We are glad to see Unit even the Kadicala of the Senate have not yet reached the point which Mr Stevens has, in assuming that the Southern States ate not States, but con quered provinces, and that the Constitution is a myth. The Senate very clearly con tends that they ate .Sinen, and Mr. Sumner ridicules the iiles, suggested by the Presi dent, that t Ik; action of Congress has so ignored llieir existence, as States, as very justly to raise the question whether or not tile I'niteil Stales government has net there by obligated itm.ll, according to the laws of uations, to pay the debts of the Stales. We quote from tlie Intclligenur : "The Chair laid Ix fore the Senate a com munication from the President, transmitting all orders, opinions, ic, sent to tlie district commanders, and estimating the amount neceasary to carry out the work of recon struction. Mr. Howard, rcicrrinir to that portion of the message in which the President alludes o the sssuuiption liv the I ulteu States ot the debts ot tlie rebel States incurred before the war, said it was all moonshine, and lesigned lor party purpose. Mr. Ileudncka said the i'rusideut had not exrressetl aoy opinimi on that subject, lie ad merely niaile the suggestion whether. il the Southern States were to lie trested as conquered provinces, the United States Mould not have to pay the ilelita ot these Slates. This doctrine had been laid down by (Jovcrnor Morton, of Indiana, tuo ears ago, in a speech endorsing the President's Milic. air. Sumner sanl ti nt, as a question ol lau, there was nothing clearer than that the leliel States were rcons1Mo tor nil thetr iusl debts and obligations. The Slates still existed, and their just obligations inhered in them, mi. I colli. 1 not lie evaded. Mr. JoIiiimiii thought it was not advisable for the President to express a hviHithetieal opiuion on the subject of public finance at tlie present time, when the uetil wassotargr, anil the people so sensitive on the subject of its increase, lie didn't lielievethe Presi- lent whs correct in his assumptions. The Southern States still existed as Ststes, and not as conquered provinces. Mr. Fessenilen regretted thnt the l'resi -lent had brought this subject Ix-fore the Senate in its present shape. He did not think the Presiilent was justified in these suggestions. He regsrded them as entirely fallacious. Mr. Hendricks did not think the Govern ment ol the United States could rightfully be bound to pay the debts of the Southern Stab contracted iM-torc the war. Tlie ob ject of the war as avowed by Congress was not the conquest ol these ttlates, liut tlie suppression of the reliellion. In the event, however, of the entire absorption of the States by the Fedcial Government, it would he a practical question of great molueDt whether these Slate obligations would nol rest upon the General Government. Mr. Howard strain took the floor in oppo sition to the views set forth in the l'resi- lent's message, which he said were cslcu Intel to ahum capitalists all over the coun try. Mr Wilson -aid this message was in per- lect ko-piug w nh the action of the l'resi dent during the lnt two years. The Prcsi liil haddiuum thnt time lost no occasion lit allude to the lioiitlctl aristocracy, and say a bat he could in ilispaiagcment of Congress, sml every tiling i-imected with it 'policy of recontrn I io,i. 'I he policy ol Congress would iiM i.in the value of the national ileM, and of the debts of 1 lie relic 1 Stntes. .Mr. .Krclioghinscu w as glad that this iocs sage. uuU. with om--rmnse or endorsement in the Senate lb regretted that the Presi dent had sent in such a ilocun enl. i might have a bad . IT.il were it not that all intelli gent (ii ('Ii- would see through its lallacies. Ttrrrtf had been nweonquutl ot the. South -cm States. So the iha.triuu ol conquest could not le made applicable at all." It is a ho (Km of gratification to see that the ifi tiit i I'uion men of the StaUf heart ily approve the letter of Gen. Sickles to Senator Trumbull, in which he recommend a general amnesty. We have heretofore al bided lo its endorsement by the lUtUter, ol this City, and the Newberu JiqiMiniH. We publish, to ilny, a communication from Mr. Poll, of Johnston County, in which he also advocates the sensible and liberal sug gestion of the District Commander. It ia onlv the renegade neophytes ol Radicalism in the South, w ho were hatched on the net of secession, that denounce tin. Sickles1 letter. Onk day, in the Radical Congress, Thad. Stevens derides theconstilution as a "shat tered" hulk and as a "ghost of the past,'1 and the next day the Jacobin hadeis greet the nanro of Gkokiik Wahhihuton with "hisses." So we go. Wk i.nvitr attention to the article, in another column, Irom the Natioiutl Intelli pmerr, on the subject of the exchange and treatment ol prisoners.

Kirtl, Whatever may be the sense, or senses, in which "all meaj are rrenled equal," as asserted in the Declaration of Independ ence, we may K'srn Irom the rxninplc of Mexico that all riieu nrf nut equally rnpnble of self-government. For more than fortv years Mexico has been trying the experiment ol free institutions, ami during that long eriod she has a consistently llouiuhred in anarchy, and has so uniformly gone on from bad to worse, a to tiave convinced nit na tions, and among them ours, that she has no capacity to establish and maintain a set tled government by the elective system ; nor perhaps any government w hatever without loreign tutelage. The present condition of Mexico, which challenge the attention of the whole world, should particularly engage that of the Kepuhlicmis anil ncgrojihilists who raise so high the banner of .(ualitv. and insist that the Southern I. lucks are qual ified, not only to govern themselves but to govern us. If all races of men lire quall v capable of froe institutions, the history not merely ol Mexico, but of the win hi, n. i.U t.. be n written. Gt the nations which line tiic.l republican government how few -haw .-in cotded! how many have laihd ! On this continent, the birth place and ii.itur.it home of modem republic, our own experi ment is theouly one to which lit ciin-n could ewr poiut with pride: and even ours is L brought into doubt and ha.ai.l hi the event 01 trie last lew xears.

