N. B.—The following law, passed.by Congress in 1860,
deems the' duty of Postmasters in relation to the de
livery of newspapers to club subscribers :
(See Lsttie, Brown ¢ 00..'s edition of the Laws of 1880,
page 88, chapter 131, section 1.)
"Provided, however, that where packages of newepa
pars or periodicals are received at any post office directed
to one address, and the names of the club subscribere to
which they belong, with the postage for a quarter in ad
vance, shall be handed to the postmaster, he shall de
liver the same to their respective owners. 2l
To enable the Postmaster to comply with this regale
tion, it will be necessary that he be furnished with the
list of names composing the club, and paid a quarter's
(or year's) postage in advance. The uniform courtesy
of Postmasters, affords the assurance that they telil

conscience for a thousand= worlds.
You apyear to have fallen into the prevalent
error, of. confounding the government with .the
administration of the government. You are too
sensible not to see that they are not the same.
The word government has-indeed two meanings,
and in order to rescue- the subject from ambi
guity allow me to say that the ordinary mean
ing of government s in• free countries, is that
form of fundamental rules and principles by
*Moh a nation or state is governed, or by
which individual member., of a body politic are
to regulate their action. Government is in fact
a constitution by which. the , rights and duties
both of citizens and public officers are prescribed .
axtd de:h'ned. If the word sometimes has a sec
-4,12444 or more ratited meaning synonymous
tration, and should not be confounded with the
original and true signification of the term ad
ministration, which means the prawns collectively
who are intrusted with the execution of the
'awe, and with the auperintendesee of publie
affairs.
.Opposition to the administration then is not
opposition to the gbvernment ; the former may
not only be utteily destroyed without affecting
the health of the government, but it may be,
and constantly is, thought to be necessary, in.
the opinion of the supreme power, the people i
to destroy the administration in order to pre
serve the life of the government. Thisois in
accordance no: only with the theory of our.
institutions but with the• daily practice of the
people. Every change a - administration at,
every election, Federsly State, or munisipali
great or or small, exemplifies this great truth.
The government remains intact, unscathed,
while the adminstration is swept out of exist—
ence.
In the light of tit:mt . explication you must/per
ceive that soder 'from "allying myself with,
others for the the purpose of undermining and
paralyzing, the power of thefgovernment,' the
very purpose of our society is to uphold. and
strengthen , the government, by diffusing among
the people such a knowledge of the principles
upon whit& it is founded, that it shalt not be
in the power of, any administration, whether
weak or wicked, to work its injury.
I yield to no man in hearty loyalty to the
government, nor in obedience also to the ad in-
istratioa in all its eonstitutional measures, what
ever may be my Irivate opinion of their wis
dom. You mistake me if you suppose I have
any "radical purpoie of undermining or par
alyzing" any of its legal measures. if I think
them iutwise i I shall nee my coneettutionallio
erty to say so, and if the administration
transcends the power intrusted to it by the
people, I shall endeavor to point out their er
ror, not in , a contumacious or unkind spirit,
but nevertheless firmly. To the standard of
the Constitution, oad the Union. under it, of all
the United States, I shall cling as the only
political hope of the country, our only defense
against anarchy and despotism.
WHAT MUST WE EITTPOHT ?

