THE RECONSTRUCTION PLAN.
It is frequently nssertoil by tho spe.
oiul otgatis of tlie AJministt ntion, anions
their ninny excuses for opposino; tlio
Congressional policy of roconslruclion,
that tlio sections ot the proposed const;
tiitiuiial ntneiiilnieiit wlpuli guarnnlcc
universal civil rights, nnd tlio'inviolnbili
ly ot tlio national debt, nnd which for
ever prohibit tlio aMsumption or ci ytnent
of obligation;) inclined for treasonable,
purposes, ns will ns tho pnymei.t of
claims of compensation lor emanci
pation ot i-laves, n ro unnecessary and
of littlo conseqiionco. In our judg
ment they nro of traiisceiidiintly more
conseipience than any muru provision
lo punish trai'ors by .excluding them
from ollh'o or from voting. In tho
foi iner case the suctions concern great
am! momentous political piiiicil'i In,
tho latter lliev o. ni'crii nn evil wliicli
lime must do in 'lo to cure than (my
otliiii' ngciny wilh which wo are ac-
qtiaintid.
Ot the vast importance of securing
civil rights to all our elisions impartially
ind without distinction, wo have already
said so much that wo do not now pro's
poso to repeat it, especial y ns t1 o op
ponents of tho Civil Highls bill have
abandoned ihoir cas j, uud seem to bu
willing to admit tho necessity of the
measure. Hut they do not say so in
distinct terms. . 'I hey merely leave the
fact to bo inferred from their course. At
tho same time they arlliilly urge that
the section of tlio proposed ntnendmont
which guarantees civil rights is a tacit
admission, that tho statute previously
enacted is unootibtitutional. 'flits sort
of argument, though very shallow, and
not apt to deceive any one, is constant
ly resorted to by tho opponents of tho
amendment, and has even been gravely
urged in Congress by men claiming to
bo statesmen. Th Civil Kights bill,
oyer which wo had such nn exoiting
contest, is an ordinary act of Congress,
enacted into a law, but rcpealablo nt any
time when a reactionary majority may
deem it proper to do so. It is perfectly
constitul ional i but if its provisions wero
contained in tho Constitution it would
not havo been necessary to pass tho bill,
nor indeed to enact any other of the
nupicrous constitutional laws with which
tho statute books are filled. The Con
stitution y not a code of laws. It is a
framework ot government, under which
the laws aro to bo mado. Tho amend,
mont now pending is in tho naturo of a
declaration of popular rights, and Con
gress is endowed with tho power to
pass laws for their enforcement. 15ut,
it is urged, this admits' that without the
amendment Congress had no right to
enact such a law. How sot Tho
power of Congress to pass that act like
its power to do vory many other things,
did not R-st upon any well known and
indisputable provisions, but was a de
duction from the spirit of the instrument,
nnd would bo so held by tho Supreme
Court. Most ot the powers granted by
tho Constitution are gonorally stated,
and this fact leaves the opening through
which the Btrict constructionists make all
their trouble. The faot that so high a
functionary as tho President shonld have
asserted the unconstitutionality' of the
Civil Rights bill in a grave oflioial mes
sage, although possessing no authority
0f law sinoe only the Suprome Court
can give decisions on such points is
yet good reason why ail such doubts
should be forever set ut rest by inserting
in tho Constitution itself a clear ami
unai'istakablo provision, irrepealablo by
congressional partisanship, which shnl'
bo tho palladium of civil rights.
Next as to the amendment relative lo
tho basis of representation, wo really do
not boo how any one can hold that to be
unimportant. Tho question of allowing
the conquered rebels to voto or hold of
fice boars no comparison to it in actual
importance. ' As things now stand, tour
millions of the population cf tho south
nro totally excluded from voting Theso
aro tho emancipated slaves. No one
has yet proposed to enfranchise them,
and tho national government scorns to
possess no power to do so. The whites
monopolize all the political power.
