The AJcItm, AUopieJ ?? (|,P I nion Electing: In Cooper institute. Aew York. Last Week_A Good I.oo uiucnt for tlic Times. Just previous to tlio delivery of Mr. Sowartl'aspeech at Cooper Institute, in New York, lust Thursday night, the following address wis read to und adopted by the Immense gathering: It is the right and duty of the people at all times to discuss the acts of their public servants, and especially when grave public quostions are depending, rhe present is a time which demands such discussion, both because the ques tions pow before the country are of great magnitude in, themselves and .because diflerentviewsprcvuil In tlioXejffiiative and h*ecutivoDeportments oftheCiov ernincut. We hope these differences are not irreconciieable; and in order to promote a final agreement, the peo ple should interpose with an eipresiion of their own opinions. The issue of tho wi|r, glorious to our wS. ii"h,"">r|',A ?"0"s IVirthe freedom w Inch it brought, leaves upon our hands the great task ot pacification. This is the first question. Every other is sub ordinate to it. All attempts to pervert the occasion to purposes of party, on whichever side, aro unworthy of just far" * lsc'rolls lo tho public wel c?"?,try needs is repose. The conflict of urtns has'eeasdti; Uie conflict ot passions, which led to that of arms, should coaso also. The alacri ty with winch our heroic soldiers have returned to peaceful pursuits is not less honorable than, their victories. Thcv cherish no enmities toward those whoiii they have overcome. They did not fight for vengeance, but for ';tho Union, the Constitution and tho enforcement of the lajvB." They now want a firm and lasting peace; not merely a cessa tion of armed hostilities, but public ' 'L'!wy ?ant und wo want all the channels of business to be re opened, and tho whole people left free to repair the waste of war, and tho Southern peoplo lo regain their places, if they can, as loyal citizens of one country, with one Constitution undone destiny. The element for disturbance, and, as we think, the only one, to the poltical condition o! tho freed men, the late slaves whom wo have emancipated by the &ueat .Constitutional Amendment.? there Is n6' substantial disagreement among loyal men respecting their Civil righto. Wo nil agree that they must have ull the civil rights of any other class of citizens- thorights of per son nud df property, tho right to sue and to testify; iu short, they must have equality before the law. Hut whether they shall alBo'have the Biifirage'is the dividing question Thoso who insist that they should have it, do so ciiiolly on these grounds. . .Some of them say that the elective franchise is a nuturul right; that every person hns a just title to participate. in the enactment of the laws/by Which ii6 Is governed. Others say that the blacks aided us in tho sup pression of the rebellion, and therefore a.h?uld b? endowed with tbe privilege of participating in the government of the country which they helped to save. Others still maintain that the suffrage is the only safeguard of the colored race for the preservation of their freedom and civil rights. On the other hand these propositions ' are denied, a#d two other considera tions aro put forward; tirst, that in re spect to the States, whether those latelv in rebellion or those which have ever beefa Ioyalj' ihe- Federal GbVernme'nt has no right to Interfere with the ques tion of the elective franchise; and second, that in respect to the District of Columbia and the territories which are legislation of. Congress, the qhe6tioii is one of expediency,' de pending upon tho circumstances of each Particular case; the elective franchise eing not a right bnt a trust, and that wherever great numbers of the blacks are in an igh<5ntnt nhd ddbifsed coadi F??V&P9uid PG unwise and dangerous J-? the.^suffrage. Tiie&e are the opposing themes, and it cannot be denied that the Judgment which men will form upon them depends much can theory inherited from the fathers W"1 guard tilth BcrnjJulbus fidelity the rights of the States as they wero re serve h3r,lhe}Q6n$titutldh. It will bo remembered that the tenth amendment of, that.instrument declares that ?? the powers noLlierein obligated to the Uni ted States by the Constitution, iior pro hibited by, 1C to theState* arc resefved to,.fee States respectively or to the people." Thoro can be no question whatever M10.P??er of determining who shall, and who shall not3 enjoy the elec tive franchise belongs exclusively to the respectiveStates. -New York has no more right tp say who. shall or who shall not *vOCO in Virginia, than Vir ginia has to Say-who snail or who shall not vote in^pvrJYork. Over the pistrict of Colupibia the power of CbngVeks is no'doubt plenary, but It is a power to be exercised not onljr for the, inhabitants or the Diatrict, but for the whole country. Our Con gress, our Presidont, our Judges, our W>iuefc$Iiuisters, .the, Ministers of for eign States, our treasury, our archives, are there. We. must provide for the 55??