We except the destruc tion ot slavery as one of the logical,inev itable results of the war; but how ttnd upon what terms is it abolished? Georgia demands Compensation for slaves; so does Louisiana, and so would all if they saerifi sed discretion to truth. It will be for Congress to determine whether slavery shall fall as a legitmate fruit of treason's war, or whether it shall be compensated and the Nation £ivs still millions more to compromise with its crowning crime. Who should determine this grave ques tion? The North whose valor fairly won the result? or thi South who made the war for slavery and lost it? The .South comes professing no surreu ilor of principle. It justified the war on tho plea ot State rights' and yields not its favorite (allicy in demanding ad mission. Shall this question remain, as Heretofore n stumbling block for honest men, and a stepping stone for future trait ors to inaugurate fresh discord and prob ably future war? It not, who should, and who must, adjust tin question for the safety of the Nation? Should the friends or the foes of the government devise the measure necessary to avert, war and pre serve the Nation's ife by peaceful means? It is confessedly wisdom to leave no im portant questions open t > lattitude of construction for present or future traitors, and who should judgo the remedy ? Those who in their richest blood and with boundless treasure maintained tho right? or those who deluged a continent in gore tc overthrow its authority ? Our debt is crushingjit weighs Heavily, upon millions who cheerfully incurred it for gov- j eminent and law ; but it is an acceptod j law of war that its uuthoi may be made to boar its fullest burden. Such I was the policy of ibis Government in the revolution as applied to traitors, and in the last war with Kngland ; such was tho policy of treason's government, which I relentlessly confiscate.l the property ol every loyal man North and South that it could reach, and such was the delib erate enactment of our own Congress.— In the Sooth every claim duo the North, and tho property of every loyal man was confiscated. Ileal estate may now be restored, l)ut who js to restore tlie millions of dollar? plundered from loyal citizens in the South which perished in ! its use ? Shall restitution to such he ! made from the property of those who in- j nvfgcraled the war.? Shall it he done i from 'uir common treasure, or shall it not be done at all? These inquiries arc yet to bo answered by the highest legisla power, and who shall decide them? Shall the men who made the war and the debt j and who were instrumental in the spoli- j ation of loyal citizens in the South, bo-i come "judges in Congress in the adjudica- j tionof these momcntus qucsti us ? Our Congress has solemnly enacted, as n pan- i ishmcnt for treason, that uo traitor shall j sit in our National legislature—that none j but such as can affirm that they hive not ! aided or abetted the lebcllion can bo qnal- I ified as members. The strict cnfor.cwent I of thi« law would exclude orery Soutli ern member elect. Should they be ad mitted in violation of the law and aid in the determination of the issu2 whether this penalty for treason should be revok ed ? If treason is thus to set in judg ment tipon treason, where will be the pen alty for crime ?—where the reward for virtue? Our organic law may prove to be defective—unequal to the preserva tion of our great. National .cenipaet; and to whom should bo entrusted tho respon sible duty of adjusting it to try s woes ?

As tlio Citizen took the trouble a few weeks since to publish a long speech delivered by this irrpressible American citizen of African descent, why does it not publish that from which tho above is an extract?— For goodness sake, Tom d'j not allow your communication man to reply to this.''" Tho above is from tho ITcraht fef last week. We don't think tho responsi bility of replyintj In this interrogatory very great. Wo did not publish the speech referred to ''firstly" because wo did not sec it We would suggest to our neigli boi that., a> we have given the gentleman referred to a hearing, in the publication of his former speech, which we consider ed a good oue, i,t is bin Uuv.i now; conic, neighbor ho gencrr-us. Just give as its caption, Douglass' last fpeech," and our word for it. your readers will vow it"the best speech the Little Giant ever made." Try it John. "Anollivr Sprculalljiiu." In the lie raid ol lust week is found an | article under the above caption, which, on perusal wo4nul to be a general bill of 'indictment against all the benevolent en terprises of the country, almost. It com mences by paying, "A, circular has been issued by certain patriotic gentlemen in Philadelphia, calling for assistance in es tablishing a School or College fur the ed ucation of the children of deceased sol diers, and it is couched in terms of most intence loyalty, designed to catch the j Amuses, k is tiiuo such Jiumtuig&erj should cease. Wo think this late at tempt to «)uecze more money out of the people, on the plea of patriotism, which it wore completely thread bare, is about as trifling a business as men could be well engaged in," Then follows a general charge of corruption and fraud, on the part of those benevolent citizens up "Sanitary Fairs", qf which out neigh- : bor says, they were "the most stupendu- ; ; ous frauds ever committed upon a too ered- , | ulous people." Not content with : . making a general charge he goes onto j specify "It was so in New York I'hila- : I didphia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati—.every ; j place where tbeso Fairs were held."— j ; Now when an editor undertakes thus I squarely to charge corruption upon those ' in whom the people have had entire con i fidcnce, it is to be expected that he knows j whereof he uffirms. The people ofJPitte- I burgh, for instance, have earned, during ; the war, the proud reputation of being , among the most patriotic and beuevoleui luf people. No soldier, during tha whole j struggle, whothcr white or black, who ! wore the uniform of the Union,was allow ed to pass through that city unnoticed' A cup of warm coffee and a roll of good bread with a variety of vegetables, was always ready for his nourishment. Not only so, but the Iwnevolence of Pitts burgh reached the suffering in both the Eastern and Western armies; thus allevi ating their suffqrings and, iu many in stances, saving precious life. It is against : this people that the Herald charges all j thus# thiiigf—for ho included the Pitts—' : burgh Fair with the rest. We have not I time to notice all bis specifications, but ! iu behalf of our benevolent neighbors we j call rip hiiu for the proof whereof he affirms.

