Iicau Press.
The Administration press iudorse the recon-
struction and abolition schemes proposed in the
message and proclamation of President LINCOLN.
We copy the following opinions of it from the
leading Republican press of New York city:
From the y. V Times
We believe that the closer il is examined the
more it will be discovered to be completely
adapted to the great end desired The public
mind after due reflection, we have not doubt,
will accept it another signal illustration of the
practical wisdom of the President.
From the Commercial Advertiser
The plan of the President is very simple He
saws to the rebels, we have desire to extcrmin-
ate you, or reduce you to tyrannical SWAY. En-
gage TO sustain the Constitution, the laws of Con
gress and the military measures of the Govern
ment against slavery, and You may return 10
Your equality of rights in the Union. Every
privilege is yours tomorrow, if YOU wish it; but
Liberty and Union now and forever are one and
inseparable.
From the Evening Post
Nothing, it must be admitted, could be more
magnanimous or enient toward the rebels they
have put themselves beyond the pale of the law
by their insanity their properties are arealy de-
clared contiscated and their lives are in jeopardy:
and if they continue coniumacious the whole OF
the beautiful region they inhabit will be nevi,a-
bly, oyerrun by our armies, their fields laid waste
their cities and towns desolated and their homes
pillagcd. But in this dire strait the Presilen,
offers them not only peace which shall save
them from the miseries of war, hut an honorable
pardon which shall eNdue them with all the at
tributes of the citizen.
From tue Sew York Tribunel
Here Is required no assumption of the univcr-
sal efficiency and irreyocabIe validity of those
acts and proclamations but simple agreement
TO respect and abide by them and each of them
until the same shall be inyalidated either by
Congress or the Supreme Court OF the United
States. How can any one who means TO be loyal
at all object to these eoRditionst Ninety OF
every hundred rebels NAV BE- restored 10 right
tomorrow without sacrificing or rclinauishine
any particle of their property while nine-tenths
of the residue are required to relinqui>h nothing
but their right 10 Cypress and sell their fellow
men. We believe Tennessee. Louisiana and
Arkansas NAV be recognized and restored TO the
Union on this basis at early day, and that the
residue will gradually follow.
Hcnceforth il can neither be truthfullv mol
plausibly said that those who have once been
rebels have no inducements 70 return To LOYALTY
no hope but in the triumph Of disunon. They
may come back tomorrow and enjoy every pc.
lirical or social privilege and advantage enioved
claimed by any of We protfer them
equality with ourselves Should not that suffice
and content Them
The country must now realize that naught but
slavery obstructS the way to peace and reunion
In no netaphoric or poetic sense. the Union and
liberty are hcnccforth inseparable They will
either rejoice in a common deliverance and tn
umph, or MI the same bloody grave
