Seymour & Co.; "but debt will be piled on
debt, tax on tax, until every mans farm or
house win be mortgsged for more than 1t is
worth, while oonscription after oonsoription
will exhaust the ife-blood Of the country; and
the end will be disunion, national bankruptcy,
and repudiaton. To escape these, you must
vote for Mcclellan"
A very large minority of the people credited
these assertions, and voted accordingly; but
the majority did not, and reelected Lincoln.
And scarcely had the latter been reingurated
when the whole fabric of Rebellion tumbed
into hopeless ruin, and the land was at peace.
The work of reconstruotion, which followed
next in order, has been nearly completed. It
was delayed q full year by the mistake of
Offering to the South a programme which
would have allowed the late Rebels to resume
the undisputed control of their several States
and trample the loyal blacks under their feet.
This was happily rejected by the Rebels; but
the consequent delay is not fairly chargsable
to the radicals. The truth that there was no
true, Just or safe reconstruction which did
not put the voluntary Unionists of the South
al least on par with the involuntary being
now made plain, Congress tried again; and
now the process Of reconstruction is peace
fully and vigorously going forward. Before
Congress can take its next summer vacation,
every State will have its own Government,
will be represented in both Houses, and be
ready to vote for President next November.
What does conservatism propose te do
about it
The World answers this question as fol-
lows:-
"By the recent elections, the people have de-
cided that they do not want negro suffrage, and
| do want restoration; have decided that negro
suffrage is too great price TO pay even for Inn
mediate restoration, They will be incensed If,
after this decision, the Republicans continue to
insist on wholly impracticable scheme.
"Ihe fact that negro Governments are in pro-
cess of organization and that Congress may
admit their representatives, does not vary the
case, except to render q degrading farce more
| contemplate Certain IL is that the Southern
| people will never recognize these bastard Gov
| ernments as having the slightest validity.
| Within four months after the Presidential olec-
ton heavy battering ram will tumble them
| into shapeless rubbish. The southern people
| will Immediately reorganize, hold new elec.
tlons, GUST the negroes, send their own repre-,
sentatives to Washington, and the House will
| at once admit them, The Southern Senators,
| plus the conservative Senators from the North,
| Will form majority of that body, organize as
| such, ard neither the House nor the President
| VIII recognize any other Senate. This course is
| entirely feasible, will be perfectly constitu-
| tional, and hey ond all question adopted if tine
| radicals are insane or wayward enough to
recognize the negro Governments after this
| great Tebuke. The only thing that could pre-
| vent IL would be acquiescence by the Southern
| whites in the radical scheme. Whoever expects
| refutaiion."
The people will see that this is a pro-
gramme of undisguised revolution-a new
phase of the old Rebellion. The World does
not say that its party will repudiate the autho-
rity of the present House of Representatives to
count the votes for President and declare the
result, and that it will refuse to recognize any
President chosen by the radically-recon-
structed States; but any one can see that what
it does assert logically involves these. In
other words: sham Democracy contemplates a
fresh Rebellion whereby to recover what it
lost by It's last unlucky experiment with fire.
arms. 1t was thus that st. Domingo was
whelmed in bloody ashes. Emancipation was
peacefully effected; but the attempt to re6n-
slave the blacks resulted in unspeskable hor-
rors. This people, forewarned will shun the
abyss of anarchy and murder to which the
World would hurry us. They will elect Re-
publican President and Congress by the vote
of both North and South, and thus preclude the
execution of the sanguinary programme o
| rebellion.
