The ReconstsuctionIst is one and the R.or-
Ehnizationist Is one. Doubtless they are
brothers, and inwardly and inherently bear
D family resemblance but they chow little
inclination to intimate personal association,
and outwa,dly appear to hnve some an'aso-
nikm toEatds each other. The language Of
the one is much like the language OF the
other, end their conversation gives point to
the French Idea that words are used TO con-
ceal thoughts. The ReorganizR:ionist is gen.
eIslly the cleaner, more polite, and better
dressed Of the two ]; but the Reconstruction
list Is the heartier, more direct and out.

cerity his company Is the more preferable.
The one Is the man Of the South whom heat
and Isolation hsve kept In the faith Of CAL
houn the other is the man Of politics and
place who subordinates his own beliefs to
the necessities of the politician. The one
turns his hatefal and aggressive face squarely
toward you; the other bows aud smiles, and
very likely leers. but 1ou never see more
than his side face at any gtreu time.

The question Of 6ta'e supremacy, wherein
Is involved the whole doctrine of State rights,

The essential difference between the two
claescs Of winch ain wiring, is, I believe,
one of language rather than ideas. It con-
cgne the stat,stics Of that tract oftc7rato1y
lately called The Confederate States. Hold

you can nave no Union again till the Statcs

UnlUn, and holds that 1t Is the joint duty of

had gown. Very likely you will tell me that

Il is not always possible to eay whether
piyeu member Of any one OF the numerous
Southern delegations is Re.on6tructionlst
or Reorcanizationist, Tor tie two classes
merge into each other. and many men seem TO
live near the line Of copfntnce; but Of some
men you can readily EAT that they are Recon
.roc:ionsbts, am OF others that they are Ae-
o1Enniza1soniste.
