We invite attention to the address
Of the Executive Committee Of the
Ohio Monument Fund, which appears
on our first page. The object of the
fsnd is to erect two monuments,viE -
One 10 the memory of the noble men
of Ohio who died in the service Of the
country, and one to the memory Of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, tho good man of
tho century and the most beloved and
honored man Of theage. The subscrip-
tion price to these funds is ore dollar
to each, thus placing it within the
reach of nearly tho whole people.
We hope Fairfield county will not
be behind in contributions to this
cause. Soldiers who honor the men,
ory Of their dead comrades, and pa
triots who honor the soldier and the
memory Of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, can
not give worthier expression totheir
respect. Address all communications
to C. s. Dyer, Secretary, Columbus,
Ohio.

GOV. DENNIsON.

Secretary Seward, in his Auburn
speech, pays a high compliment TO the
talents and patriotism oil Gov. Denni-
son. He says:
"ITe is promptly restoring the trans
portation of mails throughout the late
theatre of war, and in that way per-
forming an eminent part in the re-
Cancellation of the American people,
Watchful of the interests Of external

has introduced us 10 more intimate
intercourse with the States of South
America. A year hence we shall see
him extending commercial, political
and friendly connection to the islands
ofthe Pacific and the great continents
that lie beyond it,"

Word. from the Pr.,id.n,.

On our first page will bc found
President JohnsoD's address to the
colored troops Of tho District of Col.
umbia. Like Jackson, no recognizes
thcm as citlzons, and assures them
that this is thoir country as well as
any other mans country; and that the
principle Of tho American Government
is equality.
On our inside wo also publish the
Presidents converSntion with George
L. Stoarns, of Massachusetts. Ho is
surprised himself at tho rapid progress
which ia being made in restoring the
Southern States to tho Union, and
says it appears like dream, His
policy is to let tho States reconstruct
themselves, rather than to reconstruct
them by Federal power. Timo will
prove tho wisdom ofhis policy. Nothing
could bo more admirable in statesman.
ship than the tact and sagacity with
which no has managed tho South and
with which he is drawing tho people
back to their allegiance. On tho suf'
frage question, the President claims
that he was no moro right TO say tho
negro shall vote in tho Southern States
than he has to dictate that ho shall
vote in Pennsylvania. Bat ho says
further.
MY position here is different from
what ii would be if were in Tehno
sseo. There should try to introduce
negro suffrage gradually; frat those
who had served in The Army; those
who could read aud write, and por.
haps a property qualification for 9th.
Ors, say 5000 or $3.50"
All this Is no doubt exceedingly
comforting to tho Democracy. Their
bowels have long yearned toward
President Johnson. ThOy endorsed
his policy, and claim him os their fu'
turo leader. But tho President has
placed them in n dilemma. Their
hopes rest upon two things, viz; hos.
tility TO the negro, and Andrew
Johuson's leadership. If they insist
upon crushing out the negro,
they must abandon tho President;
and II they cling TO the President thcy
must abandon their war upon the ne
gro, and come Out in favor Of giving
the coiorcd man the franchise.
Wc should really pity the poor
Democracy when We Soe IL Founder,

? a)eader, were il not that it deserves
calamity, aud not only that, but ami
hilation. lii fighting against the
spirit and the moral sentiment Of thC

PersCas who think that tho author.

son asserted without inHicting severe
punshme-t, should remember that the
power to pardon implies tho power to
punish. Every pardon granted to q

mitted treason and that tho Govern

that Il chooses to grant him a pardon.
Those who demand that tho ques.
tion OF treason shall be tested and set

have their demand satisfied by the tri-
al of JEFF. Davis. Should Davis be
convicted, whatever is done with him,

any Of dozen other guerrilas. Not
that any Of these were hung simply fer
treason, but thOy wero hung for crimes
which wero the legitimate offspring Of
treason. Let it suffice, thatif tho Gov.
ornmept can pardon men for treason
it can hang men for treason. JEFF.
Davis would want TO greater distinc.
tion in history than to bo hung for
treason. He would then pass into tho
poetry and romance Of the world
But TO try him, convict him, and turn
him out to wander a convicted traitor,
will rendor treason odions and unro.

