The most of our readers are acquainted with
the object of the Christian and Sanitary Conn

complished by giving relief to our sick and
wounded soldiers cannot be known until that
day when all secrets shall be revealed. This
work, however, 10 almost accomplished. A
short time hence and our disabled patriots will
be discharged and sent home.
But another Commission called the Af'eri'

worthy has recently sprung into existence.
The chief Office is in the city of New York
with branch offices and dcputs at different p!a-

to render aid to ioyal men who have lost their
stock and farming implements, the Commits
sion proposes to supply ut once and wait for

are unable to pay, furnish them grataitcusly.
1t will furnish horses, all kinds Charming inn
PIGMENTS, and everything necessary to enable
distressed farmers to go Oh with their work.

much on the principle Of the American Bible

Mr.. LINCOLN ON THE QUESTION OF NEGRO

item by the late President to Governor Hahn
of Louisiana, is of interest. referring as 1t

Hon. Michael Hahn: a =

ing fixed your name in history as the first free
State Governor of Louisiana. Now you are
about to have a convention, which among
other thiags, will probably define the elective
franchise 1 barrel y suggest for your private
consideration, whether some of the colored

States' RIGHTS.

It is now apparent that the conqured Re
bells still throw themselves back upon the doc
trine of States Rights. contending that the
issue was between those who advocated the
supremacy of Federal power and those who
maintained State sovereignty, and that the
supressing of the Rebels is not the crushing
of treason but subduing the State Rights
party and that as the Rebels believed in
States Rights they were not guilty of treason
in making war against che Government, and
consequently should not be punished as tral-
tors.
Now, according to this hypothesis no man
would ever be punished for crime. 1t is very
easy for the highway robber to persuade him
self that the world owes him living, and that
he ca n catch up that living by waylayfng and
numbering his fellow men. 1t, at least, is
easy for such to say that they believe such
things There is disposition in the world
for men to accommodate their doctrine to their
practices; and each tries to persuade himself
and others that his practice, let It be what il
NAV. is in strict accordance with the principles
of right aLdjustice.
Now such men as jeff. Davis and Lee con-
tend that they appealed to the God of battles
TO decide the question of States sovereignty,
and that, as they honestly believed they were
right; no punishment should be visited upon
them for it. Their appeal to the God Of bat
ties has been decided against them. They
threw down the gage Of battle and lost-and
Of course we're wrong--and according to theiI
own hypothesis should be punished. You SET
that by their own logic they condemn them
selves.

The South Carolina Delegation.

A delegation Of ten gentlemen from South
Carolina called upon the President on Satur-
day afternoon, by appointment, to ascertain
his views aud feelings in reference to recon-
struction, and to solicit the appointment of
Provisional Governor for tina State as pre-
llminary to the restoration of its practical re-
lations with the General Government Mr..
johnson made an extended reply, speaking
kindly, but plainly and firmly. In the course
of his remarks he reasserted his well known
views in regard to the non-disturbance of the
relations OF the States to the Government BY
the ordinances of Secession. " A State, SAID
he, " cannot 60 out of the Union and, there

Ideal with the question of restoration, and
Z" not reconstruction" In reference to the
existing status of Slavery, his language was
too plain to admit of mcconception. Slavery
set itself up to control the Government and
persisted in the attempt. One or the other
must triumph in struggle for mastery. The
perpetuity and strengthening of Slavery was
made the issue, and as institutions must be
subordinate to the Government under which
they exist, the institution in this case was
compelled to give way. The president had
not the power, even if he had the inclination,
to restore it. Not only was it true, however,
that slavery was gone as an institution, but
there was necessity for the distinct admls-
sion or recognition of the fact "Therc was
{. no hope" said Mr.. johnson, that the
"pcople of South Carolina could be admitted
90 into the Senate or the House of Represen-
tatives until they had afforded evidence by
their conduct of this truth" The friction
of the rebellion had rubbed Slavery out, but
the fact of its having been eftaced or expunged
must be declared by law. The people OF
South Carolina must hold convention and
amend their Constitution by abolshing Slave
nv and this must be done in good faith, and
the convention or Legislature must adopt the
proposed amendment to the Constitution Of
the United States which prohibits aud cx-
cludes Slavery everywhere. Mr.. Johnson
also remarked that the question as 20 whether
the black man shall be engrafted into the con-
stituency will be settled as we go alcng,--
While he acknowledged the right of each
State to judge of the depository of its own po'
litical power, be experienced grave apprehen-
