TuINK OF IT The editor of the
Newburyport Herald concludes an ar
tlcle on the reconstruction question, as
follows:
"Ihe fixing by Congress of uncon-
stitutional obligations upon these
States rs conditions for their return
the saying, what shall be their religion,
their politics, their social condition
land it is just as reasonable to treat of
one as the other)-will never be sug-
gested by any sane person favorable
to reconstruction Of the Union, and
will never be supported by any party
who looks to any other future than n
military despotism. If these States
can not received upon the simple Con-
stltution, VIC Sc no hope of reconstruc
ton; nor should we be surprised if
the loyal slave Statcs-kentucky and
Missouri-should look to new union.
which should include Tennessee, Ar
kansas and Louisiana. We should
then find the country in three pieces
instead of two-the free States con-
tending for negro equality the loyal
States adhcring to the Constitution /;
and the confederate States fighting
for slavery and independence"
The Herald has never been Demo-
cratic paper; it is Republicans; but it
is Tor the Constitution, the Union and
the Country. 1t is not too severe
when it characteristics those members
of Congress as being false to their
trusts, who vote to fix unconstitutional
Obligations on the States that propose
TO return to the Union. The sooner
thinking men begin TO think correctly
of thc course radicalism is running,
the better it will be for the country
