Emancipation and Martial law.
The Fredericksburg News justly characterizes the last proclamations of Lincoln on these subjects as measures for the freedom of Southern negroes and the enslavement of Northern white men. That is the light in which the North, too, would regard it if it were in its sober senses. In its present state of mind, white slavery is more likely to be the result in the North than negro emancipation in the South. The fanaticism of freeing Southern negroes will only result in making slaves of Northern white men.
