Memfhis, Tenn., June 24, 1865.
Sir—I respectfully ask a special antpesty,
as a l«UtyjjO the ■ war lately ’fr&uLirainst
the United States.
For me, it was a war in behalf of the navy
eteigtrty and rights of the States. I was satis
fied as to the right of secession, as an ex
treme remedy, fit to be used only in the last
resort, !’jk& when all others should hare
failed. A did not think Its exerdse either
wise or necessary in 1861. I consented to

Hina political courses.
I accept,’ without reservation, that con
struction of the Constitution against which I
contended. The war has but done a little
sooner that which the irresistible influences
of time were effecting. Power is as legiti
mate a source of government a9 contract.
For the future, the Stales compose one na
tion, and the Constitution of its Government
is enacted by the will of a majority of the
American people. Voluntarily accepting the
Constitution as thus. expounded, I have
sworn to support it, and I will loyally keep
the oath and bear true- allegiance. I accept
the decision as final, and shali never seek to
disturb it.
Proceedings have been inslUnted to eo|-
fisfcate part of my tnude j estate. 1 atn-tfrirt
ing to lose that. Nothing will then be left
me but my books. These, peculiarly dear to
me, I pray the fresideut lo excuse from con
fiscation. I need not tell him hou- dear the
books of a scholar are to him, nor why.
As I am unable to prefer any other special
claim to clemency, the President’s generosi
ty may permit me respectfully to remind
him, not in behalf of mysdf ajone, that it
was the general' amne6ty proposed by the
Tribune florins, in favor of all who had
taken part in the civil wars, after the death
of Sylla, that did most to cicatrize the
wounds of Rome; and that the Emperor Na
poleon speaks in terms of commendation of
•‘those practices of civilized nations, which
teach them to honor their adversaries, 16
spare the conquered, and not to permit an
ger to survive strife;" and also to repeat
these prophetic, words of Caesar, that “we
forget the faults of the greatest criminals, to
remember only their punishment, if it has
been too severe."
The late war was more owing to the dead
of the past, who are honored, than to the
living of the present who are execrated;
more to Jefferson and Madison than to Davis
and Hunter; more to the Kentucky and
Virginia resolutions, than to the arguments
of I860. “Civil commotions have long coots
iii the past,” and their trie authots have
often been long beyond the reach of human
vengeance, while those whom hatred seeks
to immolate, have been but the bondmen of
necessity, the blind instruments of Fate.
Why, should the scaffold crave the blood of
the living, who only obeyed the dead?
I respectfully submit that it is not just to
regard as rebellion and treason what had
been claimed by States and parties for seventy
years as the lawful exercise of a political right
by a State ; and that it would be a grave mis
take to make even one name and memory a
watchword and beacon for all coming time.
It would be to orente “that impassable bar
rier, which always separates, after blood is so
shed, the children of the same country.”
If convicted and sentenced, nong/uow ac
cused will feel, nor will the people of the
South believe, that they have been guilty of
treason. Neither defeat or condemnation
changes convictions. They will not seem to
have been criminals, but only to have atoned
with their lives for the sin of failure in the
assertion of rights claimed, even if Unreal,-
by many States, and by a great political
party, since the beginning of the govern
ment. •

actions.” Bloodshed after victory and In

We begin ta think that cotton is a sqisanee
and ought to be abated. It has brough^ps
fo|o a world of trouble, the end of which we
ft%ve na$ yet seen. If we had not been ur

ivebeen permitted to have seceded peacea-

should not have had Union Generals libe
rating slaves with one hand and stealing Ihe
products of their labor with the other. Nor
would we new have had a Radiaathonsnjxary
strwing through tariffs and all kinds of plun

in proportion as they hypocritically profess

eyes of Our ppople aa to the means by which

sonic advantages in being poor, and if some

has just adjourned, exhibited. - -v
Let ns try very little cotton crops for a
year or two. We are confident it will have
a very wholesome influence in national poli

experiment. We have very urgent need for
breadstuffs, and we hold that H is more ne

in regard to this distinguished gentleman
now in Europe, we give the following from
the Pani Correspondent of a NeW Orleans
pqpgr:
Gen. Beauregard has returned to Paris;
but, inn few days,.he goes to Vichey, for the
benefit of the waters. While here, the illus
trious Confederate has been the object of a
sympathizing and very flattering curiosity.
There are few emiuent persons, especially
among those belonging to the army, or con-
uected with the Government, who have not
sought the honor of seeing and entertaining
him. The Emperor has invited him to visit
the.camp of Chalons, and Gen. Fave, gover
nor of the B<Jy tachnic school, has volunteered
to guide IrikiJ thioogh all the military estab
lishments of the capital. Gen. Beauregard is
astonished by all that he sees here. At Ver
sailles, the battle pictures, by the great
French masters, made a profound impression
on him. Before some of them he remained
more than half an hour in silent contempla
tion. The things which most interested
him, however, were the artillery museum
and "the curious collection at the Hotel des
Inv&lides of plans, in relief, of the fortified
places of the world. The General has. like
wise received from a Government, which I
am not permitted to name, an extremely
brilliaat offer, which, however, he has de-
cRneOr * He was offered the chief command
of an army of 80,000 men, a salary of 100,000
francs per annum, and a donation of lands
worth a million of dollars, with the “grand i
naturalization” of himself and his family.
The General declined, saying that his sword
belonged to his country, and he would never
drew it except for her. There is one ques
tion Which is asked him almost every mo
ment—“in case there should be war between
a European power and the United States
would the South revolt?” The General
always replies that he thinks not, and this commerce,
answer invariably seems to cause astonish
ment—why, indeed, I cannot say.

allies, the Coppeijohn^ihs/aft at their old
habit of wallowing -in the mire and eating
dirt in the presence 1 of their Srfnfhern mas

The correspondent pf the Boston Advertiser,
“Dixon,” gives us an instance of this as.fol
lows: •' - • - ” ‘
As showing the wholesale manfier ill which
dirt is being eaten at the shrine of Southern
chivalry, it may be worth mentioning that
the Iowa * delegation rinds' -a formal
call upon Rousseau this . morning, and
complimented him on his treatment of
Grinnell; extended to him their individual
and collective congratulations, and invited
him to visit tbefr State; ’ Mteuring him of

the President and present to him an authen

formed that duty on the 18th inst. We pub
lished a few days since a full telegraphic re
port of the address of the President on that
Occasion.
A Washington paper, describing the
scene, says:
The presence of so many members of the
Cabinet was a voluntary tribute on their part
to the patriotism of the Convention. No in
vitations had been sent to them to attend.
The absence of Secretary of War Stanton
was the subject of general remark, \jut it was
amply compensated for by the voluntary
■ ou presence of General Grant, who stood beside,
the President throughout the whole proceed
ing. The lively interest he manifested, and
the genial smile With wbieh -he gate ted each
of the comntttoe and the delegates, attest
his complete sympathy with the National,
Union party, his approval of its purposes,)
and his accord with the policy enunciated by
the President • “ '
