Joc'g Mercor, Cougre:min from this
District, f o far as we have observed, hat vo-
ted atraigbt along with the Radicals -the
Sieven party. These Radieala have chosen
opposite ground to the President. They
oppose Li xeatora'ioh policy, and claim
that ibeir. plan i tba right and irue one to
bring the State together. Their entire
conre, to far, has been hostile to the South
ern Slate and the measure advocated by
the PreTJenf. They have presened aome
dozen or mere amendments to the Consrito
tiooVaU for the nejro; looking toward the
granticg of the elective (:archie to that
race of be.ings totally unfit to receive tucb
privRege. Saroner, in the Sedate, a few
days ao, declared in a speech, that some
thing most be done for ihe poor r.e gro. that
his condition is now worse than before il.e
war, and if he was not cared for his c'aya
coa!d easily be number J Thia we thought
rather an honest confession fro 31 one of the
icoundreU who did ail in hi power to place
the poor black in 'their present helplesa
condition. Thja was a square acknowl
edgement of jost what ihe Democratic par
ty alleged, before the war, would be the re
sult of a speedy emancipation of that race.
The liberating of those blacks from bond
age, so suddenly, without any provision
msdelcr them, was the most unkiud and
inhuman act that conld have been perpe
trated open these people. U was a crime
against oatore committed opon them for
which the Abolition par'y will ever be held
accountable.; It is alleged by good Repub-
( lican authority, that hanreJi are dying ofl
j like sheep with the rot, that io some of the
most extreme southern states a disease has
broken nut among them which ia sweepin(
them off rapidly. The j have do master to
; look after their condition, to employ a phy.
'sician and heal them op, but are left to the
'cold charities of the public, without any
proviion made for their protection or com
fort. The freedman' bureau ia a humbug,
inadequate to the caae, and its abolition i
being strongly cr$ed in many quarter.
This done, the poor reyro will be nil worn
.-.2. Why does not Ma?achncett take at
'at ten thocsat.d of the-e needy creatares
;Cid their fat State, and give them the nec
essary comfort of life! We know of no
itale upon which the negro has o great a
:Iaira, nor no set of people more denervinp
a Iff pestered and hogged 10 deth by negro
vecchea than the fanatics nf ths Ne En
iland State. Bat these Sta'esaretbe last
a come to the poor B euro's reseat, after
browing bim ont into deep water. They
:and with folded arms and look complacent
j on while their poor idol ia making his
is! struggle for life.
Thcbe is considerable complaint amon;
le Radical Members of Congress that the
'resident does not treat them with the con
ideration they are entitled to in re.-ard to
atrortags. A pretty, Urye force called upon
lie President yesterday respecting the lead
's appointments in their district. They
ol no satisfaction as to the course he in--ndi
to pursue. Espopially is this the cse

'ichangt. There is consolation in the ebovt for both
iicals and conservatives. The radicals
ay think . themselves favored, that the
resident does not "treat them with the con
ieration they are entitled to." If he con
Jared their cases properly he woold cer
inly .conclude that they have been fore
'ost among those engaged in an attempt to
?erthrow the government of the United
i.'e, and hence ioil:y of treason. Treason
jing a crime which should be pucithrd,
i would feel that public jtstice demand
a life of every radical, and take means to
cere the use of a rope, the gallows and a
ngman.
The conservatives are happy to learn that

When the Democratic panj, opened the

ing win favor of the restoration policy ol
Andrew JohnsonJ the nepoblicatts accoted
tt of dishonest Intensions, and said we were
feigning to support )ohnson merely- as a
jtrick of partisan policy. iThey claimed to
ba the only (rue Johnson party, and attempt
ed 10 taniit us after we were defeated in the
election, by asking oa. then to show our
ta tin ia Johnson by .conjmmng to support
him. rThi was thevoadicion ef.affdirs then.

