The Conflicting IlrporU from the Sonthern
Slates.
From the Timet. .
In Htlroatinir the tone aud temper of the
Southern pcoplo It U uulalr to consider them
as a unit Weece on the one hand, trom the
pens of 8ou(hcrn writer!", roe-colored plcturea
of a naw prosperity, based on enterprise, Indua"
try, and education, and destined to excel all the
prcstipo of the past. But Iroin other writers,
and those mottly of the proininunt and leading
men ot thp feouth, we Ret only gloomy prophe
cies of a ruined agricultural and a debased social
condition.
The checiful opinions first-named come from
the jonnper in years, the less established tn life,
the representatives of the young South, who,
while perhaps cordially sorry that the experi
ment 01 a Southern Confederacy has failed, are
Mill uncoDbCiounly elated with the hopes that
an absolutely tree government holds out to
youth and energy. And again, the prophets of
evil days are those who in any event have lost
all that was most condolatory to their pride ot
family or estate, and who can (.ee in the regene
rated' South only a "nation ol shopkeepers." with
the loss of all that in their opinion gives dignity
to a people.
booking DacK to tne old social position 01 tue
South, wt Unci a landed arwtocrucy controlling
its policy. W ithout formal titles of rank, they
had all the cssent als of a class nobility. They
were the msgnstes of the land, holding the "poor
whites" in a political subjugation designed to
keep them Ignorant and debased, and maiutain
ine tlint subjugation by the strong contrast
atlordi'd by the condition of the enslaved blacks.
Labor was tabooed as. disgraceful ; and without
labor the lower classes of whites remained,
socially the nominal equals, politically the sells,
of the great landowners.
We do not expect to sec this crushed aristo
cracy take the change good-naturedly. They are
your true conservatives, and their eyes will
always turn loudly to the faded glories of the
good' old days of class legislation and class domi
nation in social Intercourse. The same devotion
which the Cavaliers gave to "Charlie over the
water' when the dread element of popular power
dethroned the Stuarts ol England, will, for the
same reasons, bo given by the urea plautors and
statesmen ol the South to the IojI causo of
slavery.
In England to day, the dead Cobden and the
living liiiuht and Stuart Mill are the luoono
clacts of what remains of British aristocracy,
bupposo that this Knglish progressive element
were -suddenly, as has happened here, enabled
to open the tibod-eates an l confer the rights of
sullrage on the operatives and peasantry oi the
kinpdoin. A lew years ol tempetuoiis debate
would lollow, perhaps a civd war, but in the
end we should witntss the destruction of the
remains of feudalism, the overthrow ot class
legislation, the destruction of the Church entab
- lishment, atirf, at last, the breaking up of the
great landed estates. Doubtless this would bring
about a more healthful prosoerity and a more
truthful greatness lor England, but generations
woul3 pass beioro the last Jeremiad over the
"pood old times" of oppression and wrong would
be heard.
By a parity of reasoning, we do not expect to
see among the lirst families ot the South any
demonstrative or really sincere loyalty to the
new L'n on. They would destroy it il they
could but they cannot. It only remains to
treat them fairlv, and to indulge their little
sulks and petulancec Human nature is too
weak for such a sacrifice of all past and present
prejudices as some of our radicals would seem
to require. Why not let these old gentlemen
drivel and grnnible in their own highly respect
able way ? Men at the North, who are engaged
in the very risky and not-ai-all American busi
ness of "lounding a family," will sympathize
with thorn but nobody else' will care.
It is our duty to see that nothing of the grand
principle of the right of man to "life, liberty,
and the pursuit ol happiness," is abandoned.
Honestly believing thnt we are acting tor the
best interests of the Southern masses, we can
afford to be liberal to political old age and de
crepitude. It the policy of thai portion of the
Southern presa which is truly loyal would only
recogni.e and prodt by these evident antago
nisms; if, instead ot vague platitudes, they would
fairly express the irrepre-sihle conflict between
class legisla'ion and the "plain people;" it it
would become ihe advocate ot universal liberty,
iounded on universal education, and thus
attract to the support of the Government the
lower and more numerous classes, and build
them up into au industrious and substantial
middlo estate, they would tnus, by the operation
of natural laws, aud not by governmental
tyranny, send home the wedue that would sun
der (orevertho unnatural alliance between the
landed aristocracy aud the lower claesea ot the
South.
Physical Suffrage,
from the Tribunt.
Tho queiou of colored suffrage as for the
aake of convenience we call it must be dis
cussed. Some soft-headed, rhallow, and vio
lently fanatical men think to shovel it out of
the way, as they thought to shovel slavery; but
put it down as you will, and we expect to seo It
put down a good many times, it will presently
come up again to vex us. We have Jour opi
nions, but we do not pretend that they a-e in
fallible; and we are always glad to listen to what
can be said upon the other side. Mr. Senator
Davis, it we understand his remarks made in
his place 6n the HSth instant, contends that
blue Kb should not vote
1. Because a foul odor exudes from their skin,
2. Because their heels make holes in the
ground.
