ers to understand that the landing of Union
troops on the soil of that State had a
" healthy" influence. We do not say that
there is no Union men in North Carolina
and other parts Of the South, but we would
like to have credit given to whom it is due.
A Union army always has "healthy "
influence, hence we may expect to hear Of
a "healthy" influence existing in that
hell-hole of iniquity, South Carolina. The
healthiest influence We have yet observed
is the manner in which the Administration
is taking hold of the "root of evil" and
the response which it meets from every
patriotic heart. The following extract shows
how the thing is going:
1T movesw The doctrines of Ere.
mont's noble proclamation are fast produc-
ing fruit. In recent speech to his regi-
ment, at Washington, the Honorable John
Cochrane, a New York Democrat, declared
-" shall We not seize the cotton at Beau
fort, the munitions of war? And if you
would seize thei. property, open their ports
and even destroy their lives, 1 ask you
whether you would not use their slaves
whether you would not arm their slaves,
and carry them in battalions against their
masters Z" And this, and much more like
it, was endorsed fully and to the letter by
Cameron. Even the Louisville
Democrat, while condemniug Cochrane's
speech, says Let the negro be sent to
his master, it may be said. When there Is

Notwithstanding we have elsewhere init

must for the moment claim the privilege of
such conventional rules, and
llude to portion of the gratuitous advice
Which the editor of the Frontier was so
houghtful as to give us, as he observed US,
