'or tlsef make a new South. This was the prac- . tical.problem. Andrew' Johnson could have solved; it in, an hour if, instead of howling about hanging people for treason, he had made pone brief proclamation coverivg this. He put tumbling-blocks in the way, fired the heart pf me JNorth. imured the South. keDt the country in turmoil, and had his crreat office cliDDed and shorn of two-thirds of its power. , Under the present bill the Southern States might have lw nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the umsncu regisxraiion, neia meir conventions,4 adopted suitable constitutions, and taken seats- in the next Congress. 1 A" great amount of money would have been saved. ' Sheridans work, for instance, was done, and, in other Departments it was nearly finished. Now jit must be done over again, with additional ex penditures. i Let this bill be well matured. Two weeks more are trivial compared with' the J-Jfeat in terests at stake and the perils of inefficient re- construction. The South must be pacified ; and our Mexican affairs must be inquired into. Uongress cannot adjourn without a rigid lUr ouiry into our diplomatic relations with Mexi- 4co. It is said that during the-war;wetwere .playing falsely, that we showed no real neu-' operations for France, and denied the Liberals fcny power, that while the people were warmly ana passionately in favor of. the 3lexican re public our Government was at heart in sym pathy with the French.! It is said that Mr. Campbell was not ordered to Mexico until after the surrender at Queretaro, that his ap pointment was not in good faith, and that he was directed to remain in New Orleans be- cause we did not wish to offend the Emperor of the French by sending a Minister to Juarez. " It certainly Iseems suspicious that during? the agony of the strife, after the return of Mr. I Corwin, no minister was accredited to Juafez. lit is even more than suspicious when we je flect that our diplomacy in many cases seems to have been dictated by England and France to have been frequently in direct antagon ism to the wishes of Congress and the coun try. So far as Mexico is concerned, our di piotnacy has been either imbecility or knavery. Our national honor has been wounded.
