From the Ileraid.
Before the secessionists of tho South raised
the standard of revolt against the Government
of the United States and forced the 8outbern
people Uto rebellion, there were two parties in
tiio country, wide apart in principle, but united
on the niao. object sought to be accomplished
bj cach-naruely, the destruction of the Consti
tution and the disruption of the Union. These
parties were the radical abolition fanatics of the
Nortju and the radical slavery-oxtension flre
ctorB oitne'8outu. -At that time the seeds of
rebellion were sown In the; free; States b.v Wen
dell Phillips, who denounced the Constitution
of the United States as a league with hell and a
cotetiant witlTthe deVll, and bylbe Jacobins. of
Uie"2n7une,8chooi, who wrote poetry inciting
ptopleto4'teard6wu the dauMingln;"-inean-ing
theAmeiicaa flag-and prose vindicating
tlio tarred right of secession. In the slave
states the coi responding work was done by the
Yaicevs, Lauiars, and Runts, and by such
parens as tbe Glial teuton Mercury and Rich
mond Enquirer.
1 hese oauie two parties exist to-day; and as
bf.ore the war they woiked tor the same end,
tlie destruction ot tae Union, so now the war is
ended, tbey labor for a commoi objeot to ob
struct the restoration of the Union. One of
tliise parties is represented at the North to-day
by butler, Chandler, Stevens, and Phillips, with
Bm b mon as Hamilton aDd Brownlow as their
allies In the South; and the other, at the South,
by Wade Hampton, Humphreys, Monroe, and
Dawson, wiih Fernando Wood, Vallandigtiam,
Uoiliuan, Hejmour, Clymer, and the Copper
head, organs generally, as their allies la the
North.
Uoth these parties are engaged in making
virioat appeals to the passions und prejudices
ol tlie people ol eitder section of tho Union and
In preaching up anotnor rebellion. The North
ern wing oi toe Jacobin army is threatening
tbe Impeachment of the President, the seizure
th Government by Congress, and the destruc
tion ot General Grant and the regulai army,
The Southern and Copperhead wing to talking
about foroing the members from the ex-Rebel
States inio Congress at the point of the bayo
net. Bo tar as any real danger isjeoncerned,
these threats and boastings are mere balderdj.-b,
and amount to nothing.
The people have settled that question very de '
clsively ia the recent elections by declaring in
lavor of tbe Congressional solution of the pro
blom of restoration, as embodied in the Consti
tutional amendment, and by confirming that
policy as a tixed tact dnnng tne entire balance
ot President Johnson's Administration. For the
Impeachment of the President the Northern
Jaoobins could not get thirty votes in the Houe
ol (Representatives; while the original seces
sionists ol tbe South and their Copperhead allies
of the North would find It ditlicult to persuade
tuoii a cunning political fox as President John
son to put his head into any trap they could bait
for him.
TLeie may be some little risk that the Ben
Butler Jacobins on one side, and the Monroes
and Forrests and Dawsous on the other, may
indie unthinking people here and there to vio
late the law and create rioU, as they did
at New Orleans arid Memphis; but such out-'
breaks can only end in unnecessary bloodshed
and tbe slaughter of a few infatuated victims,
and they are easily subdued. Something of
this mnd may .prion; from the advice ot the
Ne-rthen -radicals to the Baltimore Police Com
mlioners to resist a plain law and rebel against
tho constitutional authority of the Governor of
the State of Maryland. If so, It will be speedily
chicked and the guilty parties brought to
punishment. But so far as any serious trouble
to the country may appear to be threatened by
the. violence of the radioala on either side, the
public mind may rest at ease, and leel satisfied
that it is all balderdash, and that the nation
was never more secure against any rebellion
than it is at tne present moment.
