HE Two EXTREMEs.-Those who assert or
intimate that any portion of the Southern people
are dastoyat to the Government of the United
States are wrong while those who intimate that
the great mass of our people lore the Government
OF the United States the Northern people are
equally wrong. The Southern people. almost
without a single exception, will hereafter prove
as loyal to the Government as any man in it, bnt
they cannot, at present. love it. and never will
love it until the treatment towards them is
changed. Immediately after bloody and pro-
tracted war. in which passion and prejudice were
aroused to the greatest extent. it would be bare
faced hypocrisy in us. people, to pretend
that we love the Federal Government or the
Northern people. If we were to m AXE such
profession presume Northern of any
discernment would believe But while do
not love them, we intend to observe obliga-
tions in good faith and obey the laws enacted by
the powers that be, remembering that sub
jugated and that it is our duty to submit.
If the Government wants to win the affections
of the Southern people, let it withdraw military
rule from over them and restore them to all their
civil rights; let it refrain from collecting taxes
from them while they are unrepresented and have
agents and officers from the South who are going
over the country annoying the people. And if
it expects the Southern people to fight for the
Government in a war with England. France or
any other power. let it tender commissions 10
Gen. Lee, Gen. Johnston. and other competent
and reliable officers who fought on the Southern
side in the late war Then might expect
good feeling to exist between the two sections,
and sort of 'brotherly-love'' prevail! The
southern people may forgive if they are forgiven
and treated equals in the Union.
We are for harmony" and respectfully sub
NIT the above suggestions with the hope that
President Johnson and all others in authority will
give them favorable consideration, and at once
produce among all our people that noble emula-
ton of who can best work and best agree! If
the Government will trust the people of the South
and treat them as freemen. everything will work
right hereafter.

A PROCLAMATION
WIN. H. BAGLEY, Priv Sec

CoNGREss.-We have no Congressional news
to report because the recess did not expire until
Friday last. On that day the members re-as-
sembled, and we suppose went to work on public
affairs. Some of the Washington letter-writers
say that things will come to head between the
President and the radicals at an early day-that
the President is determined his reconstruction
policy shall not be longer clogged by the fanatics
who have the ascendancy in Congress, and that
they must either take an open stand of opposi-
ton to him or carry out his views by admitting
the Southern representatives. But it appears to
be a settled point that none will be admitted who
cannot take the test oath, and as there are but
four or five members elected from Southern
States who can take that oath, it will be but an
insignificant representation at best.
We think fuss is brewing between the Presi-
dent and the radicals, and all good men will
rejoice when it breaks out and overwhelms the
radical disunionists.
A Mr. Wilson, radical member from Iowa,
who opposes the immediate admission of the
South called on the Presiden: the other day. and
wanted him TO promise not to punish those who
oppose his policy by the withdrawal Of patronage,
offices, DC, but the President gave him no salts
faction.

One of the blood hounds of Zion, Reu. Mr.
Winkleman of New Jersey, died the other day,

making great professions of piety, and frequently
denounclng the heathens of the South. The
blood hounds of Zion terribly Mortified at
the sins of the Southern people, but they are
particular not to see their own short comings.-
