ra-In cur opinion, says the Louisville
nnrnal the men who held the highest

rlrIn u opinion, says the Louisville
Journal, the men who held the highest
positions in the COnfedcracy during the
late rebellion arc the very men, whom if
they willtakc The oath Of loyalty; it is the
most important to pardon. They held
high positions because they we're thought
qualified for them. They were elected
because these who knew them confded in
their ability. They rose superior to those
around them because they were superior.
They were leaders because they were the
men whom the people chose to follow.
We say, that, il such men are willing
to return to their loyalty, they are exactly
the men whose services 10 their own sec.
ton Of the Federal Government and the
country want at this time. We need all
the Southern intellect that can possibly
be enlisted in the tremendously important
work of pacifcation and reconstruction
This surely is no time for putting the ban
Of prescription upon the master spirits Of
the South simply because they are master.

power.

The effect of the policy of the radicals,
il practically illustrated, is to recognize
and treat the White Southern. people as
unmitigated scoundrcls, in whom there is
no Justice, no honor, no humanity. We
submit to candid men, whether such a pol
icy can be s%alutary in restoring, speedily
and permanently, the relations that should
exsist between all the States To com,
pc, the Southern States to live in the
Union, we hurled upon them a gigantic
military force ; we crushed out their az
mics and scattered, as chat is scattered
before the wind, their civil Governments
that had been set up in defiance of the
Federal Government. And having &C
complished this purpose, it is now pro
posed to undo this work, that was SO
tough aud SO costly, by declaring that
these people shall not live in the Union
peaceably, quietly.and on terms Of equal
ity with US. Could insanity, in its most
virulent form, devise a policy more fool.

nem0raIized.

The party which has disordered and
demoraiized the country, is now itself
disOrdered and demoralized. None can
adequately describe the hatred and the
fear with which the different factions Of
the dominant party regard each other
Divided by i%rreconcilable divisions and
personal cnmities, and made cruel and
reckless by the terrors Of an impending
judgment, they would not hesitate to
overthrow the Government, if they could
be assured OF escaping destruction amid
its ruins. They feel and know that pow
er is slipping from their grasp, and that
in q short time their party will die amid
the scorn and c~xecration Of a deceived
and outraged people. It's existence has
been brie', bloody and infamous, and
men at this early day blush when ac-
cused Of supporting It. All true Ameri'
cans will rejoice when it ceases to exist

preponderance both in numbers and In

Mayor of Kingston is a colored man, al
though he is believed to disagree with
the majority of the colored people in
their fancifui and visionary theories
More than three.rourths Of the magis-
trates and officers Of the colonial Govern.
ment are colored men, aud several OF the
best educated and most prominent journ'
alists Of the island are colored men. The
police are, with very few exceptions, Of
the same race. Still, although education
is generally diGused throughout the colo

Of hatred displayed toward the white
minority, on the part Of the negroes. =
