FeLnow-Crrizexs: Very grave differences having arisen between your {inmediate Reprosentatives in Congress and the Prosident who dwes his position to your votes, we are 1mpelied to ask your attention thereto, and to saggest the Quties to your country which they render imperative, ‘We shall avoid the use of hard words, Of theso, there have already boon t00 many. Apd, that the matters in issye may bg brought withip the narrowest compass, let ue first oliminate from the controversy alt that has already been settlod or has never beeu in dispute. The Repudlic has been desperatoly assailed from within, and its very existence seriously imporiled. - Thirteon States were claimed as baving withdrawn fi the Union, were represented for yéars in a hvstile Congress mee st Richmond. Ten of these Statos were, for a time, wholly in the power of & hostily confederacy; he other three partially so. The undoubtedly loyal States were re- peatedly and formidably invaded by Rebel armies, which were only expelled sfter obstinate and bloody battles. Through four years of erduous, desperate civil strife, the bosts of the Rebel Confedoraoy withstood those of the Unios. Agents of that Confederacy traversed the eivil- ized world, seeking allien in their war against the Répablic, aad inciting the rapacious snd unprineipled to fit out armed corssirs to prey npod her commerce. By State suthority, and in the poerverted names of patriotism and (oyelty, buadreds of thousands of our ‘conntrymen were ‘consoripted jnto Rebel srmies and made to fight desperstely for our disruption and ruln. And though, by the blessing of God and the velor sud constancy of our loyal poopls, the Rebollion was finally sad utterly crushed, it did ot succumb until it had osnsed the destruoiiod of oty I than Half & Million of precions hman-tives, not towpeak of propty to the-value of at 12ast Fira Billbnsof Uo]:.h At lsngth, the Robet armtes surrendered ind the Rebol powor ultedly colispsed and vanisued. Whet then! The elaim of tho insurgents that, thoy eitier now rede- quired or had noger Torfeited (hei constitutbnal rights ju the Union, incinding that of roprosentatior in Congre#s, stauds in poivted antagonistn aliko £0the rjuirements of Congress and o thoso of thencking Presidoat. [t was tho Exocutive alono who, After the Rebellion was no 0, appointed Provisional Qoveraars for the daw, sub: ve, uaarmed _ Bouthern Statey, on B0 aaimptibn that the Rebellion bad been nvolntionary,” and had depriyed the peoplo ander itasway of all civil gov- ernment, and who roquired the assembling o s Conven tion, composed of delogates (o ba chossn by that portion of the people of said State who aro loyal tc the United Statos, and no ofhers, for the purposa of altering and amonding the Constitution.of ssid State.” (¢ was Prodi- dent Johuson, who, so late aa October last—when all shadow of overt rosistance to the Union Iad long sinte Aisappeared—insisted that It was pot enopg) that s Stato which had revolted must recognize bor Ordinance of Secession as mull and void from the beginming, and ratify the Coustitutional Amendment prohidbiting Slavery evormore, but she must alw repudiato “ gvory dollar of indebtednoss praated to Aid in canrying on the Rebellion.” It was ho who ordered the dispersion by military foreo of any logislaturo chibson wadar the Re- bellion whioh should assume powor to maks laws after’ that Rebellion had fallen. [t was he who referrod to Con- gress all inquirors as to the probability of Represonta- tives from the States lately in rovolt boing admitted to soata in either House, and suggested that thoy should pre- sent their oredentials, not at tho organization of Congross, but afterward. And finally, it was he, and not Congress, who suggested to his Gov. Sharkey of Misoissippi, that of el Tom conll, SR etion of 1o Duli Btates 1a English and write their names, and 10 all persons of solor who own real estate valued st not h;:':flrm .-:un‘.: Sharont, TTTAm othor Diatos wil elaw.” . If, then, there bo any controversy as to the right of the loyal States to oxact conditions and roquire guaranties of those which plungod madly into Socession and Rebellion, the supportors rospoctively of Andrew Johnson aad of Congross csunot be antagonist partiesto that contest, #ince their record places them on the samo sida. It boing thus agroed that conditions of restoration and guaranties against future rebollion may bo exacted of tho States lately in rorolt, the right of Congress to a voios in prescribing those conditions and in shaping thoso guaran- taos is plainly incontsstible. Whothar it take the shape of law or of a constitutional amendment, the action of Congress is vital. Even if they wers to be sottled by troaty, the ratification of the