i 4 nFIslsEE AND FIR ATERNAL,

The snbjoined genial ana friendly paragraph
appeared in the Cincinnati Gazette of the 9Th
i instant:
THE RiGHT NAN IN THE RrGHT pLAcE.--The New
Orleans Secessionists exnlted over Gen. Twiggs,
who arrived in that city yesterday. The cowardy
scoandrel, who delivered the forts to the Texan
mob, is fit guest OF the robbers of the mint, and
they are the proper entertainers Of the Arnold OF
the nineteenth century. We suppose Judah T.
Benjamin was master Of ceremonies. unless official
duties detained him at Montgomery.
The Cincinnati Gazette is, unquestionably, the
most influential Black Republican paper published
in the State of Ohio; and probably no Journal
printed and circulated west of the Allegheny
mountains wields a 1.-THE Of the influence it does
over the President of the Northern United States
and his Cabinet counsellors. We are thus explicit
in regard to the political status Of the Gazette in
order that the above elegant paragraph may be
properly understood and duly appreciated by our
readers.
Well, our whole population turned out to do
honor to Gen. Twiggs. The members of the Con-
yention. truthfully representing the primary sover
eighty Of the people of the Commonwealth, by
formal resolution, welcomed this scowardly scoun-
drels to his home. He was greeted with the roar
ing Of cannon, the thrilling strains Of martial
music, with the highest of military honors, while
scores Of thousands Of fair women and brave men
hailed his return with such manifestations of sin-
cere regard and admiration, as might well excite
the envy of the mightiest and most popular mon
arch in Christendom.
Consequently according to all legitimate logical
differences, if the statement of the Gazette be
founded in truth, the welcomers of "cowardly
seoundrel' canno be much better than sscowardly
| scoundrels' themselves! What deplorable atti-
tude for the entire people Of great State to oc-
cnay Will they be able to survive the burning and
consuming wrath of the Abolition newspaper
thunderer Of Porkopolis?
4 We fear not; for while Gen. Twiggs is styled a
6cowardly scoundrel, we are ssigmatzed as ''the
1 robbers of the mint The terms Towards
ssscoundrelsn and 'frobbers should all be Jumped
| in together, the connection between the epithets
being unmstakable; and if they had any truthful
| application to Gen. TWiggs and New Orleans, no
doubt Gen. TWiggs and the people of New Orleans
would feel very bad about it. But, as the Gazette
| man was undoubtedly abiding to his own political
General, the COMMANDMENT Chief Of the Army and
Navy Of the Northern United States---.Gen. Lin
cola.--and to the Black Republicans Of Cincinnati
and the North, we have no reason to feel uncom-
Portable in the premises, and can well afford to
overlook and forgive an accidental slip Of the pen
and consequent misprint.
The people Of the South should never forget such
amiable and fraternal exhibitions. The entire
press Of the North, which elected Lincoln, teens
with evidences Of unalloyed truth and friendship,
similar to the one above quoted from the Cincinnati
Gazette; and the Lincoln leaders and orators are
not whit behind the Lincoln editors and presses
in telling the Southern people how much they love
them.
In view Of these circumstances, ought not the
Convention, which meets next Wednesday, to take
immediate steps toward bringing Louisiana and her
people back into the fraternal and loving embraces
Of Aboticndom? We may lacerate their tender,
afectionate hearts, il we stay ont much longer!
