TENSEssEE.-The ratification of the Consti

neSsee, and the admission of the Senators and
Representatives from that State in Congress- is
the most gratifying event that we have been
called upon to chronicle for months past. Loyal
men are everywhere rejoiced. This action
spikes the gun of the copperheads, who have
been endeavoring to create capital out of the
fact that these loyal men were denied admit
lance TO their seats, and who declared that
Congress did not intend to admit them until
they also passed law comforting suffrage upon
the negroes Of that State

advocate it in Indiana? Is ne afraid of being
defeated? Out upon such hypocrisy.

COMMUNICATIONS.

Editors Of Paladum:-I would wish to ex-
plain through your columns, a presumed incon-
gruity contained in poem lately published in
the Republican of your city, with the name of
Thomas b. Lamb signed to it. That paper as
serts the author requested his name to be sign
ed to it this is a mistake, the author said if
the editor feared the responsibility he might, in
that event, sign his name. The editor thinks
the last stanza inconsistent with the rest; see
no inconsistency in man refusing ALL bank
notes if all were either bankrupt or counter fieit
and receiving them if geuine. Where is the
comparison between poison drugs and pure
article of spirits, any nearer than the above?-
To make bug bear of the authors saying he
would ever taste pure article. is to disannul
the judgment of all physicians; but perhaps
that editor is deeper inspired in science than all
the doctors put together! The candid opinion
of the author is that no PURE spirits are. or
have been, ever manufactured in this country;
hence he deemed himself entirely safe in prof.
fering. by way Of poetic license" to partake OF
a pure article. TB.L.

SENslBLE.-We find in the Cincinnati Com
mercial of the 18th, the following closing re-
marks on the political situation,' that We hear
ty approve and endorse:
"lf Congress had been in knowledge and the
matured sentiment that strikes action before
the holidays, as SIX months afterward, there
would have been no quarrel with the President,
and all would have been we'll. If the Presi-
dents policy had remained unchanged after six
months contact with Congress. reconciliation
would have been easy, or rather. inevitable But
there was that lnconpatibiIty of temper dis
played on both sides. that sometimes separates
husband and wife: and the wise moderation and
dignity. either side, that would have COM
manded the peace, was looked for in vain. His
tory may parcel out ,he blame with equity:
what We have 20 do Is TO take care OF the con-
sequences. The quarrel was a weakness when
and where we most needed strength. 1t has
revived the hopes and terminated the passions
of the enemies of American nationality and lib
erty, and thereby postponed the complete paci-
fication of the country. In this condition of
affairs the supporters of the Government thro'
the war cannot stforri charged as they are with
the chief responsibility OF reconstruction to
admit 10 perfect equality with themselves those
who were lately IN arms for the destruction of
the Government and now show no other evil
dences of good will toward it than an intense
longing to reassume the high places they ieser-
ted to cast their fortunes with the rebellion
We have not hereto ore been convinced tina, the
President really accepted the doctrine of the
political equality of the retels with loyal men,
and demanded the restoration of the people and
States that were in the confaderacy uncondi-
tionally TO the full rights of citizenship and
Statehood enjoyed before they experimental in
treason. His drift, hcwever. seems to be in
that direction. and his footing in the dangerous
curren; in which he is involved, precarious.-
Between the president in this questionable shape
and congress, growing moderate with expert
ence and already freed from the leadership that
wasted months in political intempcrance, the
choice is easy; and the almost universal support
givon BY the people who were true to the trials
of war 10 the defined policy Of Congress, rath-
er than TO the Indefinite hostility of the Presi-
dent IS prompted no less by the common in
srincts of patriotism than BY the clesrest intel
iigenee-"
