An Appeal to Republicans.

The national Republican Executive Com
mittee,. having determined to thoroughly
canvass The Southern States, during the en-
suing sumner, has issued an address to the
members of tbs party throughout the Union,
asking for contributions to aid them in the
prosecution of the work they have under
taken-the contributions to be sent to Gov
Marcus L. Ward, Chairman and Treasurer,
Newark, n J. The Committee contem-
plates sending large number of speakers
thither as well as to circulate documents,
to aid the Southern masses to correctly un-
derstand their relation to the government,
to fully comprehend their present social dn-
ties and to extend the Republican organi-
cation throughout all the Southern States
Ia referring to this subject, the Pittsburg
Gazette remarks as follows:
''The determination Of the Republican
Executive Committee to extend the OF GAM
zation Of their party throughout the South
ern States. is not received with favor by
Democrats, either there or here We did
not expect it would be- They want still to
be able to allege at the Republican party
is sectional; and to monopolize the votes Of
the blacks The conception is adapted to
their purposes; but it cannot be realized
In prosecuting the work upon which it has
entered the National Committee ought. and
doubtless will, exercise a sound judgment in
selecting men to represent the party before
Southern audiences. 1t is desirable that in
respect to principles and purpose nothing
should be concealed Perfect frankness
should be displayed On the part of the
blacks, grOundess expectations should not
be excited. On the part of the whites,
needless prejudices and antipathiess hould
not be engendered. The people of the
two sections have common interests, a
common country, and are to share com
mon destiny. The sooner they can be made
to understand each other, the better all
round A very few years will work great
changes in sentiment and opinion among all
classes. The Republican party will take
root in the South, and flourish abundantly.
IL will not be confined mainly to the blacks
Its principles will commend it to the wsites;
and as present exasperations die out-as die
out they will verywhere-ambitious young
men, leaving the traditions of their fathers,
will identify themselves with the new move
ment, which embodies and represents the
best aspirations of the nineteenth century. !"

VIII Il he Dnna Q


The idea that the cession of Canada to
the United States is not only easily attaina-
bic but that it is in some way or other 60
ing, sooner Or later, to be brought about,
prevails quite extensively in well informed
English circles. Says a London letter:
Certain English statesmen, also, profess
to regret that Russian America has antici-
pated them in the real estate business.
They say that it would have been possible,
by transfer of Canada to the United
States, or by simply acquiescing in peace
able annexation, to have settled the Alaba-
ma claims without paying single penny.
Is it too late for such proposition? Those
who discuss the matter hope not; but. on
the contrary, they expect, after waiting a
reasonable time, to obtain for Canada as
good price as Russia got for her icebergs.
Canada is of no use to great Britain, and
is, in fact, an expensive burden, and if it
can be got rid of in this way by settling the
Alabama claims and giving John Bull a lit
tie hard cash into the bargain, everybody
here will be pleased. y
According to this London letter writer,
Mr. Seward would have little difficulty in
purchasing another slice of real estate
on the North of u.s. Will he do it? We
will wait and see

What They Think,

The London correspondent of the New
York Herald says the cession Of Russian
America to the United States is topic far
more talked about in Europe than it is here,
and to European nations it appears to mean
far more than We seem to think in the Uni
ted States. The former reject the consider
alton of furs and fish, land discuss the
probability of an alliance offensive and de-
fensive between the United States and Rus
sia, and the advantages of the loan of an
American fleet to Russia in case OF a gen.
eral European war, which seems probable
at no distant day; for peace conferences
usually lead directly to war, as medicines
sometimes make the patient more instantly

Who is RESPONSIBLE {?

The n. Y Times-though not v,uching
for the truth of the Observation-Disclosures
from what ought to be good authority, as
coming directly from Chief Justice Chase
himself, that he was not in any way party
to the release of Jefferson Davis on bail
He knew nothing whatever of Judge I'm
derwood's intention, was not consulted by
him on that subject, but fully expected that
the trial-would take place, and that he him
self would preside at it. Nor is he now a.
ware of the reasons which led to different
result. Judge Underwood acted in the mat
ter wholly on his own responsibilities far
at least as any persons officially connected
with the government were concerned. 1t
begins to look as though nobody had any
thing to do with the proceeding-tha is,
nobody who is willing to confess it to the
full extent.

TaE RAFTsMAn's JOURNAL,
How it is Received.

1t is worth while to note how the bailing
of jeff. Davis is received at the South.
The Richmond Whig says
''The generous course pursued toward
Mr. Davis yesterday was one OF the most
effective reconstruction steps yet taken 1t
was indeed a stride in that direction. But
the LEGAL action taken was not all that we
feel called upon to notice. That action was
accompanied and embellished by circum-
stances of courtesy and cordial generosity
from Northern and Republican gentlemen
of distinction and influence, which will go
far to commend them to the grateful con-
sideration of the South. They joined our
own Firginians in both bail bonds and con-
gratulations. In SO doing, they illustrated
their magnanimity, and in one moment lev
eled barriers that might have remained for
years.
The Lynchburg Iirginian says:
''An obstacle in the way of reconstruction
has been broken down; and the Federal
Court at Richmond did more yesterday
towards healing the wounds of the nation
and restoring good will and harmony than
has ever been done before. We hail the
event as an auspicious one, fraught with
good, and recognize the present as fortu-
nate time for both sections of the Union to
set out with new purpose to bury their
animosities and meet together on common
ground Of justice, peace and fraternity. "
If the people Of the South shall generally
accept the release of Mr.. Davis in that
spirit, who shall say that Mercy and Mag
nanimity may not win victory equal to
that gained by Courage and Endurance on
the battlefield?
