RECONSTRUCTION. We regret to see an effort made on the part of some of the republicans, to change the position of the party on the question of reconstruction We consider this ill-ad vised and unsafe. As a party, we went be* fore the people on the qaestion of the adop tion of the Amendments to the Constitu tion, proposed by the last Congress ; and we not only asked the loyal voters of the ! nation to sustain these amendments, but we pledged ourselves to stand by them. What right then, have we to abandon them? We have made a compact with the people, and we expect them to fulfill their part of | it, and they as certainly expect us to stand jby our pledges. II there was any urgent 1 necessity for changing the issue we made on the question of the re-admission of the ! Rebel States, we could Lave some excuse j to lay before the people, but to abaudon ! our position without this, looks like trifling, 1 looks fickle, and is calculated to destroy ! confidence in us. No, we have made the ; issue, we had set down our land-marks, and the people approved them, and let us show - onr fidelity to principle, by adhering un waveringly to them. This is the only way to secure the confidence of the nation. But there is another view of this ques tion wiiich it is important we should not lose sight of, and that is the fact, that the feature of the proposed Amendments to the Constitution, which found most favor with the loyal people, was that which dis franchises the leading rebels. Every man conversant with the loyal sentiment of the nation, knows this to be the fact ; and it is more than probable, that the Amendments would not have been sustained at the re cent election, has this redeeming feature not been in them; and now, having prom ised the people that this light punishment for treason shall be inflicted, it will be fa tal to change it for general amnesty. If there is one feeling in the nation, stronger than another, -on this question of recon struction, it is a desire to see the base scoundrels, who led this country into the roost fearful civil war on record, punished, in some form or other, for their crimes and if the republican party now changes its base, and agrees, upon any conditions whatever, that these leading rebels shall come back into full franchises and power under the government, it will incur such displeasure as will jeopardize its prepond erance in the future. And then, who is it that is so vociferous ly calling out for a change of base, for an abandonment of the Amendments to the Constitution, and substituting therefor, General Amnesty, and Universal Suffrage ? The New York 'lribune, to be sure, one of the most fickle, aud unreliable political journals in the land. In saying this, we do not overlook the great ability, aud great in fluence of that paper ; but while admitting this, no republican will deny its wavering, unsteady political purposes ; and for a par ty to attempt to follow it, in its vagaries, and through the obloquy its blind dances call down, would be folly, and sure to bring ruin in its train. No, the New York Tri bune is a great commercial newspaper, and a very reliable journal, and so is the Herald, hut to take either as a guide, in statesman ship, or a straight forward course, would he like depending on Mr. Richardson's kites for the dissemination of knowledge through the world. But it is urged, that the rebel states re jected the Amendments, and that we must abandon them because we cannot carry them. While we admit that the rebel states have, for the present, rejected the Amend ments, we contend, that it does not follow that they will continue to do so. New Jer sey rejected an Amendment, and afterwards adopted it, and so may the Southern States, if we adhere firmly to our purpose. When the Amendments were first proposed, it was not expected that they would meet with favor in the Southern Confederacy ; but it was believed that a firm reliance on their correctness would carry them through; and this belief, and reason, are as cogent now as then. The rebels may expect to drive us from our purpose, by rejecting our propositions ; and is it good policy, to give way when they do reject our overtures ! Surely not. This would place us at their mercy. For, all they have to do, in order to change our purpose, is to reject our propositions. This would not only be weak, but ridiculously foolish ; and would expose us to scorn and ruin. If, on the other hand, we are firm and unyielding, we drive them to our terms. For, every one knows, that if the rebels can get no better terms, they will adopt the Amendments ; and many of the leading rebels, seeing no hope of change in our oilers, aae commending the Amend ments to adoption. And then, if we abandon the Amend ments, can we get Universal Suffrage ? The last measure is as objectionable in the •South us the first ; and the South will only adopt it when she must ; but will she adopt it if we abandon the Amendments ? Why no. She will reject it as she does the Amendments, in the hope of driving us to terms. So that, by abandoning the Amend ments, we lose Universal Suffrage, and thereby all. Now, our only safety is, in a firm adher ence to our doctrines, as embodied in the Amendments. We have given the beßt ev idence in the world, that we can keep up the Government without the aid of the reb el states. Why then, need we be in a hur ry for their return ? The longer they stay out, the better for them, aud the Letter for us, inasmuch a* iheir perverse sentiments, and disposition to injure ua aud the gov ernment, will all the while be growing ICHB. The longer they stay out, the better union men they will be ; and will this not be better for them and us both ? ■ /,*">, if they corne back under the Aus. they will give the bluck man •V-A • • */, Iheir prido as States, and the ambition of their leading charac-' ters, will piompt this. Indeed, it will be- i come a necessity, in order to secure numer ical strength and political power. There is no shadow of doubt about this. All we have to do then, is to adhere firmly to the Amendments, and Universal Suffrage will follow as a necessity. It is all idle gammon, and that of the most truthless kind, to say that the people are tired of the agitation of the re-con struction question. This is one of the blind arguments of the Johnson bread and-butter-brigade, and a more miserable falsehood never was uttered. The peopl - kuow very well, that just soon as the reb- j els are re-admitted into positions under the government,there will be serious agitations, from which the nation is comparatively free, so long as they are out ; and the long er they are out therefore, the better it suits the loyal people. If the honest convictions of the masses were canvassed, it would be found that they prefer that the rebels he permanently excluded from all future fel lowship in the government ; but .