Be of good Cheer.
Il-a.tering on the path of peace,
we ,e- at a gliance that the questions
tiost p.reseinlg for the profound atten
tion of the people of the States recen
lyy opTposing the authority of the
Fetleral Government are those on
which in the higest degree, their
toture prosperity depends. It is rof
the utmlost importance that all such
njuestiolns should be amply discussed
and well and wisely and promptly
decided. A great work has to he
accomplished, and it should be per
frrned energetically. 'Th'lle most im"
nediateleiultportant part of this work,
after the re-organlizationl1 of Stat,
government in all its branuclhes, is the
adoption of such measures as shall
be deemed buest calculated to promote
thie most speedy and safe retovery
froll the direful effects of war. In
the perfection of such mneasn.es the
people of "l classes are deeply inl
roerested. All the intelect, the practi
cal knowledg and ability, and the
energy of the States should be de
voted to it. Althlioughl 'grim-vi-age
tvar" has inflicted terrible disasters
aid devanstation upon these. States
and sorely impovished the people,
tihe prospect of early recovery from
ith.- Illigt that has been cast on their
l>rosperitylisby no means dishearten
jog. In fact, the obstacles, great as
thy undonbtetlly appear, are only
cih as, wthen canrefully surveyed,
ti pelople. animated by patriotism
tand zeal, and with well directed
wrtgyi cani and will quickly cause to
li-appli-ar. '('ounrage mountetlh with
-cctjniot." To entertain a doubt
that 'ht- peo'ple of the South and
Suwtlwi-est are. not equnal to the work
to hei accomplihell would be utnpardoiln
ableI. T'h14 evidences that tlihey Ilhave
givenl to the world of their during
ant det-rminatioon in wrestling with
ittd ov.-rcominig difficulties, satisfy
us tilhat ;eitt unitetd will speedily free
