Usurpation of New England.
Mr. P. S. O'Rourks, of Ft. Wayne, In
diana, writes as follows to the Democratic
paper of that eitj :
Ma. Editor : Who govern this coun
try, the people at large, through their
representatives, or the capitalists of the
Eastern States f These are questions that
all should ponder well, without distinction
ci rartv. All should understand whether
the people govern, or are governed by an
aristocracy, composed of manufactures,1
bankers, "peculators and bondholders. If
the people govern through honest repre-!
eutatives, all classes would be governed
by just and equitable laws. Labor and
"capital would then go hand in hand to
gether, in perfect harmony. The inter
est of the one would be the gaia of the
other. There would be no antagonism,
as now, between capital and labor; for,
tinder equitable laws, both would stand or
fa.ll together. Hence most people would
strive to .promote each other's interest ;
the capitalist would consult the prosperi
ty of the laborer, while the laborer would
work in good faith for the capitalist.
But euch is not the case, at this time,
'' la the United States. Labor lies pros
trate at the feet of capital. I mean, by
this, that the farmers, mechanics and day-
; laborers of the Middle and Northwestern
States are ruled with a rod of iron by the
capitalists of New England and Middle
States ; and . hence, I repeat, that labor
lies prostrate beneath the iron heel of capital.-'
For years capitalists strove by means of
banks and tari&s, to get control of the la
boring interests of the country. By tar
iffs they hoped to hedge themselves in
, against foreign competition, so that their
commodities would bring such prices as
they saw i to demand j also to enable
" thera to give labor that pittance only which
wotld prevent its soul from leaving the!
body. High tariffs enable the Eastern
capitalists to set their own prices upon
the products of the Western farmers by
- thuttiag the door against foreign trade.
IXigh t&riSs enable the capitalists of the
-Ekstern States to get clear of taxation and
to force the Western farmers and laborers
to pay their tax for them; for, as the tar
iff prevents a fair competition, the capi
talist adds his tax to the price of goods,
nd the pine box which contains the cal
icoes and cotton goods of the Eastern man
nfactarer also contains his tax duplicate,
both State and : Federal. So that the
"Western laborer, in bis consumption of
goods, pays all the taxes ot the Eastern
nabob, and this is managed by Congress
men who forget thatrthey are the repre-
jseetatives of the.people and imagine them
seives only the sentinel upon the watch
tower of capital. C

The Impending Rnptnre A can-
rTtlve Republican journal
Upon it.
The following article, from the New
York Times of Deo. 29th last, will show
that the opening wedge of the late serious
diTision in the Abolition party had at that
time already been driven in. The Times,
be it observed, is a " conservative Abo
lition organ, the mouthpiece of Seward.
Its editor is Raymond, Member of Con
gress. ItBaid:
We have honed that no serious conflict
of opinion would occur between the Pres-
ident and Uongress on tne suDjeet 01 re
construction. Both have hitherto been
so thoroughly in favor of maintaining the
intesrritv of the Union, and the sentiment
of the countrv has been so emphatic in
the support ot tnat policy, tnai Benous uu
fcrences in regard to it have seemed im
possible. Certain sentiments, however,
published by authority in the Chicago
Tribune, are calculated to impair our con
fidence m this position.
Mr. Avilson, member of Congress lrom
Iowa, at the request of Mr. Thaddeus Ste
phens, offered the resolution of which the
latter Iiaa given nonce concerning reuuu
construction. Immediately alter its adop
tion by the House, Mr. Wilson sought and
obtained an interview with the President,
of which he has made a report published
in the Chicago Tribune, and copied in an
other eolumn of this morning's Times.
Mr. Wilson, at that interview, assumed to
speak of the majority in Congress, and he
informed the President that it was very
desirable that no conflict of action should
arise between them on the subject of re
construction ; that it could be avoided pro
vided the President would not press his
peculiar views, but would accept the ac
tion of Congress as conclusive : but that,
unless he did bo, he would certainly get
into ITOU Die. Al uucuu ufjiwcu, n ch
Mr. Wilson's language to the President,
" to interfere with Congress, by patron
age or otherwise, and force your peculiar
views upon Congress and tne country, you
will meet with serious opposition by those
that are now the friends of your Adminis
tration and desire sincerely to make it suc
cessful." What Mr. Wilson means by being the
"friend of the Administration" is appar
ent from the context. He claims to
have aided to bring it into power, and he
therefore, claims the right to dictate and
overrule his policy, and at the same time
retain the dispensation of its patronage.
