JNothingfcra -ctone more to prevent the accomplishment of tho oncl which is proposed in the present watchword t! of tbu Republican party, " Let us have peace," than the proscriptivo policy, which they themselves have inaugu' artd. A magnanimous, conciliatory course would have boon as oil upon n iho troubled waters, quieting the i- stormy agitation, appeasing hatred. - allaying irritation, and restoring again with tiio restoration of peace, even unity and fraternity. Tho ItoJ publican party saw fit to pursue a j very .different oourae, and will any lone say, will thev themselves contend, j.I ... . Itnnt it was prompted by a regard for I'j the good of the country?of the whole c! country? Tho lorsons of history? i! i the bitter lessons of past experience? cluiight havo taught them other coun -jsels; but they were wilfully blind to jconsiderations of this nature, and I Igavo "to party what was meant for mankind." But wo think that it 3' would not bo difficult to show, that ^ even accepting their own narrow, selfish, objects as tho premium mvbUc ol action, their coi:rso has boon as suicidal to their own party success, as *- prejudicial to the best interests of the )f-country. Can any ono doubt its w tlighting influence upon the prosltjperity of the wholo country? It j would not be difficult to prove this. |Indced_jQn tlio-ooBtwtt'A^ it- would be r" very difficult to allege any considera^"ition, which could oxcusd, much les^ ieijuslify the-proscriptivc policy, which ior four years past has bocn that ol the dominant party, and has contq trolled the action of tho Government, In the first place it was unnecessary ^ ?unnecessary then and unnecessary now. Even if the South had been dis posed to organizo resistance to Fed oral authority, she was powerless tc a do bo. Vanquished in war, she wai 10 oven loss potent in pence. Broken dispirited, down-trodden, she hat 'I neither tho will nor tho powor U 10 organize her forces for another " re bellion," but sought ouly rest to hea her wounds, retrievo her past, an< build up again her ruined fortunes She had laid aside the sword forovor and desired pcaco. rv In tho sccond place, tho proscrip . -tivo policy was anti-Amoriean?-op posed to the wholo spirit of our insti m tutions, and the fundamental princi a pics of our Government. The oontl ncntal monarchies of Europe mitfh i a annex conquered provinces, and ex elude them from any participation ii g. the Government,, but this is not th tit genius of republicanism. Our inst ill tutions rest upon tho oonsentof th iu 1fovr?rrie^? m<l are designed to protec them in tho enjoyment of cortaii ' inalienable" rights. . Thirdly.

It has comt to this?as every thinking man fore knew from tho outset?that the Iladi cals cannot nourish their vescntmon against tho Southern white man, ex eept at tho expense of tho 'impartia equal right' platform, tho abvtrae justice of which was all that evei gave them any standing place in th< polities of the country.
