The New York Evening Post says, "to
Us it appears that the way 20 sap the
preiudices of the mass of the southern
people, to win their regard and to make
them satisfied with the Union, is not by
exclusion and prescription. but by con-
fidence, by restoration to the mass of
the rights and privileges Of citizens, by
punishment of those demagogues who
led them into rebellion by insisting
on free speech, a free press, and strict
obedience to the laws; and by waiting
for time to heal old wounds, and tak-
ing care not TO reopen them ourselves"
The Post is right, as every sensible
man, who wishes to see the people of
the whole country united and harmoni
Gus, will admit So long as the conflict
of arms lasted, Cancellation was impoli-
tic and most reprehensible, because
calculated to encourage the rebels and
TO prolong the struggle. Now, however
the rebellion being at an end, and the
people submissive, Cancellation is the
true policy. If the oppressive and ty-
rannical measures of the radicals in
Congress prevail, the child is not living
who will see the day when our country
men will be again fraternal. Oppres-
sion but breeds discomfort and hatred,
and no government is worthy of respect
that practices or tolerates it.

in his harGngue any and all SUI scts
however irrelevant, the Senators went
into the history of the rebellion, the
logic of the war. the objects for which
we fought, and, finally and generally,
into the foundation Of the Republican
party and schisms therein.
Senator Wilson in the course of his
remarks made the announcement that

and would continue to serve them when
an opportunity Was offered, and he
wanted no more of their blood and
treasure, and no more conhscation, but
demands of the South equal rights for
all white and black.
Senators Cowan and Doolittle each
made able arguments In answer TO the
ouslaughts OF the Radicals upon the
President. These were the most forci.
Die speeches Of the past week, both of
the Senators pursuing the same line of
