AGAIN. The South processes friendship LOT Int
p-os;dsnt. and is Satisfied with his position as TO mat
tsrs in Kansas. Thus far, then, we are authorized Il
nrasume, that 1.-THE South" is our ally. So be 1t
neiphbor. Let us have a joint campaign aga'nS
those disorgsnizing politicians who are stu intent o,
attacking the President, and charging HIM VIII
treachery to the South in his management OF hansa
affairs. Crack your whip boldly over the heads o

not lend a helping hand to strike at politicians VIM
are engaged in unjust assaults on the PRESIDENT
Pardon us then, nsighbor, but we cannot rely ltn
plicitly on your friendship to the President.
II vould be unjust to 1.-THE South" did we conclud
this article without referring to its recent enhghte"

South says:
"Unless they imply some inputatlon Oh uu"orm ~

Compelled to write from the impulse OF the uio n
and often to pronounce an opinion upon lmPoL.a AZ
questions, without any adequate opportunity o' &c
search and reflection, it is not at al! surprising 'ho
on more mature thought he sometimes corrects u
| conclusion of a too precipitate Judgment
Now that 10 what we call sound, sensible taiK'-
Worshipful readers, our pupil shows symptoms G
decided Improvement. As his pedsgogue' we ar
nroud to proclaim 1t. We must admit that he is mil
taken in the assumption that his own inconslstenc'e
furnish mere examples of 'self.contrad'ction on q
;mmaterisl matter" But he has begun to be dill
den. in the assertion Of his opinions, and has Iearne
10 psuss in the midst of a burst OF constitutional irr
liability, for the cool expression Of sound ph'losoph
cal sentiment.
A parting word Of comfort. Our pupil need nc
suffer under the cruel apprehension Of our approach
ine decesse. He has been deceived IN his tends
forebodings on this subject. The Enquirer wi
continue to outlive many generations Of recently G
tsblished presses, and when ''The South shall SIN
into a youthful grave, it will be our task to pronoune
a funeral discourse which shall certainly be compl
meutary, and which we will strive TO render r
thstic.
