should, shall, or may discharge their re-
spective duties, as they had or have to
dictate to the Judges of Elections how
they shall decide. The Judges of Elec-
tious are as Independent of the Attorney
General and the Governor, in this mat
ter, as the latter are Of them. They have
just as good right to instruct sne At
torney General or Governor, as they have
to instruct them.
And let it not be forgotten that this
same Attorney General is now candi-
date for ajudgeship. And hence it fol-
lows that, if this pretense of his, to in
struct the Judges ofthe elections is worth
anything more thai that of another law
yer of like pretensions with himself, that
then he is attempting to control the
judges of election in mis- own case-at-
tempting to declare who may lawfully
vote for him and who may not. The
fact that these oficers-Attorney Gener.
ais, Judges of the Courts, and Governors
depend for their own appointments to
office upon the votes of the people, is
enough to show how utterly preposter-
ous is their pretended right to Instruct
and control the judges of the elections -
70 sustain them in this, one must sup
pose the Constitution to be obnoxious to
the iniquity and folly of practically max.
ing candidates judges in the matter OF

New YORK, Sept. 25.-The Southern
Advocate, of the 18th, says the following
extract, which has just been published,
is from the late President Lincoln's let
ter to Gen. Wadsworth, who fell in the
battle of the wilderness. The letter,
which is E private character, is tn be
sent to Gen. Wadsworth's family. 1t
shows that Mr.. Lincoln, who desired the
bestowal of the elective franchise upon
the blacks, was also at an early day III
favor of granting universal amnesty,
which forSome strange and unaccounta
BILE reason is still withheld from the
South, Notwithstanding it is known that
it was his intention to grant without any
exception q general pardon. Ills wishes
IN this particular the American people
cannot afford to disregard. Congress
will no doubt exact the right of suffrage
tur the blacks Why universal amnesty
should be withheld until that has been
done we are unable to see. This certain
ly was not Mr.. Lincoln's plan, whose ill.,
tentions all parties should saeredly ob
serve. The following is the extract re-
ferred to, in which MI. Lincoln says:
You desire to know in the event OF our
complete success in the field, the same
being tollove ed by loyal and cheerful
submission on the part of the South, If
universal amnesty should not be accom-
panied with universal suffrage Nuw
since you know my private INCLINATION

devoted SO scientific pursuits, and more
familiar with the abstrEe teaching OF

vey, could speak, he would say OF the
fine work, of which he is the accom-
plished head, and which has latterly
proved its uncenquerable usefulness,
that Jefferson Davis was as conyersant
with the smallest minuta Of that noble
institution as any other man not direct
ly connected with it. He was passion
ately devoted to the Smithsonian lnsti-
tuition, of which he was . Regent IN for
mer times. He devoted himself to the
d. ccoration of this capital, and stood by
Captain (now GeneralJ Meigs in all his
efforts to construct the water works, to
finish the capitol building on the grand
est scale, and to push forward the exteD-
sion of the Interior and Treasury De
partments. He was undoubtedly a
great Secretary of Warrand in tins high
office nothing so much delighted him as
to take yeung men by the hand, and
when worthy, to advance them. II he
educated Beauregard to destroy the Re
public, he conferred many advantages
upon Mcclellan to save it. II he assist
ed Lee and Johnston, and thus strength
ened their hands for injury against the
flag, he greatly favored Meigs aud Frank.
