2 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1867. THE NEW YORK PRESS. Editorial opinions of thk leading journalb upon ctjrrknt topich compii.kd evehy dat fob thb evening tele-graph. The Russian tlumbag;, From the lYibune. Mr. Seward's geographical discoveries con tinue to be telegraphed over the country, and rvery man who Iirs known another man who lias ever been In Russian America is produced to give a description of the country. On paper there is no placo like Russian America. Tho climate is delicious, and quite warm In Winter; yet the ice fields are inexhaustible, and in the burning heat of the Arctic summer the Esquimaux lake refuge in their nhado. Tho country is covered with pine forests, and Vegetable gardens flourish along the coast, trhoreon the walrus are also found in vast multitudes. Wheat, seals, bailey, white bears, turnips, icebergs, whales, and gold jnines are found as far north as the sixtieth degree. All the luxuries and necessities of life are grouped together, so that in a compari son of Mr. Reward's documents we find the Polar bear reclining among roses, barley Xipeuing on icebergs, grass of luxuriant growth over which the Equimaux shuffle with enow-shoes; and Winter everywhere sleeping In the lap of May. It is the isothermal line Which works these wonders. It can be ciphered out, as Mr. Seward shows, that the peculiar Influence of the isothermal line makes the climate of the most extraordinary kind, so that while the Russians and Esqui maux have always shivered the year round in their furs, the American settler in a loose Jinen ooat will be compelled to carry an um brella to protect hini from the sun. Let if ho would be cold, he may be. Ice is always liandy. Would he roam through a grand and solitary waste, where the Polar bear is monarch of all he surveys, he has only to ptep out to his front door. Voilk ! cries the delighted Secretary of State. Would he pre fer a thickly settled country, with farms and f aniens, peaceable Esquimaux, and Arcadian ndians, then he has only to step out of his lack door. All tastes are gratified in Mr. Seward's land, which is not Russian America, "but Utopia. On paper it is a wonderful country; on ice it is what is generally called A big thing. But the rose colors in which Mr. Seward drapes his telegrams will fade long before the unhappy immigrant reaches the Zero Islands. Martin Chuzzlewit bought town lots in the flourishing city of Eden, and found his front door in the middle of a swamp. The poor Bettler who goes to Sitka on which little island the Russians have with difficulty made a settlement to raise wheat, or barley, or outs, will find that bis fields are ice fields, and need to be cultivated with snow-ploughs. We have heard of people going to Russian America, but never heard of anybody staying there, except those who were frozen in the enow; nor is it probable that the enthusiasm f the Secretary of State will result in his Immigration. The country is so delightful, so rich in furs and fish and timber, that the Czar thinks it entirely too good to keep. He is not worthy of it.. It would hardly be credited, were not Mr. G. V. Fox authority for the statement, that the Czar has signified his readiness to give Russian America to the United States, and that his only doubt was of our willingness to accept such a miserable present. " It is value less to Russia," said Prince GortchakolT to Admiral Fox, "and has always been an expense and a trouble." Mr. Seward immediately con ceived the brilliant idea of saving $7,500,000 In gold for what he could have got for nothing. Russia does not care for the money, we sup pose, but is very glad to get rid of the country, whales, wheat, walrus, copper-mines, and all. We may be sure nothing is said in St. Peters burg "about the value of the land; there they will talk about the value of the money. It is this bargain, dressed up in a secret treaty, which the Secretary of State is ashamed or afraid to publish with bis telegrams, that the Benate is asked to confirm and the people to approve. We trust the Senate will not; we know the people will not. Ileconitrnrtlon The Prospect and Pro bable Political Results. From the Herald. The extraordinary revolution that is now going on in the sentiments and conduct of the Southern people, under the operation of the Reconstruction acts, will form one of the most interesting chapters in the history of this or any other country. A people who not long ago were defiant and appeared to be impracti cable, and who more recently were sullen and apathetic, are now putting their shoulders to the wheel in good earnest to help forward the work of reconstruction. The strong common eense of the American people, the facility with which they adapt themselves to circum stances, and their remarkable capacity for