North is full Of venom towards IL o South,
and betrays q malignant and vindictive
spirit. Not satisfied with the euies &C.
ccptarco by the South of the iSsuos of the
war, they still clamor for the further deg
radiation of our section, and would have
u.s. after amending our State Constitution
abolished slavery, rcpudating our debt,
and doing everything else required by
President Johnson-after doing all this,
they would set themselves up as censors,
and prescribe not only rules and rogula-
tions for tho government of the rebels,
but would select for US, as our rulers, the
most odious men to be found in tho South.
They glory in the promotion ofsuch men
as Holden, Brownlow, ct ia o'ene genus,
and their plaintiff waiiings over the hand
somc defeat of the former is sufficient ev-
idenco of their truc feeling. Listen to
the Cincinnati Commercial of a recent
date:
! The people Of the loyal States have
been more griovously disappointed by
tho action of North Carolina, since the
Ecollapso of tho rebellion, thar they can
be by that OF any Of the late slave States.
Gov. Holden, the most tolerant of tho
Provisional Governor, man Of splendid
abilities, of great integrity Of character,
known to bc favorito of the President,
and fully committed to his policy of re-
construction, personally popular, and
able to concentrate in the State, was NOM
mated for Governor. His election was
regarded rs q certainty, and as ratifca-
ton by tho people of North Carolina of
the policy Of respect it afforded of n
speedy resumption of civil rights; and es-
capo from the rigors of military rulo.
His defeat, therefore, is an event for
| which wo were totally unplcparcd, and
will tend, probably, moro than any sin-
gle event that has occurred since tho ccs-
sation of fhostilitlcs, to rotard the work of
restoration.
ELSEWHERE we publish the comments
of the Raleigh press on tho result Of the
election. They present a very gloomy
view of 'hc present condition of political
affairs in tho State, and no more cheer
less prospect for the future. 1t is to be
hoped they havo somewhat overcolored
the picture But if it is fair represen-
tation of the condition of things, there
can be but very little doubt that provi-
sional government will be maintained in
North Carolina for along timo to come.
The disloyal elements, by those accounts,
moro active, more bitter, and more in
tractablo there than in any Of tho cotton
States, and will have to bo restrained by
the strong hand of powor."
1t seems from the above, which is only
a specimen of the many notices we daily
see in the Northern press, that because
the people ofNorth Carolina have seen
proper, in their wisdom, to defeat Mr.
tto1uen 10r Governor the great work of
restoration must be retarded. A susp-
cious and jealous spirit is displayed by
the 'stay at homo" at the North concern
ing the loyalty of the Sou.h, and they
would have US make still further sacrif-
ccs in order to appeasc their Unsuitable
and blood-thirsty appct'tet Like the
eagle, after devouring their prey, they
still hunger for other victiml. How in
satiable! How cruel CannG tho long
train ofsuffering endured by TIN South ap-
peal to their sympathy, and stay he radical
hand that would continue to nla1o such |
unreasonable exactions.
In singular contrast with tie Aovo it
is praiseworthy fact, that tho bravo |
1nUn of tho North who wero in tho Fed |
oral army are liberal in their views, md
disposed to bo moro generous. The Len
who aided on the field Of battle to restoe
tho Union arc willing to show SOM
magnanimity, whilo the "homo heroes
of tho commercial stripe arc not willing
for tho Union to be-. restored until tho
South shows more signs of loyalty.
