the armed hosts of rebellion failed to
secure by the bullet.
The apathy of Union men i:i sever
al of the loyal .States haw been seized
upon by the enemies of the Govern
ment as a reaction in their favor, and
the passions and prejudices of a por
tion of the people are appealed to to
overthrow the Legislative branches of
the Government.
The men who fostered ami defended
the Constitution ami Hag of our coun
try arc charged by those who fostered
and defended rebellion as being the
enemies of that same Constitution and
the laws made in pursuance thereof.

and that treason should be rewarded

enemies in the field the Fame loyal
citizens as though no war had been
waged ; that without guarantee or
pledge rebels are entitled to the same
exercise of political privileges which
they enjoyed before the war; that we
liavo no right to legislate safeguards
for those whom we legislate to be free ;
. , that Senators and lleprescntativcs of
even the rebel Congress shall be ad
mitted to seats in our National JiOgis
laturc : that the men whom you fought
in the field and who were driven by
your bayonets into the "hist ditch,"'
and who surrendered only when their
powers of resistance failed, are fit to
sit in an American Congress to vote or
" withhold the mites that now comfort
the widows and orphans of the heroic
dead ; that our victory was not a tri-

power alone, and that loyalty is no test
of citizenship, but an unmeaning and
despotic phrase; that the debt incurred
by the war, in great part for your
services, pay, bounties, pensions, tve.,
should be repudiated ; that no further
bounties or pensions should be granted
to sustain the disabled living, and that
' the fruits of victory that cost so much
Wood and treasure shall be transferred

legal right to the restoration of any'
privileges or immunities lost by tho
war save what humanity alone would
confer. Did we find loyal State gov
ernments iu tho rebellious States when
the war ceased? If so, tho suprema
cy of Federal authority restored them
to tneir tormcr relations with the
General Government. If we found
disloyal State Governments tho resid
ing power, certainly they were in con
flict with tho Constitution, and could
not, without usurpation of its authori
ty, bo so restored. If tho General
Government had power to disband the
disloyal State Governments, was thereJ
any btate Government existing alter
such (lisbandmcnt ?
If there were no State Governments
existing, were not their political rela
tions with the General Government ef
fectually destroyed, save tho territory
alone, which they could not remove,
ami in which the exercise of Federal
authority is preserved only by the
presence of the military forces of the
Government ? Thus possessing no
rights under the Constitution or laws,
justice demands that snllieicnt guaran
tees tor their future conduct shall be
given. Coiutress demands that their
now LO.i.iiiiniir.tiS 1'jr the restoration
of their State Governments under the
Fcdrrai Constitution shall conform to
the spirit of the text.
That they shall not politically en.-
siave tins minorities that remained
oyal during the war ; that all men, as
tar as civil rights are concerned, shall
stand equal before the Iaw:, and politi
cal privilege's onlv be withheld bv the
will of the majority, or in punishment
for crime. That no reiirn of caste shall
ibridge the rights of humanity ; that
freedom shall mean freedom and not
servitude; and that ever)' citizen, re-
jarilless of race or color, shall enjoy
personal protection in their liberties
iy law and deed. J hat treason inn!

