Itypanne, N. Y., March 20, '07..
My Dear Sir * * I long for a heart
union between the North and the South.
T fully believe it to be practicable. But
the corner-stone of I his. heart-union is not
(an the Republican party is too much in
clined to believe) power to enforce it; It
cannot be enforced. 4. common repent

alone, can be this cornisratonei. But von
will say that the heart of the South is too
wicked to come into this common rerient
ance. I admit. it. Nevertheless. because .
she is human she is capable of having a'
new and better heart. How can she be
made to experience a change? I answer,
by no power so influential-as the example
of our own changed heart. Let her see
us acknowledging ourselves to have been
on kvery little, if any, higher moral and
religious level than was her own ; let her
see us honestly and openly taking to our
selves large blame for slavery and the sla
very begotten war, and therefore ceasing
from our innocent railings at her; aboite
all, let her see us pitying her for that cleep
and distressful poverty to which The war—
the war of her and our common responsi
bility—has reduced her; and the magnet
of our repentance will quickly _draw tiftar
it her own repentance. Were the North
and South hit, this sisterly embrace, there
would no longer be any, doubter, at home
or abroad, who would question the per
manency of our nation ; and no one of
even her most timid creditors would any
longer fear that his debt would not be

see Sonthtirn leaders
whom Congress:has just now disfranchised,
relieved of, this disfranchisement, and al
lowed to iota and take part in the gov-.
ernment their respective States and of
the nation ? I would; Now that suffrage
is accorded to the Southern negro, I
would. • Now, that all the negroes can
vote, it is safe to let all the whites vote.
I refer not here to the great numbers
there will be at the polls to hold in check
such whites as might be disposed 'to be
oppressive. I mean also, that between
negro voting; on the one hand. anti our
to be fraternal and generous spirit, on the'
other, such whites would be between in
fluences that would fast take from them
all remaining disposition to wrong either
their white or black brethren. At the
time the South laid down her arms, I felt
that the safety of the nation required. at
least, a temporary disfranchisement of all .
who bad made war upon her. But I soon
changed rny g nsind on this point, and be
lieved only a few of them should be dis
franchised. Not long after, I believed
that none should be—that is, if the politi
cal equality of the negro were acknowl
edged—an acknowledgment which I al
ways held should be a sine qua non in the
settlement between the -North and South.
Just here let me - say that I go, as ',see
yrtu do not, for the spirit and substance of
Horace G reeley's unpopular motto, "Uni
versal suffrage and universal amnesty."
I say for the spirit and substance, since I
would substitute "no punishment" for
the "universal atnnesty,"helieving as I do
with the pre eminent publicists of Christ
endom, that treason is not to be charged
in such sa war . as this, sod therefore that
the conquered stand is no need of am
nesty,
One reason why I would not have the'
Southern leaders disfranchised is, that the
Southern people, inclnaing, quite likely,
no very small share of the blacks, will be
thereby dissatisfied—ay, and so deeply
dissatisfied, and be so full both of indig
nation and pity, as to let the disfranchised
exert indirectly an amount of influence
tar greater than they could have exerted
directly. The relations between leader
and follower at the South differs widely-
from that relation at the North. •The
Northern masses having more intelligence
and individuality than the Southern, are
not so closely bound to their leaders. But
the Southern masses. not easily reconciled
to the dishonoring of their leaders, would
never be at peace with the policy which
disfranchises their leaders.
Would I have -confiscation? At first I
thought that the confiscation of the large
landed estates of the South. for distribu.
- -
tion amongst her white and black poor
would be a wise as well as a benevolent
measure. But very soon I ceased to think
so. Her white poor do ,not call for this
confiscation and distribution ; and her
blacks, with their habit of labor and great
power for labor, and with their • rapidly
advancing education to direct their labor,
and above all; with the ballot to protect
its fruits will soon have acquired no moon
siderablwshare of the whole wealth of the
Sout.b. t , Again, as this is a war in which
both' parties were guilty, and, therefore,
neither entitled to indemnity for the pass,
therftlemains no justifiable call for con
fiscation.
* Peace without!

