Som Of our exchanges ara beginning to
agitAte the question ss to what shall be
done with A. d. Stevens. who is now at
Fortress Monroe, one of the gang captured
with Jtff Davis. On the one side it is con-
tented thai he should not be dealt with as
severely SIS Davis, for the reason that be
WAS originally Union man and took strong
grounds against the secession Of his native
State. But to our minds this seems only
to sPgravate the crime of treason which he
subsequently, took upon his soul. The man
who had been trained up to the doctrine Of
States Rights and secession from his era
die, Who had imbibed hem with his moth
er's milk, who rushed into rebellion with
his whole heart aud soul, is not morally as
guilty as the man who believed in Union,
and, though believing 10 it, espoused, for
the sake OF personal eggrAndizemept, the
secession cause. Alexander d. Stephens,
bad he maintained the cause Of Union,
might have won for himself lasting and
glorious fame. He has chosen instead the
dark inheritance of treason. he canuo,
plead devotion to principle as his excuse.
His sole motive wss seIfshuess. Let him
share the fate of his leader.
