The adooiiiioD of the Statei lately the thea ter of the rebellion to the privilege! and right f representation in Congreie, ie now the ques tion. There appears to be abont three partiei. The Demoorati iniiit that the Southern repre M.Utivei should be admitted at once, withnat taking teit-oatb, or any other oonditiona. Tho radloali insist that the Stati-s lately in rebellion are) out of the Union dt facto, are no longer Statei, are not now entitled to repreeentation. and if they get into the Union again, It is only by the graoe of Congreia, and mnat oerae in aa new territorin. President Johnaon and all tbeae who support him lay that theie Statet are new in the Union, have never been oat, and annot be got oat, either by their own acta or by the act of Congreaa, and that the rebellion laving been suppressed by force of arma, the righta of the State reaided in the loyal people of tbat State, and anoh loyal people having re organized a State Government, "republican in form," are now entitled to representation on the floor of Congreaa, whenever they tend loyal citizens of the United State to represent them. The principal diacuaaion ia between the friend of what ia called "the President's plan" and those who indorse "the Congressional plan (1)," In this article, we deiire to id forth fully and fairly the claima of the two plana Inst named, reoogniting the friemla of each a Union men, while leaving the Democratic plan out of tbe discussion entirely, aa being the doctrine advocated by thoee who opposed the war to maintain the Union. 1 The Preaident'e plan goea upon the plain principle that, when a State ia admitted Into tbe Union or Government of the United Statee, It become an Integral pnrt of that Union, and eannot renoonoe it allegiance to the Union, nor etcape It datie. obligations and lialiililie to tbe Union in any way but that of iticceuful revolution by war. That no aot of leoenion, ordinance of the State Legislature, convention of the people, or even a direut vote of the pen pie of the State, can ever lever the legal and oooatitotional ornuection and rela'.ioo between tho State and the Union. Ae the conntepart of thil propeaition, it followa logically that no act of Congrea (the representative of the Union Government), or eveu a vote of all tbe people of tho Union, can legally or constitutionally ex pel a State from the Union, or lever tbe con nection or relation existing between the State aad the Union. Tbii relation exist by virtue of tbe fundamental, orgaoio law of tbe Union tbe Cooetitntion of the United State. As Stat, each Stat ef tbe Union it the equal of every other State. Delaware, the smallest, i a much a " 8tate " a Pennsylvania, tbe key. atone of the aroh. The Constitution expreasly provide tor tbe admission of new Slates, but It leave no door for any State to ever depart from the Union. It alio provide that " the United State ihall goarantee to every State in tbii Union a republican form of government;" that should foreign power, internal faction or deraestio violence, lobstitute, or attempt to enbetltule, any other form of government, it would be tbe p'ain duty of the United Statei Government to Interfere, and restore or main tain "the republican form of government" in tbat Bute. And for the faithful execution and aintenanoe of this proviiiou of the Constitu tion, tk President is a much bound by bi oatk of office a for any other provision in tbat Constitution. The oontideratlon bring oi to the close of tho late rebellion in the Southern Statea, and to the duty of reatoring republican form of government In tbe Statei attempting secesaion. Ia the abaeaoo of any rule or regulation laid down by Congress upon tbe proper mode of restoring such State Government, tbe Presi dent and hi Cabinet devised inch a plan a they deemed best for the interests of tho nation, (We her oall attention to the faot that Con great neglected fur more than four years, and nntll tbe President had put In operation his plea, to prescribe or enact a single rule or reg alaliea a this qoeation of " reconduction.") The President's plan was Terr liniple, conaisl Ing ef tbe appointment of a Provisional Gov ernor, with power to call Stale Contentions of the people by elections, appoint jui'gea of elec tion, aad prescribe oath of loyally and alle giance. With these Slate Conventions, when ia eion, tbe President and bit Cabinet have ated their personal and oOicial influence to pro euro the au option of oerlaio Ihiugs. to-wit t the total abolillju of slavery, tbe ratiflcation of I lie anti-slavery amendment. Ihe repudiation of the ordinance of recession aa a nullity, the repudi ation of tho rebel war debt, and inch legisla tion a would secure all persons without dis tinction of color lo their civil rights. These thing done, and State officer elected to pur aaanoo of these proceeding, the President and bi Cabinet aeeume that the work of restoring ropublioaa form of government, in the several State where the rebellion had left only an archy, waa then