THE DAILY PRESS.
PORTLAND MAINE
Monday Morning, Dec. 8, 1862.
----—
The Portland Daily Press had the largest
regular circulation of any daily paper in
the city.
An Accommodating Beliet.
There is a story by Mrs. Stowe—or some
body else—of au old darkey woman, of a reli
gious turn of mind but inquisitive withal,
whom the honest parson found it ditiieult to
indoctrinate with all the abstruse propositions
of bis creed. She went along very well for a
while, but flually stumbled ou the doctrine of
original sin. She didn't see why 6he was to
suffer for the siu of Adam, and the efforts of
her teacher proved all unavailing, her curly
hair obstinately refusing to let the dogma pen
etrate. But things took a lucky turn. The
simple African was made the recipient of
peculiar kindness at the hand of her pastor,
and she was only tooeager to make grateful re
turn for the favor received. She sought her kind
benefactor, and with countenance elate with
joy and eyes dilated with gratitude, she ex
claimed, “Bress de Lord, I b'leeves—I b’leeves
in Adam's sin—I b'leeves in Adam's fader’s
sin—I b’leeves in every body’s sin—I b'leeves
de catechism, questions and all!”
We find a parallel for this honest old wo
man'saccommodatingbelief ill Saturday’s num
ber of the Advertiser, in an article headed,
“We believe in all of them.” The accommo
dating writer savs:
With scarce an exception, we have believed
religiously in ail the Union commanders of
the higher grades—Scott, McClellan, II illeck,
Burnside, Banks, Sigel, Mitchell, Pope, Iloint
zelinan. Hooker. Fitz John Porter, Sumner,
Smith, Kearney. McDowell, Buell, Uosecrans,
Grant, Nelson, Thomas, McClernand, Roseau,
Stahl, Stonebaui, Lyon—what a glorious list
ol names to which others might be added!
Yes, we have believed in them all.
Such a swallowing belief, taking in men of
opposing views; placing McDowell on a level
with McClellan, and embracing men in whom
the soldiery have lost confidence, and whom
the heads of the government have been com
pelled to displace, like Buell for instance, may
•oeiii almost incredible, but the closing para
graph of the article referred to explains away
the difficulty:
We repeat that, with scarce an exception,
we believe in all our chief commanders—we
believe in them separately however, and not
together. One poor general is better than two
good ones.
One general in the field, only one, with no
military or cicil superior—this is what our be
lieving neighbor demands:
An army should have but one commander,
ami McClellan should have been left to him
self. I f it lie Burnside let it be he alone; don't
add Halleck; much less add Lincoln and
Stancon.
There’s doctrine to be enunciated in a re
publican government;—in a government op
posed to the “ one man power,-’ opposed to
military dictatorship. *' McClellan should have
been left to himv.lf" ! “ Don't add Halleck,
much lens Lincoln and Stanton”! Here is
reverence for the Constitution! Lincoln is
made, by the Constitution itself, the Coalman
der-in-Citief of the army and navy, but the ac
tive General in the field must ignore him, be
•uperior to him, lie left alone by him, aud if
not left alone entirely, at all events he must
not be interfered with by Presidents or Cabi
nets! Verily, despotism is reached by short
aud easy strides. But then our neighbor is in
a believing mood, believes In “ everybody's
■iu" except Commanding Generals, or the one
who happens to be at the head of armed bat
talions. Another quotation:
If Burnside is nut the man, then send U il
leck. Fremont, Banks, or whoever may be the
mao.
That looks all very fair, but let us look at it
in the light of that "stray gleam of fire” which
of late has been so marked a feature in the
columns of our cotemporary. A short time
since the President became convinced that the
general at the head of the army iu Virginia
was “not the man,’* and he sent Burn-ide—not
“Halleck, Fremont or Banks”—to take coui
maud. How did the gentleman who wrote
the above soFdly printed lines treat this act of
the President? If the reader will turn to the
Advertiser of Nov. 22, he will find au article
headed "The next Step,” from which he will
obtain au answer to this question. That arti
cle opeus as follows:
In our issue of the 3 )th of Sept, last, we al
luded to the insatiate demands of the aboli
tionists upon the President, and to tile fact
that, having succeeded in the “pressure” lor
au Emancipation Proclamation, * * * he
would be followed up by the same abolition
influence, aud be required, as “a next step,”
to remove Gen. McClellax* and iu-tal Gen.
