MUSIC OF THE SOUL.
There's music, music everywhere,
Within the conch-shell's lip.
And in the sweet blue harebell, where
The bees and humbirds sip.
There's music in the bursting buds,
The sunny birds of spring.
When rising sap beneath the bark.
New life seems gathering,
And when the bending, waring grass
Sounds like the distant sea,
As gentle breeses o'er it pass,
Singing half noislessly ;
And in the bounding rivulet,
Which rushes down the hill,
As when it winds beneath the sod,
And mortals, think it still.
There's music in the wild wave's roar,
The mighty sounding deep.
And music when the storm is o'er.
And the ocean sinks to sleep.
Musis, sweet music, with the birds,
The happy living things ;
And sportive insects fluttering
Shake music from their wings.
There is musicunheard music,
In the falling of the snow;
Each silent thing in nature
Doth some sweet music know.
There's music, music everywhere.
Above, below, around ;
In earth, air, water, day and night,
Its heaven-born strains abound.
Beauty is music to the eye,
As love is to the heart;
Children ! is there no mugio for
Our holier better part?

xjr.A.a. oiti : a was so uiuctt liuurtss-

that I returned iiu mediate! v to mv rnnm
and wrote down such ot the points made as
l could-remember, and having pondered
them all the way home, am to-day, more
tnan ever, convinced that it corrected by
you and returned to me for either public or
private use, it will go tar to promote a good
understanding between you and our leading
men.
It will also unite the public mind in favor
oi your plan, so tar r.t least as you would
carrj' it out without modification.
l ou are aware that 1 do not associate
much with men in political life, but rather
with tho.se who, representing the advanced
moral sense of the country, earnestly labor
for the eood of our people, wit hout hope or
even desire for offi. e or other immediate re
ward. The latter class desire earnestly to
understand your plans, and, it possible,

whole .Northern people with couSdeuce in
your administration.
The report is meager and unsatisfactory,
but I think it conveys, for the. most part.
tne spirtt or our conversation, therefore, al
though the whole tenor of your words led
me to beheve it was not intended to be kept
private, I have retrained trom answering
the specific inquiries of anxiouj friends,
whom I met on my way home, let I might,
in some way, leave a wrong impressiou on
their minds. Truly your friend.
Geo. L. Stearns.
The President of the United States.
Washington, D. C. .Oct. 3 1 1 1 a.m.
l have just returned trom an interview
with I resident Johnson, in which he talked
for an hour on ths process of reconstruction
of rebel States. 11 is manner was as cordial,
and his conversation as free, as in 1863,
when I met him daily in Nashville.
Ills countenance is healthy, even more so
than wheu 1 hrst knew him.
1 remarked, that the people of the North
were anxious that the process ot reconstruc
tion should be thorough, and they wished to
support him in his arduous work, but their
ideas were confused by the conflicting re
ports constantly circulated and especially
by tne present position ot the .Democratic
Earty. It is industriously circulated in the
emocratic Clubs that he was goiug over to
them, lie laughingly replied: 3Jaior.
have you never known a man who tor many
years had differed from your views because
you were in advance of him, claim them as
his own when he came up to your stand
point?"
1 replied, 1 have often, lie said, feo have
and went on : "the Democratic party
nods its old position untenable, and is com
ing to ours ; it it has come up to our position
am glad ot it i ou and 1 need no prepa
ration tor this conversation : we can talk
freely on this subj'ect, for the thoughts are
familliar to us ; we can be perfectly frank
with each other." He then commenced
with saying that the States are in the Union,
which is whole an! indivisible.
Individuals tried to carry them out, but
did not succede, as a man may try to cut
;is throat and be prevented by the bystan
ders, and you cannot say he cut his throat
because he tried to do it
Individuals may commit treason, and be
punished, and a large number of individu
als may constitute a rebellion and be pun
ished as traitors. Some States tried to get
out of the Union, and we opposed it, honest
ly, because we believed it to be wrong, and
we have succeeded in putting down the re
bellion. The power of those persons who
made the attempt has been crushed, and
now we want to reconstruct the State Gov
ernments and have the power to do it The
State institutions are prostrated, laid out on
the ground, and they must be taken up and
adapted to the progress of events ; this can
not b don) in a moment We are making
very rapid progress, so rapid, I cannot
sometimes realize it ;it appears like a dream.
e must not be in too much of a hurry ;
it is better to let them reconstruct them
selves than to force them to it; for if they
go wrong, the power is in our hands and ore
can check them at any stage, to the end,
and oblige them to correct their errors ; we
must be patient with them. I did riot ex
pect to keep out all who were excluded
from the Amnesty, or even a large number
of them, but I intended they should sue for
pardon, and so realize the enormity of the
crime they had committed.
You could not have broached the subject
of equal suffrage at the North seven years
ago, and we must remember that the changes
at the South have been more rapid and
they have been obliged to accept more un
paiaiauie irutn man tne mortn has; we
must give them time to digest a part, for
we cannot expect such large affairs will be
comprehended and digested at once. We
must give them time to understand their
new position.
1 have nothing to conceal in these mat
ters, and have no desire or willingness to
take indirect courses to obtain what we want.
Our Government is a grand and lofty
structure; in searching tor its foundation
we find it rests on the broud basis of nnnn
t m a -
lar rignts. I he elective franchise is not

