quote tho following:
History will declare that a milder
and more fielding cup of uieidcuted cie-
nients was : never presented to the lips
ol a rebellious community as a corruu-ti.-o
tor the body politic. It strikes at
tho root of the disease, and eradicates
tholirimo cnuso ot the moibid action.
ueoouruizni!' the toriuer political leaders
ot llio seceded Slates as the instigators
of the great national calamity ,it disquali
fies - them from again holding those
positions of trust which .wore the lover
ol their pol t eal power.;, it holds them
rcsponsiblo. lor, .that wily, diplomacy
winch, under seemingly palnolio mo
tives, disintegrated the great Democra
tic parly, for the purpose of securing the
election of the Chiuogo nominee- as the
inauguration of the Recession program
me, it brands mem with turn criminal
ligation . ot the duties . ot statesmen,
which' dismissed with a studied contemnt
tho hope So dearly cheiishod by South
ern patriots ot adjusting the questions ot
the day, through tho instrumentality of a
National Convention.
It commemorates by a coiititutibnal
punishment that wild nnd wicked ambi
tion, which held ad nothincdhe splendid
prestiL'o which our country held among
the iialioii.H ot the earth, as well as its
security to. liberty and .property, its uni,
voi'sal iirosuemy, its npeninfr mte'Ii
gance, itd purity, of morals and religion,
and its wonderful development! It esti
mates at its proper worth that empiri
cism which desolated tho South, bank
ruptod families who were surrounded by
cverylfiiiig'viUut wealth ' could bestow,
closed up our schools and churches for
years, killed so many hundreds 6: thous
uiids ot her sons by the Bword, consign
ed so many ot her fallrcrs nnd mothers
to a more bitter death., by ', grief, broke
the hearts of her wives and Bisters with
sorrow, demoralizing tho whole commu

cession leaders especially responsible for
lite two Inst dreadful years of that war
ol rebellion, when- not a hopo of success
ag'atust tho Government was honestly
eutj.taiiod by any man in his proper
senses; apd, during which nothing was
fimtihUi but'a postponement' of that day
of reckoning :uhicb had such terrors for

Vieksburg; that funeral march from
Chattanooga to Marietta, every step of
which planted a hundred graves.-' that
'fti nival ot suicide which Uood rioted in
from Pulaski to Nashville; that flood ot
"ore which Lee .'poured out trom the
Wilderness to his surrender; all so wan
ton, nnd so unavailing to a cnuso thai
was lost ut Donaldson, at bhiloh, and at

It was recently annoucei that Hon.
J. H, Koagan, ot Texas, late Postmais
terGonoral of tho Confederate J-states,
hud written in favor of negro Biillriigo.
Wo Iiud the document in the Palestine
(Texas) Ad vooato, of tho-24th occupy
ing over seven column- ot that paper.
It is addressed to Governor Throckmor
ton. , After considering at length the
Radical clause for negro enfranchise
ment, he says : ' . ;
Now it beoom.09 us to oo- ider wheth
er we cannot satisfy ma demand, and at
the same time avoid ibe loss of our own
rights and the dangers of universal tuf
trage.. I think this may be'done by
conjerring the elective franchise on those
of them who are j 0 iseeted of sufficient
inielligenoe to exercise it and by rnak-,
ing tho test whiuh shall secure this.stan
dard of intelligence apply to such of the
white race as should hereafter bu admit
ted to its exercise. For' a limitation
which would only affect the negroes, and
nllow whites ota less degree of of intel
ligence, according to tho standard ndop
ted, to vote, would do no good towards
securing tho the great ends we desire to
attain. -1 huvo uot doubted, since soon
after our overthrow, that wo had soonor
or later to decide between negro suffrage
iu this qualified form and universal ne
gro suffrage. Vnd I now tell you that
those who oppose negro suffrage, in this
qualified form, elect, liy this acVtoforoo
universal negro mffrago 011 the country i
and ought to bo, and will bo, held re
ponsiblo by our people for it when it
comes, and they ought no longer to be
allowed to shield themselves under pre
tondo.1 ignorance from the consequence
of such crimnal demngoguory And,: if
this plan,' or some equivalent one, - be
not adopted by our Legislatui'u, the day
is not far distant when the pooplo of this
State will hold then, responsible for hav
ing refused to 6ee and comprehend these
facts, and thereby forcing on this State
the disfranchisement of tho' whiles, as
well as universal suffrage, j .'.'

gentleman, tiding through a retired val
ley among the Greon Mountains, ap
proachod a house, in the front -door of
which stood a baby, which was shielded
from the dangers ot foroign travel py a
board placed across the bottom of tho
door-way, but whioh.on the other hand, ,
was exposod to danger at- home, as the
gentleman thought,' by reason of a huge
IfwOiinch mortising chisel, which tho
infant brandished about its molasses
daubed faco in a frightful manner. The
philanthropist alighted and, taking tho
child's fist in ono band and tho sharp
utensil in the other, explored the house
until hu found tho maternal ancestor.
'Madam,' said he1 'I thought it my duty
to stop and tell you that your little ohild
had got the chisel.' 'Oh, sir,' said ahe, 1
'I am over so much obliged to you. I .
knew something was the . matter with
the child and didn't know what it was.
