back are also coarse.

KEIOVSTRICTION.
In the controversy going on about the re
admission of the seceded Stab s, their polit
ical relations alone seem to be considered,
and this does not cover more than half the
ground. To be sure, the act of bringing
these States back, is purely a political one,
but should we not know what manner of
person it is that we incorporate into this
body politic ? When individuals offer them
selves as members of a community, certain
restrictions are laid upon them, before they
can participate in the franchises
munities pertaining to citizenship ; and if
these are not complied with citizenship is
denied. This holds good of all persons who
have committed no crimes against the laws
of society. Persons however, charged with
crimes are by law forbidden citizenship, and
this because the safety of society requires
it. Here the social condition of the parties
offering themselves as members of a com
munity, is taken cognizance of, from the
very necessity of the case ; and, if this so
cial element of the character, is so impor
tant in individual cases, why should it be
overlooked in the admission of whole com- i
munities ? Individuals, in themselves, are, '
comparatively speaking, harmless for evil
in a community, yet what special pains are
taken to guard it from injury in this quar-,
ter. No good citizens has ever complained j
of these restrictions, and no community has '
offered to remove them,so that the presump
tions are strong that all acquiesce in them.
And why should not the same principle ,
prevail in re-admitting the rebel States into
the Fnion? Here are whole communities j
charged with having committed the gravest j
crimes against society, and the government, j
and who are still able to inflict the severest
injnry (and show a disposition too, to do it) |
asking to be incorporated into the body !
politic, without any amendments for the j
past, or security for the future. In the '
light we have presented this matter, does
it not seem strange that any body should
think of granting this favor ?
It is not denied that many of the rebels |
still abuse the whole North without meas- 1
ure. Editors, preachers aud worner. lead
off in the tirade. If any one doubts it, let
him read Southern newspapers. He will there
find enough malicious hate, and low vitu-1
peration of the North, to satisfy him. For I
we think wc were never more soundly bera
ted,and vilified,than we now are by the rebel
press. Of course, this does not constitute j
the whole Southern population, but it does j
represent the sentiments of the large ma-1
jority. And if these people ure restored to ,
all their former rights while they are thus ;
abusing us, what will they not do after- j
wards ? The presumption is, that as they
desire restoration, they are now under some
restraint ; and how long will peace last af
ter such a restoration ? We must not for
get that it was this gross misrepresentation
and abuse of the North that prepared the
Southern people for the desperate fight we
have just ended ; and ean anyone doubt
Vint that those who are now using this woa
pon against us, purpose mischief? The
means are the same, and the end sought af
ter is the same. Is it wise to expose our
i selves to this danger ? It looks to us like
the height of folly.
Besides, what is the need of haste in this
restoration ? No harm can come of delay.
The rebels went out of their own accord,
and they made calculations to stay out, so
they must be best fitted for this. If they
are left out in the cold until their temper is
cooled, reason may resume its sway, and
the profits of peace, amity and homogenous
rtess may become visible to their mental
visions : and then they will become a bet
ter people, and the possibility of another
civil war between the North and South will
be forever removed.
it tin* social element of the seceded States
is not radically changed, no matter what
the political arrangements are, there can
be no permanent peace between the North
and the South. This must be palpable to
every reflecting mind ; and if we cannot
be at peace when together, we had better
remain apart until in a condition b> insure
lasting tranquility.
Il leading rebels were punished for their
crimes,so that odium and punishment would
attach to traitors, as a matter of certainty,
and all political rights withheld from those
of the rank and file, who voluntarily took
up arms against the government, there
would soon be a change in the tone of Sou
thern arrogance, and spite, and sure indica
tions of lasting peace would come up.—
Very often men must be punished before
they will learn that crime cannot be tolera
ted!
There is no graver error than to suppose
that mild treatment will tame the turbulent,
and cure the quarrelsome character. The
man who asserts this, has yet to learn the
first lesson in the controlinent of crime. If
it be so, that forgiveness, and an entire
overlooking of wrongdoing, and offences,
has tendency to cure those evils, why
have we courts of law to punish the thief,
the house-burner, the robber, and murderer?
Is it not for the purpose of arresting crime
that we punish for its commission ? And
is this principle of criminal jurisprudence
all wrong ? Are the moral ethics which
govern the civilized world on the questions
of crime against society, all wrong? Who
believes it ?
Then, if we restore to the rebels, with
out any punnishment, their former civil
rights, they will come back, believing that
theij did no wrong in rebelling: and they
will come back too, with all their hatred,
and their willingness to tight us, or injure
us in any possible way. Is this right, or is
it safe ? With their sentiments unchanged,
and their feelings only aggravated by de
feat, the rebels will join our enemies any
where, and at any lime, in order to do us
harm, or break up the Government. If this
can not be done by an alliance with the
copperheads, of the North, an alliance will
be sought with England, or France, or both,
to accomplish our ruin. Is this doubted ?
Did they not try this over and over again
during the continuance of the war ? And
are they not showing us, in every possible
way, that their temper, and sentiments are
not changed ? Nay more, that they are in
tensified. Oh, shall we commit such a fol
ly as to throw the government into their
hands again, that the precious blood and
treasure which have been so lavishly ex
pended in its defense, shall all be for
naught.
Star A severe accident occurred on the
Flemington Railroad, New-Jersey on Wed
nesday evening. The accommodation line
which leaves Trenton for Lambertville and
Flemington at 7 o'clock ran oil' the track,
owing to the breaking of a rail between
Copper Hill and Flemington. The locomo
tive was crossing a bridge at the time, and
was precipitated over the side and demol
ished, an explosion of the boiler taking
place. The engineer was killed and the
fireman was very severely scalded. For
tunately the coupling between the locomo
tive and the forward car broke,which saved
the train from being thrown over the em
bankment.
