A Test Ciuo lor tho President.
J'rom (he Tribune.
Whether the Rebel Status Khali bo admitted
promiscuously, or whether each tball be heard
on lt own merits, are questions upon whloh
Congress and thaf President, differ. , Congress
proposes to consider eaoh application. Tho
FreHident insists that all the (States are recon
structed according to hie nietbod, and ahould
bo admitted. lie could not, therefore, Justly
object to having tha whole question tried on
the evidence In any one of his eleven casjg.
Suppose Congress should .adopt his view, and
agree to examine the credentials of Louisiana
as a specimen State. She is doubly fortunate in
having sent not only Senators and Representa
tives to Wa'hington, but also a Delegate, claim
ing to represent the Territory of Louisiana. The
latter, the lion. 11. C. Wurmoth, has collected,
in a pamphlet of great abilitv, the leading facta
and argument on the general question.
It appears there are two Constitutions of Loui
siana in existence. One is tho amended Con
stitution 01 1861, which requires the oillcors of
tho (State Government to swear nllesrianco to the
Confederate States. Piobably thai ioHtrument
will be admitted to be a somewhat imperfect
basis tor the Congressional representation of the
State. The other is the Constitution lrained by
a convontion called under a military order,
known as General Orner No. 35, dated at the
headquarters of General Banks, March 11, 1864.
In this order, no respect was paid to any previ
ous organic law. It was based on the supre
macy of military law, was carried bv military
iorce, tempoiarily sustained by the same means,
and ever sineo. down to this day, has been
upheld, overridden, or disregarded at the discre
tion of the military authorises. It was ratified
by H30 votes to 15C6 against it; tho whole beini
cast in twenty parishes, while iu twenty-eisjht
parishes no elections were held. In laUO the
vote in thoto twenty parishes was 26,tW4; the
whole vote of the State, 6i,610. So much for
tho "popular" character ot the Constitution on
will cli the existinor Htata (,' nvprntiipnf la
panl.cd.
There are three parties in Louisiana. The
Democratic party, which at tno last eloctioa
cast 23,000 votes, denounces in its platlorm tho
Government under which it voted as the "crea
tion ol tiaud, violence, and corruption." The
Republican parly, casting 19,000 votes, white
and black, ignores tue Constitution wholly, de
claring "thpre has boon no State Government
here save that which tho Governor, tempered
by the military authorities, saw fit to give us
There is a third party, calling itself Conserva
tive, and which naturally omits to have any
opinions in its platlorm; but its leaders, ono of
whom was a claimant lor a seat in the last Con
gress, are toeiuliniz letters to Washington urgln
Congress to protect tbem trom the very Govern
ment in virtue of whose title tbey bufore asserted
the right ol the State to representation.
It we turn irom an inquiry iuta the origin of
this Government to an inquiry into its charac
ter, we find that it is to-day nothing but a ma
chine for restoring to political power the Rebels
who, in 18U1, against tho known majority of tho
people, engineered the State out of the Union,
lhe Legislature which has just adjourned was
composed almost exclusively of persons lately
in insurrection against the Government. The
courts churee thu grand luries that it is tieason
to advocate equal suffrage. The Executive is a
rcnecade radical, who has abaudoned the party
which originally elected him Lieutenant-Governor,
gone clean over to tho Rebels, proclaims
the disorganization of "the Abolition party,
fpite of its appnrent sucjee in the war," and
predicts its death as a result of an attempt to
enforce taxation lor the maintenance of
the puulia credit. He has organized militia
to protect Rebels and harass loyalist.
'General John Scott, of the late insurgent
forces, is General John Scott of tho Louisiana
militia; Colonel Louis Rush, of the C. S. A.
forces, Is now Colonel Louis Hush of the Louisi
ana militia. So it is over the whole State of
Louisiana. Rebel soldiers, otiieered by Rebel
oflicers, with Federal arms, are to bo tho mili
tary questioners of the rights, libert.es, and
property of Union men. Tuese are to have no
voice at the ballot-box which will be heard, and
they have no arms given them to protect thotn
selves against outrage and oppression." The
Legislature backs up tho Governor with a
law prohibiting "any person or persons to
carry firearms on the premises or plantations
of any citizen, without the consent of the
owner or proprietor, o'.her than in lawful dis
charge of a civil or military order," under
penalty of fine and imprisonment. In pursuit
oi ine same policy, the schools lor the treedmen
have been discontinued all over the State, whilo
tho Ireedmen are heavily taxed to support
schools trom w hich they are excluded. Cases
ot indictment by tue grand jury, nnck trial bo
lore a Rebel court, and imprisonment lor the
ollense of loyaltj.are perfectly well authenti
cated. That sort of law is mercifully reserved
for the whites. For the blacks we And a code of
laws establishing asystem ol serfdom, iorbiddlng
the free passase ol blacks Irom one plantation
to anoiher, and under tho lorin of apprenticeship
and vagrant laws, re-enaeting slavery in faet.