To clothe our enemies with the
panoply of political power is too
dangerous an expedient to experiment
upon in the restoration ot this Ciiioii
When they entermr national conn,
cils they justly demand an apportion
ment ol the Government patronage.
I hey will ask representation in all
the various departments to an extent
great"!- than what they enjoyed during
the war, (and it seems almost that they
could receive this now, if they made
application with certain political
pledges.) They will demand positions
in our army mid navy.
Would our army or navy be safe in
their hands ? We committed them to
their care once, and we recollect with
what honor and fidelity they served
their trusts.
Who of you, fellow-soldiers, would
like to serve tinder the chivalrie Mos
by, who stealthily scanned the rear of
our armies to murder thoso who im
prudently withdrew from the limits of
amp or the strict lineot inarcii ; vt no
ol von, noble sailors, would like to
serve iiiitler the murderous pirate
Semincs, whose courage burned un
armed vessels and destroyed our peace
ful commerce on the seas ?
These are no overdrawn pictures ;
for if these men are permitted to fill the
high places of our Government, they
will be realities from which we have
just cause to recoil. Would you trust
them to command our armies r Yi on Id
you twist them to command our navy ?
Xo, never! If, then, it be unsafe to
place in disloyal hands the means by
which we protect and defend Our
Government, by what process of reason
ing can wesubmitto place the Govern
ment itself in the keeping of those
whose hands are yet red with blood.
Xo, thank God, it will never be done.
The People are not yet ready to
surrender their liberties. Too much
sacrifice, too much blood, too much
treasure, has been poured out for us to
step upon the thrcshhold of our liber
til's and transfer our freedom to those
whom we conquered in the war for its
supremacy.
If R'bels arc admitted to Congress
and to their share of public patronage,
what higher endorsements will they
need to recommend an applicant than
the fact that he was foremost in the
effort todes'.roy the Government they
now seek to control.
Tho State of Maryland is to-day
guarding her despotism with a militia
eduaated in tho rebel ranks, while
Kentucky sends rebel officers elected
by rebel ballots over candidates that
gave honorable service in the union
army. These arc truths that cannot
be denied.
In common with every patriot in
this land, wc desire to see our Union
speedily and harmoniously restored.
But it must be restored upon the prin
ciples which gave it birth upon the
teachings of its founders and that
tyranny and aristocracy shall not live
to subvert freedom and Democracv :
that the civil rights of no man shall
be abridged liccansc the wisdom of
God has made him nnhkc ourselves in
cjlor ; that ttath, justice and cqcali
tvshall reign and rule supreme.
They are "imperishablo decrees of
Heaven. We have in the party poli
tics of the day 4wo parties, known as
the Democratic and Jlcpublican.
' They have both asserted through
their representative leaders in Con
gress, and out of it, their plans of res
toration or reorganization.
Tlie Democratic, party asserts that
by the supremacy of the Federal au
thority the States are already restored,
and are entitled to representation in
yongress. .
The Republican party asserts that
FIKMXESSIN THE RIGHT AS GOD GIVES UfTO SEE THE MGHT,-Iimc
WAYiUSBlKtl,
by the supremacy of Federal authority
the States arc made subservient to sue
authority, and those who committed
treason are amenable to the laws for
their crimes and that the disloyal con
sistency of the South arc not entitled
to representation until they shall evi
ueuee, ny worn and deed, their re
nouncement of hostility to the Gov
eminent, the Union ami tlie laws : and
that they desire to renew their former
allegiance by guaranties of their faith
ful adherence to the compact.
The Democratic party says that the
forced surrender of rebels in arms has
restored them to their political privi
leges under tho Government.
This Republican partv fays that by
this surrender they yiehfed only their
military power to oppose, and by be
intr found in arms against the Govern
ment, thev deprived themselves of all
political privileges under it.
The Democratic party says this is a
white man s Government,
The Republican party says that this
is a Government ot the jieople ; an
asylum tor the oppressed ot every
clime and nation, and in theory an
principle based upon the equality of
rights to nil mankind.
The Democratic party says that the
four millions of slaves who became
free by the war should be left to the
mercy ot their enemies, who inaugu
rated rebellion to establish their per.
petual bondage.
The Republican party says that these
men were made free not by their own
acts, and that humanity as well as the
law demands that they should be pro.
tceted in theenjoynicnt of "life, liberty
and tho pursuit ot happiness.
In fitct the Democratic party de.
sires to socurj by tho aid ot tlie re
bellion the political power of the Gov
ernment, while the Kepublican party
mean that it shall be confided to none
but loval men.
The Democratic partv nursed trea
son in the cradle, and is the parent of
its infamy and crimes.
The Republican party is the off
spring of liberty founded by the im
mortal .Icilcrson, defended by the
blood of Lincolrf and the three hun
dred thousand loval hearts whose
;ravcs attest their fidelity to its prin-
iplos, and whoso triumphs decreed
that in this country "the sun shall
neither rise upon ar master or set upon
slave." i
The Democratic partv lent its voice
and its votes to aid and com tort our
enemies in the field.
The Republican party sent its von
'itards to the front, dealing treason
the sword of justice, and planted frfce-
uom s banners upon tno bulwarks ot