A- political revolution must, however, take
place shortly that will mark tbe lines of parties
lor the next quarter of a century In this coun
try. In the Southern States there will spring
up two distinct tactions, the one opposing the
Constitutional amendment and tbe other favor
ing that settlement of the question of restora
tion. ThaJormer will embrace all the old fire
eaiers and worn-out political hacks who are set
' aside by the Constitutional amendment, and
wl o desire still to figure on the public stage
and leed at the public crib. The latter will
comprise the new generation the young men
ot the South who went into the war through
reckless gallantry, and the quiet, respectable
citizens who desire to see peace and prosperity
restored to their States. These pnrties will
conteud lor political mastery at the South
among themselves, and it is easy to pre
dict which side will win. In the North' ru
States the lines will be drawn between the
radical Jacobins anil the Republicans. Tbe
lornier, probably at the next session, or cer
tainly in the next Congress, led by Butler,
Phillips, and Stevens, will proclaim their pro
gramme of abolishing the Constitution, placing
the executive as well as legislative power m the
bauds ot Congress, and seizing upon the Govern
ments of all the Southern States, and holding
them as subdued provinces. The Republicans
will draw otf in a distinct conpervative party
aeainstthe Jacobin radicals, and the late Demo
crats, totally demolished and wiped out as an
organization in the elections of this year, will
select their places in one or otber of these new
divisions. Eventually the Southern Constitu
tional amendment party will combine with the
Republican party, and form the great national
organization that will elect the next President,
and tule the nation tor the next quarter of a
century.
The breaking tin and reformation of political
Organizations will be more complete and distinct
than anvthini? of the kind that has occurred in
this country since the formation of the old Re
publican and Federal parties. It will be greater
and more sweeping than that, as the nation is
more powerful and tbe issues more vital than
the v were in those early days of the republic

The Richmond Enquirer remonstrates, with
dignity and force, against the course of the
Times in recommending the adoption of the
Constitutional amendment by tbe Southern
Blates. naving regarded the Timet and lis
editor as friendly to Ihe South, it finds their
recent action "inexplicable, on the principles
which determine the obligations ol fidelity
. among men." And in a very natural tone of
disappointment, not unmlngled with soma
equally natural resentment U protests against
tbe atiegea lujuewtc iuu uusuuiy oi our
course. Possibly we may oe aoit to remove
some of the Enquirer's misconceptions upon this

powerless to resist lu It sharpens and Inten
sifies every blow they have already rcoeivoJ,
and tnftnes the poison of rancor and hatred

where confidence Is the one thing require!,
aud educates -the rising generation In the
memory and resentment of hostilities which it is

of their material resources, arrests their indus

beads an Indisposition, to pay the taxes and
bear the burdens of the General Government. It
nurses the seeds of division between the two
sections, plants new thorns of . discontent,
strengthens the hands of those who would make
two nations In icellng, in interest. In ambition,
and in tact, where the people would have but
one, and In every way contributes powerfully
and dangerously to the ruin and degradation of
the South, while it inspires and streinthens the
temper of tyranny and arrocrant domination,
which is no leas dangerous to liberty and to tbe
perpetuity ol' our republican Institutions, in the
Northern States. Such a state of things, so full
ot evil and of peril, should be ended at the ear
liest momcn,t possible. .' - '
I II. We are anxious above all thine to end it
It Eeems to us not nearly so important, either
to tho North or the Houth, or to the nation at
laree, how it Jhall be ended, as that It shall be
ended soon.. Long delay Involves more peril
than almost any method of adjustment. We
believed, and still believe, that it ought to have
been ended at the outset that the restoration
of tbe Union should have been the immediate
result ot the overthrow of tbe Rebellion
against it. Coneress , Inst December should
have tHken up the work Just where tha Presi
dent's action had left it, and should have
cat ned It lor ward, promptly and with vigor, to
lull completion. , That course would have
given us peace, order, coutent, tho resumption-
of enterprise, a prompt' reorganiza
tion of industry, all needed legislative reforms,
and a political reorganization bused on the
ideas established by the war, aud in full and
permanent, co-operation with the , princi
ples and measures of the National Union
party. We labored earnestly for that result.
