He h*s returned back to witness the great changes which hzvo taken place since May 1661, when he sprang forward, at the cell of hie State to obey her command. He left father, mother, wife and ehild.

The South sought peace end the preservation of what tho constitution recognizes as her prop erty from conetint aggression. She wanted neither war nor strife.

Civil wars have most usually been followed by- executions, attainders, forfeitures and proscriptions. The historian has almost uni formly denounced, the executions as unneces sary and barbarous murders; the attainder?, forfeitures and proecriptions as impolitic and unwise. The South via rich when tbe war began, she is now poor—very poor. ^ Deeply has stm suffered. The president can prevent her suf fering more. .Julies Caesar is more celebrated ia history for clemency, than for bis victories, though tbe testimony of two thousand years ranks him as first on the roll of great captains. * President Johnson can make us one people in every sense—with one heart, one will, one interest 'through generations to cGmo. He can secure immortality on the page of history by closing his ears to the counsels of faneti rism and of revenge, by rising as e powerful ruler to the height demanded by the occasion. Should he take the step indicated in this com munication and which his present course jus-> tides us in hoping—in my opinion he wifi not only thereby mike himself the great character of this century but by such an act of good, ness, the most illustrious of any age. July 4th 1866, Sxkxx. A Negro Philosopher We heard a good story- told on a “colored gentlemen” of our acqsaintance, who iff by no means destitute of commeh sense.

Where now are the in Dyes f of wbat value are their lands f .1 trust in God that the extortioners and thieves which tbe war produced will not be penhittod by the president to enjoy their ill gotten fortunes. ’Twos madness which precipitated the South ern States into war. But it was a holy tense of deity when Georgia seceded, which mode thousands of her boob, who had opposed that step with ability and tiruauesi until it was to ken—to link their destiny with hers for weal or woe. They obeyed her commend^ittered in most imposing form. Are sach iSp trai tors ? Can they f>f* moment be so csqfoder- ed in the judgment of men who examimsnd understand the struetcre of our systemMrif Federal and Stats Governments ? When Georgia commanded whet were her citizens obedient to low and duty to do ?— Were they to disobey or resist her expressed will f To have don£the one or the other sub- jected'them to the severest punishment under her lawn. What a perilous dilemma was presented for our choice ? Said the general government, “ If you obey theordicanci of secession you commit treism agarast tbe Union ” “If,” said Georgia, “you do npt obey my ordinance as a sovereign State, you commit treason against my authority— you owe allegiance only to your Stato. Take your place in the rank*, I command you. to repel with arms'any attack made on you at the peril tf your lives, (your liberties and prop erty” Act as we might, the penalty was death ! Can there be treason in obeying a government whoha$p>wer and doth actually enforce its commands ? I cannot think there is. Dread ful would be the anarchy which, must ensue— if every citizen must first bo assured before he sots that it is * government de-jure. But Georgia was a government de-jureand having assisted in organizing the Conteffigrtte Govern ment, evidently a do-faclo government and commanded her citizens to obey it, how were they to avoid the deiemma to which thjy were eabjosted ? This being s fair state of the cose, is there any mode to noire this difficult problem jbui by an amnesty whisfr will shield all men except assassins and wWchea who have violated wan tonly the law* of war and humanity. 8uch men are the enemies of their toco and the agents of the Devil and should find neither grace on earth or in Heaven. ' The South wee conscientious in her belief in. her right to sooede. She founds her faith in the declaration of Independence of 1776 The South poyet would have seceded, but in Sam, you are iOW about 76 years old, and you have- had .bout fifty wives to my knowledge, and I think you bate had experience enougffib* that line, ahd I don’t eee.what you want an other.
