Jackson, Miss., August 22, * v ^
To the President of the United State-L
The members of the Convention of the i
State of Mississippi, assembled !or the
purpose of amending the State Constitu
tion so as to restore our relations with
the federal government, as Mississippians
and individuals, respectfully preeoiit the
following petition:
Charles Clark, late Acting Governor of
this State, is, we learn, held hr confine
ment by authority of the I nited t^tates
Government at Fort i’ulaski. He is old,
maimed, shattered in constitution and
wrecked iu fortune, lie has long been
known as a gentleman of high social po
sition, of great worth, integrity and in
telligence.
Jefferson DaviH, lately the President of
the States in rebellion against the feder
al government, is said to be in strict eon
fincincnt and debarred the privilege of
conversing with his family or friends.
Ife is suffering ill health and said to be
threatened with the loss of sight His
family is reduced to poverty.
Here, resistance to the authority of the
United States is at an end. There is no
longer among our people any intention or
wish to resist the government, but
but an honest determination to return to
their peaceful occupations and to restore
tho prosperity that once blessed our State.
The action of tho Convention now in ses
sion leaves no doubt of the truth of this
assertion. We believe that what is said
of our own State is true of all the States
lately in rebellion.
IJow of us coincided with Messrs. Da
vis and Clark in their political opinions.
Most of us voted against secession, and
for years opposed the State rights party,
yet none of us doubted that Mr. Davis
acted upon au honest and sincere convic
tion that tlie theory of our government
which he adopted was right—a theory
once advocated by some of tho best men
our country produced. He was loth to
resort to a disruption of the Union as a
mode of remedying what lie thought to
be wrong in the past and guarding
against other and morn grievous wrongs
which he believed to by impending. Al
ter the convention assembled in this State
bad passed an ordinance of secession, he
left the Senate of the United States reluc
tantly and with sorrow, believing, we
a:o assured, that he was required to do
so by his duty to the State, a due regard
for consistency and the political princi
ples he had so long adhered to—the sol
emn, earnest and patriotic appeals con
tained in his latest addresses to the Sen
ate, justify us in these opinions. It was
well known to our people that he was
not among the most ardent of his polit
ical associates.
Iu other timne, lonrlinfy Miasisaippians
to victory, ho gallantly fought and bled
for the Union, and refected honor and re
nown upon our State as well as The whole t
country. Wo cannot be indifferent, to 1
his fate now, however much we differ
from him in his political opiuions, and we
can but sympathize with him in his mis
fortunes.
When a war of sections began, '‘inau
gurated not 60 much by the action or ap
peals of individuals, as by the general
uprising, and enthusiasm of tlhe masses
ho was chosen with extraordinary una
nimity, because he was known to be hon
est, sincere and prudent, to preside over
the States in revolt, lie was the repre
sentative of the sentiment of the people
of the States. His acts were those of tho
? ;roat body of the people. We rcspect-
ully and earnestly ask that our sins, the
sins of millions for whom, and with whom
ho acted, may not be visited upon his
bead.
Now that our people arc returning,
heartily and cheerfully, to their allegiance
we are confident the pardoh of the gcu-
tleincn wc have mentioned will go very far
to produce a more kindly feeling between
people of the North and South, and rid
us of much of that asperity yhieh lias
arisen from tho recent conflict. Wc be
lieve, too, that the pardon of Mr. Davis
would .be an act of grateful magnanimity
becoming a powerful government, whose
military strength and resources have as
tonished the world, and whose claims to
respect would rest not more upon 'its
E ower than upon its acts of mercy in the
our of triumph. We submit that this
act would elicit the applause and excite
the admiration of all good men and gov
ernments abroad.
We think the disasters that war has
brought upon us will prevent the recur
rence of the rebellion. These disasters
may well stand in tho pl*cc of further
t unishment. They have reached us all.
Fe recognize them in the desolation of
our fields—in the ruin of our homesteads
—the destruction of untold wealth—tLe
terrible loss of life, and the sweeping-
away of almost all that makes a people
great, prosDerous and happy. We there
fore appeal, earnestly and respectfully
fo the President to extend to these gem
tlemen, ro whose fate Mississippians es
pecially feel so deep an interest, the same
clemency which he has generously ex
tended to so many of our people.

Tracing this word amnesty to its root,
we find it composed of the Greek particle

ber. in political law it is used to signify
an act of pardon or oblivion, usually ut

that all arts against the established au

all
tendment an oblivion and remission of po
litical offences. The judicial tribunal
gave them even a larger effect than par
don. When general, they embrace a
whole community; when special, only in
dividuals or a designated class. When
absolute, no conditions are attached, when
conditional certain requirements are to be
observed to profit by the benefit. The oc
casion of a victory or a fete was usually
selected to grant amnesties, and when
embraced they could not be extended be
yond, nor restrained within their terras.—
Amnesty, as above stated, is more gra
cious in performance than pardon. It rets
upon adjudged crime, upon accusations
and prosecutions, whilst pmvton only ex
empts the convict from the sentence of the
law, and defeats justice of the victim.—
Auiucsty is pardon, even more—oblivion,
granted by tlie Government, r.ot on tlie
convicted felon, but. to men who may have
been guilty of some offence.
Belligerents, on the cessation of h*»sliH
tics, stipulated for amnesties in a treaty
of peace; sometimes implied them, as in
the conventions between Grant and Lee,
Juhntson and Sherman, which contained
a clause of safe conduct and peaceable en
joyment of their homes to the surrendered
armies, without distinction of rank; a con
vention which President Johnson execut
ed in part and is daily executing by his
general amnesty and special pardons.
The effect of thc amnesty is to rub out
the past history of the revolutionist and
consign it to oblivion; to obliterate thc
remembrance and destroy thc record,
whilst pardon can have no operation save
the-remission of thc seufenee. Amnesty
concedes all, and obligates but little.—
Pardon grants.IcsS and binds more. One
follows crime, conviction, the forms of
procedure and judgment, but the stain of
the transgression survives. The other
loaves no infamy, and purifies with a
touch as healing as the waters of Damas
cus. These distinctions, which Merlin,
and Daelos, and other French writers
broadly lay down; establish the design of
an amnesty to be the preservation of the
public peace, the rehabilitation of the per
son or community under tho ban of the
Government, bo perfect oblivion of the
past, and the return of all the civil and
political rights enjoj’ed before the distur
bance. Such were the amnesties accord
ed on the restoration of Charles II, the

The St. Louis Repaidican of the 2d says:
“The thirteenth annual meeting of the
General Association of Missouri Baptists
was held in Boonville on the 10th and
21st ult. About fifty members were pres
ent, and agreed to decline taking the
oath required of ministers and teachers
by the new constitution. The reasons for
this action are set forth in a lengthy doc
ument, which has been sent to us for pub
lication. Some of these reasons are, in
- . . _ brief. 1st, That the oath is in conflict with
by tbo Piedmontese constitutions, ancLthey constitution of the United States, as
‘ * c ‘ interfering with the freedom of- worship
ping God, as ex post facto in its operations
and as making every minister who refus
es to take it become a witness against
himself. 2d, The oath is unjust and tine- i
qual in itft operations. 3, It proposes to j
punish ministers for what is really no
crime against any human law. 4th, To
take thc oath is to ocknowlojge an au
thority in the State that does not belong
to it, and that human authority is above
divine.”
