Tue TemPce or -Tae Sour. —The
Constitution guarantees to States a Repub.
lican form Of governmiett, and when Stato”
governments are subverted and the rights
of minorities trampled upon by the majorities, it becomes the duty of the Government
te.interfere and see that the rightsof -citi.€ens are respected and the State organization is Republican in character. It cannot
‘be denied that during the late rebellion the
Government was in duty bound to crush
_ the despotism which Davis and his traitor
associates established in the South. Though
~ pretending to establish a Republi, theytrampled upon-the—rightsof property, and}
made the life of the citizen dependent upon
the will of the raler, while freedom of speech,
a right inseparable from Republicanism, has
not'‘for years been kuown in the South.—
These privileges and rights cannot be taken
away without destroying Republican government, and when such attempts are made,
it matters not from what source they come,
the whole power of the Government should
be used to remove the evil. The rebels
not only subverted the goveraments established in their States and established in
their stead. a military-rule, but combined
for the purpose of setting up rulers unknown
to the Constitution, and_in order to carry
out theirinfamous . purpose they made war
upon the nation. — President Lincoln, in.
~ Be obedience to the obligations he had assumed,
accepted the issue and the war. followed.
The military power of the rebel States
has-been broken, and their armies driven
from the field; but the Republican governments guaranteed by the Constitution have
not been restored. Until the Union armies can be withdrawn,-and the late rebel
States are capable of protecting all classes
in the enjoyment of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, there can be. no-such
thing as true Republicanism, and it is the
duty of Congress now in session to see that
the rebel States are brought to this condition befere they are restored to their pesitions in the Union. In their present condi_ tion they “are no more fit for fellowship in.
~/the Union than is China. The lives aad
property of Union men have to be protected
in the South by large~tniom armies, and
whenever these are witldrawn, the work
of assassination commences. In support ef
the statement, we quote’ from a writer iu
the Atlantic, whv spent three months in
Georgia. In many places the Yankee is
driven from the hotels and eating houses,
and-findsno protection from: the vindictive hate of whipped but onrepentant rebels.
The writer says: P
“In Barnwell and Anderson districts,
South Carolina, official records ‘show the
murder of over 4 dozen Union men in the
months of August and September; and at .
Atlanta, a man told me, with a qniet chuc. °
kle, that in Carrol County, Georgia, there
were four d—n Yankees shet in the month
of October. Any Union man, traveling in
either of these States, must expect to hear
many very insulting words, and-any Northern mao 18 sure to find his principles deepised, his people contemned and himself
submitted to much disagreeable contumely.”’
THe spirit of Republicanism cannot exist_with such a condition of things, aud it
is the duty ef Congress to hold the rebel
States under military power until these
evils are removed and they become quilified to take their places with the loyal States
and becomes part of the governing power
in the natiun. But it is not necessary ta
rely upon Northern testimony alone in or
der to show the bad effects which must follow the President's plan of. reconstruction. . .
The temper of the South may also be drawn
from the sayings of her leading men. A
candidate for Congress declared himself in
favor of repudiating the nationakgebt. A .
Confederate officer declared that°téen men
could not be found in the South who would
not repudiate. It would not be safe to permit such men tocome into the National Legislature and intrast them with the management of Government finance. The spirit of
Georgia appears in the language of Mc.
Simmons in the Convention. In speaking
of the rebel debt, he aaid :
“Let us repudiate ei under the lash,
and the application of wilitary power; and
then, as soon as we are an independent sovercignty, restored to our equal rights and
privileges in the Union, let us immediafély
. call another convention and resume’ the
debt.”
A loyal resideat of North Carolina
“The only difference now and one year
writes
/ guaranteed by the Constitution are acceptago ie that.the flag.is i
préme; end there is some fear manifette
aod they have.gn ara The sentiment iq
the same. Jf anything otherwise, more hetred exisfs towards the Government. I
know there is mdre toward Union men, both
black and white.” Re,
Both Convention aod Legislature of MisConvention one of the speakers declared it.
to be policy to accept the present condition
. of affairs until th® control of the State” is
returned into the hands of the people, and
“to submit for a time to evils which cannot
be remedied,” Another speaker in urging .
the acceptance of the Union, thus revealed .
-the‘plet: ‘If we aet-wisely--we-sball be
joined by what-is called the Copperhead
party, and even by many-of the.Black Republicans.” We might quote columns trom
leaders in the South, to show that all the
bitter hate and vindictiveness so prevalent
. during the rebellion still-exists. No foyal
‘man with such evidence, ean defend the
President for attempting to-make-such men
instruments in the work of reconstruction.
The spirit of treason is still abroad in the
South, and disarmed traitors are as dangerous as they were during the war. They .
cannot and must not be trusted with power
which will enable them to renew the strug’
gle. The Presidents plan, if carried out,
will rekindle the flames of rebellion, and
the land will be again bathed in blood.—
The policy of Congress is to “hasten slowly”
in the work. The President ia acting fora
day and Congress for future ages. Congress
holds that until the Republican goveraments
ed by the Southern States—till they show a
fitness for the enjoyment of the-rights, and
are willing to perform the duties of members
of the Union, they,should .be held in subjection by the strong arm of the Goyernment. This is the right doctrine ‘and will
be endorsed by all who understand the temper of the South.
RETURNING ReEASoN.—The President is
showing signs of returning reason, no doubt
in consequence of the great-uprising in the
North, on account_of his late speech. He
said in a conversation_with Governor Cox,
that his hearty sympathies are with the
great party which brought “the country
through the war of rebellion. He stated that
the Freedman’s Bureau was necessary~in
he was in favor of its continuance until the
rebel States showed-a willingness to protect
Freedmen. He disclaimed any intention of
interfering with Congress in-the exercise of
its powers. Johnson may yet redeem himself, and we hope he will. but the loyal
masses. will require something more than
“fair promises.”* Should the President be=
come reconciled to Congress and act in harmony with that body, won’t John B. Weller,
Coffroth, and other “Democratic Lights”
who have been 80 fast in indorsing him, be
ina “pretty fix?" We advise copperheads
to hold on until the President gets over the
excitement of the 22d.
Mr. Sarpov, the French playwright,
having recently had an interview with the
Empress Eugenie at Compiegne, was complimented by her Majesty upon his efforts to
ridicat®the prevailing extravagance in ladies’ toilets. The Empress said that—she
had tried last Winter to set the example of
greater simplicity ef dress, and that she was
determined to wear still more unpretending
tollete this season.
CoUuNT DE LAGRANGE, the owner of the
horse Gladiateur, won $100,000 on the turf
in England during the last year; the Duke
of Beaufort, $80,000. Mr. Ten Broeck
stands sixth in the list. of winners, and reckons his gains at $30,000.
Tue CatTLe Disease.—Dr. Murehison
and the Londen Lancet maintain that_rinderpest is virulent small pox, that all the
symptoms are identical, that herds which
have-had the cow<pox are exempt, and sug:
gest the vaceinations of all cattle, The
cause of the excessive mortality, so greatly
exceeding the average amung human subjects, is the thickness of hide, which suppresses the postules.
BinGHAM of Ohio in a recent speech alluding to the President, said: “If the day
ever comes when he will find no supporters
except among those who in 1864. were buried so deep that the hand! of resurrection
ean never find them, then-God help the

