the 18th says The following extract, which has just
been published, is from the late President Lincoln's
letter to Gen. WadswOrth, who fell in the battle of
the Wilderness "You desire 10 know, in the event
OF our complete success in the field, and the same
being followed by q loyal and cheerful submission on
the part of the South, if universal amnesty should
not be accompanied with universal suffrage Now,
since you know my private views as to what terms
should be granted TO the South in the contingency
mentioned, l will here add, if our success should
thus be realized, and followed by such desired re-
suits, l cannot see if n universal amnesty is granted,
how. under the circumstances. We can avoid exacting
in return universal suffrage, or ut least suffrage on
the basis of intelligence and military service. How
to better the condition of the colored race has long
been a study which has attracted my serious and
careful attention. l am clear and decided as 10 what
course | shall pursue in the premises, regarding it as
a religious duty that the nation shall be guardian of
these people, who have so heroically INDICATED their
manhood on the battle field, where, in assisting to
save the Republic, they have demonstrated in blood
their right 10 the ballot, which is but a humane pro-
lection of the flag they have so fearlessly defended"

o The power of the Government, as shown in the late

tend sufficiently to give light even 10 London and
Paris. The Rio Grande is but n short distance in
comparison. | firmly belive, from my own knowl-
edge of the country and experience therein, that the
Emperor of the French will be glad to vacate Mexico,
If he is allowed time to do so with honor. We paid
some millions 10 get the country after capturing Its
Capital, and though it will not cost France less than
it cost us, every days delay will add to the expense,
without q chance Of compensation for, certain as
fate, the continued occupation Of that country by a
foreign force, which entered it in hostility to our in