to deist*, the, fabri,o of-the 4outhera Confed
eracy, a fortiori, is it nob justified in removing
that - which 'their own highest inittorities pro
nounce- to: be its corner atone?" To answer
your. question intelligently, it is necessary to..
know the, nature of that "corner stone," before
We can Pronouride whether the' government
would be jdstified in renrevidioir attempting
terenaove it. If the stone should happen to.
be &providential fixture, unalterable in its very
nature by anything that man can do,a condi
tion of a phiiienl chartiotar, not to be affected
by any act of man, you will agree With me
that the-government would not be justified in
making any. such necessarily abortive and
Quinotic attempt. I presume from your ques
tion you , have adoptedthe prevalent misunder
standing of a passage in-Mr. Stephens? speech
at Savannah, in whioinhe speaks of the corner
atone of the Confederate-government. You as
sume that this corner stone is slanery, and so
our government is justified in its measures- to
destrey slavery. Although a great multitude
both in Europe and America entertain this ste
reotyped error, and it.has within. a few days
been twice reiterated-in the labe non-interves
don report of the Senate Oimmittee of "%reign
meet have adopted , any such corner stone. In
the first place', if Mr. Stephens had made such
an announcement in his speech (which. he has ,
not)i that would not constitute law for-the go
vernment. We de , not look for the authority
of the fundamentel , law of a government in: a.
casual speech of any members of its adminis
tration, not even, from the: President, but in
the fundamental law itself,. in its written, offi.
daily accepted Constitution. Now,. there is
not one word in the Constitution of the Con
federacy that gives color to any such idea as
slavery being the corner stone or the govern
ment ; on the contrary,. section ix. art..l clearly
repudiates it. For if slavery is: the adopted
corner stone of their government, common
Dense suggests. that, in their fundamental law,
they would and should use every effort to
strengthen and support it ; and yet they forbid
i that section. and Wide that very policy
which would give strength and permanency to
such a cornett-stone. Mr. Stephens, however,
has made no suck declaration, yet he Is. quoted
everywhere as' the source whence this wide
spread, erroneous apothegm has preceeded. . It
may be well to ventilate this matter more tho
roughly. •
TILE CORNIM SfrEER. IS THE INEQUALITY' EPT THE
I
Let us learn what Mr. Stephens actually did
say. His language is this "The foundations
of our new government we laid, its corner,
stone rests upon" ~what ? slavery ? no, "upon
the great-truth Chet the nacre, is not gnat to the
white man, that elarery"—which he then de
fines to. be "-subordination to the superior
race"—"-is his natural' and moral condition.
This, our new government, is the first in the -
history of the world based upon this great
pkeieal,. philosophical and moral truth." This
lOguage could not be applied to. slavery. It
Would be a strange misapplication of terms to
call slavery a phYsicat, philosophical and mo
ral truth. He had just been stating to his
hearers that the ideas prevalent at the time oar-
Federal Constitution was formed "rested upon.
the assumption of the - equality of the races."
This proposition be declares to be unsound,
and that the new government was founded
upon exactly the opposite idea. The error on
one side, which he combats, is the assumed
equality of the rates. The opposite truth which
he propounds is the physical. philosophical
and moral truth, that the two races are not equal,
and the inference he draws from this truth is
that this physical difference determines the
status of the inferior race. I confess I cannot
see how to escape that conclusion, except by
denying the inequality of the races; by deny
ing that there is this physical differeacebetween
them ; forlf there is this difference, then one
race of necessity, is superior, and the other
inferior, and if the two physically unequal races
are compelled to live together in the same
community, the superior must govern the in
ferior. Can you avoid this conclusion ?
PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND MR. STEPHENS rizocLeim
THE SANE CORNER STONE.
Perhaps you , may think I have adopted
Southern views on this point, and that the in
equality and physical differences of the two
races are altogether Southern dogmas. I need
not cross the Potomac , to find the same great
truth proclaimed in a quarter entitled to re
spect, and by one who politically outranks the
Vice President of the Confederacy, to wit; the
President of the united States.
You will recollect the interview, on August
14, 1862, between a committee of colored men
and President Lincoln, invited by hini to hear
what he had to say to them. His object in
aummoning them before him was to persuade
them to emigrate, and he bases his argument to
them on the very corner stone declared by Mr.
Stephens, tow t Oke kjeioal difference or ine
quality of the two races. .President Lincoln's
plan was to siourate the races.
"You and we," said he to them, "are differ

TEEM DIFFERENT MODES OF DEALING WITH THE
CORNER STONE.
Thus you perceive that bOth Preeident
coin and‘Mr. Stephens are in perfect Accord in
accepting and noting upon the same great truth.
President Lincoln accepts thephysirat inestrlalky
of the two rases as completely as;Mr. Stephine,
for where there is abr,oader iteffereno than (mike
between almost any other two racer!, it, would
be absurd to say they ire 'opal, esPecially
when the President jtistli Adds thailkis dif
ference is physical; that is, grounded in the
original constitution of each race. The "only
difference between tie President of the United
States and Mr. EitePhene is in the use to which
they put this physical, 'philostipitioar and moral
troth—this corner. 'stone. Mr. Stephens propo
ses it in his Savannah ,speech as the basis of
the new,goverement Mr. "Lincoln aihrits as
the basis of his plan of separating the'rices
because of this physical difftirenee.
Stephens takes thentene, as a • whole, :npon
which he would construct a, government. Mr.
Lineoln would split the stone awl drag the
parts asunder. Mr. Stephens accepts the fact
and adjusts his fabric. to it. Mr. Lincoln also
accepts the fact, and is perplexed with mite:-
trioable difficulties in hie attempts to dispose
of the two portions of the common corner
stone.

