Situation in ALABAMA.-There:*re already three political parties in the United States. The old rampant, run-mad, pro slavery. sore-headed Democracy; the ex treme, fanatical, purblind, impracticable, canting. Iiyproeritical Radicals; and the Impartial Suffrage and Amnesty partj\ Hie first want no Union without “Demo- »r.»ey” and perhaps slavery also. The second want none wherein r. white man may live ami maintain his self respect- The third, want a Union wherein all men uny have nn equal chance before the laws; where all have the opportunity’ of better ing their condition, without the means of degrading any. The first would ruin where they can no longer rule. The second would organize Ilaytl. .-t. Domingo or Perdition in the Southern Stated for the sake of the -polls. The third would have the Union restored, not “as it was.” but as Justice, anil the altered condition of society, demands. Tlie defeat of Reconstruction in Ala bama was the result of the combined ef forts of the two first named parties. The Democrats were, of courec. expected to oppose any scheme of Reconstruction which did not place the State in their bands. The Radicals, equally proscrip tive, nought to foist upon the pe» pie a Con- ? icution which aimed to perpetuate power in the hands of an ignornt cabal. The « on«equence was, that not only Democrats, blit Rcpubli ..ns who still stand pledged to Reconstruction under the Sherman bill, voted against it. Had the Constitution l*een liberal and just—disfranchising none not disfranchised by the Constitutional Amendment—and had it been a charter of Rights commensurate with the necessities and convenience of the whole people, instead ol a sort of political platform, it would have received the support of the masses, and been ratified by an overwhelming ma jority. As it is. the work h to be done over again. Doubtful.—It is stated by an Alabama paper, that Jeff. Davis is very much op posed to reconstruction under the laws of Congress, and that he proposes taking the stump in Mississippi against the new Con stitution of Mississippi.
