. 1 was a Democrat of the ultra
stamp, aud yet I honestly believe that Fremont
was light iu his Boston speech, and that the
truly and the people are ready for emancipa
tion, and a war of extermination, if necessary
to put d >wn tliis rebellion. It is cerfciin un
less this war forever settles the slavery ques
tion, we are ruined beyond salvation.
The world, the country, the army, and human
ity demand it, and I believe all are up to that
point. 1 heard scores of officers regret that
Norfolk and Portsmouth were not burned, and
many others express themselves as strongly
upon tlie emancipation question.
These views are worthy of attention, be
cause they are ilio natural convictions of one
who had no anti-slavery sympathies, and who
before lie went to the peninsula, tiad as strong
a reverence for slavery, and slave property, as
Vallandinghain or any other of that school of
Democrats. He had a large acquaintance
among me omcers ot jicl lellau s army, ami
his opportunities for learning their opinions
was ample.—(Horton Journal.
Iff ' We give warning to those editors in
the habit of stealing our original paragraphs,
that they'll “catch it" if they don't mend their
editorial morals.—[Hallowell Courier.
We advise the admonished editors, if they
don’t wish to “catch” anything from Newman,
to carry a small roll of brimstone in their pock
ets. It is said to be a perfect safeguard.

Losses in the Late Battles.
New Yoke, Sept 20.
The Tribune’s special Washington dispatch
says that Surgeon (ten. Lee lias returned from
the battle Held of Autietam Creek. He thinks
the whole number of Ciiion soldiers killed w ill
lie within 1,200, and judging from a careful in
spection of the lists of casualties of the hospi
tals, he estimates the wounded at aUmt (1,000.
Maj. Davis, Assistant Inspector General, says
that he himselt caused to lie Imried three thou
sand dead rebels left on the Held by their com
mander. From this he concludes that their
wounded must have reached fully 10,000. All
our wounded arc lieing brought away and all
our dead Imried.
Seven standards and from 20,000 to 110,000
stands of small arms fell into our hands.
The Times special Washington dispatch says
the rebels left .1,000 of their wounded within
our lines. Their total loss cannot be much
less than 5,000 killed and 15,000 wounded.
Rebel Generals Killed and Wounded.
New Yoke, Sept. 20.
The Richmond Enquirer claims the battle of
Autietam as a great re lad victory.
It is admitted that our artillery was used
with fearful effect, and that, upon tile whole,
the battle was the most severe of the entire
campaign. Two reliel Generals were killed,
Stlirk (if Mittkitwilitii \ ltriiic!t Ilf
oiina, ami six others were wounded.
The Petersburg Express makes the signifi
cant admission that all hopes of Maryland
uniting her destiuiea with the South, must now
be banished.
The rebel generals wounded were Brigadier
Gen. It. II. Anderson in hip, not dangerously.
Brig. (ien. Wright of Georgia, breast and leg.
Brig. Gen. Larton in leg. Brig. Gen. Armis
tead in foot. Brig. Gen. ltipley, in neek, not
dangerously. Brig. Gen. Itansoin, of North
Carolina, slightly. Col. Alfred Cummings, in
command of Wilcox's brigade, slightly.
Eli Thayer's Colonization Scheme.
New York, Sept. 26.
The Herald's Washington dispatch says that
yesterday Gen. Sickles was placed in command
of Gen. Hooker's old division.
The Tribune's Washington dispatch says:
Hon. Eli Thayer's scheme for the colonization
of the Southern States by armed men, meets
with much favor from the President, Secretary
of War, and other Secretaries. It has been *
discussed several times in Cabinet meetings, I
and will probably soon receive formal official
sanction.
The project contemplates an expedition by
10,000 colonists, enlisted for six months, and
supplied with transportation, subsistence and
arms. A General is to be appoiuted by the
government, whose business it shall be to hold,
occupy and possess the public lands of Florida
and other lands belonging to the rebels, and
seized under the law of the last session of
Congress, for non-payment of the direct tax.
Mr. Thayer promises, if allowed to carry out
his plan in its entirety, to bring Florida into
the Union as a free State by the first of Feb
ruary next. Texas and Virginia are already
talked ol as Suites t> be subjected to the same
process.
The Times* Washington dispatch says the
Surgeon Geuend intends to issue an order pro
hibiting amputation at tin* hip joint on the bat
tle field, such operations proving fatal.
