from the Tribune,
With those citizens of the Southern btatea
who are accustomed to call themselves "Con
lervatireB," we neither feel nor profeHS any
political sympathy. It is not probable that
they and we shall meet otherwise than as an
tagonists. . And yet, there are many of them
who say and earnestly believe that they are
doing their best to bring their respective
States into practical relations of harmony with
the Union ; and to these we would gladly bo
useful, even by giving them unpalatable coun
sel. Having recently, at some cost, aided to
save our own party from committing a grave
blunder, that would, if consummated, have
clouded the prospect of an early and hearty
restoration of national concord and fraternity,
we are quite willing to do a like service to the
opposite party, and take our pay in the same
coin. So we will at least make the attempt.
It is a common complaint among you, South
ern Conservatives I that the negroes are being
banded against yon in secret leagues and
lodges f iat they are managed by low adven
turers and interloping demagogues, who de
lude them with promises of couliscation, etc.
that they are under virtual duress, and not at
liberty to act as their judgment aud better
feelings dictate, etc., etc., etc. These com
plaints reach us through various channels,
and are no doubt well founded to this extent
that you are not likely to secure many black
votes at the approaching elections.
How, why will you not see that this is main
ly your own fault that you are allowing
yourselves to be controlled by passion and
prejudice rather than reason and good sense
that you are cursing others for a result of
your own inexcusable folly 1 Why will you
not see that you never concede a point to the
blacks until you are absolutely forced to it
that you are perpetually compelling them to
distrust and shun you 1
We do not mince our words. It is no time
for sacrifices to politeness. That you are
swamping yourselves as a party is no concern
of ours ; we object only that you are at the
same time injuring the country and prevent
ing its restoration to genuine peace. Why
will you act so madly ?
You know, as well as we do, that the con
fidence and good-will of the blacks is essential
to your restoration to what you consider your
rights. How could you, then, attempt to
exclude them from the street-cars, as you did
in several of your chief cities f How could
you permit, without remonstrance, your
women to refuse to ride if blacks rode with
them 1 Scarcely ten years have elapsed since
your ladies used to shame our Northern
caste-worship by insisting that their colored
nurses and maids should ride with them iu
our stage-coaches and other publio convey
ances. You still have blacks iu your
kitchens, your parlors, your nursuries, and
all about you. It is not, therefore, repugnance
to blacks as such, but to their new-born
political equality, that prompts the effort to
exclude them from street-cars. Can you
imagine that they do not understand this ?
And how can you expect to win their votes
while you thus seek to trample them down f
You used to be shrewd politicians, at all
events; have you lost or renounced that
capacity f If not, what can you mean 1
You say that the blacks are prejudiced
against you in secret lodges by unprincipled
adventurers: we insist that it is all your own
work. They would like to vote with "Old
Massa:" but he will not give them a chanco.
It is his doing, and not the radicals', that
imbues them with distrust and aversion to his
political guidance.
Here, for instance, is Maryland, under com
plete "conservative" control, with a "Con
servative" Convention, busily engaged iu re
vising her Constitution. That Convention,
that "conservative majority, might at once
enfranchise the blacks of Maryland; but it will
not. It insists on going to perdition its old,
blind way. Hut can you imagine, conserva
tives, that its blunder will not be scored up
to your account 1 Do you fancy that there is
an uneducated rice-lield or cane-brake
"nigger" so stupid as not to know that what
the conservatives of Maryland do is just what
you would do if you had the power f Can
you be so besotted as not to know that, while
you keep disfranchised the blacks of Dela
ware, Maryland, and Kentucky, every black
in the South will believe that you would serve
him just so if you could f
Of course, you will not mend your ways for
anything we may urge. You have counsel
lors whom you trust, and who are in full
sympathy with you, as we are not. All we
can do is to tell you just how you (and not
those whom you denounce and detest) are
setting the faces of the blacks like flint against
you. Do not blame them, then, a3 perverse
or misguided; blame rather your own lnulith
infatuation. Were you in their place you
would act just as they do.