The House of the Maryland Legisla
ture has passed the bill to authorize colored
witnesses to testify in the several Courts of
the State. The resolutions offered some
time since by Mr. Speaker FRAZIER indors
ii g the reconstruction policy of President
JOHNSON, condemning colored suffrage, com
plimenting the foreign policy of Secretary
SEWARD, aud approving of the Monroe Doc
trine, led to an exciting debate. The reso
lution complimentary to Secretary SEWARD
was stricken out by a vote of 37 to 35, and
then, as amended, adopted—year 47, nays
24.
The late murder of Mr. JOHN CAMP
BELL, in Herkimer County,uear Utica,proves
to have been committed by four or five
drunken rowdies, who were annoyed be
cause he declined to give thetn liquor. Mr.
CAMPBELL was the proprietor f the Willson
tavern, aud was just starting with his wife
in a sleigh to attend a donation party, when
the desperadoes arrived and demanded a
drink. Five of the party are in jail.
i>s£f A gentleman who has just returned
to Mobile from a trip among the planters in j
in the river counties in Central Alabama, !
reports that since the Ist of January ne
groes have been anxious to contract, and
have been taken by planters at fair prices,
and that the demand for labor is so great
through that section that he did not see or I
hear of a single unemployed freedman dur
ing his trip. Numbers of negroes have
voluntarily left Mobile for the purpose of
going to work upon plantations in the cot
ton-raising districts of the State.
The C liicago Republican says that j
Miss ELLEN O'MAHOXEY, Head Centress of
the Fenian Sisterhood, is not, as is general
ly supposed, the wife, daughter, or sister of
the Irish Chief, JOHN O'MAHONEY. For
many years she was the Principal of the
High School at Quiney, and added to her
reputation as a teacher by her essays and
other productions presented to the Teach
ers' State Conventions In 1863 she went
to Chicago, and was made an assistant of
the Kinzie School.
Oaf A disturbance recently occurred at
Pontotoc, Miss., resulting in the death of
an officer in charge of the Freedmcu's Bu
reau in that place. From reports it appears
that a large party in Pontotoc became in
censed against the bureau and engaged in
riotous proceedings. It is said the agent
of the bureau was murdered in his bed and
i that his assaillants declared their animosity
i against the United States, saying they had
! not had war enough and still wanted to fight
| the Government.
The National Wool Grower's Associ
j ation assembled in Pittsburgh on the 18th
l inst., and a permanent organization was ef
fected. About two hundred delegates were
present, representing a capital of at least
$1,000,000. Dr. Jrurs F. LEMOYNE, of
Washington County, was chosen President.
The object of the Association is to advance
the wool-growing interests ot the United
' States, to harmonize the interests of the
producing and manufacturing interests of
j the United States, so as to advance the
| prosperity of our common country.
B*®"- A party just arrived at St. Louis
from tin- plains report tliat, on the2tith ult.,
a small party of troops wore attacked by
about one hundred Indians, near Fort
Fletcher, on the Platte. Two of them were
killed and four wounded. Only one of them
escaped uninjured. The Atchison trre.
I've** says the men were walking thought
lessly, with their guns in the wagon and
their catridges in their sacks. Had it not
been for a boy, who discovered the Indians
and gave the alarm, all would probably
have been killed.
SOUTHERN PEOPLE. -There is no better ev
idence of Ihe disposition of the great mas
ses of the Southern people to disobey the
laws oi the nation than the exhibition of
their utter contempt for the loyalists of
that section, and their general treatment
of the freed race. The history of the slave
population has not been forgotten. The
riches accumulated by slave labor have
been sacrificed by mad ambition, in the at
tempt to prove our republican form of gov
ernment a failure, and for the purpose of
establising a confederacy having in its con
stitution the reproachable word "slave."
Baffled and defeated in their unholy schemes
with the wrecks of fortunes alone remain
ing, it is natural, after having been van
quished by foemen who knew no defeat,
that they should revenge themselves upon
the freedmen, and inflict untold cruelties,
unparalelcd even by the recollections of the
palmiest days of slavery Reports received
at the freedmen's bureau unite in the state
ment that the freedmen conduct themselves
with propriety and toil incessantly where
fair wages are paid. Notwithstanding
these facts the late slaveholders are not
satisfied, and but for the presence of the
military and the prompt enforcement of the
laws, the lives of the freedmen would be
imperiled.

troduced the Hon. George Bancroft, who
delivered the memorial address.
SENATOR COWAN. —This gentleman who
by some hocus-pocus was some years ago j
chosen one of the Senators from this State. !
proves, as we have more than once said be- j
fore to be a southern abstractionist and a
pro-slavery advocate in all its phases. He j
votes with the southern sympathizers !
against every measure calculated to bene
fit the poor, emancipated negro, without
regard to its character. He is generally
the only man in the Senate, elected as a
Union man, who votes in this way. The
Other day when the District of Columbia
Suffrage Dill was under debate, he deliver
ed tht) following statesmanlike view on the
question : " It was now proposed, after
having freed the negro, to give him the
right of suffrage. What would that do?
Simply increase his chances for getting
his head broken at the polls by a stronger
race." Are we to infer that Mr. Cowan
stays away from the polls from fear of
coming in contact with a stronger head
than his own ? — German/own Telegraph.
