HOW TO TREAT THE REBEL STATES!
HAY TREY RETURN TO THE UNION?
Whenever it has been charged that it was
the design of the Republican party and of the
admlnietration to refuse to end this war on the
simple submission of the rebel States to the
Constitution and the laws—but to prolong the
war with all its horrors, for the purpose of
compelling the abolition of slavery in the
States—the imputation has been vehemently
denied by a large portion of the Republican
press. The Albany Evening Journal has been
particularly conspicuous in repudiating, for
its party and the President, such a purpose,
and has repeatedly arraigned us for misrepre
sentation in making such a charge. The
proofs, hOwever, of such a policy have con
stantly accumulated, until there can be no lon
ger a pretense that it is not entertained.
IWe have in the Atlantic Monthly, for Octo
ber, just from the press, an elaborate article
from Senator Sumner, under the title of "Our
Domestic Relations; or, How to treat the Rebel
States," which puts forth and defends in a la
bored wegument, the doctrine of the =Nu ,
gation and extinction of the States, as such,
and their subjection to what the writer terms
"Congressional governments," and their re
admission to the Union only at each times and
on such terms as the pleasure of Congress may
dictate—and especially on the condition of the
Abolition of slavery.
Mr. Sumner is a Senator of the United
States. having within the last year been re
electeil-to that office from Massachusetts. He
is a prominent member of that body, and
holds the post of honor in It—..the Chairman
ship of the Committee on Foreign Relations.
' It cannot, therefore, be objected by any Re
publican that it is unfair to quote Mr. Sumner
as Competent authority as to the views of the
Republican party. He is eminently authority
in that respect. Let us therefore examine a
little into the opinions which he puts forth in
this his latest manifesto.
Senator Sumner expends several columns of
his article in depreciation and denunciation of
" State Rights"—arguing to show that the
States have substantially no rights which the
Federal Government is bound to respect. We
quote:
" Thus, whether we regard the large powers
vested in Congress,
the powers denied to the
States absolutely, the powers denied to the
Stites without the consent of Congress, or
those other provisions which accord supremacy
to the United States, we shall find the preten
sion of State sovereignty without foundation,
except in the imagination of the partisans.—
Before the Constitution such sovereignty may
have existed ; it was declared in the Ankles of
Confederation; but since then it was ceased to
Wit. It has disappeared and been lost in the
supremacy of the National Government, so
that it can no longer be recognized. Perverse
men, insisting that it still existed, and weak
men, mistaking the shadow of former power
for the reality, have'made arrogant claims in
its behalf."
Having thus annihilated "State Rights," he
proceeds to denounce the assertion of them as
a "pestilent pretension :"
" But the government had hardly been in
augurated before it was disturbed by the pesti
lent pretension of State Rights, which, indeed,
has never ceased to disturb it since."
Mr. Sumner has adopted the views of a
school of politicians who believe in making
the Federal Government a supreme central
power, unrestrained by any reserved rights in
the States—forgetting that the States are really
the sources and the supports of the power of
the National Government, and that without their
vigorous and constant aid, it would speedily
fall to pieces. But our object is not in this
article to discuss the general question of State
Rights.
We proceed to Senator Sumner's plan for
treating the rebel States, and for restoring
peace to the nation. He states his theory of
the effect of the rebellion upon the status of
the seceded States, at follows :
"And the whole rebel region, deprived of all
local government, lapses under the exclusive
jurlsdlatien of Congress, precisely u any
other territory ; or, in other words, the lifting
of the local government leaves the whole vast
region without any other government than
Congress, unless the President should under
take to govern it by military power."
Again he says :
"The whole broad region is tabula rasa, or
"a clean slate," where Congress, under the
Constitution of the United States, may write
the laws,"
hir. Sumner expressly takes the ground that
the States in rebellion can never, return to the
Union—however distinctly they may repudiate
the rebellion and submit to the Constitution—
without being re admitted as Slates by Con- -
gress, on such terms and at such times as that
body may prescribe. We quote :
"But there are yet other words of the Consti
tution which cannot be forgotten ; 'New States
may be admitted by the Congress into the
Union.' Assuming that the rebel States are
no longer dc : facto States of this Union, but
that the territory occupied by them is within
the jurisdiction of Coagress, then these words
become completely applicable. It will be for
Congress, in such way ati it shall think best,
to regulate the Warn of these States to the.
Union, whether in time or manner. No special
form is prescribed. But the vital act must
proceed from congress."
That Mr. Sumner. and those for whom he ,
speaks, intend to compel the seceded States to
abolish slavery as a condition of re-admission
to ibe Union, is evident from the following :
" Whatever shows itself dangersois to a re
PRICE TWO CENTS.
publican form of government must be removed
without delay or hesitation ; and if the evil be
slavery, our action, will be bolder when it is
known that the danger was foreseen."
