Pressure and Permission.


It was Mr.. Seward, we believe, who
used these terms, as expressive of the
proper policy to be employed in bring
ing the insnrrectionary States and
people. out of the slough of guilt and
despondency into which they had
brought themselves by their rebel
lion. This was before the Conserva-
tive party and movement, so-called,
were inyentadr OF was prehaply he,
fore any scheme Of that kind had
begun to spread its misty clouds be-
fore the Secretary's mind, to obscure
or distfact his Riewiof the policy that
was suggested by the 0byious necessiS
mind of the S6utherfi people wassi in a
state of such subdued passivity and
meekness, that only pressure and per-
suasion of the gentlest9 sort seemed
requisite. to4all the Fpdrposes of. the
situation. Permission to resume their
place in, the Union, on almost any
terms, would, if appearance could be
relied on, have been satisfactory to
the beaten and terrified leaders Of, the
rebellion, the same apprehensions of
personal danger being in the minds of
those who could not fly from the
country asgof those who did. u 81
All this was changed by the Con-
servatiVeSNmovement This, allayed
their fears and, as was natural, exI
cited the most puerile and extravagant
hopes. 1T does not take much Q to
make persons in their forlorn condiZ
ton andEof their Evolutionary conceit,
extravagant in their antieipations.
They did their part thoroughly, as
outside members of the Conservative
party, towards totally frustrating all
the designs of that extemporaneous
organization and reducing their pRa
wild hopes to their true position as
silly dreams. But with the loss, they
have not regained the hopeful and
practicable tone of mind in which they
were before they became intoxicated
by shifting the Conservative ether. sH9
The consequence is such as might
easily have been foreseen, had not the
view been heInmed in by narrow party
and sectional arrangements is. The'eraI
or pressure and persuasion necessari-
ly recurs, and recurs under circum-
stances that render pressure the more
prominent of the two agencies. 1t is
almost demonstrated BY alpthe wants,
especially by those connected with
more recent political affairs, that the
late rebels have recognized no other
arbiterI or decision of the rebellion
than that of power. And there is
some indication that the unwise
prominence given in the conservative
spasmIin their behalf to persuasion.
may render the application of press
ure, in bringing them to. the proper
position, more decisive than il would
otherwise have needed to be. 1t is
some ground of eongratulation, how
ever, that civil rather than military 4
pressure, that legislation instead of
war as the agency that applies il with
good pf6spect of success. AP ittsb4rg,

that we, are, advancing over ground