The President has been engaged, ever
since his accession toomce, in the patriot
ic task of restoring the Union and heal
ing the wounds of war. He has adopted
a policy for this purpose which is heartily
approved and upheld by the country, ana
which is rapidly effacing the disasters and
animosities of the dreadful contest so hap
pily closed. Just at this moment Mr
Wilson steps in, and, on behalf of a pow
erful party in Congress, demands that the
President shall abandon this policy, or at
least hand over all the patronage and pow
er of his office to aid those who would set
it aside, and who propose to complete the
disruption of the Union which the rebels
failed to achieve. If he will do this,
"there can be no possible difnculty be
tween the Executive and Legislative
branches of the Government V
But Mr. Wilson was not content with
thus laying down his terms of peace with
the President. He proceeded to denounce
certain other members of the Administra
tion party in Congress who propose to sup
port the President in the poucy he has
thus far persuaded. Here is his own re
port of what he said on that subject :
" And let me add this, the so-called
conservatives in Congress, the men that
claim to be your exclusive friends, go with
yon to-day because they think it is to their
advantage to do so; but they will oppose
you to-morrow, if they shall find that it is
to their advantage to oppose you. You
will find in the end that the men who dif
fer from von to-dav. from sincere eonvic
tions, and honest, patriotic motives, are
much more reliable and trustworthy friends
than these time servers."
This is a curious and characteristic spec
imen of the Pharisaical self-complacency
of Mr.. Wilson, and those on whose behalf
he claimed to speak. They alone are men
who act from " sincere convictions." They
alone are men ot " honest and patriotic
motives ;" and their principal concern is
lest they should not be allowed the patron
age of the Administration to overthrow
its policy! .
I he country will not be surprised to
learn that Mr. Wilson failed to obtain the
assurances which he sought. ' The Presi
dent did not surrender to his demands
He " said nothing that could be construed
into an admission that his own policy of
reconstruction nad railed." un the con
trary, he seemed to be fully . persuaded
of its present and future success." And,
what was stall more astounding to Mr,
Wilson, he.M did not saj pae word to in
dicate his intentioa" of allowing Mr
YY ilson and his associates to use the pat
ronage of his office for the overthrow of
his policy and the permanent disruption of
the Union. e venture to predict that
it will never be Obtained from the President
For four years the Union party has
been fighting for the preservation of the
Union. That was the object of the war,
and it was also the object of peace. The
people will not surrender it to Mr. Wil
son any sooner than they would surren
der it to Jeff. Davis. Andrew Johnson
commended himself to the confidence o!
tha nation by bis' devotion to the Union,
by the self-sacrificing courage and pa
triotism with which he maintained its in
tegrity. It was that which made him the
candidate of the people for the Vice Pres
idency, it was that which gave him the
support of the people in every Northern
State in the elections of .November last.
Not one of the great States could have
been carried on any other platform than
that which amroved his rxlicv and cleds-
ed support to his wise and patriotic efforts
to restore the Union. The policy is gain
ing in strength and popularity every day.
Mr. Wilson and those who are acting with
him may possibly thwart it for a time, but
they cannot interfere .with ita fcnal suc
cess. And if they should unhappily suc
ceed in arraying against it the Union par
ty, as represented la Congress, they will
sbxtply compel , the President to throw
himself upon the country, withorit dis
tinction of party, for support. " Unless we
have gre&jjy mistaken his character, he
will not shrink from the trial if they force
it upon him. And, unless we greatly mis
take the temper and spirit of the Ameri
can people, he will receive such a support
as has never been accorded to any Chief
Magistrate Bince Andrew Jackson. Mr.
