Late Repentance.

Judge Hubbell, heretofore one Of the
ranting Wisconsin democracy, and man
whose record to very late date, was as
free from sympathy with the North in tie
slavery conflict as I.arabee's OF JEFF Davis,
spoke thus on a late occasion at PhiIadel-
phia:
have been one Of those who supposed,
from what had occurred in my section Of
the country, that the people Of the South
had some just causes Of complaint; causes
which ought to be, and would be, reinoy-
ed; ard that, being removed, harmony and
fraternity would be restored. But | must
confess myself deceived. We have all
been deceived.
While the South complained Of petty
grievances she was arming, at all points,
for strife. While she charged the North
with infractions of the Constitution, she
was plotting its entire overthrow. While
she clamored for a more perfect administers
ton OF theGoyernment,she was in rank with
treason against the Government itself. |
call YOU to witness, that we have borne
with the insolence and outrages Of our
Southern brethren rs long as forbearance
was a virtue; insolence and outrages,
which, coming from any other quarter,
would not have been tolerated moment
She has driven peaceabIe Northern men
from their Southern homes and property
has stripped them and dashed them like
dogs; hung them, like felons, or covered
them with tar and cotton, and hooted them
out of her society, like outlaws.
She has plundered the National Minis,
taken forcible possession of Custom Hous-
es and POST Offices; seized upon public Ar
mories and Arsenals; arrested the United
States Mails and violate private letters
has assailed, with all the elements of war,
fortress in Charleston harbor, built with
the National treasure, occupied by the Ma
tional troops; shot down the National Flag,
and hoisted hostile banner in its place.
