DAYS since denunoiatory of Truman Smith and
his course towards the South:

which he has never disguised. SO Col. Fremon once

a time when such compliment conferred lar more
glory upon them than upon him. The moment now

The only demand which IAN esteemed citizen

trea, the people Of the South with the courtesy
and respect with which they treated him when

The Post aHudes to the fact tina, tho people
of Charleston once presented Col. Fremont with

Col Fremont choosed, too, to play the traitor,
he must expect to receive the traitors reward

We are not aware that the South makes much
''glorifcation'' over its hosptalities as the Post
suggests. We, at least. appreciate the obliga-
tions that their acceptance imposes and never
partake of mans hospitaties, aud turn right
around and abuse him. Neither would we nc

Smith, it seems, acts differently. and the Post
declares that he "entertains opinions in common

Northern States"