We continued our efforts throughout the session,
against steadily increasing obstacles and dis
couragements;' and after the session closed we
still struggled, in the Philadelphia Convention
and in these columns, for the restoration of the
Union by the a lnil9iou into Congress of loyal
men, from loyal States, 1'onnd to have been
elected, retuified, and qualified according to
law lor seats therein. Certainly, in all this
there was no lack of "fidelity" not to the South,
lor wo were not seeklug the weli'aro of any scj-tlon--bnt
to the country, and to the principle
which we deemed essential to its welfare - the
early and lull restoration of the Union.
III. The late elections put an oud to any hope
of efleetinff this restoration in the way proposed.
Right or wrong, wUe or unwise, thut decision
had been rcac'ied. It wab and is absolutely
certain that the Southern Stales cannot be ad
mitted at the time and in the wav proposed.
Tbe Congress which will control that question
has been elected, and will hold power until
March 4, 169, when the ouicial terut of Presi
dent Johnson wi'l expire. He Is powerless In
the premises, first, because he has no control
whatever over the admission of members into
Coneress, and secondly, because h there is a
majority lu both branches suiiicient to override
and annul his veto power, -As matters stand
now, therefore, it is ceitain that the South can
not be restored to its constitutional relations in
the Union by any direct exercise of political
power, and against the will of tbe Union ma
jority, until alter a new President shall have
been elected, and still auother Coneress chosen.
This is a bxed lact, and neither the South nor
tbe North, neither the President nor his lrieuds,
nor anybody else, can change It.
IV. Now, under these circumstanced, what
cau best be done? What course of action does
a wise regard tor their own interests prescribe
to the Southern States? On tbe one baud they
are advised to persist in demanding their rights
in denouncing the Union party which Jias
complete control of Conuress, and in waging, in
alliance with the Democratic minority, a bitter
and relentless war upon It. The President is
urged to the same course, as if it were in thu In
terest of the Southern States. Wade Hampton
and Governor Humphreys counsel the boldest
and most high-toned defiance to their "oppres
sors." The Democratic party, as a matter of
course, give the same advice, aa it is only In
this direction that they foresee any possibility
oi tncir own return to power, flow, wnat pos
sible good can result from such a policy ?
Will the Richmond Enqtiirer inform us how
the South can possibly better its condition by
such action f II it has studied the recent drift
ol public sentiment in the North to any pur
pote,.it must know tnat it is extremely sensi
tive to the positive and peremptory demand of
political power In the National Government, as
a matter ot rieht, on the part ot those states
and communities that waged a bloody war of
four years for tbe destruction of that Govern
ment, and that desisted only when, and only
because, tney were .physically unable to wage
il any lonerer. Nothing tends more certainly
to consolidate the Republican party, and to
strengthen its most ultra element, than such
deuiauds so urged. The Enquirer may
easily see how,: under their Influence,
the temper of the North has been steadily
rising oay by day since tbe war was closed. Nor
is tnis at an nnnaturai or inexplicable no wever
unwise It may be in point of policy. The people
of tbe North have been compelled to sacrifice
hundreds of thousands ot .lives and millions
upon millions ot money to rescue the Govern
ment from destruction; they are very naturally
reluctant to see It puss at once into the hands of
tbe people who sought its overthrow; and when
thote very States seek to snatch it from their
grasp to seize it us a matter ol right, and take
possession of it as if it had always been their
cherished possession they inevitably arouse a
sharp and bot resistance, ibis may not be
statesmanlike nor wite, but it is natural and
Inevitable .
