-' REMOVAL QF POLIIICAL DISABILI4
' . . HfiSL
! 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. This proscriptive policy i
opposed to tho letter and spirit c
the Federal Constitution?in th
ve teeth of the various proclamations c
amnesty issued by tho Bxecutivo D<
partment of tho Government, wher
to tho Constitution has wisely placed th
jy- power of relieving from all the pain
,ry and penalties' of treason and a
lis other disabilities whatsoever:

by tens of thousands who have jived
all their livo*, until very lately, in the
most debusing Blavory and benighted
ignorance,
"The Radicals of tho North, too
aro growing more sensible of thi:
inoongruity. It is hard- for them t(
keep up their old cry of 'manhood
suft'rjxge,' und make the applieatioi
stop short of the white race. If theii
principle is worth anything at all, it:
validity is absolute, ai.d its applica
tion in list bo universal. 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. Thus it i:
that tho very class of Northern poli
ticiuns who have been most implaca
bio toward the South are preparjn<
to yield something, from the shoe
necessity ot keeping a square nn<
clear position before the people."

j You feel yourselves to be 1>ouhd

your oppressors. And for tho tlrao ?
being this is true. Yet this ts no*J
half tho truth. You do not, I am
persuaded, fully appreciate yourposition.
You do not soo it asiclppiiy a?i
wo do here. You are unconsciou of. ;t
your own power. IutolMgonoe- and <
virtue exist at the South tofri a greater
extent than at tho North. ,Thp8QA
qualities will in the long run wiuu?ai?y lt...
trace. Bat 1 will not dwell on thin''
point mora. The material wealth t?f ''*
tho country is rapidly gr^vit^tifig
towards the South. The cot'top crop.,
is the great sourco of wealth. The.
products of the North are as' riothiwg"
for export in comparison, Let' thoriX 4
demand gold for tjieir. cotton, and,
keep their gold,and they will drain tho .
Nor ih of the precious metal. It it iui
your powor.to return to aspcoie basis,"--t
while the North is still floundering fti1
its paper puddle. By persistence ill
' this you will eventually prodnjco a
' financial collapse. This collapse will
, come sooner or later?you can,, haslet* A
i t?and then the day of your, redemp^
tion draweth nigh. ,
; But besides the profits of your agriculture,
you havo the advantage ,of
the North in manufactures. This ia y
. shown by the fact that while th^.; ,
p Southern cotton mills aro prosperous*
here are doing a losing business.. ; , j

be always in demand and to command
