Wlwt the l’resident’s opinions nre, is,
jaj-hap*, of little practical importance,
iimatotuch as he is so radically oppoMtl
bv a Radical Congroos, that he con not
cnleree those opinions, il he woiil«l.
Neeertheless, it is yru'.iHui<i to learn
that he continue* firm aud unyielding in
his reconstruction policy, and contends
strongly and unanswerably for the right
ot representation. In regard to the
constitutional rights Qfthe several States,
he is eloquent and forcible, and fortifies
his position with extracts from the
expressed views of some of the most
distinguished of the lathers of the
Republic. He goes farther, and urges
the propriety ot allowing the people of
the ] listrict Os Columbia to be repre
sented in the House of Representatives
bv a Delegate, chosen by themselves, as
ill ‘ thfe case of Territories. He argues
his points so well, and so forcibly, that
there is scarcely anything to be added
that could give additional weight or
strength to them. His style, too, is
mild and conciliatory; and will, it is to be
hoped, have a good effect in the quarter
whure a good effect is much to be
jlesired.
llis policy is the true policy. Let the
Constitution be strictly construed, and
faithfully observed. Let there be no
taxation without representation. Let
aft the rights of all the States be freely
permitted, aud as freely observed. Con
filiation will do more to restore the
unity and harmony of the States, and
the strength and power of the Govern
ment. than all the harsh measures that
were ever invented to punish a rebel
lious people.
We do not pretend to dicta e to the
President or to Congress. \v e know
that that would be folly. But we teel
that, as an American citizen, we have a
right to our opinions, and ; right to ex
press them, and these we can give in the
spirit ot kindness and good will to all
of our countrymen. It is in this na
tional spirit that we so freely express
an opinion in regard to the policy of
reconstruction.
We have a common country now, and
it is to the interest of all, in every sec
tion, that political harmony should pre
vail throughout that common country.
Is this harmony, so desirable, to be
obtained by harsh and arbitrary meas
ures? Certainly not. Congress may
have the right to enforce them, bat it is
onlv the right which might gives, and
ought not be exercised. The policy of
th<- President Seems to us the wiser and
bc-tt -r policy, lienee, we have advo
c-k 1 t it and sustained him. But the
people of tfie North have, by their re
cent votes, placed it out of his power to
enforce his views; and it is only for
Congress now to decide whether it will
adopt his wise and just suggestions, or
continue its own policy. We hope
that better counsels will prevail ; that
that body will overcome its prejudices
against the'Southern States and people,
nn l.jVin with the President in his noble
cGort to restore peace and unity to the
whole Union ; and that they will not
oiviv atlinit the Southern Stutfes to a r»-p
--resi utatiou in their hotly, hut instruct
the President to issue a General Am
nesty Proclamation, including in it the
e.t-President of the late “rebellious
States.*’ This will give joy throughout
tint land, restore peace, unity, political
harmony, national greatness, linancial
security, industry, and general prosper
ity, through bll the wide borders ol the
Union ; and secure the stability of the
Government, in the closing language
of President Johnson's Message : “ The
interests of the nation are best promoted
by the revival of fraternal relations, the
complete obliteration of our past dif
ferences, and tbe reinangttration of all
the pursuits of peace. Directing our
efforts to the early accomplishment of
these great ends, let us endeavor to pre
serve harmony between the coordinate
Departments of the Government, that
each in its proper sphere may cordially
coOpcrate with the other in securing
the maintenance of the Constitution,
the preservation of ttxe U nioh, and the
perpetuity of our f)t°.institutions. ’
TtMrttBANCE Lbctcbe.—We have
listened to many elhUive arguments in
favor of total abstinence, but we never
hemU one. more exhaustive than that
of the houisl Gorman, who was invited
to speak at a meeting of the friends ot
the temperance cause. Alter some
hesitation, lie arose and said :

New York, Dec. 2.
Ship Kate Dyer, of Portland, from
Callao, with a cargo of seventeen hundred
tons guano, consigned to R. C. Ferguson,
of New York, was run into last evening
by the steamship Scotland, hence for
Liverpool, and sunk in an instant, giving
those who were saved barely time to get
into boats. Thirteen of the crew went
down with the ship. The Scotland had
her bow badly stove, and after picking
up the rest of the crew of the ship,
headed for New York. The leak gained
so rapidly, however, that she was run
ashore on the outer middle off Sandy
Hook, where site still lies, half full of
water. Her pumps are useless.
