'fis last 'eVo message is -a "do cument of great1.power'. Terse in language, and breathing - a spirit of-devotion to thie.principles of a "violated Constitution," 'it is at once a manly protest and an ex haustive argument. .Upon no pon is the position of theEresident 'mroiimfpregnidile in law and fact than where he ex poses the utter fallacy of the as sertion than these ten Common wealth of the South are neither States in themselves or have legal Governments. As States they have been recog nized by the .Sapreme :Couirt who, in this capaeity,;have acknow ledged them~ botl'in the arrange mnt of their circuits and in their -audience at its judicial bar. As! States they have been recognized by th.e:I'legislative department of the Governmernt, who have sub mitted to them as States twice, since the cessation of hostilities amendments to the Constitution for their ratification or rejection. To their.participation as States, the ameidinent abolishing slavery owes its validity, and that relating to 8uffrage its.rejection. - - If they had 'no right as States thus to act, then slavery still ex ists, and never has been legally terminated. As States, they have repeatedly been recognized by the Executive. In fact, it is now, of -right, too late to dispute this po sition. Until of very recent ori gin, every department of'the Gov rnment haF admntted the state ship f these commonwealths. It was res-erved ?or Mr. Stevens, to1 erase the past, and to announce a new doctrine, - which; however spurned at first, has:at last, .in en tire antagonism to every prirtciple heretofore acknowledged, ..been adopted as the ruie for the -public councils-. Mr. Stevens says, -The true-po sition- of the ".ate Confederate States is that of a congl'ered'ferrito ry- of the 'United States.' -* * I deny that the cOnstitUtion is either ntheoretically or actually in opera tion in any of these States." This he is 'frank enough, to avow-is the real:peint in ssue. 'T,his-is no: new, question.. There have been.civil wars before. - And there will likely be civil- wrs again.'

The true mode and plain duty of peace and general welfare was full ac knowledgement of the stateship of these Southern Common walths, and their admission to representation and to identifica tion with and participation in its affairs. It was to make them a par of the Union and'-to extend $.them the protection and bene tts ofits Constitution and laws. - But it has thus far been decreed otherwise, and agaihst the earnest and sincer-protest of South. We -ca'n but hope with the Pres ident"'that in the end the rod oi despofilm will be broken, the armed -'ule of power .be lifted from 'the necks of.the pe'ople, and the principles of a violated Consti tution preserved." The Louisville Courier says : "Without a single exception, the Jacobin demagogues who are en gaged in making bullying and in sulting speeches through the pros trated and helpless South took care to keep away from there while the war war, going on.

W. Kendall writes from Texas to the New Orleans Pica yune, and-gives us the following sensibe views : The lessons,- which adversity teaches are hard, ye they must be learned. And these .lessn are always useful- I know' that it comes hard for a young man to walk behind a plow who once rode behind a fast trotter; nor is it agreeable to a young lady to make and put on her dresses all by her sef, who formerly had a couple of servants to take these irksome jobs off her hands. Yet I can see no other re~medy, at least for those who have simply been ruined by the war, and the list is a long one. That a large majority have ac cepted the situation cheerfully, I am glad to say is true-I snean the situation to earn their.wn living; all must do itm And there are many who think, and 1 am one of them, that in the long run it will be all the. better for the rising generation of the South a generation which is to follow one notoriously brought up in ignorance of work and indoIence a'-t an- uneini noenution.
