Declaration of Independence, laid down a plat
form of broad principles that looked to the wip-
ing out OF all political distinctions between man
and man.
On that platform they won the great fight; but
in the hour of victory they were compelled to
abandon certain of those principles. This was
to secure a harmony between the States that
was deemed worthy the sacrifice. The pressure
OF material interests was too great, aud the
founders OF the republic, in framing the Consti-
tuition, agreed that the original platform was
impracticable to a certain extent. So the Con.
stitution secured less than the Declaration had
claimed but, it secured a great deal. Our
torefatbers compromised on slavery as it was
left with the more readiness because, hercely as
the material interests held to it, il was then
believed by men of the best judgment that it
was a doomed instItution-that it was dying out.
1t did die out to great degree, and just as 1t
seemed at its last gasp the growth Of cotton
and the invention of the cotton-gin gave 1T
new life
But there was great spirit at work in the
world all the time. We had in the old struggle
lighted up mems minds by our example, and
started the great battle for freedom in Europe.
We set France in notion and France, carrying
our own ideas further than we had done,
shamed us by showing the point at which we
had stopped short. So slavery was forced to
defined frontier, at which it chose to fight us.
We fought it, and it went down forever. The
white European emigrant, ceasng to be a slave,
had been placed by the Constitution in'the hands
OF Congress-. Congress was empowered to settle
empowered 10 do the same with the negro. All
distinctions between the two races we're based
on the fact that the negro was in slavery. Sla-
very is wiped out, and all those distlnctions go
with it. The late slave is now an agricultural
laborer, farmer mechanic, new to southern
laws Just coming under their influence as the
emlglant from another land does; and it lies
with Congress- to settle his position by naturali-
Zation law, which is q suffrage law.
Congress, which the radicals control, thus has
the power to do Just what they pretend is neces-
sary-iupt what they declare they are delaying
reconstruction to secure. Why, then, do they
not pass the law they want? Because all this
fuss over the negro is a pretense Because what
they really want is anarchy. Because Stanton
and stevens, the chosen leaders, like Danton
and Marat, fear tranquility and peace, and nope
for dominion in a strife of determination against
the South. Hence their Committee on Re-
construction--whic Is only another Committee
on Public Safety-another Jacobin c!ub-to give
direction to all the violent and unscrupulous
elements-to make the prescriptions. The Presi-
dent in virtue OF the nearly dictatorial powers
with which the war power clothes the EXecu-
Jive began the restoration OF the States in the
proper way. His Provisional Governors, and
the calling into being the dormant political
vitality OF the people by conventions, we've all

RecOnstTuctiOn-The Power of Congress
and the Schemes of the Radicals.

From the Herald.
The Southern armies are disbanded; the
Southern politicians acknowledge that their
attempt to destroy the country was a grand
error, and all resistance to the Government from
the side OF the South is given up. Still civil war
RACES, and perhaps With more bitterness than it
did when the whole country was in arms. The
country is torn by dissensi.n that is civil in
double sense, and its best interests areimperiled
by war more bitter and savage than the former
eN az was, Just as the nature OF the politician is
more acrimonious and Wind ctiye than that Of
the soldier. The political extremists of the North
the radlcals-haye in simple fact now taken
the position lately held by the soldiers OF the
South. They are the savage and desperate ene-
mics OF the Government, the country, the Union,
and order.
Not only do they embarrass TO the utmost all
the attempts OF the Executive 10 fulfil the duties
OF his office, so tar as relates to the restoration
OF civil authority in all parts of the country, but
it is their d I'm purpose to stop such restoration
bv anv and every means, and to prevent in Con-
gress the legislation necessary to pacify and set
tie the country. They assert that their object in
! this is TO secure the rights o. the negro; that
! they fear a too rapid reconstruction will leave
! the negro in fact slave, though nominally free;
| and that they desire TO prevent reconstruction
only till they can secure guarantee for full ius-
! tice to all classes of the Southern people. They
make this spec GUS assertion to secure their posi-
| tion before the country.
| In truth, the negro is a preteXt, and their
| philanthropic devotion to his rights is a sham
The evidence of this is the fact that it lies with
these radicals to pass through Congress law
that will give the negro all the rights that any
one has ever claimed for hun. They can do it;
but they will not simply because by so dong
they would restore the country to its normal
position and prevent the political anarchy which
their leaders, Stanton and Stevens, count upon
10 lit them into higher places than they now
hold,
Under the Constitution as it now stands the
negro is in the hands of the National Legisla
ture. This is the point to which the growth o
the spirit of freedom contending always against
property interests and preudices, has brought
us. We began on this continent, in the colonial
times, with different systems OF slavery The
negro was slave, the Indian was slave, anC
the white European emigrant was also slave
Religious freedom was the freedom that the set
tiers soue ht here, because ii was in religion tha

progress OF ideas social and political freedom
also came to be discussed; and when the war o
