IOOK IN THE FUTURE.

The Radicals assert that it is not safe
TO have the Southern States in the
Union. The question--is it safe to have
them out of the Union is not asked.
The inference is inevitable that they re-
gard them as harmless only when
stripped Of civil rights and treated as
subject provinces This may be reason
able, il may be logical, but we fail TO see
it 10 that light 1t would be just as log
ical to maintain that an enemy is less to
be feared than a friend, and that to dis
arm one Of resentment you must kick
him ont into the cold as you would a
dog No doubt the recognition of the
Southern States as members of the
Union would be unsafe in one respect
1t would be quite unsafe for the aims and
ends of the Radical party, and this is
probably what it means by its reference
10 Tie subject of safety.
But it might prove fatal error to
proceed with policy meant to be per
manent) upon an assumption that the
meaner the South is treated the less dan
gerous il will be to the Union What
would the Union be worth to our people
if denied its benefits2 Held as subjects,
they could neither love, respect,
nor endure it, and would have not
only the disposition, but the right
TO revolt against it. The moment it be-
came fixed fact that their present status
was TO be perpetuated as a permanent
policy on the part Of the Government,
that moment the fires of revolution would
begin to blaze in eight million bosoms.
Preparation would begin, slowly, eau
tiously, but efectually, for another death
struggle for liberty. Private industry
aud local public policy wonld derive
their inspiration from, and be shaped TO
that ultimate end. The youth as they
learned 10 lisp, would learn to curse a
government that, protesting to be free,
kept millions in slavery The policy
of encouraging emigration would be
adopted with view of filling up the
South with race of bold, hardy men
ostensibly for agricultural, but really for
hostile purposes. A quarter Of century
Of intelligent, energetic preparation
would render the South strong enough 10
cope with the North
But how different would be the effect
Of another policy Magnanimity on the
part Of the North illustrated in the resto-
raiion of the South to her old place in
tie Union, would bring back the lost
brotherhood Of the nation and crown the
Union with blessings never enjoyed by
any people on earth. There would not
be again such scenes as the four
years Of the war produced. There would
be no more revolution and no more sec
iional hatred, because there would be no
occasion for them. Whatever our
immense territory is capable of produc-
ing, would be produced
Our known, but undeveloped resour-
ces. would be called forth, and in the
midst Of the general and individual pros
perity and happiness, war would be re-
membered no more. Ifnot the masters

CINCINNATI AND THE PRESIDENT.

We are glad to see that despite the
studied Insult offered by the City Council!
of Cincinnati to the President, the mer-
chants paid him the courtesy of pub
lie reception. 1t is probable that they
were impelled by motives different from
those that Influenced the city authorities.
They could not fail to see, and seeing to
feel, that the refusal of these worthless
to honor the President, would affect the
trade of the city and work a material in
jury to themselves To preserve their
pockets, not to express any political SEN
timent, it may be, they went through the
forms of respecting the first officer of
the Government The population Of
that city are hostile to us, very hostile.
A minority, composed of trading men,
may not be. The moral influence is
against US, because officials elected by
the popular voice condemn and brand
US and our friends as outlaws. We re-
peat the question we propounded on
Wednesday shall We enrich our enemles2
Shall We build up hostile city? Can
we not buy in St Lonis and Louisville ?
If our merchants IciH trade at Cincin-
natl, can the Southern people not with
draw their patronage from themf We
think SO.

WHAT VIRGINIA HAS DONE.


derful history. An able journal, the
Cincinnati Union, reverts'to it, and re-
veals some facts that, generally known,
are little considered The close, it OBJ
serves, of the Revolutionary War found
the Government deeply in debt Most
of the States owned large tracts of West
ern lland-the General Government
owned none. OF all the States, Virginia
held the hest title to the largest amount
Upon the invitation of Congress, Vir-
ginia ceded all her title TO all the lands
owned by her northwest of the river
Ohio, and which, with the exception OF
the strip now known as the Western Re
serve, and portion set apart as bounty
to her soldiers, embraced the territory
now forming the State of Ohio, and all
of Indiana, illinois, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, and those portions of Iowa and Min
nesota not embraced with the Louisiana
purchase, and this Virginia did, in order
that the United States might by their
sale, pay the debts contracted during the
Revolution.
Virginia was then the leading Slave
State of the South. But in order that
the General Government might the
sooner sell their lands and realize their
value she agreed that slavery, except
for the punishment of crimes of which
the party should first be convicted,
should be forever excluded from the
Territory And with wise forethought
for the benefit of the purchasers, and
the lands thus donated, Virginia also
agreed that one section of land in each
township--one thirty-sixth part of the
entire gift--should be appropriated for
the use of schools.
The State of Connecticut, claiming the
land embraced within the Western Re-
serve of Ohio, refused to make similar
gift. She retained her lands and sold
them, and placed the proceeds in her own
Treasury, TO be used as school fund
not for the people of the Western Re
serve, but for those of Connecticut alone;
and to this day the interest, We under
stand is so used Not many years since,
Congress, by law, donated out Of the gift
Of Virginia, six hundred and forty acres
IF land to each township in the Western
Reserve to the inhabitants thereof, for
school purposes, in order 10 put them
lpon similar footing with the inhab-
ANTS of other parts of the great North

With the single exception of one Senator
from Indiana and one from Wisconsin,
every Senator from the States, thus
'ormed. out of territory given by the
State of Virginia to the General Govern
nent to aid in paying The debts of the
revolution, now deny the right Of Vir
gina to a representation in Congress
and in this unholy alliance the Senators
rom all the States of the Northwest,
majority of the members of the lower
branch of Congress pursue the same
course, and the result is, that the Consti-
ution, which secures the right of each
State to representation in Congress, is

The Heavenly Secret.

Mr.. George Cooper sends the Round
Table this stately and sustained poem of
the grave theme of immortality:
Does the dark and soundless river
Stretch so wide
The homeward-rolling tide,
Over which have crossed
Our loved and early lost,
That their unsealed eyes may never see
The further side,
Where still, amid this toll and misery,
We hide?
Is the iealm of their transition
Close at hand
To this our living land?
Nearer than we dream?
Can they catch the CLEAN
OF our smiles, and hear the words we
speak?
And looking deeper than our eyes may
seek,
Our needs?
Do they mingle i'll our gladness?
Do they grieve,
When ways of good we leave?
DO they know each thought and hope?
While We in shadows grope,
Can they hear the futures high behest,
Yet lack the power
TO lead us from our ill, or to arrest
The hour?
When they find us bowed in sorrow,
Do they sigh?
Or when earth passes by,
For them do they forget
The cares that here beset
Their well-beloved? Or do they wait
% be it thus)
And watch beside the golden gate
For us?
We are yearning for their secret:
Though we call
No answers ever fall
Upon our dullard ears
TO quell our nameless fears
Yet, God is over all, whate'er may be,
And trusting so,
Patience, my heart! little while, and we
Shall know.
