FACTS AND FAILURES.

| When Black man has once been fairly ban
ished, it is clearly bit Of extreme insolence
for him once moro to thrust his company upon
u.s. But we do not suppose that Mr.
Lincoln has ever. pencil in hand, computed
the cost Of taking out Of the land between three
and four millions Of laborers. We presume that
| it is his principal notion that Blacks are ex-
tremcly troublesome inhabitants, and, to render
all serene, il ia only necessary to transport them
all TO some remote province, so that We may
never hear Of them again. This is an ancient
device OF dubious statesmanship--th repetition
of an old attempt to shirk responsibility by
ignoring duty and rcsorting to plausible subter-
| fuge. In every land there is a class, for one
reason or another, troublesome to Government
and society. Were ii otherwise, it is easy to
sec that oil government would be an impertinent
superiority. Now, if the regulation and protec-
ton 10y wise and liberal and equal legislation Of
different classes could be superseded by a mere
resort TO the summary extinction oil those
classes statecrat would be simplicity itself II
was in this way that the Inquisition literally
crushed out Professionalism in Spain. II was an
Enthusiastically diabolcal work but nobody can
say that it was not thoroughly done. The
presence Of any ignorant man, no matter OF
what particular tint he may be, is a misfortune
to civilized society, which would be proportion
ately more comfortable without him; but who
proposes for that reason to reverse the policy OF
Mr.. Cade, and to hang all those who cannot
read or write This would be indeed most
delicious world If there We're no troublesome
people in il, but then il would be this world no
longer-Something better perhaps, and perhaps
something worse, but not the respectable planet
which we now inhabt.
We must confess that the Copperhead is a
curious and most contradictory creature 20
contemplate. Being informed that the plan of
Colonzing the Freedmen is partial failure, he
bursts into q compliment rupture, and calculates
the stamford formula, told yon 30 !" with a
renewed relish. But what, pray, would the
man have Is he for the permanent and
eternal Slavery Of the Blacks You cannot /
get him to say 80. IL he for extending equal
privileges TO the Blacks Not he! Then Is he
for Colonization Why, he is especially de-
lighted when a small Colonization enterprise
promises not TO succeed very well. The truth

believe the Offices would be filled without any
