[FOR THE CAMflKtf JOIJUN.Vl..] In the present era of our political history, when the fill lire of our people hangs as it were, upon a thread of desiiuy: where all is wriip.t in profound and impenetrable mystery and tlic patriot strains his weary eye, out lately dimmed by sufferings and sorrows unspeakable,, y- peer into tlie dim vista ol'lhturijty, we become conscious of the liml, that the happiness off. , ost"riiy, lies in our keeping. Their weilbeingr depends 011 our sagacity in 1 ho pros- at crisis, and wc are painfully aware that wise counsels must prevail m unrer mm we bo liof accused liy future generations and our names bo not recalled with imprecations lor ignoble deeds, impudent acts and inditlVreiieo to most sacred duties. The recent changes in our social stains absorb the chief attention of the thinking, mind. The proper management of the labor questim hangs like the snow of Damocles in threatening a-'titude over the future' prosperity of the country. Here' is a 'field for deep thought, sagacious counsel, farsighted policy and prompt action. ' Nthny other qecstionsof no Icssini^ pert crave out immediate attention, 'and we arc'ncuv . ailed upon by our Governor to take the inititury steps for their disposal. * It is nn onion, replete with brighijliopes for the future lo nolo lit; t this community, at least, is full}' alifc to the sacred obligations, ?tlic pressing duties and stern responsibilities of this trying hour, as evinced by their nominations for the convention to bo held on the lkth | of September, i Among these we are pleased to find the name ol Major L.

Such men arc now wanted and wo congratulate the voters of this district on tho happy chance of this nominee. He needs no encomiums irom partiznn peu; his sterling worth is two well known to require adulatory exposition at the hands of his admirers, and wo anticipate for him ati earnest and cordial support.

The above paragraph contains the germ of a thought which ought to have great weight in determining il,e actual guilt, the moral inv.iivornent, of the men who were implicated in.the great rebellion. The war has caused gr.-rit knees and suffering to our people and it is 1 1 __ ? I II II I ?| hut'natural thai a feeling of resentment and anger, aDd a desire fur revenge should exist. Bur. after all, who can doubt that if the brave men v, bo <-nrriedathe war through to a successful issue against the rebels had been bom and ? eduoated in the South they might have fought as biavely for the rebellion as they fought against it? And on the other hand, is it not probable that' ibe Southern soldiers, bad they bi. tfn'born and bred North, would have changed places with their antagonist? If this is so, and few-will controvert the idea,ought these men to he subject to retributive punishment for acts which were the results of circumstances rather tiian of willful wickedness? Who can say that even Abraham Lincoln, had he cone to Missis* sippi instead of Illinois, might not have headed the rebellion?and that Jefferson Davis, removing to Massachusetts, might not have attained " ' even to the immortal glory that crowns Ben. 1 Butler?
