THE POOR WHITES NEXT.

Having got The niger job under fair
headway, there seems 70 be diaposition,
about Cape Cod and vicinity, to do up the
poor white man. A writer for the At
lantic Monthly for February has been
through the South and gives his views on
Reconstruction. lie says:
1.-THE injustice done to thres-fourths Of
them (the poor whites) was hardly less
than that done to all the slaves. There
are two kinds Of slavery, and negro slav-
err was only more wicked and debasing
than white slavery. 1t is the national
duty to deal with these States in such
manner as will most surely exalt the lover
and middle classes Of their inhabitants.
The nation must teach them knowledge
of their own rights. while it also teaches
them respect for its rights and the rights
of man for man"
We we're satisfied that our time would
come nsxt! Here We have been, poor
devil of an editor, poor white man vha
was left by the war with the small fortune,
Of string halted eonestoga, pair Of
boots, and a calico shirt, sitting on our
tripod in vague state Of uncertainty
about our rights, and just as We we're
about giving up ell attempts to fathom
them, We discover that the nation having
reconstructed the niger, considers it
solemn duty 70 reconstruct Us. We ara
to be Taught in the first place . knowl-
sdge Of our rights" Very good for we
candidly admit that We possess no knovl-
edge on that point, at the present. We
are. next, to be taught " respect for ita
rights" Very good again for we know
nothing which needs more respect. Then
We are to be taught .the rights Of man
for man" We need enlightenment on
this point, for we don't understand the
writer.
The plan by which we are 70 be taught
is the 'tblock game system; on one side
of the block Is refreshing picture Of .
nigger under the lash and on the other
side some such moral questions and an
swers as--a Who made the old Constitu-
ton, that league with sin and covenant
with hell 7" "George Washington Q
alaveholder" Who made the new Con-
stitution-ths higher law" 'fThaddeus
Stevens and Sumner" Whose sou"
says Mr.. Thad. Stevens, +" is lost in ever
lasting flames 7" Chief Justice Ia
ney's" " Whose soul is marching on 10
ry-hallelujah Z" John Browns"
{" Who burned Thad. Stevens Iron
Worksl" "RE. Lee.a Who bruised
Summers back 7" g Preston Brooks
By this system We hope to get along
finely. The chief difficulty in the way i
4n old ld-fasLioned idea Of ours that nigger
is nigger-not colored person, bus
black Niger man, from the banks of
the Niger; not negre, as the French call
him, but downright old Anglo Saxon,
thick skulled, woolly headed, soft-shin,
aat-footed, perfumed niger, and nothing
but nigger. If that idea can be wiped
out, we think our brain win be tGbula
rosa fo,the experiment Of Yankee school
masters. Come on, gentlemen asasoon
IS you get through with the nigger. The
lower and middle classes of the South,
which have produced such idiots as Pat
rick Henry, Andrew jackson, Henry
Clay, John G. Calhoun and Andrew John
son, need your guiding nd!- Aoat.

almost sure to be overthrown as soon a,
the head OF the Government or any party
leader who can muster force for a cup
de main is willing to run some small risk
for absolute power I"
think i fortunate thing for the
country, that the Radical faction is so de
men,ed as to pick quarrel with tbs
President because he refuses TO be theil
instrument to overturn the Constitution
and substitute in its place a military des
potism, and to stake their political for,
tunes upon the monstrous vices and fol
lies of the Trumbull bill. For, in doing
30. they do but insure their own defeat
and consequently, the restoration of law
order. and peace, and revival of national
respect for legal government aud national
love for liberty by law.
Even the emancipated negro, for whose
sake it is pretended this wrong is done
will not long fail to see the hypocrisy and
fraud of the transaction. They vii! see
that While they are cajuled with the pre-
tense of liberty aud equity before the law
this wicked bill subjects them to the pow
er of military overseers, excludes them
from all legal protection, denies them the
right to appeal to the courts Of law toI
redress Of grievances, aud requires the
agents and atfcers of the bureau to :. take
jurisdiction of all cases which concern
them and their interests.

A HowLINa DERvIsH.--As speci-
men Of loyal clerical dsnunciatiOn of the
President, we publish the following sx-
tract from letter to the Sacramento
Union, dated Boston, February 18th:
/. Some Of our clergy "let themselves
out" on politics generally, and the Presi-
dent in particular, yesterday. Rev. D.
a. Wasson, Theo. Parker's successor,
took tie text, Woe to thee, O land,
when thy King is child" and said that
President johnson was . greater traitor
than Benedict Arnold or Judas Iscariot.
The latter he said, was conscious Of his
guilt, and, repenting, hanged himself;
but johnson, after betraying the party
who placed him in his position, glorisd in
his shame. But Rev. G.. n. Hepwofth.
pastor of the Church of the Unity, took
the palm for the boldness and bitterness
of his utterances. He said: To-day
we weep over our murdered President,
for God knows we have no President of
the United States at this hour. The
President had hinted At assassination.
O. Mr.. President, you will never be killed.
Only the good and great die. You will
live forever. He calls himself . self.
made man. We can we'll believe it, for
it is no credit to have made him. Hep
worth lamented the choice of johnson for
Vice President, and said of him He
had never dared to say or think that

NOW AND THEN.