<re will ing to concede civil privileges to the com mon people, inasmuch as they were misled. No concession however of this kind will they agree for the leaders. They hold that treason is a crime, and should l>e made odious. Justice, and future safety demand this ; and let the republican party not com mit the folly of disregarding this settled conviction of the masses. UNITED STATES SENATOR. There is a class of newspapers through out the State, that is noted for never hav ing any decided opinions upon sub ject. They doubt, and hesitate, when any great measure of progress is proposed, and watch the signs of popular opinion, to determine whether shall sustain or oppose. This class of newspapers just now is deprecating the discussiou of the merits of the promi nent candidates for U. S. Senator. In our judgment, much good is likely to come of the full and free investigation of the posi tion and capacity of the men who are brought forward in connection with that high office. If any of the candidates can not stand the test demanded by public opinion, their friends, in kindness to them, should withdraw them from public notice. No one doubts but that the people would be satisfied with the election of Mr. FOR NEY, Mr. GROW, Gen CAMERON, and many of the other gentlemen whose names are less prominent, so far as their position upon public questions is concerned. If there are those who do not like Gov. Oram's present position and past conduct, upon these same questions, we see no harm to result from a fair and free expression of their doubts. It appears to us, that this is a fair and correct test ; and that those who do not come up to the popular demands, should not be pressed fur the position. Gov. CURTIS, during the past five years, has occupied a position, in which he might have wielded a powerful influence to for ward the cause of Freedom. He has been Governor of this Commonwealth, during all the time, in which the great questions of Emancipation and Reconstruction have arisen, and have filled the popular heart and mind. How much he might have done to help along the good cause, when to be a Radical, required some courage, we will leave others to say. During all this time, he has persistently and avowedly abstain ed from supporting and encouraging those measures which the people now demand • shall feceive practical shape by the legisla tion of Congress. Having refused to take part in the discussion of these measures, we submit that he has no right to ask to be selected as a U. S. Senator, to settle them. If he performed his whole duty as Governor, his friends must recollect that lie confined his whole duty and action to the mere matter of prosecuting the war to a successful end, refusing pointedly to com mit himself to the support of political ques tions arising from the rebellion, and which now remain to be decided. The people have re-elected him Governor, to testify their appreciation of his loyalty and war record. They now demand that a man shall be chosen Senator who has been iden tified with these great questions, and who has no doubtful record. Gov. CURTIS in this respect, falls far short of the popular requirements. His steady neglect to speak out, so strangely aud remarkably in contrast with the course of the Governors of all the loyal States, has raised a doubt in the minds of many if he has at heart the great principles and measures which have received the popular approval. It is not enough for a candidate for U. S. Senator that he now acquiesces in the popular requirements. He should have been the early and constant and earnest supporter of the great measures which are now denominated Radical, the success of which are necessary for the future peace and prosperity of the country. S&~ Governor Pierrepont, of Virginia, in his late message recommends the adop tion of the constitutional amendment, hut it is scarcely probable that the Legislature will be wise and just enough to follow his advice. He predicts that if the South stubbornly refuses to adopt it, "Congress will be asked to set aside the State organ izations created by the President,and place these States under the control of loyal men, who will accept such conditions as may he imposed by Congress." This rem edy is constantly gaining advocates. THE ARREST OF SKRRATT. —The correspond ence Mondey transmitted to Congress exon eratas the evecuitve and the State Depart ment from all blame in connection with the arrest of John 11. Surratt. The charge has been that Mr. Seward, while aware of the pressence of Surratt at Rome,took no steps to secure his arrest. The correspondence shows that, on learning of his whereabouts Mr. Meward recommended to Mr. Stanton immediate p'occedings. The delay in con- Huinating the arrest arose from circumstan stauces beyond the control of our Govern, rnent. UNITED BTATE3 SENATOR We copy below, extracts from several of the most reliable papers of the North, showing that our views are generally held, by the radical papers of this section One of the important duties devolving upon the Legislature of this State this win ter, is the election of a United States Sen ator to succeed the apostate and renegade, Edgar Cowan. From the fact that this Representative and Senatorial districts are represented by Democrats, we at one time had concluded to take no part in the con test. But since attempts are being made to manufacture a public sentiment in lavor of a certain candidate, we feel it to be our rieiit as a Republican and our duty as a Radical j mrealist to give expression to our preference and our reasons therefor D i - no secret among those who know ns that our choice is Hon. SIMON CAMERON, J We have so expressed ourselves on all oc casions both privately and in public. Our reasons are : SIMON CAMERON has been tried