W The education of the people is ne- V cessary to the perpetuity of constitu- ti tional government ; hence it needs no ef special grant whatever of power to 01 odueate, to authorize measures by ei the general government for the educa. ti tion of the people. Besides, it is b time for Americans to begin to look d upon the constitution of their country, U, in the light of the progress of civili- se zation and the necessities of fact z, as t< capablo of expansion development i and progress to suit emergencies, and i not simply as nsterootyped and rigid a< procrustean form. The wisdom of our fathers may have been very pro. found, for "they built far better than u they knew," but all of their notions u of justice and of law were not correct, 01 and to permit them, by a writtn I b docunit, to clog the wheels of na- b tional progzess, especially in a matter so important as the enancipation of the people from the bonds of ignor- t< ance, would be to sacrifice the end of good government to the means. ti The Southern States are not going ., to educate the poor whites and the blacks during this generation, if left a to themselves. They must Lo made to do it, and must be assistcd in doing it, for they need assistance. The only p, saourity for permanent good order r< aid progress in our society, is to pro- tc mite universal education. The Southern whites are unwilling to pay g taxes for the purpose, but they will lose much more in prosperity, if they t do not. Tho national governmenth alone can save them fronm their own shortsighted economy in this matter.m It has tremendous power, and ought i to exerciso it. Ilow foolish is the jealousy of the blacks that prevails I l'hey can never rise to a level with ad ~he whites. Tfhey can never jostle i ~he whites out of their way, and a 'pread out, where the white man now Kt aands. They can simply build up- fe ward to heaven, as we all should try st to build, and be willing to help them ;, build, for there is ample room above al us for all. No one is injured by his ha neighbor becoming a more intelligent, ed and( hence a more industrious, skill- di ful and thrifty man. The time will Tj soon como, too, when the blacks will f be shorn of their shortlived political fr power. imagine, then, their sullen disoontent and their obsequious de- If gradation and meanness, why, a ne-b gro will be but a very dog, if they are ef mot educated. Picture to yourselves their filching and stealing, their pov irty and wretchedness, their brutali ies and their crimes. The condition y >f the ancient criminal with a dead n >ody chained around his waist, will be t nuch to be envied in comparison withfo ho demoralizing and terrible condi- ~ ion of Southern Society, having such t class of population, and they free, r n our midst. For aeon the effects of r lie fall of cotton and the necessity of eP' nero skillful Agriculture, will roach bu, hem, as it this yearhas reaohed, for tic lhe first time, our white people in ath ra[ to he understood, and they .nust th< in , and sink speedily, if they cannot earn to stretch forth their hands ti nd grasp the helping hand of Science. r V'hite men by scores have sunk hi,e 870, and many' more will go down in '.g 871 ; but white mon profit, by oxpo. e once, and where theo elements fronm ithout begin to fail them, they 'ave fresh fortunes and a hIgher vilization from the elemtents that re within., Otharacter. Urncaangeable. Me Macauley says of the house of wh tuart that "they were proud and oa assionate, and amidst all of their hai Isfortune., they neve le-r- -n te son from experience." Hence it is that the people of England found necessary to deprive Charles the rst of his life, and James the See d of his crown. From this re irkable passage of history, the inor ist may draw more than one valua. o reflection First, he will ob rve, what he has tut to open his 's to notice in his own family, vil ge, city or State, that character is e most unchangeable of all things, d that no accumulation of merely ternal cIrounst atnegi, in the shape misfortunes, cver did, or ever will form a fault. The penal visita. )ns of divine Providerco can only rest attention, they cannot create aracter, and were neer Intended to >so. Man was int ended to act from irer pTiriciplets than the mere con Jeration of the consequences of his tions. Low-minded and shallow ople may fancy that to point out ic ruin involv(d in a fault will Luse its refor mation, but the contin. it and inevitable disappointment ey nicot with, so long as they pro. ,ed on that inadequate principle, is hat deeper observers could foretell 3forehand. A higher tense of duty, i over present and Conscioue eense responsibility to our Maker, grati ide for His goodness, and humility, Pat our light Ahines so dimly before on, that they do not see our good orks and glorify our Father in Ilea. mn, these high christian inotives, iese powerful elementsfron within, n reform at.d change. But the lost fame or fortune, the evils of pov -ty and the sufferings of loted rola ves, failure in business and in ,alth-though well known to be the irect consequences of our own faults, )ver yet, and never will, of then lves, msko us better citizens or bet. 'r men. They are externals ; it is e character within that makes the tn, and which will show ittolf in hit itions. The Old Fight, The conflict of parties and ideas pon the isaue whether this is a na oeal governmtent or n ennfederation independenti States was reneued at week in the Senate in a spicy de ate between Senators Morton and lair, in which Moton forced the 'enocrats, if Bmnir represents them, plant theiselves again on the latform of 1868, that the reconstruc. on measures, sno aid all, are reyitto e - rv lti-J,11 y V an >id." So, then, we are to have it I over again and Grant's re-eltetioni ill be the most probable result. We do not think it likely that thic sople of the United States will tver verao the verdict which they went war with the Confederate States to tabli..h, viz :that ours is a natiunal >vernment. TJhe whole tendency of ir age, with its steam and electrici. and needle guns and art illery, is to ing vabt bodies of men together as ganized units. Besides there is ore demnocracy thtan republicanism this country, and Democracy al.. ys was cent ralising in its nature. areover, universal suffrage being mittedl, with negroes in a majority this State, and they united by in not and nature and by the Ku lux, if them e is any hope of our in nal State g'overnmient being re.. ained, reformecd, or improved, It is thn ont,.de i.flonnc of the iFeder g'ovem nment, supervising its vii inies, and compelling at least an ucational test of suffrage as an ad tional meiasuro of reconstruction, e whole sub'ject of Rlailroads, that itful source of local corruption, d the whole subject of education long to the national government. there was doubt upon this subject fore the civil war, the consolidation oeeted by the war ought to have re aved them. Mien talk of independ. t Sovereign State rights being the fe-guard of good government, and t say they are willing to admit of gro suffrage in this State. But we ink that prsition the extreme of ly.
