WhatThcn?
Tlic New York Times reminds us of
"sundry qncrics addressed to the Tribune
a few days since," in the columns of the
Times, touching the conditions of Reconstruction,
which it deems worthy of our
regard. They had not escaped our attention
j hut we have no spare hours to devote
to satisfying tho curiosity of anonymous
and irresponsible querists. To ask
a question that requires time and thought
to frame a fit answer, yet hide your lace
and name from the person catechized, is a
prevalent impertinence which we are disinclined
to encourage.
The Times favors us with the following
editorial statement and query :
Congress, at its last session, refused to
pass a bill for the admission of representatives
from Southern States, even after
those States should adopt the Constitutional
Amendment. There were a variety
of causes which co operated to secure its
rejection. Some members were opposed
to imposing any terms as conditions prcce
dent to the admission of representatives
Others did not wish to go before the coun
try under any distinct pledge upon the
subject. Some were willing to admit a 1
State whenever its Legislature would rati- |
fy the amendment ; and others wished to |
insist that the amendment should first become
part and parcel of the Constitution.
And about thirty or forty members were
for excluding the Southern States until
they would adopt Negro Suffrage, a- well
as the Constitutional Amendment.
"What is the Tribune's view of this
subject ? Will it counsel the admission ol
representatives from the Southern States,
upon their ratificttion of the Constitutional
Amendment t Will it accept this as a
sufficient guarantee, and as a sutiicicnt
evidence of loyalty 011 the part of the.
Southern people ?*'
T11E TltlllLNfc's ANSWER.
The Southern Confederacy was based on
the cornerstone of a natural, necessary,
eternal subordination, socially, industrially,
ptliticully, ol "lJhicks to Whites." Its
triumph would, in our view, have resulted
in the "reconstruction" of the Union on
the basis ut universal and perpetual bondage
tor the entire A flic-American race.
Wc cannot realize that the permanent bi
section and division of our country, upon
any conceivable cast aud-west line of de
iiiarcation, was a moral possibility. As
Mr. Lincoln said in his Springfield speech, j
It will become all one thin:/ or alt the I
other." An J il the Confederacy had ivoti
its independence, State after Slate mirth
of its original boundary would, under the
guidance of the thenceforth usccn lant
Democratic party, have knocked huiuhiy, '
at its portals for admission, adopting the
Montgomery Constitution, and thus r cog
tiiziug the right of every slaveholder t?. |
work or sell his hondiiien, the same as his
horses in any part of the country. Sever
al of the mere northerly States might long
have stayed out, or been kept out ; hut, J
substantially, the Confederacy would have
taken not half the country merely, but the
whole of it; chaining it all inexorably to
the car > l lriumpli.it Slavery.
And as the Confederacy meant simply
Slavery, universal and perpetual, so we
understand the Inioti, from and after the ,
attack on Sumter, to have symbolized and
embodied Impartial and IHiversal Free
dotu. That there were many who did not
perceive this proves no more than does the j
fact that some do not even yet see it.
Their blindness does not, and cannot, af
feet the essential truth. And the one remaining
source of embarrassment, uncer
tuinty, agitation, distrust, antagonism and
peril, is the inability or stubborn unwil ,
lingncss of many Americans to realize that
Slavery is dead, and that all its incidctUs
and tappings should he buried in its grave.
Our platform oi restoration?(Hiversal
Amnesty, Impartial Suffrage?was long
ago proclaimed, and has not been modified.
We believe it simpler, broader, more humane,
more bencli ent, than any rival.
And we b< lievc Congress might have secured
its adoption last Winter by prescribing
and insisting that each State which
has been in rebellion should he restored !
only on condition that it should guarantee
irrevocably to all its steadfastly loyai inhabitants
every right, franchise and immtt
tiity, with which the State should see lit
to invest its citizens who had been implicated
in the liebcllion. And we holicvu
thin requirement would have been sustained
by the people.
Hut Congress wuh not prepared to take '
this ground. For a variety of reasons, ii
saw fit to adopt instead the Constitutional
Amendment now awaiting ratification by '
the States. And our recent State Convention,
in its Platform Committee, voted
down our distinct affirmation of Jefferson's
doctrine that "every one who fights or pays" j
should be invested with the Kight of Suffrage,
and declared instead [over our vote I
also] that nny State now unrepresented in
Congress which shall ratify the Amend- i
ment shall thereupon be admitted to repro- I
sen tat ion m accordance with the provisions
of that Amendment.
This, therefore, we understand lo be the
position of the KepuMican Union party of
our State?that every State lately in rebellion
which shall, with reasonable promptitude
and in hearty good faith, aeecpt and
ratify that Amendment, shall thereupon
be entitled to immediate representation in
Congress in accordance with its provisions.
And, as wo believe we can do more for the
cause of Impartial Freedom by acting with >
that party than by bolting from and butting
against it, wo hold ourselves bound to conform
in our action to its professions and
virtual pledges. If any of the outlying
States shall, during the lifetime of the
present Congress, ratify the Amendment
as aforesaid, we shall feel bound to advocate
the admission thereupon of their loyal
representatives to seats in Congress. As
to those which shall see lit to stand out 1
beyond the 4th of March next, we shall i
feel at lib -rty to act according to the cir- |
cumstanccs then existing, and to the riper (
and clearer convictions which we trust the
loyal States and People will meanwhile (
have attained.
And, whether the revolted States shall j
1 ...
ue soiuicr or later restored to ttuor natural ,
relations to the Union, wo hold that the j
signal triumph of Freedom over Slavery
in our late struggle r<<juiros lor its logical I
and perfect consummation that all our J
States shall yet recognize and embody in
their Constitutions the doctrine tersely '
expressed by Horace Mayuard ol Tonnes
see in these words :
"Let our laws and institutions speak not
of White men, not oi Kcd men, not ot
Black men, not of men of any race or 1
complexion; but, like the laws of Hod, the '
Ten Commandments, and the Lord's Prayer,
let them speak ot People."
Advance in Aukiccjlture.?In an 1
admirable article oil the above subject, the
editor of the American Farmer says that
if we would lay a lirtu basis on which t<> '
build up wisdom and knowledge in the !
minds ot our planters, large and small,
we must convince them that the course
pursued by our forefathers in husbandry, j
is by no means the best course And he
would convince them lir.t, that in general,
a small farm is better than a large one. 1
Second, convince tlu-m that a little, well
tilled, is better than much, half tilled. '
Convince them that two loads of manure arc
better than one, and every load, judi ,
ciously applied, is better than a greenback
dollar.
Convince them that three ?od cows are
better than six poor ones, and so oil ol all
other stock. Convince tlieiu that two
Ida les of grass may easily lie made to grow
where but one only grew before.
Convince them that experiment is tin
mother of improvement, and improvement
tin true source of wcalty; and lastly, eon '
vinee thorn of flie^e simolr* fviitli. I
diice tlicin to practice accordingly, :?fi ! 1

