ance. More honest than some Of my brother

presents them as literally empty, and that

understood that or 10 Maine cattle arrived to-

Time Needed.

The necessity Of delaying the recognition Of
the reorganized South, until sufficient time has
been taken to ascertain the real temper and
honesty Of the professions OF loyalty of the late
rebels, grows every day more apparent. Tho
Southern conventions and legislatures have not
complied voluntarily with d single rcqulsiton Of
tho government. No one supposes thai they
would have nulifed their ordinances OF seces
sion, abolished slavery, Tepudlatsd the rebel
debt, adopted tie constitutional amendment, or
taken any measures to guarantee to Feedmen
their rights, had they not understood that these
were indispensable steps toward their restOra-
ton u the Union. They are not hearty In any
OF these measures, but, where they have COM
piled at all with the terms, have done so with
the expires. understanding that 'here was no
other way to be relieved from military power.
Gov. Parsons, in his recent message 10 the Ala
bsma legislature, advises them to adopt tho con-
stnutionsl Amendment and protect the negroes
but he expressly sugars this bitter advice with
the information that 1t will secure their repre-
sentatves admission into Congress. Gov. Hum
phreys, OF Mississippi, gives his legislature the
same advice with the same reason. And every
Provisional Governor and every rebel who has
advised the South to take these steps, has de-
olared that i. was necessary prerequisite to
recognition at Washington.
We know il cannot be expected that the late
rebels will give up their treason cheerIuly, or
be ready at ones and heartily to recognize and
respect the freedoms which has been given to the
blacks. And it is just because this cannot BE-
expected OF them, that We distrust the policy
which would immediately restore them to the
uncontrolled exercise OF their uneonyerted dis
positions. The Government is under no obllga.
tons to withdraw federal control to. morrow,
any more than It WIS yesterday. II holes the
South yet under military ruo really, because 1t
knows that rule cannot be safely and wisely
suspended. II comes to this conclusion from its
information and opinions respecting the good
faith and loyalty Of the southern people, and
not from Its notion that tue constitution re-
quircs it not to NEEDLE with state rights The
question Of the time when the Government shall
let the South alone is wholly one OF expediency
aud sound policy, aud not at all one of consti.
tu,iosal law. This beng 50, is it not entirely

ABOUT NEGRO INSTRUCTION. Gtuu-
DIV OF tennessee once wisely remarked, that the
way to ensure the peace OF a state is 50 10 egis-
late as to make ii to the interest OF all lis hon
est Inhabitants to keep he peace. Secure the
rights Of all, no said, ard al will support and
maintain the laws, TnoseJ people in Louisiana
and elsewhere who are fearful Of negro insur-
tecton vii do well to bear IN mind this speech
oil southern man.
Much h.s been ,aid about the recent out
break in Jamaica, and people speak as though
negro insurTeclions were something new there,
and had only occurred since the blacks became
free. But the facts are otherwise. While slave
~ existed in Jamaica, there was constant in.
surrection there For forty years the marooms,
mutnous and fugitive slaves, held the mountain
Businesses Of the island, and carried on war with
the whites and the government was at last forced
to make a treaty Of peace with them. 10 1860,
10 l795, snd in 1882 there were special and for
mdabs nsurrectlons OF the slaves, subdued
with great difficulty But when freedom was
declared these instructions ceased and from the
year 1888, when the slaves Of Jamaica became
free, to the last month, there has been no out
break
Thus merely freeing the slaves was the most
effective OF peace measures. But the oppression
OF the planter-clas continued, and lasts to this
day, as we showed in part, few days age. The
form of government 10 ingeniously adapted to
encourage th' class oppression in an island
where the black, are to the whites as forty 10

ask that the three great agents Of civilized society

derive their Just pogels from the consent Of the

State bearing for long period the bl5dsn of an

We ash for equal suffrage as a protection from

We ask that oioled men shall no, 10 every in
stance be tried by white men and that neither bY
custom or enactment shall We be excluded from
the Jury box. We ask that ina,muon as the Con.
slituton Of the United States explicitly declares
that the right Of the people to keepand bear arms
shall not be nfringed, and the constitution is the

Csuespon !es', Of The Freeman
The Vt. Central and VI. & Canada Railroads

We have scarcely taken up city newspaper,
the past season, without seeing the announcement
Of Sad railroad disasters on some OF The different
railroad lines Of the country. SO common in
deed have these dsaslels become that all the
leading journals of city and town have united in
the most outs oxen denunciltions Of the care
lsssuess and insuhcenoy with which those roads,
even the best Of hsm are too generally conducted.
We dc not propose to join in these denunciaous
directly but, going on the principle OF the good
old school master Of our boyhood, who always
punished the bad scholars by praising the good
ones we do insist on the privilege, both as mat
ter Of justice and good policy, Of holding up to
the public for their commendation, at least one
important railroad which can justly claim an al
most entire exemption from all the disasters
which the Encouragement Of other roads have
occAsoned. That railroad is the Vermont Central
and Vermont x Canada, which is virtually but
ore line, and which can safely challenge any rail-.
road in America to show record Of It's running,
marked with less injury to life or property And
is this singular exemption attributable only to
chance or good fortune? No, to neither but to
the very commeBdabe care and horoaghness Of
ito general management For this good general
management the road j, indebted to the great
energy and business capaci les Of It's President

ibe United States are oil wrong IN their opinions
respecting the proper policy to be pursued to-
ward the freedmen in this country w hen these

gagged IN this rebellion were denied none of the
rights Of irccmen, that they had ample oppor-
tunlty and power to choose rulers who were
unobjsctionablo to them, that they participated
equally with Others in the civil and political
rights which are insisted upon by freemen in
this country, we shall be ready to admit that
their rebellion has proved that equal rights in
one instance have not prevented rebellion.
The equal rights which the Declaration of In
dependence declared we're inherent in all men by
divine endowment il not recognized by rulers
and ruling classes, furnish the incentive aud the
justification Of revolution Our fathers believed
that recognition Of these rights in a popular
form of government would remove the provok-
ing cause, as well as the need of rebellion, TO
redress the evils OF despotism and the Republi-
cans of this generation believe that the fathers
were right When the lew attempt to rule the
