.Y- We give space to-day TO an article
from valued and true-heartcd friend, signed
Nv" because we like his thoughts generally,
and because We know how much he has DONE
how many sacrifices he has made for the Truth
and the Right. But we feel quito confident
that he oyer-estimates the dangers of practi-
cal reconstruction, and we are quite sure his
fears Of a reconstructed slave-power, under
the Presidents amnesty proclamation, are en-
tirely groundless. No State will fall into the
Union line under the Presidents arrange
ment except as free State. This is the
entail of the Union citizens of the South.
