Whether the persons heretofore acting with the Re- publican-Union party who have followed Weed, Doo- little & Co. into the embraces of Garret Davis, Dean Richmond & Co. will hereafter act : their old or their now political associates, is a question of consid- orablo interest to themselves, while it awakens some public curiosity. We judge that such por- tions of them as have merely yielded to the solicitations of _men of stronger wills, whom they have been accustomed to follow, will find their way back to the fold whence they would never bave voluntarily strayed; but the master- spirits, we hope and trust, are gone ‘‘for good."” Thoy may dally,and waver, aud equivocate; but they must ultimately ““go to their own place,” and find there the welcome of congenial spirits.

MR, COWAN'S PLATFORM. The platform yesterday reported by Mr. Cowan to the Johnson Convention at Philadelphia, contains, among many generalities and commonplaces, three important aflirmations: 1, The right to be represented in Cougress and in the Electoral Colleges is ** a right abiding in every State,” and indefeasible. 2. Nobody should be chosen to Congress who will not assent to and act in accordance with the foregoing proposition. 3. The right to prescribe qualifications for the Elective Franchise is reserved to the States, “*which right Congress cannot interfere with.” In plainer terms, the Johnson Convention sflirns that the Whites of the South who fought for years to doe stroy the Union have to.day all the rights thercin that they ever had; while the loyal Blacks of thosze States have no rights whatever but such as the late Rebels choose to concede to them, On the side of the Rebels, all is matter of rig the side of the Unionists, there is but grace and f and procious litte of these, If to-morrow the B stored” Rebels of Mississippi and Louisiana should woe fit to arrest, try, conviet and haog as traitors every Black who served in the Union armies, they have a perfect right to do so under the Cowan plat- form, and there is no power in the Union to prevent or resist them in so doing The Cowan platform asserts that there is no desire nor purpose in the South to reéstablish Slavery, That is false; but suppose it were true, what of it1 Is there any right to establish it? Men's de- sires uml purposes change from day to day; it is the right of the Southern Whites to enslave the Blacks that we wish precluded, If their desire and purpose are to eontrol, we shall have Slavery reéstab- lished in fact within the next ten years. : Trag, thic ylatform tells us that ** the enfratichised slaves should ‘vegeive cqual. protection with Whites in every right of person and property.” We knew that a_great while ago, But what signifies this, 80 long ns they do w't receive anything of the sort? For in,u'm in New-Orleans, gue-fifth of the School Tax is paid'by the colored peaple; but ot ous of them is allowed to send a child to the pablic s¢hools, nor receive any benofit whatever from the school fund, Their proporty is wrested from them by laws in making aod oxecatiog which thoy ar¢ allowod no voice. and emoloved to educato | bt you w 1at be must look to | | difficult to answer ¢ s+ in Wisconsin { bo an embarrassing and possibly an unmanageable FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1866. ym pay no dirgct 1 who planued and | 1ean to perpels that the DBlagks ought to have on in every right of person and property” with the Whites! 8o they bhad; uever concede it in practics until com pelled to. If this platform is soond, then Andrew Johnson (whom it immeasucably 1auds) is the most gigantio wsurper that the world has kuown; for he compelled tho Whites of the South to ratify the anti-Slavery amendment, aud repudiate their Rebe! debts, and do other things most diatasteful to them—all which, on the Cowan platform, he had no more right to do than to compel them to join the Roman Catholic Chureh. Ho dealt with them for montbs as though thoy had forfeited every right by treason, and couid ouly re- gain them throogh National grace; when, according to Cowan, they might bave challenged his right to (he Presidency, and insisted on a now election forth- with, wherein they should all yote. The ex-Rebels in the Conveution assented to many most distasteful propositions in order to procuro A concession of the Main Question—that of their as- sumed right to do as they sball sce fit within their respoctive Btates, Tt is the anciont Democratic right of every White to **farrup his own nigger” that thoy are intent on, with such modifications as the change of vircums!auces bave rendered inevitable. And this Cowan & Co. readily concede. Tho States are su- preme ovor all intornal matters; the Whits ex-Rebels are the States; the loyal Blacks are under thoir feot; and the Doolittle Con- vention sags they aball stay there, and bo dealt with as lately at Memphis, and moro recently ot New-Orleans, Such is ths sum and subatauce, tho gist and macrow, of the Cowan platform. The Union- ist who assents to it botrays those who helped us in our necessity,and the blood of the inuocent, wantonly shod and to be shed by malignant, vengetul Rebels, will rest heavily on Lis soul. THE WAR OF RACES. The Memphis Daily Commercial—a Robel shoet, of course, none others indulge in suck luxurics of wo— preaches on this theme a sermon full of loathsome malignity. It is but one of many, we presume; but it is a good specimen of its kind: spicy with newly- kindled wrath and poittad with recont facts of bloody import. The toxt for the disconrse is a passage from Jefforson, written in 1821, when ho was 77 years of age, and, according to the editorial prophet, in the plenary ripeness of his brigit and powerful intollect. The toxt runs as follows: * Nothing is more certainly ten in the book of fate than that these people (the nogroes) are to e free; nor is it less certain that the two races, equally freo, cannot live in the same gov- erament. Nature, habit, opinion, have drawn in- deliblo lines of distinetion between them.” Tho points ace theae: Jofferson was an anti-Slavery man. wd would prophecy tho wmost hopefully for the Blacks. He was a very wise and sagacious man likewise. His first prediction has como true. The sccond, thereforo, will, in all likelihood, coms trus also. There will be o war of races in the South But, in a war of races, tho Black race will be not only aubdued, but exterminated. Thus Abolitionism de- stroys itself, and thus protended philanthropy will arove the destruction ofits victims, One or two slips in logic here invite remack; for instance, that the second prediction must be fulfilied hecause the first 124 been; and that a war of races is the only issue, supposing the second prediction to bo justified by ex- perienca, in the order of time. Wo will offor a sug- geation or two touching the first dilemma: Jefforson pradictad the emancipation of the sfaves, Ly some means, in # prohable emergoney—an excend- ingly vaguo prediction. He also predicted the sep- aration of the race sther prediction even more vague, Events have brought about the formal eman- cipation of the slaves; must events, therefore, bring about a separation of the racos? That depends a Jittle on the grounds on which the different prophe- clow wore basod. Why did Jefferson predict emaacipation * and why did he prediet the separation of the races? It is not r question. Jefferson was an feved that Slavery was wrong, and that God wus j He was a statesman, and he saw that the form of government that must in prevail at the South was opposed to democratic tendencies, snd must give way before them. He was o close observer of society, e could not be blind to the faot that the slave p tion would eveltually Abolitionist. He.be element Southern communities, He fore- saw the ate extinction, th e, of Slavery a4 o mistal & nuisauce, & mischic 80 sure as the Almighty be trembled for his country while solecism and a it conld not endure; it did, Observation, reflection, conviction, faith, lent their combined vision to pierce the future when it should be no more. A moral vision thus keen was not to be baffled; the great conclusion came, though under circumstances which no merely mortal vision could bave indicated. And why did Jefferson, a ng thus hopefully for the negro’s emancipation, augur thus drearily for his emancipated destiny? Beca he was himself a Virginian, with the ideas of a French Liberal, but with the habits of a Southern gentleman, used from boghood to feel about the Blacks as the best of Sor ern gevtlemen may, but as Southern gentlemen ways will, he said truly that habit and opivion drew an indelible line between the Whites and the Blacks, ‘When be added **Nature™ he meant habit and opinion, which were Nature to him, no doubt, as they are to most of us, His limits were the lmits of desting. God proposed nothing more than he could conceive possible. e could not coneeive it possible that Whites and Blacks could live togother in equal free- dom under the same government. An immense array of evidence, historical, moral, presumptive, convinced him that Slavery must pass away, Where was the evidence to persusde him that the races must be de- tached or fall into hopeless strife? Not in history not in philosophy; not in conscience; it was simply “+in his bopes and blood.” The one, prediction, there- fore, might be as inevitably foolish and false as the other was wise and true, The verification of the first would, on general principles, suggest the futility of the second, But the second bas already been justiied by the same history that justified the first, Triumphautly exclaims the predicator of Memphis: Do yon not know what transpired here in Tennessce 7 Have you not heard of the recent occurrences in New-Orleans?

