The act of March 4, 1862, apportioning the
number of Representatives in congress, is
conclusive proof that congress had not at that
date n doubt of the right of the southern
states to representation
ssCHAP. XXXVI.-An act fixing the number of the
House of Representative from and after the Sd
of March, 1868.
'sBe it enacted by the senate and house OF rep
re-entatives of the United States of America, in
congress assembled, That from and after the Sd
day of March, 1863, the number OF representatives
of the congress of the United States shall be 24l !;
and the eight additional members shall be assigned
one each to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, I-
nois, lows, Minnesota, Vermont and Rhode Is
land.
ssApproved, March i, 1892
at the time of the passage of the act the
number OF representatives WAS 233. The act
did not contemplate that the northern states
alone should, after March 8, 1868, have 24l
members. The north could only gain the
eight additional members provided for, and
mad then but her proportion of the 233.-
Thaddeus Stevens was q member of congress
at the time of the passage of the act, and it
is very probable that he voted for it. The
doctrine of state suicide was not discovered
until Solicitor Whiting, of the war depart
ment unearthed it. When it was first an
nounced it was received with ridicule by the
majority of the republican newspapers.
We have before referred to the reply by
MrSeward to the French offer of mediation,
in which 1e said the seats of southern mem
bers were awaiting them in the capitol, and
that the government only asked that the
south should lay down it's arms and scknowl-
edge the authority of the government. Mr..
Lincoln approved of that reply, and 80 did
the republican party generally. This was
February 6, 1868. Even up to that date the
radical leaders had not the impudenoe to in
eist On the enforcement of Whitingism.
Ex-Gov. Yates, of Illinois, one of the ia
Goblin United States senators from that state,
q delegate to the mean white convention in
Philadelphia, thus describes his emotions on
the happening of the great event" in the
convention:
s'Referring TO the appearance in the procession
of Fred. Douglass, linked with Theodore Tilton,
he said he felt il the sunlight of heaven gowed
on his head brighter than ever. He would be
prouder by far to march in the same procession
with Frederick Douglass than with Andrew John
son.'
The spirit which approves of the amalga-
nation of the races. of disgusting miscegena-
ton, of the social equality of the negro with
the white, is now rampant IN the radical fac
ton. The abolition disguise of it is no lon
ger affected. The American people are thus
brought face to face with the horrid doctrine,
which has the support of powerful organi-
zation.-C Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Cleveland, Ohio, Herald, "a republican pa
peri referring to the radical attacks upon Henry
Ward Beecher, rebukes its radical associates
thus:
''Where is this abuse of men who see fit to
entertain an opinion independent of party dicta-
ton to end, and is the Union party immaculate !?
Is criticism of the acts of congress to be forbid
den? What did Mr.. Beecher say in his first
letter? just this That congress was unjust
and unwise towards the unrepresented states.-
That it would have been just and wise and good
policy where representative, legally elected,
appeared and showed himself to be u loyal man,
to have admitted him to q seat.
mir Beecher tells the truth in his second let
ter, when he declares a middle course between
the President and congress was the true path,
and nine out of every ten of the union party two
months since would have said amen to that, and
nothing since has occurred which changes the
principles involved one iota
Congress did err, and he is a coward who is
afraid of the consequences of saying so''

A radical contemporary wants to know
why the south does not accept the amend

gress? Why demand of the south that i.
shall accept as part of the organic law what
Thaddeus Stevens said he would not give
''the snap of his finger" for, and Mr.. Bout
well has denounced as humDug and cheat,
and Wendell Phillips has declared to have
been passed by congress with no serious in
tent of securing its adoption by the legisls-
lures of the states either north or SOUTH
but was intended only as means of bridg
ing over the fall elections and securing to the
radicals longer lease of power? There is
no sense In putting such question to the
south until the radicals have first answered
it for themselves. They cannot expect that
section to adopt what they repudiats on the
instant of its passage by congress. Wendell
Phillips spoke the truth in calling ID On cleo
tionsering dodge; that is the precise use 1t is
being put to now.

Firstly-"Traitors must be punished.

Thirdiy-'Northern copperheads and southern

Conclusion-'everybody ought to vote for

and during all that time che did not says the
Free Trader, 'give utterance to single idea
that did not resolve itself into one ofthese''
In all the speeches that he has thus far made
in the campaign, Logan has not make a single
argument. 1t is entirely safe say that he will
not make one. The only argument he ever at
tempted to make in favor of the rebels He
has not brains enough to refute even his own
