Wc catch a glimpse now and then, on the street, of several other officers, who prosperity as a political organization has always depended, and does now depend, ou the amount of exasperation and ill- blood which they can keep up between the sections. They know and they ex- that P rcssl >’ a J»‘i ttbat rite entire harmony and uuion of the States, no matter on what terms it might be accomplished, would meet any calamity rather than face the horrors of perfect peace, Decause in time of perfect peace they could not exist as a party any more than the functions of animal life could go on under an exhaust ed receiver. They arc, therefore, very sincere and devout when they pray God that the Union may not be restored, and now, since slavery is abolished, they are as industrious as ever in finding •ether causes of quarrel. They propose to bold the Southern States in absolute bondage They would not govern them at all, for government implies law of some kind. The Southern people are to he disposed of without the slightest reference to the Constitution, or to any law, State or national. They must have no voice in the regulation of their Federal duties or in the administra tion of their local attars. When they laid down their arms, it is to be deemed and taken that they submitted not to the Government of the United States that is, to the Constitution and laws—but to the mere will of the dominant party in the North. They shall have no representa tion in Congress, and no vote for Presi dent. They are not only to be denied all political privileges, but their natural right to life and property, which the Declara tion of Independence declares to be' in alienable, will also be taken from them With regard to life, Mr. Stevens says he has not yet made up his mind how many its aff. ctionate t0W:irJ thc cncil, - v 5ncrca ' c<1 ,n . ,nU>nsU ' V ’ ward the bed, iu the dark, the parlisa held the rank of Brigadier or Major Gen his chamber without j n ^] 1C ] a * c Confederate Army, who are , are to die, but when he does come to a ceronsenv, and found him reposing in all i, ;in ] a t work nowat one or another branch '< conclusion on that subject we may expect the dignity and gravity of a Brigadier 0 f business.

When you recollect by whom and how this proposition is made, it becomes a melanuholly evidence of the extent to which a people can be demoral ized by civil war. It is advocated in pub lic by men who are seeking the favor of thc people, and paraded as a fundamental article in the creed of a political party.— No doubt they think they can gain a pop ularity and win votes by it. If they do, they must believe the public iBorals*"to be tiioroughly debauched. This comes of making a saint out of John Brown. President Johnson, in a speech which he made in 1860, said in substance (l do not propose to give his words) that the character of a people might be learned from the gods they adored; The Abolitionists worshiped a thief, and the worshipers would, of neces sity, be the imitators of his moral quali ties. They have got on more rapidly thaD thc President thought they would.— Brown concealed his designs or cautiously whispered them into the ear of his accom plices; but his present disciples unhesi tatingly avow their intention to imitate him on a. scale so grand that his thefts seem mere petty larceny by comparison The legal theory on which their scheme is based, is as absurdly false as thc scheme itself is indecent aud shameless. They do not stupify themselves by assertin that they find any warrant for it in the Constitution. Nor do they get it in the war power ; for that power, according to their own loose definition of it, is ground ed by military necessity, and m ist cease of course when the war ceases. But they allege that the Southern States went le gally out of the Union, have been out ever since, and are out now, and must stay out notwithstanding all chat was expended in trying to keep them in. Theyarecon- qured aliens. The attitude of the North ern and Southern States toward one an other is in their view no other than that of two separate countries, between whom there has been a war; thc more powerful having invaded thc weaker and beaten its defenders. Now admit all this to be true, does it follow, as they say it does, that the inhabitants ol the conquered teritory have lost all their rights of private property? May they be plundered after the war is over? No; by the law of nature, by the law of nation.-, by the public law of thc world ; the private property of the con quered people is as sacred as it was be fore ; the laws that protect it arc undis turbed ; and whosoever steals it commits precisely the same crime that he would be guilty of if no war had ever been made. It is thc first duty of the conquering party to provide for the security of this right, and it is tbe universal practice of all civ ilized and Christian countries to do so : you cannot find an example to the con trary without going back to the depths of barbarism. No nation can now make war upon another, subdue it, and after it is disarmed and powerless, deliver the in habitants to be sucked and pillaged, with out bringing upon thc bead of the offen der the execrations of the whole earth. Even in time of open and fragrant war, private property is held to be sacred. One belligerent party may take the pub lic property of tbe other, to cripple the d hardly moved Mr. Stevens says, may be driven into exile, commerce of an enemy ; F'vate property That they may, and robbed into may also be taken as a lawful prize, it An orphan six months old,, found on the high seas.