Admitting that our own excriuicnt was lung success! n I, and i- xi t hoeluI, .there is liltle to be said in favor ol ! any ol the others.

Hut our glib ncgropliili-ts : talk as if history went not auUlued with j these wrecks; asil the capai ily ol all people i to govern theiioelxes wire so well estab lished and conceded, that it is absuid to doljbt it, possession by liegroe- jut email j tpalcd from Wo ( cnluiii a ol ih guiding i shivery. Will they tell us what reasons there are lor stipiHising the negioes better qualified for sell government than the Mi x ican( It will not do, in the hue ol Mex ico, and the face ol so much other history, to assume that the cupucity to maintain re publican institutions is universally iliHiisi" I. and belongs to all human beings alike. If even the white people of the South, who are of the same race, and have, h e I the ame experience in the elective system as we, can mi longer lie trusted to govern themselves, by what sort of logic is it so confidently made out that the experiment cannot fail witli an inferior nice, subjected until now to the worst possible training : The great bar to tlie success of republican government in Mexico is the tin t t lint her Mipulation consists so largely ol one ot the inferior, or, if the reader pleases, one of the colored races. It is at least hall liurc Indi an, uud much ol the remainder consists of mixed breeds. There is not an instance in the history ol Ihe world ol any oft he colored i races succeeding with free institutions. - j Many of theui the Japanese and I hinesc j lor example-.-arc civilized and intelligent ; j but they all, without exception, i-.i lar as history has yet portrayed them, l.u k the ; aptitude lor republican gin eminent.

II parlies in the , North should Iw pretty evenly balanced, the ne groes, by controlling the South, and thus firning the scale, may dictate the politics of the nation.

The cry til indignant horror w hich ha been raised throughout the . civilixetl world at the execnthm of Maximilian, in which a majority, even of this nation, shares, furnishes a mirror In which the lieptihlictui party may behold its own rancorous spirit. Vengvnnce is no doubt always sweet to the avengers; it is only by those who stand in tho attitude of spectators that it is seen in its revolting delorinity. Senator Chandler and somo other blood thirsty Kadicala, who M-rccive that (he spontaneous, umilln ted horror ot Christendom at the crucify" of tlie Mexicans is a virtual coudcmnuliou of their party, stand up as the apologists of Juarez. Other apologists he has none. The Mexi cans arc acting in precisely the same spirit which inspires the Radicals. If they had had their way, Jefferson Davis would have encountered, with equal swiftness, the sm fate as Maximilian ; and a likecry of horror would bare gone up to Ilenvcn from nil nation. The indignities and humiliations which the victorious Republicans have liecn for more than two years wrruking upon the prostrate, is of a piece with the treatment bestowed by the victorious Mexicans upon their conquexed: If one deserve rcprob: tlon, so docs j he other. That cannot Ivo patriotic ardor In us which we are all quick to denounce a abominable aud vindictive cruelty in them. Senator Cbandlerinrl 'bfsfetloir apolcfi prists are right, and the civilised world right.

He had unwittingly condoinoed himself I The prophet's terrible retort, "thou art the wan!" brought him to a sense nl his guilt, which he had the candor to bewail with true penitence. The instruction contained in this story lies in its striking delineation of man's moral blindness to his ownjliiiilt which may co-eiist with the quickest and truest, nay, the most indignant, condemnation of latilts of the same kind in others. The story of Maximilian ha the wime moral Uaring as the parable of the ewe lamb. May this nation have grace to make the due use of il! . V. WrrU.

A negro for Vice Presiihtit ia coming to be the cry 'among Ihe freediuen iu all the Southern dependencies, and the cry il echoed by our brethren herewith an empha sis which means "Imsine." Home of the Radical editor are pooh-poohing tho cry, rulling it "impudent," etc., but the colored man is not to be shoved aside in that way. He knows his strength, and he fa bound to make it felt when the time come. He Is mnster of the situation in the dependen cies, and the Kadicala may as well undor stand first as lust, that be is going to have a fair share of the offices He is not only going to vote, but he is going to In. voted for, r he will know Ihe reason why. Their lavorite for Vice President thus far seem to lie a very resjaa table colored man named l.alig-t a H sideiit ol Ohio, hut if they i ann.it get him, doubtless they will lake Fled Douglass, or llm Rev. Samuel May, or any oilier icrson of the same color. From the Newark (N. J. ) Journal. The T rilnnie is throwing cold water on the demand ! the Southern iitgroc to have a candidate for tlie Vice Presidency a man of I heir own color; but the demand, neverthe less, is pressed iu a maimer which the 'J'ri huiir eople will find itdiflicult to withstand, by the AHti-SUirery Stamlnnl, who says I list without the negro vote a Republican candidate lor the Presidency cannot Imi elected. The Africans already begin to de clare that tbey will not lie used as material tor carrying elections without they reeoive a lau share of the offices and patronage. From the New tlsveli tColtll. I Ib-tialer. They manage these things lictter in Ten nessee, where ihe Radicals get their votes but refuse to let them lie voted lor. That is tlie only wny out of the difficulty. Urownlow and his party, North and South, only desire the negroes' votes. From tie Missouri Itepnhliesn, (Unl.) The colored race is creating a new school of polities and anew scierfce of government, ami the new principle now is that not to place a man in ollice is to wrong hi in. They are instructed to demand otlico on the ground that they hove a "right" to official position, and that to deny It to them is to do them a"wrong" and injury. To instruct them thus is a cruelty to them and a wrong tosiN-iety. Kxiectntiona are created never to la- realized, discontent and insubordina tion nre piodiiccd, society is disturbed, and the com nion interests of black and white are imperilled. l'nmi s lUvltiHUJWii (l's.)

We do not believe the Radicals intended it should take this direction when they inaugurated it.
