FrOm this RInhmuuH EnrpHtrars Jam o.
The snemF have discovered that srarvB-
tTon cannot EEducB the CnufsdaracE. We
IRteIF had occasion To- show, frum the New
York World than SO I0ug as the sSoutE is
not dIsheartened by YearuiugB after old,
comforts and Iu1uries,T" 1t will be uucuu-
querahle I'm the opinion even of our enemy:
and the New York Times regards s.tEe
material forces of q country aa by NO means
its only or principal strength :" but that itg
strength lies t'maiuly in the mysterious and
utterly unreasonable force of the human
will. These are affected by moral as we'll
as material causes. The capture of Rich.
mond would, in fact, relieve the confsde-
racy of real burden but, in its moral
effect, it could not ne measured by what
ever loss OF gHns or stores. To less de-
gree the loss OF Savannah tells on the pres
uge, the spirits of the rebel population"
Writing OF Sherman's march to Savan-
nah the Times says :-"This march disap-
pointed the old popular illusion of starving
out the oonfederacy. We have found the vast
cotton fields of Georgia thick SCUM with
whole crops of cereals The land abounded
10 potatoes, corn, wheat, poultry and stock.
There was no approach even to scarcitv,"
The Times, with the World, gives M the
starvation" plan as failure just as decid-
ed as the anaconda system, and agrees that
battles must alone decide the war.
Let our weakened reconstructionists
and suomissionists put these admissions
and experiences of the enemy in their
pipes and smoke them. The importance
attached to high spirit and resolute pur-
pose by these two organs of public opin-
ion in the enemy's country is not overes-
timated. These newspapers well under
stand that dependency is semi. treason;
that your croaker is half traitor. Your
respondent croaker in the fret stages of
incipient treason complains of the Presi.
dent, tina: he NEEDLES with military affairs;
that he retains Colonel Northrop as Com
missary General and Mr.. Seldom as Sec
rotary of War; that our armies will be
starved out of Richmond land. dissipated
intovguerrilla bands. Next he Violently
opposes employing negroes in the army,
and ISLANDERS the soldiers by asserting that
they will be demoralized if negroes are EN-.
ployed; that the negroes will run off; that
the masters will conceal them. Next he
talks of pacific measures; thinks an ad.
dress from the Virginia Legislature to
the people of the United States,
soliciting an opportunity for honorable
consultation and conference, would cause
Mr.. Lincoln to withdraw Grant from City
Point and Sherman from Savannah, and
then that convention of States could as
semble and discuss thequestion of divi.
ding the two countries, stop the war and
restore the Union. Thus your eroaker
becomes reconstructionist, and when the
schemes of reconstruction have failed he
will eubside into submissionist and be-

IT may may we'll be.questioned whether
Delaware will not be the last of the Dor.
dor states to get rid of slavery. Maryland
has already abolished it. Missouri has
finished with redoubled speed the work,
which she began with moderation. Ken
lucky sees slavery dwindling away in her
territory, and ceasing to be profitable, and
is considering whether she had not better
follow the example of her neighbor Missou-
RI. Her Governor who is ranked as a con-
sentative has in his message recommen-
ded gradual emancipation. The party of
freedom is probably still in the minority
in the State, but it is daily increasing.-
Yet little Delaware, surrounded now by
free States, and having but handful of
slaves, hugs the old institution of slavery,
as though the safety of the State depended
on the perpetuity of that effste system
which vigorous Maryland and Missouri
have abandoned forever. The cause of this
attachment is largely, if not chiefly, politi-
cal. The Democratic party in that State is
identified with slavery. Itknows that eman-
cipatiOn will Gust it from power. So the in
stinct of self-preservation incites it to cling
to slavery, to defend it, to oppose with the
whole power of it's organization any at
tempt to place Delaware in the rank of
free States. But it's efforts will in the end
prove uuavailiug. 1t may delay the bles-
sings which freedom would bring to the
State. But it cannot prevent them from
coming atlast. The Governor of the State
is now in favor OF emancipation, and
warmly recommends it in his message
The slaves are running away to the adjs~
cent States, and-they cannot now be re-
turned By force. Slavery is thus abolish.

It certainly can not be laid to their charge
that he has failed of succeeding. We doubt
not that they both properly appreciate all
his excellenoies as an executive officer as
we'll as his personal defects. The Tribune
loses sight of all considerations save one,
and allows itself to be carried off into in
judiCious and incen diary attacks upon
Gen. Grant and the President, simply
because of Gen. Buffers supposed embod-
iment of radicalism. If we believed that
Gen. Butler'sa tensts in that arespecs4had q
tenth part of the zri6uns's sincerity in the
same direction, we shonld feel more sym.
pathetic with the misfortune than we do.
But until we can believe more in General
Butler and less in the President and Gen.
Grant than we now do, we shall remain

Reconstruction

The work of reconstruct ion l. pro
crossing rapidly and successfully. The
good spirit manifested in the Mississippi
convention is also witnessed in each of
the other southern States. and there is
good reason to hope that before the meet
ing fthe next Congress civil govern
| ment will be firmly re>estab!ished all
over the South. The Alabama conven-
ton is now in session. Il will doubtless,
follow the precedent given by Mississippi,
with the like happy results, and receive
similar marks of confidence and favor.
President JOHNSON enunciated the true
doctrine when he said Z" the people must
be trusted with their government" The
government belongs to the people it is
their own in every sense: and they cannot
be rightfully deprived of its possession.
The Constitution of the United States is
the only Instrument which can legally
restrict the peoples will. Having con-
piled with its provisions the southern
people may demand that they be trusted
with their government The demand
must be acccded 10, or our whole republi-
can system thrown aside The President
stands by the constitution; but the rad.
icals who are assailing him, and the Re
publcans who "damn with faint praise"
and the small fry politicians WHO, like
some in Wheeling, maintain u sullen ST.
lcnce in reference to the doings of the
Federal administration, all desire with
more or less intensity, the subversion Of
our system of government and the estab-
lishment of kind of alStocracy in its
stead If we would preserve unsullied
the right of the people tolHake their own
laws and administer their own govern.
ment, we must cling 10 the constitution
and give notice to those wh" are plotting
against ON freedom that the people
must be trusted with their government"
aud that hereafter majoritics shall rule.

applicable to the circumstances which
called forth the test oath law.

called forth the test oath law.
"The history of every country in Eu.
rope will furnish fragrant instances OF
tyranny exercised under the pretext OF
penal dispensations Rival factions, in
their efforts to crush each other, have
superseded all the forms, and suppressed
ali the sentiments ofjustice, while attain
ders, on the principle of retaliation and
prescription, have marked all thelvicissi-
tudes of party triumph. The temptation
to such abuses of power is unfortunately
too alluring for human virtue; and, there
fore, the trainers of the American constr
tuition have wisely denied to the respec-
tive Legislatures, Federal as Tell as
State, the possession of the power itself.

1t was shown by Mr.. LAMB, a few days
ago, in his own peculiarly lucid and con-
vincing style, that the test oath law
was unconstitutional because it altered
the qualifications of voters. We have
also seen that it is in conflict with that
clause of the constitution prohibiting the
passage of an erpost Jfacto law. But
when have the radical. faction whose
organ the LntelHgencer is and with whom
the Attorney General acts, ever paid any
regard to law or constitution, if they
stood in the way of any temporary OBJ

attained be right in itself, (Which it is
not in this case,) is there. no other way
in which it can be reached than by the
overthrow of those great principles
which are necessary to the protection OF