Fremont in his place. * * * The “next
step” they have so far succeeded in, accord
ing to our predictions of their plans, as to re
move Gen. McClellan from command; and as
a foreshadowing of their still further success,
It is announced that Gen. Fremont has al
ready been summoned to Washington,’'Ac.
The above extract shows the honesty of
recommending to the President to displace
commanders if “not the ineu” for their posi
tions ; and the fling at Fremont shows still fur
promotion to the chief command would be ad
visable, if to the President he shall seem to he
the mau for the place. It may uot he improp
er here to stale that Gen. Fremont, in the
above held upas the embodymeut and incar
nation of “abolitionism,” and the only one to
satisfy the “insatiable demands of the aboli
tiouU's,” i- tile same mail whom the editor ol
Advertiser once commended to the people ol
Portland, and of whom he said:
“Of the three candidates for the Presidency.
Mr. Fremont is the only one whose lips never
uttered—whose breatli has never been tainted
with tiiis unpatriotic desire lor a dissolution
of the Union, in any event. No affinity for
such a thought has ever been heard even in
whispers from him. NajfGod hag not made
the elements of his being with sueli irregulari
ty of action as even to permit him to dream,
in the wildest wanderings of his intellect when
asleep, a sentiment so abhorrent to his patri
otic heart as that of a possible dissolution ol
this glorious Union. *•••*••
Aud. as often its needful, the oatli which Jack
son added to the constitutional oaths pre-crib
ed by the constitution to he taken by the Pres
ident of the Union for its preservation, w ill be
taken anew and fulfilled. Aye. the opponent!
of John 0. Fremont's election know well that
he, too, will take upon his soul, as chief Mag
istrate of the Union, that same determiner
aud great oath,—“By the Eternal—thi
Union must and shall he preserved!”
We make this digression,—exhibiting as i
does the estimation in which Fremont was bu
recently held by the present linn, editor o
the Advertiser, differing from Buchanan am
Filmore, the other parties to the trinity ofcandi
dates referred to, in that Ida lips had never ul
tered. hi» breath had never been tainted will
tlie unpatriotic idea of a dissolution of tin
Union in any event,”—simply to show the rad
leal ciianges which sometimes take place ii
the opinions of great men; men whose mind
beam out on the surrounding darkness lik
“stray gleams of Are.” The man, the element
of whose being God had so made that h
couldn't be a disloyalist, is now. forsooth, th
incarnation of abolition fanaticism, all the ele
meats of wbicb are leagued for the destruc
tiou of "this glorious Union!”

Constitutional Powers of the Government.
Is there any power given in the Constitution
to emancipate the slaves, or to use them for
military purposes, as a necessity oi war? In
other words, to save the country from the do
minion of rebellion, can the President rightful
ly, lawfully and constitutionally,proclaim free
dom to the slaves? One year ago, when con
gressional confiscation bills were talked of,
there were very few northern democrats who
did not admit, while denying the legislative
power of Cungrexx to confiscate and free the
slaves, that the President, as commander-in
chief of the army and* navy, already had the
i power to do anything with the slaves that mil
\ itary necessity might demand. It was notour
fortune to hear a speech adverse to congrex
aionul action upon this subject, during the dis
cussions of from sis to twelve months ago, or
to read a newspaper leader upon that side of
the question, that did not distinctly and em
phatically enunciate the doctrine that, as a
military necessity, the right to confiscate, lib
erate ami arm the slaves already resided ill the
President, as commander-in-chief. The great
speech of Judge Thomas in the national house
of representatives,—a speech published and
eulogized by both the Post and Courier,—very
distinctly maintained this idea, and all the less
er speeches m ide in our legislature, adverse
to the so-called ‘‘national resolves,” seemed
. based upon tile same proposition.
