The Situation.

Asa matter of course, the people of
the Southern States feel deeply in
terested us regards their political
status in the Union. The position of
the radical party-the dominant par
ty in Congress ess-leaves but little hope
for an early restoration of the South
ern States.
Our advice is, while we keep our
readers, as far rs We possibly can,
posted up on national politics, let
them leave them aside for the pre-
sent, and turn in and cork. We have
the f,aure-not of politics of ex-
istence, before us; and we earnestly
exhort, ut this season, that every ca
pacity, every energy, every physical
power, be brought into active exer-
else, just the same as if there were no
politicians or politics in the country
Our lands are here-our strength
and energy is still left us-let us go
to work.
We must have patience-and we
are assured she will have her perfect
work. The mingling ia politics now
will do us no good, and we do not
wish our fellow-citizens to engage in
this business. Our present and
honest advice is, to them, to apply
themselves to the development of the
rich resources of their State, into the
full encouragement of every enter
prise that will contribute to this de-
velopment, and that, in the future,
distractions will not divert them from
the grand uses to which they may
apply themselves in rendering their
State one of the most prosperous of
the Union
These are different sentiments from
those formerly enunciated, but, as
experience teaches, they are the
wisest to be entertained at the present
juncture.

Manly Sentiments.

Bishop Coke, of Western New
York, delivered a lecture lately before
the "Young Mems Association of
Buffalo, on ''The Unity of Northern
and Southern Civilization The
Commercial Adcertse1, of that city,
speaks in laudatory terms of the lee
ture, which, from the sketch that it
publishes, seems to have been distin-
guished by Christian and liberal
spirit. The speaker referred to the
claims of some reviews and journals,
that New England is the source of all
learning in this country; but the fact
that such men as Washington and
Franklin sprang from different Sc
tions, is sufficient proof that there
must have been a unity in religious
and educational influences in those
sections. Virginia, said Bishop Coke,
was really the mother of learning in
this country, as the founding of VIII
liam and Mary College and the ad-
vancement of education in that sec
ton show. He concluded:
''How little justice has been done
to these venerable benefactors, who
deserve the most glorious memorials
for their untiring efforts to benefit
their fellow-men. To all who would
impugn the character of Virginia, let
her great men reply. Are we worthy
descendants Of those great men who
advanced learning and religion, and
made their lives one martyrdom, that
we might enjoy the greatest blessings
ever poured upon people? The two
antago' istic sections of our country
possess unity both of tradition and
destiny. No class of our progenitors
were the monopolists of truth Now
is the time to harmonic what is good
in Northern and Southern sections.
There should be no geographical lines
in the nationality of our country.
Onspohcy as we'll as principle, v e can
extend the magnanimity Of heroes to
our Southern brethren. For some
years, there will be much to annoy
and pain us, but if we are resolved
that the whole land shall be one home
for the American people, we must
bury strife and discord A future of
moral grandeur awaits our country,
bearing the impress of the early
founders, and possessing a glorious
civilization through the agency of the
Christian religion.

AN "OL1vER" FOR "A ROWLAND. {"
The Pittsburg Gazette warns Presi-
dent Johnson that Congress has the
power to impeach him. 1t is as much
to the purpose to remind Congress
that Oliver Cromwell was neither the
first nor the last executive of a nation
that sent file of soldiers to clear a
hall intended for the deliberations of
q representative body, when its occu-
pants, no longer representing either
the needs or the wishes of the people,
had degenerated into a pestilent nest
of destructive demagogues. Put that
in your pipe and smoke it! The Dis
trict Of Columbia is not in the re-
gions in which the President has "de-
clared'' martial law to be at an end.

Is AN INDIAN AS Coop AS NEGRO?

Is AN INDIAN AS COOP AS A NEGRO?
Referring to the Stevens amend
ment of the Constitution, which
specially excerpts Indians from the
protection granted to negroes, the
New York Herald remarks:
''Think Of such man as the gallant
Col Parker, Gen Grants aid-de-
camp, and many other superior men
Of the Indian race we might name,
being excluded, while Africans, who
hardly know their right hand from
their left, are admitted to political
equality with the whites. In fact, if
the negro is to be placed on perfect
political equality with ourselves, we
cannot see why the Indians, Chinese.
Malays, and the other races, which
are not inferior to the negro, should
not have the same privilege .