Tliey hold tho offices and do tho voting.
Of these whiles, tho loyal minority p
penrs to be helpless in the hands of tho
dominant rebel majority, Yet this lat
ter element is an actual minority ot the
southern population taken altogether -It
governs the south absolutely. It
usurps all tho power, and sends lo Con
gress a solid delegation of rebels.
Tho friends of tho President profess
to regard this as a trifle. Wo do not
Wo do not believe that tho rebel minoti
ty of the south has any right to repre
sent the whole south in Congress
When our forefathers wero framing tho
Constitution they took a similar view of
tho matter of southern representation.
They said emphatically that tho slave
holders had no right to represent the
whole body ot their slaves as well as
themselves, and therefore ihey deprived
the southern States of tlipi tsentation
in Congress ot two-littiis of tho whole
colored population. It is proposed that
wo should let this provision stand, now
that tlio slaves are free, and if no rebel
lion had occurred perhaps wo might
agree to tha1. Ihit tho spirit o1 thecoiw
quered rebels is such that wo are clear
as to the impropriety of entrusting them
with tlio representation of the loyal
blacks. If the latter had the power they
would send men to Congress z-'alou.-ly
loyal to the government, nnd not dis
posed to lionize rebels. As wo cannot
give them that power, wo nro bound not
to let them ho misrepresented by irai
tors. There is no concealment nbout tho
hostile spirit and rebellious purposes of
tlio men elected to Congress from tl c
south, and they aro stimulated and en
couragod in this by northern Democrats,
so that tho moment their delegations
shall bo admitted to Congress tho two
elements will work together to undo all
that has been so laboriously achieved by
tho peoplo of twenty five loyal States.
Tlio amendment now pending proposes
to restrict tho representation of tho
southern communities to tho whito popu
lation, as that is tho only element en
franchised, and we think it as nar to
exact justice us wo can now get. It is
supposed by soino that tho effect of this
amendment, if adopted, will be to in
duce tho conquered States to grant the
right of suffrage to tho colored popula
tion'. We are doubtful of that, as tho
rebels know very well that ns soon as
they do so they will bo left in tho nn
nonty by tho loyal whites and blacks
uniting together under tno Republican
Hag. But tho amendment will restrict
the power of vho rebels tor mischief, and
this is very impoitant. .
The determination of tho rebels to
demand the assumption of their war
debts by the national government audi
the payment ot compensation of t sieves
is now concealed, bocause tho rebellious
element feels tlio necessity of waiting
until safely admitted to Congress. But
tho fact that thej are bent on attaining
theso ends is well known, and tho north
orn Democrats aro prepared to back
them in so doing. We cannot trust
theso nion in mere professions. Wo
must establish 'fixed limits to their arro.,
gnnco. Wo must secure our tax payers
against any such outrageous burdons
Nor is it less the settled purpose of tho
rebels to repudiate our national war debt
unless their demands be aoceded to. It
is one of their standing sources of. dis
content at the south that they havo' to
pay tax to meet the interest on the debt
incurred to subjugate them. The mag
nitude of the interests at stake demand
that we should secure our creditors
against any possible Deraooratio and
rebel Congross hereafter,
As to the probability ot these amend
ments being i stifled by the requisite
number of States, wo see no reason to
doubt it. lhit we uro satisfied that no
conquered State should bo admitted to
representation in Congress until it (hall
have ratilied the amendment. That
Maryland, West, Virginia, Tennessee,
Arkansas and Missouri will ratify the
amendment, is not to bo doubted. Sena,
tor Johnson, of Maryland, Jays that
Louisiana will ratify at onco. If so,
tliero can bo no question as to tho rest
It they know that only by so doing can
they return to Congress, of course they
will ratify at onco. Wo presume, there
fore, that the troublo only awaits tho
tedious action of tho Senate, which is
kept back by a few obstnict!onists,.head

THE SOUTH AND THE REPUBLICANS.
