Gov. Horton on Reconstruoticu.
From Oov. Morton's great spoooh at Indianapolis on the 10th ult., nc extract tho fullowing paragraphs, wbich wo com¬ mend to the attention of om readers. (Juv Murtun i.s one of the most cloi]'icut cliuin. plons of Kopublicauisiu in the States, aul withal liboral iu his views. Contrnst his plnn of reconstruction with ihnt of An drew Johnson's, and then say which is correct. After declaring hia pri'fcrcnoc for the admissiou of Tennessee, and advo¬ cating lho pending Constitutional Amend- merit, tracing the history of roconslruo- lion up to tho present tiuie, he elaborates his views aa follows:
In this work of rcconstruclioii, .so ciillcJ, two leading purposes should bo kcpl in view.       •
1. That nothing shall be done to injuro or deslroy tho general theory or scheeino of Goveruiueut as bequcutlicd to us by our fathers.
2. That suoh secnrity ba tuken as can be, lo prevent the recurrence of fuluro rebellions, and to prevent thuse who have been in rebellion, but are restored to their political rights, frum defeating necessary legislation, or bringing about 1 'gislntion which would bo treasonable ur dishonora¬ ble, and thus accomplishing in the Qovern¬ ment what they had failed to do by foroe of arms. If it shuuld bo deemed essen¬ tial to thc safety of the Uovornineot, thalli| honur to the nation Senators nnd Representatives from the States lately in rebellion, should nol be admitted to seats in Coogress until (ho r,epreseDtative power of tlmsn States had been so rednoed that they could not by uniting witb trcasonablo faction in tbe North, oontrul the Qovernment and per¬ haps destroy it, Coogress would have tbe right to exclude the members from suoh Slates uotil such timo as the measure of reduction bad boeu aooomplished, provi¬ ded suoh meaaure of reduction is not in violation of the general theory and scheme of tho Qoverninel, and is within tho esaen¬ tial power of Congress. In this caae, tbo measure of reduclion Would be an aniond¬ meut to tho Constitution equalizing tho representation in Congress pnd io tho eleoiion of Presideot and Viae President, by taking from tho white people of the Southern Statea the right to represent aod act for four millions and a hulfof no- groes whom they deprived of politieal rights. This measure, so far from viola¬ ting tbe gooeral theory or sohemo of tho Qovoromont, is in aooordanoe with it, because it gives to the same number of people in the North, ao equal power witb
ri.ss bo adopted to guard against future rebellions, or the consequences of tho ono from which wo hnve just esoaped ? Twen¬ ly Senators frnm the Rebel Stoics, added to tho preseot number of Demooratio members, would constitute considerably moro than one-third of that body, und would effectually prevent the adoption of any amendmcnl, and would thus secure to the States, perhaps for all timo, tho gross nnd wicked inequality of representation which they now possess. If it shall bo said that upon tho cunclusion of a rebel¬ lion, rebels shall have a right to run from thc battlefield, or from the lioor ofa rebel Conirress back to scats in the Congress of the United States, in time to prevent the adoption of any amendments of tho Con¬ stitution whioh nave been rendoiod neces¬ sary by tho clisngcd oundition of the coun- { try, or the enactment of such laws as are required to prosorve the fuluro peace of tho country, it is bnt to repent in another form the rebellion is no offence, and that the Governiuent has no right to protect itself from destruction by legislation or arms.
If, when the Uovernment was trying to borrow mooey to prosecute the war, it had beeo nnO' unccd ihatas .sonn aslhe war was over—the question of making appropria- lions to pay thn interest on lho money borrowed, would bo referred to the voles of Uebcl Congressmen—I nsk how much money could havo been borrowed 1" If, when wo wore calliug for vnlunteers to fill up thc loyal armies it bud been pro¬ claimed that tho flrst effect of pulling down the Rebollion would bo lo HII up Congress with Rebel members, who would have a right to vute on all questions grow¬ iug out of the war, on all questions of la conslruotions, bnnnlics, pensions and military honors, 1 n.sk how mnny volun¬ teers we could have obtained '/
And I submit as a jcnerul proposition, lho( rebellion cannot bo disoouruged, treason made odious, loyalty encouraged and patriotism rewarded, if whon a rebel¬ lion has been suppressed, rebels are ad¬ mitted to mako laws for tho loyal and ad- miniater the affairs of aGovcrnmont they havojust failed to destroy.
Tho position I nm combating is abhor¬ rent to the eommon sense of evory man, nnd violative of every principle nf justice, nnd yet is that upon which the Deinuernt iu leaders of Indiana havo planted them¬ selves, and from whioh tlioy are going forlh to do buttle against the country. 1 am for amending the Constilulion so as to equalize the repreieotatioo for throo rea¬ sons :
Fint: Beeauso it is a measuro of abso¬ lute ju.sliea in itself, and removes an ioe- qualily whiuh will bc oppressive and in¬ tolerable.
