No diipawiosite of ctadid nun eta fsil to rejoice that tbe war ha terminated and that the territorial iategrity of tb country has been maintained. Tbe secret of tbe final ucccm of our rai io the gigantic eottcst, is to be found not in th policy of tb party in power, but in tbe trong determination of our whole people not to permit th dismemberment of tb Republic, and for tbe hit two je&n of tbe war the South truggled leu against a restoration of tbe Union, than againit that policy which threatened them with total annihilation as a people. The clash of arma is no longer beard. Tbe sound of tb eannoD of Antietam, of Chancellorrille, of Gettysburg, and of the Wildernew, where whole arraiea disappeared, has dld way; and for tome months the only military display Is at baa greeted the eyes of the people baa been tbe retiring columni of our citixen soldiery, returning with glad and hasty steps to tat bosoms of their families and friends to resume once wore the peaceful atocations of the citizen, and that gigantic army of more than a million of men, which a few montha ago abook with its martial tread tho whole continent, has agaic been rolred into its orignal elementa. The war is orer; but a yet, one cannot aay we hare reached that point, where peace, permanent peace, has been secured. We linger yet In that uncertain state which follows tb shock of sue cssful battl; that proceeds the establishment of law and order and ctril rule; and before we can pabutof this uncertain state to the hoped for condition of a re-established Union.we taust solve certain difficult problem that are before us. If we fail in this, then the present condition of things may prore but a truce and another deadly atrit may be before us. Of these problem?, the ujostdilicult and dangerous id tbe restoration of the States lately inrolfed io the rebellion to their proper relations with the Federal Gorern ment. In fact, it may be said that this is tbe sum of all political questions standing betweeu us and pcrmaLent peace, and that all others spring from it. The difficulties ia the way of a eucceealul eolutiun of this problem do nut so much arise from the principle iorolved as from the nature and character of tbe political element with which we bare to deil. If the States of this Union had beeu homogeneous as to their institutions before tbe war, no difference of opinion could bare ariden on. tbe subject of restoration of tbe Southern States to their former .political relations, for then there would have becu nothing U reform, aud all that would bare been required would hare been submission to the Federal Constitution. But this was not the case; and as the war bM resulted in the complete revolution of tbe social and industrial systems of the Southern States, tbe great question is, bow shall that restoration be effected, and at the a tine time not restore the former relation of master aud elave, between the white population of the South aud the Atricau race now called " freedmeo." We are quite ccrtaia that whatever opinion may Lave been eutcrtaiucJ of tbe policy which bo directed the struggle aa to compel the eauncipaiiou of the slaved, that no one can demre to eee the institution of slavery again established in the Und. While we condemned that policy a ulueccessaiilj protracting the war and greatly eubaDciog tbe chances of success of the rebellion, by compelling the people of the South to be united in their resistance, and were most anxious that tbe war ahould cease by a full restoration of constitutional rights to tbe Southern States yet, siuce tbe war has terminated in tbe destruction of slavery in the States lately involved in that rebellion, 8 prefer to face tbe dangers and difficulties of the negro question, in its present phaes, rather than to return again to that coud lion of divided and discordant social relation that was the immediate cause of the war, and that lent such fierceness and vinJictiveness toils progress. In the adjustment of these questions, it must be conceded that the executive arm of the Federal Government will have a controlling indu-t-nce. It ia the first in contact with tbe civil organization of the Southern States, and is the only one which at this time has any direct bearing oa tbe work of reconstruction uow in progress, and therefore at no time in our history have the opinions of the Administration been as potent for good or evil as at this time. No one disputes the fact lint, sooner or later, the Sjutbern States mun form integral parts of tbe Federal Government, a States in the Union, exercising all the local powers which can or may be exercised by any other state; but the time, the mode and tbe manner form the "questions" of the dav. That impracticable element called radic.il, which forms tbe moral force of tbe Republican oriniittion, sad from wbo$e baleful iatluences have sprucg all of our National difficulties, insist that the Southern States fhtll be treated as conquered provinces, and at some distant day, at tbe end of a long time of pro bation, and after they shall, in some form, have consented to enfranchise the now freedmeu" be again admitted into the Union under such term! and restrictions as a corqucror may impo.e. The other branch of the Republican party admit that the reidmision of the Southern States may take place without thi long delay, but that such meaures uiu.t be taken by the Federal Government, in connection with an amendment of the Constitution ou the subject of Federal representation, as will iu the end compel the enfranchisement of the negroe. Thus, both wings of the Republican pirty are in favor of forcing negro suffrage. The only difference is of time and means. Tbe one iasiu that it shall be immediate, or at leat form one of tbe main conditions of tbe re-admission o! the Southern State, the other that it shall result at some future time from tbe principle upon which they shall be re-aJmitled.

Uut, in 1 "32, the year ia which the Republican party in this country, io Britm1 concert, organized for systematic war ujon the Southern State, on account of tbe perfects of African descent held to service therein, the same operations wer; carried on in Jamaica. Say the New American Cyclopedia: "In 132 great agitation on the subject of slavery per

vaded the Island, and led to violent acts on the part of the coloniits ajaitst the Missionaries, the Abolitionists, who were Charge! with incecdiary conduct; and were guilty of it, juit as tbe Republicans were ia exciting insurrection and murder in the Southern States. The slaves rose in rebellion, and were subdued with di faculty. On May 14, 133, the English Government passed an act abolishing Slavery, which, however, did not fully take effect till Augu-t 1, lr3?, when all tbe slaves were emancipated. A compensttioa for the ilaves was graded by the British Government to tbe owners, the tstal amount of which ia Jamaica wai eii million one hundred and sixty-one thousand nine hundred and tweaty-sevea pounds, eqaal to about thirty millions of dollars. Since 1?33 great efforts have been miJe to civilize, christianize and elevate tbe blacks, by enablishing cbnrchee, schools, paper, A.c., kc. As an evidence of the susceptibility of the negro to inch influences, in addition to the horrid details of tbe existing butcheries in the Island, furnished by current reports, we add the exports of the Island for 1333 and lbö7. In lc33 tbe exports were fcj.lQl! hogsheads of sugar; iu lb57,3o7l.W. In 1933 there were 31.976 puncheonsof wice; in lbo7, 15,a32.. In 1H33 there were 755 casks of molasses; ia lsi7, none.