National Political Partles-TUe Past
aud tlie Future.
Prom the Times.
The Tribune denies that its main hostility
to the Philadelphia "arm-in-arm" Convention
was due to the fact that it admitted men who
had been Rebels, but are now Union men, to
a share in the conduct of political affairs. On
the contrary, it declares that "Mr. Greeley has
no desire to exclude from voting or holding
office any who are now loyal lovers of the
Union and of impartial freedom, no matter
what they were in the dead past." We aocept
this as conclusive of Mr. Ureeley's views,
ilia BtrotirrpKt objection to that Convention
he says, was that it "put the loyal blacks of
the South under the feet of the largely dis
loyal whites" that "its policy was based on
the Dred Soott axiom tiiat uiacKa nave no
-;ria nriiw ii iviut.HM r bound to reSDect"
AJgl4VM l ' - - .
orwi tint. tin TAi'miRtrnction which it nronosed
was "based on the old dodge of reconciling

and Harmonizing uie wnnes ut me expense,

declares that he was always adverse to that
sort of reconciliation: "period constitutional
anA lccrnl vpi'nrrni tinii and tmarantee of the
equal rights of all men is his corner-Btone of
reconstruction."
Wa HTirmnHn Mr. Greelev means civil richts;
for at the time that Convention met neither

Greeley himself had demanded equal political

Tnn wbi. h Mr. Greeley now insists. It did.
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAM PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY,
not insist upon, nor assent to, universal rifsi.ro
Fiiffiage; nor at that time did either the lie
publican party or the Republican majority in
Congress. Nor did it look to Congress for
legislation which should control State action
in these respects; for even Congress had not
reached that point then. Hut it did pledge
itself, fully and unreservedly, to the absolute
equality, in all civil and personal rights, of all
the people, black and white, of the Southern
States; and to that pledge it secured, as no
other Convention has done, the voluntary,
hearty, and effective assent of the great body
of the Southern people through their represen
tatives in that Convention. That was a work
deserving of praise and not of censure. It
may not have gone far enough; but it went as
far as the Republican party had then gone
and so far ns it went, it was in the direction of
the freedom and equality of all men without
distinction of race or color.
Hut all this is of the past. We agree with
the Tribune that it is "dead'.'Jand that the
political action which is to shape the future
has to deal with other questions and other
issues. Congress, wielding the tremendous
powers placed in its grasp by the country,
with a bold audacity never surpassed in our
history, has carried the nation ages beyond
the point where either the Philadelphia Con
vention, or any other representative Conven
tion, would have put it a year ago. It has
decreed universal negro suffrage for the
Southern States. It has subjected the whole
South to absolute military domination. It
has imposed its own will upon the South, as
the only law, and the absolute condition, of
restoration. We do not say it has done
this constitutionally, in the exercise of power
and authority conlerred upon it by the Con
stitution, for we do not believe it; but it has
done it nevertheless, and it cannot be undone.
Negro suffrage will never be revoked.
The military authority now paramount
in the South will remain dominant
until the Union is restored by the readmig-t-ion
to political power of the Southern States.
The will of Congress, bo far as it has been ex
ercised hitherto, will remain law for the South
and the nation, whether it transcended the
limits of Congressional authority or not. The
acts of which we have spoken are acts of re
volution but they are fixed, irreversible facts
none the less. The Supreme Court may de
clare them unconstitutional, but that will not
annul them. That Court may decide that
Congress had no power over suffrage in the
States but neither that decision nor anything
else short of a civil war, will take the ballot
away from the negroes in the Southern States.
They have got it, and they will keep it. It is
worse than idle for any man or any party to
contest their possession of it, or to ignore, in
political action or discussion, the fixed fact
that, from this time forward, the negroes of
the South constitute an essential and power
ful element of our national and of their local
politics.