completed. . At ti point in the history, Cengrea meet M the 4th day of December last. Although the President had reetored civil governments hi all tboeo aooeded State, be had no power to plao member of Congree from them la ihe ball of the National Congress, and therefor bit tbat matter, aa It waa bi duty to do, en tirely with Congree. But w may add bert, a tbo fall completion of hie plan, that tho President did desire that these Statee ehould bo allowed repreeentation in Congree by loyal Boa, Oa thin point hi language to Gov. Cox U t "twtmld admit only such reprttentaiittt at art in fact loyaC and OA oiva iATUrACTO.r av Idibci or rr." W italicise these word, be aueo tb Preaidaot baa beea scandalously mis roprowatod by tat radical pre oa ihi point. Tbo President woald Dot stop with merely ad ioWtoriog the test-oath to Southern member, bat bo would go evea farther than tho rule pre earned by Congress, and require member from tbo Soath to give tatiifactory evideao of tbeir loyalty. Hi portion I, simply, If the South era member give salisaelor evideao of tbeir loyalty, admit then t if they oaoaot do this, at'i tboa back, aad let th Slate vend up oil roproeoatativeo, and keep oa doing thi a:::l r b loyal member are tent. He ask that tb Teenmeeea members may be admitted, trtv-w tbs loyally I andonbted i hut he d .- oyaJ members shall be admitted from Georgia. His rule ia simple it ia nut hit rule ft it tilt law of the Constitution. It applies alike to eaob State, and lo every South ern member. It secure loyal representatives every time. It is definite, ascertained, and known to all. It is tbe same to-day, next year, and for every succeeding Congress. In all honesty and candor, is it not reatonahle, right and jutt J It ia acarcely necessary to add her that thil plan and theory ia the same as that upon which the entire war againit the rebels was oarried on for four years, and until a tri umphant and glorious victory was achieved. It ii the exact idea maintained and advocated by the Union party from it organization down to the present time. It is the siune view taken and enforced by the lamented Lincoln. We do not care to waste word on this point, but we defy any enemy of the Pretidenl to produce a tingle line of tcttimony to prove that ever Abraham Lincoln, or the Union party, ever held any other doctrine than the one now main tained on Ihi point by President Johnson. Wo now como to the plan of the radical member of Congress. Tbaddeus Stevens, of the House, declares their position as follow : These States lately in rebellion must come in at new Statei or remain aa eonqutrtd prov incei." That it explicit and right to the point. According to thii new doctrine (first promul gated by Cbarlei Sumner, of the Senate,, in an article in tbe Atlantic Monthly, about two years ago), there it no longer such a State as Virginia or Tennessee ; eleven States have been stricken from the flog. Need we sny that this i the exact counterpart of secession. Jef ferson Davis claimed the right of secession, and eleven States, acting on that doctrine, seoeded, and the Government battled, them for four years to annihilate thai doctrine, and keep those States in the Union. Now, at the end of the war, Sumner, Steven k Co. propose lo do for these Statei what four years of awful war could not secure for them expel them from the Union. Away with audi heresy ! This radical plan proposes to ignore not only th exislenoe of eleven Slatea of the Union. and their vote in making Ihe antl slavery amendment a part of the Constitution, but to Ignore all that the President has done, anil pass enabling acts, just as was given to all the new Territories, so as to force unqualified negro suffrage, by aot of Congress, on the whole South, while at the same time it is not tolerated in any of the free Slatei. This doctrine is just as much revolutionary and destructive of the Con stitntion a the doctrine of secession, and cnu not be compromised with. But we are told that this radical dootrino is not the " Congressional plan " of reconstruc tion. Very well then what is the " Cnngres lional plan T" If you demur to the President' plan, then give us 11 the better writ." We are aminos to know what the plan of Congress is. We have been denounced by professed Union men and Union paper for defending the Pres ident's plan, and we bave had that great ma jority in Congress held op as a scarecrow, that we should not dare to question their wisdom We bave seen Congress indorsed here and there by eloquent resolution, and Dow we want to know the " why aud wherefore ?" What is the plan of Congress? Who baa declared it? Show u the word of Congress. Give us th "tho saith the law." The Ortgonian declared that "Congreaa had no chimerical theory of reconstruction," but that its plan rest on sound practical principle." Thi may h o, but we are excusable if we de mand to know what these "sound practical principle" art In our Inst issue we asked the Oregonian to date them to give us the words of Congree but