Scnate, by & two-thirds vote, would be indispensable. There is nothing in tho Federa! Constitution, nor in the nature of the case, that coun- tenancos an Executive monopoly of this power. ‘What, then, is the ground of cowmplaint against Con- gress? Is it charged that the action of the two Houses was tardy sad hositating ! Consider how momontous were the questions involved, the issuos depending. Cousider bow novel and oxtraordinary was the situstion. Consider how utterly silent and blank is the Foderal Constitation touch- ing the treatmout of insurgent States, whothor during thoir flagrant hostility to the Union or sfter thoir discomfiture. Consider with how many embarrassmonts and difficulties the problom is Wi:nvd you will ot wonder thyt months wore roquired to dovise, perfect, and pass, by & two- thirds vote in either House, a just and safe plan of recon- struction. . Yot that plan has been matured. It has passed the Sen- ate by 33 to 11, sud the House by 133 to 36, It is now fairly befors the country,having already beon ratified by the Logislatures of several States and rejected by none. Un- der it, the State of Tennessee has been formally restored 10 all the privileges sho forfoitsd by ‘Robellion, including representation in oither Houso of Congress. And the door thus passed through stauds invitingly opes to all who still linger without, Are the conditions thus prescribed intolerable, or even bumiliating? They are in substanee thess L. All persons bors or naturalized in this couptry are henoeforth citizens of the United States, and shall enjoy all tho rights of citizons evermore; and no Stats shall haye er to contravene this most righteous and necessary ~tetom I1. While the States claim and exereiss sne power of denying the eloctive franchise 4o = part of thelr people, the weight uf 0ach Stato in the Union shall be measnyed by and based upon its enfranchised population. If any Stase shall choose, for no crime, to deny political rights to asy race or casto, it must no longer connt that roe or caste as & baaia of political power in the Union. 111. He who has onee held office on the strougth of his solemn oath to support the Federal Coustitution, and has nevertheless forsworn himself and treasonably plotted to subvert that Constitution, shall henceforth hold no politi- cal office till Congress, by » two-thirds vote, shall remove or modify the disabulity. IV. The National Debt shall ba nowise repudiated nor invalidated: and no debt incurred in support of the Re- bellion shall ever be aséumed or paid by any State; nor shail payment be made for the lows af emancipation of any slave. V. Cangress shall have power to enforce theso guaran- tees by sppropriate legislation. Such, Fellow-Citizous, are the conditions of reconstruc- tion proposed by Congress and already accepted by the loyal Legislature of Tenneasee. Are thoy harsh of dograd- ing? Do you discern therein a disposition to tample on the prostrate or push an advantage to the uttermost I Do they embody sught of vengeance, or any confiscation but that of Slavery? ‘W solicit your candid, impartial judg- ment. ‘What is intonded by the third section is simjly to give Loyalty o fair start in the reconstructed States. Under the Johuson policy, the Rebels monopolize power and place even in communities where they are decidedly out- numbered. Their Generals are Governors and Mnbers elect of Congress; their Colonels and Majors fill the legis- Iatures, and officiate as Sheriffs. Not only are thestead. fastly loyal proscribed, but evgn stay-at-home Rebels havo little chance in competition with those who fought « vert tho Union. When this Rebel monopoly of oflies shall bave been broken up, and loyalty to the Union shall have become general and hearty, Congress may nmovo the disability, and will doubtless make haste to do w. ‘We do not perceive that the justico or fitness «f the fourth section—prescribing that the Union Pullic Dobt shall be promptly met, but that of the Rebel Corfedercy never—is seriously contested. ‘There remains, thep, but the second section, which pre- scribesin substauce that political power in the Urion shall henceforth ba based only on that portion of the seople of each State who_are deemed by its constitution fi deposi- tories of such power. In otber words: A Sta® which ohooses to hold part of ita population in ignormce and vassalage—powerloss, uneducated, unfranchised—ball not count that portionto balsuce the oducated, inelligent, enfranchised citigens of other States. ‘Wa do not purpose to argue the justioe of this povision. w tho shape of & cubo o correctess of m%‘l?&;‘.a‘n Tapje, Ho®ho (x!oéinol/nl bt this is simply and mildly just, wouid 1ot bj FeRTAdeciu7Igh one rose from the dead to convinee him.