The South, therefore, it seems to us, has
nothiug to gain and much to lose by persisting
in waging war upon the victorious North lor
renaralton as a matter of absolute right. It
cannot possibly succeed, because the Congress
which controls the matter ror inree years to
come is beyond its reach. It cannot overthrow
it it cannot reverse tne peoples veruict
it cannot annul the laws ot Congress it
cannot secure for itself any voice In tbe election
ot President in 1868. Open hostility on Iti part,
or on its behalf, only strengthens Its opponents,
ana connrms tueir power, iney may persist in
it, and may couut as their mends only tuose
who urge them on. . With some men such per
sistence passes tor principle, and U deemed the
only coiiblbtent course. Ho long as no good can
possibly result from it so long as it seems cer
tain only to multiply and Increase ths eviU and
dunRers by which the Southern cause is already
encompassed 1t seems to us timple obstinacy,
neither demanded by any principle nor credita
ble to the judgment and good sense of those who
adopt it as the guide of their political action.
V. When the attempt at restoration by a
prompt and unconditional admission of tho
loyal South Into Congress has clearly and finally
failed, it has seemed to us most consistent with
"fidelity" to the South, and with , the best in
terests of the whole country, to seek restoration
in some other way. It Is eminently a practical
matter, and should be dealt with in a practical
way. We have advised the accptai.ee of the
Constitutional amendment, as tbe best way of
accomplishing the work of restoration, now that
the other way has been finally closed. We be
lieve we are thus doing the South the very best
service in our power. We are not, it is true,
ministering to their resentments, nor inflaming
their passions, nor flattering their pride; but we
are advisinn what seems to us most likely to re
cover for them their lost political position, and to
promote their peace and permanent prosperity.

upon that basis that We have advised the atept.
ance of the Constitutional amendment. We
believe It to lie the only way now open lor their
restoration to tho Union end to their exercise
ol political power In tho Government. By its
prompt adoption wo believe they cau secure
rcpre'cntation in Conaress durin the coming
winter, with a voice and vote upon the various
messujes of speclsl concern to themsplves, and
also a voiee tn the election of President tn
18(i8. By rejecting it, as they seem inclined
now to clo, we belie v they will prolonir their
pxclurlon I Oth from Congress and the Electoral
College until alter Tre-ldent Johnson's suc
cessor nhall have taken his scat, and possibly a
good deal longer.
This Is what we have done, and fhee are
onr reasons lor doing It. , We do Dot know
whether tbey will commend themselves to tho
Ett(Tuirer, respect or not; but we see in them
nothing inconsistent with our own. "
, The hnqu rer Insists that "the Southern people
cannot . adopt the Constitutional amendment
without personal dishonor aud Infamy." If we
believed that to be bo, wo should uot ask its
adoption. But we do not. We regard this as an
exacgerated and nnrenlviewol the case. The
amendment involves a los of representative
power, and a temporary exclusion trom ottice of
ceitain classes of their people. They are not
asked to decree either of these as of thoir own
motion, but to accept and assent to them as
modifications of an existing state ol things. At
present they have no representation, and none
Of the unpardoned among their people can hol t
bflice. These nro the results the unfortunate
but naturul and necessary results of their war
upon the Government. That war was their vol
untary act.' They took all its risks ot failure as
01 success, and among them was this of disfran
chisement. They can have back their political
power, somewhat curtailed and modified.. We
see In tbrir assent to, this nothing of "InlBmy"
or of ."dishonor." It is simply accepting one
of the rcsnlts ot an unsuccessful Rebellion, as
a means of averting others still more severe
and dunstrous.'
But the hnnvlrer says they have no security
that they will be restored, even It they do adopt
uv niiit-uuiiit-ni,
"Where Is any guarantee of tbe considera
tion? Where is any promise of it ? Where U
any reason to ejjwf It Where is any plausible
room to hope for it?
"Tbe New York Time recently contained a de
monstration that there was no pledge in exist
ence that the adoption of tbe amendment would
readmit tbe South and end tb present anarch j ;
that there was no respectable commitment to
tbateil'ect: that the House of Repiesentatives
hsd, on the contrary, expressly rejected a de
claration ot that purport; that the prominent
Republican leaders have protested against being
held to any such idea And this view of the
TmtPi is sustained by abundant other prools.
