The OommlttMa of Vigilance are regueiteii to gin net leu than a week's notice of the delegate election*. ' 0. F. TAILOR, Chairman,' Ap open, avowed enemy, if be carry bimself independently defiant, neither asking nor re ceiving favors, compels respect'; but meaner, and degraded beneath the contempt of every honorable man, is that nondescript who curses the hand which gives him daily bread. What can equal the low villainy of the man who asks and accepts your charity, and then shakes his fist in your face, and calls you a " dirty dog I” This is the case The Southern people are chiefly dependent upon the Government for the bread they eat. They Soak around the Com missary Department of every military post, -will, bookoiß ana nags, asking ana receiving ration's to keep their ohildrsn.from famishing. Common gratitude would seem to require them to forbear reviling the. Government while they partake of its bounty. But with a lack-of propriety and an ignorance of good behavior characteristic of the Southern people, they re vile us while they munch onr bread. .These beaten rebels arc sturdy beggars, ca pable of the maximum of human treapbery, and incapable of respecting the rights of ev ery other individual. , J An honorable enemy will not ask favors of the man whom he proposes to overcome; atS more despicable than all is he who yields to . superior prowess, accepts the bounty of bis conqueror, and then watches' bis opportunity to stab him under the fifth rib. Let ue deal with these people according to their desects. Deal with honorable men as such, and with barbarians as such. If a man prove faithless by habit, deal with him as with one who seeks opportunity to abuse your clem ency. Taka men as you find them, deal with them for what they are. There is no merit in that sort of magnanimity , which affects to see no difference in meq. 1 Some men are capable of governing themselves, and some are not. The rebels are chiefly of the latter class. Any' policy looking to a restoration of the rebel States to (heir ante-rebellion status in the Union, in a less period than five years, will, in all human probability, result in a damaging de lay of u permanent reconstruction of the Un ion. These people who curse the Government that gives them bread; these sturdy beggars who swarm around the Commissary Depart ment bartering ruffianly curses for bread and baoon; these pretenders to an aristocracy that resembles true nobility as paste resembles tbs diamond —are untrustworthy, to be distrusted, and held in probation until they leam the alpha bet of honor and self respect,. . One 'course is both safe and just to vanquish ed and victor; In the eyk of the law these people are criminals. As Criminals they have forfeited the rights of citizenship. They are disfranchised by their own, voluntary act. It is required of parsons of foreign birth, os a condition precedent Co their full enfranchise ment, that they shall make-full renunciation of their allegiance to any other Government to which they may have allegiance, after a full residence of five years in this republic. Can we be more liberal with traitors and be just to ourselves 7 ' ' We say, No. The alienation of tbs South wag complete before a single blow was struck. Otherwise thore could have been no rebellion. Is the process of war and subjugation a- proc ess of convincing reason? No™a process of resistless force, rather. Neither bayonets nor cannon-balls convince the reason nor convert the heart. These compel aubmiseion; end in restraining the criminal, open up the way to conversion through reflection and natural reac tion. We must bold the.

THE TlOfiA COUNTY .AGITATOR, completely revolutionize public sentiment; un til tbe Southern people shall have emerged out of tbe wreck and ruin of the great war, have retusted prosperity, and regained their senses. Bad es they- act, ungrateful as they appear, •we cannot, ought not- to, expect• better things of iv people debauched by education, and demor alized by defeat in a contest into which they, Sung all the energise of their ardent, natures. We-must expect peevishness, and- the ill-natnre inseparable from disappointed ambition. Nor need we wonder at the disorder which afflicts a region where respgot for law was never a vir, tue or a rule.. The nest Congress will have to determine the policy to be pursued in reconstructing the Union. Let us hope that it will grapple with the practical question, eschewing theories and speculative statesmanship. The case is pecul iar. History discloses no precedent to the clo sest scrutiny. It is a case to baffle mejn who work by prescribed forms and arbitrary .rules. Diplomacy will 'not do, for there Is nobody to be' circumvented, nobody to be cheated, except ourselves. Only one thing can adjudicate this case successfully,.mnd that is Common Sesse. The Harrisburg Telegraph of last Friday ventilates a case of robbery which occurred in Philadelphia not long ago. One Gregory has been convicted of murder and sentenced to be bung. A ring of sbarpers convinced the man’s mother that they could procure a pardon for a certain sum of money. - The mother, by a life of labor, bad saved a few thousand d dlars. She gave it all to these pretended pardon bro kers, wbo, of course, pocketed it. and left tbe son to bie fate. They could not procure a par don. - \ ■ Upon this our cotemporufy remarks ; In “ this maimer the Executive and Legislative “ authorities, of ev.ety State are disgraced.— “ Combinations of rascals ore formed, .who “ lead the people to believe that certoio legia " lotion can only be had by corrupting legisla tive bodies with money." To which we reply : Very true; but if leg islative bodies'bod never pat themselves in, the market would there have been any purchasers? Such combinations and “rings” exist by vir tue of the laws of trade. It is common enough to bear it remarked, that the negro cannot take care of himself. It may be that some white folks are in the same boat; at least we think that the following official report of the number of rations issued to destitute persons at Mobile is evidence of the fact; To white persons. To colored persons, That was for May. In June it was— To white persons, 68,416 To colored persons, 8,000 We rather guess that it is the lazy, impa
