abridgment of the privileges and i'm
munities Of the colored people" and there
fore unconstitutional, then all State restrio-
hons on the colored vote, including the
property qualification in New York, must in
like manner be adjudged in conflict with the
Constitution and null and void. Yet another
proposition on the part Of the disappointed
radicals Is for Congress to declare that If the
colored members Of the Georgia Legislature are
not entitled to seats the ratification of the con-
stitutional amendment by that State was
illegal and insufficient, and hence the State is
not entitled to representation in Congress, or
to vote in the Electoral College. But by
what process is State to be turned out Of the
Union when she is once In IL Z Congress has
spent four years in endeavorng to get the
Southern States reconstructed but by what
right will IL undertake to expel State from
the confederation after she has taken her place
side by side with her sister sovereignties
The fact is that the business of reconstruc-
tion has been from first to last mass of
blunders, folly, and wi"kedness. 1t was
botched by President Johnson, when he made
his provisional governments without calling
Congress together, and acting in concert with
the law-making power. II has been muddled
by Congress ever since the radicals hit upon
the policy of Africanizing the South and
securing its negro votes for their party. The
people are heartily weary of it; and the best
tnlnB congress can now do is to leave 1t
alone and suffer it to work out its own re-
suits In its own way. One of the principal
objections to the success of the Democratic
candidates in the approaching election has
been the knowledge that they would sweep
away al that has been thus far done towards
reconstructing the Southern States, and COM
mence the labor anew after some fashion of
their own. 1t would be a suicidal
policy for the Republican Congress to
meet now and attempt to disturb their
work, badly as it has been done, and to
reopen the question of reconstruction for the
sake of saving few electoral votes here and
there to their candidates. They had better
leave the matter in the hands of General Grant
and the voters of the loyal States. The people
do not relish the Congressional policy, with its
hordes of negro electors and its disfranchise-
ment of white men; but they believe that the
Southern States will speedily amend the Con-
stitutioEs that have been forced upon them
and secure to themselves good, sound, and
beneficial systems of government, and they
have confidence that General Grant will pro-
tect all citizens in their rights, North and
South, white and black. This is the safety Of
the Republican party, as we'll as of the coun-
try, and the less tinkeripg Congress does be-
tween now and the day of election the better.
II General Grant is to be successful at the
polls it must be in spite OF the radical Congress
and its policy, and not through any aid it can
extend to him.

The radical party has snbverted the Con-

The radical party has subverted the Con-
stitution and changed the form of our Repub-
lioan Government. 1t is upon this that they
base their pretentions to be supported as the
party of claw and order" and they conf
IDENTIFY appeal to lunatics to support it.
An Englishman has said that 'England was
governed by twenty millions of people, mostly
fools," and Swift remarked in his oaustic way,
that 'the world was made to be ruled by
blockheads." The success Of radicalism in
November would prove that it has not mis-
calculated the force of folly in this country.
And the nomination and election of Grant
would furnish another glaring example of the
strength of blookheadism. But radcalism
will be disappointed. The movements of the
people already indicate that flash of intelli-
gence has revealed the precipice which they
approach, and they refuse to be longer driven
like herd of unreasoning buffalo in that
direction.

HypOcrasy.

From The Petersburg va Inder.
What a glaring hypocrisy is the pretense
of the radical party that il desires the happy
restoration of the Union The simple truth
is that the radical party can base its hopes OF
prolonged tenure of power only upon the
supposition that We are a nation of lunatics.
Having had absolute control of the country,
North and South, since the close of the war,
it alone had the power to restore the Con-
stitution and the Union, and it alone had the
power to thwart this restoration. 1t has de-
iberately chosen to do the latter, and yet
would commend itself to lunatics as the
Union party par ercett ence.
Since the conclusion of the war this party
has expended the neat little sum of fifteen
hundred millions of dollars-a fact which to
q lunatic alone could commend it as the party
of retrenchment and economy.
A computation OF the amount of fraud on
the Treasury exclusive of the expenditure of
the aforesaid fifteen hundred millions, has
been made by those who are most intimately
acquainted with the subject, and set down at
one thousand millions of dollars as the mini
mum of fraudulent robbery during the last
three years. These are the figures by which
the honesty OF the radical party is made appa-
rent to lunatics.
Radiral emissaries have been busy for the
last three years in stirring up strife between
two races, which experience shows have never
been able to dwell together in state of peace
and equality, even when the utmost caution
has been used to maintain amicable relations.
This is the claim which the radical party
makes to lunatics to be considered pre-emi-
nently the 'peace party.

assassination of President Lincoln, says !:
+" Nobody ever conceived that Arnold
was guilty of anything beyond the plot to
abduct; there are grave doubts whether
O'Laughlin, now dead, was implicated
further than that, and the commission
which tried them understood this fally,
or they would have been sentenced to the
gallows, instead of for life at the Tortu-
gas. Spangler, whose six years term is
now more than half expired, is undoubt-
edly an innocent man, knowing nothing
of either plot; but everybody who ever
examined the matter, except Presi-

NEW YoRk. November %. 1868.
The third annual session oftheNational
Christian Convention was held on Thurs
day, and was remarkable for the perfect
good feeling which prevailed throughout
the proceedings, and for the valuable
suggestions thrown out by the various
speakers. Henry Ward Beecher deliv-
cred one of his extemperaneous ad-
dresses, full of hints, which, if acted
upon by the many influential people
who heard him, cannot fail to produce
ere long the very best fruit in the church,
the schoolroom and the family. DIR.
McCosh, the new President OF Princeton
College, one of the finest-looking and
most truly lovable, as well as one OF the
most intelligent men in the world, fol
lowed Mr.. Beecher, and in a short ad-
dress seconded the proposals OF his
American co.worker, with simple earn
estness that won him hosts of friends.
He took his audience by surprise when
he announced that during the autumn of
1869 an Ecumenical Council ofall Chris
tiaus will be held in this city, with the
object of producing harmony and good
feeling among oil denominations. This
council is not to be confined to the
clergy, although some of the greatest
clerical names in Christendom are in
cluded in the list of guests. Among
others, Lord Shsftesbury has promised
to come, and numerous authors, journal
lists, and scientists from various parts OF
the civilized world, have been invited
and are confidently expected to be
present and take part in the discussions
which will be held on the great topics
now agitsting the religious world Apro-
pos to this subject, let me gratity you
with the information that the Unitarians
and Episcopalians of New York are
making strong efforts to furnish the in
habitants of Gotham with free preaching.
TIE move is made on novel grounds, the
appeal to the public is based on the pres
position that as there are plenty of fine
churches for the very rich, and plenty OF
preachers for the very poor-even the
denizeus of Water street, where the
"Wickedest Man" lives, have an ave-
rage Of two cbaplains apiece-snd as
the middle classes cannot afford to 60 to
fashionable churches, and are too proud
20 20 70 John Aliens den or to Kit
Barns rat-trap, It bouooves the right
minded TO provide church facilities for
audiences somewhat less refined than the
elite and more select than those who
have hitherto been the exclusive objects
Of charity. It is therefore proposed TO
build a number Of large public halls,
wherein good preachers may minister
rratuitousiy to those who desire to be
besiered BY religious instructions.
