On the first page We publish a large
number Of extracts from Southern
papers showing that the reconstruction
measures are received by the disloyaI-
ists of that section with less opposition
and denunesation than they are By the
/ Copperheads Of the North, and that
the prevailing sentiment among the
rebels is one of not only submission
but active acquiescenee. A Republi-
can party is being rapidly organized
ia the South and the leading disloyai-
/ lists fear nothing SO much as that all
/ political power and influence will fall
! into its hands, as will be certainly the
the czse if they pursue a do-nothing
policy.
To the good counsel Of the South
ern press and leaders above referred
to. we may now add letter from Gen.
Beauregard to the New Orleans Times
IN which he counsels compliance, with
the reconstruction plan and even sets
forth several reasons Why the ballot
should be conceded to the freedmen.
He believes, indeed. that the negro
may he made va uable auxiliary in
furthering Southern political interests.
Governor Patton, of Alabama, has re-
piled to the enquiries of several eiti-
zens of that State In a long lester ad-
vising that reconstruction be achieved
at once under the provisions of the
bill. He eounsels that the freedmen
be allowed to exercise the elective
franchise freely and in their own way
and that the citizens of Alabama dis
courage everything which may tend to
generate antagonism between white
and eolOred voters. F"
He Is convinced that hitherto too
little consideration has been accorded
to Congress, and has regretted to
fnd such an unfriendly disposition
toward it." He says it would have
been better for Alabama if proper
concessions had been made to Con
gressional requirements and that the
State should not be continued in an
attitude Of hostility to the law-mak-
ing power of the Government
The Macon, (Ga) Messenger de-
nounces President johnson and the
Northern Copperheads in the severest
terms, and says it prefers old Ben
Wade, cid Thad. Stevens and old
Horace Greeley to johnson or Ray

These signs are encouraging. Let
the Northern people be true to Con
gress and the right anf< all will be

1t is quite evident that a concerted
insurrection by several States Of the
Union was never anticipated by the
framors of the Constitution. If such
a thing was thought of its probabili-
ties were considered too remote to be
taken into account, or else the event
was regarded as one of those dire cpl
sodes In human affairs, the exigenoies
of which human sagaeity capnot fore
cast nor any organic law provide for.
Should it-be asked, . says Mr.. Madi-
son, what is 30 be the redress for an
insurrection pervading all the States,
ard comprising a superiority of the
entire force though not a constitutions
al right? The answer must be. that
such a case, as it would be l1itHout the
compass Of human remedies, so it is fo4-
tunately not lbithin the compass of hu-
man probability; and that it is a suf-
fcient recommendation Of the federal
constitution, that it diminishes the
risk of calamity, for e0kich no possible
constitution can pro0ide clre.' -
These words were spoken while the
ratification Of the Constitution by the
original thiiteen States was still, pend
ing, and they show. eonclusiveIy that
in Mr.. Madison's judgment no effort
was made to provide in the Constitu-
tion for the cxige1cies of a great re-
bellion. Conflicts of interest. and
opinion between different sections
were clearly apprehended, and an ami
able adjustment of such differences
was SO fully provided fer as to remove
all necessity for resort to force. IF,
therefore, a great insurrection was not
reached in the compass Of constitu-
tional legislation, it was at least left
without sufficient cause or excuse, and
should such an event happen, it was
hoped it would bemet by such special
legislation and other remedies as the
occasion might demand OF the eireum-
stances justify,
Again, says Mr. Madison, in the
same connection as above quoted
Among the advantages Of a confed
crate republic, enumerated by Monies
quieu, an important one is. 'thatshould
popular insurrection happen in one
uf the States, the others are able to qlleLL
"a Should abuses creep into one part
7hey are reformed by those that remain
sound" Here we have the opinion
of Mr.. Madison clearly expressed that
in case a great rebellion by one or more
States should occur it will be the duty
of the others" that is, those that re-
main loyal, to quell il" and that
should great abuses. such as defiance
of the laws and open rebellion sgainst
Ihe rightful government be committed
by one class of States. such abuses must

sound (loyal.) Indeed this opinion
is so obviously correct that it is scarce /

pure a patriot as James Madison to