If I interfere with the vote of the Rebel
otates, to dictate that the negro shall vote.
I might do the same thing for my own pur
pons in Pennsylvania. Our only safety lies
in allowing each State to control the nclit
oi voting oy its own laws, ana we have the
1 u
power to control the liebel States it they
go wrong. It they rebel we have the army.
and control them bv it, and, if necessary, by
legislation also. It the General Govern
ment controls the right to vote in the States,
it may establish such rules as will restrict
the vote to a small number of persons, and
tlius create a central despotism.
My position here is different from what
it would be if 1 was in Tennessee.
Ihere I should try to introduce netrro snf-
iraf:e grauuaiiy. nrst those who have served
. -
in the army ; those who could read and
write,and perhapsa pronertvaualification for
others say $200 or S250.
It would not do to let the nesrocs have
universal suffrage now : it would breed a
war of races. .
There w; s a time in the Southern States
when the slaves of large owners looked
down upon non-slaveowtiers because they did
not own slaves; the larger number of slaves
their masters owned, the crouder thev were.
and this has produced hostility between the
mass of the whites and the negroes. The
outrages aro mostly from non-slaveholdm
whites against the negro, and from the ne
gro upon the non-slaveholding whites.
Ihe netrro will vote with the late master
whom he does not hate, rather than with
the non-s'aveholdinff white, whom he does
late. Universal suffrage would create a
nothcr war, not against us, but a war of
races.
Another thin?. This Government is the
fieeest and the best on the earth, and I feel
sure is destined to last ; but to secure this,
we must elevate and purify the ballet. I
for many years contended at the South that
Slavery was a political weakness, but others
said it was political strength ; they thought
we gained three-fifths representation by it,
1 contended that we lost two-fifths.
If we had no slaves, we should have had
twelve representatives more, according to
to the then ratio of representation. Con
gress apportions representation by S tates not
districts, and the State apportions by dis:
tricts.
Many years aoro, I moved in the Legisla
ture that the apportionment of Representa
tives to Congress, in lennessee, should be
by oxxaliSed voters.
The apportionment is now fixed until
le72 ; before that time we might change the
basis of representation from population to
qualified voters, iNorth as well as fcouth,
and in due course of time, the States, with
out regard to color, might extend the elec
tive franchis3 to ail who possessed certain
mental, moral, or such other quantisations.
as might be determined by an enlightened
public judgment