The details of these statutes we hive heretofore
explained, and need not repetit.
Such is a lant and imperfect picture of -one
State that by the mouth ot the President pre
sents itself as a member of the Cniou, and de
mands immediate admission to Congress. Its
claim has no sinsrle element of legality or of
loyalty. The Covernmeut of tho State is re
publican neither in form nor in substance. Tho
commonest rights not morely of the treedmen,
but ol the wuito Unionists ot tho State, are con
temptuously denied. There may, or may not
be, any other State which presents in any re
spect a better record, or better evident nf
loyalty to-duy. But what we say is, that this is J
one oi me eleven Diaies tae immediate u mis
sion of all of which is urged by the President as
not merely advisable but imperative; and the
merits of his advico mut be fudged oy its etfoct
in this one instance. 11 it be dolled that the
test ia a lair one, we revert immediately to the
theory ol Congress, that the claims ot each State
ahull be considered separately ; and eaeh ad
mit' ed or rejected on its merits. Which alter
native will the lriends oi the " President's
Policy" accept?
Tie Canadian Ministers on the Reciprocity
Negotiations.
Fn m the Timet.
The Canadian Minister of Finance has availed
birueelf ot a political banquet to explain and
vii dioate to his countrymen the course which
ho and bis co-delegates pursued in the recent
negotiations at Washington. Some of his re
marks pose8 an interest boyond the Proviuce,
as st rving to indicate the grounds on which the
proposition submitted to the Committee ot
Wave and Moan's was founded, and the conclu
sions at which a clear-headed man has arrived
in regard to the immediate effect of the abroga
tion ol the treaty, with no commercial substi
tute of any kind.
In the first place, Mr. Gait justified the readl-n-es
of the deiega.es to acquiesce In reciprocal
lecslatlon instead or a treaty, as tho basis of
future intercourse, and their further willingness
to disregard points of form, if these were found
to interfere with the main object in view. "It
is not by standing np for minor points," hi said,
1 "that a mad preserves his seli-respect, but by
bolding last to those great points in which more
than mere et qu-ttu is coucerued;'' a remark
which we commend to some u the gen 'lumen at
W ci shi nu ton, who would allow the whole ques
tion of reclproci.y to go by deiault. raiher than
ttive up their punctiliousness iu the mannorof re
opening negotiations. In sueh a ouae, piecodouce
THE DAVL1 EVENING TELEGRAPII. PHILADELPHIA. THURSDAY.
Or formality amounts to little. The main end to
be attained is the renewal of some commercial
arrangement, which can be reached onlv by a
resumption of neotiationa, tending to the ad
justment of aaatually aatlsiaoiory terms. 'To
naot the bill now belore Coaaress, or any other
bill, without consultation with representative
of the Provinces, will be futile; for it will give
enect to but one view of the question, wblle
leally useful legislation preiuppos8 an arrange
ment resting upon mutual concessions and se
curing mutual advantagea.
Although necessarily disposed to encourage a
cheerful spirit among the provincials, and to
hold up a prospect of trade in other directions,
as an ultimate equivalent lor the trade that will
b" lost with the United 8tatear Mr. Gait trankly
admits the present embarrassment hioh must
follow tlie cessationof reciprocity. He expresses
great regret . at the failure of the late negotia
tions, "because," he is reported to have said, "I
believe we cannot suddenly change our cus
tomers without inconvenience, and because, as
a practical man, 1 cannot shut myerei to tho
faot that there wi I be a greit disturbance of
trade resulting from the termination o( tho
treaty." Undoubtedly; and from this "great dis
turbance of trade" oar mercantile community
will aufler as well as the people of the provinoea.
It la not possible suddenly to arrest a trade so
vast as that which has grown up under the
treaty without producing Inconvenience and
loss on both aides of the lakes. Comparatively
of course, the disturbance will be less seriously
felt by this country than by Canada, because In
our case the amount of trade to bo affected bears
a smaller proportion to our aggregate of trade.
Some Interests, especially upoa the' frontier, will
nevertheless suffer seriously, and, in the existing
position of business matters, beset as they are
with uncertainty, we cannot prudently afford to
be indifferent to a trad amounting to sixty or
eevcuty millions annually.
