The speech of President Johnson has elicited an editorial from the New York Evening Post, under the caption of '*Tvfo Views," which we think, considering the Post's position, is en? titled to reproduction. Ii contrasts the tone of the President's remarks with those of Mr. Stevens as follows: Mr. Stevens does not trust the Southern men, and believes we are not safe unless we exercise all the rights and privileges of conquerors, by despoiling those we have conquer? ed. President Johnson, on the other hand, believes that kindness may be even more effective than violence, and that we are strong enough to accept the professions of the Southern men, and trust them to reconstruct their local governments under the Union. Mr. Stevens is for confiscation of Southern estates; the disfranchise? ment of Southern men; the total suppression of the .class which has no doubt been the leading class in the rebellion-the former slaveholders namely. The President, on the other hand, addressing a number of persons of that very class, told them that he would trust their professions of conversion; then- assurances that they had seen*the error of their ways; that he would help them and the Southern people ia general to re-es? tablish law, order, society, industry, all under the Constitution. The President's idea of reconstruc? tion, or re-organization, as he prefers, we believe, to call it, seems to us those of a statesman ready to work with the means placed in his hands, wise enough to see that his place is to oil the machinery of Government to prevent friction, and thus to get the ponderous and important engine to move with even more of its former smoothness. Mr. Stevens cares no? thing for friction; he behoves in what seamen call "main strength." After some other remarks bearing npon the same subject, the Post thus proceeds to define the country's posi? tion: We aro in the condition of a man and wife who have had a quarrel, to whom a divorce bas been refused, who cannot live apart. The President says: True, we quarrelled, but let us now act sensibly; let us join hands in friendship; we have destroyed that which bred discord between us; we have reason to hope for many peace? ful and prosperous years; let us for? give offences, and try if by mutual and joint efforts we cannot do better and liv? more happily than ever be? fore. Recurring to Mr. Stevens' argu? ment, the Post says: Now, if we were not going to live with this partner again, if our inter? ests w< re not identical, if her health and beauty and prosperity were not amongst our mo?t vital interests, Mr. Stevens might be right. Or again, if she were not helpless, and loadly ask? ing fo*T kind treatment, but on the contrary mulish, -perverse, obstinate, determined to make further trouble, then it might be prudent in us to use certain precautionary measures, espe? cially if we had a doubt of our own strength and of her weakness. Bul this is not the case ; the leading men of the Southern States, with a verj few exceptions, promise to be good citizens ; they accept frankly, and, as they assure the- authorities mosi solemnly, in good faith, the situation many of the most eminent of them have already committed themselves publicly to use all their influence and energy and authority toward thc es? tablishment and maintenance of free? dom and equal rights in their States. Others, liku General Lee and General Johnston, who have not made any such promises, yet have quietly en? tered upon useful industries, with the open declaration that while they do not like the issues of the war, yet they mean here after, while they stay in the country, to be law-abiding citizens. Now, in this state of affairs we think it the part of wisdom in us, the strong? er side, to eschew all mere measures of revenge. We are conquerors by arms, but we can afford to be con? querors also by kindness. Southern men profess publicly their readiness to do right-how can we spurn these professions ? Even if we do not alto? gether believe in them ; even if we believe that faults of temper and wrong theories of social life may so far embarrass them that they will not? ?t onee come up altogether to our hopes and expectations-can we not do more with them by trusting them, by throwing the responsibility upon them, by holding them to their pro? mises, than by embittering them ? Speaking as himself a Southern man, the President said : "The issue has been made and de? cided; then, as wise men-as men who see right and are determined to follow it, as fathers and brothers, and as . men who love their country in this hom* of trial and suffering-why can? not we come up and help to settle the questions of the hour and adjust them according to the principles of ] honor and of justice ? The institu- I tion of slavery is gone. The former status of the negro had to be changed, and we, as wisc men, must recognize so patent a fact and adapt ourselves to circumstances as they surround us. [Voices-we are willing to do so. Yes, sir, we are willing to do so.] I be? lieve you are. I believe 'when your faith is pledged, when your consent has been given, as I have already said, I believe it will be maintained in good faith, and every pledge or promise fully carried out. [Cries-It will.] All I ask or desire of the South or North, the East or the West, is to be sustained in carrying out the princi? ples of the Constitution." ? Are not these words of true wis? dom ? And wherever we find them cordially responded to in the South, is it not wise to give a trial to those who profess their readiness to be good citizens ? Some day or other they will have to be trusted. Is not now a better time than any other likely to come in the future ? Is it for the public benefit that we should, under Mr. Stevens' ideas, maintain a state of war in the South ? Will not re? turning prosperity, renewed inter? course, the voice of a free press, have their influence, all potent for good ? And if South Carolina does not be? come Massachusetts in six*months, need we be discouraged ? Our work down there is not that of months, but of years; it is not to be completed by armies, but by the spread of know? ledge, the dissemination of correct principles; by convincing the people that justice and liberty are profitable. THE POLISH REBELLION.-The more fully the particulars of the late Polish rebellion come to bight, the greater and graver appears the struggle of that unfortunate race. In making up accounts, tho Russian Government have now discovered the significant fact that the number of people who left Warsaw to join the insurrection? ary bands in 1862 and 1863 amounted, to no less than 8,128, out of a popu? lation of 216,000. Of these, eighty three were children, between ten and fourteen years old, 1,902 were be ween twenty and twenty-five, 1,463 between twenty-fiv* and thirty, 869 between thirty and thirty-five, 568 i between thirty-five and forty, 376 be? tween forty and forty-five, 207 be I tween forty-five and fifty, 110 betwoen ? fifty and fifty-five, sixty-two between i fifty-five and- sixty, forty-three be ' tween sixty and sixty-five, eighteen i between sixty-five and seventy, nine , between seventy and seventy-five, k four between seventy-five and eighty, ; j three between eighty and eighty-five.
