GEIlRETr SMITH ON OUR
SOUTHERN BRETHREN.

Gerrett Smith made speech at the
Cooper Institute, New York, on Nor.
day evening, Juno 5th, in which ho
opposed punishing tho rebel leaders
for treason. He does this partly bo.
cause ho loves his "SOuLhcrn broth.
rcn," but principally because legally
and logically we have no right, in bis
opinion, to punish them for treason,
after agreeing with them to conduct
the war by the rulos Of war, after
acknowledging them as bolligercnts
1T is u question for tho lawyers to set
tie, whether, after agreeing to fight
the rebels by tho rules OF international
war, after exchanging prisoners, and
sending commissioners to negotiate
terms Of peace with tho rebel authori.
ties, the Government has tho right to
take the leaders and execute them for
treason. We do not pretend to cay
what the law is,
Mr. Smith thinks The North and
South arc jointly responsible for the
war and tho North should humble
herself and repent, instead OF calling
for tho blood of tho leading rebels,
WcNsrco that tho North is rcsponsi.

Of tho war, for tho South was cncour.

finally to exlinguish it, the South held

A speech and Letter from General shsr-


Thoy succeeded in getting a short
speech from General SHERMAN at Chi
cago. He said after reference TO the
2O-pounderanc 12-poundcr with which
arguments wereaddressed to the rebels:
Now all that is passed and there is
peace Ildhe way from here to the Gul6
and you gentlemen, know what you
must do now. Instead of destroying
you must build up; instead of insult
ing you must conciliate; Instead of
destroying you must encourage those
who are willing to aid us in building
up this widely diversified land. You
cannot expect the people Of Louisiana
and the people of North Carolina TO
feel as VIC do; all parties have tlreir
prejudices, and we must respect theirs
as they must ours With this simple
precautieR there is no danger of this
thing ever recurring in our annals.
In letter addressed to Now York
Committee, declining an invitation to
attend tho Cooper Institute meeting
he said:
1 know that now tho Government Of
the United States possesses organized
power amply sufficient to vindicate Its
honor, todestroy hostile organizations
at home or abroad, and to punish crime
wherever it occurs. hope that power
will bo exercised at all times openly
and without hesitation, not only tC
punish tho criminal, but to make his
fate the example for future times.
know that our Government has only
to make the law, and thousands o.
brave men stand ready to execute il
without "fear, favor, or Affection" Al
the same time we should aim to escape
the reaction toward the opposite ex
tremc, SO common to violent revolu
tions; and, if successful in this, W.
can point to il in after years with pride
and satisfaction. So majestic an ex
ample will add n new slnction to til,
noble hospitality of our Government
which has, in the past and present, in
vited the worthy and Industrious ofal
lands to come and share with US oul
surplus lands and common history.

We have soon Copperhoad paper

sos of tho Government for one yoar
from 1863 to 1864, were over three mil

We wish to keep it before the pco

party plunged tho country into wal

millions of dollars.

ONE of tho first things wo learned
when we began to study Moral Phi
losophy was that every Right had q
corresponding Duty, and that ho who
failed to perform the Duty, forfeited
the Right. The rebels renounccd
their allegiance and refused to perform
their duty to their country, They
now, after being compelled to submit
to the authority of tho Government
have tho cfProntery to claim their for,
mcr rights.
