Tke Sew York Itmas of the 2slh insL, fi'cs the following aa the plani. extenso, aad that our readers may tke better aadentand it, we give it ia foil. This plan, it will be observed. paU the rights of suffrage upon aa edocatioual qualification, and would ex clude the ignorant negroes of the South, and the ignorant white* of the North alike from rating. The subject is one I of considerable interest, and is worthy ! ot consideration. There has got to be a settlement of some kind, for the country cannot stand the present state of affairs mnch longer; and we can only hope tbit that settlement, when made, will be as '-arambie as possible to our section. This is the proposed plan : Earir in November last I into'med you that leading politicians of the North and South Republicans, Democrats and ex Rebels alike—bad beer; iu con ference ujon a plan, whereby, should it be adopted, it was believed the unfortu nate differences between the North and Sooth, and between the Executive and Legislative branches of the Government would be satisfactorily adjusted; and 1 also informed you that these gentlemen were urging the President to adopt this scheme, and recommend it to the favor able consideration of the Sr uth. Sus frage and amnesty formed the bssis of that : reposition. Mr. Johnson gave to the suggestions of these patriotic gent'e ud> the most careful and sincere con sideration, and was &t once favorably impressed with them. But inasmuch as the Amendment to the Constitution was then before the people, aud its adoption or rejection undecided, the President deemed it impolitic, if not ab solutely improper, to present the matter to the country, believing as he does, and he has acted upon this belief, the asser tions to the contrary notwithstanding. The Southern people should decide upon the proposed Amendment without let or hindrance from the Executive. The time bag come when it may be safely assumed that the Constitutional Amend* incut will fail to receive the ap proval of the Southern States, aad upon this assumption Mr. Johnson is considering the propriety of giving his approval to the main features ot the scheme first above mentioned. And of recommending its adoption by the South ern States, in deference to the demand ot the people of the North, and in which Southern Representative men who have been heard upon the subject acquiesce. The President thinks that the negro population of the South should Lave such safeguards thrown about them as to secure to them the permanent enjoy ment of their freedom and of all civil rights. The negro, armed with the ba.lot, can a, well protect himself as any other citizen. As Mr. Johnson in terprets the Constitution, he does not dis cover any power in the General Govern ment to legislate upon the subject of suf frage iri the States, iu whom rests the exclusive control of the matter? Some of the Northern States, Massachusetts aud New York, for example, have given the ballot to the negro. In one of them is an educational, iu the other, a pro perty. qualification, and it is asked why may not South Carolina, for instance, be placed upon the same footing with Massachusetts, aa to those who shall hereafter be admitted to the elective franchise, and why may not the loyal representatives of the former be ad mitted to Congress upon the same foot ing as the representatives of the latter. Working out this plan in a practical form, let the people of the State of South Carolina so amend their Consti tution and laws as to extend the elec tive franchise so for as Massachusetts has done. As an incentive to this re form, the President intimates his readi ness to issue a proclamation of amnesty to all the people of South Carolina who may have approved the movement. This reform accomplished, the people ot that Slate elect loyal representa tives to Congress, blacks voting with whites, ns indicated above. It would then rest with Congress to determine whether these representatives should be admitted. I have good reason for say ing that this plan for adjusting the ex istiug difficulties in the way of recon structiou, is now receiving the serious consideration of the Administration, and has been discussed iu Cabinet with n view to its adoption. It differs from Mr. Greeley's amnesty suffrage scheme in this, that it provides for separate State action and proposes a qualified suffrage, and it leaves impracticable and uurepeolent rebels subject to the penal ties ior treason, amnesty and suffrage being qualified. It leaves States to the exercise of 'their constitutional preroga tive of prescribing the qn- !,fictitious of voters add 'extending the elective fran chise to the negro, To the executive the dispt-usation of pardon dbd amnesty, aud to the Legislative the admission oi loyal representatives to (he respective houses of Congress. Each branch of the Government thus harmoniously moving in it* appropriate sphere. Is Chicago, a few days since, ayonng lady with a capacious waterfall was out sletghiqg with her admirer, when they were overtaken by another sleigh, the horse of which grasped her waterfall, which bad become powdered with snow, between his teeth. She screamed, uway started ibu horses, and the hair pins came out, leaving her head greatly re duced in size anti altered iu shape. Aid to U« South. Tb* prop)* of Now York (Sty actua ted by tbo spirit of Charity nod* frater nal regard foe the poople of the South, bora taken measure* to give eoese relief, ia a tangible ahape, to tbafefferia* poor of this section. There are number* in various portions of the Sooth who ore really snfferiug for tho want of the necesanrits of lifb; nnd to aid them is to perform n work of charity indeed.