Tho Hichtnond Whig Boetns to bo in
terested ni the fortunes ot tlio Kcpublii
can party. We do not feel surprised nt
it, tor tho said party has been for five
ycurs.past a power in tho land, and is
mightiest when nicst fiercely opposed,
The Whig, when restored to life by per.
mision ot tho government, commenced
operations at onco to demolish this great
orgautiou. It hated us all so much that
it could not even give our party its prop
er mime, but kept on constantly croaking
ahoul tlio Radicals. Ni.w, however, it
has i Mini out that wo are Republicans ;'
that our party is nut dtad, nor buried,
nor dying, nor sick, nor likely to be se
riously ail'iig i but is alive, robust, hard
at work, dung its allotted task, and
bound to get on though its enemies burst
with.rngo at the spectaclu.
The Whig is not uble to deny tho
great scrvicts of this party, but it claims
that the mission of the party is fulfilled.
Let us see about that It has achieved
two things which give it an immortal
record It has crushed out the might
lent rebellion known to human history,
and abo.ishrd a hideous system of b n
dago which was tho disgrace of Christen
doin. Is this a proof of the worthless
ness or of the value of the party? If
the-e deeds be prtusworlhy, there can be
no qiiesti..n that the party has been sub
jected to the severest of all possible tests,
and has come forth victorious. It is not
common when a general has gained a
battle to say to him that his mission is
fnllilled, nnd that ho must give place to
his less fortunate predecessor or his bea
ten adversary. Yet this is precisely
what tho Whig wishes tho Republicans
to do. It tells this triumphant party to
take off its laurels, to ignore its victories,
and to disband ils veteran forces.
Coining from a vanquished foe, this
request is mudest, to say tho least. We
need not tell the Whig that tho Repub
licans are in no haste lo act upon its
advice. There is only ono way in which
tho Republican party can ever bo super
seded, and that ono tho Whig is not
smart enoutch to see. It is not by order
ing it to transfer its baton to command
to disloyal hands, but by disbanding nil ;
oilier parties or factions, and nil joining
tho Republican party and sustaining
republican principles.. If tho southern
men do dot choose to do this they must
bhuuo their own folly for keeping them
out of tho rulmg power. ..
Their cakuilatio'n was tjiat by dragoon
ing the south again a9 of old, and unit
ing with tho northern Democrats, they
could together mako a majority ngainst
us, and so gnin possession ot tho nation
nl government onco moro; Knowing
what we do of tho naturo of things nt
the south, wo nro not disposed to submit
nny longer to havo every Repuhliean'ot
tho south subjected to a system of ter
rorism, wilh a view to crushing out tlio
party. It there is to be liberty ot tho
north, for tho rebel allies who seek to
carry out this scheme there must be
equal liberty at the south for tho Repub
licans who would voto with us to pre
vent it. So far from tho Ropublican
party having nothing more to do, it owes
to the gallant Union men of -the south to
insist upon this freedom for thorn and
full protootion in Iho exercise ot their
political rights. Hitherto there has been
no such liberty in any ot tho States
Thousands of citizens in every ono ot
these States would have, voted tor Lin
coin in 1800 had they only dared to do
so. .
Ever since the abolition of slavery
was accomplished, the organs of tho oop
perhe'ads and the conquered rebels have
kept on saying that tho Republican
party had finished its mission and should
disbaud. Yet during" the very porlod
consumed in this idle clamor, this great
party bad fought and won another splen".
did tr'uiup'n en the principle of equality
before the law ngaiusi which was arrayed
tho south and tho northern Democrats.
It is now engaged in another struggle
for impartial representation, against
which are arrayed tho same forces. At
the same liiqp it goes on contending for
tho permanenco of tho national credit,
ngain-t tho validity of obligations incur
red for rebel purposes, and ngainst re
warding traitors by preferment to high
daces.
