The Constitution of the United
States was the result of number OF
compromises between neil of OK
treme views and opinions. But for
these The Government would not
have been established. 1t would
have been destroyed in 1890 on the
Missouri, in 1888 on the South Caro-
lima, and il 1880 en- the California
questions. il in each instance there
lad rot been compromises. Upon
each side, then, there was a mutual
give and take. 1t was felt that this
was great country, with many con-
fiicting interests, with complicated
system OF government, and that no
set of men had a right to assume
that they alone should make no
concessions to others-that others
should concedc every thing 10 them.
I his is not according 10 the rule of
nature. Every body has to give US
SOME of his natural rights in the es-
tablishmHnt of civil society. But
vi hin The last decade new school
Of politicians has arisen in this coun-
Try. They consider themselves
above ordinary mortality, always in
fallibly right, and never, in the adj
iustment Of the most delicate qTes-
items, consider it necessary 10 have
any compromise. Their idea is, ac-
ccpt our extreme notions, or we will
make you by force. 1t is in this I'M
fortunate and egotistical philosophy
that all our troubles since 1860 have
arisen. Not one of them is there
that could not have been averted if
OFF statesmen had had the liberal and
iar-seeing views that once character
lied the men at the head of our al
fairs.

MOTION, Senator from Indianr,
and confidential adviser of the Pres
ident, has made aspecch against mi
versal amnesty, which his party will
doubtless accept as the key note OF
the coming Presidential campaign.
II is the same old story of hate. He
said that "the consequences OF rebel
lion were faI greater than the con-
quenccs Of all the other crimes com
united in the United States up to this
time" lie predicted that if general
amnesty were granted, "the next step
would be to pension rebel soldiers,
10 pay rebels for their property taken
by Union soldiers during the war:
including slaves. and next to pay
the Confederate debt. What might

in his opinion, be cruelty to future
generations, and lie believed univer-
BAL amnesty 10 DC inhuman and I'M
moral, because it would be an admis-
sion Of innoccIce of a rebellion
whose consequences will linger in
the country forever
Mr.. MOTION deserves the opinion
expressed of him by Dos PIoTT, a
Republican, who said he never read
anything, and knew but little. But
however ignorant he may be, he
mus: have been AWAKE Of tic fac;

truth of the whole matteris, that the

North has not yet implicit confidence

people and Northern Democrats