But now that the President has seen and
reached the very necessity which they con
templated, and lute boldly proclaimed liberty _
to the slaves in the persistent rebel States,as a
war measure and to preserve the Union and
ivhi*Himi lii<* ricrliT to Hn so i*i nnp«
i tinned and denied by the very school of men
who so lately defended that right. Though
such men as Theophiius Parsons, Joseph Hull,
and the majority of those of commanding legal
acquirements, approve and defend the Presi
dent's right to do as he has done; though the
right to do so lias the emphatic sanction of no
less a man than John Quincy Adams, yet we
: find men every day.—men who never saw tlie
inside of a treaties on the law of nations, the
rights of belligerents or the conduct of civil,
ized warfare,—flippantly denying the consti
tutional right of tlie President to move in the
direction lie has taken.
We have introduced this matter at this time,
not for the purpose of discussing it,—for we
have no qualilleations for such a work.—but
that we may introduce the testimony of on3
who was presumed in his day to know some
thing of matters that he undertook to discuss.
It is reasonable to siipi>ose that the men who
framed tlie Constitution knew what degree of
power they were placing at the disposal of the
federal government. It is equally reasonable
to suppose that cotemporary statesmen, who
opposed that instrument, understood the
grounds oftheir opposition, and why they op
posed it. Now among the latter class we find
Patrick Henry, of Virginia, a statesman of
large experience, and who, through the stormy
days of and preceding the Revolution, took a
full share of the responsibilities resting upon
the heads of the patriots. When the federal
constitution was brought before the legislative
assembly of Virginia, for its ratification, Mr.
Henry being a member took the lead in oppos
ing it. Fortunately bis speech on that occa
sion has beeu preserved, so that we can see
what were tlie grounds of his opposition. The
great prominent objection which lie urged for
refusal to ratify that Instrument, was that it
gave to the general government the exact
powers which our mod rn democrats say are
not conferred by It. They being right, Mr
Henry was wrong, and was guilty of expend
ing all his force against a m.ui of straw—a pow
er that had no existence. The following ex
tract shows the view taken by tbe great revo
lutionist. Mr. Heury said:
One of the great objects of Government is
the national detense. The constitution gives
power to the general government to provide
lor the ijeneral defense, and the means must
be commensurate to the end. All the means
in the possession of the people must be . given
to the Government which is entrusted with
the public defense. May Congress not say
every black man mustfiyht t lu the war of
tlie Revolution, Virginia passed an act of as
sembly that every slave who would join the
army should be free. At some future time.
Congress will search tlie Constitution to see if
they have not tlie power ol manumission. And
have they not, Si: ? Have they not the power
to pr wide lor he general de’eu-e and weilare ?
May they uoi tiling these call lor the abolition
ol slavery? May they not pronounce all slaves
free ? ami will they not be warranted by that
power? The paper sperks to the point; they
have the power in clear, unequivocal terms,
and will clearly and certainly exercise it.
The Legal Tender Noies.
It is a question of great and pressing mo
ment, whether any further i-eue of le.nil ten
der notes can consist with a ust prudence on
the part of our national governme it. The
question should not be complicated by any de
ls e about an expansion which shall render
the currency valueless—so much waste paper.
No such pur; ose is entertained by Secretary
Chase, we may be assured, and the thing
cannot be done blindfold. What will lie the
results, immediate and prospective, of a fur
ther issn ■ of legal tender notes secured by the
ample returns of the tax Jaw, and backed by
the whole resources of the government ? That
is the question, naturally branching into two
...V, ... .V».
The immediate consequences are obvious.
