France and Mexico.
'The very latest news from Europe
brings a sejni-official contradiction, in the
Paris papers, of the reported draft of a
strong military force to Mexico. It would
appear as if Prince NAPOLEON'S strong en
dorsement of the MoNnoz doctrine had
made the ruling mind of France pause in
its absurd interference in trans•Allantic
tiffiiirs. That, as was by himself predicted,
his been the heaviest (not the greatest) air&
of his reign. When Prince NAPOLEON
2gubbecl him for it in the Ajaccio pronun
c-famtnto, he did so, not only safely, but
with nirdice prepense- because he echoed
the opinion of France. The Prince, we
See, has resigned not only the vice-presi
dency of the Privy Council, but the presi
cler,cy of the Universal Exhibition (at
Paris) of 1867. Re does not appear to
have -relinquished his seat in the Senate,
)ior his seat in the Commission for publish
ing the correspondence of NAPOLEON I.
If, as -is reported, he believes that NAPO
LEON is not the legitimate non of LOUIS
VONAPANTE, he may think it his duty, as
Au undoubted nephew of "the llar3nunct
dills race," to retain the power of editing
his correspondence.
ALL NOTORIOUS CRIMINALS are certain to
excite a species of mawkish sympathy.
/Ls a rule, this feeling is co-extensive with
the magnitude and enormity of their
crimes. This seems to be the only way to
account for the especial interest which has
recently been awakened in the cause of
JEFFERSON DAVIS. Each new develop
ment of his Wickedness increases the zeal
of those •who are anxious to screen him
from punishment He was bad, as a traitor,
in the eyes of all; yet, since it has been
Ehown by evidence that will convince
every impartial historian that he resorted
to the most infamous, dishonorable, and
cruel means to make his treason successful ;
that arson and assassination were added to
the inhuman starvation and exposure of
our prisoners, he is becoming entirely too
sacred a personage for the operation of
Our laws ! Fortunately, however much
individuals may be misled by such diseased
fascies„ justice interposes her shield for
the protection of society, and not only
demonstrates that " the way of the trans

LETTER FROM 66 OCCASIONAL."
WASHINGTON, D. C., AIM 13,1865
Should universal suffrage succeed the re
habilitation of the Southern States, none I I
will be more to blame than those who ex- I
press such horror at the prospect of that
result. They forced the war with the free
Stale s by assumptions of superiority, by
Contempt for the majority, by violations of
law, and by a deliberate disregard of their
solemn oaths ; and they only saw their
error when the people they had depreciated,
end the Government they had defied, turned
upon and crushed the rebellion. The
Southern leaders are now on the eve of
committing a greater mistake. The same
spirit of intolerance and bigotry which
they exhibited to the whites of the free
States for a number of years, they are now
showing, and, if possible, in a stronger
Way to the colored masses of the South
ern States. Row difficult it is to educate
a prejudiced man or a prejudiced people I
Not all the lessons of the past serve
to light and lighten their steps along the
rugged roads of the future. Five years
ago slavery - was honestly regarded by thou
sands matt divine. and was rood a domi
rant institution. It was to many almost
immaculate, and up to 1860 had been the
impregnable fortress of the Southern aris
tocracy. When it was necessary to attack
it, those who held it "laughed the siege to
scorn ;" declared all legislation against it
to be impracticable and ridiculous ; let
tered themselves in the belief that their
slaves would adhere to them to the last ;
and only awoke from the dream when they
found arms in the hands of those whom
they had treated as the most abject infe
riors, and a wide-spread rebellion by which
these colored millions were made as free as
themselves. Realizing, amidst immense
auffiling, this tremendous fact, they now as
deliberately set themselves up against what
must he inevitable if they continue to
oppose it. I can . well imagine how dis
tressing it is for a Southern man whose
fathers and himself have for generations
controlled hundreds of human beings, and
have made money and have lived in idle
luxury upon their to*, to be forced to stu
dy the probability of placing in the hands
of their former slaves that right of suffrage
Which they alone have heretofore exercised,
and exercised to make their hold still strong
er by a sterner debasement of their human
property. To the feeling created by the
apprehension that this right may be ob
tained by the negroes, I attribute the recent
exhibitions of rebel venom and bad faith
in Virginia, North Carolina, and other
Southern States. In the extremity of their
rage the partiesewho show this spirit, forget
that they are only preparing themselves
for harder trials and sufferings. Do they
suppose, for a moment, that when Presi
dent Johnson recognized the State Go
vernment, (partly to deny that these
•Crevernments had been destroyed by
Secession ) ) and when he determined to ap
point Southern men as Governors over
the States that had been stolen out of the
