which had given birth to the oiiense. And
when parties were pretty equally poised,
the secret sympathy of the friends and ia
vorers of the condemned, awaiting itself Of
the good nature and weakness of others,
might frequently bestow impunity where
the terror of an example was necessary.
On the other hand, when the sedition had
proceeded from causes which had inaamed
the resentments of the major party, they
might often be found obstinate and inexo~
rable, when policy demanded a conduct of
forbearance and clemency. But the prin-
cipal argument for repssing the power of
pardoning in this case in the Chief Magis-
trate, is this: In seasons of instruction or
rebellion, there are often critical moments,
when well-timed offer of pardon TO the
insurgents or Rebels may restore the tran
quillity of the commonwealth.

WASHINGTON, September THE In
telligeneer says: During the deliberations

became evident that in the opinion of every
member present, that the legal effect Of the

be to relieve all persons included within its
terms from all disqualification, as well as
all penalties incurred by completely in the
late rebellion, and of course so far as the
action of the general government is con-

TIE Projection OF THE FLAG.-Ths
New York Tribune, referring to the ques-
ton whether the blacks are dying out, +"
says:
Many slaves who ran awaw from the
plantations to find protection under the
Federal flag in New Orlerns, Nashville,
Memphis, Washington, etc, budding in
rude novels which they overcrowded, suf-
fering every privation and tempted by
every vice, fell sick and died.
The fact stated was already well
known, but it was never so fairly adj
mitted before, that we have observed
There were dther places besides those
named, in Arkansas and Mississippi
where the protection of the Federal
Aag" lured them to the same frightful suf-
fering and mortality
As to the question of the elimination Of
the race, the Tribune contends that it has
about retained its ante-war proportion to
the whites The statement from Gen.
Howard, Of the Freedmens Bureau, in
January last, exhibited a positive de-
crease, of several hundred thousand
The real question, however, is not to. be
determined by the fact that their num-
bers are stationary. The permdnency Of
the race requires increase. This cannot
be shown for the past six years

EXTREME RADICALIsm IN TENNEs-

A few weeks ago, the editor of the
Jonesboro Union Flag, announced him
self as a candidate for a clerkship in the
Tennessee Legislature. Still later he de-
clared in his paper in favor of Governor
Brownlow for United States Senator in
place of Hon. D. T. Patterson. In his
paper of the 10th inst, he thus lays down
his platform:
OUR PLATFoRM.-We are in favor of the
entire Acknowledgement of the colored race,
and the Acknowledgement of the Rebels of
the South until it is safe to intrust them
with the ballot The Congressional policy
of reconstruction, the confscation of Rebel
property sufficient to pay the expenses Of
the war, and remunerate loyal men for their
losses incurred thereby, and we will sup
port no man for the Presidency who will
not commit himself to this platform of
right and Justice.

Am NFSTNs


The announcement that the President
purposed to issue a Proclamation of AM
nesty to offenders against the authority
Of the government during the late civil
war, supplemental to and much more ex,
tended than that issued on the Goth Of
May, 1865, has provoked much discussion
as to his power in the premises and also
regarding its effect to relieve amnestied
parties from political disabilities We
published yesterday an article from the
Chicago Times which should be conclu~
sive to every candid mind, that the power
to grant amnesty inheres in the Execu-
tive by the constitution, and is above all
authority that Congress can give or with
hold 1t is clearly established both on
principle and as according with prece-
dent The argument that the Presidential
amnesty restores all forfeited political
rights, whether lost under law enacted
previous or subsequent to the offense is
equally strong and irrefutable.
An sss;y is defined by the highest au-
thogi, an act of oblivion for past
ofenses making an oEense as if it had
never been, penalties Of all kinds falling
as a matter Of course when the offease is
extinguished 1t is also declared by the
same authority that amnesty may be
granted either before judgment, or gttere
apard, and it is in general given to whole
classes Of criminals, or supposed crimi-
malls, for the purpose Of restoring tran
guilty in the State
As corroborative of the positions taken
by the Times we extract the following
from the seventy-fourth number of the
Federalsf and from the pen of Alexander
Hamilton. 1t viii be seen that the def
nitions of amnesty above given describes
accurately the power which Hamilton
declares to be lodged in the Executive,
and the propriety of which he SO forcibly
defends:
The expediency Of vesting the power Of
pardoning in the President has, If / mis-
take not, been only contested in relation
to the crime Of treason. This, 1t has been
urged, ought to have depended upon the
assent Of one, or both Of the branches Of
he Legislative body. / shall not deny
that there are strong reasons to be assigned
for requiring in this particular the concur
renee Of that body, or Of part Of II. As
treason is a crime leveled at the immediate
being Of the society, when the laws have
once ascertained the guilt of the offender,
there seems fitness in referring the expe-
cheney Of an act Of mercy towards him 70
the judgment of the Legislature. And this
ought the rather TO be the case, as the sup
position Of the connivance of the Chief
Magis1rste ought not TO be entirely ex-
Guided. Bot there are also strong obiec-
IONS 10 such a plan. Il is not 70 be
doubted, that single man of prudence
and good sense ia better fitted. in delicate
conJunctures, 20 balaDee the motives which
may plead for and against the remission of
the punishment, than any numerous bosv
whatever. IL deserves par4ic,I,r .tto,',;.,s

Another proclamation, similar tothe one
issued to-day, win soon be put forth, but

wider range. With it possibly may be pub

for vigorous measures on the part of the
Executive. The correspondence withheld

THE RIGHT ROOT. BUT THE WRONG
FROT

The editor of the Murfreesboro Monitor,
who knows what be is talking about, says ;
We have received circular letter under
the frank of Tribulation Sheep Shanks,
member of Congress, requesting US to in
form the committee lately appointed by
Congress, of any instances of mistreatment
Of prisoners by the Confederates that have
come to our knowledge. IF he is particu-
larly solicitous in the matter, we might
with very little trouble give him scores of
instances where Confederate prisoners we're
murdered in the Federal prisons of Rock
Island, Elmira and Camp Chase-where
hundreds upon hundreds were either bru-
tally tortured or literally starved or frozen
to death-where they we're subjected to
every species of brutality that fendish,
cowardly malignity could suggest. If
Shanks wants anything Of that kind, We
can supply him with just as much as he
wants.
