From the hour of his (Lincoln's) first
inauguration up to the time Of his death,
the thieves were all in Office. 1t was i'm
possible almost 10 lay hands on an official
and not touch a man made rich by his
position. This was especially the case
with the moneyed offices. 'Houest men
stood aghast at the impunity with which
stealing went on. All cries of shame at
the outrage seemed unavailing. All op-
position was thrown away. Thieves we're
turned out to be succeeded by thieves,
and colossal fortunes were made in an
hour. The smiable old President cracked
jokes over the rascality, and said that in

Letter from Henry Ward Bsecher.
f1 PEEKsKrLL, Thursday. August 30,

GENTLEMEN: am obliged to you fol
the invitation which you have made ia
me to act as Chaplain Of the Convention
Of Sailors and Soldiers about to convene
at Cleveland. / cannot attend it, but /
heartily wish it, and all other conven-
tons, of what party soever, success,
whose object is the restoration of all the
States lately in rebellion to their Fed
eral relations.
Our theory of government has no place
for State except in the Union. 1t ia
justly taken for granted that the duties
and responsibilities of State in Federal
relations tend to its political health, and
to that of the whole nation. Even Ter
ritories are hastily brought in, often be-
fore the prescribed conditions are full
filed, as if it were dangerous to leave the
community outside of the great body pol
itic. hN sgiIB4 4EaE5 ~. GWv7Ga
Had the loyal Senators and Repre-
sentatives been admitted ut once, on the
assembling of Congress. and, in moderate
succession, Arkansas. Georgia, Alabama,
North Carolina and Virginia, the public
mind of the South would have been far
more healthy than it is, and those States
which fingered on probation to the last
would have been under more salutary in
huence 10 good conduct than ifra doz en-
armies watched over them. 4 &N
Refusing to admit loyal Senators and
Representatives from the South to Con-
gress will not help the freedmen. 1t will
not secure for them the vote. II will not
protect them. It will not secure any
amendment of our Constitution, however
just and wise. II will only increase the
dangers and complicate the difficulties.
Whether we regard the whole nation, or
any section of it, or class Of it, the first
demand of our time is entire reunion