"If Mr. Raymond really thinks th Southern
Slates ought to ndopt tbe amendment as the con
dition ol reconstiuction, he ought first to secure
such an offer to us. To call on us, day after day,
to accept what has never been oflered, nav, what
he himeell snys has been refused, is nothiug less
thau absuio."
There is truth and force in all this. There Is
certainly no pledge on the part of Coneress to
auniic touinei'u members
; upon their ratification
bill embodying such a
ot tho amendment-, 'fbe
pledge was relected; but it should
bo borue in
mind that it was not rejected solely by the
votes of those opposed to admission. The ex
treme radicals voted against it, because they
would not and will not admit the South except
on the basis of negro suU'rae. But the Demo
crats and many others also voted against it,
because they did not believe Congress had any
right to impose conditions at all. Tho decision
against udmisi-ion, therefore, upon the adoption
ot the amendment was not final or conclusive..
On the contrary, Tennessee was instantly ad
mitted upon its adoption, and there were not
tictnty votes in tbe House ngaiust it.
. If the South shonld now adopt the amendment,
we believe its admissiou to Congress would fol
low at once and as a matter of course. "The dis
cussions before the people' have strengthened
this conviction. None but the most extreme
radicals have ventured to take ground acainst
admission. The general understanding of the
w hole country the wh le current of public
sentiment, the universal expectation in Con
gress and out, is in that direction; and the
prompt action of the Southern States would so
strengthen (his lccling that nothing could re
sist it. And it would h aye. this ellect all the
more if that action should be taken in the ab
sence of anv specific pledge, and in reliance
upon the justice and good faith of the dominant
party in Conefcss and in tbe country. And if,
alter all, this leliance should fail if the violence
of t he indie ils should overbear this sentiment
and still exclude the South from representation
in the Government, nothing practical would be
lost, and an issue would then be formed upon
which their overthrow would be certain.
Tho i-'outh has tbe decision ot this matter in
its own' hands. Its action influences public
sen' intent in the North far more than anything
its friends here can do or sav. If It is required
to make sacrifices and do acts which otl'eud its
pride and" sense of right, it is but just to re
member that its own action has given the North
the power to impose them. Its grand mlstane,
the source of all its evils fona et origu maiorum
was its rebellion against the Government. It
cannot expect to see all its rills dried up in a
single day. .
New York New Jersey.
From the Tribune.
Between New England on the northeast and
Pennsylvania on the southwest lie the States of
New York and New Jersey, with a population of
some five millions, and sending thirty-six Rcpre
i seutatives to the more popular branch of Con
gress. These aie all to be chosen on Tuesday,
November 6; and a United States Senalor for six
years from New York, and probably another for
lour years from New Jersey, are to be elected by
the Legislatures simultaneously chosen. Tbe
elcctiou in these States is necessarily regarded
with lively Interest by the whole Amciican
people.
In 1864 New York was carried for Lincoln,
Feuton, and the Republican tickets generally,
by majorities averaging 7500 majorities which
were quadrupled in the aggregate returns In
1805. Whether there are plausible grounds lor
believing, or leanng, or hoping, that this ma
jority ot thirty thousand votes lor the Republi
can Union ticket can be overcome at the next
unnual election, euch will judge for himself; but
every dispassionate observer must regard such
a result as but a tuint possibility. JohusonUtn
Fcnianism devotion or repugnance to the
Excise act of our last Legislature approval or
condemnation , of one or more of Governor
Fenton's vetoes these are all the make-weights
that may be suppot-ed to influence tbe result.
Who believes thut, by means of these or in de
fiance of tnem, the thirty thousand majority of
last year is now to be subverted and overborne T
What is there in the course ot events, tho re
euits of recent elections, or oilier nianlf'eslutioiis
ot public sentiment, that indicates and predicts
such a change?.