tyrants you defeated.
Fellow comrades, wo arc told that
those who defended, maintained and con
secreted it with their blood arc now en
emies of the liberties for which they
have made their sacrifices.
But who arc our accusers? What
claim have they for political respect?
Were their homes illuminated at
Union victories? Or did their hearts
sadden at rebel defeat?
Did they oiler to feed the starving
garrison of Sumter? Or did they cry
"You shall not coerce orsubjiigate our
friends ?''
Scan their names and sec if they arc
not the same polluted scabs that have
surfaced the sores of tho nation for
yeai-s men whose names are unletter
ed among the heroes of the war, whose
lovalty has rotted in the lorgetfuliiess
of tho post, and but for the events of
the last few months, would have pass
ed to their political graves "unwept
unhonored, and unsung." Inspired
by the apostates of liberty, these men
now seek to control the destinies of the
Government. , Their arguments are
the same departures from truth, justice,
and liberty that have ever character
ized their political post. Schooled in
the nursery of slavery, trained to bow
submissively to its power, their vision
cannot extend beyond the color of the
men that have just escaped from the
bonds of their tyranny and oppression.

same column of strength mat is now
led by the heroes of the wnr by
Grant, Sheridan, Thomas, Howard,
Sick lee, Geary, Logan, Sehenck, and
hundreds of others whose deeds aro no
le?s heroic or brave, and the power
that now threatens to control by the
ballot will bo vanquished with less ef
fort than the fiends of rebellion who
failed by the bullet. i
Your patriotism and Valor saved
the nation in its hour of peril, let not
your apathy destroy the fruits of vic

look to your ballots as they did to your
bullets to secure them the enjoyment
ofliberty and repose. If you aro true

The famous rebel General Lar-
ringcr, of North Carolina, 1ms' written
alenghthy letter to the Charlotte (Jf.
C.) A'ews, in which ho accepts colored
suffrage as a logical result of tho war.
While North as a prisoner of war, he
says he made it- a special object to
tudy the tono and temper of the
Northern people particularly the char
acter of Yankee society and the work
ings of Yankee institutions, and that
ho arrived at tho following conclu
sions:
I. That the masses of all classes in
that section were disposed fo trent the
South kindly, and even liberally, if
our people-especially the leaders
only came out fairly and squarely to
tno great results ot the war.
II. But, that negro suffragr was
destined to come in some form, no sane
man could doubt.
HI. That the Republican partv
was the power with which tho South
had to deal.': This great party em-
braced the live men of tho North
IV. The very existence of the South
required her to acquiesce' in, if she
could not sanction, the policy of this
victorious party, as tno best represen
tative of the conquering power. But
for myself, I came to tho conclusion.
after full reflection, that tho highest
interests ol the south would be promo
ted by her people embracing, so far as
they could conscientiously do so, the
propiressivo ideas of that party.
The General closes his letter as fol
lows : -
The young, the. ignorant and the
rash cling to hopes never to be realiz
ed. They catch nt every straw that
floats upon the troubled waters of the
political ocean.
The treacherous utterances of the
Cbppcrhcadrt press,which has ever fed
and fatt6ncd on the follies of the South,
and which has ever led us to death
and destruction, are again gathered up.
People forget 1861, when ot the first
shock of arms, the "mudsills" were to
rise; 1862, whon MeClellan, in his
rage and despair, was to seize the
Government ;in 1863,when the North
west was to resist; 1864, when the
Peace Democracy was to triumph;
1865, when Mr.-Johnson would cer
tainly crush Radicalism; arid finally,
1866, when the Philadelphia conven
tion was sweeping, the country. He
boid the result of all these prophecies!
And yet when a Southern man dares
to rise above the passions of the hour.
and tell tho people the unvarnished
truth, he is denounced ns a traitor to
his ra(eand his section.
I would not willingly enter the noli-
tieal arena, but I think I know some
thing of the spirit and temper of the
North, and if reconstruction is defeat
ed, or if tho policy of resistance is long
maintained, our troubles ana (lilticlil
tics must increase. It is idle for the
South to longer isolate herself from
the outside world or seek to ; repress
the aspirations of the age. Govern
ments, everywhere, are soon to rest on
the broad basis of universal ' sufl'rage.
1 hus - far the experiment has met
with full success wherever tried ; and
the vital forces of a people are found
to be in proportion to their freedom of
thought and ot action. 1 have never
doubted but that the colored vote of
the South would prove highly conser-