An aristocracy rarely surrenders its privileges, m matter how oppressive, from abstract fevotion to jusice and right. It must bave cogent, palpable reasans for o doing.

Sinco the President and his fricuds bave been under- going & diminishing process toward tho small end of the horn, we have a notion that the Johnson party is only a domijohnson party. The Augusta Constitutionalist invites President John- son to visit that place, and promises him a corgial re ception #f he brings Jefforson Davia along. 1s n't one of them euough at ons time ! At the Johnson meeting on Monday night Mayor Hoffman announced his inteution to ** speak on every platform.” There were a number of gentlemen pressnt who have apokon on 5o many platforms that they can bardly distinguish one from anoth Wendell Phillips has received the nomination for Congress in the Third Massachusetts District, by & delegate Convention of working men, There is & probability that the Republican Convention will ratify this action, and even if they do not the workingmen will still vote for Mr. Phillips. The Massachusetts soldiers held a State Convention yoatordag, and passed resolutions in favor of the equal- isation of bounties, and denouncing Mr. Johnson as unfaithful to the Union. The State was well ropre- sented, over 1,500 delegates being present. Woe give » special report of the proceedings, with the eloquent speoch of Gen. Banks. Gen. Grant bas written & LeEier SLang that it is agsinst his convintions of duty to attend politiosl conventions, and regretting that any soldiers should take part in the politieal questions of the day. The General speaks for himself; and it is to be thus in. forred what kind of significance attaches to his acoom- panying the President on his tour to the West. Gen. Grant wishes it to be understood that he recognizes the President as his commander-in-chief. It would not be delicate to say more. Forrest, the hero of the Fort Pillow massacre Galloway, editor of the pestilent Rebel sheet, The Avalanche, and Col.

The Legislature of New-Jersey yesterday elected the Hon. ALkx. G. CATTELL of Camden a U. S. Sena- _tor for five years ensuing in place of the Hon. John Stockton, whom the Senate decided not to have been duly chosen. The vote for Mr. Cattell was 11 in the Senate and 33 in the House—a clear majority in each. The Democrats refused to vote, insisting that Mr. Btockton was rightfully chosen, though by g minority vote. (He received 40 votes out of 81 cast—a ma- jority laving voted that a plurality should elect.) The Senate decided that this would not answer, being contrary to law. Mr. Scovel, abont whom so much has been said, voted with the Republicans throughout, because he is a Republican, and d 't mean to be anything else. WHAT THEY ALL MEAN. “‘The Coustitution as it is, the Union as it weas, and the niggers as they were,” was a potent and popular Copperhead war-cry throughout the dark days of the Rebellion. Gov. Seward, having assumed tho role of “ Conservative” directly after Mr. Lincoln's first elec- tion, made haste to dispatch to Minister Dayton at Paris the utterly gratuitous and wholly unanthorized assugance that tho status of no single haman being, whether bond or free, would be changed by the result of the war. Ho wrote the French Minister in 1863 that the Rebels might resume at pleasare the scats in Congress they had wantonly abandoned—though | the law expressiy forbade it. Vallandigham & Co. tried repeatedly to pledge Congress to this proposi- tion, but unsuceessfully. The freeing and arming of slaves in defenso of the Unign was resisted quito as furiously as their cnl‘glubit:;un*fi;n being réfl- resanted by mefi.an s a death-blow to all hope of restoring the Union.