There are bat two instances in modern history where a government has in time of war deliberately ordered the destruc tion or capture of private property thro’- out a large district; one was the order given by Lourois, the French Minister under Louis XIV., to devastate the Pala tinate; the other was the case of oar — j«own Government, when Gen. Sheridan was directed to make the Valley of the Shenandoah a desert waste. The excuao given for both these acts was that th® governments committing them gained thereby certain military advantages which otherwise they could not have had. I do not believe it will be accepted by either God or man, though it may be Borne palli ation of the horrible cruelty inflicted.— But thc Abolitionists propose to issue their order without a military reason of any kind, in a tiqne ot profound peace, to organize a regular system of pillage over a country nearly as large as all Eu rope. If it were carried out as proposzd the blackest national crime that history has yet recorded would look beside this one like au act of white-robed innocenee. But apart from all moral considerations, what does it promise as a mere matter of policy? Wlfat will we gain by it in money to compensate for tha loss of na tional character ? The amount to bo plundered ia three thousand milliona of dollars. To maintain the necessary num ber of agents and an army large enough to back them would probably cost about one thousand millions per annum. Mr. Stevens does not propose to reduce the public expenses below five hundred mil lions. Even accotding to his own account the sum received will be spent in six years. But the expenses would really be twice as great, and the returns of plunder would be little or nothing. You can easily see how cheating would be done both ways. The property of the Southern people could not be handed over to the Treasury in kind. The lands and horses and fattle and other goods must be sold and convert ed into money or greenbacks. What man is silly anough to believe that this would be honestly done ? Only two day* ago a case came to my knowledge in which plantation in Louisiana had been sold on account of the United States for nine thousend dollars ; it was known to be worth three hundred and fifty thou sand as well as one dollar is worth anoth er. About two and a half per cent, of its value went to the public use and the bal ance into the pockets of the agents that managed the affair. You all know how an Abolition general took sixty thousand dollars in gold and pretended that he had taken it for the United States—but the Treasury never saw a cent of it. That same general is a violent and noisy sup porter of Mr. Steven's plan, and would probably be employed carrying it out.— I could not enumerate, and non# of us can conceive, the ten thousand devices that would bo amployed to put this prop erty into the possession of private parties, without cost to them. Who would bid fur it? Not Southern men; for they are to be impoverished utterly, and even if they could command the means of pur chasing back their own property, they cculd not hold it, for those who took it the first time might take it again. The greedy speculators would flock there like vultures and make themselves a close cor poration. If the agents of the Govern ment were as honest as Arutides they could not get a mark of their wares. But would not the agents send home the watches, jewelry, paintings, pianoe and other portable property without account ing for it ? And would they not be iu partnership with the bidders, and in com bination with one another to reduce the price of everything that was sold? Would not general corruption and dishonesty be the neccessary outgrowth of the principle which lies at the foundation of the whole measure ? When one party employs an other to rob a third onr, how can the agent be expected to understand tbe mor al difference between keeping the proceed# himself and handing them over to hi# principal? There is no difference When the property is onee taken from the true owner, one man has as good right to it au another. _ 1 Of the three thousand milliona which Mr. Stevens proposes to take, nobody hot a simpleton would expect to see five per cent, come into the Treasury. In a single year, an honest and fair equal system of taxation would get twice that amount out of the Southern States, and the goose which lays that golden egg would still be alive. Bat we must give the South the bene fit of a legal government for another reason far more weighty than any consid eration of pecuniary interest. If justice, according to law, be not administered to them, we cannot have it either.
