THE DATIA EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 18G6. THE KEW YORK PRESS. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE LEADING JOURNALS UPON CURRENT TOPICS. COMPILED KTKHT DAT JTOB TRLFGRAFH, The Vnlon Stilera mid The Polldcal Cninpaigu. From the Timet. One of the clilcf controlling forces In the poli tics of the country for many future years will be that of the great nrmy of volunteer soldiers who bore our flag in the late gigantic conteot, and carried through to a triumphant conclusion the war for the Union. The report of the Secretary of War niadoin December last, showed that at the clone of the Rebellion, or in Hay ot Ittfltjear, thrre were over ten hundred Ihotuiand men in the Union armies; and besides these, there were probably half as many mere who lind seen service, for a greater or longer period of time, but who had been mustered out becaune of the expiration f their term of enlistment or for other reasons. All of this enormous force of volunteer sol diers are now back among us, and scattered through the country as peaceful citizens. They are voters, almost to a man. They are nearly all ounu men, ot vigorous character, and ith" intelligent convictions, their dispositions sob. red b the scenes they have gone throng n, and their ideas enlarged by the experiences of the held Hnd the uarcn. Thoy hare an immense influence in all communities, but especially in the rural localities. The choicest young men of the village or district patriotically enlisted in the army Their career was watched with eager interest by their relatives and neighbors. Ou their return, each one of them became a centre of influence and power, and will so con tinue for the remainder of lite. There is not a State or a county, a city or ahaoilet, in the entire North but has more or less of these dis banded volunteers, officers and soldiers in their midst, and in numerous places they can con trol, by their direct ana indirect iniluence, the whole course ot public aflairs. The radicals have counted upon gettiug thi-t controlling political power on the side of their measures and schemes. Having confronted the Southerners on the field of buttle, bavin? suf fered wounds and losses because of the Rebel lion, having the most patriotic leelings, and tbe most decided convictions, it seemed as thouirh it might be easv to operate upon them by the memories of the past, and to keep alive in their hearts those passions which inflamed them in the day ot buttle, if they could bp got, as a bodv, on the side of the radicals, tho triumph of the latter in future elections would be secured, and their power in the country would be made permanent for tit least a generation. but there are signs that In tins case they have counted without tueir host. The larae number of deli gates to the Philadelphia Convention of officers who bore a distinguished pait in the war, but who have now returned to civil lite, was the first important sign we had that the in telligence of the volunteer army was prepared to play an intelligent and independent part in national politics. From the Western and the Eastern and the Central States we had members ot the highest military distinction, and there was hardly a delegation from any quarter but bad in it leading men who, at tlie beginning of last year, were battling lor the ling ot the nation in the States ot th" South. It is absurd, not to say wicked, base, and un graletul, lor the radicals lo designate such men as "Copperheads." It is ridiculous to accuse them ol a want of devotion to the liberties ot their country. It is preposterous to say that they are now lowering their flag before Rebels, or that they are selling the glory of their past history for a mess of pottunc. The epithets "which the Iribitne and kindred oreans heap upon the members ot a Convention in which, there is so large mi infusion of such au element, are foolish a9 well as outrageous. But instead of effecting their object, the radicals will only show our volunteer Boldiprs what kind of men they are who are now seeking to rule and ruin the country. But this is not the only indication of the course of sentiment and action among the olli cers and soldiers of the army of the Union." There have been two important meeting of ofliceis ol conservative politics within the last lew days, the latest ot which was held at Wash ingtom The attendance was large aud distin guished, and preliminary preparations were jnado for holdlntr, in a short time, a National Convention of the Union officers of the lute wur who are in favor ol the policy of President Johnson. A ecntleman who was present at oue ot these meetings, and who has the most extensive acquaintance in the circles of which we i-peak, says that the assemblage wa3 of the most important and significant character, mid gives it us his opinion that it will sood be seen that ut least nine-tenths of the brave men who lately led our armies are in favor of the con servatives' policy of the Admiuistration, and w ill be lound supporting President Johnson as warmly in the political campaign as they sup ported his prodocessor on the held of battle. By this we can judge of the course of the raak anil tile; lor, as the feeling of officer and soldier was oue in the field, so now it is oue w lieu both have returned to the position of citi.eus. We believe that to-duy the greut body of pa triotic citizens who lat-t year, wore the army blue are now united in sentiment with thp con servative Union party of the nation. They do not desire That the splendid heroism tnuv dis placed aeainst the Rebel