New YonK, July 2O.--To the Snmmn.
rv of doctrine cnunciatcd by the conycn

liberty is the supreme, unchangabIc law

mission Of that party to give iulI ciie't

compished only when citizens, without
regard to color, shall wear this panopIy
of citizenship as fully and rs securely in
the canebrakes of Louisiana as ON the
banks of the st. Lawrence. Upon the
question of our southern relation, my
views were recently expressed as mem
Der Of the L. 5. house of representatives,,
Those views rcman unchanged, and were
thus expressed We of the north de.
lude ourselves in expecting that the

formed into our modern northern com

long course Of patient waiting to which
no one can set certain bonds, There
will be good deal Of unavailable trlc'
ton, which will call for forbcarance,
which will have to be relieved by tenn
peratc fostering care of the government.
One of the most potent, if not indispcn-
sable agencies in this direction will be
the devising of some new system to aid
in the education of the masses. The fact

people to remain in the union, and now
duty and interest demands that we leave
no just means untried to make them
good loyal citizens. How to diminish
the friction, how to stimulate the eleva-
tion Of this portion OF our country, are
problems addressing themselves to our
best and wisest craftsmanship. The
foundation for these efforts must be
made in satisfying the southern people
that they are to have equal, exact justice
accorded to them. Give them to the
fullest extent every blessing that the gov