The folloWing shows that apart of the plan
is to divide the soil of the rebel States among
the emancipated negroee
"But even if we hesitate to accept this im
portant conclusion, which treats slavery within
the rebel States as already dead in law and
Constitution, it cannot be doubted, that, by the
extension of the Congressional jurisdiction
over the rebel States, many difficulties will be
removed. Holding every acre of soil and every
inhabitant of these States within its jurisdic
tion, Congress can easily do, by proper legis
lation, whatever may be needful within rebel
limits in order to assure freedom and save so
ciety. The soil may be divided among patriot
soldiers, poor whites and freedmen."
Senator Sumner denominates these systems
of control, which he proposes to inaugurate
over conquered rebel &atm ae "congressional
Governments." He proposes these in lieu of
the " Military Governments" which the Presi
dent has established, and which the Senator
describes as follows :
"Four military governors have been aiready
appointed : one for Tennessee, one for South
Carolina, one for North Carolina, and , the other
for Louisiana. So far as is known, the appoint
ment of each was by a simple letter from the
Secretary of War. But if this oan be done in
four States, where is the limit ? It may be
done in every rebel State, and if not in every
other State of the Union, it will be simply be
cause the existence of a valid State govern
ment excludes the esterase of this ontraordi.
nary power. But assuming that, as our armies
prevail, it will be done in every rebel State, we
shall then have eleven military governors, all
deriving their authority from one source, ruling
a population amounting to upwards of nine
millions. And this imperatorial dominion, in
definite in extent, will also be indefinite in du
ration ; for if, under the Constitution and laws,
it be proper to constitute such governors, it is
clear that they may be continued without re
gard to time—for years; if you please, as well
as for weeks—and the whole region which
they are called to sway will be a military em
pire, with all the powers, executive, legislative,
and even judicial, derived from one man in
Washington. Talk of the "one man power."
Here it is with a vengeance. Talk of military
rule. Here it is, in the name of a republie.
"The bare statement of this ease may put us
on our guard. We may well hesitate to orga
nize a single State under a military government,
when we see where such a step will lead. If
you approve one, you must approve all, and
the National Government may crystalize into
a military despotism.
It will be difficult for the reader to perceive
how these "Congressional Governments" to be
established over eleven conquered States by
the sword, directed by a partizan New Eng
land Senatorial cabal and upheld by vast ar
mica, will be less tolerable than the "Military
Governments" above so graphically described.
Either would prove dangerous to the liberties
of the people, and end—as Mr. Sumner con.
ce d es the last would — in a " military despc,
dem."
This is, therefore, the plan of the adminis
tration and its supporters for conducting the
war. It is to be an Abolition war The sece
ded States are not to be allowed to come back
as States ! They are to be conquered and re
duced to territories ! The local laws and in
stitutions are to be changed ! Slavery is to be
abolished by Congress, and the soil is to be
divided among the emancipated slaves !
Will this plan end the War ? Will such a
policy strengthen the hands of the Union men
in the rebel States ? Rather ' will it not ren
der the whole population of those States des
perate, by showing them that they have noth
ing to expect but subjugation and destruction
from submission to the Union rule ? Does not
this policy prolong the war indefinitely, de
mand of our people yet more costly sacrifices
of treasure and blood, and involve the danger
of the utter destruction of our present system
of government and the loss of our liberties ?
The conservative men of the Country stand
in opposition to this fanatical policy of Sena
tor Sumner and the administration. They con
cede nothing to the rebellion—o 4 the contrary
they demand that it be put down, and that the
Union be maintained in all its integrity, with
out rending from it a single State. But they
couple conciliation with power, and say to the
citizens of the rebel States—" return to your
allegiance, submit to the Constitution and laws,
and your States, with unimpaired rights and
powers, shall resume their former spheres, and
again shine as stare in the grand Union con
stellation."
Which of these policies—we submit to the
candid reader —is most likely to stop bloodshed,
end the war, save the nation, and give us, in

IS SMOKING INJURIOUS?
The Answers of a few Ladles to the Above
Question.
Mrs. Brown,(of Bloomsbury Square.) "Most
decidedly ! Doesn't it injure the curtains ?"
Mrs. Tones, (Sea Shell Cottage, Brighton.)
"There can't be a question about it, and I am
only surprised how persons can be so foolish
as to put one ! Doesn't it stick in the gentle
men's hair ? and get embedded in their whis
kers? and hang about their clothes for hours
and hours, and sometimes days afterwards ?