The Cleveland Convention ui@djpd its first day's proceedings by quietly kicking overall the elaborate arrangements made by Gens. §mdlgw, Quster, Este, MoCook, and cufnp’fiz)‘.% appending it a5 & bob to the draggled tall of Prosident Jobnson's kite.

His great ability, bis earmiest- noss, his power, cause him to be both bated aad fearod by the English reactionists; and the fadt that he has taken up advanced ground on the question of Roform will make him, it possible, more wupepplar than ever with the aristocratic class, and all thoss who beljeve that English institutions are the perfeo- tion of excollence, And this is the man whom' the Irish Liberals delight to honor; this is the individual to whom, in despair of obtaining justice for theis country at the hands of the- parties who have beroto- fore coutrolled the destinies of the British Empire, they turn their eyes—ia the hope, doubtless, that he will materially aid thom in obtaining that which they have s0 long asked for and sought in yain. Mr; Bright himself admits that the invitation t% the banquet is ‘‘a very remarksbls one.’ 8o it is, especially when taken in cosnectiom with recont ovents; and if anything could givé us bope that the claims of Ireland will at length meet at the hands of British statesmen with the conaidére- tion to which they are entitled, this movement would certainly encourage us to expect the advent of brighter days for the “‘greon isle.” Weshall anxiously await the report of the proceedings at the banquet, shortly to take place, and watoh with deep interest the new de- velopments which might be expected to succeed the demonstration. s It is & significant sign of the times that the Irish Liberals should now be looking to the man whe stands foremost in England as the champion of Re- publican America—the man, who, during the terribie struggle of our late civil war, stood forth boldly for the Union, when others, from whom we had reason to expeot better things, gave comfort aud encouragement to those.who were seeking the life of the Republic. This is something for tka Irish-Americans to ponder. Ireland’s hope lies in the triumph of the principles fog which the Radicals both of England and America are now contending. With the establishment of mao- hood suffrage in England, a new era will dawn upow that unhappy country. Impartial suffrage will go s far way towards healing her wounds. This should be sufficient inducement with every sinoere Irish patriot to take his stand manfully and firmly on the side of freedom, in the fullest acceptation of the term. EYE-SALVE FOR WARD BEECHER. The Johnsonites of Philadelphis had a grand pro- oession snd mass meeting on Monday evening, wherein the party was fully represented in the city where it was formally *fused” and organized. Tho banners borne by the various Ward Clubs in the.pro- cession bore inscriptions as follows: ““The Whit s Party. 43300 tr e agr § e only got $50, aud the Paymas- tor is ot of funds. a.v‘-.m. irth District aguinat Kelley, the negroes’ candi- ** Photograph membens of pbd White e, is & White Man's Goverament, made for White on b"" L * No squality for the negro.* A lotter read st tho meeting having deslared that “the uegro has mo right in the ballot-box or box,” s voice in the crowd added: “'Nej mor suy other box but 4t ice-bor.” 'We find this sentimbut reported in The Age, a Copperbead paper. —Isn't it a pity the pastor of Plymouth Cliarch could n’t have gons to Cleveland to pray for the sue- cess of this bumane, decent, libaral, pious party t Dark as its prospects sre who knows what the Doctor's prayers might bave done for it?

But it does not meet our question. It was Andrew Johnson, not Gov. Chase, who procured the drrest of Davis on a charge of assassination. Itis Andrew Johu- son who still keeps him in prison, with that charge unretracted and unmodified, Gov. Chase could not try him on that, for he bhas not been indicted for it, and you can't try & man for his life without.ficat in- dicting him. If Gov. Chase should try bim for treason, and he were acquitted, the charge of assassination would still bang over him, and he might be remanded to prison to answer for it at some indefinitely ftture day. It seems to us that he either should be indicted and tried for assassination, or that charge ‘should be formally withdrawn. Sixteen months is surely long engugh to keep a man in jail before indicting him. , Is there any fair intelligent eitizen who thinks other- We bave received a circular fram & Company in Boston, who propose to purchase a large tract of lanc) and ereot on it & building to serve as a Rural Hovzo for Soldiers disabled by the war.