Second: liooauso it would so roduoa tho power in tha Government of thoae who havo boon io rebelli lo, that they ooold not, by uoiting with a disloyal fac¬ tion in tbe North, work misohief and dis¬
people tn tne rtortn, ao equal power witn a liKa number in the Soutn. It deprives tha people of the South, of no just rights iMMiua il leaves to them tbe enjoyment of tha samo power that ia possessed by tn eqnal number io tha North, and surely they onght not, by reason or juitioo, to uk for more. This measura would b« teaompliahed by nn amaodmeot to the OoDtiitntioo, whieh ia alwaya in order and proper. Thoro is nothing revolutionary ID amaodiag, l)ia Constitution ; on tha oon¬ trary, it iu a safety-vnlvo, provided by ita-
'Third: Ueoauso it would present to tbe peoplo of the Southern Sales an in- ducomeot to confer political rights, in due lime, upon a largu negro population io tbeir midst, wbioh, otherwise, thoy might not concede for mnny generations.
DEMOUaATIO I'VRPODEa AND POLICy.
And now let ns inquiro what measures tho Democratie party are fur alRrniatively. It is snd has boen opposed to whatever tho Union party is in favor of, but it hos also a positivo and affirmalivo polioy, whst it is important thatthe peoplo should understand. The great and loading meas. ure of ils policy is the immediate and un¬ conditional admission of a full representa¬ tion of buth Houses of Congress from the rebel Slatea ; that tha test oath shall be repealed; that tbere shall bo no pnnish- ments; that there shall bo no politioal or civil disabilities imposed upoo any man who haa been engaged in tne robollion ; that tbore shall be no amendment to tho Constitution to muke it conform to the ohanged eireumslanues of the nation; that there shall ba no legislation to pro¬ vent the reourranoo of futuro rebellions; but that Unioo men and rebelt. Union soldiera and rebol soldieri ihall bo put npon a perfectequality bafora the law, and that no bonon or rewatda ahall be extend¬ ed to tho one whioh are not equally be¬ stowed upon the othor. In proof of tbia last position let me refer yon to tha nolo- riooi faot that ia their ipyeobea and newspapers tbey battow brilliant and glowing paoegyrios upon tho genius aod virtuea of Geo. Loe, but are sigoifiuAullr silent about Qrant, Sherman aod Sheri¬ dan.   Tbay   weep   oopiously   over   tbe
wif'by which rev'oluliont" are avoided by   memory of Stonewall Jaoksoo,  bul have   "woolly heads," &o
not a tear to shed for the untimely death* of Lyon, Kearney, McPherson and Haek- leman. They mourn from day to day over the fictitious suffering of Jeff. Davie, but havo never yet expressed a regret for the murdered thousands at Andersonville and Salisbury.
These thiogs point to Ibcir feelings and their policy with the unerring certainty of the nccdio to the pole, and leavo the ra¬ tional mind wiihout the shaduw nf donbt aa to what thcy wuuld do should they again eome into control of tho Govern¬ ment. They are opposed to cqaaliiiog^ the representatiun Nurlh and Soitlh, be¬ cause it would diininis'.. tba puwer of tho rebels in thn Government.

The UesiBge. President Johnstun seems, like Uncle, Tuby, determined to rido his bobby. In seasun or out of season, in publio speeches, meusiigcs, couvorsatiuns telegraphio des- patches, talks wilh dclegatiuna, tho ooe purpuse of his Presidcnlial life ig to iteep his hobby io view of the people. If thore is nne thini; the world knows, it is that Andrew Johnson lias eertain opin¬ ions nu reconstruction, llo deals wilh -that subject very mnch as hard-beaded doetors deal with medicine, and wooden- headed theolopriana wilh divinity. An¬ drew Johnson's hobby thus far has prov- ed very harmioss, and has dune about aa much towards rcoonstructiug tho Uuion as tbe elaborately constructed bastions and parallels of, Unclu Toby and Corporal Trim did towards the siege of Namur. Tba danger with every hobby is lhat wo have too much of it. Thero may bo savioe grace io a Ptaebyterian oateebism—bqt must we all ba burnod who do not beliavt the divinity of Westminster ? A square- toed doctor who blisters and bleeds may save a patient now and than, but must we blister and bleed all sick penple became this ono medicine man finds his bobby in hia lancet and oanlharidesf
Mr. Johnson rodo bia hobby into Con- ¦grass 00 Friday. Nobody wanted him, nobody expected him, nobody fell thai be had any busioess thero.

Still this practically amonnU I to nnthing. Tho statesmen of CuogreM j are doing iheir work—aa well probablvaa ean bo expeoted—but searoely as rapidiv as tbo country would hava it Thu right ipirit ia among thcm, and Fight will be dono. Aa for our Unole Toby, let him go 00 riding his hobby—and if ho iniiaU t upon riding Into Coogreai, why ou harm I will oome, and lel him bo gmlifled for tbe ' sake cf all lhat he haa dono, aod the hope that ho will aoou aoa that tha nalion oan- j not bo aaved by oonoeuion and surreai^^r.