War of Races, forsooth! Noither raco is yot in condition to do justics to itseif. The negroos aro not, bocause they are not yet emancipated from ivil, politioal and sooial restrictions. The Whites are beoauso they are not yet emancipated from the not, bondage of habit and opinion. Thess babits and opin- jons way bo inourable in the present generation; they will disappear in the noxt. They may stand out againat Bureaus and bayonets; but they will yield to manufaotures and trade. Born in time, they will dio in time. Boru of tho old world, they will vanish inthenow. As the old aystem passes away, the old Adam will pass away.

Equally free, they will bo equally cordial, pros- porons and happy inthe United States.

Butler to attend ove of its meetings—not to have a tooth drawn, or a cavity filled, but merely to show himself to his patrioti admirers, They will think more meanly, over at The World office, of dentists now than ever; which is the more painful because the organ of a bread-and- hutter party should be especially “interested, about this time, in the conservation of masticators. But this in passing, We have no doubt of the ability of the new party to eat all the fodder which will come to its wallet.

Where- fore the bold and noble-minded gentleman protested, in the forlorn hope of saving his practice aud perhaps his lifs, The Doctor will soon be at home, and we shall read the Savannah papers with uncommen in- terest. After such a crouching caveat, it would be lacerating to hear of Dr. Clark dying in his own oper- ating chair, his weasand slit by one of his own lan- cets, sent to hix account without chloroform by his | own infuristed patients, Most persons who have been manipulated by a dentist bave, for a single mo- ment, desired to kill that artist, or at least to bite off one of his fingers; and in Dr. Clark’s case persopal revenge may accomplish its purpose under the mask | Union. | of public duty, The Doctor knows best how many people he has tortured to desperation. * We hear a great deal about the reconstructed Weare told morsiug and evening that the discomfited Rebels accept the situation,” Al the pipers of the new party, the What-is-it or the What's- ! its-name party, do no more than play variations upon this theme, Wolhave hiad a lover's quarrel=—it is over-— we love each other better than before.
