WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10.
* Fok PRESIDENT,
_» YOR VICE PRESIDENT.
ANDREW JOHNSON.
How We Progkess.—‘The world
So does the human mind. Its progress is
appreciable to the commonest observer. One
has but to look back at the views enter.
tained by a majority’ of the American people when this war began, remember the positions taken upon every possible issue, and
comparé thé present with the past, to see
in bold relief the superiority of the present
in oll that relates.to freedom and morality.
We have progressed.beyond any:known pres
cedent. It was but two yeors ago that ever:
here the idea of takings rebel’s property
«~ fromhim, even inanimaté property; was
scouted as fanatical and designed to widen
the breach between the North and the
South. To take slaves from’ their masters,
we were told, was still worse. That must
never be done if we would save the Union.
Such’ was the promulgation of pretended
Union men only two years ago. And it}
was but three years ago that the suber
Senatér—from California declaréd himself
the champion of free speech for rebels. He
said in his Folsom speech that he did not
care what the secessionists said. Let them
have the largest liberty in speaking and publishing, -he-said.—-That he sustains the wilitary arrests of the present day, arrests made
for ‘shooting uff the mouths” of secessions
ists. is pretty good evidence that he does
not stand on his old platform, but has made
an advance as the heeds of the public goodrequired. In fact we know that he must
have made extraordinary strides in 4 for»
ward direction, for in that same Folsom
speech he pronounced it folly to think of
restoring the Union without giving to the
Southern States all their old rights, and
particularly the right of choosing the institutions under which they should live, whether thetr judgment in the miatter be right or
wrong. Other sentiments advanced on the
same oecasion show conclusively that’ Jobo
~ Conness, in August 1861, believed that the
war power of the Guvernment had no right
to attempt the extinguishment of slavery,
and that any such attempt would not only
be unconstitutional but futile.
As ho now sustains the advance principles
of the time on great’ national questions is
evidence enough that a great radical change
hae taken place in his mind. The doctrine
of popalar sovereignty which he then main»
tained as necessary to the Government is
discarded, fur at this day the policy of all
the advance minds in the Republic is never
to allow any State to establish slavery again,
The differeuce between our two Senators
is most distinctly marked. One has kept .
pace with the march of intellect, while the
®ther has been'as stationary as the Chinese
of & thousand years. McDougal pretends
to adbere to his pledges made four years
ago. He takes the requirements of the past
age as his touch stone, and never rises to the
comprehension of the logit of events. Thus
he is an unfit representative of & progressive
people.
While on thie subject we may add that in
_ the recently published debate between the
two Senators, Conness was hot correct when
he said, had he known what McDougal's
opinions were going to be upon -certain
questions he would vever have voted for him
for U. 8. Senator. We think it can be well
established that John Conness held the same
opinions upon all those mensures deemed
ultra three years ago, that McDougal did.
But itis a singular fact that all minds are apt
soon after accepting a new truth to contirm
themselves in the belief ‘that they always
entertained it, and to this singular quality is
to’ be attributed the statements of Conness
regarding the opinions of bis colleague. .

INFORMATIVN WanvED.—Mr. K. O°
Connor, of Pottsville, Pa., writes to learn
© the whereabouts of his aon, Denuis O'Con‘s ‘now. "The father appears to be in great dis“tress about his lost son, who has not been
heard from in three years. es

Hakper's Ferry, to oppose the Febel invading fotce. The number
detatched for that purpose is 90,000. Grant
is still confident of taking Richmond.
The rebels have invaded Hagerstown, Md.,
whieh place they still hold. Their foraging
parties are said to act with great brutality.
Grant is taking effectual medsures to
drive the rebels from the Cumberlond Vals
Tey.
Admiral Farrigut telegraphs that he is all
ready for an attack on Mobilé and is waiting
for the land troops to get into position.
The Union officers
Charleston have been exchanged, ,
ing organized to repel any serious invasion
into Maryland or Pennsylvania.
The rebels exploded a mine under one of
our works, but little damage was done however.
Sheridan has been assigned to the con
mand of the Upper Potomac.
. Both armies are engaged in strengthening
their works.
CE
THE Presipent on Tit Reconstavce
TION BiLu.—The President received the
Act of Congress providing for a plan for the
restoration of States to the Union less than
an hour before Congress adjourned, He
did not have time to veto of approve it, and
so on the 8th of Jaly issued a proclamation
_in_which, after reciting the foregoing facts, +
he says the Cungressictal plav is proper to
lny before the people as an expression of the
sense of that body, and adds:
Now, thetefore, I, Abraham Lincoln,
President of the United States, do proclaim
declare and muke known, that, while I aw
(as I was in December last, when, by proce
lamation E propounded a pian for restoration)
unprepare by & formal approval of this bill,
to 3 inflexibly committed toany single plan
of restoration; and, while I am also unpre~
pared to declare that the free State Constitutions and Governments ulready adopted
and installed in Arkansas and Louisiana ghall
be set aside and held for nought, thereby
repelling and ‘discouraging the loyal citizens
effort, or to declare a Constitutional compe
tency in Congress toubolish slavery in States
but am the same time sincerely boping and
expecting that a constitutional amendment
abolishing slavery throughout the nation may
» adopted, nevertheless I am tully satisfied
with the system for restoration contained in
the bill as one very proper plan for the loyal
people of any State choosing to adopt it, and
that [ am, and at all times shall be, prepared
to give the executive aid and assistance to
any such people, as soon as the military res
sistance tu the United States shall have been
suppreased in any such State, and the peos
ple thereof shall have sufficiently returned
to theit obedience to the Constitution and
laws of the United States, in which cases
Military Governors will be appointed, with
directions to proceed according to the bill.

ON Saturday the second vessel of. the first
fleet of our wen-of-war built for the Unis
ted States Navy, was launched ‘at Jersey
City, in & most successful manner. She 8
called the Mohongo, and is a fac simile of
seven ships recently ordered ‘by the Navy
Department. Before the construction of
the fleet was determined on, the Govern»
ment wisely tried the value of the projected
orait, by building the Wateree, which has
Just arrived on the Pacific, whither she has
been sent to reinforce our squadron there,
Her trial trip, and, indeed, her completion,
demonstrated the propriety of the course
partially resolved upon. The fleet-of which
the Mohongo is the first afloat, consists of
the following vessels: The Mohongo, built
at Jersey City. The Monocsy, built at Baltimorey The Muscooto, built at Boston.
The Shamokin, built at Chester. The Su.
wanee, built at New York. The Winefee,
built at Boston; each 1,030 tons burthen,
and carrying 10 guns. The dimensions of
the Mohongo are: length, 240 feet; width,
35 feet. After the launch, the ship was
tewed to the machine shop, where her ens
gines are in course of preparation, The
entire fleet will probably be completed by
the lst of September.—N. Y. Herald.
