The New Flan of Adjustment.
The Louisville (Ky.) Journal con
siders the new plan of adjustment ns
nothing more than a modification of
the Constitutional Amendment, the
proscriptiro clause being omitted, and
thinks it as objectionable as the Amend
ment. Admitting this to be all true, still,
the question is not— what shall we take ?
but, what can we get 7 If the more
Radical of the Radicals declare that
they will territorialize our States, or
place military Satrap3 over us, and
deprive us of all our Constitutional
rights and privileges, and the more
moderate of the same party say to us.
perform certain acts and we vflll go
with the Conservatives in restoring you
to your rights and privileges ; fail to
perform them, and we go with the
former in depriving you of them ; is it
not the part of wisdom to accept the
alternative and take tbe best terms that
we can get ? Surely, in our judgment,
that is the best course. Onr greatest
objection to the Constitutional Aniehd.
meut was its proscription of Confederate
officers. That feature removed, and we
see no dishonor in accepting it, as a
finality and as a solution of all our
political troubles. It is true, it was not
such terms as we would have chosen ;
nor such as we Hould have offered to
an honorable but fallen foe ; nor such
as we would have accepted, if we had
had the privilege of choosing ; but it
was, with the exception of the feature
referred to, about the best that we could
get, or can get. For, as the Louisville
Journal has said, the new plan of ad
justment is the Constitutional Amend
ment, with a few alterations, emenda.
lions, and inoditic-alious.
It leaves the States, under the Constitu
tion of the United States, free (in theory,
at least,) to regnlate tho question of
suffrage for themselves; and in the
State Constitutions it gives the right of
suffrage to all mate citizens who can
read and write, and possess a certain
amount of taxable property. At the
same time it deorives no one of the right
to vote, who was, previous to the adop.
tion of this plan, entitled to vote. If,
however, the State should see fit to ex.
elude any class of people from voting,
it would only decrease its representative
power in Congress, by being represented
only in tbe ratio of voting population-
This is the important part of the plan
aud is not so objectionable, if properly
scanned. We remember well the time
when Gen. Watts, of Alabama, and
other distinguished men of that State
were earnest advocates for the “white
basis" ot representation ; and we see no
objection to the principle involved at all.
It is true we should prefer to have all
the Representative power possible, but if
the Negroes and Indians are not allowed
to vote, there is no reason why they
should be counted in the ratio of repre
sentation allowed to each State.
If, on the other hand, the negro is
allowed to vote, he is to have such re
striction thrown around him as will
prevent him from abusing the privilege
thus conferred upon him ; and as only
the more intelligent and property holders
among that class are to be permitted to
exercise this privilege, of course the
number of votes of this class w ill not be
very great. Indeed, it will place ua
somewhat more on equality with the
North, because the poor ignorant whites
of that section will be brought unde r
tbe same restrictions, and the power o
the demagogues will be greatly de
creased.
So far as “tlie Rebel debt,” so-called,
is concerned, there is none. The Con
federate debt was “payable six months
after the ratification of a treaty of
peace batween that Government and
the United States of America. That
Government having ceased to exist, its
debt has censed to exist with it. On
the other hand, the Union debt i3 an
existing fact, and must be paid—if it
can be, of course. On this point there
is no trouble.
The other condition of the new plan
we look upon, perhaps too favorably, but
as the most acceptable of all. We look
upon it as a prolTer of general amnesty)
as the restoration to their civil rights ol
all those gallant men, who, though they
struggled through war and blood to
secure a Government of tbeir own, yet,
when they saw their efforts all fail and
their cause lost beyond peradventurc,
offered once more earnestly attain good
piith, to renew their allegiance to the
old Government, against which they
had so conscientiously and so bravely,
but so hopelessly struggled, but were
repulsed, and are still kept under the bait
of proscription at home 'and abroad.
Let us hope that the night of our
political troubles is about to pass away i
and that the dawn of the day of peace
and prosperity is once more at hand. Its
sunrise will be bailed with universal
rejoicing.
Letters from an Ex-Rebel, to
Hon. Horace Greeley and Rev.
Henry Ward Beecjier.
KVMBKK'VII.
Si as: In all the eatimates which
public opinion at the North assumes to
make of the temper, disposition and
feeliug of tho jteople in thsae States, it
is taken for grunted that we would renew
the war, rcduslave the negroes, repudi
ate the national debt and restore the
Confederate currency to-morrow, if we
had the strength aud the opportunity to
do so; that it is absolutely necessary to
ketqvos down, aud kick us while we are
down, to preveut us from passing now
ordinances of secession; aud that the
best way to secure ihe liberties and
peace of what you call the “loyal
States,” is to deprive us indefinitely of
both. You form this opinion from tbe
letters of correspondents whose business
it is “to sustain their party,” and from
tbe reports of little olHciais —bureau
agents, assessors, etc., whose impor
tance, opportunities for peculation, aud
life of elegant leisure, would be done
away, if it were once made clear that
there is no more need of their services
in Georgia than there is in Vermont,
and that in the State of “steady habits"
there are more lawlessness and disloyalty
than in BDy of these poverty Btricken
commonwealths which yon so frequently
denounce as the “rebel States ”
I told you in my first letter, that
peace, peace, peace, is the cry of this
people of all sorts and conditions, the
first wish of their hearts, the object of
all their aspirations, and for the attain
ment of which, they are willing to make
any sacrifice which does not involve a
surrender of their honor.