We have thought over tho matter with all
Eosslble care and gravity, but thus far we have
ecu unable to discover what personal fragrance
has to do with the i ight of f mirage. There was,
it is true, an ancient notion that kings were
naturally sweet-scented, and the courtiers ot
Alexander the Great told him that his body re
minded them ot violets but we believe they
lied, and Alexander, who was the bout ludge,
was of the same opinion. All we contend tor is
iairuess. There are in this city thousands of
men to whom water, soap, and towels are un
known, or at least unusued luxuries who
though called white bv couriesy, carry cuticles
grimy with the accretions of years who are
therefore not pleasant to the nostrils of their
nicer fellow-citizenB; yet they not only vote but
they vote often at the same election they not
only vote but they are voted for they not only
vote but they assault and batter those who do
notfugree with them.
What "exudes from their skins" we cannot
say, thuish we are sure that it is not Balm of a
Thousand Flowers, but that which, from morn
ing to nirht, and i'o on until the next morning.

We bow with reverence Io the dictum, but we do
wish, such is human curiosity, that he had told
us the reason why.

or through his heel not though it were a better
heel than the beel of Achilles, and had been
soused seven times in the Stix a most lu vulne
rable, indelatigable, and infalliblo heel ! Davis
refers to Cuvier, but we will wager whatever
Davis pleisos that not one word can be found in
all the works of Cuvier upon the connection
between lonff heels nnd the right of suflrsao.
These fancies are fascinating, but are they not a
little dangerous? By-andbv who can insure

Beecher Proclaims tho Gospel
From t?te Wurld.
Mr. Beecher has been locturing to crowded
audiences in several cities of the interior.
The first part of his address was a thoroughly
New England view of the causes which led to
the war a contest, us he regarded it, with
unalloyed liberty and intelligence on one sido,
and slavery and ignorance on the other. Be
tween two such issues, a war of physical force
was, he argued, inevitable. This position of his
argument savored more of Mahommedan fatal
ism than of Christian hope. There w as in it far
too little confidence in tem pernio subjection to
that true wisdom aud sound statesmanship
which is ever
with pood
Sti'l overcoming evil, aud by small
Acccuiplislitu reat tlnutts aud worldly aims."
By these means the pal h of pragross woull
have been travelled more lowly, but wo should
have reached the mark more surely and ru re
safely. Many hundreds ol thousands of lives
noui know how many would have boeu spared.
We should have saved vast expeudit urcs ot that
monev which should be so couteuiptibic a consi
deration in the hands of him who has pleuty of
it, but is so truly important to tho daily laborer
whose toil it represents, and who is now con
demned to work longer tor less food, less cloth
ins?, aud trgher tents, aud loA-er position in the
social scale. The negro himself lias not so far
been profited bv the sudden change. Mr.
Beecher, we believ'e.exprcssedaa opiniuu that ten
years must elapse belOrc the material condition
of the former slave would be greatly improved.
But all these issues are those ot the past. We
cannot recall them it we would. They are dead
and have no life in thorn. "Let, Uu-u, the dead
bury their dead." All legislation is tor the future
only, and it should pro tit by the experience aud
lessons of the past.
We have sincere pleasure in observing th
moderation and prautlcal wisdom of Mr.
Beecher on the real questions of the present
times. It is true he still cling.-! to certain pecu
liarly Yankee notions, more than we think is
correct in reason or useful in its tendency. It
certainly served his purpose with his audience
to assure them ot their ereat and remarkable
intelligence. It is quite the common custom of
legal advocates, in addressing a jury, to con
gratulate themselves publicly on having heaters
so peculiarly intelligent. No other universal
dodge endears a pleader so tenderly to the hearts
ot nis hearers, and soothes their reason so gently
into acquiescence witn nis appeals, ho mauy
men would rather be told they aro shie!,
astute, and knowing than that they are honest,
virtuous, or religious; but when Mr. Beecher
ascribes the great prosperity of this natron to
its "intelligence," without recognizing, by ho
much as one word, the immense resources which
Providence, not our own 'cuteness or smartness.
has placed at our disposal, he teaches men that
"wisdom in their own conceit" which u pro
verbially unfa voi able to any high degree of In
telligence. Air. lieecner, we are sure, cannot tail to see
the error of Sir Morton Peto, who, on his re
turn to England, coolly advised the people of
his native country to "imitate the resources" of
the I'nited States. It would be well, certainly.
for that nation to manufacture a chaiu or two of
lakes like those on our northern frontier. Its
prosperity would be much increased by creating
three or lour territories of rich land like Illinois,
two or three adequate and appropriate rivers,
and a few hundred miles of Hocky Mountains
full of gold and silver, and locating thein iu the
middle of their littlo island. It would bo well
done if it were done quickly. Will any "lutelli-gent-'
New Enelaudr undertake the contract?
