BRIGHTER DAYS IN FUTURE.
M”e ane-rrer ready to express a hope
—ercrrrmlyl'o liold out to depressed |
mid demoralized mortals, that the fu- j
t»rc is brighter than the present, if the j
lessons of the present he improved up
on, Now that the fullness of Radical
■oppression lias romr, there are those
aviso ery out in all the abandon of dc-!
spair, “no hope!’’ Hut a little while;
• -ago, the heroes of the South, the advo
cates of Southern principle, were ready
to say. rattier than adopt the Constitu
tional Amendment, let us remain as we1
lire forever. Let not the intimidation
measures of our oppressors force ns to !
ilv sacrifice of principle, honesty and;
identity. Tow, alas, these same are
say ing. accept the offer, enter the Union, !
•nnd avert this great .calamity. These
tilings are nil' wrong. In times past,
we counseled our render's (6 reject the
'Consfittitioifol Amendment, 'because 1
\vc thought it wrong, It swept from !
lis tin' lust spark of liberty, destroyed
freedom, nnd made loathsome and dc-!
testable, this once Admirable govern-!
ment. Although changes have come, i
sad many good men have ceased to op
pose, still, we say. it. is not the policy
<>f the-South to yield in this matter.—
Tr. us. the Union of to-day has no lion-1
ors that we court, no l>les.4lfgs that we !
desire. To enter it nit so great a isacri-1
(lee, would attach to us ;i stigma that'
ivc are ndt willing to bear. Afore than
tin's, it is yet to be proven Hint this step
will secure that, which so many crave
—a place in the Union.
That parly who disregarded the cartel
of ''if!—who failed to comply with any
of the conditions of the treaty of jt'o, j
run give no security for good faith at
this lime.
\Ve are now the object of hate by the '
Radical party, and must be, until Rndl
■eaikm has lost its veivoni. All ha*born
done, that can be done, to make oursit
.uationJuiipleasaiU. Still, we say, there :
is a brighter day in the future. He firm
to.ourselves, true to the principles that ■
burn within us, consistent in our ac- ^
lions, willing to wait for the workings,
of time, nnd as France came forth from
ilw, .. f UJ- J .1 la.l ... 1 r.. '
tlic mile of tyrants, so wilt we glide in
to die smooth waters of peace and pros-:
peril! y.
M*t* present to our readers, to the ex- 1
elusion of other matter, and abstract of
the President's veto message. This;
document is perhaps flic ablest (hat lias
been prepared by Mr. Johnson, since;
his occupation of the Presidential chair. ]
in it, lie clearly defines the object of
the l’adieal party to bo forcing upon
(ho Southern people an odious meas
ure, i. e. negro suffrage. He discusses,
inan aide manner the bill, .and argues at
length upon it- uneonsfitutionality.—
Had the party to whom this message is
addressed, a tithe of the President's'
Statesmanship, or a part I el o of the true!
principle actuating' him in his cortrse.'
they would certainly pause, before;
throwing around this people, these last
chains of servitude. M'o regret that
our space will not allow us to give the
message in lull, but to such extracts as j
wo give, we call special attention.
A GREAT AND GOOD MAN GONE,
Joshua Soule, senior Bishop of the
Methodist Vi.ureli South, is no more.1
His spirit tookits flight on the Sth inst..
and is now with the God who gave it.
This veteran soldier of the Cross died
with his armor on. Til his last Illness ;
liowas attended by Bishop MeTveiro.;
In answer to Hr. McTveiro's question if
all was clear before him, lie answered,
“All rigUk sir: all rigid i" and went

