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.
