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 ? ’ Xyi.ox. 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.