church militant, but tho church tri
umphant rejoices.
fi®-Thc Legislature of the State is
still in session, hut ns our Little Hook
exchanges failed to come to hand this
week, wo can give no notice of its pro
ceedings.
£JP Wc give place to the following very
sensible article, which was handed in at a
late hour—it is well worth perusal:
Mn. Editor:—The productive indus
try of Arkansan is almost wholly agricul
tural, mid as such, supplies to commerce t
several staples of great valuo. Up to iho ;
present timo all other departments of
commercial industry have received little or
no encourngpmont. Manufacturing inter
ests, the most conducive elements to State
prosperity, to developing tho country, at
irauiing population, ann securing capital,;
have made but little advancement amongst'
us. Looking in almost every direction of
the compass, you ran observo evidences of
growing and permanent good among our
neighbors, arising from the consideration
they are paying to manufacturing enter
prises. The products of these States arc
the same as those grown hero, aud if the
establishment of manufactories for tie
. I
working up of the raw material is profita
ble to them at home, can we not augment ,
our prosperity by the erection of similar
(•■nos in our State? The want of capital
is tlie general cry against the inauguration
of theso valuable improvements, but in '
our opinion this is not the reason, but it is
a want of industry, and the chilly and ul
most ropellsnt spirit of our people against
their introduction, whether^ erected by
local or foreign capitalists. ‘"The gods
help those who help themselves,” is as ap
plicable to us us to, people elsewhere, and.
notwithstanding the many advantages that
nature has supplied to us from a bounte
ous hand, unless we energetically lay hold
with determined hands,to make tl\.em condu-!
■-:ve to material good, they will stand as
Mnonmucnts of shame and reproach, and
recorded evidences of a people who might
have been commercially great, hut who
•djpsc to bo laggards in forwarding on the
great ojstciVU of national prosperity. Hue
in lies Ate, with facilities furnishing a
foundation upon whi'-h to build every va
riety of manufactories, having a paramount
community of intnrests in relation to cli
mate, soil, agricultural and mineral pro
duet*, thousands of dollars arc paid annu
ally to foreign manufacturers that should
go 1o support4''manufacturers at home.
But if we set i#Iv \lovrti and hope.that
those great facilities in themselves will
grow ns a prosperity without .making the
proper use of thorn, disappointment will
inevitably he our doom. Beneficial results
seldom grew out of natural facilities, and
it we expect to reap any advantage from
natural resources, the e resources must be
m'ade jukseirioiit to the advancement of
commercial interests, by the appliance of
industry and capital. Cotton factories,
foundries, and flouring mills, could all he
successfully supported, and save the im
mense sums of money paid in taxes upon
articles passing through the channels of
trndo between the place of production to
that of the manufacturing communities.
By the founding of these enterprises we
would he freed of many fax burdens, and
(hose of an impost character would be
paid to build up our own interests instead
of the interests of other States. The al
most criminal neglect of these enterprises
heretofore, is at the present time, la
mentably impressed upon our minds. Wc
are at the mercy of those who cure not for
us, and having no facilities for supplying
our wants at home, we are humiliatingly
dependent upon them, and arc compelled
to send out the few dollars left us by the
late National robbery scheme, to satisfy
their exorbitant prices for those wants.
We send North for flour, corn meal,
plows, calicoes, and a variety ofwther mer
ebamlise, whilst at the same time, wc
have a climate and soil, and deposits, to
furnish the raw material for the manufac
turing of every one of these articles at.our
command. It is high time that we be
come a self-supporting people. Political
relations arc at all times liable to misgive,
and whoM-brofae*, those communities that
are self-supporting, do 'net •experience the
misfortunes attendant upon sections whose
wants must be supplied from foreign mar
kets. Why, then, do wo not undertake
something to push forward in these enter
prises ? If we cannot build a rotton fac
tory or a fimndrv, let ns build, of encour
age ■capitalists to build, a grist mill. We
wantto make a beginning, and likely this
little ♦effort will awaken tip our resolution
to undertake greater things.

* -*, * * * * *
1 lie lull places ali the people of the
ten stales therein named under the ab
solute riimiuion of military rulers, mid
(be preamble undertakes'to give the
reasons upon which it is justified. It
declares there exists in those states no
‘'‘gal government and adequate protec
tion to life or property, mat nsserts the
propriety of enforcing peace and good
order within their limits.
*******
The kill however would seem to show
upon its face that tiio establishment of
peace mid good order is not its real ob
ject. The tilth section declares that the
procediu.g section shall cease to operate
in any State where certain events have
happened. Those are: 1st. Tlie elec
tion of delegates to a state convention,
by election at which negroes shall lie
allowed to vote. 2d. 'J ho formation of
a state constitution by tlie convention
so chosen. 3d. The insertion into the
state constitution of a provision which
will secure tlie right of voting at all
elections to negroes and siieli white
men as may not lie disfranchised for
rebellion or felony. 4th. The submis
sion of the constitution for ratification
of negroes and white men not disfran
chised,, and its actual ratification bv
vote. 5th. 'flic submission of the state
constitution to congress for tlie exami
nation and actual approval of it by that
body, tith. The adoption of a certain
amendment to the federal constitution
by vote of the legislature elected un
der the new constitution. 7,th. The
adoption of said amendment by a suf
ficient number of other states to make
it a part of tlie constitution of the Uni
ted estates. i
All of these conditions must ho ful
filled before the people of any of these
states can be reliovcd from the bondage
of military despotism, hut when they
arc fulfilled then the pains apd penal
ties of tlie bill arc to cease, no matter
wliethet there he peace or order or not,
without reference to the security of life
and property. The excuse given for
tlie bill in the preamble is admitted by
thu hill itself not to lie real. The mili
tary rule v hjoh it establishes is plainly
to ho used not for any purpose of order,
or for thepreventionof erimo. tint sole
ly as a means of coercing the people
into the adoption of principles and
measures to which if is known they are
opposed, and upon which they have an
undeniable right to exercise their own
judgment. 1 submit tocongrc*# wheth
er this measure is not in its whole si ope

