Gen. Blair on the Treatment Of the
90 south.

. There is a remarkable accordance of
opinion between all the successful generals
of the war in regard, to the. treatment Of
South. Gen, GRANT set the example in
terms of LEES surrender, which has been
followed in word and deed by all bis distin-
guished 'sabordinates. It is only miii-
tary humbug like BIN BUTLER, that will
descend 80 low as to pander to the ,"mis-i
cradle hate of non-combatants," as Gen.
SHERMAN APPLY expresses it. Gen. BLAIR.
in his speech at'St Louis, says:ase vi 3
Is This thing of political persecution and exc
cution, when it Is not necessary fos the safety
of our government, is intolerable, and repug-
nant to every mans sense of justice and right.
It is contrary to the character of the great and
magnanimous people like that to which we be-
Tonga people who have the power to main
tain their own institutions against all adverse
fortune-not like the miserable dynasties Of
Europe, that see suspicion lurking in every
shade and who are ready to hedge themselves
round with terror and to execute every man
who utters sentiment of disloyalty to their
crown--but we people are great and magnani-i
nous and can forgive, because the principles
tructible. Loud cheers And when war is
ended, war should end, and peace should be.
gin, else, when can we have peace? We would
forever be compelled to keep our .armor
buckled on and maintain an army which it
would of itself saddle us with debt and taxa
ton that would be felt by our femotest poster
ity, and although the republic has maintained
itself against intestine foes, vet if you keep
alive this animosity, if the prosecuting and UNI
relenting spirit is allowed to keep alive anil
mostly and keep upaf division, it will be pro
jluctiye of no good result. - y COY
b" I say that there can be no Justice for any ex-
ecution which is not demanded by the safety
oil the State, because these men have already
been afflicted by this war. And retaliation!
You talk about retaliation ! Follow in the
track of the army that marched from this city
to the sea, and from thence to Washington,
witnessing that scene of desolation. and de-
struction, necessary without doubt for the
safety of the Government, and You Will think
with me that there has been retaliation enough.
The war is ended but the desolation rests and
broods upon them stil. $500 u.s. .fcH. v..r
Their homes exist no longer, and that people
are driven out and therefore, as for myself,
to a man accustomed to look at things as do,
I can see no necessity of further making
treason odious, as it is already 0dious, and
Nno punishment that we could possibly infiict
Nould equal the punishment which has already
been inflicted punishment justified by the
laws of war, by the great object we had in
| view-the restoration of our government,
but jostifable for no other reason and by no
| other light; nor can its prosecution in any
other shape or form be justifiable unless the
safety of the government Is in peril. Any
policy, my friends, which proceeds from mere
malice comes from hell.

6 The earlier sentiments of Mr.! LINCOLN
were decidedly hostile to negro citizenship
and suffrage. In the famous Illinois con-
test for the Senatorship between him and

Ny opinion is that the different States haye
the power to make a negro q citizen under the

they have not that power. If the Stdte of IL
iinois had that poscer, 4 should be opposed to the
exercise of h. grs..esgr,.o 81 .fos.s. ri
Mr.. LINCOLN said more to the same
effect, as that he was IS not in favor Of
bringing about, in anyway, the social and
political equality of the white and black
races " am NOT, said Mr.. LINCOLN,
ssnor ever have been, in favor of making
voters or Jurors of negroes, nor of quail
flying them to held Office" We are not
aware that Mr.. LINCOLN ever uttered any
sentiments conflicting with those above
quoted. In bis private letter to Governor
HAHN, of Louisiana, recently published, he
barely suggests for that gentleman's con-
sideration whether "some Of the colored
people may not be let in, as, for instance,
the very intelligent. and especially those
who have fought calamity in our ranks -
but he everywhere comedies that this is a
matter for exclusive State control. i, -

avery interesting account of the interview
between the President and the New York
Quakers Who called to urge the extension
OF the elective franchise to the slaves Of
the South. After declaring that he had
always been the friend of the co]ored peo-
pie, and that he intended to be their pro !.

no speeches, and certainly no long letters.

At the Ohio Republican Convention last

The striking feature Of the Convention VA the

number of officers who had lost an arm or a

The State Conventions.

p 1t is announced that the Republican
Central Committee have determined not
to call the Convention for the nomination
of State officers until early in the fall, after
the labors of the harvest shall be ended,
as the soldiers will nearly all be at home
before election, and little time will be ne
cessary to collect the votes Of the absent
ones.
The Democratic Central Committee
have had no consultation upon the subject,
but we learn from gentlemen who are on
the Committee, that the reasons above as
signed apply equally to the Democratic
organization, and therefore the Conven-
ton will probably be deferred until after
harvest. 1t matters but little when the
candidates are nominated, if sufficient
time is given for their names and charac-
ters to become known to the electors.
The Democratic organization is founded
upon principles as old as the government
ITSELF and these should be inculcated at all
times, by public speech, and through the
press. The issue this fall in our own
State will be one Of principles-sound
conservatism against the mad schemes Of
the radical agitators. I'll, Il
