ia The indications are that the Pres
ident is about to proclaim universal am
nesty for all ogenses growing out Of the
war. How he has delayed so long
already is a mystery 10 Europe and
America. So clearly wise and states
manlike is such a measure that il com
mends itself at once to every patriot as
one Of paei6cation, and to every bust
ness man as a measure fraught with i'm
portanee to the peeuniary interests aud
well being Of all sections. Confidence
must be restored, and the North and
South prosper together, or prosper
neither ever will. The South cannot re-
main in anarchy and be impoverished
and At the same time be q market for the
North. 1t cannot prosper when capital
dare not come to it. Nor will the North
be able to pay the taxes If the South is
rendered powerless TO aid. Throw aside
all question Of magnanimity in the mat.
ter, there are reasons enough for amnes-
= 70 satisfy a iyraut that it is the only
wise and slaiesmanlike policy, and the
only one BY which, Tor any long time,
be can hold his throne.

H6s- Tie Radicals hereabouts profess
to be better friends of the African race
than the Conservatives. The profession
is false. 1t is all profession and no
practice. 1t is an easy matter to estab-
lish friendship, If hollow professions of
good will will do it without kind acts and
charity. Test the thing. How much do
the Radicals give their pretended friends
of the sable hue ? Do they give them as
much as the Conservatives The Afri.
cans have voted with the Radicals and
against the Conservatives, and some
Conservatives have turned them off
The Radicals howl and talk about their
love for the dear colored man. What
good do they do him2 How much money
do they give him2 The Conservatives
do great deal and give a great deal and
don't talk about it. The Radicals do a
great deal of talking and no giving Who
ever heard of Radicals heart opening
and Smelling out the rhino2 Is he your
friend who is always SO busy being sorry
for you that he never can give Let the
Radicals put their ugly fists down in
their full pockets and draw out half as
much as the Conservatives do out of
their almost empty pockets, and then
the colored man can tell who is his
friend. A Radicals money is the only
good thing about him; and if he will not
give some of that he is no friend of the
African.

S6s- We used to think, when Know
Nothiugism was rife In the country, thai
the people among whom II had its origin
and who chiefly represented it in the
Northern States, were far less the friends
of the Southern people, and would prove
so in the end, than the foreigners it was
the policy of that ism to silence. Hence
though on the Wing side at that day, we
could not adhere to it, although it aimed
in part to sustain Wing views and
measures. The result has shown that
our conclusions were not erroneous.
We are informed by one of our ex'
changes that in some sections OF the
Western Reserve, in Ohio, where the
Radicals are in such large majority as to
be quite fearless in avowing their true
sentiments, they are reviying the old
Knownbthing crusade against foreigners.
The Cleveland Herald, the chief organ
of the northern Ohio Radicals, uses this
language: 1--WE unhesitatingly aver
that seven -tenths of the foreigners in
our land, who live in obedience to the
Pope of Rome, are not as intelligent as
the full bloodsd African of our State
we will not include the part blood"
The Western Reserve having been
settled by the descendants of the Puri-
tans, are so bitter against the Catholic
faith as to refuse religious liberty to all
Catholics. They want only the power,
and the Catholic worship will be prohib-
tied in this country, with all other
religions and views not sufficiently in
accordance with, not to endanger,
their own. They are natural ty-
rants. And this Western Reserve
Radical section is on the Radical
side because it promises most iavorably
in the aid of the system of religious
intolerance which they are paving the
way to erect. We do not know whether
any so called Catholics are Radicals.
But we do know that no good Catholics
will or should be so and that they must
be grossly mistaken, both as to their
true friends and true interests, if any
are. If man would have constitutional
religious liberty, let him beware how he
lends his aid to build up party which
will crush it out of sight as certainly as
it has the power. If the Radical party
plays the tyrant where it is popular
enough to embolden its members to
speak their true sentiments, rely on it
there is danger in trusting the fair pro-
LESSONS of that party in places and Sec
tons where it is too weak to venture on
candor.
