Letters on Bo lines will be directed : JOURNAL CO., Evsnsville, Ind. Communications will be addressed: EDITOR JOURNAL Evangville, Ind. FRIDAY APRIL 13. . We print lengthy communication this morning from our correspondent "D." We thiDk, however, that his reasoning it both defective and incons stent. We cannot regard the protection by Government of a portion of its citizens against the evil designs of their neighbors as attempting to force liberal ideas at the point of the bayonet. " D " mddi to areue that laws offensive and repugnant to particular localities ought not to be enacted, or, when enacted, repealed, because they cannot be enforced without calling on the military, and to enforce laws by the military is contrary to the genius of our institutions. This was the doctrine held by every rebel in the land, when he was plotting against the Government. The loyal people of the United States havs distinctly said that they do not so regard our Government We are a nation, working through constitutional majorities. Whenever minorities propose to defy laws, constitutionally enacted, the power of the Government must be called into- requisition to enforce them. If the oprosition . is confined to the Courts and such other instrumentalities as may be used lawfully, it will be met in a similar spirit by the constitated authorities. Bat, if it assumes the form Of armed rebellion, it will be put down by arms. "D." says we cannot maintain an army large enough to fullfil the intentions of either of the vetoed bills." He must believe, tben, that the South will rebel. If so, cannot the same power that suppressed rebellion once, do it again? The Fugitive Slave law was not enforced by a standing array, as odious as it was to the moral and teligious sentiments of the Northern States. Now f the South is actiag in good faith in pretending to accept the result of the struggle for ber independence, no difficulty wjll be experienced in enforcing the Civil Rights" Bill so far as its provisions may be required to protect oppressed blacks If they are acting deceitfully, and are only possuming, in order to get a foothold, intending all the time to ultimately so frame their laws as to re-enslave the negroes in tbe South, the sooner tbeir plans are understood the better, and the Civil Rights Bill if it accomplishes no other good than stripping off the disguise in which the Southerners are operating, it will be a blessing to the whole country. We think, too, our correspondent misapprehend : the cause of the great anti-slavery .3 volution which has taken place in the North. It was not the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law, unpop ular as that was in many parts of the Northern States, that solidified the antislavery sentiment of our people. That measure was acquiesced in by all the great political parties, and was actually asolved into a, finality. It was the con tinned aggression of the slaveboldiog interests, (after securing the Fugitive Slave Law), in the repeal of the Mis souri Compromise, and the compromise measures of which the Fugitive Slavs Law was a part; in the Dred Soott de. cision, and the aggressive war upon tbe freemen of Kansas attempting to force slavery upon them contrary to their wishes these measures it was that aroused the great North, and resulted in preventing the further spread of slavery. The Fugitive Slave Law was enforced without any great standing army. It was bitterly opposed, but through the courts alone. Tbe peopl of the South have a right to oppose the Civil Rights Bill in the same way. But to say that because tbey don't like it, it ought not to have been passed, is absurd. "Mo rogue e'er felt tho halter draw, With good opinion of the lew." Oommajiicated. The Vetoes and the Situation. It is an established fact, in the history of national government, tbat laws, to be successfully administered, must either be acquiesced in and agree with the sentiments of the ruling class of tbe com munity for which they are designed, or they most be the offspring of coercion usually of military despotisms and con stantly supported and enforced by t powerful and numerous body of soldiery When tbe district is large, tbe num ber must, to be effective, correspond with the extended sphere of duty, for they must be distributed among the in habitants. When not thus supported, tbey become dead laws, of which there are always numerous examples cum bering the statutes, which are the objects of derision and contempt, and the evidences of tbe incapacity of leg' islar.ors who cannot be taught by expe rience. Whatsoever morsels of wisdom law-makers woo make a habit of over looking these principles, do acquire, are paid for at the dearest prices; and not they only, but tbe people, also, whom tbey govern, bear a part in the obliira tions to be discharged. These are prin ciples of political economy using the term in its largest sense which cannot be denied from which there is no re treat. When the