It alleges that when these opportunities are pone, this class seek to eontinuo their villainy by procuring "Soldiers* homes, Orphan Asylums, Mon men!*, Ac." Anil windcs up by caution ing "the people against all such schemes.'' Many will inquire, "what iff the cause of all this burst of abuse ?" We can only account for it from tho fuet that thcelec tions all "went wrong" as a Copperhead would say. Up till tho 7th inst., tlicy still hepod to hold sway in "Noo Gersey" at least, but now that that hope is gone tho Editor of the Herald throw 1 ! off all restraint, and is himself again. Tlie l'rn>ldi>afs I'ollfj', In a former number of our paper we took occasion to invite the Editor of the Herald to explain on what grounds he, »s a democrat, could sustain the re-con- Atruction policy of President Johnson.— To our interrogatory he replies at great length in the Jterald of the 15th inst. This article seems to bo written upon the assumption that we were opposed to the President and his policy too. This is a great mistake. It is true, we may not see the wisdom of every movement of the Presideut, nor may wo have entire faith in his re-construction policy, ns it is call- | ed, being successful. Hut our object was j not to combat cither the policy in. general or any particular part of it. We belong to the party iti power. A\ T e have always believed that whatever was necessary to be done for the preservation of the unity ; of lite country was The j leading question with us was what I policy would best secure tho great, end in | view—the preservation of tho country ! and its free institutions. We never ad- | hcrcd to " State Sovereignty," U'e are ; not fanatical ou the «übje_ct of " Stiftc I Rights.'' Our object iu calling the atte.ii- | lion of tho Herald to tlrs matter was j simply to see how Ac, as a ''State's Right I Democrat" coul 1 sustain the arbitrary ! acts which the President is perpetrating upon tho rebel States. For acts not j half so arbitrary Lincoln was, by the I same authority, declared a tyrant. We | never believed the pretentions of the | Herald and its friends, in sustaining the President, sincere; nor do w.e uow believe ' them so. The reason assigned in this | article, for the arbitrary ruling of the j Executive has the merit of novelty at j least; hear it.."The freeing of the slaves, was an act. (so the President sta ted,} and so his adhorants proclaimed, of military necessity. If this wore true, | then it is the duty of President Jofcn- ! son to sea .that jt is faitMiilly carried out. j at to show that a permanent necessity I exists for its withdrawal." We bcliev* j it is admitted on all hands that, in time { of war, each bcligcrcnt can do whatever tends to weaken thevother, avoiding cru elty. An invading army may burn des troy, and confiscate whntevcr it can be longing to the enemy—so can a retreating anrjr. In the rebel states were found horses, mules, cottir., sugar and nog rocs, all used by a public enemy hi obtaining materials to carry on a long war. They were all confiscated. Hut as the nogrocs had—if not mind—at least a higher or der of instinct than the horses and mules; ! for the purpose therefore, of reaching ' him uiose effectually, a Proclamation e.f Emancipation was issued, declaring him henceforth and for ever free, in the locali ties mentioned. This was intended to weaken a p\rbUc ORowy. That .enemy, iu j a military point of tfew, don't note exist. What,right, then, has Any executive to follow the matter any farther? The status of theso persons would eccm to be a prop er subject for the courts, or tho Lcgisla- j ture of the respective states. Hut wc ' arc at a loss "to sco how a proclamation ! issued "by Mr. Lincoln, should juKe any ' legitimate influence upon Mr. Johnson's I re-construction policy, now that the war I is over. These persons are cither free or' not free. If free, they Deed not the amendment, and if slaves yet, certainly 1 no military necessity uow exists for their j liberation. Bntihete is another view of I the matter which our neither seems to have quite overlooked. The E-imneipa- ' tiou Proclamation, only affected '-persons" | and made no pretensions to affect the »«• ! stitution of slavery art all. To confiscate : all the horses found in an enemies conn- j try is good common sonse, but to decree ! that, iu addition to that, the people of i that country should ucver aftor own hor ses is quite a different matter. Slave* are one thing, and the institution of slavery J ,is quite another ! The proclamation ! of freedouT was a military measure in time of war. the constitutional amend ment is a political measure in time of peace,and ihere is no comparison betwe' 1 thcin whatever. Our neighbor will havo to ,find some other reason for the Presidents position, and will havo to fit*l h:s power somewhere olse than in milita ry necessity. Hut the President not only requires the adoption of this amendment., but aUo that they put a similar provision in their own constitution, and that they ! repudiate a portion of their state debt! ' Where does these pojjrerH come from. | i'or o-urscli, we ore free to say Ujat we j/are at all lines for f*t&d«o to all men, uld much prefer that the his- not havo to write, that adopted by compulsion on the part of the Executive, while the country was held under martial law, iu time of peace.