No. 4 in answer to the Srar’s arguments showing the importance of the South's prompt accept. ance of the Constitutional amendment—that is. | to herself—some of the Southern papers are urging that she can afford to bide ber time in her present anomaleus political condition. This means that she bas more to hope for from something that may possibly “tarn up"—what, no one pretends as yet to know, or even toim- agine. We believe nothing of the sort. Delay in tts acceptance is to postpone her political rehabilitation indefinitely, with a probability that the terms under which she will eventual- ly be restored to equality in the Union will be Darderon the present generation of her citi- zens. This is the opinion accepted by the | world. outside of her limits, except the North- ern politiciass who sympathised with her at- tempted reheliton, to whom anything but che re-establishment of her secession influences in the ascendant in the General Govern- ment is death to ‘heir own fature, Now. so long as she remains shut out from co- equality mthe Unron with this prospect that baraer term than those proposed in the amendment will eventually be exacted from | her, every existing disability resulting from the war will press daily more and more heavi, ty upon her. Her peeple who had ample means before the war, nOw poor indeed. wiil | grow poorer. Their existing debts and such as they may continue to make. will take from them their property. piece by piece, and at iess than a tenth of its real value under ordinary circumsiances. Keceiving no immigration to speak of. of pecuniary, skilied, or muscular value, and incapable herself under the circum. stances in which she is placed of developing ber resourges. imcreased want and increased physical suffering can bardly tail to overtake her already too unhappy people. Their pres. ent estates will be cut up and aliened by their own courts, without thereby securing to ineir | present owners any practical relief. On the | otter hand. if speedily restored to her position in the Union. unbounded wealth of capital and skilled aud muscular labor will pour im wpon ber with wonderfal rapidity, and every sale of aught she nas to dispose of. of present or prospective value, will realize more | or less applicable towards re-establishing the owners tbhereo! in independent circumstances. Thousancs, tens of thousands, 1f not hundreds of thousands of her people who now hold what will be but nominal wealth with ber exclusion from coequality in the Union protracted, will speedily ind itamply «available for their en. ricbment beyond their conceivable dreams, through her prompt rehabilitation in the gov- ernment. ‘The real value of whatthey have to sell is at this moment better Known to North. ern capitalists and speculators, than to its in- | dividual owners. The former would gladly iuvest im the South were they sure her career of substantial progress would soon begin. Not to invite them to invest without delay, is nex; to madness on the partof the South. Itis to refuse to have the wealth of the world poured into her lap when she most needs it. It is to refus® to permit her laboring population'to be educated at good schools and in work- shops of. every description which will increase her industrial power beyond descrip- uon It is to refuse to have her agricul- ture improved by the settlement in her limits of thonsands on thousands who practice the improved agriculture of the North, where soil, climate and other natural resources con- sidered, ore cultivated acrein farms pays the owner and the laborer quite two doliars for every One Bow accruing to the sonthern farm- | ing land-hoider and bis laborer. To refuse to accept such changes in her conditien, because | te do so will temporarily weakem ber boped- for representation in Congress, is madness be- | yond expression. The chances that she will | eventually carry her point in this matter of pxtent of representation are not five in the hun- <ifed.

To refuse to | Accept representation {f Uv2gress on terms of | practical co-equality with the North—for, after all, that is what the constitutional amend. | ment aims to bring about—is to insure | that im but a single quarter of & cen- tury her .prope-ty will) haye changed owners almost as completely as though ; ‘done by am act of general confiscation. becoming the property of men who will bave obtained it little by little, by labor in her | midst, Without the use of capital imported from abroad. Thatis, without the change of own- ership resulting in any benefit whatever to i her present property holders. While these ' changes are in progress the parties for whose fancied benefit she refuses to be improved and | enriched—ber secession leaders—will be rapidly | descending the ladder of imporiance as well as | of life. Without means to live witbont labor, | they will become of fess “account” at home | than the men surrounding them who, com- j mencing life without resources, except of mind, eharacter, and labor, are demonstraung | their greater utility aod value to society, and } gradually acquiring it property. Thus, in twenty-five years, the policy gf refusing the proposed Constitutions! amen’ mt, will to- tally obiiterate the late ruling class of the South as 4 class exercising any power whatever over her cvurse or destiny. The nope of this class, as of all other classes of the people of the South, rests wholly upon the speedy settlement of all the questions at issue between herself gnd Congress- With these questions settled, they will have equalchances in the race of life with all the South's other citizens, except, for the time be- ing, in (he matter of the rmght to emter the ser- vice of the General Government, and to parti- cipate in its administration. Then, if man. festing im business anything like the force, acumen and capability they manifested in poli- ties before the war, their Chance of retaining the leadership of Southern affairs will be all chat their dependent press can desire. Revolu- ons have never yet gone backward. All must now realize that the abortive Southern rebel- hon bas resulted in 8 sweeping revolution in the ideas prevailing im the North, as well as im the material affairsof the South. This must speedily change the prevailing and past ideasot the latter. We strive but to save all classes at he South from being virtually overwhelmed y the progress of this inevitable revolution of ideas, and to secure for them. all the substan. tial advantages within their power to work out of their lessons and sacrifices of the war.
