TEE VOICE OF OHIO. 'Gov. COX'S 111111131111111 Address •-atotierate and ratirtostc Views. - The inaugural addres4 of Gov. Cox, o: Ohio, is a scholarly production. moderate ia its view§ and patriotic in all its tone. If the views which run through the following, animated all our public meni happy would it be for the republic. We quote so much of the message as is devoted to national affairs: Congress and the President are now at 'work upon the details of complete restora tion of civil government in the States lately .rebellious, and we, in common with the whole country, are watching their progress with the most earnest hope that they 4115 V speedily, agree upon a national policy which shall thoroughly accord with the highest interests of the whole land. Ido not regard this a proper time to .discuss specific meas', urea which are before our Federal legisla tine and authorities, but all our public acts insour State organisations, as well , as in our national capacity, must be more or less modifiedhy circumstances shaped by the great war in which-we have been engaged, aed it . seems necessary "therefore s as a pre paration for every species of public duty,' Ihatvre'ishouldlook with'special care atany . aangerous tendencies the war may have developed and recall the general, principles which should guide our action' as servants asp the people. ' It is in the excitement of a Ertritraggle that the institutions of a country are in the most danger of change,' and perhaps no nation has - ever passed through suoh a con, vulsion as ours .and 'then ,returned to the principles of gOvemment and exact form or constitution which it had before. The maxim that, revolutions, Ad' not go backi ward, taw seemeitto have even a wider eil.4 deeper significance than has - been popu- larly given to it.,; The same lawof progres sion which has . made „the convulsions of monarchical governments tend toward the development of, popular liberty, has in re publics too often . led to adespotism of classes or of factions, and thende by easy staras to anarchy and utter' isruption. A victorious majority, flushed with its triumph, nuda it easy to forget the:rights of minorities; and it remains for us to prove whether, in our day, the old cry of "Wnoe to the conquered" may be silenced by a truly republican determi nation to administer the government for the • real advantages of all—of the defeated rebels, as well as the loyal victors. The war was not waged by us, who' re mained faithful to the Government, to sub vert any of the principles of human liberty upon which that Government was based, but to confirm and establish them. The one great; doctrine which has been settled by the war is that the National Union can not and shall not be destroyed by the action of any of the States composing it: but its continuance, its modification, or its dissolu tion shall be determined by the whole people acting as one nation under the forms of the Federal Constitution. The one great social change which has been determined by the same event, is the abolition of slavery, the existence of which was staked upon the success of the rebellion, of which it was the cause. These things have been decided in the dread court of last resort for peoples and nations. By as much as the shock of armed hosts is more grand than the intellectual tilt of lawyers; as the God of battles is a more awful judge than any earthly court; by so much does the dignity of this contest and the finality of this decision exceed that of any human tribunal. If we have not been right in pledging our lives and for times to save our country, then the blood of the myriads of heroes who have fallen, rests with murderous guilt uponour souls, and we should never consent that the justification or condemnation of this great people should rest, now or hereafter, with any bench of judges, however learned, espe cially when each judge must determine his own cause, since he must have been for or against the country in her struggle. There are some things to which courts of law can add no sanction, and an appeal to God when it seizes the sword is one of them. We may, when necessary, try individual traitors, and the people of the United States will appear as prosecutor, but not as de fendant at the bar. Being conqueror, the Government has the undoubted nght to impose terms upon the conquered, but in the statement of what should limit and define these terms, diffi culties arise. We are apt, indeed, to listen with impatience to any limitation of our control over those who are subject to ns. The •pleasures of rulership and the joy which is felt in the exercise of power have alwaye appealed with peculiar force to the frailties of human nature, and professed re publicans have been as subject to their temptation as other men. In a time like this most of us feel the necessity of check ing our impulses and passions, challenging the motives and the consistency of our actions, and of fastening oar attention, by effort ofwill, upon principles of government and of human rights which have been axioms to us during the periodof the growth of our institutions and of conflicts between us and powerful foreign powers. However unwelcome the task of-self-examination,we owe it to ourselves to make it thorough and searching. The ancient conqueror was accompanied by a slave in his triumphal car, who reminded him of his humanity and his weakness; we must act as our own 'prompters to moderation and justice, and remind ourselves of the rules which should control our action, and of the dangerous tendencies of our own nature. We need no stimulus to anything which runs with the whole current of popular impulses and •feeling; such things will take care of themselves, but no duty can be more im portant than of stopping occasionally to weigh well what seems to cross our desires or to question the direction of our progress. We have the right and are induty bound to insist upon sufficient guarantees for the fu ture safety of the Union- ' but those guaran tees must 13e such as shall mot be inconsist ent with a republican government for those who give as well as for those who receive such security. - Conquest does not rightfully give unlimited sway over the persons and property of the conquered and their rights may be dimin ished no farther than is necessary for the public safety. ' If it were proven that it would be impos sible for us to live safely, as'sharers of a common Governmen with the people of any State or commoni our republican ism might force us to co. sent to separation, but could not justify us in holding them as subjects; and this pro • e -ition is true with out reference to race .r color. Representation ot a privilege conferred upon majorities, .nt it is most efficient for good when it approaches most nearly to giving voice in the Legislature to all mi norties in proportion to their number. Il lit is better and safer that a minority, how ever hostile to us in principle, should be so represented as to be openly heard and an zwered, than that it should have the advan tage of winning sympathy and gaining parti sans by making issues upon the qhestion of the right of representation instead of anon the falsity of its obnoxious