which our ancestors on both sides of

The power given to the commanding
officer over ail the people of each state
is that of an absolute, monarch, llis
mere will is to take the place of nil law.
The law of the states, the only rnttVap
plivable lo the subject, is plucdR under
hjs control, and that is completely dis
placed by the clause which declares that
all interference of the state authority
to lie null and void, lie alone is per

< d si> to (Id. To ii casual reader of the
bill, it might seem that some kind ol
triitl M as sccnitul to persons licensed ol

i officer may locate civil tribunals to try
offenders, bid of courte thiJ does* not

judges and jurors 11s being themselves
malefactors, lie can save his friends
from justice and despoil ids enemies
: contrary to justice, it is also provided
that he shall have power to organize
military commissions or tribunals, but
this poweV is not commanded. To do
it is merely permissive, and is to lie
used only when in hi- judgment it may
be necessary for the triM of oflenders.
l.vun if I lie scutouct) of a commission
were made a pre-requisite to the pun
ishment of u party, it M ould be scarce
ly the slightest restraint upon the offi
cer who lias authority to organize it as
lie pleases, prescribe its mode of pro
ceedings, appoint its' members from his
own subordinates, and revise ail its de
risions. Instead of mitigating the
harshness of his single rule, such a tri
bunal would lie used much lnoic pro
bably to divide the responsibility of
making it more cruel or unjust.
‘ *******
Such a power lias not been wielded
by any monarch in Hnglaud for more
I ban live hundred years. In all that
time no people who speak the Knglish
language have borne such servitude.
It reduces the whole population of the
ten states, all persons of every color,
sex and condition, and everv stranger
within their limits to the most abject
and degrading slavery. No master ever
bad a control so absolute over his slave
as this bill gives to military officers
over both white and colored persons.
It may be answered to .this, that officers
ol the army are too magnanimous, just
and humane, to oppress and trample"
upon a subjugated people. ,1 do not
doubt that army officers are as well en
titled to his confidence as any other
class of men. Hut. the history'of the
•world lias been written iw viiin. if it
does not teach us that unrestrained au
thority can never bo safely trusted in
human hands.
*******
I conic now to a question ■which, if
possible, is far more important.’ - Have
wo the power to establish and carry in
to execution a measure like this? i an
swer, certainly not. if we derive our
authority from the constitution, and if
Me arc bound by the limitations .which
it proposes, this proposition is perfect
ly clear, that no branch of the federal
government, executive, legislative or
judicial can have any just power except
those which it derives through and ex
ercises under Hie organic law of the
I'niou. Outside of the constitution
we have no legal authority more
Ilian private citizens, and within
it we have only so much ns that
instrument gives us. This broad
principle limits all our functions
“ii Mu.'jccis. it proiects
not only tho eitixens of the United
States who avo within the union, but
shields every human being who comes
"r is brought under our jurisdiction.
W e luiVc no right to do in one place
more than'in another that which the
constitution says wo shall not do at ail.
If, therefore, the southern states were
in truth out of the union, we could not
treat their people in a manner whirii the
i fundamental law loi biiU. Some peo
ple assume t hat the success of our arms,
in crushing the opposition which was
ma.de in some states to tiie execution
ot tedrr.il lavs, reduced those states
and all their people, the innocent as
well 11s the guilty, to the condition of
vassalage and gave us a power over
them which the constitution does not
bestow, or define, or limit. X'o fallacy
can be, more transparent than this. Our
victories subjected the insurgents to
legal obedience, not to the vote of an
arbitrary despotism. 'When an abso
lute sovereign reduces his rebellious
subjects in* may deal tvitli tbcm accord
ing (o bis pleasure, because he had that
power before, lint whore a limited
monarch puts down a rebellion, be must
govern, according to law. If any in
surrection should take place in one of
our states against the aufhoritv ol' the
state government, and end in the over
throw of those, who planned it, would
that take away the rights of nil the peo
ple of the counties where it was cover
ed by a part or a majority of the pop
ulation V Could they for such a reason
be wholly outlawed' and deprived of
their representation in the legislature?
♦ ****'»*
There is not in any one of the states
brought under its operation either war
or insurrection. The laws of the state
and of the federal governments are in
undisturbed and harmonious operation
The courts, state and federal, arc open
mid in the full exorcise in their proper
authority ever every state comprised of
the live military districts. Idle, liber
ty and property are secured by state
laws, and federal laws and the nation
al constitution is everywhere in force
and everywhere obeyed. AVhut, then,
is the ground on which this bin pro
ceeds? 'flic title of the bill announces
that it is intended for the ctlUdeat gov
ernment of those tun .'-tiitcs. It is re
cited, by way of preamble, (hut no le
gal State Government, nor adequate
protection for life or property, exists
in these States, and that peace and good
order should thus he enforced. The
first tiling that arrest- attention Upon
these recitals, which piepaio tlie w ay
for martial law, is this: That the only
foundation upon which martial law rail
exist under our form of government is
not stated, or so much us pretended,
that actual war, foreign invasion, or
domestic insurrection prevails. Xone
fact, exist, ltis not even rciptad that
any sort of war or insurrection is threa
tened.
♦ *,♦****
It will be observed that of the three
kinds of military jurisdiction which
can be exercised or created under our
constitution, there i$ but one that can
prevail in time of peace, and that is the
code of laws enacted by congress for
the government of the national forces.
That code of military law has no appli
cation to the citizen, nor even to the.
citizen soldier enrolled in the militia in.
time of peace, lint this bill is not u
part of that government of military
law, for that applies only to the. sol
dier, and not to the citizen, while con
trariwise, the military law provided by
this bill upplies only to the citizen and
not to the soldier, i need not say to
the Representatives of the American
people that their constitution forbids
the exercise of judicial power in any
wav but one—that is by the ordained
and established courts. H is equally
well known that in all criminal ruses a
trial by jury is made indispensable by
the expro-s words of that instrument.
I will not enlarge on the inestimable
value of th<S right thus secured to every
freeman, or speak of the. danger to
public, liberty in all parts of the coun
try which must en-uo from a denial of
it anywhere or upon any pretence. -V
very recent decision of the supreme
court Ibis traced the authority, vindica
ted the dignity and made known the
value ol this privilege so clearly, that
nothing more is needed. To what ex
tent a violation may bo excused in time
of war or pujdie danger may admit of
discussion, llut we are providing new
fora time of profound peace, wheittbrro
is not an armed soldier within vurbor
•
di'is, except those wln> are in the ser
vice of the government. It is in Midi
!a condition that nil act of congress is
proposed which, if carried out. would

