Thad, on the Itaiiipn.gr.
In tlie course of his speech on tho i
final adoption of the reconstruction 1
plan. Stevena used the following re- ;
uiarkable language:
In my youth, m my manhood, in
my old age, I had proudly dreamed I
that when any fortunato chance
should have broken up for awhile the j
foundations of our institutions, and
relieved us from obligations thc most
ty rannical that ever mun imposed in
the name of freedom, that the intel?
ligent, true and just men of tho Re?
public-true to their professions and !
th fir consciences-would have so re-!
modeled all our institutions as to have '
freed them from every vestige of hu- i
utan oppression, of inequality of
rights, of the recognized d?gradation
?d' the poor and the superior caste of
the rich. In short, that no distinc?
tion would be tolerated in this purl
tied Republic but what arose from
merit and conduct. This bright
dream has vanished "like tke base?
less fabric of u vision.*' I ftud that
wc shall be obliged to be content
with patching up tho worst portion of
the aucient edifice and leaving it in
many of its parts to be swept through
by the tempests, the frosts und the
storms of despotism.
Do you inquire why, holding these
views and possessing some will of my
own, I accept so imperfect a proposi?
tion? I answer, because I live among
men and not among angels - among
men as intelligent, as determined and
as independent as myself, who, not
agreeing with me, do not choose to
yield their opinions to mine. Mutual
concession, therefore, is our only re?
sort, or mutual hostilities.
We might well have been justified
m making renewed and more strenu?
ous efforts for a better plan, could wo
have had the co-operatiou ut" the
Executive. With his cordial assist?
ance, the rebel States might have
been made model republics, and this
nation an empire ?d' universal free?
dom. But ha preferred restoration
to "reconstruction." He chooses that
tho slave States should remain as
nearly us possible in their ancient
condition, with such small modifica?
tions as he and his seven ministers
(mould suggest, without any imperti?
nent interference from Congress. He
anticipated the legitimate action of
t he National Legislature, and by rank
usurpation erected governments in
conquered provinces, imposed upon
their institutions in the most arbi?
trary and unconstitutional manner,
and now maintains them as legiti?
mate governments, and instantly de
. mauds that they shall be represented
ia Congress on equal terms with
loyal and regular States.
.-?To repress this tyranny, and at the
same time to do some justice to con?
creted rebels, requires caution. The
great danger is that the seceders may
soon overwhelm the loyal men in
Congress. The hasto urged upon us
by some loyal but impetuous men;
their anxiety to embrace the repre?
sentatives of rebels; their ambition
to display their dexterity in the use ol
the broad mantle of charity; and
osp?||?^lly ?he danger arising from thc
oily^irations of false prophets, fa?
mous for sixty day obligations and
for protested political promises, ad?
monish us to make no further delay.
-*-*-.?>.
Our Methodist friends will bt
pleased to learn that there is a pros
peet of a speedy supply of books,
Tho Nashville Advocate says: "Speak
iug of church publications, the las1
number of the Nashville Christin)
Advocate says: 'Since our last issue
the membors of tho Book Committee
resident in Nashville, have held J
meeting, at which arrangements wert
made for the speedy supply of book
for our people. Ail over the clrarcl
tho scarcity is great, and tho d?niant
must in consequence be heavy. Or
ders are coming in much more rapidly
than ^re had hoped for, and everj
i indication is that a busy season await
? us.'"

John Mitchel's Opinion.
Wc eK.tn.ot tue following paragraphs
from John Mitchel's last Paris letter
fco the New York News: .
Jefferson Davis, yeoman, (it seems)
on a certain day ot 1864, not having
the fear of God before his eye?, bnt
moved and seduced by the instigation ;
of the devil, did arm and equip per- j
son aud persons to resist by force the
Inws of the United "States! People in
this country find it hard to believe
that the dominant faction in' th?
United States is really about to com?
mit tho filthy action of so far prosti?
tuting the courts of justice, of so
brutally abusing tho accidental ad?
vantage of mere forco, a? to press for?
ward the trial of the chief of the
Confederacy as a mere disturber of
the peace, and to treat the Confede?
racy itself as nothing but a riot. I
can understand very well the position
of the Government in this mentor.
There was nothing to prevent them
from bringing this rioter to trial a
year ago; but it was expedient, for the
gratification of an amiable publio,
that he should suffer the horrors of a
dungeon at any rate for many months,
with newspaper correspondents peep?
ing through his grated door, in order
to soothe the Said blessed public with
a picture of his sufferings every moru
irig. Tie has not died, as was expected ;
and there is a sort, of prejudice gene?
rally existing nmongst civilized com?
munities against keeping an untried
mau all his lifo in a jail; so that the
question came to be a pressing one,
is lie to be tried or released? To re?
lease him would never do; bwause,
if ho should choose to cuno over to
Europe, all that is best and noblest
in these countries would receive him
witli distinguished honor, as the
chosen chief of a gallant people
i making a noble struggle for its inde?
pendence. This, T say, would never
1 do; it was necessary, law or no law,
j per faa el nefas, to brand the chief of
the Confederacy as au ignominious
felon, and so to associate the idea of
I secession, for the future, in men's
' minds with fetters and handcuffs, and
I turnkeys and convict rations. Be
; sides, in trying and convicting Mr.
? Davis, the Government intends tc
indicate to all other Confederates thal
they are degraded crimiuals, only suf
: fer ed to go at large on .sufferance
?This is the way, it is believes!, tc
make secession impossible for th?
future.
i Well, it is not anew idea; the Ame
1 ricans cannot claim the credit of in
venting the brilliant plan; it has beei
I tried in Poland, in Ireland, in Vene
tia and elsewhere, and it has not beei
i found to answer very well as a secu?
rity against armed resistance, ?til
! leks as a method of reconciling th
bleeding, disaffected communitie
' with tho dominant ones. On th
contrary, it tends rather to irritate
j to keep old wounds open and to mak
fresh ones. If Mr. Davis is really t
'. be found guilty as a felon, it will b
j an inexpiable insult to every South
. ern mun, woman nod child, and wi
j bo felt to bc so intended. Taken i
j connection with that fine new plan c
I "reconstruction" which is to disfraz
I chise all "who voluntarily took pai
I in thc rebellion," (that ia to say, a
i the best men and worthiest membei
of society in the whole South, witl
1 out exception,) it will be fell by vcr
i many as a complete justification fi
j the desperate effort they made t
! sever their union witlw the Nortl
