at the late election in the North, and
the filing their places with black re-

"We are sorry to see a growing
disposition on the part of some OF our
contemporaries oftbe Know Nothing
press to cultivate friendly and frater-

Ing and fanatical traitors, whose polit-
ical career has been one Of unremit-
ting hostility to the constitutional
rights of the South. We regret to
see Southern journals apologizing

their incendiary sentiments. We
are grieyed to see them rejoicing in
their triumphs, and offering them
heir sympathy and support in the
war they are waging against the peace
and perpetuity Of this coniederacy.
But We behold such a spectacle to day.
Humiliating as it is to US as Sout bern
men, We are compelle d TO admit that
the enemies of our institutions
the anti-slavery fanatics of the North,
have their friends and sympatbizers
in our midst. We have noticed
the attempt Of the Louisville Jour
: nal and the Nashville Banner to
mitigate the just Indignation of their
readers against such men as Lincoln
and Greedy and Corwin. and other
leaders of the abolitionists, and we
were panied TO observe that men
: who had devoted their energies and
: their talents to the extinction Of
i slavery could find apologists at the
South. But in addition to this
