patriotism but ordinary humanity.
In view of this spirit of prescription and madnes we are
not surprised 10 find in the Charleston News apapeT oppo
ed 10 separate State action but in favor OF southern con-
ederacy the following strong comments we nave hopes
that the violence and nfauaon OF Mr. Rhett ana MS lieu

his mischievous and frantic purposes:
The word Submssionst figures largely rs one OF those

perods of party excitement Such terms applied 10 rss

ephes their political opponents would prescribe by hire
and sword punish by penal serees but me use OF such
appeatons is of evil tendency They nourish proschpfe
feelings They prepare the public mind for the employment
of means to compel acquescence unsuItcd to the spirit OF
the ape-fur test and the other devices of enforced
compliance.
Now as we are classed with such resisants as Butler