principles. Military government is hills very essence a,despotism, and any long continuance of it ter the cessation of armed resistance is contrary to, and a confession of the failure of, republicanism. These and many similar general maxims of government are the intellectual diet upon which every living , American has been 'bred, and of 'which we have been such earnest propagandists that no one of us can deny them without incurring' the contempt of the civilized world. They are mere ab stractions, it is , true, but we need to bear' them in mind none the less carefully for that. All rules are abstractions, whether they be the formulae for solving the problerkis of government or of-other soleness. We re call t.O teat au; verk, and we reckon ourselves to have made good; pro gress in proportion to the faithfulness with which we - have adhered 'to them. In the heat 'of our just wrath against those who would have swept republi canism from the continent, had they been successful, we are ,in L danger of forgetting principles to which we owe allegiance; and therefore we should Inot excuse ourselves from the thankless task of reminding leach other of them. To' follow these rules and yet provide that the national safety be not endangered, to determine who of the late enemies of the Government are without the pale of clemency, and yet to ektend am nesty to the other millions of those who were rebels, to restore political privileges to those who were formerly masters, and yet Protect the freedot .of those who were formerly slaves—su h is the difficult and delicate work before the Executive and Legislature of the Nation, and they may rightly claim of us all such appreciation of their task as shall make us most kited and charitable judges of their diffarencee. from favorite measures of our own. We have, indeed, reason to be devoutly thankful that the work has fallen upon men in whose patriotism and wisdom we have so great cause for confidence,) and that the progress they have already •Imade promises a con clusion which shall be reasonably speedy and generally satisfactory to the country. Death of Prefessor napes. . ': [ l:rom to 110's N. Y. herald.] Forsame years past the farat of Professor James J. Mapes, Alex Newark, N. J., has been,krioiviras - the "garden spot" of the State, and every agrictilturist of any pre tentious knows ita history. In .1848 it was about the . most sterile, barren and un promising piece of ground that could have been found among the sand plains and hills of: the State; but of late years it had become highly fertalized 2 tMder • the cultivation' of Professor Mapes, and at this time is said to annually , realize an income of about $20,000. Our readers will regret to learn that this model farmer, who created this model farm, is dead.: The story of, his experiment - is perhaps better "known than that of his life, which is not the lesamteresting. Professor Mapes Was ',born in New York, May 26 1806. In very early youth he de veloped a mind of great activity, research and invention. The early developments of his. intellect would have naturally led one to suppose that in after life he would have proved, not a farmer, but a soldier; for it is stated of him that when only seventeen years of age, he delivered a full course of lectures in this city On "Military Tactics," varying the interesting exercises on the closing night by the exhibition and expla nation of a model machine of his own inven tion, illustrating with figures, dc., the advance of Napolein on Moscow and the subsequent retreat] This model is repre sented to have been a curious machine, but it is not known that its principle was ever ' applied to any useful purpose. This invention and these ideas were the crude ones of youth. He began soon after to apply his inventive faculties to more useful subjects, and became interested in the refining of sugar, a business in which, after being engaged for six yeats, he failed financially. This life had led tc the close study of die f mistry, and he now divided his attention between this study and that of natural his tory. He had some knowledge of civil en gineering, and is said to have been the tirst :, person who ever opened an of fi ce in this city as a consulting ngineer. On the profits of this profession b 4 lived for nearly twelve years, devoting his'mire time to his studies. His success as a stildent of natural history was very great, and some of his articles at tracting attention he was made a permanent member of the New York Lyceum, and honorary member o' the Scientific Institute of Brussels, Royal Society of St. Peters burg and Geographical Society of Paris, while one of our State - Universities con ferred on him the degree of LL. D. He had begun as early as 1842 to attract some attention as a chemist (particularly by his analysis in a report to the State Senate of beer and wines, but still more so by his able papers on scientific subjects published in the American RePository of Arts, Sciencei an'd Manufactures, of which he was subse quently made the editor), when he for a time injured his reputation by publishing a work on agriculture, which was so full of what were regarded as wild and visionary schemes of a disordered mind that he every where met with derision, even from the American Institute, before which he had lectured. Professor Mapes's reputation never entirely recovered from these attacks, though it was soon after found that he and Dr. Liebig, the great German authority on similar subjects, agreed with singular ex actness in their philosophy regarding the "progression of primaries" and other theories. His succe s as a farmer had, how ever, much more tot do with the re-establish ment of his character as a sound chemist than the circumstan ce of the correspondence df his ideas with ! those of the German chemist. As a farmer Pro fessor Mapes has given hundreds of useful discoveries to the world, and not a few important inventions. The sub-soil plough, rotary digger and spade, now in such common use,are his inventions —while his advice and experience in regard to chemical manures are accepted as au thority all over the , country. Shortly after his removal to Newark Pro fessor Mapes organized the Frankiin Insti tute of that city, ar was its first lecturer. As early as 1844 e was President of the Mechanics' Institute of this city, and has always taken a prominent part in similar institutions for the diffusion of knowledge. He was fora long time a Professor of Chem - istiy and Agriculture in the American In stitute of this city, and at one time was the joint editor of the American Farmer, a paper published inißoston. At the time of his death he was the editor and proprietor of the Working Farmer, •an agricultural journal published in this city. Socially Professor Mapes was highly interesting and popular. He possessed an exhaustless fun,l of anecdote. and indident, and had consider able reputation as!a wit. He was, we be • have, a member in full communion with the spiritual fraternity. He leaves a widow, three daughters and a son. Mrs. M. E. Dodge, well knowa as a popular authores and contributor to! Harper' 8, the Oorithil 1 Magazine, and other publications, is hi-i 1 daughter.
