L.d.rat re.tu;dious to Ntw.Loyi and Anent, TUESDNY, JANUARY b., 1967 YESTERILV: • morning the C , ,trovreial contained *a' double-leaded editorial, re flecting in the' severest manner upon one of the Republican candidates for United States Senator, and upon several members of the Legtslature. We j know something of the Senatorial contest now progressing,. - but we know bottling to justify such dam aging imputations. If our neighbor does, he should go before the proper grand jury and .demand bills bf indictment. If he does not lineW enough to lead him to do this, he does not know enough to his sweeping incriminations. . So far we have avoided espousing the claims of either Cameron on Curtin for Senator. We know each or them well, and have served each, in time past, disin terestedly, and at our own proper cost and charges; but we have notshouldered the quarrel- of either against the other, and do ) not mean to now or in time to cone. But we resent, as a slander upon the Rernib can party, end upon representative gov— ernment,: the sweeping and unsupported charges made by the Cow:medal. The most unscrupulous t Democratic organ iu the State has never made so'territie nd unprovoked an assault upon any man or_ ,men of the Republican party. IDEAS OF 'SOUTHERN LOYALISTS The Southern Republican Association :includes among its members nearly every prominent Unionists in the Southern 'Stnies. ' A series of resolutions and a memorial, adopted ,by this, association on Restoration, have been presented to Con gress and referred to the Committee having that subject in charge. The ground taken is that upon the surrender of the rebel armies the population of the South ern States passed under the control of the President, but only in his capacity as corn. wander-in-chief-of the army, and for no other purpose than to maintain order until the_ will of Congress could be asserted. Whoever considers this point maturely, not simply in view of the explicit provi : -sions of the Constitution, but as enlight ened by the genius of popul:ir govern ment, will certainly perceive that no other idea is admissible. The President ha, neither dictatorial nor legislative powers, Ili a civil magistrate. His function is to . ftSCCUtt. Snell laws as are made by the de• partment charged with that authority. This conception being admitted,. it follows necessarily that the President, in proceed _ hag to appoint Provisional. Governors, in convoking CConventions to amend, State Constitutions, in dictating what Upend meats should be made, and in generally ' prescribing the conditions precedent to Re consti action, totally transcended his power, and transgressed equaly against Congress and the revolted State . Whatever he did in these -paraeulars is consequently null and void. . '_i Recokuizing, these prinhiple N the A.SEO— urge Congress to set .a_sfdo all the Prvideat has done in creating spurious governmelital organizations, and to estab— lish Milers based on the admission to the right of suffrage and elegibiity to office of all loyal .citizens of whatever race- or color they may be; exclusion, until relieved by Congress, from the right of suffrage, and froth offices of honor, trust or profit under under the general, State, Territorial and municipal, governfnents, of all persons echo held °tiled under, the Confederate States, or any one of them, and whether the office was cidil or military. This goes•vastly be yond the -pending Constitutional Amend ment, for . that deprives no man 01 the right to vote, leaves the whole question of suffrage to be detertufned by the States respectively, and only 'debars from office those who held positions of the higher grades under the rebel government, and that until Congress shall proper to re move the restriction. i It is evident from the positions Luken either that the Southern Unionists are bet- ter informed than Congress of the evil to be combatted, and of the instrumentalities adapted tolhat end, or else that their feel ings have .. .become: exacerbated by the wrongs and indignitles,to which they have been Subjected tnsuch a degree as to warp theirl.judgmenTs. , It must be confessed, howel,ver, tbat in their Memorial they make out a strong case. They show that the men who began and enhineered the rebel- lion control tLc li , outhern States and till all the cakes; that the worst rebels have been chosen as Represent/Laves in Congress ; that the Civil Riglts bill is disregarded ; that Union men and Freedmen are mur dered, and socially and civilly proscribed ; that the Constitutional Amendment has been defiantly rejected; that Treason is triumphant, and Loyalty prostrate, as ab solutely as during the war. Current facts, known to all nien of ordinary inkirmation, -go far to sustain these incriminations. It is a different questiOn whether "the measures proposedura the only, or any remedy . whatliver, fur the evils. enumera ted. When 4 nation has been long agita ted by violent passious, which have culmi nated is fierce and bloody it is again,t experience to maintain they will instantly or speedily subsidy. In proportion to the degree of agitation, and_ to the un animity in which it was shared by the controlling classes, will be the time requir ed for allaying it. Defeat has. a logic in it to induce those who suffer it to submit to what is inevitable, but not to change their ideas of the merits of the ctratrover ey. "Ithas often happened that victors, by • pressing advantages to the uttermhst.,have kept enmities alive when they would have' gone put, and seat 'contentions _dawn the stream of time to perplex future-genera tions, . Which might readily have been quenched at the moment. What Is desirn - ble is to bit the true mean between a mischiev:tr , lenity and an equally mis chievous severity. That Is the delleate• du.) , laid upon Congrep, and upon ,th - C loyaLpeople of the United States. • TEE STEEL TEADE.—The Seeretaty of the Treasury reports the importation of Steel nod manufactures thereof, during the last fiscal year, as foil awe: - - : Ingots, bars, sheets or vire 1,fftr2,'.:52 In forms not otherwise provided for ' 493,161 `Saws, abates, rasps and floats 510,171 Cutlery, and Miter manufactures—. 4,7-5,97.5 WOOL A' Wootm:s.=There was Im— ported into this country, last year, articles to values as follows: wool Woolen end wort Lod goais. h •hipP r :C:=6 • c!ft • - , AILEGHENY CITY ELECTION .

Papier-mache. No printing paper. The domestic man- • ufacturers hove had the market exclusively , to themselves, and as there Las been no I over production, they Lave made the prices to suit their owirPoekms: Red^ not com plain of the exclusion of foreign printing paper, for we are Protectionists. Nor' a:e• we weak enough to complain of the a:reiti of thei domestic paper makers. We expect the : producers of any article. to take the highest price the market will give thcLi.
