The Plan nf Reconstruction.
* * * We are continually hearing
debates concerning the origin and authority of
the plan of restoration.' New converts, North
and South, call it the President’s plan. All
apeak of it as if it were a new and recent devel
opment. Ou the contrary, wc now see that it is
not specially Andrew Johnson’s plan, nor even a
new plan in any rejpoot. It is the plan which
abruptly yet distinctly offered itself to the last
Administration, at the moment I bavo before re
called, when the work of restoration was to begin,-
at the moment, when, although by the world un-
perceived, it did begin, and it is the only plan
which thus seasonably presented itself; and there
fore is t e only possible plan which then or over
afterward could be adopted. [Great applause.]
This plan, although occasionally requiring varia
tion of details, 1 "nevertheless admits of no sub
stantial cbaDgo or modification. It oould neither
he epla'ged or contracted. State conventions in
loyal .States, however favorable, in disloyal States
however hostile, could not lawfully or effectually
disallow it; and even the people themselves, when
amending the Constitution of the United States,
are only giving to that plan its jnst and needful
sovereign sanotion. In the meantime the execu
tive and legislative authorities of Congress eau
do no more than to discharge their proper func
tions of protecting the recent y insurgent States
from anarchy daring the intervening period
while this plan is being carried into exeoutioD.—
■Applause] It is essential to this plan that the
insurrec ionary States shall, by themselves and
tor themselves, accept and adopt this plaD, and
thereby submit themselves to and recognize the
national authority. This is what I meant when
I said to Mr. Adams, in a passage whioh you
may possibly recall, that in the sense in which
the word subjugation was then used by the ene
mies of the Uni'ed States, at home and abroad,
it was not the expectation or purpose of this
Government that the Southern States should be
subjugated; but that I thought that those States
would be brought by the judioously mingled ex
ercise of pressure and persuasion, to a condition in
which they would voluntarily return to their alle
giance. This was the explanation which Mr.
Adams gave to Lord Palmerston, the Prime Min
ister of England, when that great, and, as I trffst,
not unfriendly statesman, said that he did not
believe that the Federal Union oould be restored,
because he knew that while any man Can lead a
burse to the water, no man could make him drink.
The plan, therefore, recognizes not the degtrDce
(ion, nor even the subversion of States, but their
activeetcistenoe; and it reasons from facts as they
are, not from assumed or possible changes to be
effected by continual war, muob leas does it rea-
bod from mere chimeras. [Applause.] This ab
solute existence of the States, which constitute
the republic, is the most palpable of all the facts
with whioh the American statesman has to deal.
Ii many have stumbled over it into treason and
' rebellion, the fact, for all legitimate deductions
snd purposes, nevertheless remains
Nature oj the American Union.
In a practical sense, at least, the‘States were
before the American Union was. Even while
they were colonies of the British crown, they
still were embryo States—several, free, self-ex
isting and indestructible. Our federal republic
exists, and henceforth and forever must exist,
through, not the creation but the combination
"i these several, free, se)f-existing, stubborn
States. These {States are not stakes driven
into the ground by an imperial hand, nor are
they posts hauled together, squared-and hewed,
and bo erected loosely upon it; but they are
living, growing, majestic trees, whose roots
are widely spread and interlaced within the
soil, and whose shade covers the earth. [Ap
plause-] If at any time any of these trees shall
he blown down or upturned by 'violence, it
must be lifted up again in its proper plaice,
and sustained by kindly hands until it has re
newed its natural stability and erfectness.
