SATURDAY MORNING; MAY 284-! We “PROGRESS.—Never within forty years, or since the doctrines of Calhoun took root, were the rights of man, as recognized iu the American Declaration of Inde~ Americaus themselves as to-day. From 1820 down to the entrance of Linculn to the Pres~ idential manston-was the dark age of American history, when humanity progressed backward, when the immortal . principle, self evident and sacred, that all meu are eres ~~ ited’ equal, wis obscured and -dimly ween.” It was the era of violence, oppression, and national disgrace, wii#i statesmen taught traculency to bestiality and crime as politi . . cal virtue. We have passed that crisis. Experience has taught us the wisdom of centuries in a few months of war. P So strongly rooted was the prejudice against color, such binding effect had old par~ ty cry-words and creeds upon men, that few were found two years ago who were. willing to look through clouds of error and see the duty of the Government towards itself. The majority still in the thraldom of prejudice, affected horror, or felt it, at the idea of em-~ ploying negroes against the rebellious whites. Nay, more; there were men who would not resort to confiscation and emancipation even after the rebels themselves had robbed Union men all over the South and visited apen them the most barbarous punishments. There were men among us, who, when it waa evident the rebels designed to take the national life, insisted on considering the contest not unlike that ofa prize ring, and implored the Government not to hit the assassitbelow the belt and not a blow too much. Let the assassin keep his pistols, his powder and his lead, and his niggers too,-and let him fire, cut and steal; but let us do nothing of the kind ourselves—such was the attitude ofmen in our midet. Never touch a nigger of the rebels, or a dollar of his property, was the cry of some of the newspapers, and as far as arming negroes was concerned, that would be a disgrace to civilization, and wos not to be thought of. That time has passed. The men called ultea in the beginning of this war, but who saw the inevitable regult, are enjoying the fruite of their labors. Experience has demonstrated the necessity and fitness of resort. ing to every means compatible with the laws of war to sustain the Government. The powers that be recognize this, and the fact ’ that orders have been given for the enrolment of negro brigades is an evidence of the progressiun we have made in military or political knowledge. . Weare learning wisdom day by day. A . conservative, do-nething General was a fit representative of public sentiment once, and, perhaps, on that account entitled to command an army of the people. But we have now outstripped the era for such Generals. Stationary minds with bodies tu match won't do for leaders ina progressive period. Circumstances, great evénte, raise a clase of intellects to a level with the requirements of the .* times, leaving others to grope on a lower plane, caviling, unable to dacend toa knowl» edge of the wants of progression. Your Mc Clellans are no longer of any account, any more than the old shoe of the boy 1s fit fur his foot when he becomes a man. It must be thrown aside as worthless and dangerous to use.