eelf-government, are strikingly shown in all this. It is calculated to inspire us with the liope of future harmony and the perpetuation f the republic. Foreign nations were aston ished at the power of the Government and the Btrength of our institutions, as exhibited in the war and its results; but they will be more surprised when they see in a short time tho union and harmony of the country restored. They will see how eminently practical we are, and will admire the elasticity of our character and political institutions. The information which we spread before our leaders recently from our correspondents in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennes see, Louisiana, and Mississippi, covering two pages of the Herald, is full ui interest on the ell-important matter of reconstruction. In fact, it is a mass of more valuable and reliable information than any investigating committee cf Congress could have collected; for it comes lroni a number of intelligent and unprejudiced jneu, spread all over tiie South, and states faithfully what they saw and experienced. And what is the testimony of these correspon dents, one and all t That the people every where are waking up as from a dream to their Teal situation. They see that there is no hope lmt in promptly yielding to the supreme man dates of Congress. However disagreeable the provisions of the Reconstruction acts may Le to some of them, they know they are help- less, und that it would be folly and ruinous to , resist. The ablest and leading men of the South men who are disfranchised and pro scribed by these acts of Congress, such as Wade Hampton, Longstreet, Beauregard, Lee, JIallory, Orr, and others have led off with one voice for submission to the will of Con gress. The press and the people generally are following. Of course many swallow the Ijitter pill prescribed by Congress with wry faces, and reiterate their old dogmas as tena ciously as "Meg Merriliea" forced hr hn1 above water when her enemies were drowning Ler, and shouted "Charley, Charley, Charley;" but this is only spasmodic, and a sort of tem porary agony. The necessities of their situa tion, common sense, time, and reconstruction, will cure all that, even in the remaining in tractable Southerners. Indeed, a few weeks only have done a great deal in curing it, aa our correspondence shows. i ' 1 But the most remarkable feature In the pro gressive work of Reconstruction is the har mony and affiliation between the late slave holders and their emancipated slaves. Ihey assemble together in public meotings on a footing of political equality, and address eaou other as friends and fellow-citizens. Nor is there any false pride, affectation, or hypocrisy in such language and bearing one towards the other. The late masters of the negroes have sense enough to see that the interests of he two races are inseparably interwoven; that restoration and the consequent prosperity of the South will be a leiiefit to both; and that exclusion from political privileges, from re presentation in Congress, would be followed by injury to ixrth. Besides, as a general thing, there is a kindly feeling on the part of the whites for tho weaker and less cultivated blacks. Generally, too, the negroes are con scious of this, and look up with confidence for advice and euidance from their late masters. This is evident from tho addresses of the more Intelligent to the rest. The speeches delivered by some of them lately, and thoir conduct, as described by our correspondents, show this to be the case. We see, also, that there is a determination on the part of both races to cultivate theso kindly, friendly, and confiding relations. Now, this is a state of things deserving par ticular notice, and which was certainly not expected by the old radical Abolitionists of the North. These radicals had erroneously supposed the neprroes hated tho whito master race, and would take the earliest opportunity to turn against them. The teachings of the war, in which the negroes voluntarily fought side by side with their masters, did not eradi cate this error. The radicals have been ex pecting, since the war closed and the slaves were emancipated, that these people would vote and act in opposition to their old masters. They begin to see their mistake, however, and are in a terrible state of anxiety about the consequences. No tide of Northern emigra tion, however great, nor any amount of radi cal speechmaking and preaching, can turn the political current in which the blacks and the whites of the South are united and combined for action. They both see their interests are the same, and irrevocably fixed iu the same section of country. We cannot see fully where this surprising political .and social revolution will end. It will certainly produce an extraordinary influ ence upon political parties