CINCINNATI SENTIMENT.


The Cincinnati Commercial, which, for a Black
Republican paper, was q toleraby decent journal
during the canvass, seems to be now afflicted with
downright insanity and madness, since 1t has been
asoertaned that Lincoln is elected President.
Listen to the mild conciliatory, and generous Ian
guage which it employs in commenting upon the
position of South Carolina:
II Is true, South Carolina has slave population
of 3S4 1884, or about 10 0a0 more than her free in
habitants But this black element, SO far from
being fortress of strength is an element Of weak
ness. In a struggle to maintain her independence
of any foreign power, she has got to fight not only
foe In front, but enemy in the rear She has
got in all probability, not only to repel invasion
but 10 suppress resurrection. Her stdCes mould BE
found Formidable incubus upon her success In 1e
0rduoHs enterprise, Citieh SIZE seems inclined 10
uadertdke, Of setting up for herself as an iade-
pendent nation.
Yet this little greedy gasconading State, with
her handful OF white men, and with no actual
wrongs whatever to redress raises her defiant
crest against nation of thirty millions, and swears
she viii seeede from the Union! Why. You might
as well talk Of the towns poor seeding from the
4 town-as one of the orators of New England said
in somewhat similar. We pay the entire
bills of South Carolinn for her, support her mail
service at 0 heavy annual loss to the treasury,
catch and return her runaWays, Guide Boston

sons with fat Federal ofices--and she turns round
and abuses us like a pickpocket just because the
dent whom she chooses not to like. Bah, South
