Only the states in rebellion - in other words, the very states over which Lincoln had no authority at that time.

But the Proclamation was actually meant for the ears of free nations abroad. It was to shame Britain and France out of aiding the Confederates, because the war had now officially been turned into a crusade against slavery, so other countries couldn't send military aid to the South without looking pro-slavery themselves.