community for whom laws are passed repugnant to tbeir accustomed habits, disputes the right of tbe authorities who do so, and who proceed to coerce obedience, the spirit of resist ance is intensely magnified. The deter mination to defeat the intentions of the attempted -ruling powers, becomes energetically venomous, and the opposition vastly prolonged, to laws, perhaps, in themselves both admirable and just Laws which, under more judicious auspices, might soon have lost their repugnant aspect, and been rapid ly, if not silently and willingly acquiesced in by tbe inhabitants; laws even of manifest advantage, whose purposes tbe people approve, with whose predisposition they coincided, are seldom viciously and violently resisted wnen thus attempted to be administered by authority to which the subjects are inimical; the right or propriety of whose enactment and coercion they dispute. History affords numerous examples of those situations with those results, and posterity easily perceives and regrets that the rulers had not wisdom and fore sight enough to have followed another, a better, a more just and geperous policy. The community would of themselves have fulfilled the law by its own executives with alacrity, where it was not utterly distasteful to them. Tbe design of enforcement by officers whom they regarded with aversion, or as unauthorised, aroused stubborn hostility. Our own fugitive slave law is a notable instance. of an uncongenial enactment, anose unaccustomed and offensive previsions generated industrious and persistent efforts to defeat its success, the object of which was still recognised as proper, and wbich had been, and would have been continned to be, as faithfully fulfilled as any similar one, is tbe old, proper, and constitutional method.

It may be true that " revolutions never i n haokwards." but it is also true that t wuiru, l&" . . -- .i they are frequently attended by subsequent convulsions, revolutions and reactions, sometimes for lengthened psriods. Tbey also always tend to excess. The victorious side is apt, in tbe flush of success, to be too confitfeirt; and' when, in overcoming presumptions, unwarranted, and aggressive dispositions or tyranny, it often falls into the very error or errors from which it had Kaon nrnnaed into resistance. It often seeks to maintain sod propagate its own views, by the very principles ot action and tee precise measures woicn had induced it to enter into the contest. The reformers were remarkable examples of the truth of our remarks. They fought for civil and religious liberty, and th right of private interpreAaiiasv; ? in despite of their principles they be came intolerant They adopted the tame means and measures to propagate tbe reformed ideas, which they had encountered all the woes of revoliftion and civil war to overcome. Tbe trfetb was, the habits of thougbt and action under which they had been educated, and which were the habits of the civilized world, were too much for their principles. Happily, they soon soon in the life of nations renounced the old erroneous methods again without reservation or return. But they, in the mean time, degraded the name of tbe reforma tion, retarded the progress of liberty, truth, and justice; forever stained, the reputation of their high, noble, generous, manly, their God-given principles, which are also those of an, uncorrupted nature. The successive French revolutions have ben bnt the repeated overthrow bf tbe hereditary despotisms, with tbe unpurposed establishment of new orders of noble tyrants. Their philosophers couia nrooUira liberty, eauAiity, traternity, but thev knew not how to establish them. In undertaking to do so they at tempted to force liberal ideas at tbe point ot the bayonet, and became as intolerant as those whose former place they occupied. Tbe people, perhaps, were incapable of sustaining free institutions, but tbe philosophers seemed to be unaware tbat the practice of freedom ana free municipal, as of all those species of Governments, can gradually only arrive at easy working order. It ia a proiecs requiring time; it is a growth and must be by natural means. None genuine are the hot-house growth ot a day. None genuine, assured, and fully developed, are tbe coercive results of a day of cannon and bayonets. Free institutions may be ordained and set a-going, ' but time alone and practice can secure and perfect Natural causes, f tbe people s principles are not funda mentally erroneous, .will then educate the community to the situation, by the assistance of the ordinary law and police department If not thus, tben the idea ot establishing what we understand by freedom among such a people is a fallacy by coercion, an absurdity. To be worthy of freedom, a people must themselves be free in mind, and proas free principles Look the world over where are the freest governments? Certainly thev will be found according to where tbe minds individually and in mass are freest, and according