— The coarse panned by New York City is one well calculated to awaken the gratitude of our people, and to restore the bond* of aalioaai fellowship suu dered by the late war, and the asperities which follow: The New York Time* of the 26th insu, ia its notice of this movement has the following kindly remarks: Aid roa ths Soot a. — To-morrow nigkt a grand mass meeting will be held at Cooper Institute in response to a call signed by many of our beat known and j most respected citizen*, the object of l which ia to Uke prompt measures for the relief oi people of the South now suffering from the want of the necessa ries of tile, in consequence of the almost total foilure of tbeir crops, in addiliou to the devastations of war. Snrely this is an object deserving of universal sympathy, calling for the im mediate attention of every generous na ture worthy of the serious effort now ; being made by the gentlemen who sign the call. The reports that come to us from our correspondents, aud confirmed by the observations of travellers and traders, iodieaie a state of destitution ia the Southern States of which we can torm the merest idea. The undeniable facts of poverty, pri vation, destitution in every form, scarci ty, no* of money aloue, but of clothing, outer and under garments, forming uten sils, boots and shoes, even in many in staaces food and shelter itself, stare os in the face, aud thus for mutely but power fully appeal for succor and relief. The silence of the Southern people is met in some instances by our platitudinarian philanthropists with “if they are too proud to beg let them starve-/' and agaio, when an occasional petition has found its way to the hard heads of the same genus, they reply, ‘‘we have quite enough to do to attend to ouroyrn poor.” This spirit is neither Christian nor hu mane, nay more, it is thoroughly un- American. We owe it to ourselves, to our reputation abroad and our consci 1 cnee at home to extend the helping hsud, aud afford the needed relief to our brethren who, though misguided and re kless heretofore, are none the less sick imd in trouble now. Let the dead bury its dead, and the bring care for the living. An appeal in behalf of struggling Greece is met at once whh judicious liberality ; the Cretans, in their despair, turn confidently to America; missionary associations for every class and coudi tiou of men on the round earth are sup. ported by the money of New York, aud it wiil hever be said, we are .sure, that the metropolis of they nation, the great City of the continent, was deaf to the cries ol its own neighbors, or turned lull-banded uway from the naked and the hungry of its own name. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher will ad dress the meeting on this occasion, and we are confident be will stir the assem blage with the warm pulsations of his generous nature to the present and per mnnent assistance of those for whom he pleads. Politics, we are pleased to state, have nothing to do with this mat ter or this meeting. It is simply n question of humanity—simply a matter of bouest, honorable, manly help for thousands of naked, starring, helpless m< ,i, women, and children. And the New York Herald of the same date says: Charity at Home asd Abroad. —ls charity should begin at home it need not end there. Oar citizens may well respond heartily to the appeals which wiil be made to them at the Cooper In stitute to night in behalf of the destitute at the South, aud to-morrow night in behalf of the sufferers by the insurrec tion in Crete. At ihe time when such heroes as Marco Bozzaris. such philan thropists as l>r. Howe, such poets as. Byron and Fitz Greene Halleck, and such orators a Clay, Webster, and Ev erett, had awakened universal interest in the cause of the Greeks, the shrill voice of John Randolph was once raised in Congress to remind his hearers “There are Greeks at our own doors!” This exclamation may he repeated now with equal truth. Without lessening sympa tby with the Candidates, it should quick en our sympathy with “the Greeks at our own doors,” with the freezing and starving poor, with penniless widows and orphans at the South and in this me tropolis. The Philadelphia Convention The Macon Gettryia Citizen says that “most of the papers of Georgia and the South that went in so strougly for the Philadelphia Convention, last summer, are now condemning the practice of dirt taliny with much zeal and unction.