Mr. Gait is "not without hope that the time
is not remote when the United States will re
store the trade to a satisfactory footing." If
Congress were not given over to the negro, to
the neglect of the vast financial and commercial
Droblema whirh await anliitl ra .1,1
ope that a lew months would suffice to estab

their nature, and consequently more fruitful of

result will be reached; and meanwhile, perhaps,

ongress the importance of the interests at
Stako, and the necessity of caring for thorn
promptly and practically. We have reasons tor
believing that the Secretary or the Treasury ap
preciates the embarrassments to his Department
and the injury to the revenue which will be in
evitable it no arrangement be entered inio. The
mcasuie prepared cy the Committee of Ways and
Means is in itself proof that that bodv at length
begins to realize the necessity or action. It is
therefore expedient for the comraeroial bodies
ot our cities to mane themselves heard upon the
subject; as it is also expedient for those who are
familiar with the trade carried on under the
treaty, and who will be the Orst ti feel tho effects
ot its discontinuance, to exert themselves by
petition and otucrwise to induce the Ways and
Means Committee to revise its rchen.e, and adapt
it more judiciously to the purposo contemplated.
The Chamber of Commerce of thia city might,
with particular proprioty, take the lead in the
movement; for having last year adopted a report
in favor of a renc wat of the old treitv, with
modification, its members may be surposed to
l'ok with more than common satis'actiun upon
the liberal terms wulch tho Provinces aro now
prepared to sanction.
Ths Great Issue and ibe Groat Danger Be
lore the Country.
Frem ttit Herald.
"Revolution 1" said Henry Clay on an import
ant occasion before Congress, "we are in tho
midst of a revolution," The remark was not in.
applicable in his day; but it is a thousand times
more applicable to our prpsent political situa
tion. Wo had on Tuesday, lor instance, a resolu
tion from the Committee on Reconstruction, de
fining the position of Congress in reference to
the admission of tho members from Tennessee.
In order to show how far tho exclusive policy
thus devoloped is iu conflict with the President's
restoration policy, we reproduce this morning,
in lull, his admirable off hand speech, of the 22d
of February to a visiting body of the citiaens of
Washington.
On the same evening, In support of the Presi
dent, we had here In New York anambf-pamby,
nnlk-aud-water speech from Mr. Secretary Sew
ard, according to which everything was as it
should be, aad President and Congress would
work atlectionately together. But what is the
truth ! Lpt the intelliuent reader look over tbia
frank, earnest, and patriotic address of Presi
dent Johnson, and then to the subsequent pro
ceeding of Congress, and Mr. Seward's speeoh
will appear as a mockery and a delusion.
To repeat an expression to which he owes his
lame as the great leader of the Northern anti
slavery crusaders, there is an "irrepressible con
flict" between Congress and tne Administration,
in regard to which we have no promise or pros
psct of a compromise. The Issue aud the danger
thus broadly presented to tae country, we thiuk
we cannot toe often or too earnestly submit as
demanding the instant aud serious attention of
the American people.
What is this rupture between Congress and
the Executive ? The President contends tuat in
the reomafization of the Southern States on a
basis which includes the ratlllcation ot tho great
constitutional amendment abolishing slavery,
the repudiation ol secession aud the Rebel State
debts, the recognition of the sovereignly of the
United States, and the protection ot the freed
men in their civil rinhta, the States concerned
are entitled to readmtssion into Congress, so far
as they can present representatives ol approved
and undoubted loyalty. He pleads for their

Ana w nai is ineir response r mat not one Re
presentative from the lately rebellious States
shall be admitted into either House short ol a
law ol Coagres declarinc each ot said S ates in
its turn satisfactorily reconstructed and quail
lied tor admission. And what are the qualifica
tions demanded ? On Monday la-t there was a
report from the Reconstruction Comnlttce to
the Home, proposing to admit the Teunessee
members "on an equal footing with the othor
Slates, on the express condition that the people
of Tennessee" maintain their present local laws
excluding all Rebelb trom the elective franchise
for five years, and from eligibility to oflice as
long, and that the State shall atee never in
any shape to recognize any of the debts of the
Rebellion, nor claim or allow any eompansation
for emancipated slaves; and that these condi
tions be ratified by the State beiurn the act of
her admihtlon shall lake effect. ThU was the
report of the Committee: but it wa referred
back to them with the objection f'rotn sovoral of
the members that this plan "does not afford suffi
cient guarantees of fidelity to the Urlou and of
protection to tho treedmen."
With the return of the report to the nouse we
shall doubtless have these omissions provided
for: but we have enoutrh to establish the spirit
and put pose ot this Congress. In the indignant
retusfll of the House to receive an official com
rounicaton from Governor Worth, of North
Carolina, we have the declaration in eifectthat
all the work of Southern reconstruction doue by
the President joea lor nothing; ihat Conaress
rejects it, aud ill apply its own condition of
estoration. The prospect, tuer,-fore, of the
admission Into Congress ol any ot the eleven ex-
tiuucu Douufrn Htaiea tor at lenat two yean to
come la very gloomy. In this policy ol exclu
sion Stevens and kis lollowara are playing a
dejperate game for the next Presidency; but it
ia full ot mischief and liangat with danger to
the country. It Involves arloua losses to us all
and to the Treasury, in the continued derange
ments ot Southern ltdustry and trade, and the
aga ravat'on rather than the abatement of tba
social ana political demoralization of the South
growing out of the Rebellion. .