Our friend of the Journal seems to object to a reference being made to tne history of the transactions leading to the late civil war. When we, with the Democracy generally, went in to put down the rebellion, the advice of our Republican friends was this: "Oo in with us to put down the rebellion, and then look to the causes and tbe responsibilities afterwards." We accepted. and acted upon this advice; and we reasoned thus ith our Democratic friends upon it. We said, suppose two neighbors, they have large families, and are in close proximity. A portion of one of the families are continually insulting, abusing and interfering with the domestic concerns of the other, till, at last, tbe latter gets irritated to that degree that they arm themselves with clubs, Ac, and make an attack upon tbe whole family oo account of the injuries a put of the attacked family have inflicted or threatened to inflict upon the whole of tbe other. Now, the attacked family, while admitting tbe outrages perpetrated by a part of its members on tbe attacking family, s.'ill must all unite in the fight to save their own home and perjns from destruction. Self-preservation compels them to this. They announce and act upon the sentiment, "Our family, right or wrong." Rut, after the fight is over, they ought to turn round and give thoe of their own family, who provoked the quarrel, a sound drub bing, to teach them to behave tbemelves in future, and avoid another fight between the fami lies. It was satisfactory tj to support the war oa this understanding, aad we did to. We should have to do the nie thing agtiu, we tuppoe, io like circumstances. JIM ax am) ins ritii:3D toi'ii:ieiii:ai. The Journal charges us with making an intentional misstatement wheo we said that the Governor clas-ed Mr. Julian and his friends as being Copperheads. We chall endeavor to make truth and courtesy two ruling points in our editorials, and we state to the Journal that the authority on which we made the statement as to Julian's being a Copperhead, or as bad as a Copperhead, was, it we remember rightly, the Richmond Telegram, in reporting the substance of the Governor's late speech against Mr. Julian and his friends at Centreville. The copy of the paper was sent to us at tbe time by a friend, aud we did not preserve it. We have looked for it iu order to quote the exact language of tbe report. What we stated in the ilk&ALD was from memory, and we believe the statement substantially accurate. We refer the Journal to the Richmond paper above named, as we suppose it has it, and we have not, and if tbe statement is not in that, to the other Richmond piper. Itmu?tbe in one of them. Are we to understand thatJiLiA has already got the Governor down so that the latter is seek i uz to conciliate him? DP.ATII OF MM. JlKMSO, OF KIHT WAIMK. Hon. Mösts JiNkiNsoN, a prominent lawyer, leading politician, mo?t estimable citizen and worthy man, recently died at Fort Wayne. He was a leadiog member of the House of 'Reprtsentatives.a few years ago. The death of such a mu is a public loss. t5f" A gentleman recently accompanied a lady to a ball in Nashville, and during his temportry absence, the left the ball room and married another gentleman. Returning, she informed her escort that the had found a husband, and would be compelled to go home with him. There was some astonishment expressed at this romantic episode! H$"Mr. Rowles of the Springfield Republican gives this advice: "Those who would visit the Pacific States under the most favorable circumstance for seeing all their natural beauty, and ttudyiug all their improved resources would do bet to come around by sea in February, and go home overland in September or October." t5TThe reaon stated for Gov.

i.ima am tiii: ri:r oath. Hon. A. H. H. Stvart, elected to Congress at the recent election in Virginia, has written a lengthy letter to the New York Times on tbe test oath prescribed by an act of Congress for tie qualification of members of that body. Accordilz to h s coDtructioo, he cannot take the oath, and if his premises are correct, be is not eligible to a seat. After quoting tbe oath he says: that tbe liDsriare of this oath is exceedingly broad. It is limited, as your ed.torial article would imply, u iboee 'wno participated in tbe rebellion,' but the penalty ol disfranchisement from every Federal office, legis-la-tire, executive and judicial, is denounced aain-t all who will cot iweu that they hare 'given r.o aid, countenance, toai-elor encouragement to persons engaged in anted hostility thereto.'

Thus he whole 1 te population within the pre-cribed aes re 'trigged in armed hostility to the Cnitei Mies and concequectly, according to the terms of the oath, every one who gave aid, couufeuance or encouragement to any persouia the Confederate States between the atrts of seventeen and fifty has incurred the penalty of disfranchisement.

John Henry Dtvis, a young man liv'mj iu Guilford, Dearborn county, recently married a tascinatiDg youug female at Louisville, and brought ber home to his parents.

"While opped U any participttion of thenegres in the atlits of government, he itronjly urgM the wdmi-ility of bia testimony In tbe courts of jjetice for or against white persons and recommends tbe passage of an ordinance declaring that no person hall be incompetent as a witDe$3 on account of hi color io any matter civil or criminal, whether tbe State, or tbe life, liberty or right of persons or property of any colored person is concerned. The parage of an ordinance declaring the ordinance of secession null and void is recommended; and an additional ordinance annuliug or ratifying such other ordinances and acts parsed during the war as the interest of the State requires."