— Hut we don't wish, to be understood to feci indifferent to tho fate of this amendment—far otherwiso. Wo hold that those states by their treason, forfeited their rights as states. Upon this princi ple Congress has been legislating for the country for the last four years, upon the same principle treaties have been ratified and tho presidential vote of 'O4, counted, leaving out tho votes of threo re-construc ted states. I'pon this principle tho constitutional amendment is already adopted, and wo have no hesitation in believing that so the highest Court in the nation would declare, wee it submitted for adjudication. Hut say some, what do yon think of Mr. Jo'mson ! is he go ing to play false? We have no such opinion. We believe his heart is all ; right lie is a trua patriot, and will ,we trust, modify his p>!iey, as the popular voice tenches him. In the mean time, it is the duty of the loyal Xortfc tg remind him. tha". his whole time should not be occupied in audiances with robed pardon seeders. l" But ler County. You have, by your votes, appointed us as guardians of an important interest be longing to Hutler county. As Trustees of the Hutler Academy, we arc anxious to per'ortn our duty faithfully, and to sub serve the best interests of the people.— But we find ourselves in charge of an old stone building in a dilapidated condition, entirely unGit. for school purposes. To prepare it for the purpose for which it was intended, would require a Jacge ex penditure of money, The property and funds of the Academy arc worlti from 82,500 to M,o®j; of this money and bonds being about $2,000. To attempt to keep up a High sehool in tho present building, while there is another Academy in thcplaco in a flour ishing condition ; would bo futile. And no sufficient compensation Could bo offer ed to a Teacher. To build a suitable honse wryjM absorb all our means, and Ki'eatc for tne county'a debt of two or three thousand Dollars. What then shall bo done ? We ask the citizens of the county what they would havo u* do. Several plans havo been suggested to the 1 ruslees, neither of which would probably be satisfactory to all the people of the county. 1. It is suggested that the money lie at interest till i.t accumulate to such a •fund as will crectf. a suitable buildi.ng.-~- This will take some 20 or -30 years. 2. It is suggested that the property be sold, and tiiat the proceeds, together with the funds on hand, bo equally divi ded among the common schxd* of tho county. This would give perhaps twenty dollars to each school. Would this car ry out tho wishes ol the original foun ders of the Academy ? &. It lias been suggested that, a farm be purchased with the money, on which to erect a building for Hie use of the poor of tho county. Would this be iu accor dance with the object for which Iho school was founded. 4. It has been suggested that the lot and money be banded over to tho Direc tors of the common schools of the boro. of Hutler; and the Legislature ftf Penn sylvania hav.e passed an Act authorizing l-lifc Trustees of the Academy to place them iu flic hands of tlie said Directors, if they think proper. The Trustees .ca,n do this. Would this be in accordance wiili the wishes of the people of the county ? ft. It has been suggested, as falling in with-the object of tho school, that it he eoiMicrtid.-rted with the Withcrspoon Insti tute in such a way ns to rclaiu unimpair ed all the rights and advantages of the county. The Witberspoon Institute is a High school established in Hutler by tho Pres bytery of Allegheny, and now in a flcur ishing condition. The property of that I school is supposed to be worth SO.OOt'J or 87,000,includingjlot, building.Philos#pU ical Aparatus, library, &c. The Presby tery uf Allegheny have consented to the union of the two schools, and to give up for that purpose the denominational or sietir'an instruction in the school, but retaining in the new institution a repre sentation eyual to that of tho .county, — The Academy would gain all the valua ble property belonging fo the Withcrspoon Institute, amounting .to more than the I .value of the property of the. Academy, and £ive up no principle,only yielding to the Presbytery of Allegheny the right ! of appointing half of the Hoard of Trus tees.
