llt l ONHTItI'CTION I
Tle<e are two theories us Southern
lenliratton nr leconsiructii.n, now con
tending lor irißMlery in lire next Federal
Congress. The (nut m, “to treat the
■Southern Stales as never having been out
i the Union, because the Constitution
'.ubi.ls secession, and, therefore, a fart
Ini hidden hy law ooiild uot exist. ’’ The
mher ie, to aocepl the position to whioh
i*.© Southern Staten placed Ihomsolveß an
i verert iroiu ihe Union—in independent
f 'VProroeni <le /acta, and its citizens ae
alien enemi.e, to tie dealt with according
' ll e lawn of war' ”
lie tiret is bet forth hy Si orotary Sew
ard in bin recent letter to Charles Francis
A lains, as the one helm.; foil, in practical
applii atiou by President Johnson. It is
ilia Deni >oratio theory, looking to the re
t- lahlibhinent of the Union in.its pristine
tp'endor and greatness It seeks to give
the Southern Stales trade, industry, and
roflperity within the Union io thn short
est possible period, and toil to hold fheai
b.wri mfi conquered provinces, to be re
admitted as territories after a long and
severe military tulilage
The second is tins reconstruction theory
of the radical, negro fihohlsts' party,
whioh stands in direct antagonism to the
administration of President Johnson. It
compels the .Southern people to take Ihe
position that the ordinations of secession
pained hy them and the war which follow
ed, carried their .States out of the Union,
«nd that these Stales sUli remain out
I’m Otic-ally, it lories its In ho again
“ rebels hy constraining os to refuse to
abide the recent .'incision of arms
The first seeks a speedy restoration of
lho Southern States to their am lent aud
honorable position of equality in the
Union. The second, a reconstruction ol the
Union, at soma remote period in the fu
ture, hy i e-ad null mg the States uow held
in subjection as conquered territories.
One seeks to preserve the civil and politi
•al organisation ol the States , the other,
to destroy those organizations, obliterate
State lines, and mako the Government a
consolidated Empire with a vast public
domain, composed of the wreck of the
eleven seceded Stales
U is clear, then, that the restoration
theory of President Johnson i* the one
most favorable lo the Southern people,
and the ono which should meet their cor
dial and cheerful approbation. Indeed
it would seem wholly improbable that any
people situated as we now are could long
hesitate to give the President our united
confidence and support And yet there
are those—only a few in number, however
-—who hesitate to do this. They favor
the radical theory of reconstruction, in
that, that they affect to believe the South
ern Slates out of the Union, and want the
ordinance of secession “ repealed ’’ in or
dor to get back I They thus out loose
from the President, antagonize with fits
administration, and atliliate (whether de
signedly or not) with the Radicals i t Now
England.
The question at issue in the late war, as
we understand it, and as we h.»ve here
tofore stated, wav this: The Southern
people claimed the right to ho independ
ent its Ihe general Government by means
of peaceable separatum or secession The
National Government denied the existence
of this right. The issue was decided by
the surrender of the Southei u armies, ll
was thus proclaimed that the right of se
cession had no existence under the Con
stitution. There oan be no appeal from
this armed tribunal of last resort, because
it is the highest tribunal known to civil
ization. it follows as a necessary conse
quence, that the several aots of attempted
sOoession were nullities, that wo have
never been out of the Union: and that
what happened was in point of law only
a suspension of the relations of the sece
ded Statos with the general Government,
while Ihe question at issue was being de
termined
To elucidate thu theory more i loarly,
let us suppose a case which is wholly
within the range of probability. The
State Convent ton of Georgia meets and
passes an ordinance declaring tho ordi
nance of secession unconstitutional, and
therefore a nullity , thatGergia has nev
er been out of the Union, amt therefore
entitled to representation in Congress so
soon as the conditions prescribed by the
President shall have been complied with :
that the question of suffrage, growing out
of the incidents of the late war, is one
for local legislation, to be decided by the
Legislature ot the Btate, conveued under
ttie amended Constitution; and that the
new status of the negro makes it ohtiga
tory upon tho Legislature to secure him
in his rights as a freeduiau. Our repre
sentatives present their certificates of
election from the Governor and request
admittance to their seats in Congress. It
they are admitted, the work of restora
tion is finished, and Georgia takes her
stand as an equal in the great family of
Mta l If they are rejected, tho respon
sitji;ifr of breaking up Ihe Government
lies \ . ihe Radicals ; and the President,
by ot his authority, recently exer
cised iu oppressing armed resistauee to
the Constitution and laws of tho Federal
Government, may employ the power ot
ttie Government to restore our represent
atives to their seats For, if he may
thwsri an attempt to break down the
Governmeut in oue section, he may do it
in another ll he may employ force to
keep Georgia from going out of the Union,
he may employ force to defeat a revolu
tionary taction which seeks to force her
cut by refusing her representatives ad
mittance in Congress.

