Liberal and Noble Sentiments.

We do not know when we have been more graf
lied. politically than in the perusal Of the fol.
lowing liberal and manly article from the Phila.
delphia Inquirer. It's tone IL just, and even gen.
erous. So rare 10 it to find Northern journal
doing justice 10 the South, that We record this
instance with signal pleasure. If such liberal
and generous sentiments could prevail all over
the Union. we should soon be, as we ought to be.
! band of brothers again:
, THE SOUTH AND ITS PROSPERITY.
in no section Of this country has great de-
gree of uniform prosperity prevailed for SIEVE raj
yenrs past, M in the South We sincerely rejoice
mt this. and trust that gratifying condition, of
affairs may long continue During the recent
frghtful panic the South suffered but little q. M
paratiyely speaking Is great staple was in on
slant Demand and at remuneraing prices. and
the traders and storekcepers were benefited ac-
cordingly. The South at such critical MON. mt,
was able very materially 10 assist the North, and
it did The majority of our brethren in that
portion of tho Union are among the most liberal
persons on the face Of the EARTH They full of
noble impulses and generous sentiments and If
the two sections could only arrive ut q salts lac
tory understanding with regard u the slave q,.es
ton, all apprehension Of discard and disuD ion
w.ud cease at once and forever But even it'll
that question still unad usted. and likely TO form
topic Of agitation. the bond Of brotherhood be-
tween the North and South is too strong to be- Sc
riously affected We all belong to the same great
natiun. We oil inherit the same priceless politl-
cal and civil blessings. and we all participate in
the honor which attaches to the American name.
Why therefore, should we disagree, or speak for n
moment Of secession or separation, or encou ragc
zealols to do 80 for usY As a nation strongly

politically we are indissoluble we may def the
world either in arms or In arts. Torn in trag-
mens, or divided into distinct oonlederacies, how

ages to recover. Of this there is little dan

who ever md anon camor for disunion. are ut as

the South is it to realize. appreciate, and g joy

The Lexington Valley STIR. Mr.. Lecher's h, me
organ, has a curious way Of arguing. Witness the
following:
1t has been but few weeks since the Rich
monl Wing and it's e,hoes were endeavoring to
fix upon Mr. Lctcher the sin of having circulated
the Ruffner pamphlet, shortly after its public.,-
ton. Having failed IN this, they with characte.
ioiic consistency are now endeavoring to plac,
this incendiary document in every family through
out the Commonwealth.
"His i"cendidry documem!' Curious talk to
come from Mr. Letcher's home organ. Let it be
rccolcctcd that we now have Democratic authority
for saying that the RutTner pamphlet ''incen.
diary d"cumcnt,'
Further ON, i'll reply to n charge that MIR.
Lechcr voted to pay kossuth's bl'.thc Star says:
The author of the pamphlet well knew that tho
Scnatc pail the bill ont of its contingent fund and
that the House ofReprcsentatives never nppropri-
ntcd cent for the purpose.
The Senate, it is true. paid the bill out of it's
contingent fund--hut the Star is wrong in saving
that the House did not appropriate the money
The House ai,eays appropriates the contingent
fund of the Senate. When the question came up
in the House on endorsing this particular appro-
rrintion, Mr.. Jones of Tennessee moved to strike
it out. We do not recullect whether Mr.. Lctcher
opposed Jones proposition-but hc certainly did
not favor it. In fnct,we believe he was member
of the Committee of Ways and Means which re-
ported the Appropriation.