Gen. W'm. C. Wick ham, of tho reb
el army, a relative of Gen. R. E. Lee,
writes to Gen. Barrtnger from Hano
ver Court House, Va., as follows.
I am in full accord with you on all
the positions taken in it, and bclicvo
that it is only by carrying out tho
views there in expressed that we will
ever again find our States returning
to a prosperous condition : and I am
delighted to find a man like yourself
coming forward to aid in convincing
our misled people of tho propriety, I
may say necessity, ot accepting fq"
the results of our defeat, and .-J 'show
them that brave men do not yield to
despair, but look forward with hopeful
anticipations to our future, and that
wise men can point out to them the
path to early reconstruction with all
its attendant blessings of peace, hai-
mess, national greatness, and last,
ut not least, n proper and legitimato
"independence."
lho third resolution of your con
vention also strikes tho right note.
The sooner tho disabilities are remov
ed from the class spoken of, the sooner
will public sentiment be brought to a
healthy tone in tho South, and the
more permanent will bo the establish
ment of tho principles of - the Repub
lican parti- tlirongliont that regions.
Lvcrything here is in a most un
certain state. J ho pres has done vast
injury by exciting; thoso whom it
reaches agaiiiKt an honest "acceptance,
of the Congressional policy; and I fear
igtiitig men are givin;; uiui ntivico
to the negroes. The result of two
things I greatly fear, may lie to draw
a lino bused upon color, which will bo
fraught with new disasters. I hopo
however, for tho best, and be tho tem
porary evils what they may, I have no
doubt of the future prosperity of t!.o
people of this State.
Believe me, very truly yours,
Wm. C. Wickham.

Upon one of tho festival days in
Naples it was customary to have some
individual mounted upon an ass, who
for two hours rides through tho city
personating the Saviour, and who dur
ing that time must endure the most
intolerable bullets and insults. So vile
is tho treatment to which his person
has ta submit that it is often difficult
even by the oflcr of a large pecunr-
ry reward, to induce any person to ac
c"it the odicj. On ono coaision an
American sailor, tempted by the gold
accented tho job. 1 1 is ignorance of
the language spared him the verbal
'contumely, but tho outrage upon his
person was fully nppr eciated. He en
dured all bravely, until, when near
the close of his work, ho was assailed
in the most offensive manner. Shak
ing his dripping garments, he turned
upon his assailants and exclaimed i
"Villains wait until I havo dono
playing Christ, and I'll clean out this
town.'
Iy some ' respects it does not cost
more to live than it did licforo the
war. A New York letter says : At
the clothing houses on Broadway and
the Bowery you may see suits, good
and bod, almost as cheap as they Were
five years ago; and in every street
piles of dry goods ticketed from 60 to
100 per cent, below the prices asked
for the same goods in 1865. Calicos at
12Jc a yard ; muslins nt 10 to 8c ; de
laines at 18J ; dress goods at from 2.5
to 50c, and all kinds of costlier fabrics
at prices that indicate a heav loss to
some. ' The decline is severely felt By
importers, jobbers and agents, and
some of then are out of pocket to the
tunc of $.0,000 to $250,000 by it : but
it is very advantageous to the working
classes, for it enables them to make a
dollar go as far in dress as two went
last year. Groceries and. rents, aro
still high, but with these exceptions it
is much cheaper living in Xcw, York
now than it has been for three, or four
years. . ' 1
Centenariax Republican. We
clip the following from the Augusta
(Maine) Journal : ; ' V
Capt. David Hinkley,of Livermore,
Androscoggin county, rode sis miles
on Monday ,thc 9th day of this month,
and voted for Gen. Chamberlain for
Governor. Capt. Ilinklcy , was born
in 1765, and is, therefore, mtehundr&l
alitwo yeart of aye. , He voted for
Gen. Washington for the first Presi
dent of ' the United ' States, and hoe
voted lop f residents at every election
sine that time. . We presume there in
not another such instauce 'on record.
He hopes, he says, to live to vote for
Gen. Grant for President in' 1868, ad
he will then have, .voted or him who
founded, him who liberated, and him
wno, saved the "Kenublio Wasliino--
ton, Lincoln and Grant. - ' ;