This being so, we see very little room hence
forth for the line that has been drawn between
radicals and conservatives, in the ranks of the
Union Republican party. Hitherto the main
difference has been upon the question of suf
frage for the colored race in the South and
that has been decided in favor of the radicals.
We are by no means certain that the decision
will prove to be the wisest possible but that
is practically of little consequence. It has
been made, and will stand. All men and all
parties will accept it, because they cannot help

be settled but they are of temporary and
comparatively trilling consequence. The
amnesty, upon which Mr. Greeley in
sists with so much emphasis and fervor,
must sooner or later be conceded it
is simply a question of time. He
may think that Davis, Breckinridge, and
other leaders and authors of the Rebellion
should be at once admitted to participate in
public affairs, and on this point he may con
tinue to be, as he unquestionably is now, at
variance with the Republican party. Hut
this can scarcely be deemed a matter of vital
or permanent dissension. So there are other
issues, such as confiscation, nomination of
negroes to olhce, assertion of the authority of
Congress in the matter of suffrage over the
JNorthern btates, &c, wnicli a few men, ex
treme alike in their opinions and their auda
city, are determined to fasten upon the Re
publican party; but they will scarcely succeed,
we trust, even eo far as to create any percep
tible disturbance in the ranks of the party,
still less to inter te re witk its substantial har
mony and success.
With the adoption by the South of the Re
construction measures of Congress, and the
readmission of the Southern States to their
share of political power, will end, we hope,
the embittered political strife to which the war
nas given rise, accepting ine status ot allairs
as fixed and irrevocable, whether by a fair
exercise oi constitutional authority or a vio
lent assertion of revolutionary power, the
great body of the people, of all parties, and of
both sections, will be prepared to adopt a
policy based upon the actual condition and
necessities of the country. Conceding that
the negroes of the South will henceforward
vote, all men are equally interested in securing
for them the means of fitting themselves to
vote intelligently. The restoration of Southern
industry, the promotion of iiitersectional har
mony and co-operation, the removal of all
causes of strife among races and classes, the
reduction of publio expenditure, the equaliza
tion of public burdens, the removal of publio
abuses, the relief of industry from hurtful
restrictions, and the permanent guarantee to
all men, by peaceful means and through
mutual interests, of equal civil and political
rights, will bo th leading objects at which
considerate men of all parties will steadily
aim; and if smji men unite in a common ell'ort
to secure them, their speedy attainment, iu
Bpite of clouds and discouragements, is rea
sonably certain.
The Doiululou of Canada,
From the Herald.
Our friends over the border are just now
having a season of great joy. Iu the new form
of government a consolidated power they
imagine they see the beginning of a new era
in their history that is destined to develop the
country, mobilize its power, enrich the pooplo,
and make the new dominion a second edition
of. Paradise. Of course we can have no objec
tion toHhe Canadian people looking on the
bright side of the picture; but we fear that
the Confederation scheme has turned the
heads of their ablest statesmen, and that the
reaction, when it comes, will result very dis
astrously for the stability of the Dominion.
For a few years the new scheme may work
very satisfactorily, but in the end it will
accomplish just what its promoters seek
to avoid, the absorption of the Canadas by
the United States. No one will attempt
to deny that Canada in the past half cen
tury has made remarkable progress seooud
only, pel haps, to this country or that they
have within thei border some of the ablest
statesmen this hemisphere has produced. The
people are industrious and happy, but laok
the "push" that is characteristic of the
Yankee and has made the United States whaj
it is to-day a power before which European
Governments bow, with respoct, and the Chi
nese and Japanese kneel in reverence. fHill,
mn h of our success is owing to the liberality
with which we treat the emigrants arriving
upon onr shores, and the entire absence on
our part of that ppirit that says to the toiler in
the mine and the workshop, "I am nobler
than thou." Here labor is honorable. In
Canada they still cling to the old and absurd
ideas of caste. The aristocracy, that has
sprung from questionable origin, is the curse
of the country, and this scheme of confedera
tion is merely a cover to introduce into the
new dominion all the absurd customs of the
aristocracy of the Old World.
