The BsRdiH, IN is intense Uuionism, ha.
elung, with the tenaelty Of a dying man, to thr
hope that concessions would be made by tn.
Blsek-Rspubliean party, and a natisfactorJ
adjustment Of all the rugged issues would a
length be made, In its blind devotion to t,
Government at Washington, it has refused L
recognize the faet, so patent to others, that b,
Black-Republieans had planted themselves
firmly on the Chicago platform, and that the
Government would be administered BY them
on the principles therein contained. Il has
protested to believe, and o~bstinatelY commended
that they were yielding the odious doctrines
by which they had been elevated to power By
The infatuated population Of The f~ree-soil
States.

which psrvades the gallant people of that con-

its overthrow BY the very hands that created
it. and persistsntly asseverated that there
was great and growing dissatisfaction among
It's citizens. It has striven to create and
foster such discussions where none exist.
Published and ctrcuIsted 10 a southern city,
it has not struck one manly Blow against
tie enemies OF the South, but has showered
its blows upon those who were honestly
striving to uphold southern independence.
From its uniform tenor, we were prepared to
see it advocate the measures Of adjustment
which were forced through the peace congress
to be palmed of on The southern people by art

was believed to be . passion 60 strong and 40
sorbing that & would overcome their sense OF
Justice, or destroy any lingering spirit Of re-
sentiment at the wrongs AMI injuries inflicted
BY the North. But we must confess that we
were surprised at the Interpretation placed
upon the inaugural Of M. LINCOLN in its issue
Of yesterday. We give a portion Of its odito-
rial comment. The italieising is ours

this as cool impotence, asd insulting to
he common sense OF its readers. We vent ure
he assertion that there is not a citizen Of
Memphis, possessing ordinary intelligence,
who was not convinced that the synopsis Of
the inaugural, if correct, was equivalent TO a
declaration Of z war policy BY the Admins

force the laws over the Confederate States at
all hazards.
We should not have noticed the position of
the Bulleii., but for the fact that The present
hour is full Of peril for the Southern States.

our people. The issue is one in which are in

President, with the full sanction Of

and the other slave States have declared that
they will resist such tyranny exercised over

The issue lie thus clearly made between the