So much so that any one can tell a mile off
whether the nasty things have been smoking
or not. I'm sure it is downright terrible to be
shut up in a railway carriage with a party of
oollfirpted smokers—for though they may not
be smoking at the time, still the unpleasant
smell of their garments is such as to make one
regret that Lord Palmerston will not bring in
an net of Parliament to make every. Cathy smo

Mrs. Robinson, (1002, Old Gower street.)

DEMOCRACY.
In contemplating the various phases of po
litical affairs and observing the rise and decay
of parties in this country, we are profoundly
impressed with the vitality of the old Demo
cratic organization. Scores of political asso
ciations have been formed, played thier brief
but exciting part in the drama, and passed
away from the stage to give rise to new experi
ments on the part of leading men and masses,
but throughout all these mutations, one party
alone has set time at defiance and preserved
its traditional name and policy. There is a
reason for this, It lies down at the very bot
tom of our political system. It is, in short,
that the Democracy has been, and is to-day,
the pcopie's party. On, the gelid fOUUdati9ll es-
the people's love and confidence, it was first
erected, and on that foundation it rests se
curely, when other contrivances of men to ob
tain and preserve power in themselves have
been shifting forever and forever like the
sands of the sea. When Mr. Jefferson, deeply
impressed with the abuse of consolidated power
in the old world, had interwoven with our sys
tem those muniments of personal liberty which
are established by the amendments to the
Federal Constitution, he laid the foundation
for a political order whose chief mission should
be to watch over and secure from aggression
these great rights, and who should be con
stantly strengthened by the masses in the good
work. The old Whig organization was illus
trated by the largest wealth, the highest social
influence, and a great share of the cultivated
intellect of the land. In spite of these signal
advantages, it gradually declined, and at last
perished. It was a most respectable, and it
was also, a national party, but it did not expand
with the widening area of the country nor with
the new issues that began to tax the thoughts
and labors of public men. It gave way, there
fore, to other political societies, but it was not
solely owing to a certain sluggish and con
tracted vision, that the Whig party ceased to
grow. A latent cause of this slow and certain
wasting away of the body, was that it wanted,
in a measure, at.tive aympatlig with the great mea
ns. It prided itself upon its wealth, its social
caste, and its intellectual culture. It was not
a party that ever taught indifference to the
laws, or treachery to their obligations—in
which respect, it is in shining contrast with the
Republican organization—but it was apt to lean
too strongly to the side of government, and to
turn the cold shoulder to the popular wishes.
Herein it totally failed, and herein it provided
for its own speedy dissolution. The pef r i e ,
outgrew it. It ceased to be re-inforoed and
recruited. Sectional ideas began to rally *boat
them thousands of indiscreet or vicious adhe
rents. The Whig party was not strong enough
to combat these new dangers. Its shield was
too narrow, wherefore it ceased to be. Let it
rest well in its great tomb. For all its short
comings, it was a noble party, and has left a
high and comparatively unblemished name.
The Democracy was born to good luck. It
was its rare fortune to have its love for the
people, at the outset of our Government, blen
ded with attachment for the Constitution of
the United States. As this Instrument was so
shaped as to provide most admirably for the
liberties of the people, the party which hes
ever in view the constant preservation of the
one, has an equal interest in the preservation
of the other. If the Constitution had been
deficient in those careful provisions for the
popular safety. the Democracy would never
have had an affection for the instrument. If
it had not so wonderfully established the limits
of power vested in pgblic agents, and so ex
plicitly guarded the rights of the States and
people against aggression, the Democracy
would have obeyed the instrument, but they.
Would never have felt for it that burning and
ardent attachment which has made them its
especial guardians and exponents during our
entire history as a nation. Glorious privilege
We are fortified in our regard for the brave
masses who have made this country "blossom
as the rose," by the great public charter
which first enabled these masses as a united
people to achieve such wondrous results. Sc,
it has happened, that popular liberty and con
stitutional law have become watch-words on
our party banner, blazoned ever on its ample
folds. They have become rallying notes in
our public discussions, the sign -boards, the
beacon lights, the grand land marks of our
policy as an old, stable and national party.—
This is the marvellous good fortune of the De
mocracy. It can never perish so long it clings
to these landmarks, nor can the laws and li
berties of the people perish so long as they
steadily reinforce the good old party on this
wise career.
The Democracy ! There is something electric
about that appellation. It is blended with our
greatest civil and military achievement& Li
is blended with the eagle flight of the young
nation from one ocean to the other. It is
crowned with the memories of statesmen and
heroes. Under its auspices the country etea
dily won a foremost place among the nations
of the earth, and if ever thie nation is to ear.