Wilson and his associates, in our judg
ment, will prove themselves very unwise
men if they force Buch an issue upon the
President and the people. It is wholly
needless and unprovoked. It will be the
work of faction, and not of patriotism. Its
object is to perpetuate a narrow and self
ish ascendency, not to restore and strength
en the glorious fabric of our American re-
Sublic. They can inaugurate the con
ict, but they cannot cape the swift and
suro destruction it will bring upon them.
Conversation between the Irel-
dent and Gov. Cox, of Ohio.
Washington, Feb. 27. Gov. Cox, of
Ohio, after an interview with the Presi
dent reduced the conversation to writing
and read it to the Uhio delegation. I he
President said his policy had simply
aimed at the earliest possible restoration
of peace on the basis of loyalty. No
Congressional policy had ever been adopt
ed; therefore, when he entered the omce
he was obliged to adopt one of his own.
Congress had no just ground of complaint
that he had dono so. He was satisfied
that no long continuance of military gov
crnment could be tolerated : that the
whole country demanded the restoration
of civil government: and that not to citc
it to the lately rebellious states would be
an admission oi tauure ot tne Auminis
(ration, and of the party which carried
through the war. A proper system of
pacification would be one which tended
everywhere to stimulate loyalty rather
than to impose direct external force.
Thus in the case of the Freedmen's Bu
reau, he was not against the Bureau in
toto, for he was still using it and might
continue to do so for more than a year
yet. He would say to the South: "I
will put an end to it just as soon as you
make it necessary for the protection of
the Freed men. Ihus hope stimulates
them to do right while they are not dis
couraged by the idea that there is no end
to what they regard as military govern
ment. In precisely the same way he
nau aciea in rcgara iu civn anairs gener
ally in that section. He imposed the
following conditions, namely : the amend
ment of the State Constitution excluding
slavery, the acceptance of the same amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, the repudiation of the rebel debt
and the admission of the freedmen to
various rights. To stimulate them to
accept these conditions, and in the ab
sence of any Congressional plans he en
gaged that on their acceptance with evi
dence of good faith lie would permit
them to reorganize their State Govern
ments, and as far as Executive acts could
do it he would restore them to their posi
tion in the union. They had so far ac
cepted the conditions that he . regardcf
the experiment as successful. There wai
but one respect in which these States di
not exercise their full rights, and tha
was representation in Congress. In thi
he had advised that the same principl
stimulating loyalty be applied. He woul
admit only such representatives as are it:
fact loyal, and can give satisfactory evil
deuce of it. He did not ask to be I
judge of tha elections and qualifications c
members of Congress or of their Ioyalty
Congress was its own indge and he ha
no idea of interfering with its Constitv
tional rights. His whole heart was wit
the true men who had carried the countr
through the war, and he earnestly desire.
to maintain a cordial and perfect undcii
standing with them. I
Such is the statement of tho President
this important matter, and if you coull
meet his straight forward, honest lool
and hear the hearty tone of his voice as I
did, I am well assured you could bejicvl
with me, that although he may not rJ

PEACE DOCTRINES ANI PEACE
SOCIETIES.
There is a bi-monthly journal printed
in Boston, entitled the Advocate of Peace.
It is the organ of the American Peace
Society. The American Peace Society is
in Tavor of peace 1 the abstract. Its
members are conscientiously opposed to
all violence inflicted on themselves. The
motto of the society is, " Peace on earth
and good will toward men." Its creed
teaches that no causa or provocation is
sufficient to justify a war; and that the
gospel rule, when you are smitten on one
cheek, turn the other that it may be
smitten also, is binding as well upon com
munities as upon individuals. It is op-
Eoscd to shedding blood in any case; and
as had its doubts whether force of any
kind is justifiable, even at the hands of
the civil magistrate
let, during the last five years, the Ad
vocate of Peace lias been a vigorous ad
vocate of war. The organ of the Peace
Society has urged on the advance of our
armies, and taken great comfort in the
slaughter and destruction which tij have
achieved. During the period above men
tioned, the Peace Society has been a War
society ; its members composing a part of
that class of our fellow-citizens who.
keepiug resolutely out of the way of harm
themselves, have been most realous toex
pose others to the danger of combat, and
most indignant at the manifest want of
patriotism in such as hesitated.
