The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1862-07-08

"sympathizer," bat is really "at heart
loyal man" The delightful announce
ment is Immediately repubIished in somo
Northern papers, and The officer falls into
delightful reverie over the beautiful
sentiment "Peacc hath her victories no
less renowned than war, and looks for
ward to tho day when he will be
a candidate for the Presidency, in
which event he is sure 70 get the
support Of bis Southern rights" friend
who is now on the stool Of repentance.
We have seen this worse than ridiculous
policy followed in Kentucky and in this
state al nauseum. Meanwhile the Union
men, most of whom in the slave States
belong to the middle or poor classes" !
who are unable TO rival the planter or mer-
chant in giving elegant suPpers or fur
nishing coslly,wines and cigars, are cool
ly showed aside, and if they complain
are told that they arc troublesome and
oficious. Thus loyalty IS discouraged
and droops, while treason is petted, en-
outraged, and actually prospers. One
of these fine rebels when he heard Of the
failure TO kill Lieut. FOSTER said that he
was sorry the id Federal was not kill
ed, He carries a letter Of protection in
his pocket, we are told and under its
shield blasphemes the government and
its supporters.
The incidents we have recorded are but
few out OF thousands that we have
witnessed. We protestagainst this whole
policy Of Cancellation in time Of war.
It isno time for us to try to conciliste
men who have hate in their hearts and
weapons of death in their hands To
try to concilatc is to embolden them
II is ruinous to propose compromises and
plans Of adjustment when the air is lacen
with the smoke and resonant with the
roar Of battle No government in the
world ever pursued such policy and
succeeded Wherever il has been tried,
the loyal men cry in bitterness that it
has failed signally. We must coerce and
subugatc treason and traitors, and put it
out Of their power 20 harm the loyal
power. We will conclude by giving the
plain but overwhelming testimony Of the
Norfolk (Va) Union ON this policy Of
Cancellation, as that policy has been tried
longer and to n greater extent in Norfolk
than in any other city. The following
, are extracts from an editorial headed
e " Cancellation"
II cannot be urged that the people here
: were deceived in any way, in regard to
the true sent meuts of the North upon
all subjects Of political economy in which
the South was Interested When the
plague afflicted this devoted city, North
p ern men and women hastcned to aid the
suffering people. Northern money flow
ed to this point in streams, and self
sacrificing people devoted their best en-
ergics to succor the distressed There
could be no MISLEADING the sympathy of
he North in the hour of atlliction. 1t
spoke in trumpet tongue of an undying
. friendship, more than brotherly regard.
G No city in the Union has been more in
, debted 70 the fostering care of the Gov.
I eminent than Norfolk; she has been, so
! to speak, the pet of the family. The
establishment of the Navy Yard here,
: has raised the city into social position,
s and the lavish expenditures TO support il
n has brought wealth to her citizens. Com
mercial Importance came in the train Of
= Federal favor and the city has grown great
j. aud powerful under the genial sunshine
e of q benelicent Government Where do
4 we find the city to-day Eorgetful of
q all the past, regardless Of all calls Of
gratitude, there are leading men here,
u who passed through the dreadful ordeal
e Of the plague and experienced the kind
ness of the North, and who have been
h all the time growing rich at the oX-
u pense Of the Union, in open rebellion
= against the Government which has fos-
10 tered them, and reyiling some of the very
10 men who gave their substance to aid
q them when sore oppressed by disease.
7Hey are sulleH, disconnected and obaUrate IN
y Their opposition To tie Government and per-
e sia7,tly aldeat0r 10 carry others Nth them

Il oUe,ta,n idt0 and oy8er anil establish an an
arcIy an their stead, They exhibit an in
r tense Hatred OF Northern men, and in
o every possible way seek to annoy them.
= Can any sensible man really believe that
N these men, the leading seoessionists in
Norfolk, can be reached by any act OF
b personal kindness 10 themselves or be
c won over to the Union by q smile, a
r pleasant word or a small favor bestowed
- upon their wives or daughters by those
!, having the Temporary administration OF
v affairs Can such men, who have shown
d utter disregard Of all claims, grateful and
o loyal be expected 10 regard the Govern
: mcnt with any more favor NOW than they
! did year ago, simply because they are
treated with more consideration than
a they deserve? We are Of those who have
4 no confidence that such result can be
70 realized They have experienced iayors
before, and often, and noted them not
