Colfax, thc Speaker, and "McPher?
son, thc Clerk of the last National 1
House of Representatives, are both \
candidates for re-election. Both of !
these perseus have felt the pulse of j
tho men whoso votes they need, and ;
have ascertained that it is not only
safe but indispensable to be radical.
They have ascertained that the Re?
publican pledge to sustain the recon?
struction policy of the President,
which enabled that party to make a
clean sweep of the Northern States,
were "inert; lovers' vows," made tobe
broken, and they have determined to
utterly disregard them. Both of ?
these men "will hereafter occupy posi- |
tions which will enable them to do an i
infinite amount of mischief, aud to |
utterly defeat for ii time the great
object of a four years' war, to force
the Southern States buck into the
Union, and they have evidently re- 1
solved to do all that they can in the j
way of mischief.
McPherson has declared that he ?
will not place upon the list of mem?
bers the names of the members of
Congress elect from thc Southern
States, und Collu:; says that he is
righi. McPherson says the next
Speaker must appoint a committee to ;
report upon the eligibility of the gen?
tlemen who claim to represent the
States lately in rebellion, and if the
aforesaid Colfax is elected Speaker of
the next House of Representatives,
he will appoint the committee whose
report will go very far to decide the j
fate of the Southern members elect.
Colfax having prejudged the whole '?
question, and announced his decision
in advance of all Congressional dis?
cussion, the character of thc com?
mittee which he will appoint cannot
bo doubted. Thus, at the moment
wh?n speedy peace and reconstruction
seemed about to crown the nation :
with a thousand blessings, the dark
shadow of continued sectional strife
again casts a gloom like the sun "in
dim eclipse" over the land. The pa?
triotic reconstruction policy of thc
President is endangered at the mo?
ment when good men believed that it
was about to receive the support of
all parties. Really, it would seem
that, so far as the South and her peo?
ple are concerned, no concessions, no
sacrifices, no compromises, no pledges
of fealty to the Union, the laws and
the Constitution will satisfy the radi?
cal element at the North. The Jaco?
bin wolf has determined to invent
some pretext or excuse for devouring
the lamb, and assigns the unnatural,
monstrous and detestable reasons for
his policy of sectional strife and dis?
integration.
Whatever honorable men could do
consistent with honor and self-re?
spect, we have done, or have ex?
pressed a willingness to do, and yet
we are still told that we have given
insufficient proofs of our fitness for
re-admission into the great family of
States.
We sincerely trust that the iuflu
ence of President Johnson may be
cast in our favor, .iud that he may be
able to defeat the machinations of
the radi cris in Congress; but if he can?
not or does not do so, the South, we
fear, is destined to endure a long
period of degrading probation, of
"taxation without representation,"
and of the subordination of civil rub'
to martial law. The exclusion of our
representatives from their seats iu
Congress, we fear, is the fixed purpose
of a large majority of that party.
Now, eui bono, for whose good i.->
this exclusion to operate? At the
very outset, it will introduce a most
important and exciting debate in
Congress, and may revive all the
slumbering tires of sectional feeling,
which nil parties should seek to bury
as deep as possible, it will sting the
South with the sense of injury and
injustice, and will deliver her over.
for an indefinite period, to all the
evils of anarchy. Sucha rejection of
Southern representativos would vio?
late tho fundamental principle <>f re?
publican institutions, for wo should
have taxation without representation,
and would Ito hold ainenable to laws
in tho framing ol' which we had no
voice. More thain this, a conflict and
disagreement would bo inaugurated
between tho Legislative and Execu?
tive branches of the Government, for
the President's great poiiey of wis?
dom and conciliation bas no feature
of ostracism for loyal Southern men.
Thus would thc peace and harmony
of the Government be disturbed, and
that quarrel would bc renewed in the
council-halls which it was fondly
hoped had been settled on thc battle?
field.
The Southern people, frankly ac?
cepting the arbitrament of war, have
been earnest and sincere in their de?
sires to be brought in friendly politi?
cal relations wita thc North. It will
bc a most unkind and ungenerous
reward of their trust and confidence,
if, wheu they ask to be heard in the
National Assembly, it shall be denied
to them. Surely, the great work of
the Administration should not be
thwarted and retarded by the vin?
dictive spirit and opposition of any
mero political combination. Away
with sectional agitation; we have had
enough! of it; it has cursed the
country long enough, and if persist?
ed in it will curse it still more. We
had thought that tho causes which
' divided us had been swept away, by
the war, and that a millennium of
peace and repose was at hand. Are
we doomed to disappointment, and
; are thc feelings which the war in
flamed, and which soon might have
been extinguished hy magnanimity
and conciliation, still to be cherished
in all their fierce intensity? Shall
! it be proclaimed to the world that the.
American people waged a war for the
preservation of the Union, and when
they had successfully concluded it,
! they refused to admit to a participa?
tion in the Government the people,
to compel whose return to the Union,
I the war was undertaken?
As long as they live together, the
prosperity of the North and South
are indissolubly connected, and if
the North, by tho exercise of its
political power, inflicts any injury
upon the South, it must expect to
bear itself, some portion of UK- suf?
fering. Il'unkindness and abuso of
power shall characterize thc domi?
nant party at the North, then will a
paralysis fall upon the dawning
prosperity of the South and the
development of her resources, which
will bo keenly felt in Wall street, and
prove highly predjudieial to the
[ national ei'edit. Magnanimity and
justice to tho South will go far to
bring down the price of gold, and
to appreciate Governmant securities,
and it is well for the radicals to know
it. - Ri <.!11 n omi Tim es.
LETTEK FROM MAJOR-GENERAL Gon
DON, OF GEORGIA.-Major-Geueral J.
B. Gordon, in declining to run for
Governor of t?-oorgia, says :
Several gentlemen have been named
whose character and hdents fit thom
for the position. Let ns select from
those one whose long civil services,
mature experience and unblemished
rectitude pre-eminently qualify him,
to conduct the State through the
shoals and quicksands that environ
her ; and, while we thus consult tho
highest interests of our State, let us,
by a fail nf ul observance of the obli?
gations we have assumed, and by all
the moral power we may exert, sustain
the President in his Herculean en?
deavor to defeat the Radicals of the
North in their efforts to destroy us.
Let us demonstrate to these ene?
mies to truth, to principle and sound
policy, that the men of the South,
who have been ready to vindicate
with their lives the honor of their
section, and the cause they believed
just and holy, are most reliable in
their observances <,f plighted faith,
and truest to tho principles of the
Constitution. Difficulties of t he great?
est magnitude oppose our political
and material advancement ; but let
us give ourselves to the task of over?
coming them with brave hearts and
wise, unremitting toil.
