source of information within our reach) that pull
lie sentiment is still as bitter and unloyal as in
1861, and that cohesion in that section of the Union
but too often means military superiority" We
have, by public and private adyices, the eyer-re-
curing assertion that the people of the South are
conquered, not conciliated; that they submit to
revengeful, and equal to any retaliatory action
that may promise success; that they trent the
Emancipation Proclamation as of no effect; that
they retain by force and coerce, by the old style
them no service; that they look upon with suspi-
cion and treat with the utmost contumely the
Northern men whose duty or inclination leads
them to their vicinity; that they almost unani-
mously regard the oath of allegiance as thing OF
form only-a soda powder after; grand dehauch-
an oath that it is not only permissible to break,
u
taken under duress-and that, therefore, the
takers were not only excusab1e, but commendable
for breaking it. 10th rs we are to believe such
state of morals possible in fairly civilized COM
graceful fact-for it ia too truo-that thousands OF
men have taken the oath only for the purpose of
betraying its spirit in voting for most otoriously
disloyal men for office.
To be plain, thus it is: There is very wide
spread idea among tho Southern people that the
abolition Of slavery is not an actual Verity-that
Mr.. Lincoln did not really mean it, and that by
and by the good old institution will be restored.

contracts, the denial of employment and forcible
expatriation-allw with the view of showing the ig-
norant black that his government liberty is WORTH
less and that tis safety consists only in sti and
ever remaining, practically, at least slave
Hence the half concealed spite against the pres
ence Of Northern men in Southern cities; the 81
lent contempt and open rirulence with which they
{most of them compelled there by duty are treat
cd; the solemn and often ridiculous pride with
which the more extreme Davisites glare upon out
side barbarans, and point to their vest patterns
whereon the awe struck stranger is expected to
see in letters Of flame, 'Subdued, but not con-
luered." Hence the more moderate and more
dangerous coquetry of the Southern leaders with
the fragments Of the late Democratic party and
the hope that the said Southern leaders, with the
aid Of the yet unbaked doughfaces of the North,
may be able to control the great Legislative body Of
the nation. We read soft platitudes in our South
ern exchanges about crops and cotton stock, and
the heart-rending scenes that necessarily follow
the fiery track OF war; we are regaled now and
then with reports of reconstruction meetings; but
under, over, in and through all these permeating,
coloring and intoning all, means the grand theme
OF "snbdued, not conquered -outnumbered, not
beaten-unsuccessfn this time, but hoping for
better luck In the. next venture-victory postpon-
ed, but not despaired of-the Union triumphant,
repressed, but watching for the first promising
opportunity to blaze anew. .
