IN b;s last or second letter on reconstruction
Henry Ward Beecher says: ..s.
Either the advantages of Union arc fallacious
or the continuous exclusion OF the South from
it will breed disorder make the future reunion
more difficult, and especially subject the freed
men to the very worst conditions OF society
which can we'll exist. No army, no Govern
ment and no earthly power can compel the
South to treat four million men justly If the
inhabitants whether rightly or wrongly re-
gard these men as the cause, or even the occa-
sion, of their unhappiness and dlstranchlse-
ynent But no army, or Government or power
viii be required when Southern society is res
tered. occupied and prospecting 10 the renewed
Union. Then the negro will be felt to be ne
cessary to Southern industry, and interest will
ioin with conscience end kindness in securing
Tor him favorable treatment from his fellow
citizens.
We that live at distance may think that
the social reconstruction involved in the eman.
cipation of 100000 slaves is IS ample ard
easy as it is to discourse about it. But such
change is itself one of the most tremendous
tests to which industry and society can be sub
,jected ; and to its favorable issue is required
every advantage possible. The longer, there
core, the South is left in turmoil, the worse it
,7ill be for the negro. If there were no other
reason if the white population were not our
:eiow. citizens: if we had lost all Kindness and
regard for them, and all pride Tor the Union, as
in part represented by the Southern States,
and confined our attention exclusively TO the
negro, the case would be strong, beyond my
power Of expression, for an early resumption of
Federal relations with all the States. If this is
