THE JOHNSON SOLDIERS.


Gems Custer, Dix, &c, urge their fellow
soldiers in the late Civil War, to unite with
them in holding Convention at Cleveland
intended TO pave the way for el-Cop-
perhead triumph in our approaching elec-
tons. Contrary to the most notorious facts,
they assure those soldiers that the late
Rebels have in good faith acknowledged that
they were wrong in foreibly resisting and
seekingto subvert the authority of the Union
in the South when, nearly every prominent
journal in the South emphatically denies and
scouts that assumption. Assuming, in def
ance of facts as notorious as the sun, that the
late Rebels are now all loyal, and wel.dis-
posed toward Unionists, Dix & Co., plead
their cause as follows.
"But, though individuals may be tried,
convicted and punished, communities can.
not; nor can the States and their people,
without plain violation of the Constitution
be denied the right representation, through
men personally qualified, in the councils o
the nation. The intention of Congress seems
to be to deprive them Of representation ius
so long as suits the purposes of the Radica
party. Many assert that it will concede the
right whenever the constitutional amend
ment shall have been adopted and each pro
scribed State shall have ratified it, But il il
| quite certain that the amendment will not bt
ratified by threc-fourths of the States, AM
therefore that it will not be adopted Some
perhaps many, Of the Northern States will
reject it; and we cannot expect its legal rati
lication by any of the lately insurroctionar,
States. If there were no other reason VIII,
the Southern States should reject it, it i
enough that il proposes to diSfranchisG aeaTl
all The men in The South toho hare tafuene
ooer The masses Of The people. If none wer
to be dsfranchised except officers of III
Rebel army, we still could not expect Il.
South TO adopt it; for a large majority G
men in the lately insurrectionary States
through compusion OF choice, served in tn
Rebel army, and their votes alone woul
overwhelmingly defeat it. Would Unio
soldiers, to recover political privileges, dit
franchise their leaders whom they love an
revere for their heroic virtues? How, ther
can we expect Southern soldiers to disiraI
chiae and degrade their old commander
Delaware State journal and statesman., 1866-08-28

AS there is no probability that the amend
ment will be ratified by three -fourths of the
States, the plan of restoration which Con-
gress appears to have determined on is al
best impracticable. y
That is to say: The plan of reconstruction
prescribed by Congress is impracticable, be
cause the Rebels will not assent to it. And
'edy will they notS Because "it proposes to
dislranchse nearly all the men in the South
who have influence over the masses of the
People" No, ii does not II proposes that
certain of the more conspicuous and culpablc
Rebels shall be excluded from Federal office
until Congress shall see fit to remove the
prescription. Is not that quite another
thingg
But We take Gems. Dix, Custer " Co. ON
their own ground. They ask our soldiers to
put themselves in the place of the Rebels
against whom they fought, and say whether
they would vote to disfranchise their leaders
and comrades in arms. Now, it is notorious
that some Two Hundred Thousand Blacks
fought against the Rebellion-fought bravely
and well; so that many thousands of them
sealed with their life blood their devotion 10
the Union. Nearly all the survivors, it is
perfectly notorious are doomed to perpetual
dislranchisement and to be left without ary
political rights whatever, if the johnson
policy of restoration is successful. You
say, gentlemenl that the Rebel soldiers car
not be expected to sustain OF acquicsce in a
policy of reconstruction that divcsts Their
comrades OF political power Are you net,
then, by your own confession, base and
ucacherous hounds, in that you, being tfi-
umphant, are willing 10 do by g0ur com
ralos in the late struggle what you insist
that the Rebels though defeated, must scorn

To THE LOYAL HEARTS OF THE NATION
Ninety years ago our fathers proclaimed a
new theory Of government, founded on pro
lection to the rights of the citizen. On the
9th day of September next it is proposed to
hold grand Mass Meeting in the shades of
Independence Hall, in the City of Philadel-
phia, to reassert the doctrines of our ances-
tors. All who believe with our fathers that
the constitutional rights of the citizen are
the first and paramount object of Republican
Government, are cordially invited to attend
The three hundred thousand Union defen-
ders from the South, who stood in the ranks
OF the Union army, send greeting to the
brave veterans of the North Through our
representative delegates to the Convention
of the Southern Unionists, we send a hearty
invitation for our comrades in a common
cause, to meet us on the spot made sacred TO
liberty Come onel Come all Come in
the uniform of blue. Come as you came TO
the South on the great mission to relieve it
from the despotism of usurping traitors.
Come as you came when you caused the
hearts of the depressed Unionists TO leap
with joy at the temperance of the old flag,
| upheld by strong hands and brave deeds,
Let the unionists of the North and South
come together and renew the pledge to sus.
tain liberty, order and law.

APPOINTMENT OF Postmaster - The
Philadelphia Press of yesterday, announces
that Joseph M. Barr has been appointed
Postmaster in this city, in place of Col, Ar

hitherto mute tongue into an eloquent ad.
vocate Of the principles of Union and Liber-
ty. There are several others whose power
OF speech we expect soon to see unloosed,
that they too may become active champions
of the Republican party to which they