One year ago any rlan who would have
the temerlty to in,imae that Mr. Lincoln
met his death at the instigation of any
member of the Republican party, OF that
his assassin was in league with any but
Southern rebels, would have put his life
in imiuent danger from the loyal mob, or
would have been almost certain to be ar
rested and put IN prison by the military
authorities should such intimation or ex-
preston come to their knowledge The
war was at an end then AZ much a. it is
now, and hence there was no excuse in
military necessity for summary proceed
ings against political offenders. Now a
Radical paper in Chicago distinctly
charges President johnson with consplr-
ing with Booth and instigating the assas.
sination of Lincoln To compass his own
ambitious ends, and enters into an elabo-
rate statement of the facts and circum-
stances upon which the charge is predi.
Gated. Such are the charges in Radical
ethics, ard all must conform to the charge
under the penalty of vituperate abuse OF
bodily assault To question the immacu-
late purity and wisdom of the President
then was treason for which no punish
ment was to vIndictive. 70 assail the
President now and to charge him with IN
famous crime, is only an evidence of loyal
aud patriotic zaal4 The masses who blind
ly foiIog their Radical leaders are swayed
in solid columns from one extreme of ia
uatic absurdIty to the other, with no more
effort at reasoning or discriminating for
themselves than 50 many dumb brutes.

most inclined to the belief that they are

A REMINIscENcE.-T Mr.. Sumner
and Thad Stevens have personal spite
at the individual whom the Union League
in its last annual report calls !" the i'm
prisoned President Of the Confederacy, /"
We know very well. But it is only with
in day or two We have discovered its
cause. On the 26th Of January. 1860,
in debate in the Senate of the United
States, Mr.. Jefferson Davis, then Sena-
tor from Mississippi. said:
& l do not treasure disagreeable things.
I am not like those who Gull and gather
and stick into little scrap books passages
and sentences in order that some day or
ether they may be woven together and
presented to the Senate and sent forth to
excite sentiments of hostility, Of which
we have too much
Mr.. Sumner could not forgive this. In
the same speech Mr.. Davis said:
e / honor those old pilgrims who frst
settled in New England. ] honor the
brave men who fought the battles of the
Revolution. honor those who disdained
to taint their blood by amalgamation With
the lower races Of mankind, Whatever
dignity there is in New England now,
Whatever there 10 of power, whatever
there is of progrcss-and of these ell
there is very much--it is due 20 the fact
that those old Puritans kept the Anglo
Saxon blood pure and untainted. Ifthey
had had an amalgamating policy, if they
had intermarried with the baser races,
they neyer would have boasted Of the
triumphs thsy have achieved. So much
for the policy Of the past compared Witl

MASSACHUSETTS ON THE RAMPAGE
The Legislature of Massachusetts, de-
olares that the President has insulted
: her honored representative" This is
the first intimation we have had that it
was possible to insult Charles Sumner.
We knew he might be kicked, beaten.
cuffed and even spltten upon, but We did
not know that it was possible TO insult
him. He will whine like a whipped
child and go round the world showing his
sores, but he has never shown any evil
dence that he knew how man feels
when really insulted. But We presume
that it is all right for Sumner to insult
the President, all right to declare that he
sends whitewashing messages to Con-
gress-all right to intimate that he ought
to be beheaied-these fulminations are
all right, because they come from the
members of that Immaculate and holy
parry which embodies all the virtue, all
the morality and all the religion of the
country. But woe to any one who insin-
yates that these Abolition Disunionists
are not the very acme Of all that is great
and patriotic. But If Massachusetts feels
ipsultsd, why don't she secede Il will
not be the first time, Do let her secede.
We should be rejoiced to have her raise
the goldfish flag over Faneull Hall. There
are some good and true men in her bor-
ders, but We have room for those patriots
in New York, and would welcome them
with pleasure among US. With the pat
riotic element out Of her borders, We
could then turn her over as receptacle
for Abolitionists, Disunionists, free mig
gers, tree lovers, &C., &C., and all the un-
easy, discontented spirits, who desire TO
make mongrel pandemoniun Of our be-
loved Iapd.- Day Book.