From the moment that independence
became impossible, and that it was evi
dent that submission to the laws and
government of the United States was a
necessity—from that moment we longed
for peace and rest. Four long years of
war, during which, from the greyhaired
grandsire of sixty down to the beardless
boy of fifteen, all classes of the peo
ple felt the toils, the dangers and the
privations of the march, tbe battle and
the bftouac, during which their coun
try’s necessities, the waste of war, and
the t' rch and spoliation of the invaders
swept away the accumulated wealth of
years, and during which, almost every
household in the land had to mourn the
loss of a father, husband, brother or son
—made the desire lor rest as earnest as
it was natural.
Your victory is quite as much attri
butable to our exhaustion as to your
strength, to our destitution as to your
abundance, in all that constitute the
sinews of war. When we laid down
the sword and musket we took up the
plowshare and the reaping hook, and
asked for nothing but to be allowed to
enjoy tbe peace of which they are the
symbols. We strove to cultivate the
arts of peace with as much sincerity as
we had previously pursued the art of
war. We wished to overcome the
animosities which the conflict had en
gendered, and sought in good faith a
lasting, permanent peace—not a truce
or a “still stand of arms”—a renewal of
the good feeliug and good neighborhood
which ought to subsist between mem
bers of the same national family, and
the establishment of an intimate and
mutually beneficial intercourse, based
on confidence, respect, and good will.
We endeavored to induce your people
in a like spirit of generosity and frater
nity, to accept our submission, to believe
our crood faith, to meet us half way on
the open road of conciliation, and aid
us in helping the dead past to bury its
dead. Our every act as a people has
proved our sincerity, and our' readiness
to make great sacrifices in order to
secure peace. The acts and utterances
of a few individuals may have been at
variance with this great popular pur
pose, but they were the exception
which proved the rule. It has been the
fatal error of the North to assume that
these few individuals were the people,
and their deeds and words were evi
dences of popular sentiment.
From the day on which the Confede
rate Armies surrendered, to thejneeting
of the Thirty Ninth Congress, on the
4th of Deeember, 1865, we actively
pursued the path of conciliation, hoping
that the many evidences of our sin
cerity would be received as conclusive,
and that the year 1866 would open on
a Union restored and a people reunited.
Those hopes were killed, and the feel
ings which they inspired were stifled
when the dominant majority in Con
gress began to develop the unjust pur'
pose which it has since steadily pursued'
We have been persistently reviled,
threatened, taunted, denounced, slan
dered, and oppressed. If we protested,
we were rebellious , if we remonstrated,
we were defiant ; if we were silent, we
were contumacious. The conscious
ness of power seems to have crushed
out all generosity aud good will, and to
have intensified animosity, tbe thirst
for revenge, and tbe desire for punish
ment.
But notwithstanding all this, docs not
the patience with which we have borne
it, prove the sincerity of our desire (or
peace, the truth of our assurances, the
reality ot our loyalty? Without varia
bleness or shadow of turning we have
struggled straight onward in the pursuit
of peace. 11 we have felt anger, we have
repressed it. If we have felt indigna
tion, we have not given it utterance. If
we have been galled by oppression,
or if wo have writhed under unmerited
contumely and persistent calumny, wo
have never been betrayed into the indul
gence of intemperate complaintornngry
recrimination. We longed for peace
and would not, by any act of ours, retard
it coming. You would deeply wrong
yourselves as well as ns, were you to
suppose that our patience uud forbeur
ance are caused by fear, that our sub
mission is servile, or that we would
cringe to fbree. If ibe war has been
barren of all other gain to n», U has
certainly established that in the cour
age, ehduranee, self sacrifice, pride aud
honor which constitute the manhood of
a people, we are not deficient. Wo mil*
milted in good faith and in all honOr*
We renewed onrallegiauce to the United
Status with a fixed aud unalterable re
solve to keep uur vows.
We claim no credit for this, but we do
claim tha| we have a right to be be
lieved. We ask for nothing on earth
but peace. It is all we want. We wish
to he your friends, your allies, your fel
low-citizens. To prove this we have
made sacrifices and are willing to make
still other sacrifices. Wc are weary ot
strife. Contention is odius to us. All
our feelings and all our interests are on
the side ot Peace. All that honor will
allow we will do to secure it. Name
the price at which you will grant it, and
if it does not involve loss of honor and
self respect, we will pay it and put an
end to the barr&ssiug litigation which is
distracting the thoughts, crippling the
energies, and exhausting the resources
of both parties, and which if continued
must result in their ruin. With peace
restored what a career of usefulness to
humanity, progress and civilization is
before the people of all sections of our
country; but while we continue as now,
a house divided against itself, what can
we effect but our own downfall ?

Hale County.— Alabama has named
one ot her new counties Hale, in honor
of Stephen F. Hale, who commanded
one ot her regiments, and died from
wounds received in one of the battles
around Richmond. Colonel Hale was,
we believe, n descendant of the old
revolutionary stock of Hales, of Massa
chusetts, rendered historical by the
patriotic devotion of Captain Nathan
Hale, who was hung by the British as
a spy.
