tremergeyreemrerac cee” sepestuentieren omen a ane nO AR 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 THE Gold Hill News says: that a rock striking Thomas Bean on the head and o uv who have set up the same, as to further ee . dint's/nrasy bove withdrawn from Peters. . 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. io 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.
