The time has come when the 'President
ought to tender to the misguided South
ftrll-perdon'and amnesty on the sole con
dition of submission to the Conatitution.
It Is in the nature of _ things that many
people in the South ifiust waver tinder the
repeated shook of think-coming military
disasters. Wise Christian . pastors, who
aim at the . conversion of sinners, watch
anxiously for the first symptoms 'of con
viction, and Instead •of hallooing their I
hearts by.preacbing too long the terrors
of the law, are careful to presentthe great
truth of pardtaningniercy, at the..moment
when the soul begins to feel that it is iota
and' undone. When . multitudes its the
South are despondent. is the - favorable
time for convincing them that the choice
is not between resistance and ruin, bat
..„
between further (hamsters and the proteo•
tioo of a paternal goverbment.
There ii► no time' for babbling idiotic
phrtuo , a about 'Miming terms to rebels
with arms in their hands. The sentiment
twit scouts such an offer is born of pas•
sion, not of patriotism, or statesmanship.

ERIE, PA, THURSDAY AFTER
in his great litho. an'ittidieldissiffiratisaw
were overruled by his patriotic aniiely k
recover the erring with the least possible
severity. Even after the oontueast of
tha insurgents in rejecting his first lifers
of pardon, he imposed eni them no harder
conditions at last than simple submission
to the laws. As he-said in his speech to
Cont-reds, (the custom of sending a mes
sage began afterwards, with Jefferson,) at
theopening of tho next session "Pardon,
too it-as tendered to them by the Govern
ment of the United States and that of
Pennsyliania, upon no oilier"; condition
than a satisfactory assurance of obedience
to the laws:" It was the custom, at that
time, for each house of . Congress to, pre
sent to the President., early in the session,-
an address in reply to hts speech. The
House address contained this, sentence:
"Your laudable and successful endeavors
to ronater Malty in executing the laws
conducive to their real energy, anti to
convert confusion into order, without the
effusion of blood, form a particular title to
the Cent:Menne and praise of your ccmstit
vents.". The Senate address, signixt by
Vice-President Adams, is equally careful'
to eulogize the lenity of the President. It
said: "In a situation so delicate and inn
portent, the lenient and persuasive mess-,
urea which you adopted merit and receive
our affectionate approbation."
5u.7,11 was ; the horror felt by our early
statesmen of shedding fraternal: blood,
even in discharge of the imperative duty
to put down armed and defiant insurrec
tion..
The next great precedent for the guid
ance of the administration in the p resent
conjuncture,is found in the 'course adopted
by President Jackson against the South
Carolina nullifiers. This has always, and
justly, been held up as a model of vigor ;
but it. was in complete accordance with
the example .set by-Washington. The
most striking parts of Jackson'slamous
proclamation on that subject consist of
paternal - exhortations to the people of
South Carolina. in which he addressed
theiu as fellow citizens of his native State,
and admonished them "in that paternal
language, and with thee paternal.feeling"
Which father would use to his children
whom he saw rushing' to certain ruin."
He made personal exertions, through his
friends in Congress, for the reduction of
the tariff of which South Carolina com•
plained. '•Many," say's Colonel Benton,
"thought that he (ight to 'relax in his
civil measures for allaying , discontent
while South' Carolina held the attitude of
armed'defiance to the United States.—
But he Where(' steadily to his purpose f"
and •ipromoted by all the means in his
power the success of the bills to reduce
the revenue." • •
The great measure of conciliation {the
Compromise Teriffyby which the diffi
cult§ was adjusted was the work of
Mr
"l;lay, a statesman never accused of lack of
zeal for the honor of the gotertimerit.
The same persons who would! have re
'strained the, magnanimity of__.'reeident.
Jackson were rebuked by Clay in these
eloquent terms: "The difference between
the friends and the foal of the Compro
mise is, that they would, in the enforcing
act, iend forth alone the flaming sword.
Wectroutd send out tat alio, but along
with it the olive branch as a messenger of
`peace. They cry out, the law! the law!
, the law ! Power ! power We,
too, reverence the laei and bow to the su
premacy of ill' oblipaions ; but 'Vie are in
favor of the lair executed with Fuildneas,
and of power tempered with mercy."
Base Minds 'ascribed the patriotic ardor of
Mr. Clay, in "advocating the Compreniise„
to ambition. "Yes," he • exclaimed, "t
have'ambiticU; but it. it the ambition of,
being the bumble instrument, in 'the
hands of Providence, to :reconcile a di
vided pcople once more to revive con
, cord and harmony in a distracted lenti—
-1 the pleasing ,ambitirin of contemplating
the glorious spectacle of a free, united,
prosperous, ind fraternal people l"
It is manifest from this recital that if
Mr. Lincoln's administration fails.to take
advantage 'of the present opportunity for
tendering an amnesty, it will not be from
seal for the honor of the government, but
from leek of itatesmanship, lack of.listri
otism, and of sincere wishes forthe early
restoration of the Union.—N. Y. World:

