The s,,,e of Feeling a. the South.

A writer claiming to be "True Union
Man" employs the columns of the Argus to
saw that he will vote for no candidate who is
not openly for the admission of loyal South
ern representatives, adding that s'if Congress
had done its duty, they would have been adj
mitted." We are indebted to the Hon. John
Lynch for permission to publish letter adj
dressed to him last spring by man who had
just returned from an extended tour through
the Southern States. The testimony OF that
letter has since been abundantly confirmed
We know that Northern men and Union men
are compelled to leave the South now as III
1860 and 1861. We know that many Vi .no
delegates to the Union convention at lila
delpbia have left their homes with no eHpec-
tatiop of returning at present. We know that
q foreion war would at this moment be sig
nal for fresh outbreak at the South The
majority of the Southern people are not loyal
citizens as yet, but are paroled prisoners of
war. ..a ..r ifrH' ..ti #a.-
This True Union Man" mistakes entirely
the nature of the right of representation,
when he insists upon the admission of LOYAL
Southern representatives" The right of req
resentation belongs not to the representative
but TO THE PEOPLE REPRESENTED. Mr..
Harris of Maryland was as openly Seces-
sionist as any man who sat in the Richmond
Congress. Yet he was tolerated at Washing
ton because he represented a district which
had never waived its right of representation
The Southern States Observation-Disclosures
of their own free will their rights in the In
ion. They desire to resume those rights
Congress asks some proof of their loyalty, and
requires the security which will be afforded by
a Constitutional amendment recognizing the
changed state of things since the war; Until
that requirement is met, we have no security.
Texas may send loyal representatives to-day !;
how can we tell what she will do next time ?
We can never admit that disloyal communi-
ty is entitled to participate in the government
ofthis country. The proposition is too alb
surd to need any serious refutation. Con-
gress, warned by such intelligence from the
South as is now accessible to us all, could do
no less than to insist upon the mild conditions
imposed by the Amendment. Congress
would not have done its duty, il it had admit
ted representatives able or willing-like Judge
Patterson-to take the oath, and had neglect
ed to inquire into the condition of the com

A Stirling Contrast.

While Andrew johnson is making his
trumped up and ostentatious election tour
through the Northern States, it may be well
to recolect similar journey, in the opposite
direction, performed in 1861 by Abraham
Lincoln. Mr.. Lincoln went to Washington
to take charge Of the duties assigned to him.
Mr.. johnson goes to advertise "my policy
Mr.. Lincoln's speeches were a constant appeal
for the support of the country in that hour of
unprecedented danger, and for the guidance
of Almighty God in the difficult and thorny
path he had to tread. Mr. johnson deScants
upon his tavorite abstraction, "once a State,
always a State and the only allusion we have
heard Of his making to the Ruler OF the Uni
verse is the impious remark to the tailors of
Philadelphia that God Almighty was tailor
too. MIR. Lincoln was attended on his jour-
ney by men Of all shades of political opinion,
who wished him God-speei in that terrible
crisis, by Populations from Boards of Ex-
change and addresses from whole synods of
Christian churches of every denomination.
Mr.. johnson is attended by crowd of Office
seekers and sycCphants, many of whom have
been his lifelong enemies and years ago
learned to hate him, while removals from Of
and appointments of those coWardly traitors
who opposed the war and kept up "the fire in
the real" mark every step of his way.
little more than one year ago, the mortal
remains of Abraham Lincoln passed over the
same route now covered by johnson. The
train passed through thousand miles of
weeping mourners who, with bursting hearts,
laid on the bier of the nations best beloved
and most honored citizen, their passing trlb-
ute Of a tear or flower. The same men now
gaze upon the disgraceful cavalcade of Andrew
johnson with silent indignation, or turn
away with contempt, and form the inward
resolve that the dissertation premeditated by
Andrew johnson and his followers shall new

