RECONSTRUCTION VERSUS SECEs-
sIoN-Col. Forney, in his Washington
correspondence, thus vigorously con
demns the insane howl raised by the
Copperhcads about the Southern cleo
tons:
DO you call that an election p is
the outcry ehorussed by the rebel
chiefs and their Copperhead associates,
as they point to the votes calling con-
venti0ns in Alabama and Louisiana.
"What a farce t'' echoes J Jefferson Da-
Wis from Canada "W hat an outrage s
responds c. L ValiandIgham from
Ohio. What a tyranny ]" ezclaIms
Fernando Wood Of New York. And
vet these very men drove the white
people Of the South to the polls IN
1S60-61, and forced them to vote for
secession, In spite of their pIte0us ap-
peals and earnest protests. Who that
Tecollects the frauds By which some OF
these States were carried, and the vIo-
Ience by which others we're dragged out
of the Union, viii not regard this new
outcry of the authors of the rebellion
with contempt ? They entered upon
that experiment boldly for the peTpet-
uation Of slavery and the division Of a
happy country, and when the war
opened they forced the Union masses
to bear arms, or conhscated their es-
states, or constrained them to till the
soil for the sustenance of their troops.
Such was the resultof that decree of
force aud fraud. But the men who
are now voting IN the unrecOnstructed
States are voting for peace, for unlveT-
sal suffrage, for prosperity, forgiveness
even of the authors Of all our calam-
tiles, for the preservation Of the pub
/ lie credit, for common schools, for rail
roads, and for Christianity. Does 1t add
either dignity or elOqUenee to the re-
bel and Copperhead complaint that the
authors Of the tyranny which drove
the Southern people to the ballot boxes
in 1861, and compelled them to vote
for their ruin, lUere lghite men, and that
those who are voluntarily and CRATE
fully coming to the ballot-boxe il
1867, in the name of constitutional lib
erty and a genuine religion, are mainly
poor, inexperienced negroes ?

Gx-GOvernCE Thr0ckmOrton Of Tex
as, whose removal from Office for dis
loyalty was one of the last public ac-
tiOns of brave Phil. Sheridan in the De
partment of the Gulf, has written, for
publication, a private letter, in which,
after lamenting that the recent regis
tration orders of Gen. Griffin, instead of
"fllng the whole State with a howl OF
Indignation, - scarcely received a com-
ment or a passing notice, he proceeds to
raise howl Of his own, and to advise
his fellOw-citizens in the most violent
language inst'hOlding a Convention.
If Texas is re-admitted to the Union, he
urges, under the Congress plan of recon
structiOn, we shall have negroes at the
polls, negroes in the jury-box, and,
worst of all, a Radical Government,
with the certainty of a Radical elecboT-
al vote for President. But, if we hold
out, Andy Johnson viii yet conquer
He viii get us in again on our own
terms. His proclamation of amnesty
viii enfranchise every one Of US, and
enable US to beat the internal niggers as
badly at the polls as we used TO beat
them in the cotton fields.
Now, who is it that keeps the South
ern States out of the Union Is it Con-
gress, which offers them generous and
liberal terms of restoration, or the ram
pant rebels like Throckmorton, who
counsel them to stay out until they can
make their return in triumph with the
Confederate cOlOrs flying, and the poor
freedmen chained to their chariot
wheels Tribune

It appears that the great Democratic

those in Iowa. Some of their papers
cipher up a gain Of IL ,6l0iu 35 counties;

more than twice as much. The election

-Four Millions Of our coun srymen late
| ly slaves, are now Free-that is a posi-
/ tive fact. You may dislike it, loathe it,
eXecrate it-but you none the less know
it to be a fact.
Congress in recOnstTucting the States
lately in revolt, has determined that
these Blacks, unless they have volun-
tarily aided the Rebellion, shall vote /;
and they are voting. This is another
important fact. Hate it as you may
you still know it to be fact.
This Congress remains in power for
| nearly two years longer, and the Re
publican majority in the Senate cannot
be subverted within the next four years
Though every election should go against
US meantime, the Senate viii remain
Republican. But it is perectly certain
that the majority will be re-enfOrced
from thesoOn-tO be reconstructed States.
And right well do you know that this
majority will not vote to destroy itself
by DISTINGUISHING the Southern Blacks.
What, do you mean by Conservatism?
Do you mean to keep this whole
country in turmoil and contention
throughout the next four years, in the
d esperate hope that You may thereafter
be able to disfranchise the four millions
OF southern Blacks, and put them I'M
der the feet of their late Rebel masters?
If that is your game, what sort of
crops, Of trade, of payments, can you
expect from the South in the meantime?
What hope can you cherish that the
country will ever be pacified
1t is one thing to deny the Right of
Suffrage to a dOwn-trOdden race it is
quite anO other to deprive them of it af-
ter they have gained and exercised it.
We defy the wit of man to tell how the
Blacks of South Carolina, Mississippi,
and Florida, after they shall have voted
and chosen State officers and Members
Of Congress, are to be disfranchised,
except by usurpation and revolutionary
violence. Virginia has shown You that
they Will not disfranchise themselves.

a correct solution of the query ''How
did we agree to pay our bondel debt, .
is not difficult to arrive at. Secretary
ATcCulloch says, There was no express
ed pledge on the part of the government
that the $40 bonds should be paid in
coin, because no such pledge was need
ed all bonds issued by the government
are considered to be payable in coin ;
all that have been matured have been
| so paid" What, then, was the under
standing of our creditors when we con-
tracted these loans +? Certainly that we
should pay them Gin coin at maturity .
Did we not lspoag that such was the un-
derstanding of our oreditors2 Certain
IL we did. Did we not borrow on the
faith of such an understanding ? Ger
tainly. Could are hare borrowed a dollar
If satcb had not been the understanding ?
Certainly not. Can we then keep good
faith with our creditors and preserve
our national honor in any other way
than by fulfilling our contract as they
understood it, as qge Elleag they under
stood it, and as snch contracts have
always hitherto been understood? =? No
one of common sense and common hon-
esty can answer otherwise than no
What then is onr obvious financial pol
iey2 Not to repudiat but to return as
speedily as possible to specie payments
and make a greenback dollar equiva-
lent to a dollar in gold. And that is
just what the Republican party proposes
to do if its policy is not thwarted. But
before this can be done reputation, in
whatsoever form, must be itself utterly
repudiated by this nation.

er hand the plan is opposed by such
blatant non-eombatants as Toombs,
Perry, Throekmorton and a host Of 9TH
er staY-at-home politicians and army
bummers who though violent instiga-
tors Of secession never risked their pre-
cious skins in fighting for it. The same
is true in the North. Such brave sol
dIers as Grant, Sheridan, sickles, Pope,
Logan, SchOdeld, Geary, Sehenck, How
ard, Hayes, Legget, Cox and a host OF
others that might be named, are decid-
edIy for the Congressional plan, while
such political bUmmers as ValIandig-
ham, Pendleton, Ranney, OIds,. Mili-
gan, Seymour, Ben Wood, MOrrisey,

Of demarkation is distinctly drawn and
as a general rule, separates the best OF
soldiers and most patriotic and faithful
of statesmen from the rebel sympathiz-
ers and the political renegades and

1t is significant fact that all the mill

radically in favor of the Congressional

part which disqualifies leading rebels
from voting and holding Office.
It is quite significant also that the plan
is accepted and its adoption urged by

purely and distinctly at issue was the

emphatic"
''Every man who voted No upon
that amendment practically denies the

who fought for liberty are entitled to