AND PROVED TREE. He has no doubtful record. He has had large experience in publie affairs. He has always been faithful to Pennsylvania and her interests. He is emphatically the representative man of our State. He nev er violates his pledges. He can always be relied on. Again, as a statesman he has few superi ors. He is sagacious, and has always shojvn himself able to grapple with every issue. No man worked more arduously to put down the pro-slavery rebellion. He at once saw his magnitude. He intuitively grasp d the aggregate complexedness of treason's coils, and to him is the nation in debted for the very measures which caused victory to perch upon our banners and made the Confederacy bite the dust. In these perilous times we need just such men as GEN. CAMERON in the Senate. Char acterized, as he ever has been, by wisdom and sagacity, prudence and an enlarged public spirit, he is just now needed to take a part in the adjustment of the vexed ques tions demanding final settlement. The plans and principles urged from the start, by Secretary CAMERON conserved the nation, and the final adjustment must be based up on these principles. Let him be, seat to the Senate to aid in having the work done well and wisely.— Columbia Co. Republican. We do not wish to be understood by this as saying that Gov. Curtin is not true, yet we do say that up to September last,during the Gubernatorial contest in this State, he declined to define his position, and the friends of freedom awaited with the great est anxiety the development of the studied course of our State Executive. Not until his speech at york could it be fully deter mined where to find him—whether a repre sentative of the policy of Andrew Johnson or an exponent of the great principles of Freedom so fondly cherished by the loyal people. As it has been said by an able cotemporary.you will look in vain for a sin gle sentence in ali his messages and speech es up to September last, in which he une quivocally endorsed the action of Congress As Governor,he has done well, and the peo ple have fully discharged their debt of grat itude by electing him to the office succes sively as long as lie could hold it under tlie Constitution. If there ever was a time in the political liistory of the country when we needed tried and true men in the Senate of the United States, that time is now. The exi gencies of the times will not admit of iar ther experiment—we have not demonstrat ed in Johnson, Cowan, Doolittle, Randall, and others, and our only safe plan is to elect none but men who have been identi fied in the great struggle, and who have always been true to the principles involv ed. Him. G. A. Grow would certainly rep resent the Union party witii fidelity and ability, and is the first choice of the party in the Northern part of the State, but as Mr. Grow can hardly be considered a can didate at the present time, and the contest being narrowed down between Gov. Curtin and Hon. Simon Cameron taking the record of the two men during the past five years —we consider that Mr. Catueron has the preference, by fur. From the beginning of the war his course has been in unison with that of the great Progressive Union party of the country. He was considered too radical in 1861, and in consequence retired from the Cabinet, but long before the close of the war the measures he advocated were incorporated into aud became the car dinal principles of the great Union party. He has always been found one to the great principles of Human Liberty and his far seeing aud profound Statesmanship quali ties that were considered iu advance of the age five years ago, are now fully veri fied aud are wining him golden opiuions throughout the nation. Gen. Cameron is emphatically a pro gressive Statesman—a man who has al ways been first and foremost to take po sition in the front rank of progress, and with him in the United States Senate, the Union party will be sure of a true repre sentative and an able advocate.— Athens Republican. I NITER STATES SENATOR. —We can see grave objections to Gov. Curtin as a candi date ; and with no desire to do him an in justice,will state them. It was some months alter the breach between Andrew Johnson and Congress became manifest before Gov. Curtin found out on which side of the high dividing fence ho belonged. So late as the middle of last March, being in Harrisbutg. we were unable to learn where lie stood on the clearly defined issues of that stirring time. We regarded him as occupying a very equivocal position ; especially so,since most people had at that time recognized the difference between Congress and the Presi dent as no less than an attempt by tbe lat ter to usurp the law-making prerogative of the former. We believe that Gov. Curtin arrived at the same conclusion some time in the month of June or July following ; but not until the entire Copperhead press had repeatedly claimed him as a Johnson man, without eliciting from him or his friends the decisive disclaimer which the Republican press awaited with an anxiety that we 6hall not soon forget. We submit that the present is not the time to prefer men of uncertain convictions. It is morally certain that emergencies as grave as that which placed the President in opposition to the legislative power last winter will again arise—in which case the new Senator must be a man whose ability to take position on the right side must en able him to decide at once. Such a man we do not regard Gov. Curtin to be, and we should be guilty of a serious neglect of duty not to say so now. No man who found occasion equivocate last spring can be fully trusted to represent this great Common wealth in the Senate of the United States during the Administration of Andrew John son. The contest will lie between Simon Cam eron and Andrew G. Cortin,but Col. Forney will, apparently,make an unlookcd for show of strength. \\ ith either Cameron or For ney in the Senate the common interest would be safe. Both have unwaveringly sustained the cause of the people in the dar kest hour of the Republic,asd neither equiv ocated when the President undertook to he tray the trust reposed iu Lira. But the for mer will, according to present indications, bring most strength to the contest.— Tioga Agitator. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. Tirt'usDAV, Dee. t>, 1800.