soldiers should be lollowed by such a mean and contemptible war as the radicals are now waging against the Southern people. They fought thfir toes like men, but when these toes succumbed they would treat them luce men aud citizens, and with a magnanimity worthy of tha victors. It is a mistake to suppose that our soldiers are tilled with revenge and malice uirainst thoe who were arrayed on the other side. Ou the contrary, they are anxious to stretch forth the hand ol fellowship, and ak toein to join in promoting the prosperity of the country and spnurmur the freedom and elorv of these Untied States. " The vast importance aud influence of such a feeling upon the politics or' the country will coon make itself apparent in a manner that but few es pect. Tlic European Fence PrellmiimrleH Im perial UxpttUNiou of Primula. From the Herald. The most extraordinary documont murking any of the many rectifications of the balance of power in' Europe for a thousand years, is the text ot the preliminaries of peace agreed upon between Prussia and Austria, which was pub lished in Tuesday's Herald. It amounts to an official recognition by Austria of her complete subjugation, and that she thankfully accepts the gracious terms vouchsafed by Bismark whereby her existence as an Independent power Is still recognized. There is nothing in Rny of her repeated humiliations by the first Napoleon which can be compared with her humiliation by Bismark. At the outset of the war Austria, with her supporting German States and princi palities, was considered as more than a match In military strength and resources for Prussia and Italy combined. This was doubtless the opinion of Napoleon, and that, in being ulti mately called upon to interpose with his army lor the sake of peace, Fiance would secure the lion's hare ol the spoils. But the astonishing efficiency and superiority ot the Prussian armies, and their unparalleled activity In pusbine forward over all Impediments from Dresden to Vienna, have batlled all the calculations of outside diplomatists, and spoiled the whole programme of Napoleon. The Paris journal La trance is very nuturally astonished tit the rapacity of Bismark, as disclosed in the text of these peace preliminaries: for surely, beyond tbe limits of Prussia, no such Imperial scheme ol expansion on the part of the skilful bold, And nuoWou Bismark was dreamed of. Let us briefly consider It. In tho first place, with the exception of the Lombardo-Venitian kingdom, which gnes to Italy, the Austrian monarchy remains Intact. This whs a generous concession to Austria, for from what follows it Is apparent that Bismark hnd the whole empire at his disposal. By tho second articlo of these preliminaries Austria recognizes the dissolution of tbe Germanic Con ledeiation as it has hitherto existed, and gives her assent to a new Northern organization, with her total exclusion from it. The Austrian Em peror also consents to the proposed Northern Confederation tinder Prussia, and to a separate union of the States south of tbe river Main, "whose national bonds with the Conttderation of North Germany will form the objects of an ulterior understanding between the two par ties." The plain Kngllsh of this is, that having absorbed all the States, Duchies, etc., north of the Main, J'rusMa, at her own convenience, may take all south ot said river, Austria having ex cluded herself from any further voice in the matter. The plan of absorption thus provided for, when carried out, will give to Prussia the control of some thirty-five or forty million"! of Germans. But, auaiu, the Emperor of Austria transfers to the King of Prussia all his riehts and claims to the Duchies of Schlcswig llolstein, with the reservation that the people of North Schlcswig shall be again united to Denmark it they so ex press themselves In a vote freely iriven. Bis mark. profiting by the lessons of Napoleon in this business of popular sutlrage, will doubtless know how to manage this election. Here, then, will be another important annexation of terri tory and population to the strength of Prussia; for she will tain with the seaports and coast of Sehleswig-Holstein something far more valuable than their lands aud people. Yet, strain, Austria agrees to pay, in ejepss of all drawbacks on ac count of lier Schleswle-Holstein expenses, the sum of twenty mllllous of thalcrs towards Prussia's expenses of the late war, and further agrees that Bismark may dispose of the king dom of Saxony aud levy upon it his war contri butions ot his discretion, and so on to the end of the chapter. ' Such are the preliminaries of peaee agreed upon between these high contrhctlrg pur tics. In three weeks the armies ot the two Princes of Prussia have accomplished far more for her en largement ana recognition among the great powers of tEurope, than was achieved by iredcrick the Gieat in his famous and success ful seven years' wur. Within twelve months, bismark, from the reputation of a self-willed. despotic, and foolhardy Prussian Prime Minister, has risen to the high distinction of the ablest diplomat and the foremost man in huroite. Under his bold aud sagacious man agement Prussia has advanced from the posi tion of a second-rate State to that of the com manding power in Central Europe. Strangely enough, too, the Continental equilibrium, i'u view ol the ititure peace of fcmrope (provided always that Napoleou's present professions of peace may be relied upon) with tbis imperial enlargement ot Prussia, is tied upon a much better foundation than that contemplated by Napoleon himsel'. France is aggressive, and