No power was given to the military arm to
interfere with or supervise them. And
lastly, though very many leading and inhu- |
entail citizens were disffaDchised, it was
provided that they might be released by
vote of the two Houses Of Congress. 1t
was patent that ''the part" meant to usurp
the pardoning power, and hoping that by
its exercise they might purchase the South
crn leaders, and thus control portion at
least Of the Southern vote for the next
Pre- idential election.
In the meantime, We observe that the
Radicals were sounding carefully the South
cru mind on the subject of party associa-
tion. With many it was favorite idea to
exclude the South by artful delays from the
Presidential vote, aud thus propose 20 buy
her vote by appropriations for the MissiS-
sippi leyees aud aid in rebuilding railroads,
Sc.-a munifcence that would have been
truly grand had the money come from their
own po, ,kets and the object of the bounty
not quite 20 obvious 1t must not be for
gotten that all this while the Radicals left
themselves open to strike hands with the
| Southern whites. If they could get them
| to vote their ticket for President, what need
to make voter out of Cuffee? And all
this time, too, the special friends Of Cuffec
were Knocking at the Radical caucus door
and vainly pleading for manhood suffrage.
| We hasten on-our limits compel. The
Constitutional Amendment presented to
the South for her voluntary adoption is re-
rejected. The amendment could only have
been sent to those States on the theory tha
they constituted part Of the Union an(
had a right to vote on its adoption; anl il
a right to vote, then also a right to reject t
If not, why ask their assent at all?
No sooner is the aman1mant rejected
than this admission is forgotten, Ignored
and its obvio1s logic repudiated. thG
Southern States are to be punished, 81
sword is to be put to every mans throat,
! the blacks are to be enfranchised by whole
