Reconstruction and Love.

Last Sunday Rev. Henry Ward Beechel
preached an excellent sermon, as he always
does, whether every word he utters is wise and
correct or not. This particular sermon was
from the text "OvercOme evil with good"; and
we are told that near the close Mr.. Beecher
docking around with numerous glance" said:
"I don't know whether I'd better make any
further application of this principle or not l
have not been very popular with my people
during the past year. l have failed to carry
them altogether with me on some public ques-
tions-and l am sorry for them. But yet,
must say, that cannot escape the direct bear.
ing of this gospel law" and then, after briefly
referring to the doctrines of Hon. ThaddeuS
Stevens as "the doctrines of Bellal," Mr.
Beecher continued:
"The North has chance to show grace, and
love, and magnanimity. How | longed to see
it Both Congress and the President should
have been pressed to union. l had hoped to
see the North showing her superiority in
Christian nobleness and generous forgiveness
but have been ,sappOinted. Ithas not been
done. You can no more change rebels to hon
est men by casting them out and turning them
away, than you can convert the wicked by
building up a wall of separation between them
and the good-shutting them out from the very
influences that should be brought to bear upon
them. If thine enemy hunger, feed him ifhe
thirsts, give him drink, for in so doing thou
shalt heap Goals of fire upon his head. Ee not
overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good
There go vote that. You have been talking
it long enough do it. You have been praying
it long enough try it's
We suppose that Mr. Beecher's text was just
as vital and obligatory during the war of the
rebellion as now, and that if he had quoted
it then he would have added with equal ap-
propriateness: There, go; shoot that. You
have been talking it long enough ; do IT," DC.
In that case, as we are to infer from Mr.. Beech
er's hearty support of the war, "the Christian
nobleness of the North' was not incompatible
with the most vigorous use of armaments for
subduing the rebellion Its true, we gave food
and drink to a portion of our enemies, namely,
those captured, (and therefore overcame the
evil of Andersonvile with good,) but that did
not exhaust the whole Of our treatment of our
enemies, inasmuch as we drew our rule of ac-
ton from the entire body of Christian ethics,
and not from the literal wording of a single
sentence.
With regard to the present national situation
what is wanted is not mere sentiment or affec-
tionate expressions, but just and wise measures.
Would any amount Of "grace and love" on our

cg-The Richmond Wing comes out in a long
editorial in opposition to emigration from the
Northern States and the introduction of Nor
thern capital. 1t says: alabama, within one
year of peace, begins with five thousand Nor
thern cotton planters. 1t is frightful to think
where she will end. There is not a single
Southern State in which this process, this fatal
process of New-England colonization is not
going on. We must stop it, and from this hour
we must rasolve to stop it, before it enwarps
and crushes us in its anaconda folds. We do
not mean that it must be stopped by resort to
vIole nee or any unwarrantable means, but by
refusing, as we have the right to do, TO sell our
lands or any part of them, or lease or tenant
them out to radical enemies of the South.''

part exercise immediately the evils of Calhoun
ism which have been poisoning the South for
thirty years, and which now impel their lead
ing men. like Mr.. Stephens, to claim that Sc
cession is still right, though inexpedient, and
that the seeded States have complete right
to resume their places in the Union IN defiance
of any conditions to be imposed by the General
Government Love alone does not meet the
case-athough we maintain that no vlctors IN
prolonged and gigantic war ever began TO
show SO much real clemency and freedom from
passion as the people of the North are now
showing. They Go not desire to punish, not
even to humiliate, the South; They only desire
to SO readmit the seeded States as shall best
provide for their good i'll common with that OF
the whole country. To this end, wise and
comprehensive craftsmanship is needed and
that is something, we fear, which is not to be
supplied by brief quotation, nor even by a
fervent exhortation, NO matter how kindly It Is
meant-Troy Times.

oB-One of the most popular methods of de-
Tending slavery adopted in the South is the al
legation that in spite of its existence Virginia
produced such men as Washington and Jeffer-
son. But their antagonism to the institution
and profound conviction of its injurious effects
upon society are carefully kept out of view
Great men may rise to cminence and usefulness
in spite of the existence of any evil prejudial to
the masses,and it is folly to judge an industrial
system by the position attained by the excep-
tonal few,instead ofits effect upon the geneeal
welfare--PreSS

ey When couple Ofroving N Northern diplo
matists visited Richmond few months before
the collapse of the Rebellion, and obtained an
interview with JefDayis,th enthroned in the
majesty of confederate leadership, he declared
in speaking of the national standard, that '.he
once loved the old flag, but he regarded it now

A similar feeling prevails among rebel politici-

only justification they can urge for it is that
the Government no longer permits them to tyr

e%-At the last session of the Legislature an
act was passed Incorporating the Citizens AS

Eight directors were also elected and it was

They say that purely missionary labors among
our depraved population have not gone far
enough, and leave much to be attempted by
other agencies. With this idea the association
proposes to erect series of comfortable Gotta
ges, which will be let at low rates to the poorer
classes of our people, for whose continued anne
loration constant endeavors will be made. A
hospital for the treatment ofinnebriate5 is to be
established, where efforts will be made to re-
claim and restore TO usefulness those who have
become subject to this fearful course. They
regard intemperance as a disease, which will
yield to proper treatment. To carry out these
objects the association requires at least three
hundred thousand dollars, althoRgb operations

with the release of Jefferson Davis, and even the
much agitated question of his failing health, OF
improving health,are fast ceasing to be a matter

vigilance over his movements, ceases all the
anticipated release or escape, and visitors So

The CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
The second section of the new constitutional
amendment will not only prevent the
Southern States from obtaining represen-
tation based on freedmen who are not al
lowed to vote, but it will likewise prevent
representation based on white male popu-
Iation ostracised by the property quaIif,
cation. Thus such anti-republican and
aristocratic laws as were maintained up to
the time of the rebellion in South Carolina
will be counteracted; and while every stat
will be allowed to regulate the question o
suffrage for itself, none will be permitted tc
increase its influence in the national coun,
ellis by class of citizens whom it debars
from participation in It's elections.
