The New York Erening Post calls attention

The New York Erening Post calls attention
to the fact that in our governments diplo.
matte negotiations to get Napoleon out o,
Mexico, in 1864, he formally engaged himsel:
to retain French troops in that country for O
period of six years after the happening Of
certain events which have not yet come 10
pass. Articles two and three Of the conven-
tion of Miramar run in this wise:
ART. 2-The French troops shall evacuate
Mexico in proportion as the Emperor of Mex.
leo shall be able to organize the troops nec-
essary to replace them.
ART. 3-The Foreign Legion in the service
of France, composed Of eight thousand men,
shall, nevertheless, remain in Mexico six
years after all the other French troops shall
have been recalled
Article Fifth further provides that at all
points where the forces are Not exclusively
Mexican, ''the military command shall de.
volve on the French commander" and in
expeditions the supreme control shall also be
with the French. Napoleon made indefinite
and seemingly fair promises to our govern.
ment. and Brother Jonathan has been molli-
fed, forgetting all about the terms of the
Emperors convention with MaximilIian but
we may rely upon it Napoleon has not.

Then and Now.

About the middle of January, 1868, there
was published, at the head of the editorial
columns of the Missouri Democrat, a call,
signed by John F. Hume, Emil Pretorius and
others, for @ mass meeting of the friends of
the government, as the adherents of the pres
dent were called in those days. The call
started out in this style:
1.-The numerous manifestations OF hostility to
the government which have of late appeared in
sections of the country heretofore Tegdr ded 10y
al. must bring alarm to every patriotic heart. 1t
is msst patent that there is spirit of rebellion IN
the land, not confined to the boundaries of seces-
sion. The country has other foes than those who
are arms against it. The form which the oppo-
slton of those engaged In giving aid and comfort
to rebels in arms without following their example
has taken is resistance TO the National AdministrG
tion its endearors to overthrow the rebellion and
restore the Union.'
That's what's the matter now. There are
numerous manifestations of hostility TO the
government-not simply to the president but
to the principles upon which this republic
was built These manifestations have appear
cd in sections heretofore regarded as loyal
in Massachusetts,, in Vermont, in Maine and
even in loyal Missouri. There IS q spirit of
rebellion in the land. 1t is not in the south,
or within the late boundaries of secession for
their rebellion has wholly ceased, and the
uppermost desire Of the people is to speedily
get back into the Union, The rebellion is in
tina ranks of the radicals. The form this re-
bellion has taken is resistance to the meas
ures of the national administration" in it's
endeavors to restore the Union. The radicals
denounce these measures, and condemn the
the president in the most vituperative style.
Once they called themselves unconditional
Unionists," but now they want no Union ex-
oept upon impossible conditions. Shall the
new rebellion be quenched PSI. Louis Re
publican.

COLORED CLERGYMAN.

The Protestant Episcopal convention of
South Carolina has authorized and requested
the trustees of its diocesan theological semi.
nary to search out and take by the hand such
colored persons as may be DESTROYS of prepar-
ing for the sacred ministry, of whose moral
and spiritual fitness they may be satisfied,
and to provide for their education and train
ing at schools or seminarles, under the ap-
proval of the isbhop. The object is to fur
nish the large number of freedmen in that
state with pastors and teachers of their own
race. to educate and minister to them in holy
things and also to train up colored mission
aries for Africa, to whose inhospitable cli-
mate their peculiar constitutions are alone
adapted.

The contest was a warm one in Edgington,
but the town maintained it's ancient and hon.
orable name, electlng every man on which
there was contest, except collector. There
was, as we hear. some little dissatisfaction
on the candidate for this office. Mr.. john
son had been the candidate for three years,
and had held the Office for the last two years,
and some democrats wished q new man. Mr..
johnson was the nominee of the caucus and
ought to have been supported by every dem
ocrat. Yet we think it good policy to have
frequent changes in Offices, and give all fair
chance Rotation in office is an old demo-
cratic principle. and good one. In a close
town, like Edgington, great care should also
be used to preserve harmony in the party.
and bring out such candidates as will take
every democratic vote, and some of the othe,
side if possible.

Southern Congressmen.

1t has been repeatedly stated that on the SUBJ
ject of the restoration of the southern states to
the Union, President Johnsons policy is but a
supplement- and extension of that OF his prede-
cessor. While the war was still going On Presi-
dent Lincoln extremely anxious that the
people OF those portions of the south which had
been freed of rebel domination by the success of
the federal arms, should send representatives to
congress. In pursuance of this idea, he gave
written authority to agents whom he selected to
visit the territory reclaimed from the confeder-
acy, and use every influence with the military
commanders to permit the people to hold cleo
tions for members of congress. One of these am
bassadors was from St. Louis, and we have seen
the letter he carried to Arkansas from Mr.. Lin
coin, directed to General Steele and other of
ticers there, asking them to exert their utmost
endeavors to induce the people of that state to
elect congressional representatives. Mr.. Lin
coin, forgetting the fact that Mr.. Sebastian had
been expelled from the senate, strongly urged
that that gentleman should resume his vacated
seat
Thus it is seen that President Johnson's policy
with reference to the representation of the south
in congress is identical with that of President
Lincoln. Whoever supported Mr.. Lincoln can
not consistently oppose his successor.-St. Louis
Republican.
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1866-04-05


Ex-senator Foote, the father-in-law of Sem
ator Stewart, of Nevada. proposed. short
time ago, to defend in a series of letters to
newspaper in New York, the resolutions in
troduced by Mr.. Stewart in the senate, offer
ing to the south admission to congress and q
general amnesty in exchange for negro suf-
frage. Mr.. Foote has written two letters on
the subject, which, owing to the press of 9TH
er matter, have not been published. In re-
cent letter he withdraws these two, and re.
tires from the discussion, alleging as reasons
therefor that Mr.. Stewart had proposed a sub
stitute for the resolutions, and also the sub.
joined:
81 confess l am far less inclined to partci pate
now, than was a day two since, in the discus
sion OF any of the questions at this moment pend
ing before congress. Recent events have awaken
ed in my mind grave doubts and anxieties to
the future OF our country, and begin seriously 10
fear that unless there shall be displayed in
tonal councils more sobriety ofspirt, less regard
for party and sectional ascendency and individual
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and a more dIsnterested and sell
| sacrificing desire to secure the prosperity, free
| dom, and true welfare of our whole people, we
shall within the next thirty days witness scenes OF
| commotion, anarchy, and possibly revolu-
tionary violence, which will fill the minds of ali
| true patriots with deep and permanent regret''

RADICAL CONSISTENCY.

We are informed that, yesterday, (Aprli
4th) prominent radical politician in this
city stated publicly that "Andrew johnson
ought to be shot," The man who made this
remark would have been among the first to
have aided in mobbing democrat who
should have made the same remark in regard
to Mr.. Lincoln, or who should have express
ed qualification that he was shot, Last
spring traitor, rebel, or copperhead was
one who did not sustain the policy OF the
president. This spring q rebel or copper
head is ono who does support the president.
Last year to speak lightly of the president
was treason; this year the test of loyalty Is
dsnunoiation of the executive branch of the
government. This il radical consistency.
We hope this man will not be mobbed, but
he as richly deserves it as hundreds OF Others
who were mobbed, year ago.