If it could bo done either in France, Germany, or
Knglaiid, the prosperity ot those countries would
be greatly increased. And jet we have all ttieiie
temporal'blessings, and far mne than these, to
aid our prosperity, wun nine exercise or our own
"intelUeence." and far too olteu with at best a
dim and imperfect recognition of the Superior
intelligence wmcnmauu mem ail and gave t lie in
to us.
But we cannot regard Mr. Beecher with any
prejudice. We will not stop to inquire whether
it is uom souna rcusuno, tne warmth ol His
own nature, or Christian principles, that he now
heartily advocates the happiness, honor, and
wellare of our common country, and wisely and
honorably yields, in some degree, his own
opinions ana hi own wlBhej, in certain particu
lars, to a better and stronger desire for the wel
fare and genuine union of the nation.
Mr. Beecher boldly proclaimed his own do
sire tor the extension or suffrage, not only to
all men, but also to all womeu meaning, of
course, all women as well as men of every
color, though this was implied rather than
elaborately asserted In his discourse bel'oving
the exclusion of the "gentler and purer sex"
to be a relio ol bygone aad barbaric ages. The
frredmen. too, should have all the rights of
labor, rights of contract, clvlo rights, an 1 the
right of suffrage. "But," said Mr. Beecher, in
one of bis ccntidentiol and Imnres-ive whispers,
"shall we iusist upon that' Is it now too
late?"
"If I," Paid he, with one of those humorous
fctmiffs and intona'ions which would have ma le
hia fortune in another line of life which is not
popular in New Enelnnd, "had been President,
I would have done differently." But as ho would
not hft Pieslient. ho would submit, for the suke
ol aidinor the cause of peace and the welfare of
the Bcuth. Aud then Mr. Beecher led off iu one
of those generous and impassioned appeals
which reach to the heart of every man h(
henra them, aud has a true, and honest heart
within Mm.
He would have Georgia and South Carolina as
prohperous as Massachusetts and New York;
lie would have liberty for the Southern white
mn; defeated in arms, he should be elevated
and made prosperous and happj. Not, be
thought, that the cause of universal sutTra?o
should be surrendered; but lit the freedman
qualify himself mora and more for the sacred
tuhilcpc; let Ohio, also, where the colored man
has no vole at all, Michigan, where he has no
vote, and other Northern States where ho has no
vote, cleanse themselves thoroughly betore th'-y
condemn the South. He would have no more
shedding ot blood, ro hanging, not even of JeilY
l'avis, tor political ollenses; he would nave a
tot ill cessation of strife; it we are to go on and
hung all who have done wrong, where, he aiked,
would the executions cease T
He urged that it was not only necessary for the
welfare of the nation that the North should be
generous, but that she should be so thorouahly
and heartily in earnest in her generosity that the
South could not help knowing and fueling the
strength and purpose of her motives ana her
actions. He exerted the Utmost power of his
eloquence and vigor in support of these views.
What.il he now and then struck wildly at the
Democrats ? It pleased him, and it docs not
hurt us.
e are pleased to find so wholesome a chango
in public sentiment as to permit Mr. licechrr to
expres so many worthy and Christian senti
ments in Erie county, where poor Benedict, the
village 'preacher among the Baptists, was im
prisoned, and w hence he was carried to Wash
ington, in defiance of all law, becanse ho read
and preached too literally from the text of the
beautiful eernion ouee delivered on the Mount.
The Fleeting of the Fiench Chambers
Malting in Washington for the Speech
of Napoleon on Mexico
From the Herald.
I'rom our European news by the i3ia it ap
pears that the French Smate and Corps Legts
latif bud been summoned to assemble on tho 22d
Jauuary (last Monday), and that the opposition
deputies had held a meeting at which "they had
decided to direct their efforts . chiefly to the
Mexican quobtiou." At the same time, from in
clination received from Washington, we iufer,
that tho Committee on Fore iuu Adairs on the
House ol Kepresenlutives will withhold any re
port or iccommeudatiou m rctercuce to tois
Mexican controversy, until they shall have
leurmd what the Emperor Napoleon has bud to
say to his Legislative Chambers upon this very
iiiipo.tuut suOieet. it is generally believed tnat
his speech w:ll embrace tne declaration ot a
iiurpi se to obiudon ms imperial Mexican enter
prise, and an explanation to cover his retreat
satisfactory io France. At all events, we have
reason to anticipate that the receipt ot the Em
pcioi's speech will be promptly followed by such
action tu the part ot Congress us
ikiiv set m to demand.
