Letter from senator Summer.

BosToN, October 70, 1865.
DEAR Mr.. EDITOR Il rejoice that the In
dependent has planted itself firmly upon the
sure ground of Equal Rights 1t is natural
that journal which has from the beginning
so bravely and constantly opposed slavery in
all its pretensions, should now insist that
these pretensions shall be trampled out, so
that nothing shall be left to breed future
trouble. This can be done only through the
establishment of equal rights.
To my mind, there never was duty plain
er or more instructive. 1t is as plain as the
moral law, and is as instructive as self defense.
If the country fails to do this justice now, it
will commit crime, where guilt and mean
ness will strive for mastery. On this head it
is enough to say that it is debt we owe to
saviors and benefactors. But here all the in
stincts of self defence harmonic with Justice.
For the sake of the whole country, which
suffers from weakness in any part; for the
sake of the States lately distracted by war,
which above all things need security and re-
pose; for the sake of agriculture, which is
neglected there; for the sake of commerce
which has fed for the sake of national
credit. whose generous trust is exposed to
reputation and finally, for the sake of
reconciliation, which can be complete only
when Justice prevails, we must insist upon
equal rights as the condition of the new order
Of things. So long as this question remains
unsettled there can be no true peace. There
fore. | would say to the merchant who wishes
to open trade with this region to the capital
ist who wishes to send his money there; to the
emigrant who wishes to find home there,
begin by assuring justice to all men. This is
the one essential condition of prosperity, of
credit, and of tranquility. Without this,
merchantile houses, banks, and emigration
societies having anything to do with this re-
gion, must all fail, or at least suffer in busi-
ness and resources.
To Congress we must look as the guardian
under the Constitution of the national safety. |
do not doubt its full power over the whole
subject; nor do doubt its duty to see that ev-
erypretended government organized by recent
rebels is treated as present nullity. Presi
dent johnson spoke well, when in Tennessee
he said that Sin the work of reorganization,
rebels must take back seats, leaving place to
those who have been truly loyal" there is
the keynote of a just policy, which trust
Congress will adopt.
1t is difficult to measure the mischief which
has already ensued from the experiment"
which has been made. Looking at the posi-
tive loss to business and the productive in
dustry of the country, it is painful. Looking
at the distress which it has caused among
loyal people by the revival Of the rebel spirit
it is heart-rending. Looking at it in any way
it is terrible failure. 1t will be for Congress
to apply the remedy.
Meanwhile, yoghave the thanks of good
people for your loyalty to the cause, and your
strenuous efforts in its behalf Go on | en-
treat you. Do not hesitate
am, dear sir, your grateful fellow-labor-
er, CHARLES SUMNER.

sends US the following interesting notes:
Mr.. johnson Brown, of Gilbert, Scott Co.,
has kindly furnished me, in obedience to my
request, the following settlement as to his
onion crop: SIN November, "a, plowed the
ground about eighteen inches deep; the next
spring as soon as the frost was out of the
ground, and the weather would permit, drag
ged Thoroughly. and brushed ground until as
fine as an ordinary garden bed. / then
drilled three pounds of new onion seed, in
drills eight inches apart. 1t is necessary to
commence hoeing the weeds as soon as the
rows can be seen-which is generally about
three weeks after planting-and continue hoe
ing until July; by that time the tops become
so large that no more weed will grow. One
good hand will work two acres. As soon as
they become ripe, the tops will fall, which is
about the middle of September; they can then
be raked with hand rake and topped; they
then are readyfor market. grew six acres as

GEN. CAss' TRIBUrE.-We call atten-
ton to the letter Of General Cass on the
second page Of the paper this morning.
The tribute which he pays to the ability,
patriotism and honesty Of President Lin.
coin, is worthy Of q place in the records
of history. How the almost universal
testimony of the nation to the private
and public virtues of Mr.. Lincoln should
shame the Copperhead press and the
C,pperhead leaders whose chief business
for the last four years has been to villify
and denounce him as an imbecile and
knave, usurper and despot, who soush,
his country's ruin. And in view of the
utter falsity and groundlessness of this
miserable viluperation, how careful should
the people be in future how thoy put
faith in the lying rascals who have been
trying to blackcn the pure and spotIess
lame of Mr. Lincoln.
