on the men who helped Congress execute

gers" The rebels in 1861 are now styled
"Southern citizens" fellow citizens OF the
South" &c. whereas, those citizens who
settled in the section, after having done
their share to crush the rebellion, are now
called Carpet Baggers."
Suppose that Northern men had not
remained in the South at the close of the
war, do YOU suppose that the rebels would
have adopted laws imposing taxes for the
education Of the emancpated black =
Would the Southern Constitutions OF gov
eminent be as liberal as they are but for
the Carpet Baggers ?" Who but "Carpet
Bsgeers" would have been found to fol-
low Lineoln's emancipation proclamation
with free education
If the crusade Of the bulldozers against
Northern republicans should be the means
of stimulating similar opposition to new
corners in the Territories of the West, |
tell you we could never have another
State added to the Union from the great
empire. l tell You more. If the present
Southern crusade succeeds, as now seems
likely. this century will end before any
such things as liberation of political diff
ference will be known in the South -
Lincoln emancipated four millions Of men
from bondage, but now there is a crusade
against free speech, free schools, free
newspapers and free cOnsciences in the
South which promises to end IN making
slaves of forty millions: In 1868 Repu6-
licau statesmen were put to their wits ends
to discover a way by which we could be
rid of the great national curse Of slavery
but now fourteen years from then, 1t takes
al the ingenuity Of the President, Cabi-
net and editors to devise a means for the
revival OF that same curse, only under a
new name and in q new form. Formerly
only blacks were slaves in the South, but
there were two parties hereafter both
blacks and whites are doomed to be slaves,
and there will be but one party allowed
tbere-namely the Democratic party.

The French are getting ready for the
Paris exposition in 1878, which is designed
TO s1rpass anything OF the kind ever
known. The experience OF our centeu-

dustry to full representation. Nothing
in our history has done so much to ele-
vate the character of the republic. adj

Carpet Baggers and the South

Carpet BGg0erS and the South.
From a letter written by General Tho
mas W. Conway to the Albany Journal
and published in that paper we copy the
following;
It seems to be generally forgotten now
that we had a big war which left the
North in possession Of the idea that it
would be unsafe to hastily clothe the reb-
els, who made il. with the powers Of gov
eminent again soon after they were for
ced to surrender. 1t seems not to be gen
orally considered, in viewing the present
condition of the South, that Congress
advised the plan Of recOnstruetiOn-not
the earpet-baggers, and that the plan gran
ted the elective franchise to the freedmen
And it is not considered that tae presence
Of white republicans was deemed an alb
solute necessity Of the plan which was
adopted, because Constitutions had to be
framed, officers had to be chosen, laws
had to be made, Judges had to be elected,
and courts organized. All these required
white men, with capacity; and if these
men were not to be found the plan could
not work-in fact it would never have
been adopted. Read the Report Of Joint
Committee on Reconstruction and see how
eager that body was to ascertain whether
there were intelligent Union men enough
in the South 10 administer the govern
ments.
Now that many mistakes have been
found in the plan, the idea seems to be to
blame somebody, and so the blame falls