^! comfort, and convenience of all tB6se persons, not less than for the sftjely, QQtufbrt and convenience o'C the other inhabitants. To admit into the government of1 that District all the b'?"!?a, wAo may flock into it from the adjdlnlng States rorVr&iasnee,' without discrimination, iaan net of revolution aryfrensy.., To say that a like discrimi nation exists as to tho whites is no answer. It is bad to'have a .thousand ignorant voters?it is worsd to have twn though it shuld 'be'd" furthor' even right, but a wSw'jS them, then every sojourner among us. every foreigner, the moment he lands, is entitled to a. vote, for he is as ranch governed by our laws as if he had al ways lived upop our soil. Xo. baye a voice.in the election of the magistracy Sh^HoW^fhf!' ffiBSSTof th?2iS.n?^ih!hbi'^ka b've Tor the country, that does not necessarily giye them a right td govern :it, or par ticipate in iu government. If it were otherwise, every boy from 16 to 21 who fought iu tbe Union ranks, and there ^re>j1-2n!tand* aP*"} thousand? ofsnch, jhw# PV^you>, instead',of Waiting for years lo participate in the govern ment to which he 1s subjected. -The blacks fought for a country and they haveSt; they fought Jbttheir free dqmand, the/ have obtained it. Pot thanks to God, tbe sua or this glorious morning.has. not. seen a single slave through all th? o rrbroken la ud from sea ?ea. We would welcome our eman ciputed brother to tBa. rights of maft j(Vt would takeliiui bv the haml ana bid him stand ,up and "be of good cheer, for henceforth no man can call himself his master. But when we are asked to give, all the uien of his nice ft the moment of their emancipation right to. participate in the Government we must answer in the words of their own number, more intelligent' than many others, white or black, "the able bodied puly bear arms, the able-mind ed only should vote." To insist that the black will hot be protected iu their freedom and all their rights, if they have not the elective 1 ranch ise, is to forget that. by, the sec ond clause of the Great Amendment It is provided that "Congress shall have1 pp wcr tp en force this article by appro priate legislation." It is also to forget that the .men and Sii"e'.iSouth"are ?r "Ke senti ments and instincts with ourselves, and cert?]nly, may be expected from the r regard to their interests and from their sense of justice. ? & 5s *ji$Wpj% feature, of the' Freed meii'sUill, which the President has just vetoed, that it took the blacks under the protection of the Federal Govern ment as if they were not able to take care of themselves, whiiethe same per dependent population a large share in the government of the country, i T/10 ?xcluai?n of representatives in Congress from the ^ Rebellion can only be justified oh the theory that those States are not in the Union, or that no proper elections have been held, or that the persons elected cannot take the oath prescribed by Congress as a test of loy alty. The first theory is opposed to the opinion and practice of the whole North during the war, and the last cannot apply, because the oatli has not been tendered to any person claiming to be a representative, the sec should seem also not to be held, for there does not appear to have been any investigation before the regular committee on elections of the regularity and fairness of the respec tive elections. Some other reason is supposed to exist, aud that a desire to make the exclusion' a means of com pel ing those States to do something wlilcb they CO 1 lei not otberwiso bo com pelled fo do. This is an unjust proceed ing and an unsafe precedent. Con gress cannot, of right, do indirectly what j it cannot do directly. Wo are bound, therefore, to express our con viction that- the.oxclusiQn.asjreprusoiita "ves from the eleven States which are now unrepresented in Congress, of loy al men, who were fairly elected, and can take the oath, is a manifest usurpa tion. *; ? !.Fellow-citizens, the maintenance of the constitution, which is but another expression for the, fidelity of the public servants to the trusts which they have sworn to execute, is of-more value to the people of this country than the rise or fall of any party, or the success or failure of any measure.' In the present unhappy dififerenco between Congress and the President, the latter, in obedi ence to his s<*nSo of constitutional duty, declines the vast patronage and power, civil and military, which the former would give him. We honor him for believe the whole country will do as much. It knows that no man has suffered more,1 Or struggled harder for his convictions. His loyalty to his country, and his devotiou to all classes of its people, are .unquestioned ; and while it does not become ireemen to promise, beforehand concurrence in all acts'of any public servant, we express to Andrew Johnson our confidence in his integrity, and his fidelity to the principles in reference to which he was elected ;?nr hearty commendation of the