it doe not attempt to explain. It may bo a humiliating confession, but we prefer to itiok to tbe truth, wbtn we declare that Congretl hat no plan of reconstruction. Immediately upon the meeting of Congress, a Joint oemmiltee of fifteen was raised, and tho whole question of reconsl ruction referred to that committee. Then commenced Ihe speech making. This committee sent its members all over the country. They relumed. Nothing was reported no plan of reconstruction wa submitted. Thus matter stood until the Pres ident' veto message wa sent In, and then Thaddeu Stevens, ihe chairman ef this recon struction oommitloe, after Ihe expiration of more lhan Ihtee monlhe of precious lime, re ported Ihe following resolution, ou Feb. SOth, as the action of that committee I Rewired, That, In nriler to cIimc Uffitatinn on the (iiotimi which aerni hkrly t dialnrli the a,-ilnn of the tinverninciit, iu well a l.i ((uict the iin-vrtaiulv wliith film In the mlmlf the iflf ill Hie eleven Hlatc declared mi tw iu inurrectii,n, noMenaloraor ltrpreent. stive Ahull be admitted Into rnurr lrin either ol snch State until t'onyr shall hive declared such Utile entitled lo em b representation. If Cougres has any plan of reconstruction, it is embraced in that resolution. Do you see any particular plan there. That is the sum total which that great committee has reported; and where are tbe "sound practical princi ple " whioh th Oregonian talks about I Sum ner had hi plan writton out, and submitted it iu the shape of a bill; but Congress baa not agreed with Sumner, and is now quarreling fur Ihe President. Neither tbia Reconstruction Committee nor Congrea have yet determined whether they will recngniie the present restored Stale Governments of tb South or not. Three moulha' conference ba not enabled them to determine any ootid it ion of circumstances upon which they will agree to admit loyal members of Ihe Southern Slate. There is nothing, ab solutely nothing, in tin resolution. Will Con gree admit Southern uieuiber this year, urxt year, in ten teats, or when? Must tbe South ern Statee adopt negro suffrage, repudiate the rebel war debt, or what 1 required of them t Th country i becoming impatient at tbia state or affair, aud It ia no wonder that President Johnson should make a violent speech. Sec retary Seward told tb truth in hi New York speech, wbea he declared that Ihi Reconstruc tion Committee had "stopped the wheel of legislation lor three months when upon tbe very eve ef a happy consummation ef the whole question, and then, instead of giving aa a plan of reoonilruotieo, had given us an obstruction." Th telegraphic proceedings for March 9th show tbat Sumner, Ihe greatest radical, and Saulsbury, tb vilest copperhead, are now Vot ing logelher aa Ibe reconstruction question.

Astoria, March Vi, 1HUG. Ed. Statnman : On reaching homo from Ban Franciaco I find that you generously copied th editorial in the Flag of Feb. l'2th, in relation to the robbery of my trunk of $2(1,500 on board the steamer Oregon, during her paiMiigf. from Aitoria lo Ran Francisco. The article you copied Into Ihe Stateimanof March &lh wai, ill Ihe main, a cor rect statsment of the matter, though it made a mistake in laying that I " never lost light of my trunk but once during the voyage." This of course was either a mistake of the editor or primer, as any one would know that I was noceiiarily ab sent at my meals and on other nccaaions. I was very vigilant during the voyage, and did not al low myself to be abaent lung at a time where I could not look alung tho giiardi in front of my room. In walking on the deck for exercise, I was careful to pass round in sight of my room very freqnently. I suppose tho robbery was perpetrated on the night before we reached Sail Franciaco. We were lying by in the fog, and many of the paasengcrs were full of apprehension and gloom, through fear that we might be too close in ihure among the rocks. I was miTering with cold, and con cluded te go to tho fire and writo a few lines to my wife. I went to Pnner Doraett and procured a shnet of paper for that purpose. It was while I was writing tliii letter that I niipoie tho robbery was committed. My room has entered by the door (I had the window fastened), tho thief un locking it, and lucking it again when lie loft. My trunk was opened, ns the detectives laid, from the marks on the bottom, by means of a bowie-knife. I now believe, from what 1 have ami.thiit if I hnd come suddenly upon tho thief or thieves while they were in my room (as I often wished I hnd done when I tint discovered the robbery) that I should have been murdered, and that money iu ahundniico would have been formatted ill San Franciaco (if what was in my trunk wouldn't have answered the purpoae) to have effectually covered up all traces that would have led to the detection and conviction of the murderers. The detectives and others often said to me, " What a pity you didn't discover the robbery before you reached the wharf, as then you could have stopped