In the Home Courier we notice an in
teresiiug letter addressed by Mr. James
Noble, Jr,, to D. S. Printup, Esq., rela
tive to the discoveries of “oil lands” in
(he coal regions of Cherokee and St. Clair
counties, in Alabama. Two leases of
land, he states, ouo of 316 j acres, and
(mother of 40 acres, adjoining each other,
at tha termination, or breakup of Lookout
Mountain, plainly present evidence or
presenca of oil, as it oan be collected from
the top of the water in the various branch
es or creeks These tracts, he continues,
“have outlets to the river whioh is navi
gable to Rome, Ga , at all seasons of the
year, and are only from one and a half to
two aud a half utiles trom the Steamboat
Landing, and within one half mile of a
graded railroad from Gadsden to Gun
leraville; and there is an easy descent
ii m the coal beds to the railroad, which
w.ll be advantageous for building a rail
or tram road from the mines to the main
line of iraok, aud the cars (loaded) de
scend with their own gravity.”
“If oil is like water or auy other sub
stance that will seek the centre of gravity,
then this is the most favorable place to
bore for oil; for the whole of Lookout
Mountain, for more than thirty miles, dips
towards this place and breaks up; and
these leases are upon the Basin, which
seems formed by nature for the express
purpose of draining and receiving the oil
from a vast rauge of the mountain.”

NEW YORK DAILY AND WEEKLY
NEWS !
TO THE PUBUC I
I'BE NEW YORK NEWS has battled against
despotism for four years of blood and terror
iu assertion of tbe sanctity of the Constitution. A
patriotism sufficiently broad to embrace- both sec
tions has been its only guide, and it refers now
with honest pride to its record to show that it has
not turned to the right or to tbe left under all tbe
violence of arbitrary pow er.
True to its principles as Tub News has been thro’
the reign of terror, it challenges public confidence
in its honesty and independence for the future
The political transition of the present day opens
to The News anew and wider field of uaofuluess.
Standing now, as it always has, on the inviola
bility of the Constitution, according to the inter
pretation of tho strict constructionists, it presents
a rallying ground for all, in both sections'who are
frisnds of a generous conservatism-
Asa true and tried exponent of sectional
amity it occupies a position which makes it
the fitting mediator in holding up to the party ts
order in both sections, interests and principles
that give breadth aud vitality totfceir alliance. As
an intetsectiooal agent, devoted to freedom of elec
tion, to trial by jury, to the sanctity ot the habeas
corpus, and opposed how as for four years of ter
ror It has been, to the centralization that dares to
trample on the rights of States, North or South
The News places itself as a candidate for support
before tbe groat body of thi3 once free people.
The circumstances ol tbe moment make the dis
semination of the principles of The News a duty of
individual patriotism, e very man who concHisin
its doctrines must, if he entertain a Irue sensa of
freedom, do so in no spirit of indifference, lot
rather with the earnestness of a high trust. Jus
tified, nay bouud, iu his love of liberty lo do so, tbe
proprietor places the canvass he makes here of tbe
public generally in the hands of those men who
give hfm the approval of their consciences ns his
individual agents. Every reader of Tus News can
not avoid vne conviction of duty which is here
pointed out as the ground of the request, that ho
nrges Its claims tor a wider support upon allliis
mends and neighbors who give their earnest sym
pathies to the cause of ‘-strict construction,'' m
tersectional conciliation, and all the rights of the
citizen under the system set up by our fathers of
liberty regulated bylaw. Tho proprietor ot The
News calls, therefore, upon good and true Conserv
atives, throughout the country to discharge to their
convictioos of political right at this greatcrisis in
the country’s fortunes, the duty of giving to the
influence of hi3 paper, daily or weekly, tho wider
power for good winch it seeks here through the
service of Us individual supporters.
