NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Alarmed,


The Boston Adcertiser-an organ
of the party. now in power--speaking
OF the proposition of some crazy fa-
natics, that Congress should "recon-
struct Maryland" scouts the idea
and says: eff we permit this. we shall
have Congress reconstructing the
Northern States next" We notice,
also, that a Mr.. Lunt, of Boston, in
an able letter recently published,
clearly foresees that the inevitable re-
suit OF exclusive legislation against o
part of the country must be to the
detriment of the whole. He says
1.-THE effect OF military admins.
tration at the South is evident. Such
q government will repress it's awaken
ing, effectually cripple the poor re-
mains of its means, return again un-
productive into the soil the sprouting
seeds of expected prosperity. The
effect of such state of things upon
the business affi.irs of the country at
large is no less evident The trade
of the North fourished during the
war, III consequence of the de-
mands which the war itself created.
The cessation of those demands is
ONE chief reason of the present stag
nation. But how long will the pro
ducers of the West, who once enjoyed
so lucrative q field of enterprise at
the South, be content to sec it lie
fallow? How long will the manufao-
turers of the East and of the Middle
States be satisfied with such an inter.
ruption of trade, instead of their
commemorative market, through
| out once most hourishing and
bounteous portion of the land? How
long will the merchants along our
grand line of maritime coast, whose
ships, now for years laid up 70 rot, or
sold into foreign lands, once bore the
immepso products of the South across
the ocean, and brought back golden
proceeds in return, be willing to sub
init to policy which locks up and
dooms us to comparative impoyerish
ment and emptiness, with the means
of abundance all around us; which
shuts up the breathing pores of the
body polite, and cuts off the very
supplies of life?
Military government in one part OF
the country means, necessarily, prac-
tical despotism throughout the whole
of it. To carry the system into
effect, and to keep it in working
order, intimidation, force and the
most hateful outrages upon private
liberty may at length be deemed me-
cessary.' Such, in my opinion, are
the natural and unavoidable conse-
quences ofthe Congressional policy"

GEN. MCCAUsLAND.-It will be gra-
tifying to the numerous friends of
Gen. McCausland, says the Fincastle
Herald, to learn that he is residing at
his home in Mason County, West
Virginia, secure, it is to be hoped,
from the malice of his foes. He has
been favored by Gen. Grant with a
letter which exempts him from any
danger of Imprisonment or trial for
the Chambersburg affair, and he has
every assurance of protection from
the authorities of the State of West
Virginia. The kind offices Of Judge
Nat. Harrison were strenuously ex-
erted in his favor, and had great in
huence in bringing about this desir-
able result.

We have received from the Metro-

REPRESENTATION A DUTY AS WE'LL AS

The object Of the late war was to re-es-
tablsh the authority OF the United State.

The Constitu tiun and the laws were Just
as operative there ia spirit. though not in
Fact, as they were in the legal States. 1t
was just as much the duty OF South Caro-,
llnlan to respect Federal process, to pay
Federal impost, as it was The duty Of a
New Yorker. But the combination against
the performance oi that aud similar duties
prevented even loyally disposed citizens
from Observing the law. Immediately af-
ter the surrender Of Lee the Southern peo.
pie began 20 exhibit their easerness TO re.
sume their allegiance. The Federal judges
were welcomed, the Post Office Depart.
ment was unobstrscted I; the cutoms duties
were collected, the internal revenue taxes
were pald. Bot it was no more the duty Of
Southern citizens 10 pay taxes, serve on
Federal iuries, and The like. than it was to
send representatives to Congress. They
could have been justly charged with recre,-
ancy il they had simply yielded passive
acqulescsnce to what they could not help,
and had declined fulfilling the obligations
that required their active co-operation.
This was the danger dreaded by Mr.. Lin
coln. He was apprehensise that pail of
resisting sulenness would settle over the
Southern people, which would make them
not only indifferent to th. duty of repre-.
senIation, but steadily syerse to it. For.
tunately for the country. the South was iE

would have been sorely puzzled to find
material for judges, Tor district attorneys,
for collectors, &c.; but. as il is. no such
i'll concealed aversion as marked the sub
mission Of the Scotch. the Irish. or the
Poles to superior power was exhibited.
The Southern people believed cur declara-
tion that we sought to restore the Union
and The Constitution in good faith, and act
ed on that belief. But the Radical men
talk about representation as il it was oniy
a buon TO be conferred or wiirheld by the