and upon the desti nies of the republic. Tho radical press is dumbfounded, and knows not which way to shape its course. The fruit of years of agita tion is likely to turn to ashes in its mouth. The Southern States, with their eighty or ninety Representatives and twenty Senators in Congress, will hold a large balance of power, and the probability is that both races will re main united in the interests of their own sec tion and in support of the same political party. The Southern whites, and particularly the leading men among them, possess a power they may not have yet realized. Such men as Wade Hampton, Henry A. Wiso, and others like them, while they have not the suffrage and cannot hold office, are able to exercise great influence over the negroes and political affairs. There are from fifty to a hundred thousand of these ostracized old leaders, who are still powerful through their intelligence and position and on the stump. We advise them, then, to carry the revolution which the Northern radicals have inaugurated to its end to its utmost limit. In doing this they should advocate sending negroes to Congress. In every State and District intelligent blacks can be found. Let them be beu to Congress in the proportion of the negro vote. Suppos ing the Southern States are entitled to ninety members in the House of Representatives under the increased vote, thirty negroes should bo sent, as that would be about a fair proportion to the numbers of the two races, and out of the twenty Senators six should be black by the same rule. Henry A. Wise has a fine, intelligent, and faithful servant, who should be sent from the Old Dominion to sit by the side of Mr. Sumner in the Senate; and that negro friend of whom Wade Hampton spoke so pathetically a noble fellow, evidently might be seated by Wilson, Chandler, Sprague, or Trumbull, and be called to the chair occasionally by Ben. Wade, the President of the Senate. This is practicable, reasonable, and fair, and would only be carrying out the theories already established. True, the smell of the negroes might be unpleasant to the dainty Northern Senators and members; but the Southerners would not find it so; they could have no objection to black colleagues on that score; for, as Yancey once said, the smell was perfume to Southerners. By all means let the South carry out the theories of the radicals to their logical results by sending both negro Representatives and Senators to Congress. It would create an extraordinary fermentation and reaction in the North, un doubtedly; but what of that f The principle is the thing. Perish everything rather than sacrifice principle. In whatever point of view we look at the movements now going on in the South, and at the position of parties with regard to the issues that have been raised, we foresee that remarkable chances must take place. We advise the Southerners to use the power the radicals have placed in their hands, and bring tho revolution to its logical end. The Demociacy and the South, From the Times. , The World has undertaken a difficult task. It has undertaken to prove that the Demo cratic party discountenanced secession and adhered steadfastly to the cause of tho Union, and yet that that party may confidently rely upon the support of tho South when it shall have been reinvested with political power. In other words, the World essays to prove that the Democracy may calculate upon Southern support because of its antecedents, and at the same time may claim Northern votes becauso of its loyalty 1 What our contemporary designates "incon trovertible proof's" are adduced in support of the latter and tho more extraordinary of these propositions. Hut what are the proofs ? One is, the allegation that in the campaign of 1SC0 the candidate of the Northern Democracy was Mr. Douglas, who threatened to hang seces sionists "higher than Ilaman." The other is, that the Northern leader of the Breckinridce Democrats was the then President, Buchanan, whom the II odd represents as the active op ponent ot the secession conspiracy. Neither of these points seems to us "incontrover tible." It is undoubtedly true that in the election of 181.0 the majonty of Northern Democrats voted for Douglas, but it is not true that Douglas was the candidate of the most capa ble leaders of the Northern Democracy or that they shared his views on the subject of secession. The party lost its unity at the Charleston Convention, and while the rank and file of the Northern States rallied around their popular leader, the intellect and official influence of the party, were found on the side of lireckinridgo. Ho was it aUo with the Detuooratio Journals. The greater number hoisted the Dougla flag; the abler aftd more powerful those which to this hour are looked to as party oracles ranged under the banner of his