ariH you do ,cith iR The Secretary of
War asked colorcd men their uishes, as
Ihaue myself done, and they replied that
they ,1oald haze better chance If they
could be apart By themselves.


The General continued somewhat at
length, pointing out the various pro.
positions which had been made for an
adjustment of the vexed question, and
maintaining the ground that the Un-
ion State Convention acted wisely in
not taking sides, but waiting for events,
and at the close he was greeted with
prolonged applause.


An old gentleman of the colored
persuasion, who seemed to be convinc-
ed that the General had got the ad-
vantage on the general issue of negro
suffrage south, rose to inquire wheth-
er, setting that question aside, the
General would, if elected, favor an
amendment to the Constitution OF Ohio,
permitting negroes to vote in this
State. The General replied that he
had stated his own plan, and his own
mode of solving the difficulty. He
believed the question must be decided
for the black man as unit, and that
the duty of the cOlOred man here uaS 10
connect his destiny ,rith those at the
South; that if the question had to be
determined by each State for itself, and
the South for itself, his determination
,eould be here for the full application OF
the rights of man, which he had describ-
ed.


Loud applause greeted this reply
and the meeting adjourned.

Great confusion IS likely to cnsue from
the mistaken or wiltul confounding OF
State Rights with the proper method OF
asserting CT maintaining them. No great
er mistake, or more pernicious conclusion
can be arrived at than the idea that the
event cf the war has changed Or lessened
in ANY degree single right that pertain
ed to the States; and yet such powerful
advocates OF the extreme State Rights
doctrine as the Freemen'S journal was,
now pretend TO believe that the s:lppres-
sion Of the rebellion includes the overs
throw Of the doctrine, and that State
Rights 10 longer exist except permissive-
ly by the Federal Government The
theory is in It's tendency alike destructive
Of the Republic and TIE liberties Of the
people.


The right Of Il State to peaccably with
draw from the Union upon the plea Of an
ticipated wrongs has been decided by the
war not to exist. The people have through
their armies declared that they will per
nit no such thing, and the attempt TO DO
SO will probably be stigmatizcd formally
by our Courts rs treason on the part OF the
individuals trying to carry it into execu-
ton. This and this alone has been de-
cided by the war, AMI it is the voice Of
the Nation which declares it. But in no
particular has the status Of the States, or
the rights reserved to the States by the
Constitution been altared or impaired, and
every right they have ever been entitled
to, they still demand and exercise -
lnfrln9ementS or aggressions on their
rights can, as ever. be resisted In all prop
er and legal ways, and We are encouraged
to think that the tendency now is to get
back as rapi .ly as possible TO the old CON
seryatiye policy Of cur Government. We
have bat to gct rid Of the stantons and
Hoits, who have lived and thrived through
war and its attendant irregularities, when

z VALUE OF AMUSEMENTs.-The
world must be amused. It is entire
ly false reasoning to suppose that
any human being can devote himself
exclusively to labor of any descrip-
ton. 1t will not do. Rest, alone,


will not give him adequate relief.


He must be amused. He must enjoy
himself. He must sing, laugh, dance,
eat, drink, and be merry. He must
chat with his friends, exercise his
mind in exciting, gentle emotions,
and bis body in agreeable demonstra-
tions of activity. The constitution
Of the human system demands this:
1t exacts variety of influences and
motion. It will not remain in health
if it can not obtain that variety.
Too much merriment affects it as in


iuriously as too much sadness; ), too


much relaxation is as pernicious as
none at all. But, to the industrious
toiler, the sunshine of the heart is
just as indispensable as the material
sunshine is to the flower, but soon
pine away and die if deprived of it.

President to entirely withdraw the troops

exception of slavery.

Ia another place will be found a
speech Of President JOHNSON to which the
Southern delegation, representing nine of
the late rebel States. will be read with
profound attention. lie treats the rebel
lion as a family feud, without throwing
any special blame upon the South. The
South is beaten and should submit grace
fully. He praises Southern character,
vindicates his own magnanimity, and
holds out the olive branch to the South.


In the language Of the Milwaukee Ne,cS
we believe the confidence of the Delnoc-
racy in the ultimate purposes of President
JOHNSON is likely to be justified to the
fullest extent. In bis speech to the
southern delegation on Monday the Presi-
dent took another important step forward.
His language and his opirions are radi~
cally adverse to the language and opinions
oe the party which elected him. He de.
clares witbcu: evasion or qualification that
he will stand where he did Of old, "for
the Constitution and the Union of these
United States" and he expressly de-
nouncss the attempt of the radicals to
concentrate he power of the nation in
the federal government. lie also dis
claims any intention to deal Larshly with
the repentant population Of the South,
and happily alludes to the fact that he is
himself one of that class OF Southern men
whom the radicals are spaslng no efforts
to denounce and destroy. The President
clearly means to restore the fraternity of
the people and permanently re-establish
the Union by the weapons of justice, for
bearance and conciiation-the means
which would have prevented war in the
first instance, and which would have dis.
integrated the confederacy and stopped
the war year and half ago.

"The many friends Of Miss Ahnie Sur

two, although she is far from being the
happy, joyous girl that she once was.
Hundreds of slmpathizing friends have
called to see her during the last ten days,
but to most of them she begged TO be ex-
cused. She feels deeply the kindness
which they manifest. but she is not yet
equal to the duties of society. Iudeed, a
deep and settled melancholy seems to have
taken entire possession Of her nature.
She never smiles, and the expression of
her face Is that Of agony struggling with
resignation. Her only relief is in the con
ISOLATION Of religion; and If it were not for
sha,, she would probably die. Her great
est grief Is, that she is no. allowed to lay
the remains of l.er mother in consecrated
ground, nor to say prayer over her last
restlng-place. She lives only in hope of
being 'ble TO do this, and it only needs
one word from tho Secretary Of War to
enable her to do it. Why is his pormis