— Having had tbeir political digestion im paired by the practice, they are the proper ones to give advice against its contin nance.’ Good for you, Doctor. Your own pa per, the Augusta Comtitulionalut, the Augusta Daily Press, and the Daily Adxertiaer , were the only papers in this State, that we now recollect, which took grounds against that Convention, as being not only inexpedient, but unwise. The resalt has shown that the minority was correct. The editor of the Consii tutwnalist—Salem Dutcher, Esq.,—a ready and vigorous writer, lost his situ ation on account of his opposition to that Convention ; the other papers we have named lost popularity and patron age ; but events have proved that we were right. The Convention was worse than useless—it was a positive injury to us.— Oar. Daily Adveiiiscr. We are gratified at the course which we pursued in regard to that convention, because time had shown that we, in common with the few papers which then agreed with us, were correct in the position which we then assumed. It is true, we should have rejoiced if the convention had been successful and settled all our National difficulties; but “dirt eating” did no good then and will do no good now. There can be no benefit from a National Convention, called for the purpose of organizing new parties. The whole subject is now in the hands of Congress, aud with that power we must treat for a settlement of our politi cal troubles. That we hope we shall be able to do without “eating” a great deal of “dirt." —There was a shower of veritable on Red river, January 2d. One m an at he red a bushel equal to Turk's jgluud. Letters fro* •* lx-Aobol, to Hob. Horace Greeley and Her. Henry Ward Beecher. IVMIES L Sir* t Os all the prominent men at the North, who advocated and main tained the principles which the people of the Sooth considered so destructive of tbeir interests and right* that they appealed to the ultima ratio regime in their defence, you are now, in my opinion, the oalf men ot influence who have the power and the will to calm the storm which you helped to raise, and who, bearing no malice or hatred in your hearts, have the disposition and the courage to use the strength which the fortune of war has given to your section to restore the Union without destroying the liberties of ooe third ot it* members. The Creator ha* en dowed you both with intellectual gifts of the highest order. Your talents have raised you to positions of extraordinary power and influence. You are both in daily intercourse with thousands of your fellow citizens who look up to you,as their instructors. There is not a word you speak, nor a line you write, which is not heard or read with faith in its wis dom and truth by the masses who re. cognize and submit to your guidance. I Your respective congregations believe in you as they do in the Gospel, which one of you preaches, and your com bined influence is, therefore, greater than that of any hundred men in your party. Convinced, as I am, of yonr capacity, power with the masses, and benevolence of heart, I address you, in behalf of that portion of the Republic which you call the “Rebel States,” ia the earnest hope that, however widely we may differ on political questions, and however irreconcilable oar views on the matters relating to the great contest between our respective sections, we may meet and join hands for the attainment of that holy aspiration of every Christian : “Peace on earth, good will toward man.” I believe implicitly in the sincerity of your convictions, and that the political doctrines which you advocated so per sisteutly, and which have prevailed to an extent beyond your expectations, were prompted by your honest persua' sion that you were right. My convic’ lions were diametrically opposed to yours, my advocacy of my opinion was as persistent as yours, aud though they have been overborne, my belief that I was right, was as sincere as yours. For what I am going to say to you I ask a patient hearing, I ask you to give me credit for sincerity, to believe that 1 am not actuated by any partizan or sectional feeling (I mean in a hostile sense of the latter term), aud wLeu 1 call things, as I think, by their right names, do not suppose that I mean to be offensive, or to wound the feelings of anybody, but that I do so frura the same motives which animate the surgeon who uses the knife, or actual cautery to benefit his patient. I mean no dis courtesy iu addressing you through the columns of a newspaper. On the con trary, it is because 1 so fully recognize your prominence, I choose this mode of communication, that in addressing you I may also reach others, oi whom yon are the leaders ; I write over an assumed signature, because my name would not add any weight