the power of Vnony, fraud, and liyfocritical
appeal! led the people into the traps of ral
icala and the Democracy were defeated.
Now, that Congress has convened, and
the restoration of the Union becomes a mat
ter which cannot longer be debated withont
consideration, we a-k every one, par icu
larly those who were induce 1 o sopport
the f epoblican ticket, in the campaign 01
last fall, to etamine carefully the conduct
of that party. They boldly oppose "Presi
dent Johnson's plana, and notwithstanding
he recommend that the Representatives
elected by Southern States be admitted to
the House, they even deny that Tennessee,
the home of the President, has a right of
representation. These radical cannot go
far enough to show their otter contempt of
the resident's plans lor restoration. When,
a few days ago, a resolution was offereJ, on
the Democratic side of the House of Repre
sentatives, asserting that it is the duty of all
good citizen, end patriot to endeavor to
ffcit the President in his constitutional ef
forts to restore the Union, the resolution was
received Ly the radicals with derision

discussed by the Honse relating to retora

said the Democratic party was dishonest in
it declarations of praise for Piesident John
son. ,
President Johnson asked for the admission
of Southern Representatives Republicans
say they do not snow any Statea in the ter
ritory where the late rebellion existed, not
even Tennessee, the home of the acting ex
ecutive. President Johnson say the States
shall not be interfered with in their right to j
declare who shall receive the elective fran
chiseRepublicans openly attempt to rile
over, not only the desire ami d.reclion of
Johnson, buj the positive provisions of th
Constitution, by passing resolution that in
the several States there shall be no distinc
tion made in the right and privileges of
persona on account of color. We ask who
land by their pledges? Democrats support
the President, notwithstanding they were
defeated while maintaining such declara
tions. Republicans go into Congress, and
proceed to gag the President by poer, and
are wnrkii.g to (orce him to abandon hi
plans of reconciliation. Who stand by their
pledges Let every voter, every cttizen,
ask himtplf this ques'ion and remember the
tnml of Republicans, practiced upon the
people in pn'iucal campaigns.

dence between an an and man; corrupt th
honor and faith and truth and honesty of

that, onder his oath-bound obedience, which
his moral nature .abhors, after he eri iusly:
reflects on hi conduct. He cesses 10 be '.
responsible for his individually a a mem- j
ber of society, since that ' merged into the j
congregate character or his r-Iatiot.n to this

might be adopted without anti-American
features. A system could be suggested for
an association of citizens free Irom the oath
bound principle and exempted from censure
or objection by reason of its open organiza
tion, which would be most advantageous.
Let those who are determined to project the
Constitution and our system of government
unite in clubs for these objects. The ' Key

ganization. - Let there be clubs formed in
every county to meet aa occasion may re

to the House to propote an amendment
There have been, at least, a dozen - amend-'
rrents ofTered jn Congress, all having refer
ence to-the important question of color.
They are in suhstar.ee-as fallows:
Sumner's amendment That Representa
tives shall be apportioned according to' the
number of male cit zens of the age of twenty-one
y ears.'
' Scb'r.ick' amendment That Represents
rie shall be H;pointeJ accorJuig to 'the

