Those sho have ftmeyed North
10 escapc tho personal discomfort Of q
land Which their political counsols
contributed 10 involve Ia war
Those who have been among our
most vaIlapt.-noro com batants during
The war--and who rcsolately prefer
the pleasures Of Paris 10 Tho dishonor
Of labcripg for The restoration Of The
South.
The amnesty will bring back from
foreign lands q good many Of those
exilcs but they will find tho state Of
things much changed BY uhc war and
by emancipation. The idea Of seq
tionalism Il oycrthrown with an emap-
.cipat.on which the South has no idea
OF attempting 10 revoke. We are to
direct this population not by violence
but by kindness and Justice Weare
to control II not by a Legislation which
involves continued oppression TO our
selves, but by the importation gilmore
white numbers, the introduction of
labor-saying machinery, and the cul-
ture Of crops which require more Of
sun and soil than OF manual labor.
They will find that the $250,0O0, 900
produced in great part by negro la
Dor, passes into tho hands Of the
Southern landholder, merchant and
mechanic, and that the profits will be
capitalized and not paid out as here
'tofore for slave labor, and thus indi-
rectly transferred 10 and capitalized
at the North. The returning exiles
will find, 10 q few words, two prom
inent facts.
/. That the South must be do.sec-.
tionalized-must make It's future al
lance on the basis Of commercial or
productive interests.
2. That the interests Of the South
cannot be carried into effect by party
political combinations, but must be
wrought out and executed BY the In
te~llectual, industrial and physical
development d Southern resources.
We shall welcome such Of those ex~
lies as return under the amnesty with
more or less warmth as wc scan the
motives Of honor, fear or cupidity
which have influenced their abandon
ment Of country. With the return
of Mr.. Davis we are particularly
gratifed. We were never his partf-
san, but the noble patience with which
he endured bis captiyity--the brave
integrity with which he redeemed bis
recognisance and returned from lib
erty to the custody Of the law, fur
nish an evidence Of true principle
which Will adorn the American an
nails. He will find the South chang
ed, as we have said. A new era Is
upon US. His part Is played in his
tory, and he has but to sec that his
Dlographer docs him justice. But he
was never an agitator, and We expect
will come back to Mississippi to aid
In the programme Of restoration
which has been adopted.
