70 defend the rights Of the South, or
are truly its cause, the papers here are en-
ged in lulling the South into false Sc

s some votes, but IN the public press, as
now stands at the seat OF government,
e North has a controlling influence
he press Of this city takes its tone from
at ofthe North. Even our Southern press
subjected more or less TO the same inau-
Ace, Our public men, yes. our Southern
en, owe their public standing and reruta-
On Too often to the commentator and
false of the Northern press. Southern
ewspapers republish from their respective
arly organs IN this city, and in so doing
produce, unconscious doubtless in mos
stances the wrong they do, the Northern
pinion in relation TO public menand mea-
Nres. How dangerous such a stale o

e%nIatives it is needless to say! They ali

alter this state Of things, so far as tn.
South is concerned. We have vast inter
ests which we are bound by many consid
e%rations 10 defend with all the moral and 20
iacal means in our power. One of tn
lrst steps to this great end, is to estabIis
Southern organ here, a paper throug
which we may commune with one anothe
and the world al large. We do not pro
pose to NEEDLE with political parties as the
pow exist; we wish to enlist every South