to the statements I make, or the arguments I use; and, because I do not seek nor desire pub licity. Whatever may be the opinions to which the (assion engendered by war, or the elation of victory has given rise aud established concerning the right of a State to secede from the Union, and whatever of crime failure may have attached to the exercise of that supposed right, you know and will admit that from the foundation of the Government to the day of General Lee’s surrender at Ap pemattox Court House, the existence of the right was almost universally claimed by the South, was asserted aud threat ened to be enforced by more than one of the States of the North, and was advo cated aud defended by a large number of the citizens ot your section, many of whom are now prominent among those who swell the cry of Fa victii. This fact may not be deemed a sufficient jus tification of what you call our “rebellion, - ’ bat may it not he reasonably urged as an extenuatiug circumstance which may well incline the hearts oi the judges to mercy when making up their sentence? If the moral guilt of any action lies in the intent, the fact that the “rebel States” only did what they believed they had a perfect right to do, and what thou sands of Northern men believed they had a right to do, should not he forgot ten by those at whose mercy defeat has placed them. It can serve no good purpose to ar gue whether .or not the causes which impelled the seceding States to attempt to sever their alliance with the United States, were sufficient. It can do no good to assert that the motives which setnated those which led the secession movements were pure and honest. It is not my purpose to defend secession, although I belonged to that reviled class of “original secessionists,” in the con scientious conviction that I was guilty of no crime. Ido not make thid state rnent as a boast, but that I may display my true colors, and prove to you, as I hope to do hetore I close these letters, that the honest advocacy oi secession and the Southern cause during the war, does not necessarily exclude the possi bility of honest submission to the laws and Constitutional authority of the United States, or of unequivocal loyalty to the Government. I propose to endeavor to convince you—first, That, when the “rebel States” laid down their arms, they abandoned forever all hope of separate indepen deuce, and submitted, in good faith, to ths Federal Government; that, when they renewed their allegiance, they meant what they said; and that their subsequent acts have fully illustrated their sincerity. Secood, That, in giving their voluntary consent to the abolition of domestic slavery, they recognised the necessity and the duty to protect and defend the emancipated negroes in ail the right* of person and property which freedom gave them ; to deal with them liberally as well as justly, and use all proper mean* to promote their social and material prosperity. Third, That, in reinsing to ratify the pending Const . tutional Amendment, in the framing of which, though all its provisions were in tended to spply to them exclusively, they had no voice, they were actuated by no feelings of hostility or defiance ) but by a conscientious sense of hono r and self-respect. Fourth, That all the stories which reach yon of rebel turbu lence, disaffection, lawlessness, cruelty to negroes, persecution of Northern aud Union men, conspiracy with Northern copperheads to obtain control of the Government, are unmitigated false hoods, as applied to the masses of the people, or as representations of popular sentiment, aud that while, here and these, the intemperate action ot an individual may furnish the narrators “a thread of candor,” their own malice and injustice supply them with “a web of wiles.” Filth, that Peace, Peace. Peace is the cry ot the people of all sorts and conditions—the first wish ot their hearts—the object of all tbeir as* pirations, and for the attainment of which, they are willing to consent to any sacrifice which does not involve a surrender of their honor. And sixth, that amnesty, forgiveness, good wifi/hnd generous concession on the part of the North, securing the liberties, recogniz ing the equality and respecting the manhood of the Sonth, are the best, in deed, the only means of restoring the Union so as to insure its permanence, and secure the prosperity of all its parts. By Territorial bills, disabling acts, confiscation, and penal laws, even admitting that the Constitution allows snch legislation, the North may create a wilderness, but it is the most fatal de lusion to call it peace. I ask a candid and patient hearing, for my causes’ sake. I want to eonntrv where I live, and the country where you live, from the ruin which the present condition of affairs must work, if continued much longer, and I want to see a Union restored in which all may take pride, and in which the terms conquoror and vanquished shall be beard no more.
