SENATOR WILSON'S LIBEL ON
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

ON the postnl hin Wa alhded 10 the fact
that Senator Hxsny WusoS. favored the
rcconsideration. thereby indicating that
Mss.achusetts had one representative in
the Senate Chamber who could rise above
mere partisan considerations, and view pub

yineial lieht. We did the good ola State

legislation on national grounds. In a speech
explaining his position on the proposition 10
tie the hands Of the Executive and take
from him the privileges accorded both by
the Constitution and custom to The PRKsr-
nxsr, among many rash statements, Senator
wusox made use of the following impious
language: Speaking of the people of this
country. In connection with TIE PRRsrpESr
hesaid "that their hearts had been wrung with
agreat sorrow, not surpassed by the sorrow Of
the four bloody years Of war in which three
hundred thousand Of their sons and brothers
gave their lives to their country"
From long experience, we are prepared
to hear the most absurd propositions and the
most insane prophecies from HENRY WusoS.
He Is habitually making wild and unreason-
able statements at one period Of the year,
which generally takes him the remainder
Of the year to clear up, defend and explain.
Early in the war he oificiously and with nm
er cathedra air announced that we had men
enough in the service to finish nm the CON-
Hict--more than could be used bv MANY
thousands. A million men were mustered
into the armies after that miserable blunder
Of the Senator. But with his chronic d;sno-
sition to exhibit the height to.whicb human
folly can attain, we were not expecting to
hear, even from him. anvtbinc an blas-

GREELEY ON THE PREs1pENr's Mes

GREELEY ON THE PREs1pENr's Mes
sAaE.-Presidant Johnson yesterday trans
m'tted to the Senate deeply interesting re-
ports recently made to him on the condition
OF the South by General Grant, General
howard and General schurz, accompanying
them by brief message, wherein he reo>
ommends an early restoration of the States
lately IN rebellion to all the rights and priv.
ileges which they forfeited by attempting to
break up the Union.
We find in the text of this message no
adequate reason for Mr.. Summers denupcia.
tion OF it. 1.-THE President had demande ed
of Congress that it act on his Judgment
rather than its own, then he would have
acted unwarrantsbIy; but as he has simply
given bis own view ofthe existing situation;
with his reasons for suggesting particular
course, he deserves neither denunciation nor
obloquy.
Two great ends are now in view l. The
restoration Of the STATES lately in revolt to
their former position in the Union. 2. The
protection Of their freedom from future op-
preston and outrage. We are in favor OF
both these. We are opposed to keeping
the Southern States indefinitely in the con.
dition Of conquered provinces or territories !;
we are in favor Of requiring and providing
guarantees for the protection and rights of
their freedom. There may be those who
fancy that they are favoring'the freedmen
by calling for the execution of the rebel
chiefs, the confscation Of rebel property,
and the perpetuation Of Southern pupilage.
or rather, vassalsge; but we believe there
is kinder and surer way of reaching the
end We aim at. We see not how we could
help the freedmen by making war either
on the President or on the rebels, who have
thrown down their arms. Where we 6nd
either in fault we do not hesitate to say 80 =;
but we judge that the true interest of the
blacks is to be subserved by cultivating the
kindliest relations with both.
We trust there will be developed in Con-
gress the suavity and practical sagacity re.
quired to secure at once an early restoration
Of the Southern States, and a perfect and
perpetual guaranty of the essential right.
of manhood to their freedom And we
still hope to see Congress and the President
Cooperate in securing these benefcent
and uowise inconsistent ends.-New York
Tribune.

W1T.-The habit of mind, however,
which wit cherishes, is obviously, not desir.
able. Wit turns on secondary and trifing
relations, not on fundamental agreements.
lie more philosophical our habits of obser.
Va'ion' the more carefully and constantly
we note important resem blances, the less
shall we mark or treasure the trivial conneo.
lions OF wit. The movement of mind from
which wit springs is opposed both to thor
ough and serious reflection, and ought not
therefore to become habluaL
Nor is wit desirable as constant accom-
panlmens OF composition or of conversation.
The train of thoughtsis too much diverted
and interrupted by it. Take for instance
the habit Of punning. The pun demands
separate consideration of mere verbal re-.
lst!ons. The thread of discourse ia for the
instant broken, and the mind requires time
TO rally and reYite it.. Let diversion Of
this sort recur several times, and the intar.
est and attentions due to the cardinal point
are lost and the main topic is abandoned
anna the percussion of small wit. Up-
doubtedlly even the most serious discourse
can' in the hands Of master, suffer occa-
81 s.0nal hamor without detrimeut but more
frequently laughter is secured at tho coat
of oonyiction.,, q:

THE TRUE HEROIC SPIRIT.

THE TRUE HEROIC SPIRIT.
A letter from Pendleton, S. c., speak.
thus of the manner in which the people O
that section have met the results of the
war:
Our young men have gone to work ir
earnest. We are proud to see them en-
gagged in teaching, ploughing, wagoning
keeping grocery stores, in short, doing any
thing, and doing it cheerfully. a general
who bore no mean part in the war, has
been living in hut on the coast. support
ing his family by fishing. Another geuer.
al has been cutting wood on shares. Ours
is poverty of which no one is ashemed
and Of which very few complain. We are
willing to bear it, aud its universally
makes it more tolerable. We know that
the most refined and intelligent women in
the State, deserted by their deluded SER
wants, are doing all kinds of house work
sweeping, busting, making beds, and even
in some cases cooking and washing. In.
Vulnerable widows. orphans and single >wo.
men, whose property was in Confederate
bonds, are Penni!ess, and are seeking EN-
ployment of some kind for bread. On the
whole, our people are bearing their trials
bravely aud cheerfully.
This, certainly, is exhibiting true, he
roic spirit. This is the way in which all
brave people in by-goDe days, who have
set their hearts upon gaining cause, and
lost their all in the attempt, have conduc-
ted themselves. Instead of sitting down
and repining at that which has been lost,
our people painfully face the stern realities
which confront them on every side, and
cheerfully work on for the future.
A people who conduct themselves in
such commendable manner are worthy
OF, and should invariably receive, the con-
huence and encouragement of the success
tul party. victors can ever afford to be
generous. They lose nothing by pursuing
liberal policy towards those they have
overpowered. The history of the past
proves this. The experience Of tile present
day, as far as tried, corroborates the Lessons
Of by-gone days.
The conservative meu.of tile South nm,
pear to be fully impressed with these
truths. They are doing all 10 their power
TO support the President. May they sue.
ceed in bringing shame and confusion up-
on the radicals and their leaders. Nav
they pat to complete discontinue and rout
the hordes Of political vampires and dem
agogues who care nothing for their com.
mon country; but to show by their acts
that their great desire is to grow rich off
the South, by inaugurating q policy that
would be as crushing in it's effects as that
Of Russia has been in unfortunate Po-
land.
Let US of the. South so conduct ourselves
That everything that we do will tend to
support the President ip the position he
has taken.
