Neither of the correspondents of the Tribune has ever made any complaint, privately or publicly, of his long captivity; and I should be deeplj m.ortified to suppose that any one would think that, after we have escaped, we were so lacking in good sense and hu manity as to maunder or make accusations against an officer of the Government from mere personal feeling, when tens of thou- . sands of captives were perishing by syste matic cruelty in the rebel prisons of the South.

If there is anything that can be done on my part, on correct princi ples of the Constitution to promote these ends, be assured it shall be done. Let me assure }ou also that there is no disposition on the part of the Government to deal harshly with the Southern people. There may be speeches published from various quarteis that may breathe a differ ent spirit, but do not let them trouble or excite j^ou, but believe it is the great ob ject of the Government to make the Union of these United States more complete and perfect than ever, and maintain it on con stitutional principles-!— if possible more firmly than it has ever before been. Then why can’t we all come up to the work-in a proper spirit ? In other words, let us look to the Constitution. The issue has been made and decided. Then as wise men—men who see right and are de termined to follow it,as fathers and broth ers, and as men who love their country m the hour of her trial and suffering—why can’t we come up and help to settle tbe questions of the hour, and adjust them ac cording to the principles of honor and jus tice. The institution of slavery is gone. The former status of th’e negro had to be charged, and we as wise men, must recog nize so potent a fact and adapt ourselves to circumstances as they surround us.— (Voices—“We are willing to do so. Yes, sir, we are willing to do so !”) 1 believe you are, or believe when your faith is pledged, when your consent has been given, as I have already said, l be lieve it will be maintained in good faith, and every promise fully sustained. (Crie6 of “If will.”) What I ask or desire of the South, of the North, or the East or the West, is to be sustained in carrying out the principles of the Constitution. It is not to be denied that we have been great sufferers on both sides; good men have fallen, and much misery is being endured —a necessary result of such a contest. # * * * Then why can’t we ap- proach each other on principles which are right in themselves, and which will be pro ductive of good to all ? The day is not distant w.hen we shall feel like the same family that has had end less feuds, the various members of which have come together and compared the evils and sufferings they bad inflicted on each other; they bad seen the influence of their error and its result, and, governed by a spirit of coneiUat$oa, they ba4 be* um iu Baris.

Lee. when accepting the Presi dency of the Militaiy Institute at Lexing- j ton, Virginia, recently tendered to him says the Louisville Journal very properly embraced the occasion for expressing his views as to the present duties of Southern men to the country.— “It is,” said he, the “duty of every citi zen, in the present condition of (he conn- i try, to do all in his power to aid in the j restoration of peace and harmony, and in no way to oppose the policy of the State j and General Governments directed to that object;” and, then, referring to the new manner proposed in his North Carolina !
