VIII the Press inform the public
what it considers are the rights gusrsn-
tied to traitors By the Constitution p
Union.
Answer: The right to be fairly tried,
and, if found guilty, punished or par
doned-Prsss
The above question was asked, after
reading sn assertion in the Press, that
Mr.. Lincoln ought to issue proclamation
announcing to rebels that if they would
return to their allegiance, they should be
restored to all their "righ's." We
wanted some further explanation, and
now have it; all President Lincoln has
to do, is to proclaim that he viii punish
all rebels; and they viii lay down their
arms at once, or within 30 days.
The Press said, in connection with the
subject, that if its editor were President,
he would issue such proclamation, and
then claim = seat in Heaven on the score
of good works. We thought at the time,
there were chances that the people had
made q great mistake in not selecting
this knight of the Faber No. 2, for chief
magistrate; but now we knol0, as superla-
lively as if there were not q shadow Of
q possibility of doubt" that the case Of
that gentleman is one of neglected genius

me Dam ofamneafv,

The President, in bis proclamation Of
Amnesty, assures the right Of suffrage, in
the recrg anization Of the Southern States,
to all who take and observe The oath pre-
scribed By il; Of this there can be no
question: language cannot be plsiner
than that used by the Executive, in treat
ing Of this subject. There are men who
desire to exercise the right of suffrage,
who protest against the taking Of that
OATH, because it implies they need par
don, when in reality they have been az
firm and inf inching friends Of the Union
as the President himself andmany there
are who declare they viii not place them
selves on level with repentant traitors,
even to obtain = voice in the selection Of
agents to administer the sfFsirs Of the re-
organized State governments.
Repentant rebels, especially those who
are experiencing great anxiety about vio-
lated constitutions, viii gladly witness
the humiliation or disfranchisement of
original Union men, and will doubtless
insist, 1t the various precincts, upon the
certificate required by the President, in
his proclamation, before allowing citizens
to cast their votes.
Il was this fact that induced Us, few
days since, to suggest that an additional
clause be inserted, by which those who
have never willingly aided in the rebel
lion, could have an opportunity 10 set
themselves right upon the record. We
are not prepared 70 say that there arc not
fifteen men in Middle Tennessee who
could make oath TO that effect, as a con-
temporary has asserted; such sweeping
charge is the result of a disordered in
tellect, or Of something of that sort, fer
we will not charge the editor Of that sheet
with malice; but suppose there were but
that smsll number, would il not be ss
unjust to them, as ifthey were thousand.
Thatpolitical economist, Mr.. M'ChOak-
umchild, once supposed his school was q
large city, and then put the question to
his diminutive pupils: Suppose only
twenty-five Of that number die every
year Of starvation, what do you say p
A little girl replied that it would be Just
as hard on any one Of the twenty-five, as
if be had q million of partners in mis-
cry; wheseupOn the gentleman in ques-
tion wss greatly shocked. Now we say
that If there be but fifteen Of the class
who never entered willingly into the re-
beIlion, The injustice done to each one, by
placing him in the same category with
repentant rebels, would be IS great IS if
a million of others were in similar
predicament.
While all who had taken either oath,
as we have suggested, would be voters,
yet none would beplaced in false posi-
ton. We believe that If influential
Union men in this, or any other South
ern State, were to call the Presidents st
tention to the matter, he would grant TO
original Union men the relief they de-
aira

Can no Longer Meet our Armies.
We have before us an article from the
Richmond Examiner, in which that
journal asserts that the period " has
passed for offensive military operations
on the part of the Southern armies be-
yond recovering the lost portions Of our
territory. The true policy is to risk
nothing. Oar means. of support have
been too far exhausted TO admit of
other than defensive tactics. It has be-
come with rs staple question of en-
durance. With the South the duration
of the war lie simply question Of 3 con-
tinued supply of food for the people and
The army. The South can hold out in
definitely. The Richmond Congress can
bring her to subjugation in six months
more by cOnscripting the present produc-
log classes and thrusting them into an
unclad and unfed army. The great work
is food and clothing. The first duty Of
the government is to prOvids these sup
plies, and If they are not provided ex-
cept by weakening the army, the alter
native must : adopted of resisting with
smaller armies, using the tactics Of Fabi-
us and the strategy of defence"
Some great character since tho days of
Pharaoh, we don't recollect his name,
warned she world, in very beautiful
language, which we cannot recall YER
batim, that his countrymen had ex-
perienced rather insuspicious tumble;
and if we rightly remember the tone of
the editorials which appeared two or
three years since in the Examiner, we can
hardly avoid arriving 81 the conclusion
that the fall Of the Confederstes has
exceeded that of the nation to which we
have referred. The rebel armies must
give up all hope Of invading the North I;
that is q great deal, when we remember
how Northern towns and cities were to
be desolated; but that is not al the
policy Of Fabius--ihat Of running away
must be adopted. The loyal soldiers
must be worried to death by long |
marches, and Intellectual pursuits. At
tempt different policy--put men enough /
in the field 70 fght-a and the country |
will be subjugated" in six months.
Well, as the rebel cOnscription will 90 on,
we presume the Examiner will prepare
to administer upon The effects Of the de-
ceased Confedsracy "six months after
date" II oOrOner's inquest is held,
the verdict Of the jury will doubtless
embrace this sentence Very little

Oar neighbOr, in the Union of yester-
day, recites q historical incident, show
ing that strong words indicate a weak
mind. He ought to know.-Press.
As the great objection the Press bss
to us is founded on the fact that we
don't use strong Language, We suppose
it attributes our particular knowledge Oh
this point, to the fact that We have been
reading its columns. II is right.