Demooratio antagonist. Tho distinction waft maintainwi throughout-the war. The Douglas men bocamo good War Democrats, and rendered most valuable service to the Union. The Breckinridge wing, almost to a man, became Copperhead; and this wing it is which, by reason of superior ability or energy or impudence, has managed to retain control of tho party organization. Jt dictated the war-a-failuro resolutions at Chicago; aud it has dictated the demand for the immediate and unconditional restoration of the South, to which the party in the North is everywhere pledged. Hence its succession of defeats in the Northern and Western States. And though if has gained an exceptional victory in Connecticut, the circumstance is attri butable to tho fact that, though tho Copper heads manipulated the convention aud tho platform, they fought the battle with com paratively unobjectionable candidates. The case of the World is not improved by its reference to President Buchanan. That in January, 1S61, he called to hi3 councils loyal men as the successors of the Rebel Secretaries who had resigned, is indisputable; but, this does not relieve him from the responsibility of hiB course down to that period. Ho had con veyed to Congress his conviction that, under the Constitution, the right to coerce a State as against secession did not exist, and tho policy of the Northern Democratic leaders, then and afterwards, rested upon this hypothesis. Only on this ground could he vindicate his reten tion of Cobb and Thompson, after thoir active participation iu the secession conspiracy had become notorious. And the same plea served hi3 friends at the North. Even they who op Dosed the Southern movement qualified their condemnation with the denial of the right f the Government to put down secession by the use of force. To this extent it is certain that the leaders of the Northern Democracy en couraged the Rebellion. 1 hey did not recom mend it ;t s; for they saw that it would tem porarily extincuish tho chance of regaining supremacy for the party; but they gave moral help to tlie then incipient lieoeuion by promis ing in behalf of their party that the Govern ment should not be allowed to march its armies into the South. It is well understood that these assurances emboldened the prime movers in the Rebellion quite as much as the promise of immediate recognition which the British Minister, Lord Lyons, is known to have given. Both proved false in the hour of trial The British Government subsided into a treacherous "neutrality." And the leaders of the Northern Democracy, quailing before a 6torm they had not dreamed of, left the South to do its own hard fighting, and confined them selves to the guerilla practice of Copper-headii-.ni. It is of this cowardly desertion, we presume, that Governor Orr speaks when he declares that there are "accounts to settle" before the South can again affiliate with the Democracy. It is to this retreat of the Democratic leaders that the Charlottesville (Va.) Chronicle refers when it declines to follow into "the bog of Democracy." Nor are these exceptional alle gations, as the Wo, Id would have us believe. They are a reiteration of statements which, in the course of the last few months, we have quoted from influential Southern journals. In truth, with few exceptions, the entire press of the South has proclaimed its determination to have nothing more to do with the old political parties, with both of which it has strong grounds of quarrel. It intends to obey the law, to retrieve its shattered fortunes, to get back into the Union as quickly as possible, and to keep clear of entangling party alliances that of the Democracy not excepted. The hope has been cherished, no doubt, that the Connecticut victories would reanimate the Democratic sympathies of the South. To the disappointment experienced on this head we attribute the extreme sensitiveness of our con temporary. For the South wisely refuses to be deceived on the subject. "One little Demo cratic victory in a little State no more makes Democratic ascendancy than one swallow makes a summer," is the saying of a Rich mond newspaper; therefore, it goes on to remark, "we must be careful not to be in duced to take any steps backward by reason of the Democratic success in Connecticut." We need not multiply citations. The sentence we have quoted correctly expresses the pre vailing tone of Southern opinion as revealed by its newspapers. Another point of equal significance is not less clear. It is, that even Southern Demo crats will not rejoin the Democracy whose gos pel is expounded by Monday's World. If they ever return to the Democratic organiza tion it will be as the masters the guides and rulers of the party. They spurn tho Douglas Democrats as bastards, not lawful sons of the faith; and they will ally themselves