requires to be held m check. Prussia, as now about to be constituted, will serve as a barrier atainst the ambitious desiens of Imperial France. There will be little to fear, on the other hand, from the nou aggressive character of the Geimans; but much to uread from any hostile encroachment upon their domains, with their strentrth consolidated under what mav bo culled the Macedonian military system ot Prus sia. The success of Prussia in the humilin ion of Austria is to some extent a triumph of modern ideas and progress over the ideas of the old eiletc feudal system. Europe taken another lame stride forward on the road to popular rights and institution, although another shak ing up or two of the Continent may be required to bring about tiieir 11111 development. Tltc Negro Out of Polltlcw. From the Iribune. The Times thinks the blacks can only be damaged by any further agitation as to their rights, because controversy tends to a wider divergence, and to more vehement resistance to even non-poliueal and proper clairm in their behalf adding: "In a conloBt under such conditions, the noijro is sure to be ilie sutlcror, whicn ever purty may wiu lroni timo to time. Jlio nest ttrngr mat could nappon to the negro raeo, now that they aro pose-sea ot their frcuoin and all their civil rights, would be, bo lar as national politics aro concerned, to cease alto gether boinfr an exciting clement, and, so far as they themselves are concerned, to sedulously give their attention to education, the acquisition of pro l erty, and moial and social improvement. In these ilirociions they will hnd abundant and profitable ground of activity for some time to comu." We ask the public, in view 01 the above suggestion, to consider the following facts: I. In no one of the States lately in Rebellion Lave the blacks been conceded any political rights whutever. Even in those where they foirn a majority of the entire population, no one o! them can ever attain mo rmut or suurage under the existing Constitution, though he should be capable as Webster, learned as Agasiz, rich as Crccsii", aud pious as St. John. No office, however paUry, can bo filled by a black; no uegto or mulatto can servo ou a jury, even in a case whete all tho parties are black; unci uo magnitude ot service to the State or nation can ever enable any one of Atrican de-cent to emerge from his degraded condition. II. The Civil Rights act of Congress 1 sys tematically resisted and defied by the ex-Rebel Stale and locul authorities. Rebel judges in Virginia, Louisiai'ti, etc., have announced from the bench that they repudiate aud nullify it. In no siusle instance has an ex-Coulederate avowed a disposition to respect and obey that law. It is thus rendered practically a dead letter. III. Everyone of the late Rebel States has enacted or revived laws discriminating harshly ngmnt the blackn, subjecting them to penal ties, disabilities, aud restrictions not imposed upon whites. Vagrant and penal legislation has been devised expresdy to subject the blacks to qualified slavery. In defiance of ihe Constitu tion of the United States, they are forbidden to keep the arms which they have earned by serving the Union against its deadly toes, and those arms are wrested from them by State uuthuiitv. By one ot these infernal acts of the South Cartliua Legislature, "Colored children between eighteen and twenty-one years of age, who have neither father nor mother livbig in lite district where then may be found " may be bound out "as ap2reittice8" to what? be a magistrate; aud so outrageous were the oppressions perpe trated under thH act, that General Sickles was obliged to nullif y it by a military order, which of courfe has been quashed by the President's proclamation of peace. iv. xne jimes aavises tne DiacKS 10 "give their attention to education," but conceals the tact that in no single Southern State has any public provision been made to educate black children. The lew Republicans in tho Texas Convention lought desperately tor a provision that whatever taxes should be collected for educational purposes from blacks should be de voted to the instruction of their own children: but the Rebel majority voted this down, with every other provision looking to thj education of blacks. And now Colonel Kiddoo, ot tho Freedmen's bureau, officially reports that schools for blucks, though entirely supported by themselves and their Northern friends, will only be tolerated where there is a United States military force to protect them. In other words, the Rebels break up every black school save at the few points where troops ar stationed. A like condition Is presented in Louisiana. In New Orleans the colored people pay one-fltth of the taxes, whereby trood schools are main tained; but not one 01 their children is allowed a taste of the education thereby provided. The blacks, who pay taxes, are not allowed to send their children to the f chools supported bv their money, wherein whites who never paid a tax are Iree and welcome. Such aro a low of the oppressions and dis abilities buder which Ihe blacks labor through out the South. Is It not the sublimity of impu dence in one who is a practical upholder of these Heaven-dating iniquities to advise them to ignore politics aud attend to the education of heir children f Importance of Congressional Elections. From the World. We trust that the approaching canvass In this State, will be planned and conducted mainly with reference to the election of conservative candidates to Congress. We mean by this that the selection of candidates for Governor and