RIL 11, 1867.-
Under the Violets.
A Sensible Lotter
BENIN WHITMAN, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR:
the highest authorities, we have no right
to punish any merely for being engaged in
it. If. from 'the millions of the South. Jef
ferson Davis is picked out (and for no
other offence than what is common to
theni all) to be the target and victim of
Northern vengeance, then is the cruelty to
bim exceedingly great; and then, too, are
these-millions insulted and degraded by
being sunk below accountability. The
South will never be at peace with us Bo
hong as she believes that Jefferson Davis
is kept in prison for no other offence than
having been an enemy in war—in abort,
for no other than her own offends.
• Does the North feel that, in the contin
ued imprisonment of Mr. Davis or in some
no less significant way, she must maintain
.a monument more faithful to history—
more harmonious with the glaring fact
that the North as well as the South was
responsible for the war—confine along
with Mr. Davis some representative of the
guilty North—say some old pro•slavery
Democrat, like General Butler or Thomas
H. Seymour ? -
Even, yet, I ace no sure prospect of peace
for our- exceedingly guilty land. The
North and the South are still at enmity
with each other. Each still easta all the
blame of the war upon the•- other. Each
still regards itself as the saint and the other
as the sinner—whereas; each should' Teel
.that she can well afford to - forgave the
othet4f the other will but forgive her.
We cannot reach a true peace until we
become friends. A truce may be patched
up between enemies. Bat it is only be
lween friends that there can - be a true,
solid, and., enduring peace. Let us be
friends, that we may be blessed with such
a peace.
With great' regard, your friend.

`• The Impending Epoch."
The above le, the title of a Spiritual pa
per, recently started at Atlanta, Georgia,
the first numbers of which_ have just
reached us. - In one of them we find sev
eral communication, from the spirit of
Lincoln, delivered through a female me
dium in Texas. We make the following
extract so that it may be seen how the
"Illinois saint" talks, now that he has
shuffled off his mortal coil. .He says :
"Woe! woe to the departed spirit who
enters here amid the follies of war! Woe
is mine that I was ushered into eternity
amid the conflicts of a strife so bloody
"My accusers! ah, my accusers! Their
faces rise before me- like the ghosts of
Patidemonia! The slain upon every bat
tle-field rise up in mockery to my happy
hopes, and thus I am compelled to live
for a season—the destroyer of peace and
Trosperity, of human affection and happy
association—face to face with the sorely
injured. lam not taking too much blame
to myself when I thus speak, for I was
elected as the representative of a great
nation,
iind as anchilhould have been gui
ded b y wisdom—that wisdom which is
pure and peaceable and injureth no man,
but fired with ambition and national su
premacy, I was blinded to all her better
influences. In vain I now try to feel I
acted to the best of my ability, but con
ccience, with its 'still small voice,' un
ceasingly whispers 'it is false.'"
We shall certainly begin to believe in
spiritualism if it can evolve such remarka
bly correct utterances as the above. We
fear, however, that Northern and South
ern mediums will clash in the reports they
give of the spirit of•Lincole.
HASEISnURG CORAIIPTiOn.—The
cielphia Telegraph (Republican) is consid
ering the question "how to purify the cor•
ruption at,Efarrisburg." It starts out with
the following statement of the case :
"If any of our readers have had:occasion
to visit Harrisburg during a session of the
Legislature, they will well remember the
tnysterious beckoniogs into corners, the
whispered questions as to what he wants
'put through.' andl the assurance that it
osn be done if he will only make it all
right. If there is anything calculated to
disgust our honest, men with elective gov
ernment, it_ is a -vieit to that centre of
small corruption, tend an interview with
the jobbers and lobbyists who throng the
halls of legislation. There is no use of
pretending virtuous indignation, nor yet
of shutting our eyes against that which,
however much to be regretted, exists,—
What we now need is a remedy, and a
remedy which will be effective and perma
nent is a di ffi cult matter to secure. " -
The Telegraph thinks a remedy may be
found by increasing the number of mem
bers of the Legislature, thus making the
cureless of a majority too expensive to
be extensively practiced. This is practical,
certainly !