who insist that the robols shall suffer

They we're dumb. 1t was fully three

enough left in the Confederacy to tax,

There has been case of Cholera at
Brooklyn, New York. Tho terrible
pestilencc is already throwing out
skirmishcrs upon this continent, and
feeling for us. Next spring the battle
will begin in earnest. Cholera may
exist in winter, and London papers
say that tho epidemic is usually pre-
cedod by local cases during the au-
tumn and winter. The scourge, may
be much modified by cleansing our
cities and BY other sanitary precau-
tions. ''

by its own laws, and we have the
power to control tho rebel States if
they go. wrong. If they rebel, we
have tho army, and can control them
by it, and, if necessary, by Legislation
also. II the General Government con-
trolls the right to vote in the States, il
may establish such rules as will re
strict the vote to small number Of
persons, and thus create central des-
potism.
My position here is different from.
what it would be if was in Tennes-
SEQ.
There 1 should try to introduce ne
gro suffrage gradually; first those who
had served in tho army those who
could read and write, and perhaps a
property qualification for others, say
5000 or $3.50.
1t willnot do to let negroes have u
niversal suffrage ROW; it would breed
a war of races.
There was a time in the Southern
States when the slaves of large own
ers looked down upon non-slave-own-
ers, because they did not own slaves;
the larger the number of slaves their
masters owned, the prouder they were,
and ibis has produced hostility be-
tween the mass of the whites and the
negroes. The outrages are mostly
from n.slaveholding whites against
the negro, and from the negro upon
the non .slaveholding whites.
The negro will vote with the late
master whom he does not hate, rather
than with tho non. .slaveholding white
whom he does hate. Universal suf-
frage would create another war, not
against us, but war of races.
Another thing, This government
i; the freest and best on the earth, and
feel sure is destined to last; but to
secure this, we must elevate and puri-
fly the ballot. I for many years con-
tended at the South that slavery was
a political weakness, but others said
it war political strength; they thought
we gained three ftths representation
by it; contended that We lost two
fifths.
If we had no slaves, we should have
had twelve representatives more, &C
cording to the then ratio Of represen.
tation. Congress apportions represen
tation by States. not districts, and the
State apportions by districts.
Many years ago. l moved in thu
Legislature that the appointment o
Representatives to Congress, in Ten
nessee, should be by qualified voters
The appointment is now fixed un
til 1872; before that time we nigh
change the basis of representation
from population to qualified voters
North as we'll as South, and in du'
course Of time, the States, Oithout re
gard to color, might extend the elec
tive franchise to all who possessed Ger
tain mental, moral, or such other quail
ifications, as might be determined b!
an enlighted public judgment.

A Conversation ON RsOOnstructiOn.

MEDFoRD, MASS, Sunday, Oct. 8.
My Dear SRI was so much i'm
pressed with our conversation of last
Tuesday, that returned Immediately
to my room and wrote down such of
the points made as could remember,
and having pondered them all the way
home, am to-day, moro than ever, con-
vinced that, if corrected by you and
returned to me for either public or pri.
vate use, it will go far to promote
good understanding between you and
our leading men.
1t will also unite the public mind in
favor of your plan, So far, at least, as
you would carry it out without modi-
ficat:on.
You are aware that I do not asso-
ciate much with men in political life,
but rather with those who, represent
ing tho advanced moral sense Of the
country, earnestly labor for the good
Of our people, without hope of, or even
desire for, Office or other immediate re-
ward. The latter class desire earnest
ly to understand your plans, and, if
possible, support your Administration.
l think the publication of your pro-
cess of reconstruction, with the reasons
for your faith in it, will commend it.
self to their candid judgment, and, as l
told you, inspire our whole Northern
people with confidence in your admin
istration.
The report is meagre and unsatis.
factory, but l think it conveys, for the
most part, the spirit of our converse
ton. Therefore, although the whole
tenor Of your words led me to believe
it was not intended to be kept private,
l have refrained, from answering the
specific inquiries of anxious friends,
whom met on my way homo, lost l
might, in some way, leave a wrong i'm
preston on their minds.
Truly your friend,
