LETTER FROM REPUBLICAN MEMBER OF CON.
GREss FROM MICHIGAN.
The Grand Rapids Eagle publishes this extract
from private letter written by Representative
William b. Williams, of Michigan, on the amnesty
debate. The fun you speak of in your favor of
the goth ult. has commenced in good earnest, and
only wish that all true Union men at the North
could have seen the spirit and heard the words of
the sire eaters on the other side of the House.
How different from two years ago! Then they
were as meek and humble as repentant rebels
ought to be-the next session, when reinforced by
the fire in the rear from the North, strong ad-
di,on was promised for them at this session, they
became naughty, overbearing, and insoent in their
demeanor and now, at this session, with the strong
reinforcements from the North and South in their
ranks, they presented a cold front and demanded
as a right, in the most insolent manner, the res
tora,on of all the balance of unrepentant rebels to
seats IN Congress, to power and to control. We
met them with flag of truce, but they treated it
as of old was their wont. We asked in the mild
est terms for parley, for an attempt at adjust
ment, but they scorned our attempts and demand
I'd unconditional surrender, which not being
granted they attacked us with the old rebel yell
only to find themselves met by foemen worthy of
their steel, and 1anked on every side by legisla-
tive skill and their weapons taken from them. l
do not know how it may appear to others, but to
me my vote cast for amnesty to Jefferson Davis
seemed equivalent to voting for him as member
of the Senate or House Of the United States.

hatred toward him, but do not want him to make
laws for me. Neither am | inclined to admit that
of the North have been for fifteen years alto

the light 10 demand Il pardon. If amnesty is a
boon, it belongs to the North to grant it, not the
South to demand it."

This beautiful tribute to the inspiritng effect of
the rag baby as gonfalon comes from the Cnein-

termined effort Of the agents Of the money power
to commit the democracy to the financial doctrines
of the republican party has reused the sentinels

The exhiN iton of Southern sentiment on the
war question, as typifed by tie speech of Ben
Hill, and the counter arragnment of Mr.. Blaine,
seem to have influenced the vote of the Southern
democrats against the Centennial bill, if they had
really intended to vote for it at all If the vote OF
the Southern democrats is to be taken as an index
of Southern feeling respecting reconciliation,
which the leading Southern democrats insisted
would be the fact, it shows that very small per-
centage of Southern democrats in Congress are
disposed TO forget the past in centennial celebra-
tons. An analysis Of the vote shows that there
were 81 affirmative votes from the South, of which
II were republicans. The great majority of the
Southern democrats voted solidly against the bill