Important to Ladies.?When :i lady
would co'i pose lu-r ma>tit i to a Maud and
serene character, she should, just before
entering the room, say "bosom," and keep :
the expression into which the mouth subsides
until the desired ailed upon the] .
company is evident If, on the other hand,
she wishes to assume a distinguished and
somewhat noble hearing, not suggestive of
sweetness, she should <uy "brush," the re
suit of which is infallible. If she would
make her mouth look small and needs
enlarging, she must say "cabbage." If
she wishes to look mournful, she must say,
"kerchunk " If resigned, she must foreih
y ejaculate "scat " Ladies when having
their photographs taken may observe
these rules with some advantage.

Pete Whetstone, ol Arkansas, was once
traveling on horseback through the into
rior of the State, ami called one evening,
to stay all night, at a little log house near
the road, where entertainment and post
iflicc were kept. Two other strangers
svere there, and the mail rider rode up
just about dark. Supper being over, the
nail carrier and the three gentlemen were
invited into a small room furnished with a
Hood fire and two beds, which were to ?c ommodate
the four persons for the night.
The mail carrier was a little shabby, dirty
ooking wretch, with whom none of the
rcntlctnen liked the idea of sleeping. Pete
Whetstone eyed him closely as he asked :
,4\Vhcre do you sleep to night, my lad V
'I'll tbleep with you, 1 reckon, lisped
he youth, 44or one o' them other fellers, I
ion't care which."
The other two gentlemen took the hint,
ltid occupied one of the beds together immediately,
leaving the other bed aud the
;oulab to be enjoyed by Pete and the mail
boy together as best they could. Pete and
the hi y cotimu need hauling off their duds,
ind Pete getting in be I lirst, and wishing
to get rid ol sleeping with the hoy, remarked
very earnestly?
"My friend, I'll tell you beforehand Pvc
?ot the itch, and you'd hotter not get in
liorc with me, for the disease is catching."
The hoy who was just getting in bed,
loo, drawled out very coolly?
"Wol, 1 reckon that don't make a hit o'
lifforence. I've had it now these seven
rears." and into tlm Ii.-iI !>? ? nitnlio.l

The other gentlemen roared, and the

'Why, you must bo a lhot <>' darned
bo!s; mam and dad's got theeateh a heap
ivuith than I is, ami they llilon in that bed
ast iiiglit when they wore here at the
juiltin."
The other two strangers wore now in a
ivorse predicament than Pole had boon,
ttid, boom ing from their nest like the old
inu<o had been on lire, stripped, shook
heir clothe*, put them on again, ordered
heir horses, and, though it was nearly ten
?'e!oek, they all throe left and rode several
iiiles to the next town before they slept,
caving the imperturbable mail carrier to
