Of the Republican party with reference to thu
South One Of them was an amnesty bill
relieving from political disabilities all VIII,
had been engaged in the rebellion, with Ger
tain exceptions The measure would have
been more iudicious If it had proposed abso
lutte and universal amnesty, the obliicration
by the sovereign power Of the nation, Of all
past differences and the burial Of them out o
sight forever Political punishments ara
always obnoxious to a people and are til,
favoritc resort OF dcspotsm. II any persons
at the South have made themselves amcnabic
to the laws, they should be- tried and con.
demncd by the laws, or the leader, Of the
rebellion should have been dealt with by law.
To make rebellion mere political oilcuse aud
to punish it with Withdrawal Of political
rights and privilege, merely, Is both ungise
aud dangerous. 10 that case, punishment
for treason Is simply party vengeance and
loses all its meaning aud force Worse still,
it becomes source OF constant and countless