general doctrines of his two messa f;es, and our readiness to support hiin n all constitutional measures for the public welfare. FROM WANIIINGTON. A Conversation Between Gov. Cox. of .ObfO, and (lie I'rentdent. Washington, Feb. 20.?Tbo follow ing important letter was read to-night by Governor Cqx, of Ohio, to the Union Representatives in Congress, from that State. Washington, Monday, February 26th, I860.?Gen. Geo. B. Wright, Chair man of the,Union Central Committee, Columbus, Ohio: Dear Sin?On Satur day last I hud tho honor of an inter view with the President, which I re garded as of sufficient interest and im portance' to ? make it proper' that I should reduce ..to writing my remem brance pf -his, statements whilst they were fresh in; my memory, si pee he seemed to me in a perfectly free and unpremeditated conversation to oxhibit. with peculiar clearness the processes of his own mind in, reaching some of his opinions, aud to express them with such manifest candor and entire free dom from personal feelings that I could 1 not. but think- that if he would consent to it, good might be done by making his ^statements public. 1 Accordingly I again waited upon him this morning to make known what I had done, and to ask his verification , of the truth of my report, and his consent to make the samo known to the country. Although he. was!entirely unaware of my purpose to reduce,hia remarks to writing, un'd I myself had up suc|i intention when I first called upon Kim, lie most frankly gave his consent/ Arid assented to the accuracy of. Wy report; which is as fol lows: , ? ?' He said ho had no thought which he wfW<?tTillin? tO'Own. Thatiiia poli cy had dimply aimed at tho earliest possible restoration of peace on tho ba sis of loyalty. J^o Congressional pollcj' had ever been adopted, and therefore when he entered upon, the duties of his offlcqthe was obliged to adopt one pf his own*. 'He had in some'sense inherited that of Mr. Lincoln,, with which ho thought ho agreed, aud that was sub stantially the one which he has carried out. Congress had no just ground of complaint that he had done so, for, they had not seen fit to declare their views or'adoptnny measures embodying what \v6qld be called rt rttlfcy Pf restoration. He was satisfied that no long Pontinu arice of military governments could be tolerated. That the whole country would properly demand Up? .restoration of a truly civil government, and not to give it to the:late|y.z^belIious States, would be an admission of. the failnre of the administration, and of the party which hiid- carried . through the war, to prove themselves equal .to the exigency, now tbtit the'work'ol destruction was over and that' Of rebuilding ha'd beguh. Military.government atone would not pacify the South. At the end of a long period of such government we would be no nearer, and,-probably not so near, the end as now, and would have the same work to do. H^nce, there is a real necessity of adopting a policv which should restore our government fully, just as soon as.the rebellion should be thoroughly ended; and thoseconditions accepted, by.the South which were to be regarded aaabsolntely necessary to the peace'of the country. , Ope central idea had controlled him in'4he whole matter, and this was that the proper system of pacification should be oner which tended everywhere ftp stimulate the loyalty of the p?ople of the.South themselves, and make it the spring of loyal cpnduct and proper leg islation, rather than to impose npon them.lawsa^d conditions by direct ex ternal foriee. Th'n?. in the case of the freedmen's bureau he' was not against the idea of the bureau intoto* for he had used it and was still using it; It might continue for a period or more than a year yet. He had contemplated that either by proclamation of his own, or by spme action of Congress, a condition of peace, the technical end the rebel lion, would probably- be declared at some period perhaps, not very remote, and; as he understood the present law, the bureau might continue in a yearj from that time. Meanwhile, 'he could say HO the 8oatb: "It depends npon yourselves to say whether the bureau shall be discontinued at an earlier day, for I will put an end to it just as soon as you bv proper action for the protec-1 tion of the freedmun, make it unueces- | ""rfcus anid he, the hope or petting rid of the institution stimulates theiu 'o do ( what is right whilst they are not dis couraged by the idea that there is no hofi of an end to what they regard as , n sort of military government, n, ? i niB other hand, the bureau were to be made a periuuneutthing, by which, in its face, apfiears partrfvthe fixed lawof tbe land, all of the objec limvs he had urged in his message up pliftd in.full force to it, and instead of encouraging the South to loyalty, you tCD<no <frtve them to desperation and mako their hatred of the government inveterate. Thesameprlnoipleofslim ulatimr loyalty was shown in the nian ner in winch fie held martial law over them.

