The gloom that overhung our be-
loved country for the last four years, l.
fast being expelled The southern de t..
OF setting up confederacy is exploded
and with judgmen ut and moderation, the
old Ship Of State will soon be on her old
track of peace and prosperity. God grant
that her people may never experience
another four years Of such misery, desola
ton and death, caused by the lanaticism
and ambition ofbad men. One propiliou'
omen OF the present time is the prevalence
oil conservative feeling throughout our
land. Men who could talk of nothing but
blood and destruction q few months sisce
are now following in the ranks oftbe great
conservative party, and are willing to as

by the chief Magistrate of the nation in
his laudable efforts to assist in the resto

casiao Race, they will assert their rights,
they will not need the fanatieal haranpues
OF Philips aud Sumner and strong minded
women to tell them their rights, to show
how they appreciate pardon. and what
use they make of it, We only need refer
to the Texas expedition together with
other serious difficulties they have had
with our soldiers and citizens recently
Since they have been declared free, liberty
with them is licentiousness.li liberty without
restraint is anarchy and yet leading men
OF the Abolition or Republican party have
the audacity to insist that the President
proclaim universal suffrage upon this in

Republicans come out square for Negro
