in town last Wednesday, looking
as hale and buovant as in davs ot
only would it be
'preservation, by a resort to legal
measures, but an insignificant mi-
nority of the people would have it
in their power at any time to check'
the wheels of government, or com-
pass its destruction, as might best
suit their caprice or inclination.—-
For instance, a disaffected or dis-
loyal majority of the people of a
small minority of the Stales,
might exclude those States from all
representation, cither by forcibly
preventing elections, or by choos-
ing men incapacitated by law from
holding tho offices to which they
might bo chosen. Tn either case
the States controlled by tho disaf-
fected or disloyal would be exclud-
ed from representation, and accord-
ing to the theory we are combat-
ing the government would be at
an end! How absurd! But wo do

constitution of the United States
expressly declares ('section 5,) that
" Kach House shall be the judge of
tho elections, returns and qualifica-
tions of its own members, diul o
majority of each shall constitute a
quorum toda husincw." It being
undeniable that the present con-
gress is composed of a majority ol'

tled, the conclusion is irresistible

consider it their duty to standby
the political fortunes of their lead-
ers, and iu no degree to be respon-
sible for their future exclusion from
power. Tho idea of ratifying tho
amendments re, therefore, peculiar-
ly repugnant, because implying
their direct participation in the in-
fliction of what to them appeal's
harshness, if not injustice. Oppo-
sition of this nature is not easily

peals to selfish considerations. It
originates in feeling, and where

The attitude of tho class directly
affected by tho provision has not,
thus far, been, such as to warrant
an expectation of speedy clitífígtf
in the Southern mind. So far as
we have observed, not a solitary
man who figured conspicuously in
the rebellion has publicly advocated
the ratification of the amendment.
We know that in their ordinary
intercourse not a few of them, af-
ter studying the manifestations of
public opinion at the North, admit j forced ?
that unless the South concur in the
amendment, restoration will bo in-
definitely postponed, a>vi may, per-
haps, be made' contingent upon
more unpalatable conditions. But
not one has declared his readiness
to submit to disabilities for the
sake of restoration—not one has
appealed to others similarly situ-
ated to endure the punishment that
peace may be secured—not one has
endeavored to mitigate the preju-
dice with which the provision is
regarded, or to urge the necessity
of averting great evils by patiently
submitting to lesser ones. Even
those fro in whose general course a
willingness to make sacrifices
might have been inferred, are si-
lent on the subject. Gen. FosftFsTy

Such an appeal doCs not proceed
on any ehiviiffou?! hypothesis. It
does not imply the possession of
superhuman virtues by the rebol
leaders. It simply presupposed
their possession of' common gen-
erosity, common justice, Ond, w<S
may add, common sense. For,
while we hold that, as a matter of
duty) the promotOl's of and chief
actors in t4'.e rebellion owe to tho
Southern people the sacrifice wo
have suugesfed, we believe that, as
a matter of prudence, they would
find it to their advantage". Noth-
ing would so quickly or^o Surely
mitigate the feeling of the North
toward them, and help to improve