Then they. expected their lands would all be
cohhscated and they would be forced to leave
the country, as many were preparing to do, and
some dld go to Mexico and Brazil. But since
they ind their lands are not taken but restored
anu par9ons are granted to them, they are ar
rosant' denant, abusive, ready to quarrel on
any pretext, and their only talk from one end
OF the country to the other is-they "would

the government as stated by leading men and
those less pretentious, is this: GIVE us" thew

such arrogance-they cannot live there, and
whole families-are leaving, selling out at a loss
and coming North. Half dozen families
came up the Mississippi with me, from differ

What Does lac Mean

In the Presidents interview with George
L. Stevens Oct. 8, 1865, certified by himself as
correct, he used these memorable words
which were heard all over the loyal States
with thrill of joy and were hailed as proof
that the Demonstrations ofhis detection fIom
the principles of human liberty and equality
were with foundation:
My. position here is different from what it
would be if was in Tennessee.
There l should try to introduce negro suf-
frage gradually; first those who had served in
the army; those who could read and write; and
perhaps property qualification for others.
And although he added Immediately after
wards, at would not do to let the negro
have universal suffrage now, it would breed
war ofraces;' the people nevertheless chung
with tenacity to the hope that the bold, bad
men who surrounded him at that time would
never control his councils
Was President johnson honest then, or
when he advised the negroes to emigrate ?
Are we to believe his acts or his words?

The Campaign i'm York County.

To THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS:
The campaign which was opened some time
since in this district wakes warmer each day
as the election approaches. The friends of
"my policy are especially active in Kittery, and
knowing that the navy yard is vulnerable
point they are extremely anxious to possess
themselves of the stratagetic advantages
which this town affords.
The rapid changes in the small offices in
the navy yard which were expected as Sc
quel to the removal of the Naval Storekeep-
or, Col. Wentworth, have not been fully real
lied; still they work with will, assured by
the inspiration that ''the reward of the Just
is sure" A mass meeting was advertised to
be held at grove at Kittery Point, on the af-
ternoon and evening of Saturday last, to be
addressed by Hon. E. T. Pillsbury, the Demo
cratic nominee for Governor, and Hon. Bion
Bradbury. The meeting was well represent
ed by about dozen old Copperheads, who
seemed to act in the capacity Of pail bearers
on the occasion, for the prospect was GER
tainly not cheerirg-there being about so
voters, and women and children enough to
| swell the number to $50. 1t was decided to
dispense with the fed operations during the
evening, so they adjourned to a small hall to
listen to plea for the South.
Gen. Shepley addressed large audience at
| Armory Hall on Thursday last, in a speech
replete with patriotism and truth; and the
| earnest attention as well as the hearty respon-
ses given, evinced that the TRUE policy need
| only be named to be recognized and sustained
| ~ iihefe has never been time when the
masses have been more anxious to listen to
the discussion Of political issues, and surely
there has never been time when the speak
ers were better rewarded for their efforts, il
they be made in the right direction.
Hon. VIM. p Frye, of Lewiston, lectured in
Eliot on Friday evening, and in York on Sat
mday. All who hear him must accord to
him the honor of being one OF the most eiiec-
tive and argumentative speakers of our State
Vice President Hamlin spoke to a large as
sembly last evening at this place, and although
he said he had not spoken in public for two
years, he spoke last night like one who under
stands the position, and judging from the ap
plause, his audience understood it too, by the
time he had finished, if not before Many
were anxious to know how the Vice Presi-
dent would speak-"on which sde"-and
Hon. d. w. Gocoh. late Naval Officer at Bos-
ton, was present to learn the fact, as he said;
but few will be in doubt any longer on this
point, as MIR. Hamlin will inform the voters of
York county, who can and do always trust
him, where he stands to-day and what policy
he supports. 1t is the peoples policy, not
that Of traitors but of loyal men. la
The strength Of the Union party is increas-
ing every day, and even in this most doubt
full part ofthe State, the First District will not
only give large majority for Mr.. Lynch, but
even old Kittery will surprise some who are
waiting for position in the navy yard by
supporting ''my policy" PIzANo.