Alloflheso issues the Whig would
very quietly dispose of by ignoring tho
great party which fights tor them. We
havo said that a party whoso record is so
illusti ions deserves perpetuation and con
fidence rather than repudiation and dis
trust. Theso fresh struggles for Invalu
able principles serve to confirm it. No
party of which our history bears record
has dono a tithe as much for tho glory,
the grandeur, the tame, the prosperity of
tho republic rs this ono. The question,
then, is, shall it give way to parties that
como to us with the delightful odors of
treason and slavery ? Shall tho nation
put away its faithful and trusty sen ant
and lake to its confidence the unfaithful
and treacherous T Xorlk Amer.
A STORY OF OUR LATE PRESIDENT.
Tho annexed, another ovidenco of the
kind heart of our l.ito President, Mr.
Lincoln, wo tako from tho 'indepen
dent :"
On tho Monday beforo his death,
when our lato beloved President was on
his return from Richmond, ho stopped
at City Point. Calling upon tho head
surgeon at that, place, Mr. Lincoln told
him that he wished lo visit all the hos
pitals under his charge, and shako hands
with every soldier. The surgeon asked
the lVesidei I it he knew what a task he
was undertaking, and told him that there
were then between five and six thousand
soldiers nt that place, and it would be
quite a tax upon his strength to visit all
the wards nnd shako hands with every
soldier. Air. Lincoln answered, with a
smile, that he "glided ho was equal to
tho tusk; at any rate ho wolild try,' and
go ns tar as ho could: ho should never
probably see the boys again, and he
wanted them to know thaf, ho appreciat
ed what'ihey hud done lor their coun
try" . .
Finding it useless to try to dissuado
him, tho surgeon began to mako his
rounds wilh tho President, who walked
from bed to bed, extending his hand to
all, saying a few words t.f sympathy to
some, making kind inquiries ot others,
and welcomed by all with tho heartiest
cordialiiy. As they passed along they
came to a ward iu wliicli lay a rebel,
who had been wounded und was a priso
nor. As tho tall liguro of tho kindly
visitor appeared in sight, ho was recog
nize by tho rebel soldier, who, raising
himself on his elbow in bed watched Mr.
Lincoln as ho a proaohed, and, extend-1
ing his hand, exclaimed, whilo tears ran
down his cheeks: "Mr. Lincoln, I have!
long wanted to seo you, to ak your for
giveness for ever raising my hand
ngainst the old flag." Mr. Lincoln was
moved to tears, lie heartily ' shook the
hand of the repntant rebel, and assured
him of his good will, and, with a few
words ot kind advice, passed on. After
some hours tho tour of tho various hos-.
pilals was mado, and Mr. Lincoln return
ed with tho surgeon to his oflico. They
hud scarcely entered, however when a
messenger came, saying that oho ward
had boon omitted, and "tho boys" wnnt
cd to seo Mr. Lincoln. Tlio surgeon
thoroughly tired, and knew Mr. Lincoln
must bo, tried to dissuado him from
going; but tho good man said he must
go back, ho would not knowingly miss
ono: "tho boys" would bo disappointed.
So he went with the messenger, accom
panied by tho surgoon.nc d shook hands
with tho gratified soldiers, and then re
turned again to tho oflico. Tho surgeon
expressed the fonr that Mr. Lincoln's
arm would bo lamed with so much hand
shaking, saying it must corjaiuly ncho.
Mr. Lincoln smiled and saying some
thing nbout his "stong muscles," stop
pod out at the open door, took up n very
large heavy axe.which lay thore.by a log
of wood, and chopped vigorously fi r a
few moments,, sending the ohlps flying
in all directions) and thon, pausing, he
cxteud his right arm to its full length
holding tho axe out horizontally, without
its even quivering as he hold it. Strong
men who looked on men accustomed
lo manual labors-could not hold the
same axe in that position for a moment.
Returning to tho offloo, he took a glass
ot ' lemonade, for he would take no
stronger beverage) and while he was
within, the chips ho had ohopped were
gathered up and safuly oared for by a
hospital steward, becatt-'e they wero "the
chips that Father Abraham chopped."
