North and South--the Contrast.

Some persons wonder why it is that the jour
nails Of the South do not speak with the free
dom of some of the journals in the North
They lose sight of the fact, that the people of
the two sections Of the country are not under
the same kind Of Government This is shown
by Judge Black, in his able argument in the
case Of McArdle, who was an editor of paper
in Vicksburg, and whom General Ord caused,
without any warrant, to be imprisoned, and,
after having kept him for some time in custody,
sent him before Board of officers, selected by
himself from among his subordinates. In con-
trastng the different state Of things ip the North
ern and Southern States, Judge Black said:
'In the Northern States, the meanest man In
the country cannot be made to suffer the mildest
punishment for the most trifing offence, unless
he has first had fair, open trial, according to
the mode of the common law; down there
(South) i'm all that country, from the Potomac
to the Gulf-the best man or the purest woman
in it may be .fned imprisoned, or hing, s2:taout
Judge or jmy Our systela is the American sys-
tenn, with all the modern Improvements; theirs
is the old Asatic system, without one particle
of Improvement from the days of Nimrod."

REGISTER. the people Of this city needed
any additional incentive to SECURE to themselves
the right Of voting by now registering. it has
been furnished by the conspirators at the Capt.
tol in the provision they have adopted for the
disfranehisement Of every officer in the Confed-
crate army above the rank of Lieutenant, and
in the navy above the rank of Master. This
proposed additional disfranchisement, of from
ten to fifteen thousand of our best men, is with
the manifest purpose of turning over the State
to the government Of tie negroes, and the man
now who fails to register, consents to that blast
ing and degrading result. Fortunately, the
plotters of this vilainy cannot make it apply to
the vote On the rejection of the Constitution.
All who now register, not disfranchised by act
Of Congress, can vote Qn taat question. Is
ghe1e man in the city, the son Of a white wo-
man, who has the strength to crawl to the place,
that will lose his vote by failing to register?-