New Jersey was the only free State that gave
a popular majority in l8t0 for elector opposed
to Mr. Lincoln. Alone among the free States of
lb60, she gave a insjority lor General McClellan
in 1864. That majority was overborne, and a
Republican Governor and Legislature elected in
1805, after a most spirited and energetle can
vass, the Republicans carrying three ot the tive
Congressional districts, and losing a fourth by
barely fifty votes. This result was mainly due to
the return of New Jersey's honorably discharged
soldiers Irom serving their country in the War
for the Union. Her Democratic Legislatures of
1803-4 denied them the prlvilego ot voting In the
held, while those lit lor duty could not be
spared to come home. Hence the State went
against Llucoln by over 40U0 majority, jet was
nevertheless carried by Governor Ward In 18C5
by some 1700 majority.
New Jersey Is to-day one of the surest and
firmest Republican State! In the Union, though
several are far ahead of her In tho magultude
of their majorities. She will very surel v elect
three, probably lour, possibly five Republicans
-as her Representatives in the next Houuu. She
will in due time fill the place of Mr. Wright in
the U. 8. Scuate with a Republican. She will
poll on the 6th proximo a Isrper Republloaa
vote and majority than she did last year. In
short, ho has taken her place amonat the tho
roi Lbly free States, and ehe wili keen it.

JFYom the Wortd. .
Tbe labyrinth of absurdity In which the radi
cal doctrine wanders is , well illu,trated by the
manner In whtch they make ' political guilt
attach to local residence and not to personal
conduct. ' In ' the city or Baltimore, seven
eighths (this Is tbe proportion stated by the
committee which waited upon Governor 8wano)
of the citizens arc disfranchised la consequence
of alleged sympathy with the late Rebellion. But
if any of these disfranchised citizens remove to
othtr States, they are Immediately absolved
ff'.iu all po'tUval flams and recover ail the
rights of citizenship. Suppose that, one year
ago, ten of the disfranchised citizens of Balti
more and ten citizens of Vermont bid taken up
their residence In this State, they would be, all
alike, entitled to vote In our elections, in ac
cordance with our laws. It la, of course, a
glaring absurdity that Man landers who, after a
year's residence, vote in Ne York, cannot, by
any length of residence, reacqvire their right to
vote in the State of their birth. .
The same absurdity inheres in all the radical
attempts at disiranchlserocDt. If a thousand
hardy New York soldiers, having served in the
South and become acquuintcd with the open
ings it aOords tor masiue money, should emi
grate thither and purchase cotton lauds at a
cheap rate from ruined planters, they would
bo punished by the radical Congress as politi
cal outcasts, aud denied representation in tbe
Government for which they perilled their lives.
Aud if. on the other hand, tbe planters who
spent their property in supporting the Rebellion'
should come to New xork, tbey .would acquire,
by the mere fact of removal, the same rights of
representation in Congress as are possessed by
j citizens boi
bably in thi
born in the Stale. Tbre are pro-
s city at least five thousand South
erners who would be denied representation
at home, and yet shore it as fu'ly here as if
they had come from Massachusetts.
Every Southern refugee who has been in this
State a year, and has resided lour months in
the county, has, by our laws, Just the same riiht
to vote In the coining election as our own citi
zens. Like the rest ot us, he must be registered;
but tbi lormality complied with, he has an
equal voice .with every other citi.en In deter
mining who shall be Governor, who shall be
elected to Congress in the district where he
votes, and w ho shall till all other oflict-s lor
which incumbents are chosen at this election.
It is a most extraordinary spcoies ot political
guilt which may be thus edaced or incurred by
simply removing from one Sta e (o auother. It
is (be soil, not the man, that is accursed. A
mam's pullticul guilt or innocence does not de
pend upon w hat he has done, but upon where
be resides.
The t onstituliou was once supposed toorler
these things differently. It was suDposed that
tbe Federal Government acted diroctltly on
individual citizen-', and that its relations to
them, whether for protection or punishment,
were precisely the same whether they resided
in one State or another. What can be more fan