In a few hours more tho beloved Presi
dent was at home in Washington , in n
few days nioro ho had'pilssed away, and

H ii.il,,ih M.IUW1J ,Y.n III lllUUri!ltl,
Thk Lancaster Itepms has the follow
ing: Among tho returned soldiers in this
country, tliero aro soino good men and
bravo soldiers who, from old associations,
or by reason of promises of assistance, of
from other causes, think of voting for
Iliostor Clyiner. Theso men. aro not, it
is true, numerous, but there aro somo,
and we would save every soldier who
has stood in the front and won a good
name from oommiitingthis great mistake-
We want every soldier who thinks 1 1
voting tor Clyiner, or is asked to do so,
to consider for a momont what his doing
Clymur's record is clear and uumis
takable. Ho has beon always an enemy
to the soldier, when tho soldier was
fighting. Ho has opposed the soldier
and his interests on every point, in
every way. His record shows not a
single instance of opposition, but is con
sistent throughout all his career.
Did he not denounce the cause for
which you fought! Did he not load you
with offensive epithets, and speak in
coarse and disparaging terms of tho
prominent o Dicers ot tlio' Unicn army?
Did ho not, twice; deliberately voto in
tho SL-nato ot Pimnsjlvaniu against in
creasing your pay! Did ho not vole
against givingyou tho right to voto when
in the ficldf And did ho not vote to
disfranchise the sailors, too, for the same
reason, as it his antipathy to tho fighting
cilincns could not bo assuaged by voting
only once! Did he not vote against
giving you even a poor voto of thanks
for your gnlhut services? Did he not
vote against tendering the compliments
of tho commonwealth to General Grant
a id the Pennsylvania Union solJiers,
who fought at Chickamaiiga? Did ho
not voteagamst allowing Audrey John
son the use of the Somuo hall, because
ho was a military governor; and, as lie
said, consequently tho luminous tool ot
the tyrant Lincoln!
All tins ho has dono against you,
What has ho dono for you or our coun
try!1 Can any ono point to a single
word said, or a sollt iry act done for the
soldier during tho war by Ilii'ster Cly
iner? We challenge any oi.o to show
jilhcr.
Now, how can any true soldier vote
or work for Iliestcr Clyiner? How can
any man, who has seen a batlle, usk a
comrade to support a man who always
was their enemy, We can only conceive
of such a thing, on the principle of re
turning good for evil, which is not yet
incorporated in Pennsylvania politics.
else modern Democracy would continu
ally be doing evil that good might omna.
Soldiers who think of, voting for
Clyiner the Vujandigliaiii i f Pennsyl
vania wo ask you again to consider to.
think what k is you uro doing. Not for
Geary's sake, not for tho sake ot the
good old Commonwealth, but tor your
own sake Btop and reflect. Your vote
can hurt no one but yourself. The Issue
is already decided, and decided for free
doin, but you have a good character to
sustain. You have a record that ousrht
not to be blemished for yotf children's
sake and the' honor of the old army.
You cannot fight one way and voto
another and still eSpect to retain the
respect and love of the people.

It may not bo your fault that you be
long to tlio "ono idea party" that the

HONOR AND VIRTUE.
Honor is unstable and seldom the
samo, for she feeds upon opinion, and is
as fickle as her food. She builds a lofty
structure on the sandy foundation of the
esteem of all things most subjoot to
change. But virtue is uniform and
fixed, because sho looks for approbation
ouly from Him who is the samo yester
day, to-day and forever. In the storms
of life honor is pot to be depended on,
because sho herself partakes of the tu
mult i sho is also bufl'otod by the waves
and borno along by the whirlwind.
But virtue is above the storm and has
an anchor sure and steadfast, because it
is cast into heaven. But no man can
purchase his virtue too dear, for it is tha
only thing whoso value roust ever in
crease with the price it cost.
