Union Sentiment at the south.
The remarkable confidence with which the
radical papers profess 10 give the opinions of the
Southern people on all subjects relating to the
Union, would seem to Indicate that the resolution
which have heretofore published, of an Aboli-
ton meeting inviting correspondence with South
ern Disunonisls had been carried into effect, and

the Southern correspondent
Ii ought not to be necessary to repeat that the
Southern radical newspapers are no more worthy
of being regarded as indices of the Southern
mind than are the Northern radical parties Of the
Northern mind The Southern papers are lit
tie more sagacions Than their Northern counter
parts in this respect that they place no faith in
the Northern radical sheets. The latter for a
long time constantly averred that the North was
filed with traitors; that the majorities in large
Northern States were in favor of " submitting
to the Rebels" that the whole Northern corntry
was infected with Secession sympathies; but the
willy Southerners understood all this nonsense,
and derived encouragement from it. They
knew il was false quite rs well as the men who
originated the stories here.
Nor are the Southern papers one whit more
Trustworthy in their representations OF the mind
of the South. Its true that the Southern popu
iatiOn cut on from means OF communication
WITH and knowledge Of the real state of affairs
in the North; but they know toeraby well that
one, and but one, sentiment prevails at the North,
to wit, the inseparability Of The American Union.
This sentiment they are correct in supposng to
pervade all the loyal States. They talk Of it,
reason Of il, and base all their calculations upon
il. There are thousands of sensible men who
look to il as loyal sentiment. honor il, and
secretly applaud it. There other thousands
who daily count the chances of being compelled
at length to yield toit IL, however, such an idea
should be advanced. il is at once denounced by
the press. which is thoroughly governed by
Southern radicalism, and the bold man who has
incurred the dspleasure Of the ruling facticn is
silenced. The Southern press represents the
party in power. 1t does not represent, nor pro

opinions On the question of war, at present
