A Secret of Youth.

There are women who cannot grow

attractive. The number is smaller than

tween this class and the other The
secret OF this perpetual youth lies not
in beauty, for some women possess 1t

more nor less. the blessed gift of always
looking on the bright side OF life, and
of stretching the mantle of charity over

debt all contracted in defense of the
country and in suhduing the rebellion.
The Southern States, when they return
to their practical relations with the Gov
ermvent, will come back wholly free
from this class of debt with which New
York is bnrthened. Their debt, If any,
will have been contracted in fighting
against the Union and not restoring 1t.
and of course will he at first repudiated-
But in time. when. as is just. New York
and the other loyal States call upon the
General Government To assume the debt
contracted in its own defense, such de-
mand will be opposed 10y the Southern
States which have no such debt or VIII
be encountered by the proposition TO
assume for the South some part OF the
onfederate debt; and such will be the
power of the pressure upon Congress OF
the immense amount of the consolidated
debt, unjust and iniquitous as 1t would
be for the nation to assume 1t, l should
fear for the result Therefore / would
have it as part of the fundamental law
of each State that no part of such debt
should ever be assumed or paid by the
State, or any portion thereof. The as
sumption Of such debt by the general
government is subject so flaught with
danger, so aided by tue influence of
money, that would employ every means
10 keep it from the national councils.
THE STATUS OF REBEL OFFICERS.
The necessity of the fourth proposed
amendment of the constitution OF the
several States, that no rebel officers
should vote or hold office. is obvious
from their constitutions. This rebellion
was basely set on foot because political
power was departing from the South and
travelling northward. To regain that
power which their enterprise, wealth
and consequent increase of population
brought to the North, the leaders at the
South plunged the nation into this hor
rid war Shall we not, therefore, teach
coming generations by living examples
that political power is not gained, but
irretrievahiv lost, by rebellin2 against
the United States Besides, the com
mon mind at the South has been hereto
fore so much controlled by the leading
men that such deprivation of political
power is absolutely necessary To deprive
the leading class there of that influence
over the Southern thought which has
heretofore been, and will hereafter be,

ARIsToCRACY.
Being n dem ocrat. would break down
the landholdin- and slaveholling aristo-
cracy of the South. which has brought
SO much of evil upon us. Is not the
deprivation of political rights the aPpro-
pirate and mildest form of punishment
Of treason 3? Is this not a necessary
measure of precaution against future
evils For these reasons, therefore,
which | have scarcely more han limited
at, l would insist, before any measures
should be taken to bring back revolted
State. that the inhabitants in their prima-
ry and fundamental law, as part of the
frame of government, should solemnly
provide that There should be neither
slavery nor secession in their State, and
that rebel debts and rebel notes should
be alike repudiated.
