THE SOUTH.

Shall We have Union or disuuioti !
That is the question upon which the
people of Pennsylvania, and of all the
Northern States, must decide by theit
votes in the coming elections. The
modified plan of the Senate caucus pre-
poses to delay the restoration of the Un-
ion no less than the more Objectionable
proposition of the Committee of Fifteen.
To subserve the purposes of Republican
politicians the Union is to be kept di-
vided. To enable them to carry out
this infamous purpose they rely upon
their ability to keep alive in the North
feeling Of hatred toward the South
IF they cannot succeed in that the peo.
pie will decide against them and their
schemes by an overwhelming majority.
Will the people OF Pennsylvania still be
led bliudfolded by passion?
The war is over. All the purposes
proposed to be accomplished have been
successfully achieved. II the Union is
not restored it is the fault of the Radi.
Gals in Congress. Slavery, whether the
cause of the rebellion or not, has been
wiped out. The news, even as publish
ed in the Radical newspapers, shows
that the people Of tie entire South ac-
cept the results of the war, and are will
ling to bear true allegiance to the Con-
stitution of the United States. Tho
slaves are we'll treated and arc only do.

agents of the Freedmcn's Bureau aud
Northern spectators interfere between
them and the whites There is no ami
mostly on the part Of the negroes to-
wards their former owuers. Even in
Memphis riots it has been proscd to the
satisfaction Of the Radicals themselves
that citizens and returned Confederate
soldiers had no hand in the disturbanc-
es. The whites of the South are priu-
cipally concerned about repairing the
ravages of the war. They arc building,
planting, and doing their best in every
way to better their material condition.
What is the proper course for the
people of Pennsylvania to pursue under
such circumstances Do not our duty
and our interests alike demand that we
should lay aside passion aud prejudice
and aid these people with whom we so
lately waged war. Their section is part
of our common country-they an impor.
tant part ola people with whom we have
common interests and a common destiny
We would not permit them to separate
from us. Now that they are ready to
coalescc with us, shall VIC act as if all
our professed love for the Union was
sham and lie j?
Pennsylvania is closely allied With
the South. Joining Maryland aud Vir
ginia along her entire extended South.
ern border, she is geographically united
to that section. Heretofore the inter.
course between our people and their
Southern ueighbors has been most
friendly. They have married and iu.
termarried, until everywhere a thou-
sand ties of kindred and of blood have
knit them together in bonds of tn,

And the people of the South, throwing
aside the lethargy and supineness which
has well-nigh disqualified them tor all ae-
tivity, may take heart again and enter up
on the cultivation of their fertile fields, and
the development Of their mighty resources
and put their houses in order to assume the
character, the dignity, and the honors which
belong to American citizens. They may
now begin to indulge the anticipation OF a.
glorious future, and renew their hopes, of
coming prosperity. Thank God, the Union
may now indeed be reunited, and we may
once more claim partof The glory and res

We are not his partisan, and his own,
declaration, announcing his intention to-
retire from public lite at the expiration Of
his present term, has removed him from the
arena as well as the influence of more party
organization, even if we belonged TO any
such. But the same manly spirit (which
has ever inspired the people Of the South

and which led them into revolution against
overwhelming odds, wifi now cause them
TO rally to the support of the man who cam
forget his own personal grievances In the
noble spirit Of patriotic devotion to princi-,
pie, and unfagging determination to per-
petuate the Union as the Constitution made
1t. BY every means at their command, they
will hasten TO uphold his hands, and, by,
every effort in their power, they win sus-.
tain him In his undertaking. ''p 10 "'Dl
There is Indeed, to secure the coming Of
the new era which the President ID endeav-ii
oriDg to toinaugurate, only that the conseTY-a
alive masses at the North shall follow our
example, and bury mutual animosities In
one grand uprising to put down faeti0n,
discOrd, and fanaticism, no matter where
they may exist. We have faith in the be-
lief that, it will be done. The President
will find, in the returned soldiers OF the
Union, such coadjutOrs as will give him un.ii
conqucTable strength. They have witness
ed the tortitude and high bearing of our
people even in their darkest disasters, and
they have witnessed the beroistn OF our
soldiers In the fiereest conflicts. 1di b9iEis
They will not now hesitate to sustain a.
measure which will make allies of their
adversaries and friends of former foes. 1t
is impossible to repress the reflection that
the exhibition of such spirit as the Pres%Q
ident has manifested will do more to re-
unite in feeling, interest, and affiliation,
the long separated sections than anything
else he could have done. If such spirit
had been manifested when Virginia sent b
her Commissioners to Washington in 1861,
the Old Dominion never would have passed
her ordinance of secession, and the last five
years of conflict would have passed in 4
peace, without the drawing of single q
sword. ., ......., r,l- sf.,
The lonely prisoner, sin his stony cell at
Fortress Monroe" would never have left
his seat in the Senate if his repeated ap-1
peals had been heard in this spirit; and,
alas, the fertile fields of Virginia would
never have been deluged with blood, and
devastated. But the five years we have
passed are only speck of time in the long
ages through which this Republic Is des-
tined to endure; and if the sacrifice of
each section shall bring about a better un-
derstanding and more fraternal feelings,
the experience will not be valueless. lgi

The Present and Future.

