Connecticut, Kentucky, California and Maine four Radical States have all lately given proof that they have thrown off the Radical Yoke' and de termined henceforth to bo free: The day of giacoof the Radical revolution ists is drawing to a close, and already, the New York Express and other Northern papers tell us that the Rad ical office seekers are abandoning the cause and seeking refuge in the Con servative ranks. They wilfsoon swear that they never were Radicals, just like some of their Southern apostolic proselytes are preparing to do. After doing all the rascality in their power, they sneak into the conservative ranks, when frightened ly approaching jus tice, and bray louder than honest men against the Radicals - The names of their leaders, everywhere, should be kept before the public for remember ance.

This splendid document was crow ded out of our last issue on account of its length, but it has lost none of its interest and we take pleasure in laying it before our readers to day. It will be remembered that the cabinet inter preted this proclamation as hiving the effect, to restore the right of suffrage as well as all other priviliges of citi zens. AMNESTY PROCLAMATION. Washington, Rept. 8 —The follow ing Proclamation was issued this morn ing : A Proclamation. By the President of the. United States of America. Whereas, In the month of July, A. D., 1801, the two houses of Con gress, with extraordinary unanimity, solemnly declared that the war then existing was not waged on the part of the government in any spirit of op pression, nor for any purposo of con quest or subjugation, nor for the pur pose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established iiißtitu l lions of tho States, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constii tut ion and to preserve tho Union with all the dignity, equality and rights of the several States unimpaired, and that as soon as these objects should bo accomplished, the war ought to cease : And, whereas, the President of tho United States, on the eighth dav of December, A. D., 1863, and on the twenty-sixth day of March, A 1). 1864, did with the objects of suppress ing the existing rebellion, and of in ducing all persons to return to their loyalty, and of restoring the authority of the United States, issue a procla mation offering amnesty and pardon to all persons who had directly or indi rectly participated in the then existing rebellion, except ns in those proclama tions was specified and reserved : And whereas, the President of tho United States did, on tho 29th day of May, A. D-, 1865, issue a further proolama. tion, with the same objoets before mentioned, and to the end that tho authority of the government of tho United States might be restored, and that peace and order and freedom might be ostabl shed : and the Prcsi*> dent did by the said last proc'unntion proclaim and declare that ho thereby granted to all persons who had di rectly or indirectly participated in tho then existing rebellion, except as therein aoc?ptcd, amnesty and pardon, with the restoration of all rights of property, except as to slaves, and ex cept in certain cases where legal pro ceedings had been instituted, but upon one condition, that all such persons should tnko and subscribe an oath therein prescribed, which oath should bo registered for permanent pieservn tion : And whereas, in and by tl e said last mentioned proclamation of the 29th of May, A. lb, 1865, fourteen extensive classes of persons, therein specially described, were altogether excepted and excluded from the ben. efits thereof: And whereas, the Pre. Bident of tho United States did, on tho 2d day of April, A, lb. 1860, issue a proclamation declaring that the insur rection was at an end, and was thence forth to be so regarded ; And whereas, there now exists no organized armed resistance, of misguided citizens or others, to the authority of file United States, tu the States of Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Ar* kansas, Mississippi, Florida and Texas, and the laws can be sustained and en forced therein by the proper civil au thority, State or Federal, and the peo ple of said States arc well and loyally disposed, and have conformed, or if permitted to do so will conform, in their legislation, to the condition of allairs growing out of the amendment, to the Constitution of the U. States, prohibiting slavery within tho limit at.d jurisdict'on of the United States: And whereas, there no longer exists any reasonable ground to apprehend within the States which were involved in the late rebellion, any renewal thereof, or any unlawful resistance by the people of said States to the Con stitution and laws of the U. Slhtes: And whereas, large standing armies, military occupation, martial law, mili tary tribunals, and the suspension of the privilege*of the writ of habeas corpus, and the right of trial by jury, are, in time of peace, dangerous to public liberty, incompatible with the individual rights of the citizen, con. trary to the genius of the national re sources, »nd ought not, therefore, to be sanctioned or allowed, except in eases of actual necessity for repelling invasions, or suppressing insurrection or rebellion; And whereas, a retalia tion or vindictive policy, attended by unnecessary disqualifications, pains, penalties, confiscation and disfranchise ment, now as always, could only tend to hinder reconciliation among the people arid national restoration, while it must sariou-ly embarrass, obstruct, and repress the popular energies and national industry and enterprise-: And whereas, for these reasons, it is now deemed essential to tho public welfare and to the more perfect restoration of Constitutional law and order, that the said last mentioned proclamation, so as aforesaid issued on the 29th of May, ,A. D , 1865, should