It is well to notice these perplexities of the
President's mind as they are manifested in hie
singular interview with this colored delegation.
The great truth of the physical, dilierenee of
the two races is so palpable that he cannot
controvert it, inclihe • frankly declines to make
the attempt, yht, while accepting the faot, he
more than doubts the wisdom of the AO itself
by raising the singular question or right and
wrong/ upon its existence, aid the (no 'doubt
unconsciously)` isipugns the': wisdom of the
Creator, for who but filed could ordain.aphysi
cc? difference in the two races? The raising
of the question, therefore, whether a • 1/weirs/
fact is "right or wrong," as if .ther ,P e were
two. sides to such a' question, directly impli
cates the wisdomof the Creator. • The. Presi
dent, too, while declining to &scuba this
question of right and wrong, actually, decides
it to be wrong, by declaring it to be & "dim&
vantage to both"' races, in his opinion. The
plain goad sense of most of the remarkeof the
President in this interview, and'the collisions
of thought in hie-own breast which he disclo
ses, where truths and doubts come into con
stant conflict, point to some great radical dis
trabing error; not in the President's mind
alone, bat pervading the popular 'mind on the
subject of African.

persistent closing of the eyes to this fact of the
1 : physical difference• between Ale. two races.—
: Slavery is not. tho-cause of the sectional war,
but a blind and mad resistant° to a physical
condition which. God has ordained and , which
man is in vain attempting to subvert.
THE CORNER STONE, DOUR ACENOWLSBORD,
BOWES MIIF". TREED quEsztes OF SLAVERY.
Take your stand on this great aciknowledged
fact that the African and white racedare physi
cally different,. follow out this-truth to its logi
cal result,. and the questioner slavery,. or sub
ordination of the inferior te.the superior race,
is clearly solved in all its phases.
Do you. ask how ?
First—We must 'accept 'so a fixed fact that
ordinance ot god which he has decreed, that
the tworaces are physically diferis4t, and not
complicate the fact, with any modifications,
drawn 'from the prevalent visionary, infidel
notionnof an equality which has no existence,
nor make any vain Attempt to fix upon the
mere relation of superipc and inferior, or of
rulers•and ruled, morali or religions
,qualities
which, God in his Wont has not fixed to the
relation.
Becontk—We must leave to eaoh and every
State in the Union where the two, races exist
together, whether in larger or smaller propor
tions" unmolested control over any adjustment
of their relations to each other.
Third---In the kindly spirit of the fathers of
nfir,. which they brought , to the construction
of our priceless Conntitution, we, should re
frain from embittering the relations of the two
noes by an irritating busy-bodyism,a meddle
'some interference with the manner in which
She, diaties belonging to their relation to each
other are or are not fulfilled, and taking the
Apostle's counsel "to be quiet and Wind our
own business."
These three directions, carried out in a Chris
tian spirit faithfully, worth' restore the Union,
cm the only basis on which it can ever be re
stored. Whether enlightened reason can make
its voice heard in this din of warring passions,
and interests, so that its “Peace, be still" can
calm the storm that is desolating us, is a ques
tion I will not pretend to answer. It is to.the
true, sober, Christian sentiment of the conntry,,
when disenthralled from its entanglement with.
the delusive socialistic and infidel theories of:.
the day, that we look with any hope for our•
national salvation.
I have dwelt at some length on this oriel:pint,
because of its paramount importance. It is
noticeable and gratifying circumstance that
our President and the Vice_ President of the,
southern government are in accord on a, fun
damental principle. Union of opinion on one
point, especially if that point be fundamental,
is hopeful, and prophetic of further concilia,
Lion, perhaps pacification, in the future. The
great physical fact of the broad difference of the
African and white races, which the President
so justly and 'openly recognizes, liee at the root.
of the whole controversy respecting slavery.
Let ns, then, study the condition of things
resulting from this truth in the light of an
intelligent. Christian philosophy, not viewing
it through the, distorted medium of Abolition
spectacles, but with the clear vision of an eye
spiritually enlightened, and a temper of heart
which accepts a providential fact' with humil
ity, recognizing the highest wisdom in all
God's ordinances, however mysterious to us,
endeavoring to adapt our ways to hie &eta,
not his facts to our ways. In that temper of
heart you will clearly discern that tide provi
dential arrangement of conditions in, human
society has for its end a purpose of infinite and
eternal good to both races, a. ptirpcile. clearly
discerned in the light of GisePel 'truth, but
wholly obscured in the stroke with which a
proud but shallow infidel Phileeaphy, a false
Christianity and pretended , humanitarianism
have enshrouded the whole subject.