persons shall hare that right, and that
no person shall ever, in any case, be
'deprived of it.
The constitution also forbids the ar
rest of citizens without a judicial war
rant, as a foundation or probable cause.
Ibis bill authorizes arrest without" a
warrant, at the pleasure of a military
commander. The constitution declares
• no pyrsoji'shaiybe bold to innytver for
a capital or otherwise infamous crime,
unless on presentment bra granfl'jiiry.”
This bill bold s every person, not a sol
dier, answerable, for all crimes and all
charges without presentment. The
constitution declares that "*no person
shall bo deprived of life, liberty or
property without due process of iaw.”
Tliis bill sets aside all process of law.
and makes the citizen answerable in
Ids person and property to the will of
one man, and in his lift* to the will of
two finally. The constitution declares
that ‘"tlie privilege of Um wr it of habe
as corpus shall not he suspended, unless
when in case of rebellion or invasion,
the public safety may require it.”
Whereas this bill declares martial law
which of itself suspends tills great lyrit,
in time of peace, and authorizes the
military to make the arrest pad. gives
to the prisoner only ond privilege, and
that is a trial without unnecessary de
lay, He has no hope of release from
custody, except the hope, such us it is,
of release by. acquit till before a military
| commission.' '
* * * » *
Without pausing hereto consrdCil (lie
policy or impolicy of Africanizing tlie
southern part of our territory. 1 would
simply ask the attention of congress to
that manifest, well known and fiiiivcr
sally acknowledged constlititional 'law
which declares that the 1'cderui govern
ment lias no jurisdiction, authority or
power to regulate such subjects for an v
stale, to force the right of suffrage out
of the hands of the white people and
into Urn hands of negroes. In an arbi
trary violation of this principle this bill
imposes martial law at once, and its
operations will be beglin as soon as the
general and bis troops can be placed in
power. The dread alternation between
its harsh rule and compliance with the
terms of this measure is not suspend
ed, nor tiro the people afforded anv
time for 1'roe deliberation. This bill
i says lo them : ‘-Take martial law first ;
j then deliberate.” And when they
I have done all that this measure re
quires them to do, other conditions
| ami contingencies over which thov
have no control yet remain to be ful
j filled before they can bo relieved from
martial law. And then congress must
f first approve the constitution made in
conformity with the will of this con
gress, and must declare those. States
• entitled to representation in both
| houses. 1 he whole question remains
! open and unsettled, and must again
| occupy the attention of’congress. In
j the meantime the agitation which now
prevails will continue to disturb all
portion • of the people.
*******
It only remains to consider whether
the in junction of ttiu instrument ought
to be obeyed or not. 1 think it ought
to be obeyed for reasons which 1 will
proceed to give as briefly as po-.-dble.
In tho first place It is the only system
, of free, government which we can hope
' to have ns a nation. When it ceases to
ho the rule, of our conduct we may per
j Imps take (iur choice between complete
! anarchy, n consolidated monarchy and
| a total dissolution of the uirlon.’ Put
j national liberty regulated by law will
have passed beyond ouf reach, it is
the best form of igoverimiout the world
ever saw. \o other is or can lie so
well adapted to the genius, lmblfa or
wants of the American people. Com*
hilling the strength of the great em
pire with the unspeakable blessing <>t
local self-governments, having a mi
tral power to defend the general inter
ests and recognizing the authority of
the state as the guardians of industrial
riglits.it is the shoot anchor of our
safety abroad, and bur peace at ‘Home,
and was ordained to “form a more per
j feet union, establish justice, insure do
I mestj • tranquility, promote thegeueral
; welfare, provide lor the. common de
fence and secure the blessings of liber
ty to ourselves and posterity.”
* * * t i* * ¥ ifi
Tho constitution, in its whole integ
rity and vigor throughout the length
and breadth of the, land, Is tho best of
all compromises ; besides,wiv duty does
not. in my judgment, leave us a Choice
between that and any other. A believe
that it contains the remedy that is so
much needed, and if the’ co-ordinate
branches of the governthrmt would
unite Upon its provisions, they would
he found broad enough and strong
enough to sustain in time of penee tho
nation which they bore safely through
the Ordeal of a protracted civil war.
Among the must sacred guarantees of
that instrument are those which de
clare each state shall have at least one
representative, and that no state, with
out its consent, shall be deprived of
equal sutfeagv, in the senate.