[Applause.] if at any time the American
Lnion is fractured through a-lesion of one of
>ta limbs, that limb must be restored to sonnd-
ness before due constitutional health and vigor
ran be brought back to the whole system. If
une of these limbs offend, we have indeed the
power—and I will not cavil about the right—
to tut it off and «ast it away from ns ; hut
when we should have done that, we wotild
hate then done just what other nations ljess
w,,e than ourselves have done, that have stb-
»iited unnecessarily to. amputation, and given
K P a material portion of their strength, to
•are themselves from apprehended destrnc-
tion. We know the inherent strength, vitality
and vigor of the whole American people. We
Either passionately torment any offending
limb, nor consent to its being cut off, because
' v e know that all' oqf limbs are capable of
tiemg restored, and Ail are necessary to
^prolongation 0 f our ,national Ijfe. [Ap-
Is any other reconciliation, under' the circum
stances, possible? Certainly you must accept
this proposed reconciliation, or you must pur
pose to delay and wait until you can procure
a better one. Good surgery requires tbat.eren
simple fractures, much more compound ones,
shall be healed, if possible, at the first inten
sion. Would not delay necessarily prolong
anarchy ? Are you sure that you eau procure
a better reconciliation after prolonged auareby,
without employing force? Who will advo
cate the employment of force merely to hinder
and deiay, through prolonged anarchy, Re
conciliation which is feasible and perfectly con
sistent with the Constitution ? In what part of
the Constitution is written the power to con
tinue civil war against succumbing States for
ultimate political trinmpb ? Wbat would this
be but, in fact, to institute' a neit civil war,
after one bad ended with the complete attain
ment of the lawfnl objects for which it was
waged. Congress and' the Administration
have power to levy wars against foreign States
for whatever cause they see fit. Congress and
the President have a right to accept or even
make war against any part of the people of
the United States only under tkeir limited
power to suppress sedition and insurrection,
and for that purpose only. What then ? Must
wqgive up the hope of further elevation of
classes in the several States without any new
guaranties for individual liberty and progress ?
By no means. Marching in this path of pro
gress and elevation of masses is what we have
been doing always an the season of peace, and
what wc have been doiDg still more effectually
in the prosecution of the war. It is a nation
al march as onward and irresistible as the late
conflict between free and, slave labor‘was vig
orous and irrepressible. [Enthusiastic ap
plause.] The plan of .reconciliation we are
pursuing has given us two great national ad
vances in this progress of moral and political
elevation, -which are now to be made fast and
firmly fixed. First, it secures a voluntary abo
lition of slavery by every State which has en
gaged in insurrection ; and secondly, it must
secure and does secure an effectual adoption by
the late Slave States themselves of the amend
ment of the Federal Constitution, which de
clares that neither slavery nor involuntary ser
vitude, except for crime, >.hall ever hereafter
exist in any part of the United States. [Ap
plause.] The people who have so steadily ad
hered to the true path ot democratic progress
and civilization through all the seductions of
peace, and through sf many difficulties and at
such fearful cost in war, will now have new in
ducements and encouragements to persevere in
that path until they shall have successfully re
duced to a verity the sublime assertion, of the
political equality of ali men, which the foun
ders, in their immortal declaration, laid down
.as the true basis of Americtm Union. [Pro
longed applause.] It is certain that the plan
Of reconciliation which I have thus largely
explained, must and will be adopted. [Ap>-
plause.] It may, however, be hindered or has
tened. How can it be hindered ? You arq
yourseives aware of the answer when you fas
ten upon any violent, or faciious or seditious
exhibition of passion or discontent in any of
tlie lately rebellious States, and argue from it
the failure of the plan. You argue justly.—
Every turbulent aod factious person in the
lately insurrectionary States is resisting, hin
dering and delaying the work of restoration to
the extent of bis ability. But the case is pre
cisely the same with ourselves. -Manifesta
tions of doubt, distrust, crimination, con
tempt or defiance in the loyal States are equal
ly injurious, and equally tend to delay the
work of reconciliation. How, then, shall it
be hastened ? I reply, virtually, in the lan
guage of the President—in the spirit of the
Constitution, and in harmony not only with
our politics but with our religion:—“We must
trust each other.” [Applause.] Can we not
trust each other? Once we were friends.—
We hare since been enemies. We are friends
again. [Renewed applause.] But, whether
in friendship or in enmity, in peace or in war,
we are and can be nothing else to each other
than brethren. [Loud applause.]
