S9uthern Good Faith.

President johnson, IN hes last remarkable
sPesca, confirmed entirely what we said
some days ago aboa, tie manufactured sto-
fies in partisan newspapers designed 10
convey The impression that the South was
not aching IN good laiIh, and had no inlen-
lion 10 remain peaceable. The President
said he had seen such statements in some
papers, and did not believe a word of them
His information is wholly to The contrary,
and he believes the statement TO be false.
The truth is that great many Northern
men have gotten to practicins the very bad
plan of calling every one traitor or rebel
who does mol agree with their noiions-
Thus we ses Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens insist
ing that all who do not adopt his ultra ideas
about coniisca,ion and punishment at The
South, shall Ego with copperheads and reb-
els" and it is exceedingly amusing TO see
how some of his late allies wriihe under
this denunciation Because they do not
find Southern people sbsoui ely anxious lor
negro 6qualiiy, negro suffrage, and amaIga-
nation, ,lhese Northern men of progressive
ideas" insist that The Souih is still rebel
ous. When they find that the Southern
people are going 10 vo:e against negro
equality, they insist that this anli-negro vo-
ling is equivalent 10 disunionism aud irea-
sen. All lsis is pure nonsense, and would
be ridiculous if il were not apt 10 be a seri-
ous matter in misleading The ignorant. The
ruth is abundantly plain that The South is
heartily anxious to prove its good faith now
in sustaining the Union, aud no part OF the
land is TO be found more thoroughly deter
mined 10 stand firm under The Constitution
The President announces his intention 10
withdraw the troops from the Soulh as rap
idly as possible, and TO leave the adjustment
OF local affairs 10 the authority which, by the
American system of government, ought TO
regulate those affairs, TO wit, the people Of
The several States. He ia emphatic in ex-
pressing bis confidence in that authority,
and his own determination 10 resis, The idea
OF Capitalization of power, which would
convert our government Into a despoIism.
In these views he will ce sustained by the
wisesi and best men of The country. The
opposition of Messrs. Stevens and Sumner,
and others of that class, will lead the friends
OF The Constitution 10 stand more firmly by
it, and will in all probability resnll in max
ing The constitutional party stronger than
ever. The principles and plans OF the op-
ponenls of The President, led by Stew en- s, are
simple disunionism, of the old-tsshioned
Southern sort, under an older fashioned
guise, such, indeed, as il once were in New
England, where il threatened TO divide the
nation iens ago.-N. Z. Journal Of Com

No. 4.


II is astonishing 10 contemplate ibe sweep
of speculation aud desire 10 make money,
as il rolls all over our country, and carries
along with IL all classes Of the ciiizens of
this vast Republic. Speculation in lands,
speculation in bonds and stocks of all
kinds-Governmsnt, Bank, Railroad, Pc
troleum, &c. &c. Speculation in goods of
all descriptions. Speculation in gold, in
silver-in fact, in everything, real and per-
sonal-dead and alive-moveable and un-
moveable-necessary and luxury. II is
surprising, that in the midst of these spec.
ulations, one, within the reach of every
body, and iuA of promise 10 those who
may engage in il, has almost entirely es
capped The attention of the public. Thus
specufation is the simplifying of trade ard
labor, and concentrating attention and en-
ergy on some one particular thing or pur-
suit.
''Too many irons in The fire, +" is a COM
mon saying, nevertheless liide regarded in
practice. And yei II is one Of universal ap-
piscafiou. In a well settled and well resu-
aated community, you. may apply it 10 al
III ost every pursuit and vocation To agri
culture TO man1factu-e-to trade
10 AgrscaffHre.-fhc way things are done
now, every farmer tries TO live inde penden,
OF all oiher tanners. and a. far as possible,
OF all the rest of mankind He raises his
own bread. meat, and closhins to a certain
extent He raises all the various kinds of
grain. roots, horses, caule, hogs, sheep,
poultry, fax, sorghum, grapes &c &C., and
there things, not only Tor himseH but for
others.
Now suppose these men were TO adopt
different course, and were 10 give pariicu-
LAT attention 10 some one OF the above men,
toned articles, not indeed TO the utter ex-
clusion OF all others, but 10 make II his pc
culiar care and study, what would be The
result /! We should be greatly benefited
all around. We should raise these peculiar
things in a much greater perfection, and
those applying themselves 10 them, making
ten dollars where they now make one. We
should have better horses, better live stock
OF every kind, better grain and greater
abundance OF it There would be a better
living, and fortunes would grow much
more rapidly among farmsts han they do
now.

our Returned Soldiers.

WilhiE'the Iast'isw weeks we have con-
ysrsed with quite number Of our returned
soldiers, and find them, pretty generally,
fully understanding the great issue in this
-campsign. Ills bot a day or two since we
fell in the company with three young N en-
OF this place and vicinity, who, when they
snisred the army, were ardent Supporters
OF all the principles and measures OF lne
present party in power, bat al present de-
clare their intentions TO no longer be identi-
ned with that party. They went into The
army TO fight for the Union aud re-establi.h
the laws, and not 10 hazard their lives for
the liberation Of that black race so much
worshipped and idolized by our Abolition
friends. The war had continued but q short
time when they were told by the aulhori-
ties in words and actions that the war was
wseed more for HE emancipation and free
dom of the negro rhan for The restoration of
the Union. II was then that our brave boys
found that they were deceived-that they
we're undergoing all The aspirations, sui
ferings and hardships incident 10 war, for a
purpose other than that for which lhey had
enlisted. This, with many other things
which We could here mention, has caused
many of the soldiers, who were Repubh-
cans when they enieced The army 10 return
Democrats. The A5olaioa party, oct con-
tent with The freedom Of the negro, tell Us
that The African gentleman Of American

They can't place The negro on an equsliiy
