WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN, AND
SHOULD BE

A common and mutual interest is the
only true bond of Federal union between
the sections and States nationlized as the
United States Of America. The trainers
Of the constitution knew this, and its
every line bears evidence of the fact A
combination of idealists and political
demagogues in league with the interests
of one section against the other, with the
intention to control and monopolize the
government in its behalf, was the origin
of our severance and late civil war The
same unholy alliance, flushed with par
tial success, has kept the Union in state
Of virtual dissolution, in order to complete
this monopoly. The denial of the right
of separate State governments; the fnan-
cial system; the cotton tax; the military
enforcement of negro suffrage; all, are
to subordinate the material interests of
one section to the behests of the
other. The Union, in the strength that
chiefly comes from mutually of interests,
can never be restored until that scheme
is abandoned. Each State, North, East,
Middle, West and South, loyal (so-called)
or Rebel (so-called), must have an equal
and independent voice in the Federal
Legislature Any forced measure as a
guarantee" or any prescribed condi~
tons, will fail to secure harmony will
bear unequally upon certain interests
will beget alienation and discord viii
prolong the anarchy of counsels now
prevailing, which cannot long continue
without the interference of the otrong
arm to enforce and perpetuate a unity,
in which the interests of all will suffer,
and under which all semblance Of free
COVE rnment will be destroyed
The New York World, referring to
Won Bismarck late circular TO the rep
resentatives of the States of the German
Confederation urging the sanctions of
mutual commercial interest under the
Zollverein, as an inducement to forego all
differences upon other subjects, and make
Germany a national unit; and extolling
it as a craftsmanship equal to the gener
alship which Prussia Prime Minister
has heretofore exhibited, gives the follow
ing historical Renaissance of Stephen A.
Douglas and the opening Of our civil
contest
Before the late war in this country had
begun, and during its early stages, to the
end of his life, the late Stephen A. Douglas
regarded such an arrangement as Bismarck
has now accomplished between northern
and southern Germany "a a temporary
measure through which, ultimately, the
permanent union Of the States could more
easily be accomplished than through war,
and thought that expenditure of life and
treasure with lite consequent corruption
and the bitter feelings it has left behind,
might be avoided. In the February pre-
ceding his death he introduced these views
in brief speech in the Senate, anticipa-
ting that not only the Northern States, but
even Mexico and Canada would be induced,
by perception Of their own obvious in

Some time last year the Governor APP
pointed A c. Hickey, Esq, Attorney

be tolerated.

The Chicago Tribune discussing the
Congressional plan of reconstruction as
a political issue, says
The opponents Of reconstruction on this
plan demand the exclusion Of every man
from political privileges who took no mari
in the rebellion, and ask that suffrage he
confined exclusively TO the white Rebels.
including even those who are yet excepted
from Andrew Johnson's amnesty.
This is the grossest peryersion Of truth
that we have met with in any Journal
outside Of Tennessee. The Exclusion OF
every man who took no part in the rebel
lion, is not desired by anybody, and has
never been put forward as a tenet of po-
litical action by anybody in the South.
There is not the slightest foundation for
the statement