In precisely the sauio way /nd ?n.?J the influence of tho same idea he bad acfed in regard to civil affaf* ly in tbut section regarding itn?l-?s ( surv and proper to impose wP0Pth?,f^ belfious States conditions which would | iruaraiiteo tbe safety of the coun- j trv and regarding tho then ex,8t" j u,g' affairs of tho local governments !?b have disqualified themselves by their treason for eo n I i min^e in \ power; he deposed them and establisb cd Provisional Governments. Then lio asked himsell wiiut conditions oiight to I be demanded of them, and liow their disposition to accept them in good faith might bo stimulated.

They have so far accepted his c<?" ditions that he did not regard the ex periment a failure, but a 8"c^*p had accordingly reorganized tho Post office Department everywhere among them had reopened trade and removed restrictions thereon through the Treas ury Department, and ih like manner in alUhe Executive Departments recogniz ed them as States in the Union, only keeninir enough of a military hold to factory evidence of this whenever a State or District sent a loyal man, pro nerlv elected and qualilfed, lie would Phink it right to admit him, the same lis from any'Other State, and be would admit none but such loyal men, so that olher States or districts Wight tois be V&SSS t hey '?had'dono tTn'"th^'s Vhelr <ZTe,TuT>,lyZ' nlan He did not ask to be tbe judge ot She elections andqu?1 iHeationsofin ein tinrs ot Concress or of their loyalty.

Gayety of tbe l!oo?ier Capital, A-c. IxdIAXAPOLIS, Feb. 25, 'GO. Editors JnieUigencer .* The 22d of Februniy was celebrated here in divers ways, not the least of which was the Union Convention that met for tbe nomination of State offloera. The meeting was, of course, ??harmoni ous;'* and ended in nominating good men lor the various offices. The ever^ lasting negro came in for > his usual share of attention, furnishing a theme for the "radicals" and "conservatives'" to dwell on. One faction thought the' negro wa8 either man or not man. and if man be ought to vote, holding there should be "no taxation without repre sentation." The other faction could not come to it iust yet; however, things w0T?Leti ^ main, and there was no "bolting," though the feeling was bitter at times. . The Presidents course, as far as "constitutionally" practiced, mis endorsed, but rather ftebly, and an effort to "do it more," "went up" by a largo majority. Yet, tho majority ol the people, I am sure, endorse the Pres ident's veto, and they will stand by the man they put in a position to reach the highest office in the gift of tho Ameri can people. I believe it was the vole of the Indiana delegation that made him a candidate for Vico President. The unterrified have not held a meeting lavish praise and promise undying attachment to the President for his veto of the Freedmen's Bureau Bill I notice a ?telegram in tho dailies here" that such a meeting was held at TV reel ing, at which the Mayor presided. Why was this honor not alio wed some "brave Southern heart" who rushed Vto arms! j?*?arX ?? 7? know the Maypr did not; the "spirit was willing, tut the nfr? weuk" Valfandigham got off a congratulatory effort ,***1*1?** of tho news of thi9 veto. He donbtless thinks the prospect fair for the breach in the ranks of tbe "glorious democracy" to be closed, and the "cohesive policy of pub lic plunder" to cement them more ?rn>.y lhan before ho " went u jouruey Things connected closely-with our Into war are fast passing away, and in a little timo nil will be a matter of his tory only. The State Sanitary Com mission closed its affairs recently ,. w?? Perhaps the best State organi zation in existence during tho rebellion. Its effects were felt not only by the In d ana soldiers, but by those of every State as well. During the existence of this organization there was contributed in cash by the citizens of the State 008, nnd goods valued at $359,000. The articles left on hand were sold In this city at auction, bringing good* figures us relics. The balance left in ?5?h of soldiers' claims against the govern ment, that the collecnon of sncli ciafms may cost the soldier nothing. Indiana cannot be reproached with the charge Xufonf her S0'di0rs ln 'h? war ot The "signs of the times" indicalo a disposition to better tho morals of our y puUin,K temptation in the way of ^n?n1myi stcals away the bra'in" outof circulation.