the steamer out In the stream, and notified the po lice, who would have been able to recover the mo ney." I said "Yes, yes, what a pity !" nnd I ofien wondered at my own stupidity in not having ex amined 111 v trunk carefully before the. steamer landed. The only reason that I could give any body for not having done so, waa, that my trmik appeared all right, and tho thought of a robbery never entered my bend. I never tried at that time to lift the trunk, as it weighed I suppose over two hundred pounds, ami was too Ipavy for me to lift. If I had auapeeted that any one had disturbed it, 1 would have unlocked it, and carefully examined its contents, rather than to have satiafied myself that it was all right by merely lifting it. I had two men carry it olf the iteamer, aud from tho fuaa they inado in carrying it one would hare suppos cd that it still contained two hundred pounds weight or more. I nine regnrd it (and so told prom inent men in Han Frnnciaco) as a providential thing that I did not din-over the robbery before leaving the steamer, as I verily believe the police would not have found a dollar of tho money on board the ahip. I believe that the money would have been quietly anchored over one sidu of the veaael in the bay, and that it probably was so an chored during t In) ten or fifteen minutes wo were pulling alongaide the wharf. If ao, the detectives would have searched tho ship and pnaaeugers iu vain no money would havo been found and the detectives would probably have pursued their in veiiigaliom into tbe fact of the alleged theft no farther, but would bave been iwift witnesses against me in supporting the statement made by parlies who were determined to ruin ine, that I wai a villain, anu had not been robbed of a dol lar" Tho two lacks nf gold coin that wero taken from my trunk were tiej up, sealed with black sealing wax, and marked, one $tl,!M, nnd the other s)H.HUU, the amount of money ihey con tained. Uesides these, I had in my trunk two more sacks and a roll of paper ronlaining gold. One sack contained live small sacks. One of these had in it $4,1100, one $ 1.000. one $2 filKI. one J2,000, and another A I .AOO makiuir flHIMIO In the large sack. I he fourth sack contained $H,(KHI, and the roll of paper 3)1,000. Tho robbers left iu my trnnk fje7,000 in gold, in demand note, and something over $.',000 in currency, a part of which belonged lo 1110 ilesides litis, 1 hnd in my pocket, drafts, currency, and coin bclongiuir to the Government, aud lo other men who had sent down money by me, amounting to about $27,000. 1 had with ino $?rj,llHt2 belonging lo tbo (iov eminent. This money was caiofolly counted out by me, aud put up as I have already described, to the truth of which 1 have made oath. The four sacks of gold worn carried on board thn steamer Oregon at Axtoria by Charles l'arker (Post Mas ter), A. Morriaon, K. A. Woodruff, and myself, aa thesu men have already stated under oath. Yet from Ihe very moment 1 announced tho rohborv in Mail Fraiiciacn there waa a moat powerful ell'ort made to create the impression that 1 was a villain, and had not been robbed. The amount and ex tent of thai influence, and the iinacrnpuluna aud vindictive cenl with which it hunted nm down, aeeiued to me to be perfectly appalling. I bad no idea before that I In- world was an corrupt and wicked, it seemed enoii;li for me tu bear the an guiah 1 was suffering on account of the robbery, without li.n'inir a noer, hacked by lart'e sums of money, operaliug through a hundred paid tool.-, as it seemed to me, iu foreaiidlinif public senti ment, in hounding me every where I went, in sending paid ngrnls to Oregon to operate upon public sentiment here through my enemies, and III pulling, hi 1 verily believe was done, foul and black aaaiiis upon my track. 1 waa met on the streets in Finn Francisco by sunpieious looking rougba, who lamilioily called me by name (though 1 nau never aeen tiiem beiure), ami in the moat friendly mnnner urged lo en lo some drinkine hell totako a drink. 1 w as mel by anapirioiia looking characters, with fiendish expreaainna of counte nance, ana aiikeu to step sue aide with them In explain the robbery. I was eonatanllr being told ol some vile falsehood whirh was being put in circulation about nir character statements as false aa hell, and which 1 had reason to believe came from Ibe polluted moulha of certain unprin cipled aud biikv aoaked tools of smugglers and llneves who live 10 Astoria. ia I ho boueit peo ple of Oregon, who love truth and honesty, aud whom gold couldn't buy In join in a shout of Away with him! I runty bun: trneifv him! be fore he was proved guilty of any crime, wish to know va all Ibis effort to ruin me? 1 once asked Senstor Nesinith, when he told me Ibat certain fellows in Aatona and Portland were very ani Ions to gel me out nf office "What rw do they taaae against met" Mr. Nesmith replied, " I have nevec been able lo either from their complainta that yon were nhnoxions to them for more man two llmva.