The lower the office the more insolent

Secretaries; while the Secretaries are more
accessible than the clerks. The moat ipso

the more he runs away with the idea that
being "sassy" is being dignified.

the north aide of trees with red chalk be•

to have the tree put in the ground with
its north side to the north in itansfural

Ignoring this law of nature hone cause of
so many transplanted trees dying. If the

heat of the sun is too great for that side

Tsui Komr.—The Koran, or the Atka
ran, as it is sometimes called, is the hfo
hammedan Bible—book of faith. It is so
styled because, as it is so supposed,
it is a book, of all others, the
most worths
_of being read ; for in the
Arabic tong& the word Koran signifies
the reading, or that which is fo be perus
ed.- It is divided, like our bible, into
many chapters. of a variety of titles and
lengths. It was written in Arabic by Mo
hammed himself. The parts were collect
ed by Mohammed's father-in-law. and pub
lished in one volume. The Mohamme
dans say that it was dictated by the Angel
Gabriel, and written on parchment made
of the skin of the ram sacrificed by Abra
ham on the mount. ,

Qreassitsa....-If any thing in the world

is, unquestionably, a quarrel. No*to
ever fails to think less of himself after it
than before. It degrades him in the eyes
of others, and what is worse, blunts his
sensibilities on the one hand, and increas
es the power of passionate irritability on
the other. The truth is, the more peace
ably and quietly we get on, the better for
•our neighbors. •In nine Cases out of ten
the better course - is, if a man cheats you
cease to deal with him; if be is "abusive,
quit his company ; and if he slanders you,
take care to live so that nobody will be

he misuses you.. the wisest way is to let
him alone for there is nothing better then
this.cool, calm end quiet way of dealing

Lowav's liviscn.-The speech of Relator
Lowry, published in last week's issue, has ex
cited wider attention than any other made in
the Legislature this winter. The witty Har.
riaburg correspondent, Horace, of the Chant
bersh nrg Repository, thus refers to the char.
acter of the document and the manner of its
delivery :
"The Sunday travel question came to grief
in the Senate on Wednesday last by a vote of
14 to 12, and the question rests for the ses
sion ; but next year it will come again. and it
proinisez to keep coaling until it effects the
repeal of at least one of the ten command?
meats. Senator Lowry preached Its funeral
sermon, and , conducted the ceremonies in dis
posing of the corpse. He d,id itowilit no mock
modesty or affectation of subdued emotion.
On the contrary, it reminded-me of a run..ff
with a hearse. Lowry drove like a very Jehu,
and John Gilpin's famous ride wasn't • air
enmetz.nce to the merry dance he led the
mourners to the last officea ot l affection about
the rave. He spoke an lions. aa4 grated
down a huge - shirt collar, entily starched and
put on immaculate for the occasion; limber s
to the consistency of a twisted dishcloth his
five yards of% stiffened and spotless cambric
that eneiroted.his neck, and made his malfalf
iosin, ruffled shirt bottom droop like eo many
blasted morning glories, by the perspiration
he wasted to entomb the Sunday care. His
epee* was a cross between an Arkansas tie*
tooth-pick, with fifteen inches of pure Damas
cus blade, and a Puritan vender of wooden
not-mega ready to hang puss for helping her
self to a mouse on Sunday. Us Ong into
the whole caravan of city cars - a. volume_of
sulphurdus smoke, and hunted his Satanic. do
minions in vain fore place hot enough for the
leaders In the scheme to allow the people to
vote for or against Sunday travel. He bouts
that he has no. newspaper nrganet at home,
and claims • that every church steeple, every
Sunday-school, and every circle where the
commandments are taught, are his organs,
and to them he looks for vindication. Bully
for Lowry r
The only reply Nought to be made to the
speech was - that of Senator lileCendless, of
- Philadelphia, who • contented himself with.
quoting the following from Shaspeare
"An evil soul prodneing holy wit
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek—
kgoodly apple rotten at the core."