Some may be curious to know whether
the Peace Society was able to reeoneile
its abstract with its practical teachingn
whether it attempted to do so; and upon
what grounds it essayed to conform its
principles of I860 with its principles of
lsl2-d I. It did make the attempt, and
it succeeded ; at least, in its own opinion
it succeeded. Nothing bo easy, except,
perhaps that easiest of moral avocations
lying, now was it done ?. The answer
involves the exhibition of psychological
processes rather curious than otherwise
The Peace Society discovered that it
was not a war in which wo were engaged.
Its members were unable to see, iu the
events which occurred between 18G0 and
1865, any thing which put them in mind
of military operations of a hostile charac
ter. The arrays of men in uniform
marching and counter-marching with
swords and artillery, and penetrating in
various directions through the South, it
contemplated simply as a body of the
National constabulary a collection of
policemen gathered to aid in the execu
tion of civil processes. Our Lieutenant
Generals, Major-Generals, Brigadier-t'cn-
crals, Colonels, Captains and Corporals
were no more nor less than head catel
poles, commissioned to put the law i
torce and suppress any incidental resist
ance. The slaughter, rapet robbery.
arson and general violence were only acei
dental. The Peace Society was very sure
any other. When tho revolt in this country
broke out the blades numbered only one
sixth of the entire people ; but, notwithstand
ing they had for generations been kept in
the sad and miserable condition of slavery,
when the word liberty and emancipation
rang along they fose as ono man, and one
hundred and thirty thousand ot them array
ed themselves under the banner of the Re
public, fought bravely nnd firmly, and help
ed to secure the final victory. He also al
luded to the success of negroes in Hay ti, now
represented near this Government.
I remember well the occasion to which
the honorable and distinguished novelist
refers with" such a vivid and accurate de
scription. Hundreds nay, thousands
of negroes " had hewed their way from
the sad and miserable condition of slavery"
to Washington city, to bask in the sun
beams of liberty and freedom freedom
from work. They had been taught that
the white soldiers from the North were
fighting, not for, the Union, but to liber
ate them from the " sad and miserable
condition of slavery," and that they were
to have housos and farms allotted to them,
the Government was to keep and provide
for them, and they were to dwell in hap
py ease, luxury, and pleasure. While in
this dreamy bliss, a company of white sol
diers marched down Pennsylvania Avenue
one day? and when opposite the Treasury
building, halted, broke rinks, and with
force and arma pitched inland picked up
every negro found crowded in the vicini
ty, marched them off to the Provost Mar
shal's office, where their rags were ex
changed for respectable suits of good blue
cloth : from thence they were marched
to the island of Analostan to prevent their
escape, and, when properly broken in,
marched ofitfnto the public service. The
negroes in other parts of tho city, getting
wind of what was going on in tront of the
Treasury, and elsewhere on that memora
ble day, 7" when the word liberty and
emancipation rang along, rose as one man"
and fled in all directions some to cellars,
some to hay-lofts, some to the woods, and
others baak to " the sad and miserable
condition " from which they 'had escaped
but a few months before. ' Those who
could not escape subsequently entered the
market and sold themselves as substitutes,
through the influence of seductive and
over-cnnninr. artful brokers, for sums
ransinff from $300 to $900, Massachusetts
becoming a heavy purchaser of this arti
cle to meet the denciency in ner quoia. ;
This was the mode and manner in which
" the negro Jtewed his way out of chattel
slaverv. and struct the blow which en
titled him to liberty':" and the learned
novelist very justly and eloquently de
scribes the fact that " the negro was the
only race that ever hewed its way out of
chattel slavery to liberty " in this tray
Is not this an unanswerable argument
n favor of negro suffrage in Washington
city? Is it not conclusive to all rational
minds that the negro has iairly won the
right to compete with the white man at
the polls for the government of this city
and District? I venture to say that Mr.
John W. Forney, the disinterested patriot
of the Press and Chronicle, who is so
wedded to the interests of Washington,
and who, with other distinguished colored
gentlemen, speak so respectfully of her
citizens, will heartily concur in these sen
timents.
