An Unfair Suppression.

Some newspaper organs of the strangulation
party speak of Gen. Lee as traitor by de-
scent and instinct. ''His grandfather" says
one of these journals, writing on the federal
constitution of 1900, said: When we 1.-THE
south). attain our natural d gree of popula-
ton. fatter myself that we shall have the
power to do ourselves justice with dissOlving
the bond which binds u together. This Is
a fair specimen Of the suppressio ceri .Wha,
Gen. Lees grandfather Lee, said, was:
Il fiatter myself that we shall have the power
to do ourselves justice Without dissolving the
bond which binds us together" Are the
radicals 80 much afraid that they cannot
hang Gen. Lee that they are compelled tC

A very lage meeting was held by the peo-
pls of New Orleans on the 18th to weioomo
Governor Wells, of Louisiana. Among Tue
speeches made was one by General Huriout'
who. IN tho course of his remarks, SAID:
Something has been said about those who have
been fighting against the Union | listened to
Mr.. Roxisr's letter with great deal oil in.e.es.
And saw 10 you now, that l would rather tax e
tb.se men who have been fighting against US by
the hand and trust them, than those cowardiy TEL
low. who have stayed at home, and forced better
n.o into the army. There has been no personal
hostility between the officers and the soldiers oil
the tive armies.
We wish our readers TO bear In mind that
Gen. Hurlbut is one of the most Distinguish
cd republicans in Illinois. His loyalty is
not doubted by the Mudhead Block Court
and he says he would rather take the rebels
BY the hand and trust them than some OF his
own party friends who stayed at home.

A letter from one of the southern states
L coyloxr,pp pocsoOa.

has the following passage:
ssThe ready acquiescence of the southern peo-
ple in the situation in which they find themselves
placed proves beyond doubt that they are SIN
csrs IN their desire for a renewal OF their former
relations with the government, and wish TO ENJOY
its protection The past they are eager to let go,
with its bitter remembrances, Its foihes ana It's
crimes. and new era of confidence with better
understanding OF their true rotations to the gov
eminent and OF the true value OF Its protection is
new springing up in their minds"
There ia no doubt of the entire truthfulness
Of this statement with reference to the dlspo-
sition of the southern people. Having sub
mittsd the issues presented by slavery and
extreme state rights lsecession) to the ar6lt'
ranent of battle, and the decision having
besa overwhelmingly against them, they are
disposed to acquiescence and make the best
Of thsiY situation.
There is but one thing which now inter-
poses itself between the south and the north ;
and did it not exist there would be fusion
between the rebellious and loyal states that
would render undistinguishable the late line
of rupture and make future separation for
ever impossible. That one thing is the agi
tasion of the republican press. This portion
is 90 day as busy in fomenting strife as 1t
ever was in the days which preceded the war.
Ii is rsviving all the old ISLANDERS against the
south. and is denunciatory and interruptions
in demanding suffrage for the negro as it was
once in demanding his emancipation.
If the people of this country wish to secure
q perfect union such as the south desires and
the good of the country demands, they must
resis, the attempts of these radical abolition
politicians. They must not give countenance
TO the viliAcations by newspapers whose ct
forts have no other legitimate end than the
permanent division, in sentiment, of the north
and south. They are the only disunionists
LET, by the war, and the sooner they and sx
tinguished by public opinion the better il
will be for the whole county, Chicago
