Our cotemporary of the Newbern Time,
80 IF the President and his party are going
to hold on to the test oath, as it. is. the peo,
pie of the South cannot understand what
good the Philadelphia Convention and the
like are going to do, or If they propose to
level all barriers and open the doors Of Con.
gress to all classes, they cannot conceive what
is to prevent continuation of the sectional
strife indefinitely.
On the other hand, if the Radicals are r.
rule and the test oath and the Howard
amendment are both to he enforced, it will
be death, alike to secessionists and Union
men in this country, for, practically, the
doors, to a large extent. will be closed against
the South during the lifetime of the present
generation"
We happen TO know that the President
and his party do intend to hold on to the
test OATH The President has said NOTHING,
against this oath-the members of the Cabi-
net seem to take it for granted that it will
not be repealed, and the Philadelphia Convep-
ton has substantially endorsed it. If the
Howard amendment should be adopted the
present test oath will necessarily cease for
the amendment referred to will supersede it
as a constitutional test. Congress will then
by two-thirds vote, permit such persons as
it may choose to hold office, and will remove
the disability only with that view. That
body will do full justice to Southern Union
men.
If those politicians at Washington who
called the Philadelphia Convention are op-
posed to the test oath, they did not have the
moral courage to advise the Convention to
take ground against it. They feared the eff
feet of such course on the Northern cleo
tons. If that Convention had denounced
the test oath, and had recommended the adj
mission of all the members elect to Congress
from the South just as they are, its advocates
and supporters could not have carried single
township in the Northern or Western States
We do not say this with a view to defend the
justice or propriety of the oath, but to show
the strength of the so-ealled radicals.