But there If still the greater danger of a revo
lution In the Government itself, from tha avatnm
of the fathers of the Union to a centralized des
potism. There are already constitutional
amendments enough before the two Houses, if
Ruopieu, to revive tue reirn ot the Long Parlia
ment and another Cromwell to turn it out of
doors. ThePreaident takes his stand atralnst
these dangerous innovations, even tu the extont
cf releciing all powers of patronage greater than
those which he believes the Constitution will war
rant. He believes that with the amendment
securing ths abolition ot slavery throughout
the country against all contingencies, the Con
stitution will answer our present purposes.
Down to the late Rebellion it bad carried us
tfuough seventy years of progress and prosper
ity, and nnapproached In the growth of any
other nation. It had carried us throuarh domes
tic trials and foreitn wars in spite of the lncu
bnsof African slavery; and with that inoubus
removed, surely the two sections may live and
prosper in harmony under the Constitution as
it is, till aufliclently harmonized for its revision
With all the States in council.
This is the way or uuIod and aftv; but it Is
not tho way of our present fanatical'Radicals of
Congress. Their way is that of the provincial
discipline of the Roman empire, and tne mainte
nance of their power in the Government,
though It may change the Government itself trom
the servant to the master of the people from a
republic to an oligarchy established inConcress.
This Is the daneer against which President John
son stands forth the champion of the people,
and the people, in vindication of their sovoreign
rights, must stand by the President. The issue
and the danger before them will admit of no
other course.
Tne British Noith American Confederation.
Frtm the World.
The project of uniting all the British North
American provinces in one grand confederation,
which was agitated last year, and fell through
oy tne opposition of the lower provinces, la re
vived with the prospect of early success. , At a
banquet which took place, a day or two sinco,
in Cornwall, Upper Caada, where the principal
Canadian Ministers were present and made
speeches", this subject was put forward, in a tone
of confident prediction, as if no doubt was en
teitained el an immediate favorable'result. Tho
Influence.o; the Imperial Government has been
brought to. bear on tho lpwer provinces, and it
is expected that the union will be consummated
ut an early day.
One of the most powerful causes of the now
Impetus given to this project, is the failure to
procure the renewal or extension ot the Reci
procity treaty. The geographical position of the
upper provinces, which stretch along behind a
belt ot our States interposed between t jein and
the ocean, rei ders intercourie with us, and
transit tor their products through our territory,
a commercial necessity. It they cannot obtain
it by treaty, there is a strong temptation to ac
quire its advantages by annexation. The con
lederation is one 01 tne means ot countervailing
this tendency. If consummated, it will foster
national suirit and the pride of independence;
tor nobody supposes that so populous aud ex
tensive a country, united under one Govern
ment, can long remain a devendencv of a foreign
crown. Great Britain tLlnks the United States
are already too large and powerful for the gene
ral balance of power. She would, under anv
circumstances, object to our further growth by
annexation. She has much stronger obiections
to our enlargement at her expense.
She has no expectation of holdiner Canada per
manently; she regards it as ceaalj that her
North American colonies will be ultima ely an
nexed to the United States, or ultimately inde
pendent. She caii concede their independence'
without loss of preiiiee; and by that means
establish an allied natiou as a partial counter
poise to the United States. This, at present, is
the leading object o: her American policy. She
is doing all in her power to favor a spirit of
self-importance, and to .promote tne desire of
independence in her North Ameriiran posses
sions. She encourages them to exercise some ot
the highest functions of sovereign nations. Her
ministers and agents are allowed to go to Wasn
uigton and negotiate directly tor reciprocity,
without any appearance of responsibility except'
to the colonial Government. In all matters of
domestic legislation she leaves them perfectly
free. By the projocted union thoir thoughts will
be strongly turned towards independence; and
she can easily direct their national aspirations
towards a throne, to be filled by one of tne soos
of Victoria.
If there are germs of an annexation party in
the upprr provinces, there ore none in the lower.
But 11 Canada should be annexod. the feeble
lower provinces could not expect lone t escane
absorption by so powerlul a neighbor. When
the United Stales should come to own the terri
tory on both sides the St. Lawrence, they would
natnrally covet the provinces tnat guard the
entrauce to its mouth, and lie on the gulf 5nto
which 11 empties. In view of the danger of
ultimate annexation, resulting from the loss of
t he Reciprocity treaty, a successful appeal cau
be made to the loyalty and British feeling of the
lowsr provinces in favor of the confederation;
and we shall probably witness, this spring, the
completion of an arrangement fraught with Im
portant consequences in tho future history of
this continent.