only to the Copperheads. Of this we are enabled to produce "incontrovertible proofs" from the editorial columns of the Charleston Mercury, one of the ablest organs of Southern sentiment before the war, and one of the few that now exult in the Connecticut result. Says the luercury: "Beyond oil doubt or question, the principles of the Demociuuo party n lulJ down byTlio Jnas Jtllerson, and elucidated by Jnines Ma li son In his report on the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions are the principles of the Uunstltu Hen, on which the youth has relied, from the commencement of the Government of the United Hlates, for protection and liberty. It vuti the exponent of Southern Btntesuvinship it nd of Southern rule. The (South innde the Di-inocrnMo party: aud eo long us their counsel und control ruled Us policy it was the most uselolund glorlouH puny the sun ever shouo upon. It lilted the United States to ii state of strength and power, und Rave them a name for free and Just government unparalleled uttioiii! the nulions ol the world. 15ut In tho course of time corrupt and unprincipled atatosineu. chiefly from the North, got possession of its organization. Its principles gave way to ex pediencies. Compromise alter compromise brought it at leuuth, at the opeuluu of me war. to little less thou a mere party organiz ttioii without principle, to obtain plnc und power. Its lust latal delinquency was its relunal, ut the Cl.urlehton Convention, to eive a pledtco to hup poll the decision of the Supreme Court ol" the United Stales In the Died Scott case. This broke up the purtv, produced the election of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency, and brought on the wur. Its weak und vacillating course during tho war wus the naturul result of its shuiieied principles." We array the Charleston g.lwiin as an authority against the World. We meet the World's pretense that tho Demooratio party was an anti-secession organization, with the Mercury's declaration that the party was essentially tho party of the South, the sup porter of Southern purposes and principles, and the product of Southern power. The Douglas movement, which the World ap plauds, is denounced by the Mi-rcury as the offspring of party demoralization, and the evidence of its want of principle and strength. The World insists that the South is once more on the side of Democracy. The AVr cury contends, on the contrary, that the true course of the South is "to have no identifica tion with any party at the North," but to await developments, aud ac t accordingly. 1 Tin War-Clouil lu Kuroite. Votn the World. . If it be lawful so to compare great .things With small, it may be truly said that the Kim, peror Napoleon, with hip great Exposition, is' at Hits moment V ory muph in the position of a fashionable lady who ii determined to carry' out a picnio party in 'spite of the ugly cloud banks rolling up along the horizon. Tho tem pest which began to gather In the European skies on the morrow of the thunders of Sadowa, has been growing blacker with every week which has passed since tho peace of Nikola burg; and, if we are to attach credit to the muttered omens of the London and Continental stock markets which reached us on Monday over the wires of tho Atlantic cable, it is already become seriously doubtful whethor tho "win dows of Heaven" will not be opened before the doors of the Paris Exhibition close, and the showers come down in blood and firo beforo the guests can fairly 'get homo again from their holiday. The form taken by tho portents of ill which on Monday shook Wall street in almost simultaneous sympathy with tho Royal Exchange and with the Bourses of Paris and Frankfort, is a clearly and peri lously practical one. It is no longer seriously questioned, we believe, that, before the outbreak of hostilities between Prussia and Atihtria, Count Bismark endeavored to secure the acquiescence of Napoleon in his projected extension of the Prussian sway, by offering to France such a "rectification" of the French frontiers towards the Rhine as would have saved French supremacy in " the West of Europe from being fatally overshadowed by tho Prussian power. The propositions of the Premier of King William were re jected by the Emperor of the French on grounds which it will hereafter, perhaps, interest the historian to examine and to pronounce upon, but which need not at all concern us in any examination of the actual condition and the immediate prospects of Europe. Whether Napoleon disbelieved in the destiny of the daring Prussian, and so refrained from needlessly compromising tho relations of France with Austria by a bar gain which he felt convinced the party of the other part would never be in a position to consummate, or whether he really shrank from a frank revival of the good