CtjTKv. Henry Ward Beccher, in n
recent litter, which wc shall give in
lull next week, takes a position which
deserves tho careful consideration ot ev
ery innn who has the wtlliro of tho
freedmcn nt heart. Mr. Beccher iias
devoted his life to tho anti-slavery cause,
and has ever becu a shining light
among Republicans. To that portion
of them who are honest in their anxiety
to have the negro protected from vio.
lence, and do not use him only as a hob.
by, this letter affords food for reflection.
lie contends that immediate restoration
of the Southern States brings with it
law and order, and is demanded by the
interests of the freedmcn. Thnt exclu
sion from representation necessarily and
naturally produces irritation, discontent
and disquiet, which exhibits itself in
riots and in tho cruel and lawless acts of
violent men. That tho existence of the
negro clement among them being the
apparent cause of their exclusion from
participation in the government, upon
this clement falls tho weight of these
disorders. Wc give his own words :
2. It is f-mrcd, with mure reason, that
the restoration of the South to her full
indcpcndecc will be doterimental to tho
freedmcn. The sooner wo dismiss from
our minds the idea that t lie freedmcn
can be classified, and sepei-atcd from the
white population , and nursed and do.
frniti'd by themselves, the better it will
le lor them and us. Tho negro is part
and parcel of Southern society. He
cannot be prosperous while it is unpros.
pered. Its evils will rt bound upon
him. Its happiness ami rcinvigoration
cannot be kept from 1. is participation
The restoration of tho South to amicable
relations with the Norlh, the rcorganiza.
tion of its industry, the rcinspiration of
enterprise and thrift, will all redound to
the Irccdnien s bcnelit. iSothintr is so
dangerous, to tho fruedmcn as an unset
tied state of society in tho South. On
him comes all the spite, and anger, and
caprice, and revenge, lie will be made
the scapegoat of lawless and heartless
men. Unless wo turn tho Government
iuto a vast military machine, there can
not be armies enough to protect the
freedinen while Southern society remain
insurrectionary. If Southern society is
calmed, settled, and occupied and sooth
ed with new nopes and prosperous in
dustries, no armies will be needed. Ri
ots will subside, lawless hangers on will
be driven off or better governed, and a
way will be gradually opened up to the
freedman, though educated and a way
will be gradually opened up to the freed
man, through education . and industry,
to full citizenship, with all its honors
and duties.

To the Citizens of Girard and

Your letter, proposing to run mo for

be inscusible to the commonest impulses
of humanity were I not filled with tho
warmest sentimcntof gratitude for the
fnuti'llv expressions and personal ro,
gaid that your letter contains, signed a9
it is by Republicans and Democrats,
whom I know to bo staunch supporters
of the Government, and many who have
risked their lives for tho preservation
of the Union. Such distinguished con
sideration overcomes every natural ob
jectioti I may have for political honors,
consequently I do accept of your kind
invitutioo to allow my name to bo used,
out with tne understanding that l am
not to bo tho standard-bearer of cither
political party (Republicans or Demo
crats) but if nominated it must be by a
People's Convention, as I belong to the
people. They are my friends and pa.
irons, and in justice to them, composed
as they aro of all shades of political
opiuions, I must continue to live in their
esteem, and labor to promoto their hap.
piucss and interests which has been the
height of my ambition fur twenty. five