other State officers ought not to bo made with reference to tho bare possibility or probability of tLefr election, but with reference to the inroads they are likely to make on the radical strength In the rural counties. II is quite conceivable that we might elect our Slate ticket, without materially increasing the num ber of conservative members sent by this State to Congress. At present the New York delega tion consists of eleven Democrats and twenty Republicans. It would be a useless and barren triumph lor us to elect a Governor, and, at the same time Increase the conservative rot mbers of Congress to only twelve or four teen. But a moderate gain in all the districts now represented by Republicans would accom plish precisely this bat ren result. An Increase of ihe conservative vote in the districts now represented by Democrats would, it is obvious strengthen the State ticket, without adding to the conservative strength in Comrress. Aud so, a similar increase in all the radical districts, if not sufficient to overcome the radical majori ties in those districts, would, In like manner, contribute to the success of the State ticket, but, at the same time, displace none of the radical Congressmen. It Is evident, therefore, that we might elect our State ticket, and vet fail to accomplish auy beneficial result witti regnrd to the great isue now ponding beiore the country. It is lor Congiess to decide whether the South ern members shall be admitted. It we fail to change the political complexion of that body, the restoration ot the Union will be postponed, and no man can answer lor the future tran quillity 01 the country. It must accordingly be seen that it will make a great difference whether the conservative State ticket is elected by five thousand, or by eeventy-nvc or a hundred thousand majority. If it barely wins, it will be by such a small In crease of the conservative vote, diffused all over tbe State, that the radicals w ill coutinue to have a large majority ot the Congressmen. Tho only difference will be, that the conservative members will be elected by little larger majori ties, and the radical members by majorities somewhat diminished. It would be a ereat and fatal mistake if we were to aliow party pride, or personal aspirations, or an overweening con fidence, or the intractability of men who are capable ot moving only in a deeply-worn rut, to pioruice this disastrous result. If there is foice in what we have now said and we believe men of sound juris mem will con cede that it has great force our State ticket ought to be selected chiefly with reference to its strength in the rural districts. To nominate candidates who are strong merely in the great Wemocrutic strongholds, such as aew York Brooklvn, Albauv, and Bu:l;ilo, might secure their election, without furnishing auy effective aid to the President in hi attempt to restore the Union. But it, on the other hand, our ticket is mane up of men who nro known and popular in 1 tbe interior of the State, it w ill swell the con servative vote just where reinforcements are chiefly needed. It is to no purpose to say that tl is or that candidate Is popular In the great Democratic strongholds, unless he is also uble to diminish the ladical vote in the districts now rtpreFf nt( d m Congiess by the enemies of the President. The great thing is to elect as many couservativcs as possible in those districts. It would be better even to l03e a little elsewhere, it we could thereby insure a majority of the Congressmen. What we gain over the vote of last year is important; but where we gain it is ol tai deeper consequence. The former might elect our State ticket; but it is only a location 01 tbe gaius in the right places that can crivc us a majority of the Congressmen. We can huroly expect a continuance of the patient attitude of the South, if the North fails to elect a conservative majority in the next (Jonui. The Southern people behave with great forbearance, because thpy nsva no Evi dence that the present disunion Congress fairly represents the public sentiment of the North. It was elected while the war still raged, and when the animosities kindled by tho war were blazing with uuabaic.l fervor. It was elected as a war Congress; and aUhouuh peace intervened before its first meeting, it has acted in the same hostilp spirit towards the South in which it was clioeu. The South is kPenly alive to the injus tice of such a course, but th'ey do not charge it upon tbe Northern people. But if the Congress about to be chosen shall be ot tho same nialttr nunt stamp, the South will naturally regaid it as an evidence that it is the deliberate purpose of the Noith to oppress and humiliate them. They will be more than human if thev can then restrain their iesentment. It is, therefore, of vital consequence that the conservative cause hhould succeed in this election, and that its triumph should be so eismal as to convince the Southern people that, in return tor obe dience and lojalty, they are to be ruiiy rein stated in all their Federal rights. If we merely elect State officers without securinL' a conserva tive Coneress, the Northern elections will be productive of even less good than those ot the South. The South will elect couscrvutive State officers; but what will that avail ? And the con seivative members which we send, unless they amount to a majority, will be as powerless in (,'ongiess as the Southern members will be out of it. For once, tor simply this once, everything must bo made to bend to the election ol conservative Congressmen. SHIRTS, FURNISHING GOODS, J. W.