old plan by which princes were wont to partition "peo ples" according to the dictates of thoir own convenience and their own policy, matters but little just now. Tho result has been that Prussia, in a campaign of unparellelod brevity and brilliancy, made herself the head of Germany ; that Germany, compelled to acknowledge the leadership, has ever since been wavering towards a recognition of the sovereignty of Prussia; and that Napoleon, in stead of seeing France enthroned as the arbiter of Central and Southern Europe, is now con fronted by the imminent crystallization, from the Alps to the Baltic, and from the Vistula to the Rhine, of a power such a3 no Emperor of Germany iince Frederic II., the "wonder ot the world," has ever wielded. Great as this power of Prussianized Germany threat ens to be, it is yet not impossible for France to array against it a power greater still. To do this it will be necessary, however, for the ruler of France to waive his loudly professed respect for the "principle of nationality," and to agglomerate, in one way or another, with the homogeneous and consolidated forty millions of the French monarchy, the populations of Switzerland, Holland, and Belgium. An imperial France, resting on the Italian Alps on the one side and upon the Northern Sea upon the other, would hold the West of Europe by as indefea sible a tenure as now gives over the East of Europe to the predominance of Russia; and it must be admitted that the policy of Count Bismark, if it tends directly to tho formation of a really united Germany, tends also just as strongly, though indirectly, to provoke the consolidation, on either flank of the German Empire, of those two colossal dominions. Italy, which owes to the Prussian arms as well as to the French diplomacy her recent complete emancipation from the Austrian sway, must look, of course, with Bouie anxiety to the approaches of so formidable a neighbor as France from the side of the Simplon and Mont Cenis. But Italy has traditional as woll as geographical and strategic reasons for re garding with even greater distrust the forma tion of a new German empire embracing Bava ria and Wurtemburg practically under one sceptre with Posen and Hanover. Italian statesmen and the Italian people have not yet forgotten that it was the democratic United Germany of 1848 which proclaimed Lom bardy and Venice to be natural appendages of the Teuton power; and a homogeneous Ger many controlled from Berlin would probably be regarded in Italy as a more disagreeable neighbor even than a heterogeneous Austria controlled from Vienna. In a shock of war for the supremacy over Western Europe, France, even if she raised the banner of the boundaries of the first empire north of the Alps, would be pretty clearly sure of the sympathy, if not of the aid, of the Italian Government. The Hapsburgs, if only out of their abundant faith in the blind female deity who has so often befriended their house, would also throw all their weight against the Prusso-German Em pire, and trust to the dice for their profits in case of its overthrow. Switzerland, Holland, and Belgium, though they would cling tena ciously to their national independence until the alternative was positively forced upon them, have more and closer sympathies, on the whole, with the populations of France than with those beyond the Rhine; and, objection able as the practical administration of the existing government in France in many respects still is, there is nothing in the regime established by Count Bismaik to reconcile either Switzers or Dutchmen or Belgians to the prospect of seeing themselves reduced to the condition of Prussian provinces rather than of French departments. In this state of European affairs, and in the presence of the eventualities thus hastily, thouh not, wo think, inaccurately sketched, it will be seen at once that a proposition for tho transfer of Dutch Luxembourg to France may very justly be regarded as the possible commencement of a drama the unfolding of which will shake the Old World to its centre. That Prussia would oppose such a proposition may be taken for certain. But the advances made by Bismark to Napoleon before the out break of the war of lsiiii prove that Prussia herself has recognized the necessity which her present aggrandizement imposes upon France, of fortifying her eastern front; and a serious l'jusiah opposition to the cession of Luxem bourg can, therefore, only be interpreted as a direct menace to the supremacy of France in Western Europe. Such a menace the French people are assuredly ill disposed to brook, whatever the temper of their sovereign may be- and it is idle to deny, therefore, that there are deep and real reasons for the feelings of anxiety and alarm which are daily gathering strength on theothejside of the Atlantic.
