The Duty of the Southern Press.

preciate. The worst enemies of the South are tho
; who minister to the belief, Who supply Evidence
the charge, that the submission and renewed allcJ
: ance which our people yielding to the Union
feigned and deceptive. One violent and incorEigik
secessionist can now do more injury to our counts
than thousand good citizens acting in good faith
the Union, can do good. The press of the south h
powerful temptation to do mischief of this sort
newspaper may any day, publish an angry secessic
paragraph which viii increase its circulation by tho
sands among thoughtless women and unreecting your
people OF violent feelings. But while putting none
into its own Golfers the paragraph may travel the
tire rounds OF the northern papers and nct nm niur
upon the south which all conservative papers t.
getheF could not countenance in month. Never wi
there period in which moderation brought more kick
to public journal, and violence more coppers
But whether it brings pecuniary profit or not, mod
Grafton is the duty and policy of the Southern press
and the southern community will act very mistake
part II 1t does not hold the press to this duty
| Moderation can be pursued without adopting pol

people have renewed their allegiance to the Union 4

Tersai among the portion of the community respons
Die Tor their political action But after war of fol
years, distinguished by that bitterness of aDmosi
which characterzes the contending parties It came
be denied that much angry feeling still smoudsrI
among the unthinking and impulsiye masses Of the
community. Nischiefmakers can more easily stir this
feeling up, and keep 1t alive Than conservative and
conscientious people can subdue or e1tnguish it.
ct, strange to say, there is vague impression in.
the public miad that those who are prone to do thi
mischief and who would do great deal of it if t.e
burst, are trucr southern men than those who are a.
gagged constant and honest effort to prevent ant
correct this mischief We hold that the best perIoi
and truest men of their section, on either side of Nal
son and Dxons line, those WHO labor most honest
y and effectively to restore the section in which then
live to cordial relations with each other.
The first duty Gfsll good men of the Union is to la
Dor for the restoration and establishment of mutual
confidence between the lately hostile sections Peace
ID restored. The Union is politically re.estsblished
Let confidence, fraternity and good will be .ow re
TYed. OF course, this cannot be fully effected all
once This part of the work requires time for its &C
compiishment. The tree OF affection will not grow Il
maturity in day. But certainly the man who water
and cherishes it, is worthy gilmore honor than the mis-
cFeant who, With wanton and malicious hand, cuts II
down"