The circulating medi nn needful to supply the
demands of active trade w ill be furnished (and
there is a di tiicient circulation at present);—
the rate of interest will contiuue low; and
price* tcili advance. These are the results al
fectiug Individuals. Over against the evil of
still advancing prices, (a burden so evenly dis
tributed lliat lew are sensible of its real weight)
must be put the salvation of our country. The
embarrassments from which the government
can only he saved by a further issue of these
notes, is thus clearly and torcibly described in
the New York Independent:
Were no more circulating notes to be issued,
tlte government would be compelled to raise
1 money at the rate of over a million of dollars
j per day by selling its securities. The result*
of tiiis would Ik—first, an Immediate increase
in the price of money; second, a great de
mand lor money; third, competition between
the government and every merchant and man
nlacturer lor money. This, w hilt- the war is
in progress, would gradually become ruinous
to both parties: for the merchant andmanufac*
turer could neither import nor produce as rap
idly as the people, the army, and lhe navy
would require; the government could not pur
chase ample supplies, and w hat they did pur
clia-e would be at largely advanced rates.—
Fourth, the price ol government securities
! would rapidly fall, and the amount of depreci
I at ion would be govern d solely by the necessi
• ties of the government. This would induce
greater efforts .on lhe part of the reliels to
j prolong the war; for the harder they fought,
and the more they protracted the contest, the
more would financial uccessllies compel the
government to seek an early termination of
the war. Such, we suppose, would be some of
t he necessary consequence* of a change from
i'-uing legal tender notes to raising money in
the only other know n mode, by selling United
States securities.
But, although it is tints apparent that a
present necessity compels this step, something
must lie done with these notes in the end, and
what? What are the prospective consequen
: ecs of a further issue? There are prophets
who foretell a terrific financial crash, wlienev
t j er specie payments shall be resumed. Mcan
1 while we invite the careful attention of our
readers to the following paragraph Irom the !
article already quoted:
It is certain that the fact, or even the assur
ed prospect, of peace, would instantly cause j
a great advance in the price of United States
seertritics. The legal tender notes are conver
tible into five-twenty six per cent, stock. This j
stock, like every other kind of United States j
stock, would advance above par; and the pro- j
cess of converting the notes into stock would
go on as rapidly as the clerks could perform
the changes. The great market lor the stocks
would be abroad. Every million of dollars i
shipped to Europe would give us so much of
exchange, which would be, as it is now, the
same as gold; and the amount thus shipped |
and drawn against when the w ar is over, would I
only be measured by the amount which the
government issues. Thus money in vast sums
would come to us; exchange would fall; gold
and silver l>e again released from their hoard
ing-places; and specie payments resumed,
while the abundance of money and of exchange j
would enable the resumption to l>e made with
out any shock to the finances of the country.

The Kepokted Capture or the IIar
RIET SPArr.lilVfJ —Wt* sir»A itmliiif.l tbinL*
from some circumstances which have eoine to
our knowledge relating to tiie conduct of
“Captain Peabody,” that our neighbors of the
Argus got hoaxed in the account which he
gave them of the capture and burning of the
bark Harriet Spaulding by the pirate steamer
Alabama. The conduct of "C'apt. Peabody”
was, to say the least, singular while he was
here, and we have not much doubt his whole
story was a hoax, and lor tiie purpose of ex
citing sympathy.
P. S.—Since writing the above we find tiie
follow ing in the Boston Journal of Saturday
evening, which confirms our opinion. Says
the Journal:
“There is every reason for believing that
the whole story is a fabrication, from tiie fact
that no vessel bearing the name of Hiram has
recently arrived at Fall Kiver, and neither is
there any report of such a brig having sailed
from Pietou. Furthermore, according to tiie
Custom House record of clearances in New
York, the name of the captain of the Harriet
Spaulding is Wallace, not Peabody, as report
ed above. And dually, oue of the owners,
who w as in town to-day, says lie has no know l
edge of the capture of the bulk.”
“C’apt. Peabody” w hile here obtained money
from one of our mercantile druis on Commer
cial street. He also borrowed a coat, cap and
gloves for the ostensible purpose of going skat
ing Thursday afternoon. When he got to the
basin lie was so intoxicated he could not stand
on the ice. lie returned to tiie city and said
he was going to Lynn; since which time noth
ing has been seen of him or of the garments
he borrowed.