The South and the English.
A few evenings ago an hundred Southern
men, who recently had been more or less in
fluential and leading revolutionists, visited my
house at Washington. They were frank, un
reserved and earnest in their assurances of
acquiescence and rOconciliation, as I also was
in mine. Happily, a party of intelligent
Englishmen were in my dwelling at the same
time. I introduced the laje rebels to the repre
sentatives of sympathizing England, and I
said to the parties : “You. lately each of you
thought that the Southern men preferred
British rule to citizenship in the United
States.” While the Englishmen individually
disclaimed, both parlies promptly answered, as
they now do, that that idea was not merely a
delusion, but an absurd mistake. They how
knew that even during the excitement of the
war, the American citizen, whether North or
South, really. Referred his own' country
man of every section to any other people in
the world. ~ v

Some of you fear that the President may be
too lenient to those Southern leaders who
plunged the country into the calamities of civil
war. Except those of you who have been
maimed or bereaved, has any of you suffered
more of wrong, insult and insolence, at the
hands of these leaders than he has ? Can we
not folget where we can forgive ? Are you
aware that his terms of amnesty to ^offenders
are far more rigorous than those which were
offered by Abraham Lincoln ? Hare.yon ever
seen the majesty of law more firmly main
tained than it has been by him i n the exercise
of discriminating clemency ? [Applause.]
Some of you. seem to have been slightly dis
turbed by professions or demonstrations of
favor toward the President, made by parties
who hare heretofore opposed his administra
tion, as well as the administration of bis pre
decessor. [Laughter.] And you ask : May
not the President yet prove unfaithful to us ?
For myself, I laid aside partisanship, if I had
any, in 1661, when the salvation of the coun
try demanded that sacrifice. It is not therefore
my purpose to descend to mere partisanship
now. Andrew Johnson laid aside, l am sure,
whatever of partisanship he had at 'tlie same
time. [Applause.] That noble act' did not
allow, but on the other hand, it forbade collu
sion by the friends of the Union with op
ponents of the policies of the war and of re
conciliation which the GovemmentJias found it
necossary to pursue. Duty requires absolute
and uncompromising fidelity to the supporters
of iliose policies, whosoever and of whatsoever
party they may "be. [Applause.] Andrew
Johnson has practiced that fidelity agaihst the

Be y» faithful, therefore, on your part, and al
though the security I offer is unnecessary and
superfluous, yet I toll guarantee fidelity on his
part. [Renewed cheering.] Those who hitherto
opposed the President, but now profess to sup
port him, either are sincere or insincere. Time
must prove which is the fact. If they are sin
cere, who that has a loyal heart must not rejoice
in- their late though not too long delayed con
version? If they are insincere, are we either
less sagacious, or have we less ability bow than
heretofore to counteract treachery to the national
cause? Perhaps you .fear the integrity of the
man. I confess, with a lull sense of my account-
ability, that among all the public men whom I
have met or with whom 1 have been associated or
concerned, in this or any other country, no one
has seemed to me to be more wholly tree from
personal caprice and selfish ambition tbao An
drew Johnson; none to be more purely and exclu
sively moved in public action by love of country
aDd good will to mankind.
Foreign Relations.
* * * I dmit to speak of foreign na
tions aod of the proceedings of the Govern
ment in regard to them for two reasons; first,
because the discussion of such questions is for
a season necessarily conducted without im
mediate publicity ; the other is a reason 1
need not assign. Nevertheless, I may say in
general terms this: We have claims upon
foreign nations for injuries to the United
States and her citizens, and other nations
have presented claims against this Govern
ment for alleged injuries to them or their
subjects. Although these claims are chiefly of
a personal and pecuniary nature, yet the discus
sion of them involves principlcses sential to the
independence of States and harmony among the
Nations. I believe that the President will
conduct this part of oar affairs in such a man
ner as to yield and recover indemnities justly
due, without any compromise of the national
dignity and honor. With whatever jealousy
we may adhere to otfr inherited principle of
avoiding entangling alliances with foreign
nations, the United States must continue to
exercise, as always before our civil war they
did exercise, a just and beneficent influence in
the international condnct of foreign States, par
ticularly those which' are near to us ou this
continent, and which are especially endeared to
us by their adoption of republican institutions.
