The general feeling . and sentiment
with the true friends of reconstruction,
North and South, will be, that' the opin

meaning of the r reconstruction plan of
Congress, but in many essential points is
in direct antagonism therewith. ; ;
If the will of the representatives of the
people is to be thwarted embarrassed
in this way, we :feair. more trouble, and
excitement is yet in store for us. It will