as the population does or does not worship tyranny and tyrant-making principles. The Southern people are wrong by habit, not fun damentally. The revolution by wbich William, of Orangs, became Kincr of England, was tbe shortest successful one known to the history of Europe, a 3 it has been the most enduring and progressive. William was bred in the best school of liberal ideas, and moderation known to those days; that of tbe Netherlands. He did as much as in him lay to modify and control the virulence of parties in Great Britain and Ireland. He was but partially successful, particularly in the latter unhappy country, but the grand results of the policy which be supported if not initiated, are witneseed to this day. The adage of " none so blind as those wbo will not see," account in some degree, for what failure there was. lbn wise moderation of the victorious hero, King of the Jews, on the suppres sion of rebellion is not unworthy of notice. It would be an incalculable mis fortune if the ultimate results of tbe suppression of rebellion should be a change in the chief acknowledged ax ioms and practice of onr Governmeut Signs of imperfection in the practical workings of all human systems and institutions must ever be obscured. In deed, nature herself is not without ap parent irregularities and clashing laws and interests; so, though our organization of State and General Governments may seem sometimes at cross purposes, and often interfere with the perfection of justice, still we maintain that' tbe sacredness of each within its sphere, with the undoubted supremacy of tbe general constitution and the laws deduced therefrom, is the best safeguard of a common liberty. It allows a freedom of action, of experiment, of improvement, and of expansion, which can be obtained under no other system ; and this without danger of convulsion thereby ensuing. The vagaries, idiosyncracies or absurdities of sections may be indulged freely without danger; without affecting materially the great Against interference with tbe immediate internal affairs of States by general Government officials or courts, when that was to enforce what conflicted with onr sentiments as we were, we are still as unalterably of the same opinions, when similar measures are proposed for tbe purpose of enforcing with our ideas of troth and justice. The effect of the first unconstitutional injustice, was to cause a remarkable revolution of public sentiment in the North, and a reversion of party ascendancy, in direct antagonism to the efficiency of the measures; ind after its enactment the object of the law never was as well accomplishedas it had been under the previous legitimate methods. We cannot maintain an army large enough to fulfill tbe intentions of either of the vetoed bills They would, we verily believe, da much harm ultimately to the race tbey were designed to benefit Either of them would keep up forever, if maintained so long, a chronic state ot exascebation and rebellion. Tbe reason for these bills is the state of public sentiment, of feeling in tbe South, which is doubtless inimical to the personal rights of the class in question. Those bills would certainly have quite an opposite effect than to change those feelings for tbe better; and yet tbat change is tbe only hope of their ever receiving justice, the only hope of a peaceful and satisfactory settlement of the relations of the people. The General Government, we are well assured, can never so com monly overlook the domestic affairs, as to procure justice to the negro by direct means; and would never, never again obtain the loyal services of the Southern people under such a sys tem. The country would never again be at peace, at least not for many long years; until death and immigration bad changed the constituents of Southern society. Perhaps not even those powerful cause could effect the object. If left undisturbed by direct conflict of authority, while not neglecting the indirect, time and the education of Southern opinion, of the negro, the gradual accommodation of society to its new relations would effect all we desire. Legislation never effected any good where public opinion was all but universally opposed to it; it has always bad a diametrically different effect under such cirensaatances. The General Government, in onr view, should cease all special legislation concerning this question, and should require of the States to expunge all statutes of tbe same species from their records; thus conforming to " tbe Constitution as it is." We do not believe in any kind of protective legislation beyond the common lav. Let tbe negro have the benefit of that and he is quite able to take eare of himself. The Southern Legisla-