'lhat the Emperor's speech will define a line
ot policy on his part satisfactory to our Govern'
meut we have reason to believe from a lave sig'
Liticaiit. leading article in the oflicial MonUeur,
anil Horn .-miliar articles trom oilier leudimi
French journals and periodicals. The purpose
ot isayoleuii thus suggested we tiud very broadly
expressed in the Fans correspondence or the
Jiwci eudance Uele oi December 31, iu which
the writer su.k: "We expect soon to sec in the
.journals which ore the rccip ents of govern
mentai inspiration a note w hich may permit us
to sec, in no very duiant future, tno evacuatiou
ol M.;.xieo." From the same authority it further
appears lhat "the highest circles" in Puris "are
becoming enlightened as to Mexico and very
ind.t nanr as to Maximilian, who is showing hnu-
seli at the suine time boih incapable aud un
grateful to France, to whom ne owes every
thing;" and that "it is even regretted that in the
framing ot' his Government precedents rendered
til relations with Juarez impossible." The
French journals, it further appears, are quite
disjiusttc with the indifference and ingratitude
of Austria, the Power most directly interested in
Maximilian's au venture v but a Power which has
given nothing towards his support, except an
occasional "journalistic puragruph."
All these are but straws, and yet they are suf
ficient to maik a decided change in the wind,
anil Uiis change in reierence to Mexico may in
volve a change of Louis Napoleon's policy in
reference io Italy, the Pooe, the Papal States,
Venice, and Austria. It is evident that Austria
regards with suspicion this Mexican present to
Maximilian, that Napoleon begins to feel that
it is a bud investment, and that Maximilian is
doing ail that he can to turn the tables upon hia
master, like the mock Prince of Coino, with his
extravagant presents and expenditures. But, in
addition to ail these embarrassments, the Empe
ror of the Freuch is called upon to determine
how his experimental empire in Mexico can be
sustained w hen its recognition in anv shape or
loiru at Washington has been olhcially pro-
at
nounccd "impracticable." We cunno. there
fore, lesist the conclusion that, as Napoleou at
Yillu Franca made peace when the Italian war
began to usnume proportions beyond his origi
nal estimates, so now with his Mexican scheme,
involving nun m unloosed tor complications, he
will gracetuily withdraw. We daie say, indeed,
that the two Houses of Congress, in waiting lor
his anticipated announcement ot this purpose,
a doina so upon otlieial iutormation.
Meantime the Liberals in Mexico, having re
duced their predatory warfare to something like
a regular system of operations, continue to give
Maximilian abundant employment. If he ad
vances hi troops to the extremities of his empire
the Liberals are up in the interior, and playing
the mischief even in the suburbs of his capital;
as Le withdraws his forces from the borders into
the interior again, the Liberals reoccupy the
country behind him. In fact, his authority in
Mexico is limited to the places and roads occu
pied aud commanded by his 6ol.1iera, and every
exposed (let ucl ment is liable at any moment to
be cut off by tue .invisible but omnipresent
Juarists. The Mexicans, through halt a dozen
generations, have been trained io this business,
it is theimorinul condition. They have never
known uiithtig else.
Thus airain6t twenty or thirty thousand
French, lielgians, Torcos, and native renegades,
the Liberals cau keep Maximilian busy for
twenty years to come. The savage alternative
ot their extermination only makes the matter
v oi se lor Maximilian. Two hundred ot bis Bel
gians, taken prisoner.', have protested against
this barbarous sy.-teiu of revenge. They say
thnt "they came to Mexico solely in order to act
as a guard to our Piiucess, but whom you (Maxi
m diun) have lorced to tight ngauist principles
Identical with our own;" and that, had the Libe
rals lc'lowed the law of retaliation, their lives
would .lave been sacriuced. 'lireuer," ia behalf
ot hunt elf aud fellow lXlgian prisoners, in a
remonstrance "to the representatives of the
Iklgiau nation," published in a Liberal paper in
the central Staie of Michoucan, culls upon them
to intervene, and says that the Belgian Legion
desire to return home, that they bavo had
enough of "this iniquitous war," und ho calls
"m the name of Belgium, wuose honest confi
dence has been abused."
If such are the sentiments of Maximilian's
oris in ally devoted Belgians, it may be imagined
that his French soldiers are not over-auxious to
remain iu bis somewhat too dangerous and un
profitable service, aud it inuv be so noosed, too.
that, apart trom the great difficulty ot the Mon
roe doctrine, the Emperor ot the French has had
enough of his German Fhnperor and empire over
the Mexicans. The e moire is a failure, and we
expect in Napoleon's speech, which was doubt
less delivered on Monday to his legislative bodies.
the announcement that the expeiiment is to be
abandoi.ed. with certain indemnit es to franco
Kegarding Louis Napoleon as a sasaeious states
man, we can, as mutters uo stand, reach no
other conclusion.