Union, he then departed from the cove
nant be had made with himself and with
• the Constitution—that these States Should
be " republican in form," and that he
would stand idly by, and, under his procla
mation, allow the traitors to come back into
power by taking oaths which they intended
to break; that he would coolly witness
their efforts to re-enslave the colored peo
ple ; that he would remain unmoved be
fore such proofs of the inhumanity of the
.late slave masters in Richmond and Raleigh
as are daily published? Those who ex
pected such debasement and infamy from
Andre* Johnson are simply mistaken 1 If
the late leaden of the South, no matter what
they call themselves now, refuse to accept
the .generous proffers of the Government,
and to be instructed by the teachings of the
Experienced, they are no better than the
-wont of the rebeZe, and they are unfit
Ito be trusted with, confidence. Sensi
ble men, convinced of the weakness,
- arid constantly preaching, as they do, of
the destitution of the South, feeling the
.gigantic and irresistible power of the Go
vernment, would take warning by the
.Signs of the times. Such men, if opposed
to indiscriminate negro suffrage in the
south, could delay but not prevent it, by
throwing themselves upon the confidence
Of the Government ; by showing that they
intended to be true to their oaths, and by
assisting to ameliorate the condition of the
colored population. Do they suppose that
this population of the South, who have been
taught, for years and years, that the fruits
of their labor were all going into the
pockets of their masters, and that they
had a right to evade the toils of
the day, and that they had no hope in the
future, and no rights in common - with their
owners, can be suddenly liberated, and be
filled with the consciousness that they are
really free, without feeling also that they
are entitled to some of the blessings so long
denied to them t I would suppose that the
intelligent and philosophical Observer
Weld find it to be his interest that the
freedmen should be taught to read and
VOL. 8.-NO. 272.
write, to pay taxes, to aft upon juries,
than that, with a sense of their brute
power, they should, by municipal legisla
tion and by social obstacles, be kept in a
condition of discontent, until at last, forced
by the sharp contrasts of the hour, to take
that sure vengeance which has so fre
quently been apprehended. If the num
bers of .the blacks in certain of the South
ern States are greater than the num
bers of the whites, this is the fault
of the ancestors of the latter, who
traded in flesh and blood, and allowed
the appalling disproportion to go on. It is
no way to deal with millions of men, trans
ferred at a bound from vassalage to liberty,
to remind them that they are still inferior,
by unjust legislation and by every imagi
nable form of tyranny. Let us bear in
mind that the blacks of San Domingo only
became reckless when they found that the
Whites, acting under the fatal and mistaken
theory I have alluded to, tried to re-enslave
them, to teach us—now that this stupendous
complication is thrown upon our hands by
the war—how to behave toward the black
people of the South. But I may be told
that it is profitless to discuss these issues.
My answer is that they are upon us—they
are being discussed at every fireside and in
every workshop, and we cannot better pre-
P ..... ""lratIVAS- for our duties than by ex
amining the question as it somas. Lucie is
not a conscientious citizen who is not giving
much of his thoughts to this consideration.
When Congress meets, the whole subject
will be thrown open, and it will require all
the prudence and good sense of our best
men to secure a harmonious conclusion
and a la;sting cure. I am in great hopes
that the facts, as they appear, will not be
without effect upon those who call them
selves Union men in the Southern States,
and that these will help the President, in
stead of obstructing him in the discharge
of his grave duties. They may rest assured
that nothing is to be gained by bad faith to
the Government, or by ill treatment of the
negroes. Every manifestation of this only
increases the feeling in favor of universal
suffrage. Slavery was put forward by the
rebels as the prize which they intended to
retain. They lost, and in losing that, they
lost all powers in connection with the entire
question ; and if, when the rebellion fell,
slavery fell with it, so undoubtedly fell the
right to oppress the colored man in any
and in every way. You will see, from
what I have said, that the disposition of
this case, if not in the hands of the white
men in the South, can be materially shaped
by them, if they obey the instincts of com
mon sense, and are reasonably instructed
by the signs of the times. It is in vain for
them to expect to retain possession of the
State Governments under President John
son's plan, if they prove themselves to be
false custodians and dishonorable men.
Congress will assuredly reject any mem
bers or Senators that come here stained
with credentials of cruelty to the colored
race, or indifferent to the plain duties grow
ing out of the new condition of affairs.