"He believed the country would be re-
stored to its former condition of prosperity
and harmony. His only work
was the restoration of the country, through.
reconciliation and harmony of the nation.
We are steadily accomplishing the work"
The above quotations are from the report
of President JOhnson's response to the
Baltimore committee, and we quote them
merely to pin on a remark or two derived
from short interview with gentleman OF
this city, who has just returned from his
second trip to the South, in the employ of
the freedmen's Aid Society, which acts in
harmony and conjunction with the Freed
mems Bureau. The political sentiments of
the gentleman referred to, and his constant d
labOrs for the freedmen, relieve him from g
any suspicion of political bias in sympathy
with rebels, or prejudice against the cause
of the freedmen; and these facts give to
his words the deepest significance. rG
This gentleman-we need not call by
name, he being so well known from his
efforts for freedmen-we beg our citi-
zens to seek an opportunity to converse
with, and learn what he heard and saw up
on his visit South. His last journey ex-, p,
tended as far as Selma, Alabama, and he re-
ports matters contirmatory of Mr.. john
sons utterances, when the President says
the work of restoration, through harmony
and reconciliation, is steadily going on.
This gentleman reports that the employ
ment of freedmen is scOnstantly on the in
crease that the business men of the South
"accept the situation" cheerfully, fast be-
coming not only reconciled to the obliter-
alton of slavery, but glad that it is put out
of the way. In this respect there was
great Improvement apparent at his last
visit over the former one, and the freed
men are experiencing constantly inn
proved condition from this fact. ''@'
The bitterness, now, is almost entirely
with clergy and the women, but the masses 1
of the people are adapting themselves "a,
the changed condition of affairs with great
rapidity, and the cases of outrage upon
Northern men are but the exceptions to
the decent treatment they receive gener-
ally at the hands of those so lately at
war with them.
This gentleman, from his personal obser-
vatiOns in discharge of his duties in con-
'nection with the cause of the freedmen, is
satisfied the course OF President johnson is
the true course; that it Is terrible mis-
take for the friends of the freedmen to
differ with him, and that the Presidents
general sentiments, as to the proper way to
bring the South back into honest harmony
with the Government, are the correct ones.
But we shall not venture to reproduce at
large the views of the gentleman we refer
to, but hope. our citizens-many of them, 10
at least-will take an opportunity OF con-
versing with one who can be charged with
no selfish, mercenary motive, but WHOM
from actual experience, has arrived at aaI
conclusion different, probably, from thathe
would have arrived at without the adVant- I
age of actual contact with the Southern
white people and the treedmen.-Cl Cleveland

[From the Chicago Republican, Feb. 2s.I

The President stands in mortal fear of his
life. In his harangue to the mob yesterday
he charges the men who have opposed his
policy with "having assassination broodng
In their bosoms," and asks if one martyr
will not suffice; if theblood of Lincoln was
not sufficient sacrifice; if another victim
must be striken down in his place. Mr..
johnson may dismiss his fears; he has pass
ed the point of danger. .r.

The Temper of the South.


Never, since the surrender of the South
ern armies, have the people of the South
had such cause to feel the long forgotten
charm of cheerfulness as they have to-day.
Never have they had less cause to be dis
satisfied with that result. The calm, con-
scientious and dispassionate message of
the President in returning to the Senate,
IN which it originated, the bill ito estab-
lish bureau for the relief of freedmen and
refugees, and for other purposes" is con-
ceived in such spirit of catholic patriot
ism, and embodes such cogenT reasoning
and unanswerable logic with such elevated
devotion to the country at large, that we
may well take courage to repeat the almost
forgotten maxim, MA DeSperaRdum de Re
pu6hca."
When such paper emanates from the
Executive of the Republic, it brings us
back again to the better days of its history,
and we poor, disfranchised, and discarded
outcasts from a once common patrimony
may find comfort in the hope that we even
we, may shave country now" 1t not the
jubilant outburst OF sectional triumph
which finds voice in our congratulation,
but it is the advent of that long-deterred
but ever-hoped tor time, when some tangi-
BILE evidence should be given that the days
of domineering despotism were ended, and
that the Republic was once more, ipdeed,
entering upon its career OF freedom, glory
and prosperity. 1t has come. We may
now indulge the belief that the gloomy
days are over. wt #t

sought. At the last moment Denmark
was prepared to do justice to the claims
of Germany, and we held that the war
was consequently an unjust war on the
part of the German Powers. But they
had originally a good right to complain
that Denmark had made engagements
with them which she was not willing to
fulfill. (Hear.)
The Earl of HARDwICKE desired TO ask
o question of the noble lord the Foreign
Secretary which had been asked in
another place. 1t was stated in the
place to which he alluded by a distin-
guished member of the Government that
it would be unadvisable for Her Males
tvs Government to enter alone into any
communication with o view Of offering
their good offices to the Powers which
were now on the very verge of war.
Now, it struck him that it was very re-
markable that England had not power or
weight enough to appear before Europe
as arbiter, well-wisher or good adviser,
but, forsooth, must 60 to some neigh
b%ouring great Power and say "Will you
go with US, or will you not? because
we are so feeble that we can do nothing
alone" Was that the state in which we
were placed?
The Earl Of CLARENDoN.-I can tell
my noble friend that this is not the state
in which we are placed. I don't know
what report my noble friend read, but it
certainly was not correct. [ suppose
that between Governments, as between
individuals, an inquiry beforehand is ne
cessary, whether your advice, if given,
would be acceptable Or not; otherwise,
if offered, it would be more likely to do
mischief thanif you let the matter alone.
Long ago we took means to ascertain
whether oar good Offices would be &C.
ceptable and useful, and the answers we
got were not encouraging. Tile matter,
therefore, was not pressed, for we had
ample means of knowing that it would
not be useful to do so. We addressed
ourselves to other Powers to know
whether they took the same view as we
did, and when we found that we should
be left in the position in which we found
ourselves at first we did not press our
good offices further. Gfear.)
The subject then dropped, and the
House adjourned at a quarter-past 6.
