ntvit.'o HWvnilUWi, i viifliu 41UIU C?*J'?C2K>IUJ( WH UpilllUIJ that the true policy of restoring the country lo bonu* ot brothenjuiod -and union again, hns been ignored-ind abandoned by the government, 'and we road now' no ambiguous meaning i? tho reported assertion of'tbo President. The way to re&one tho union is by 'teaching us to forget and forgive the injuries and sufferings heaped upon us?by .endeavoring to teach us that we were wrong in tho beginning, aj?d in punishing us oiir late enemies do not intend t? insult as well as to injure. Mildness and gentle and humane measures would con concilura, - cilura, concilura, wlice uitierucss and cruel grinding laws will oti'j breed ail uncompromising spirit of reroiige and etcrnnl hatred.

Aud it there is to be unoconfiuuui intcrcossive war between us?war iu^tlic heart, if not in the hand?the career of glory -"atrd greatness for the country "is forever art-an entt" To accomplish the restoration of tho union, t.t.d fatel and truth, the Federal government will lmve to abolish the confiscation laws, and modify the idea of ircti>on that is held at the North by immy. Human reason^ knows-that the South in tho terrible and desolating * sccnt-saud trials through which she has passed for the last year or so, has had ample punishment for the

awiraoie ant*-social reunions wim me iMonneeu people again. But they expect tho clemency of the Northern pe<-plo first, in tho nets And^ faith ef the government over which they now hate control. We believe further that it the far-reacbiDg sugacity of the old general Siiebman that prompted him, in tho hour of Johnston's surrender to offer geSerous and favorable terms to his enemies. SuEltiiAA' well knew i||e true policy of restoring the union; but to his and onr own regret and'eorrow, his people and his government at tho time differed with him, and the countryds dew beginning to feel the civil idea of subjugation. There aregeoorally two ways of doing a thing. A child may be taught obedience arid fidelity by mildness awl lorcws well as by tile lOd and stripes.