The reliellion of 1837-8, under Mackenzie
and Papineau, was brought about by the
oppressions of the citizen and agricul
turist, who could not trace their
lineage to gentle blood, by those who
claimed superior status in society. The
offices in the gift of the Government were
bestowed upon brainless scions of English fami
lies, w ho were supported in their licentiousness
by the money gathered from the poor tax
payer. Lord Durham, however, straightened
things out, and Canada became under the
union virtually a self-governed country, and
since then the provinces have made happy
progress. Much of this success, however, is due
to the American spirit that has been infused
into her population from this side of the St.
Lawrence. At the present time perhaps one
third of her population are at heart annexa
tionists, who will never be satisfied while the
country is a dependency of Great Hritain.
The idea of a nationality under the protecting
arm of the mother country, it is true, will do
much to unite the people for a few years; but
a reaction must come when the pockets of the
people are drained to sustain a standing army
now supported by the home Government.
Then will bo seen the beginning of the end.
The French population has never had any love
for English institutions, and do not forget what
their forefathers suffered in the past. They
may for a time yield a tacit submission to the
new order of things, but the influence of this
element in the provinces, added to that of the
American residents, will bring forth fruit and
culminate in another rebellion, or a popular
movement in favor of annexation or indepen
dence so sweeping in its character that its
success will be beyond the peradventure of a
doubt. After all, perhaps, it is just as well
that this confederation scheme, which sounds
so large, should be fully tested and permitted
to develop itself. Of the results the most
ardent annexationists can have no fear. A
twenty years' trial of it will dispel the beau
tiful picture upon which the people have set
their affections. In the meantime, the popu
lation will become more Americanized and ripe
for a radical change of government.
There is one point, however, in which it
appears to us the provincials are peculiarly
shortsighted. Time and again the English
press and politicians, speaking for the Govern
ment, have declared that the mother country
considers her North American colonies expen
sive elephants, of which she would gladly be
relieved, and permit the people to choose their
own system of government and rulers. Why
this oiler has not been accepted we are at a
loss to conceive. Independence, surely, is far
superior to confederation. Let us look at the
question for a moment. Were the provinces
an independent consolidated power, they
would command alike the protection or hncr-
iana ana tne Lnited btates. The necessity of
expending annually eiuut or ten million dol
lars for defenses, as will now bo the case, would
ie removed, and I onian raids and terror ol war
between England and the United States
would cease. Hut there are still
larger benefits to be derived. The provinces
are rich in gold, coal, silver, and other mineral
resources and lumber. What they most require
is capital to develop their vast treasures. The
cautious European capitalist is too careful of
his funds to invest in a colony many hundred
miles from the mother country, which, in the
event of an interruption of friendly relations
between the United States aud England, would
become the battle ground. For the same
reason the American capitalist will not assist
in developing the resources of these provinces.
Were the colonies an independent power
these objections could no longer be urged.
They would be neutral territory, and the only
force required' would be a small constabulary
to protect the people and enforce the laws.
Capital would How in from Europe and the
United States; the splendid water power
would no longer remain unemployed; the
dilapidated hamlets, consisting of a tavern,
post office and store, would grow into pros
perous towns; and in exchauge for an interest
in the fisheries, we might be induced to nego
tiate a new Reciprocity treaty, giving them
iree trade aud sweeping all the custom houses,
wilh their corrupt and fat officials, from the
border. With all these advantages the pro
vinces would no longer be convulsed by inter
nal dissensions, and annexationists would be
unknown; for they would be, for all practical
purposes of trade, a part and parcel of the
United States, with this difference, that in half
a century they would have reached the goal
of their ambition, a nationality of their own,
with all tho advantages of self-government,
but not inimical to that of the United States.
Let the advocates of a new dominion, with a
prince to reign over them, read, reflect, aud
inwardly digest these things.