[Applause.] That just influence of ours was
impaired, as ought to hare been appwhended
by the American people, when they fell into
the distractions of civil war. With the return
of peace, it is coming back to us again, in
greater strength tlum ever. I am sure that
this important interest has not been lost sight
of by the President of the United States for a
single moment, and I expect that wc shall see
republican institutions, wherever they have
been heretofore established throughout the
American continent, speedily vindicated, re
newed and reinvigorated. . [Applause. ] When
I shall see this progress successfully trorked
out on the American continent, I shall then
look for the signs of its success ful working
throughout the other continents. [Applause.]
It is thus that I think the administration; of
Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson may
be assumed as an epoch at which humanity
will resume with new spirit and courage the
career which, however slow, is nevertheless
constantly directed toward the destruction of
every form of human slavery, and the political
equality of all men. [Enthusiastic and pro
longed applause.]

A SUBTERRANEAN LAKE UNDER
THE CITY,
Ac., » Art., Ac.,
Nashville, Oot. 26.
4 A startling discovery has been made in this
oity within the last few days. A large number of
thieves have been depredating around the city
for some time past. All efforts to catch them
have been unavailing until lately. It has been
ascertained that there are fivo different oaves
under the city, which are occupied by thieves,
burglars and counterfeiters. Toe MeNary [vault
in the graveyard has been put under, guard, and
men-set to work to effect an entrance into the
cave. As fast as the earth is removed fresh earth
is thrown np from the inside of the cave. This is
the same cave that Murrill and his gang occupied
whou engaged in running off negroes and horses.
The qffair h s been kept secret, but leaked out in
spite of the military. A year ago it was reported
that the MeNary tomb was used as a place to
store plunder, and it is commonly reported that a
lake, eovering fire acres and very deep is direetly
under the oily. One man swears to having
thoroughly explored the entire cavern, from one
end to the other. A guard has been stationed
over the Ackten and Harden tombs. The look-*
smith gives his opinion that the lock on the Me-
Nary tomb has been used recently. The entrance
to the cavern is to the foot of Sumner s reet—
The military are determined to find out the outlet
of tbe cave. The entrance looks like a fissure in
the rook. The disoovery originated from the fact
that quite a number of morders have been coir-
ted in the immediate vic&ity, whioh led to an in

sination of President Lincoln, and sentenced by
the Military Commission which tried the con
spirators to six years hard labor on tbe Dry

The' Medical College of Georgia'.
A few days ago we referred briefly to the re
opening of this institution upon the first Mon
day in November next.
We feel it, however, to Re a duty as well as
pleasure, to allude to this valuable College
again, to remind our readers of the fact, that
for many . years it has occupied a prominent
position among the scientific establishments of
the South, ‘and that now, if ever, onr people
should show a proper appreciation of its mer
its. The members of the Faculty are all men
of distinguished attainments.'
It is only necessary to mention the names of
Drs. Ford, Eve and Dugas to convince any one
acquainted with the subject that a -Faculty
thus supported must be among the ablest iit
the country.
It must not be lost sight of in this connec
tion that the oity of Augusta is most conveni
ently located as regards the various counties of
the State, and that undoubtedly.it is one of
the healthiest places in America.
If e trust, that the young men of Georgia
and tbe adjoining States, who design making
medicine their profession, will duly consider
the claims of this institution upon their pa
tronage.—Augusta Constitutionalist.