hostile toward us every day, and the
bistort of the Sybil's bbok’ at Rome

once the groat bead and front of the
-Aholitiop party, is now eminently con
servative when . compared with Mr.
Sumner and -Mr, Stevens; and yet, un
less some cheek is'given to the advance
now going forward in The Radical poli
cy. Utoso gentlemen may yet stand ap
palled and pp Cutisyip-aiive when their
younger followers may be pressing to
establish a Congressional oligarchy
which shall govern every State bv mil
itary satraps.
i hero uniat be an end of these trou
bles as soh’.i as possible, and the names
of Southern rebels which are now used
before tiie Northern populace like the
red flag, before the Spanish bull-—to
arouse, iullatqjj and madden them—
must be withdrawn. If this can be
done by accepting the terms now ottered
by Congress, and I am sure it. can he.
I Tor one am in favor of it. The terms
ottered by tin- President wore to my
mind'unconstitutional, ami those ofi'er
en by Congress arm. still more so. We
accept oiie for pevf mid T can see no
sacrifice of principle in accepting the
oilier, in great revolutions men never
stop for logic, or consistency, or Con
stitution, ami it is idle in us to hesitate
now upon nnv logica'fV>f constitutional
grounds, or to expect anything from
the fact that the position of the Radical
party of to day is inconsistent with its
position during the war. • If.the South

Congress thev will, if united, form a
power wmt he *nturht after, iumI
they will l>o alpe when great questions
of tariff and governmental scicney shall
divide the Mast and U'est. to hold the