be modified, and that the fell and beneficient pardon conceded thereby, should be opened and further exteuded to a large num ber of the persons who, by its afore said exceptions, have been hitherto excluded from executive clemency. Now, therefore, be it known that I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States do hereby proclaim and declare that the full pardon described in tbe said proclamation of the 29th day of May, A. D. 18G5, shall hence forth be opened and extended to all persons who directly or indirectly participated in the late rebellion, with the restoration of all privileges, immu nities and rights of property, except as to property with regard to slavery, and except in cases of legal proceed, ings under tho laws of the United States, but upon this condition, never theless, that every such person, who shall seek to avail hitnsell ot this pro clamation, shall take and subscribe tho following oath, and shall cause the same to be registered for permanent preservation in the same manner and with the same effect as with the oath prescribed in the said proclamation of tho 29th day of May, 1865, namely; I do solemnly swear or affirm, in presence of Almighty God, that I will henceforth laithlully support, pro tect and djferid the Constitution of the United States and the union of the States thereunder, and that 1 will in like inatiacr abide by and faithful, ly support all laws and proclamations which have been made during tho late rebellion with reference to tho emancipation of sla.-es. So help me God. The following persons and no others arc excluded from the benefits of this proclamation, and of the said procla mation of tho 29th day of May, 1865, namely : First—The chief or pretended chief executivo officers, including the Pros, idend, tho Vico President and all heads of departments of the pretended Confederate or rebel Government, and all who were agents thereof in foreign States and countries, and all who held or pretended to hold, in the servioo of the said pretended Confederate Gov ernment, a military rank or titlo above the grade of Brigadier General, or naval rank or title above that of Cap tain, and all who were or pretended to be Governors ol States while main taining, abetting or submitting to and acquiescing in the rebellion. Second- -All persons who in any way treated otherwise than ns priso ners of war, persons wl o in any ca pacity wore employed or engaged in the military or naval service of the United States. Third —All persons who, at the time they may seek to obtain the ben efits of this proclamation, aro actually in civil, military or naval confinement or custody, or legally held to bail ei ther before or after conviction and all persons who were engaged, directly or indirectly, in tho assassination of tho late President of the United States, or in any plot or conspiracy, in any man ner therewith connected.

To the Prisoners of War and of Arbitrary Arrests in the United States of America. At the late session of the Congress of the United States, that body passed a resolution, on July 10th, 1867, ap pointing certain parties as a committee to investegate “ The Treatment of Prisoners of War and Union Citizens held by the Confederate Authorities during the late Rebellion,” at the same time refusing to extend tbe investiga tion to the prisoners of war, victims of arbitrary power, and military usurpa tion by the authority of the Federal administration. The partial, vindic tive and wicked purpose of the Con gress to prevent, distort, and suborn tho truth of history, has made it the duty of every American citizen to look to the honor of his country and the preservation of the truth of history. We all rnightwell imitate the exam ple of the better son of Noah, and walk backwards, and throw the mantle of oblivion upon the nakedness of our diunkcn parent, and forget all of the past; but since a partial and false representation of our public affairs is to bo made by members of Congress for the unholy and fiendish purpose of perpetuating sectional bitterness, and prolonging the unchristian and unnat. ural strife of a ruined people, that justice may be done to every man and the truth of history may be vindicated, I hereby most respectfully request that all persons in possession of impor tant information in regard to any of these subjects, as well as the city bur ningg, plantation devastations, the murders, rapes and robberies, perpet u ited under official sanction, either civil or military, of tbe Federal au thority, are earnestly requested to ad dress the undeisigned stating in pre. cise, simple and unexagerated terms, a full statement of all the facts known to the writer touching his own imprisonment, or treatment of others, either soldiers or citizens, giving, as far as possible, names, places and dates, with names of Federal officers in oharge, and those instigating those crimes. The groat body of tho offioers and soldiers in both armies were manifest ly honest in purpose in the prosneu tion of their terrible worbof death.