one vast cemetery, and vale of
sighs and tears" and concludes by
appealing to them in cry for "mercy
on both races.
This is all very well, but the INTEL
Hge,acer is wasting it's piteous appeals
on such cabal. But, beyond this,
such appeals certainly betray timi-
dity never before exhibited by that
journal towards the radical faction,
and, therefore, we would like to know
what does it mean. Is it growing weak
at the knees; and does it apprehend a
continuance of the radicals in power?
1t looks So The people of the South
neither ask nor expect justice, much
less 'mercy" from the radicals; and
the hatelligence, does not represent
them in such vain supplications as
those from which we have quoted.
They ask nothing but their equal and
constitutional rights, but even these
they do not ask at the hands of Thad.
Stevens and his party. AS for other
matters, they are able to take care of
themselves.
The South has not assumed the
attitude of supplication to the men
who have treated them with insult
and contume1y. Her people stand
upon the Constitution, calmly await
ing the time when the people of the
North will restore them to their just
rights and participation in the Affairs
of the Government; but they can
remain as they are, for the present
generation, at least, rather than beg
the crumbs that Thad. Stevens ser
wants might fling to them. The In
teligence'' has made a grave mistake
at least, we think so-if it assumes
that the Southern people could sane
ton its cry for mercy and pity from
the revolutionists, who would over
turn the Government and shed the
best blood of the country to accom-
plish their ends.

Mr. SEcAR's CLA1M.--The largo
farm of the Hon. Joseph Segar, at
Hampton, Va. has been occupied by
the Federal troops since 1861. now
five years, neither the rent for which.
nor the destruction and use of per
sonal property, valued ut Si0, 900, has
he ever been compensated for At
present, he is unable to obtain in
demnity, owing to the ruling of Gen.
MelSS, that claimant must not ONLY
himself be loyal, but that his claim
must originate in n loyal State. This
decision is being considered by the
Secretary of War. rs it affects the
vital interests of large class of
Cnionists. whose only dependence
was necessarily taken by onr troops,
but who have been unable to obtain
redress. The proclamation of peace
of President Johnson, on the "a of
April. 1866, allows about four
months consideration, bnt back OF
this date, it is claimed, compensation
cannot go.-Ner York IriLu,4e.

What Does 1t Meang

The appeal of the National LateAi-
9encer to the radicals, referred to else
where, strikes us as very singular,
and conveys a very unpleasant i'm
preston. In some of it's passages it
is almost piteous in it's pleadings for
mercy at the hands of the aforesaid
leaders, Itreminds them that though
the Southern people did commit the
"crime" of rising against the Govern
ment, they "have been more severely
punished than any. people in modern
history" that "their wealth has been
consumed" tells them how sthe
pride Of the South has been hum
bled"-how "the military power has
been and is still held over them
how 'their whole land has been made

CASTING PEARLS BEFORE SWINE.
The National AteNiyence,, of the 9th,
has an editorial headed "An Appeal to
the Radical Leaders, in which it
tells them that they must SEQ "their
policy IS producing the most disa>
trous consequences in the South.
The Intc2igencer does not believe that
they have set purpose to bring
about such collisions as that of New
Orleans. 1t reminds them of the
horrors OF st. Domingo, and appeals
to them, by every consideration that
is supposed to be potential with men
who love their country Surely the
MteAiyence7' by this time knows full
well that such riots rs that of New
Orleans were designed by the radi-
Gals, and their whole aim is to subyert
the Government and It's institutions.
The sage advice and powerful argu-
mcnts of our venerable cotemporarv
are but nero waste of powder.
Such men as Thad. Stevens and his
followers desire nothing better than
to incite and inilamc the worst pas
slons of the race they profess to love
to the commission OF the most horr;d
crimes.

A Voice from the Northwest.

Ihe National 1'ateAigeacer, of Thurs
day, published n letter from Hon.
Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, which is
one Of the ablest reviews of the ex-
isting political situation that has
yet been given to the public. While
he takes the ground that this is a
national consolidated Government.
he does not spare the radical party,
especially in regard to the legislation
of the last session of Congress. He
boldly declares that the laws passed
over the Residents veto are uncon-
stitutional and void, and he counsels
the Republicans to repeal the civil
rights and Freedmen's Bureau Acts,
&c. On this point, he says:
"Admit the right of inquiry into
the constitution of the enacting body,
the same right follows in the other.
and the illegitimacy in the one case
is as clear as in the other. This diff
ficulty applies to the civil rights bill,
to the last Freedman's Bureau bill,
and to the Constitutional amendment.
"This objection, together with the
constitutional difficulties in the seve-
raj bills, can be brought before the
courts, and it is not too much to say
that their decision will be doubtful
on that point, if on that alone. On
such reflection as can give it, I think
those enactments would be, each and
all of them, held void.
"Thls, of course, does not apply
to cases where the States did not APP
pear at the proper time and place
and offer their Senators and Repre-
sentatives. 1t would have quieting
effect, and be but reasonable sacri
fee to the Constitution and law, to
repeal, at the earliest possible mo-
ment, ali such enactments of the last
session of Congress which have not
received the sanction of the Pre-
slden+; for, whatever the decision of
the courts may be on the subject, it
IS quite clear that the opinion of the
bench and bar of the United States.
out OF political circles and beyond
political influence, will not be unani-
nous IN favor Of the validity OF those
laws; they will not be absolutely and
entirely respected by the mass of the
people, as they would have been if
enacted by a Congress in which all Of
the United States were supposed to
be represented.
Mr.. Ewing is a Republican, but he
writes the following paragraph:
My wish is that the Republican
party, very many of whose members
L highly respect, may return to the
path of Constitutional rectitude, and
walking in that path, I wish them q
long and successful administration of
their appropriate sphere in the affairs
OF Government; but if they and the
Constitution and the Union cannot
exist together, I as earnestly desire
their speedy and final overthrow
