II any number Of people In the North have looked Tor
anything like humiliation on the part OF southern poo
peanyhing even going so far as TO conspiouousy con-
Tess defeat-we are not of that number.
With much regret we confess our disappointment Ad
hitting many honorable exceptions, we conclude Urom
every source Of information within reach that pub
lie sentiment still az bitter and unl0yal as IN 1851 and

private advices, the recurring assertion that the
people Of the South conquered not concliaed that
they submit to force not to reason that they are still
eruculent, revengsul and equal TO any reallatory ac
tion that may promise that they treat the Eman
cpaton proclamation of no effect that they retain by
force and coerce, by the old style Of logging the
and women who now owe tbem service; that they
lock upon with suspicion and treat with the utmost con-
tumely the Northern men whose duty or inclination
leads them to their vicinity; that they almost unani-
mousy regard the oath of allegiance as thing OF form
only-a soda powder after grand debauchan oath that

spite against the presence Of Northern men In Southern
cities the silent and open vrcnce with which
they most Of them compelled there by duty are treated

extreme Davses glare upon outside barbarans and
point TO their vest patterns whereon the awe struck

and 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 piatudes In southern exchanges about
crops and cotton stock and the heart rending scenes
that necessarily follow the fiery track Of war; we are re