— The'history of wars demonstrates that the vilest wen have charge of prisons. A history of the cruelty to prisoners on both sides in the late war, is one which will “ make hell ashamed and turn the cheek of darkness pale,” and be, for our own history’s sake, forgot ten ; but if told, it must be truly told, that each party may be shamed into silence by their crime. Not having the people’s money to waste in postage to kindle the fire of revenge, I will trust to the kindness of tho sufferers) to transmit to me, by mail, all com. tnunicutions upon this subject at their earliest convenience. I am, very respectfully, your obe dient servant. Henry Clay Dean, Mount l’leasant, lowa. Tho Mystery of Editing. The world at large do not under stand tho mysteries of a newspaper; and, as in a watch, tho hands, that are seen, are but the passive instru ment of the spring which is never seen, so, in a newspaper the most wor thy causes or its prosperity arc often least observed or known. Who sus pects the benefit which a poper de rives from the vigilance and the watch ful fidelity of the publisher ? Who pauses to think how much of the pleasure of reading is derived from tho skill and care of the printer? We feel tho blemishes of the printer. We feel tho blemishes of printing, if they exist, but seldom observe tho excel lencies. We cat a hearty dinner, but do not think of tho farmer that raised tbe material thereof, or the cook that pre pared them with infinite pains and skill. But a cook of vegetables, meats, pastries and infinite bon-bons, has a paradisical office in comparison with an editor 1 Boforo him pass in review all the cxchapgo newspapers. He is to know all their contents, to mark for other eyes, tho matter that requires attention. His scissors are to be alert, and clip with incessant in dustry all tho little items that togeth er make up tho news department.— Ho passes in review, each woek, every State in the union, through the news paper lons ho looks across the ocean and sees strange lands, and following the sun, he searches all around the world for material. It will require but one second’s time for the readers to tako ia what two hours research produced. By him arc road tho man uscripts that swarm tho office like flies in July. It is his frown that dooms them. It is his hand that con denses a whole page into a lioe. It is his discreet sternness that restricts sentimental obituaries, that gives young poets a twig on which to sit and sing their first lays. And tho power behind the throne, in newspapers as in higher places, is sometimes as important as the throne itself. Correspondents, occasional or regular, stand in awe at that silent power which has the last chance at an artiolo, and may send it forth in glory or humanity. And, in short, as the body depends upon a good digestion, so the health of a paper depends upon that vigorous digestion whiob goes on by means of the editor. Ought they not to bo honored ? And since little fame attends them, they should at least have their crea ture comforts multiplied. From that dark and dismal den in which they have so long had purgatorial residence, they are at length translated.— U. Ward Beecher. It was a happy phrase of somebody to call the writings of the brothers Bulwar the Bidxcorks of British lite rature. the President Resign. 'inu New York Herald says, edito rially : “To make the people feel the full •import of that which rests so heavily upon them, Andrew Johnson should resign and appeal to them. Let him resign and demand that a convention of all the States bo called to take mea sures against this political ruin that Congress is hurling against the Re public. Let him tell the people that he finds it impossible to resist entirely this attempt of Congress to assume dic tatorial power ani inaugurate new re volution. Let him show to them tho political picture as it exists—com merce wrecked, the Treasury Depart* meat in ruins, tho revenue adminis tered for the benefit of those who hold the offices, the wealth of the nation squandered, an exhaustive Indian war on hand for the benefit of agents and contractors, half the States under mili tary dictatorship, the other half threat ened with similar government, cor ruption everywhere, vice making a throne of virtue, and tho country driv ing madly through the same political phases that preoeded the French Re volution.” Another Witness Come to Judgment. —The notorious “Colorado Jewett,” who has long been hobnobbing with the Radicals, has returned to Washing ton and throatens to open his budget of secrets against them. The correspon dent of the Boston Post writes: The notorious W. Cornell Jewett is here. He says he is willing to turn State’s evidence against Charles Sum ner aud other Radicals, and prove their treasonable designs. He fut* nishes tho key to the change in tbe New York Tribune from General Amnesty and Free Suffrage to Radi calism and Revolution. It was through him Mr. Sumner contracted with Mr. Greeley that if the latter would stay his advocacy of a General Amnesty until the Radical party had broken down the President and secured com plete control of the South through the military power, then they would favor General Amnesty, a return of the Southern States, and a restoration of the Constitution. Mr. Jewett says that they have now broken faith and are benton subverting tho Government destroying the Constitution, and dis franchising the whole of the Southern States. Every body knows what Jewett is in politics, but he has certainly been deep in Radical secrets, has been in timate with both Sunnier and Greeley and has been used by them and other Rudical lights in the prosecution of their schemes. Ilia evidence will be interesting in this view. The. Pardon Proclamation. —The National Intelligencer of yesterday, after repeating that the amnesty pro clamation will have the legal effect of relieving tho subjects of it from “ all disqualifications,’’ admits that such will not be the effect in fact. We quote: “It places tho great mass of tho Southern people in an sttitudo to as sert and maintain their rights and privileges, and if, when finally passed upon by the Supreme Court, obstruc tions are still interposed by unauthor ized agencies, military or otherwise revolutionary, it will again becomo the duty of the Excoutive to interfere and carry into effect, at every hazard, the mandate of the judicial authority. And this, the country may rely upon, will be done to the letter.” It will be seen that tho courts aro now admitted to be instruments ne cessary to be employed before disquali fication cau bo dono away with.
