plea" 'The friction Of ths rebellion has
rubbed out slavery" and S1sysl mon who were
compelled to bow and submit TO the rebellion,
now that the rebellion ID ended, stand equal
to loyal men everywhere" Good doctrine
that; and next follows declaration Of the
means and measures by which 1t Is 70 be estab-
reorganization.
He admonished this South Caroline deiega-
ton that slavery ID gone, and "that there was
no hope that their representatives could be ad-
mitted into the Senate or the House of Repre-
sentatives until they had afforded evidence BY
their conduct Of this truth" ''The people Of
South Carolina must have Q convention, and
amend their constitution by abolishing slavery,
and this must be done in good faith, and the
convention or Legislature must adopt the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution Of the
United States, which prohibits and excludes
slavery everywhere" This is we'll consid-
cred sins qua non to the restoration Of the late
rebellious slave States; for without the ratiaca-
ton of the said amendment OF The federal con-
stisation, the supreme law Of tho land, South
Csrelinn, for instanoe, the day sfer the restore
ton of her members 10 Congress may re-estsb-
lish slavery. % any Of the loyal States nay no
establish Il At the present time. President
institution Of slavery Is concerned there shall
be no cheating and no chance for deception.
This will give great satisfaction to the
country, and will enable the late shareholders
of the South clearly to understand their true
position-that they have no alternative but to
accept the fact that slavery is dead, and dead
beyond any possible chance Of resurrection.
Next, with regard TO negro suffrage, President
johnson gives solid reason for avoiding 1t at
present, which appears not to have entered
into the heads of our "wise men of the East"
among the abolition radicals He holds that
the late Southern Shareholder, who has the
land and the capital to employ help, if we
grant negro suffrage now in the South, will
control the votes of the blacks against the poor
whites; and any one who knows anything of
the prejudices between Southern negroes and
Southern "poor white trash," knows that such
will be the case. Then we must not forget the
influences of the master over the minds of the
blacks still on his plantation. They will give
him their votes to retain their cabins and their
work on "the old place" till they can do
better, and be will make 1t their interest to
give him thoir suffrages.
Thus we perceive that the intimate know
ledge of President johnson of tho Southern
people and Southern slavery, and Southern
classes and races, and his long and active
political experience among them, has made
him much wiser man on this subject of negro
suffrage than his Northern radical instructors
He spesks from what hc knows and what he
has seen, and from what he has suffered knd
has had to fight against as Southern "poor
white" man, and he may be safely trusted as
the man whose cause Is that of the Union, the
constitution and the masses of the people. We
are sure, too, that his South Carolina pre-
gramme will command the confidence and sup
port Of the whole country. W
MAnmAAN AZ EMrEnoR OF MEx1oo AND GRAND
DUKE OF AUsTRIA.-We learn by the late news
from Europe that M. Eloin, the special envoy
of Macmillan the First, and last, has been sue
cessful In obtaining revocation of the agree
Austrian throne, which he entered into when
he assumed the imperial purple ia Mexico
The mission Of M. Eloin to Europe was two
fold. He went to obtain reinforcements of
troops from France, the number in Mexico not
being sufficient to sustain Macmillan; and he
also went to Vienna to obtain the restoration
of Maximilian's rights to succession. We have
not learned whether he was as successful in
the first object of his visit as he Is reported to
have been in the second. The indications in
France at present are that Napoleon is about
sending more troops TO Mexico, for We perceive
that several transports are fitting out at Cher
bourg to some destination not revealed; but,
then, there are French soldiers returning from
Mexico also. The boastful tone assumed by
the government representatives in the French
Chambers tho other day Is NOT 10 be taken -
evidence that the Emperor intends to pursue
his policy in Mexico 10 the bitter end. We
have the assurance of M. Theirs that France is
not in financial esndition to supply any moro
men and means for this purpose, and in view
of the unpopularity Of the measure in France
1t is not likely that 1t will be persisted in. r
There is curious fact connected with the
resignation OF Maximilians claims 10 the crown
Of Austria. The agreement between him and
Francis Joseph, which was drawn up in Eu-
rope, found Its way into the press there, and
was published also in our columns, but II was
suppressed In Mexico. Our correspondent
there furnished copy Of 1t to us as piece
Of important news which the Mexican EN-
peror would not permit to be published, not
knowing that we had already published It here.
Maximilan endeavored to keep the affair from
public sight, and 1t appears that he has now
succeeded in getting the agreement revoked,
which is probably but preparatory step to
his return TO Europe. When this M Eloin
