The Mobile Ke j ister says that advice
?feas "been volunteered to the South hy
persona nieaniug to he friendly, from tho
North, tc send as representativ-s to Con?
gress such men as could rubseribo to tho
oath of efiioe adopted by a radical majori?
ty when tlie war feeling was at fever heat.
While this counsel was meant to be friend?
ly, asid had for its object thc speedy ad?
mission of thc representatives of the South
to senti iv. Congress, we ca ..-.not think it
wise. The whole question is i:? a nut-shell.
Either the South is to bc represented in
the legislative counsels of the Union, or it
is net. If it is not, then ?le- forms of clec
fcion might 3S well be dispensed with.
President Johnson will declare thc late
"rebeUioUH States" restored to thc Union
sa sonn ns they shall have yiado those
organic changes which he has pronounced
as necessary to that end. These States
<:ar. then quietly go on with their local
.governments, and their seats being vacant
?K Congress, that body will have to get
.along iii" best way they cun with thc solu?
tion of t.h*> eld English and American
principle "taxation without representa?
tion." Ir. oilier words, these States will
have nothing to do but quietly wait until
reason und good feeling resume their sway
in the X?J ional Legislature, lint if, on thc
other .ITI od, these Slates are tobe repr??
sent?e!, let thein be represented. Can any
sane man aey er believe, that a Southerner
who conic! conscientiously take the " iron?
clad" oath of office, was a representative
of the South V To be sure, we might send
men there whose hearts have not beaten
.with ;: single throb ol sympathy with their
constituents for the past nearly live years,
and e?ll them representatives, but would
?tliey be representatives ? It would be a
farce, rv.?t only discreditable to us, but
fruitless of gc ul to the South er the North.
lt would be a sham of representatives,
afifce undignified and unprincipled, ami
one wc hope never to see put in practice.
Thc hue course is to send men to Wash?
ington who do actually represent tho in
ienerts and the sentiments of the Southern
poo.nh . .-. nd then leave it to time and the
good sense and good feeling of the North
i<i determine whether or not it was in
??arr-; -;! when it took np anns and waged
?lire war to preserve the Union; or whe
rht-r. i o\ that it has been saved, and is
tiered to ?ts acceptance, it purposes to
*<:ul:i:\ i - :;cts and belie its words by re?

purpose. All contracts should lie in dup
