One view may be taken Of the recent North.

ophy.
The proof of the controlling predominance
Of this;conservative sentiment was afforded by
their patient endurance of the commercial
policy Of the Federal Government, which had,
by tariffs and navigation laws for more than
fifty years, continued to saddle all the public
expenditure upon the planting States, be-
sides imposing burdens upon commerce
which constantly accumulated wealth in the
North and extracted it from the South. Not
only did the Southern people submit to this
policy Of the Government, but they seconded
the policy in their own private expenditure

double price, in preference to any other, and

Nothing but the brutal and truculent policy
Of the radical party at the North could have
eradicated this deep rooted sentiment from
the Southern bosom and united them as one
man in support Of the war. If the wisest
men Of the South had been called upon to
suggest q course Of policy for the North
which would most effectually secure the final
and rrevocsble dissolution Of the Union, be-
yond sll possibility of reconstruction, they
would have indicated the violent and fendish
course which has been pursued by the Govern
ment and armies Of the so called United
States. The radical party, having possession
Of the Government would seem to have gone
to work with malice aforethought to break up
the Union, and to render all further connec
ton with it the most abhorrent thought of the
Southern people.
This party have been Of eminent service to
the South, in the mode and character of their
proceedings, not only by consolidating public
sentiment and combining the public energies
at home, but by thoroughly disgusting the
foreign world with the Yankee cause, and en-
listing the sympathies of the good the wise,
and the great of all lands in behalf Of the

succeeded in impressing the foreign mind with
false and monstrous ideas of the Southern
character. They have since as thoroughly
succeeded, albeit unintentionally, in complete
ly removing that impression, and in loading
themselves with degree Of odium in foreign
estimation which has rarely, if ever before,
been brought upon themselves by any people.
They have inflicted upon us great material
damage in the progress of hostilities but
they have far more than compensated our

Of the moral campaign they have waged in our
favor. 50
The recent success Of the conservative sen.

speak of it as Democratic or party triumph,
in obtaining control Of the next Federal Con

the part Of the North. Congress may be able
to exert but limited control upon the Exc