Let him der the -common law; that is require Appeal to tinted urts will declare all these anitutional. and by appeal only hse tbe United States any plain and obvious constitutional right to say aught about tbe internal administration of State affairs. No race of people ever attained to anytbing worth speaking of without passing through tribulation and suffering in every stage of their progress; and in trying to enabl-s them to evade tbess, we may be tbe cause of tbeir failure to rise altogether. Of the attempt to alter and guide the social habits of a people by direct interference, surely every one knows tbe irresistible results confusion worse confounded. We have much faith in the influence of altered conditions, interests, and the influence of uhnsnan principles in con junction therewith, and time to effect an entire revolution of Southern senti ment; not omitting general education, the efforts of benevolence, the moral of the General Government, and if necessary, its physical. But we have not the slightest in legislation, or coercion from outside. The negro race may as well "hang up tbe fiddle and the bow," if bis salvation, his elevation depends upon us in any other manner than that to which we have alluded. We repeat, there is no dependence to be placed in compulsory measures in producing a reform of Southern sentiment and conduct. 1 hey would be as necessary fifty years hence as at their inception. If tho Southern dominant race will not be taugbt by past history; if tbey will not be actuated by true and Christian principles, let them learn by tbeir own sufferings that tbe base of society cannot long be kept in a base, brutal condition, without mischievously infecting tbe entire superstructure to its utmost apex. There must be either improvement or deterioration, a process of solidification and growth, or crumbling and decay. They may depend upon it, that a society which is not benefited, wbich is not exalted in its very aspect by the elevation of its basis, is yet to be observed on earth. D. Negro Equality. We have always regarded tbe Democratic fears of negro equality as not without foundation. We often see items indicating that the drilt sets that way. At our last Mayoralty election several good and influential Democrats brought out a negro for Mayor, in opposition to the present incumbent, and cast for him several votes. We learn from tbe following card that tbe Democracy of Madison, Wisconsin, have been doing the same thing. It is not astonishing that Democratic girls should inscribe upon their party chariots, " White Husbands or none," " Fathers, protect us from Negro Equality," when their fathers, husbands, and brothers are voting for negroes for offices of honor and trust Tbe card we print was published in tbe Madison Journal, April 4, 1866, and is as follows: A CARD FROM MR WM. H HOLAHD. As I understand tbat tickets are being printed and circulated to-day, bearing my name as a candidate for Mayor, I deem it necessary to make tbe following statement: Yesterday afternoon, at about three o'clock, as I was passing the come? at the Bank of Madison, a large crowd of persons assembled (here accosted me, and began telling me tbat 1 must be a candidate for Mayor. Some of them said that Mr. Hyer, editor of the Democrat, wished to see me, and that I must go with them to bis office. They took bold of me, and insisted that I should go. Supposing tbey were only intending a little fun, I thought the easiest way would be to -comply. Accordingly, I went with a dozen of them to the Democrat office. Mr. Hyer received me very cordially, saying that be was anxious that I should be an independent candidate for Mayor. I said I supposed that they wished to have a little fun at my expense. He insisted that he was in earnest, however, and tbat tbey wished to have me be a candidate. Mr. Hyer sat down and wrote a card and asked me to sign it, announcing myself as an independent Candidate' for Mayor. I declined to sign i, but added intending to be understood ironically by the " Democratic " crowd who were, as I thought, seeking to cast a Blur on the Union party, instead of complimenting me tbat I was in the hands of my friends, and if they insisted on voting for me, I could not help it. Thereupon I left the office. The tickets bearing my name are, as far as 1 can learn, being circulated by Democrats and vod by Democrats. Perhaps they intend to compliment me by these votes, but when I consider tbe antecedents of tbe Democratic party, and its recreancy to freedom, and its in fidelity to tbe Union when assailed by treason, and its invariable and malignant hostility to conceding any rights, except the right to labor under the taskmaker a whip, to my people, I cannot feel complimented by such votes. While I can understand their unfortunate plight in not being able to find a -man willing to head tbeir ticket, they ought not to expect me, or any man of my color, to soil his fair fame, and his new birth into the rights of citizenship, by voluntarily lending himself to their purposes. t , In conclusion, permit me to say tbat I am a Union man, and have to day voted the straight Union ticket If any Dem ocrat wishes to compliment me, let him go and do likewise.