find an editorial under the above €aption.—
I seldom ever notice such flings in strictly
‘partisah papers, and had not the editor of
the paper containing the article, beeo under
a misapprehension of fact, or pufposely
misrepresented me, I should take no notice of.it_on-—the,present occasion. T am
charged with “retailing a dirty slander of
the Sacramenté. Union against “Andrew
Johnson,” and in substance asserting “that
the President's late maudlin” Message “was
evidently written under the influence of
liquor.” Now, Mr. Editor, I.said in substance, justno such thing. I made po allusion to a “ Message”’ or ‘‘written Message.”
But I did say, and say so still, that the
maudlin speech of President Johnson, made
the nation, and that I believed he was under the influence of liquor at the time. Every loverof his country was humiliated at
the reading of that worse than balderdash
speech, to a whooping, yelling, and perhaps .
drunken crowd around him. I am not guik
ty of mixing “politics” with my lectures—
never have been. I have delivered a few
political speeches in this State, but I did
not mix them with temperance addresses.
Whenever a public servant’ 8 far forgets
his high relation to the interests of his country.und his constituents, as to become a
whisky guzzler, thea his failings should be
publicly alluded to, and if this is “meddling
in politics,” I shall persist in. meddling in
them, in every public speech I make.

Low’Fare.—The following bill has been
introduced by Hon. Joseph Kutz, in the
Senate, entitled:
provide for the incorporation of Railroad
companies, and the management of the
thereto, approved May 20th, 1861.

represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: . :

Section Fifty-One. It shall be unlawful

every such transgression of such limitation
the company shall betiable to the party euffering thereby, treble theentire amount of

be required to receive less than twenty-five
cents for any one lot of freight fur any
distance.
See. 2. This Act shall take effect on and
‘after its-passage. —s
THE TWENTIETH.—By a queer mistake
apackage was lately received at the Quartermaster’s store, at Salt Lake, which was
intended fer another destination. On being opened, it was found to contain a pair of
lady’s gaiters, addressed to ‘““Mrs>Brigham
Young the twentieth.”
THE Montona Post of December 30th.
says tobacco is five dollars per pound in
that market.
A SAILOR’S. PRAYER.—A rough old cap+tain; when terrified passengers. persuaded
him to petition Heaven for a cessation of
the tempest. profered the following brief
request: .“‘O Lord, I havn’t been in the
habit of calling upon Thee often, and if
more south, I won't trouble you again.”