race, in any national or state laws.
Stevens' amendment That Representa
tive ili ti I be apportioned secorJi-ii: to the
number of leal voters, and that none shkll
be considered legal voter except natural
born citizens or naturalized citizens.
Steven ' amendment To the ninth section
ot the firM .articU of the Conititulion, by
expunging the words ''no tsx or duty shall
be laid on articles exported from any State.
Stevens' ameodme nt That neither the
United States, nor any State, shall ever as
sume or pay any part of the Confederate
States debt.
Brownalls' amendment That Represen
tatives shall be apportioned according to the
number of electors.
Bingham's amendments 1st "Repealieg
the clause which lorbids the laying of tax
or duty on articles exported from any
stale." 2d "No part of the rebel
debt shall be asftonted or paid by the Untied
Slates, or any State in the I nion." 3d
"Congress shall have power to securti all
persons in every state equal protection of
life, liberty and property."
Farnsworth's amendment That no lav,
duty or import thai! be laid, or appropria
tion of money be made by ihe United States
or any ft ate lor the purposed paying; the
Confederate States debt, or any part therof.
We consider this a pretty fair. representa
tion of Republican legislation. It wi!l be
difficult for many persons to cuderstand
wherein there ia a difference in several of
the.e proposed amendments, and it will be
1 much mor9 difficult for any one to find any
where among the whole mess a grain of
sense. Bat we suppose there are a few Re
publicans who will be in favor of Ihe pass
age and adaption of the entire mass. Ot
coarse their adoption would be of incalcnla
bis worth in the work of restoration. Just
think what a prosperous and happy people
we would be. The nigger would be count
ed every where, in apportioning representa
tion, in voting, and, as it would be unlaw
ful to make any "distinction on account ol
race or color," he would of course be found
in the association of white folks, at parties,
ball ami picnic, and in the parlor taking a
social and private chat with the ladie, after
the old folks have gone to bed. Surely 'ii
a consummation devoutly to be wished."

I had to close up my place of business, not
on account of President Johnson' procla
tion, becaose (bey say in Congress that we
stilt belong to the so-called Confederate
Stales, but because the Mayor of the city
commanded all law-abiding citizens lo do
so, and, not having anything else to do,
walked around to the Mansion House, talk
ed there awhile about the lat cock-fight,
the accommodations at the watch house,
etc., and then went home, when I looked
over ScottV autobiography the most purile
and vain glorious production I ever picked
up, and Collin', "Cmi you forgive him?''
and though I've only read the book half
through, I don't think I can.
And o Ihe day was spent by me. A few
only of the churches were open, and these
few were but thinly attended. The feature
of the day was the funeral of George T.

Infantry, Corns' Brigade, who was killed in
the battle of Frazier's Farm, and whose re
mains' reached this city on Wednesday.
Nearly everybody in town of any account
went to that, though they, nor I, didn't go
to church to render thanks. The lact is I
haven't had anything to give thanks for since
the 21st of July, 1661, and while I was a
praying then, somebody stole my horse. I
ai.t't thankful for getting whaled, nor for
having everything I had in the world de
stroyed ; nor lor having to pay Murray
eighty dollars for a suit of clothes that used
to com forty dollars; nor for having to pay
for a stamp, which I don't want, on every
thing 1 buy; nor for the freedmen's bureau,
where.a negro is be. ter than a white man;
nor lor having negro soldiers to brush
itgainst me in the s'reet, when I know they
vrvte put on duty here jost io "irritate white
people. 1 ain't thankful for any of these
things, nor is any body el-e ; and epcially
ain't I thankful for being taxed lo defray the

The prevailing opinion in, that the country
is going to destruction, and nearly all agree
with Gov. Wise in thinking that the quicker
it goes there the better. When everything
is bors'ed up, those that remain alive can
possibly pick up from the wreck enough to
start a new gotefnmeni, which, it is hoped,
Irom the experience ol what has just pass
ed, may e.-cape the breakers upon which
this one was ruined. When the . war ter
minated, the North had it in their power to
make the people cf the South as loyal as
themselves, but (ha time has passed and
gone never lo return, and Montesquieu's
idea, as expanded by Louis Napoleon, that
great effects are not produced by minor
causes, ih again verified. The end of gov

but our ruler doa't seem to think so.

One of the mot pitiful sights to be wit

effort to cursy favor with the leading lienub

peace manifesto. They look upon him with
even greater indifference anJ neglec; than
they do on the Southern Congressmen elect.
-x..
Look upon Greeley with indifference?
Why he should receive nothing but stern
condemnation, from every person who loves
the peace and security of ihe nation. He is
the vilest traitor in the whole land. He first
incited, as much as was in his power, the
rebellion of the Southern people, by telling
them that secession wa proper and could
not be met ty force; and insulted the honor
of the nation by declaring her flag "a flaunt
ing lie." His body should not be allowed
to disgrace ihe city ol Washington, by re
maining there.