Of the Seven Union Snnn

Much praise is due to the press of the U-
nion party throughout the btate, for its pa-
inotic enorts in tne good work.
To the Secretaries of the State Cnt
Committee, Messrs. Ilamersly and Benedict,
me ujyai uiu-u oi irennsyivania are under
lasting obligations. Lpon them devolved
arduous and responsible duties. Many of
tneir laoors are not witnessed or ever known
to the public. I hey labored assiduously bv
aay ana oy nignt lor the successor the U
nion cause, to which they are both most de
votcdly attached.
.hvery member of the State Central Com-
mittee performed well his part, and co-operated
cheerfully and cordially with the chair
man in promoting the success of the Union
ticket, lo the chairman of the several
county committees it is conceded that much
of the credit of our triumph belongs. To
an tne true and laithlul men ot the State,
who so effectually discharced their dut.ies.
and made our triumph easy as well as over
whelming, our most earnest aiid hearty
inariKs are extcnuea.
The defeat of our opponents is thoronsrli
ana disastrous, lo them it was unexpected
1,- m ., , --
although well merited. Having opposed
the war so happily and so gloriously termi
nated, they changed their oolicv. nominntrvf
officers and assumed to be the especial friends
or tne soldiers, lhey were conadent and
and defiant. When we were silent, thay clam
orously and imperiously demanded ourviews.
H lien we spoke they charged that it was
"puerile invective." They told their fol-
owers that we were endeavoring to turn
their flanks," and called lu.tibyupcn them
to pierce our centre. Some of them retir
ed with both flanks turned and their centre
pierced. 1 he balance were made prisoners.
Last year thev assured their follswersthat
the election had been carried at the point of
the layonet; that the military rub had in
terfered with the freedom of the election.
and that our co mtry was fast verging to
wards a military despotism. That shallow
pretext cannot avail them now.
bunnortinsr soldiers, thev became the
champions of deserters and refugees from
the draft. To rally their desnoudin? and
disheartened forces thev proclaimed that
our President had become a convert to their
views. I hey well knew the opinions of
those who had elected him, and the princi
ples o. the platform upon which he stood.
Vet they would gladly have induced him to
abandon his friends and his principles in or
der that they might be restored to power.
The spirit of Slavery, Secession and State
sovereignty had assassinated one President
within the last six months, and was striving
to demoralize and steal another. Ihe ex
pen men t tailed ; the effort to make it has
been ternbiy rebuked by the people, and
the result is the complete demoralization
and overthrow of those who dared to mis
represent our Chief Magistrate in order to
promote the success of their sinking cause.
The oft-repeated and well-established trut h
of history has again been vindicated. No
man, in any country, can take sides against
his Government when engaged in war,
whether foreign or domestic and retain the
confidence and respect of his fellow citizens
after the termination of the war. Either
the party which antagonizes the Govern
ment must go down or the nation must per
ish. Our nation is too young to die. Those
who opposed our armies on the field of bat
tle have been defeated. The partv whose
leaders opposed the prosecution of our war
for national existence have been beaten at
the ballot-box. Our people have just riven
another of the hiirhest proofs ot the fact
that "man is capable of self-government "
The people at the ballot-box. havs dflar-
ed their adherence to the principles which
were made triumphant bv the skill and
braveiy of American officers, soldiers and
seamen amid the - storm of battle. Let all
good Union men continue to be faithful and
true to the cause of their country and all
will be well. The nation purified by the
fiery ordeal through which it has lately pas
sed, will start upon a new era of progress.
The enemies of free Government will
everywhere respect and fear our greatness
and power, and the down-trodden and op
pressed of every clime will seek and find an
assylum ia our midst. ' John Cessna,

The final reply of Mr. Adams, dated Sep
tember IS, is very serious in its tone. and ex-
Iiresses the opinion that the proposal of Earl
lussell will not be accepted bv the United
States. Mr. Adams in this last reply,again
calls ti e attention of the English Govern
ment to the fact that if its doctrines and
practices are allowed to become the rule, the
United States will not be the greatest lo
wers. The London papers which editorially
refer to the correspondence speak of the im
portance ot the international questions to be
settled in this dispute, but do not appear to
expect any serious complications between
the two counti ies to arise therefrom.
