THE NEW NATION.

-
We did not hear the editor of the
Unionist deliver his Lecture last Sat
urday evening;-we can always bet
ter employ our time than to listen to
such stuff;-but by n friend who did
hear him, and the last Journal, we
are tolerably well posted as to the
subject-matter of the Lecture. Most
of 1t was historical. The lecturer
went way back to the landing of the
Pilgrims, &c, and spouted away till
he came down TO the present time
But he made no points ; he discussed
none of the Issues of the day. He
ignored tho tariff, the negro ques-
|tions, taxation of bonds, and the ma
|%tional debt. But he dwelt quite
lengthily on effete issues, and address
ed himself to the passions and preju-
dices of his hearers.
We are told that he remarked that
"Stonewall Jackson is in hell, and
that a seat beside him is vacant await
ing JEFF. Davis" Mr.. Bcecher, q
shining light of the Mongrels, thinks
lStonewall Jackson was not only a
great man and skiIlfnl General, but
that he was an exemplary Christian.
$50 it will be seen that two psodigious
minds differ on this question. The
lecturer thinks Lincoln IL in heaven.
Perhaps he is 1T is not for US to de-
eide. But if he is, Stonewall Jack
son's salvation is certain. After he
made a profession of religion he dis.
charged the duties of "A Christian with
most scrupulous fidelity. No man
can say anything against his private
or Christian character. Lincoln, how
lever, was not even a professor of re
ligion. In 1860 VIC were told by his
Springfield pastor that he was an inf
del and all the world now knows
he was a most smutty joker and ac
complished blackguard; and he re
lceived his death-wound in n theatre
on Good Friday day held sacred
i, by a large portion of the religious
world.
fit be true that Stoncwall Jackson
e is in Hadcs we think the "late lament
! ed and saintcd Lincoln" must b,
alongside of him.
We are told the Lecturer culogizc'
. old John Brown, and contended tina
r he was a patriot and pure Christian
Perhaps he was but he, too, had
singular way of manifesting his Chris
titan procliyities. Il Fan easily b
! proven by official records that he wa
: guilty of arson, robbery and murder
II is true he committed all these an
other crimes under the cloak of relie

greater scoundrel and villain. Ii h

The Rev. J. G. Fletcher gave us last evening, a
brilliant lecture on the religion, customs and PEG.
pie of Brazil. Seldom have we relished anything
more than the picture he laid before his audience
of that cxuberant garden or the tropics laden with
its strange variety of fruits and flowers, teeming
with perpetual harvest for the hand of man. Sure
" that country must be the garden Of the world,
and if its people had the enterprise which moves
this Yankee nation, imagination could not set o
bound to the results they would produce there.
As relevant to this comparison the Reverend gen.
tleman stated that the best Remedies employed
there for the diseases to which they are subject,
are invented and supplied to them by our own well
known c~ountryman, Or. J. C. Aver ofLowell, Mass.
and that not the people only but the priesthood and
the court of the Emperor down, have constant re-
course in sickness to the Remedies of this widely
celebrated American ohemist,-Ledger, Boston.

On the eth of December, 1863, Mr..
Lincoln issued an amnesty Procla-
nation" in which lie offered a Stree
pardon" to the great mass of the
"rcbels," on condition Of taking an
oath to support the federal Constitu-
ton and Union (; and also to "abide
by and faithfully support all acts of
Congress passed during the existing
Rebellion having reference to slaves,
so long and so far as not modified by
decision of the Supreme Court"
On the 30th of March, 1864, a Gun
ion State Convention " was held here
in Albany, which adopted a Platform,
the third Resolution of which reads
thus:
"Resolred, That the Amnesty Proclamation for
the benefit Of Fepenting rebels. backed as 1t Is, by
the splendid victories Of our armies, has our cor
dial appreciation as a peace measure, alike honor
able and magnanimoua."
What position do these same Radi-
Gals occupy nov on this subject? The
rebels have abolished slavery; they
have repudiated their public debt =
they have done all, and even much
more than Mr.. Lincoln required of
them, and yet President Johnson is
virulently and bitterly assailed for
granting them 'free pardons." Now
that they have laid down their arms,
these Radicals would not only grant
them no pardon, but would disfran.
chisc them and govern them by the
ignorant negro and the five satraps of
the South and the army under them.
If, in 1854, it was right for Mr.. Lin
coin to grant a "free pardon" to re-
pentant rebels-thus restoring them
to all their ancient rights and privil-
Ieges under the CONSTITUTIONAL is
right and magnanimous now to do so;
and if, in 1864, such a policy received
the "cordial appreciation of the Rad
icals of Oregon, on the ground of its
being honorable and magnanimous,n
why do they mathematics the man
whom they themselves elevated to of
fee, for attempting to carry it out in
the very manner indicated by Lin
