Restoration OF the Southern States without
delay is necessary both in political point of
view and for the material interests Of the
!. country. If II cannot be brought about in one
. way II must in another. The politicians may
, wish to keep the question open for party or
political purposes, but the mass Of the people
do not-they want 1t closed up. The con-
tinued exclusion Of so largo and such an i'm
portant part Of the country from restoration
) and representation at Washington has politi-
cal danger in it, ID great strain upon our in
situations and form Of government, and Is cal
culated to paralyzs the productive power Of
the South as well As the commercial and ma
terial interests Of the North. There is, in
truth, great danger every way In such an
! anomalous and unnatural state OF things. We
must have prompt restoration at any cost and
by all means-not two, three or more years
hence, not after the next Presidential election,
but il possible, before the term of the present
! Congress shall expire next March.
We have seen in history that the richest and
, fairest portion Of the earth may become .
d wilderness under paralyzlng political circum-
stances. The South, with oil its natural re-
sources, might become so. In all probability
: the productions Of that section Of the country,
which have been declining very much since
9 the war, would become less next year, still
less the year after, and so on till general ruin
: would follow, If restoration be delayed. All
the best portion Of the population that could
get away would leave; ambition, which IL the
great incentive to industry and action. would
be destroyed, and capital would turn aside
from country so situated. Shall we suffer-
thi, part Of our territory, richer and
with more varied productions than India,
to be thus destroyeds Shall We jeopardize
our free republican institutions by keep
ing half the continent and nearly a
third OF the population In an unrepre-
sentcd condition and under despotic rule t!
No statesman or patriot, nor any one who has
studied history to advantage, would wish to
see such state Of things
