Gbs Recommendations Of the south.
That there is growing up formidable
party in the South, who by reason Of our
great victories are beginning to think Of
some method of obtaining Pesce without
Z the further efusion Of blood, there can be
no doubt. The Southern newspapers
which reach US are teemiug with editorial
comments on the late letters Of Stevens,
johnson and Boyce. On these letters they
are taking issue, some warmly sppladdiOg
the sentiments expressed, others denpunc-
ing in the most bitter terms what they be-
lieEe to be the beginningof q fierce counter
revolution in the South. The letters ot
these three men insist upon the doctrine OF
State Sovereignty and insist that The re-
cognili0n Of tLe doctrine shall be on Of
the indispensable conditions of a conven-
ton Of the States. The rebel newspapers
opposed TO the 4reconstructiouists,1 as
they are termed, demonstrate, by their esa,-
meRts, that the opinions OF Stevens, J obn-
son and Boyos are the nucleus of a party
Ia the South who need but little more q the
pressure Of war in order to be converted
into reaee men, resdy to return to their al
legiancs 70 the general Government
Looked st in this light the @reconsFuc-
tion movement in the South promises TO
be a very important one; and one that will
be greatly accelerated by the reelection
of Abrahsm Lincoln. s sLo
Among the evidences that parties are
growing up in the South are such ezpres-
sions as the following. A Mr.. Cunning
ham, Of South Carolina, says OF Boyce;
a admire the manliness of Mr.. B0yce
Z in speaking out. BE spoke in the spirit of
suggestion. Hispatrloiism desired inquiry
upon the psrt and in behalf of his country.
Ire5ret tie error of his Vies0s that might
Be corrected. regret more especially thst
any action has been taken that might tend
to create parties"
A writer in the Charleston Mereq7y
speaks in still more decided and even Px-
travagant language. BE says: 90.
HThe letters of Mr.. Stephens and Mr..
Boyce, and the expressed opinions Of SOME
o.hers, fall upon al rejecting minds with
a shock, electrical as lightning. The august
and formal and solemn conventions Gdvissd
By Mr.. Boyes Intimate simply surrender.
To the distrscting and demOralizing Of
feet of General ShermAn's campaign the
Macon o5nfedsraey bears stfl stronger tes-
timoRy. It says: 4
q The retreat Of General Johnston abaGl-
sdo7pn,esst of a large area Of territory, and
the Loss Of Attaata hGve oeeGsOiylsd a greHt
deal of discussion among tie people of eeT-
tain sections IN references to the coarse thFt
should be adopted for the purpose o bring
s1lg the soar to a close.
d. All these are evidences that pesce and
reunion party Of the South is being orgaA-
lied. If the same success attends our
csuse hereafter as we have witnessed dd-
ring the past year, ii will not be very lOn 3 |
before JEFF. Davis and his wretehed crew
will be hurled from power, and the Union |
be restored. Let the North be united 10 |
the work of putting dcwn the rebellion
and Stephens, who deprecated rebellion inp |
the beginning, will assume the leadership |
of the men who are now talking about
peace, but who will then be ready to fight
for peace and Union. ....... --g---rs p
