We need but4 go hack a fow ye:irs.
in the history of this Government to
learn a salutary and useful less-:i,a
lesson of mercy ! We well remember
the horrors of the civil war through
which we have so recently payed, those
dark and bloody days of a j:reat na
tion's for life ; the scenes oi carnage
and of death, of desolation, of grief'
and despair, arc still fresh in lacm'ory ;
we lift the veil of a few years ago and
see rising before our vision the smoul
dering ashes and ruins of sploudid and
beautiful cities, magnificent 1 homes
embellished with all the attractions of
art, and furnished with the richest
luxuries of wealth, are laid waste and
destroyed, the angel of death' has un
folded its dark pinions over every
household, and the banners of mourn
ing drapes its gloomy folds over the
threshold of every hamlet, myriads of
dead . lie wrapped in the bloody m;m tie
of war,-while the Hag of . our country
waves over thousands of the slain, and
yet, ere the sou nd of the last jun had
lost itself in space, or the smoke of
battle had been swept awav, there came
a voice through all this chaos of war
aud of death, proclaiming amnesty and
pardon to the conquered sons .of the
South, and every man, with bu,t -few
exceptions, who yu&TTttly
against the Government of ta'e United
States was almost instantly pardoned.
I am informed, in fact it is a part! of the
history of the country, that the nnes
ty proclamation of President Johnson
was but a reflex of the pnrpoifi aud
sentiments of the assassinated Lincoln,
who, in my opinion, was the fcd friend
of the South, connected with that-administration.
Many of the leaders of
the rebellion found safety under this
pardon,' men who,, at the beginning of
the war were tho most violent and
bloodthirsty, and loudest in tlieiu.de
nunciations of the oppressions of the
South, '''and by whose influence and
voice the ranks of the army were filled
with our noblest sons, were tho fiftst to
take advantage of it. and these same
men were the first to march with bands
of mueic at the head of tho eohmm of
the array of our victors, while tieir de
serced friends aud comrades were urag.
tred behind in cantivps chains: and
now to-dav, some of the bitterest op
nonents of this act. this act cf Mercy
are found amon sr that same class of
men. ' '
If the Dartv which had coutrol of
the Government at the close of the
war had administered it with n eye
single to the happiness and prosperity
of the people, and withia the limits of
tne Constitution of our fatner, ana
had not conducted legislation or per
