perience has proved that swearing will not
make rebels loyal nor save a country. 1t was
supposed that by tradition the American peo'
pie, were opposed to test-oaths, but in the e1-

among the rebels. and admitted the worst,
who took the oath and remained just as they
we're before"

g THE message OF President Grant. in regard to
reconstruction in Virginia and Mississippi, was
expected by those familiar with his views.

py OF the Reconstruction acts of Congress. He
opposed to all other tests than they propose,
and desires all these questions to be promptly

will be OF the most formidable character, and
which the government, hit desires to maintain
its popularity and retain the affections Of the
people, it had better not interfere with any