--The following illustration ` of .92e . ' won
derful effect of a "little itdry" . upon the
mind of Mr. Lincoln is worthy the dignity
of printing. I heard it related by.a mem
ber of Congress, whose words I shall give ;
them.• as nearly as I can remember the.
Last summer two : member.; of the I
Rouse, from Maine, 0.1111• d upon the Pres
ident to have a friend of thuir's, a colonel
in the army, promoted to it brigadierahip.
They entered the President's room, and
found his exoelleney irk a humor not the
most lively or agreeable. ' 'Something had
evidently gone wrong with him, and
was not at all pleased to receive the ciis•
tieguished visitors. Nerertheless ,he
rose to greet th - e — rn, took them by the
hand, told them to be seated, and 'asked
what ho could do for them. "We4alled.” -
said one of the honorables; "to have Col.
a gallant officer and a worthy man,
proMoted to a brigadier general."
The President crossed his legs, combed
his hair with his fingers, and replied as if
irritated, "Pd rather see 'you on any other
business than that. This brigadier busi
nessis getting to he a terrible t bore. Every
man wants to he promoted, 4nd the,fect ,
is, I can't comply with one request in a
hundred. I'm getting disgusted with such
applications." So the Cirreeetuen left
the subject drop for the present, and,
rather than make any abrupt departure,
which was .the first impulse one of them
remarked, "What is the news from I,Cen
tucky, Mr. bincoln ?" "Well, it's not ;fen ,
good," said the President. "The fact is,
there are three kinds of people in Ken
tucky—One..;is the unionists. good and
true, who will stand by the country , all
the time ; another is ,made up - of Seces
sionists, open add avowed rebels, who
don't pretend to he anythingP ehes, and
then there is a third, that wavers between
the two, and is sometimes on one side and
sometimes on the other."
"Tha,t rentitt(lB said one of the
listening Congresqmen,'"of an old worn
out preacher, who was going to retire from
the ministry. In preaching his valedic.
- ary sermon, he said that theie wiire three
kinds of people in his congregmio%\--good
people, who were sitre:te go r to ieaven ;
'bad people, who were 'quite ad ' lure go
_ i
'she other way, and a large + - number of
folks Who were too good to be damned,
and too bad to be saved , 1 • .
The President' smiled, rubbed bis
hands, and .requested the Congressman to
repeat that story again, which he did.—
He then pulled a card-and pencil out of
his pocket, and said, "Let me see—what
is the name of that man you wanted pro.
rooted?" The name and regiment of
the colonel were dull chronicled, and
next day a brigadier='s commission was
duly made out and lotwawdeak -
General Nifiellas.
During the spring and summer, some .
ardent frietids of General McClellan sent
oontrihutions money to the
,editor of
the New York Herald, to !he 'mount of
89.30.10, for the 'ptirchage of a sl, - irdto he
presented to t'ueir favorite meneral.` The
funds contributed were not Fll Irrient, for ,
she puryftsft ut :sortable sworl, and
portion of the money was returned to the
donors. The ; whole atlair was entirely
voluntary. and was riot carried on with
any concert of action. The genet `
'! was
.interrogated as to 'what i ahuuld he One
with the money reurtining on bawl, a,n d
he responded as follaws : _

Why not. *raid! Ah I you see
I hare reseone that &newer me well ;
Bat !her,' is my neighbor, young C.,
Why he stays no person eta tell:
8o hearty lead ragged and hears,
And little to do here, you know;
He hasn't s hottse nor a field. •
And there islet a reason to show.
'Tis true, he's a pretty young wife.
With a sweet little babe in her arms—
But shall man risk a nation's dear life
Beelines a frail woman bath charms
Ah l •if he comprehended our need,
Ria wife and his babe would be kissed,
He would tear their white arms from his neck,
And come promptly up and enlist. •
But I hare a farm and a house,
And cattle and sheep on the hills ;
Row esm 1 turn from,prolit audios&
And thttlf of a Nick nation's ills ?
What money I'd lose, 111 weit—
Whst chances for traffic and
Then thinlrbf the comforts of home,
And the camp and the carnage and slain
But there is young Truman Leloo, •
Whose mother is widowed and 01J,
And Ake has but little to do
Since their farm by the Sheriff was sold
If he should enlist sad get shot,
As many s man bee before,
Ms mother could come on the town,
Or ask alms at the wealthy man's door,.
'Tie shameful . such fellows as he
Mhould turn *deaf eat to the call—
That some should be slain by the fire
—Cannot he theta. of them all.
If I only stood in hie shcies,
With no fortune or kin to protect,
If I faltered to shoulder my gun,
I ought tObe ehet for neglect.
I am ready to cheer the old flag,
And tosit up my capin the air ;
So long se it costs not a cent.
the,Union I'm ready to swear.
Let the blood, of ths nation Sow ont
, Like-a river to vanquish the foe;
Let each father and brother turn out,
(But the decor says I can't go.).
