Seward sustalns the PresIdent.

The 0regonian has a dispatch, dated New
York, Febs %, which furnishes a synopsis of a
speech made by Secretary Seward the previous
evening:
Mr.. Seward said Congress agonzed over the
question of reconstruction, not because the
war has not come out right, but because they
have not individually had a had hand in
bringing it to happy termination. hope no
serious difficulty, from the conviction that there
never was and never can be any successful pro-
cess for restoring harmony among the States ex-
cept the one with which the President has avowed
he himself is satisfied. The President is in har-
mony with all the States that were in the rebel
lion, and the executive and judicial departments
are resuming their functions. Loyal represen-
tatives, more or less, from these States, are now
standing at the door of Congress, and have been
standing there for three months, asking to be
admitted as States, which, against their earnest
desire, are left unre presented.
Say what you will, ithe States are already or
ganized and in harmony with our amended
Constitution, and are in earnest cooperation
with the Federal Government.
1t is impossible to reduce State to terrific
rial condition. Congress has had reconstruct
tion committee of fifteen members, who have
stopped the wheels of legislation for three
months to enable them to submit plan differ
eut from that which is now on the eve of hap
proposcd2 An amendment to the Constitu-
tion to compel the excluded States to equalize
suffrage on penalty of abridgment of their rep
rcsentation. This was no plan of reconstruc-
ton, but obstruction. A conflict in opinion
between the President and Congress in reference
to the Freedmen's Bureau is in its consequence
comparatively unimportant 1t would excite
interest if it stood alone. Both fully agree that
this Bureau was created for the transition period
between war and peace, and should cease at the
end of that period. The President thinks that
period nearly passed, and the original provision
is sufficient, while Congress thinks the original
provision needs enlargng.
| agree with the President in the hope that
the extraordinary provision is not necessary.
Ought the President be denounced in the house
Of his enemies? Much more ought lie be de-
nOunced in the house of his friends for refusing
in the absence of any necessity to occupy or
tain the exercise Of powers greater than those
which are exercised,by any imperial magistrate
in, the world. Judge ye, trust, this fault of de-
clining imperial power too rashly rendered by
a too confding Congress, may be forgiven by a
generous people.
1t will be a sad hour for the republic when
the refusal of unnecessary powers and patronage
by the President shall be held as crime. When
it shall be SO considered, the time will have
rived for setting up at the White House and i'm
pcr;al throne, surrounding the Executive with
imperial legOns.

SOUTH AMERICA.

The later accounts from the Pacific coast Of
South America, which reached US yesterday, do
not contain any warlihe operations of import
ance; but they continue to look highly favor
able to the Gillian cause.
The people Of Chill have been greatly eheered
and encouraged by the reports of the uni
yersal sympathy which the public opinion not
only in America but in Europe expresses for
them. They are firm in refusing any hEmil-
iating conditions Of peace, and insist on ample
damages being paid by Spain. The reports
from Bolivia and Venezuela ore favorable to Che
prospect OF a general alliance Of the South
American States. The Bolivian Minister at
Lima, Peru, had declared his full SYM
pathy with Peru, and expressed the
hope that bis Government would join
the offensive and defensive alliance as
soon as the civil war in his own republic
would be quelIcd. This, according to the last
advices, was expected to take place within a
few days From Venezuela, we learn that the
Chilian envoy had arrived, that the sympathy
expressed with thecause of Chill was profound
aud unanimous, and it was generally expected
that the Venezuelan Government would, with
out delay, enter the offensive and defensive al
lance.
Less gratifying TO the Government and
people of Chill is the attitude of the two Allan
tic republics of Uruguay and of the Argentine
Confederation. The former, having resolved
to enforce tie Strictcst neutrality, had diff.
Guilty with the Chilian Consul and accordingly
withdrew her exequatur. The new Govern
ment is again charged with the design to sell
the whole republic to Brazil. The Argentine
Republic likewise, to judge by the language of
its official organ, is not friendly to Chill.
But the Government Of Chill will be amply
able to dispense with the services of these two
republics, if, as is now more probable than
ever, nearly all the other republics of South and
Central America will unite themselves with
her in the bonds Of an offensive and defensive
alliance.

We are quite as sanguine as those who boast
more that all will come out right in the end.
We whom Congress faithfully represents are
majority Of the American People at the South
as well as at the North. The fierce demand for
an immediate representation Of the South in
Congress comes from those who are resolved
that the Southern People shall not be fully and
fairly represented, but only part Of them who
seek to stiAe and politically nullify the rest.
The Copperhead expectation Of speedy as
cendancy in the Government is based on Il
denial OF Human Rights to -Four Millions OF
Southern citizens-the bone and sinew OF the
South-the conservators of her loyalty-the
tillcrs OF her soil. Our opponents demand
representation for part only-wc insist on All
