psS- We thank the IfessnS Times for giving rs
credi, for hoaesty-a eomplime- no, ofics paid 70
an ex-rebel by an original ioyalist The question
Of error which he raises against ns must be left TO
the current Of events for decision. We DO claim to
be honest in the expression OF our opinions and II
we fail TO maintain them by competent facts and
arguments Il Is a misfortune for which we are not
strictly responsible. In pleading for the South, We
feel that It is appeal in behalf of justice and hu-
manity in condenning the acts Of those in author
ity, and whose power is exerted over an unarmcd
people, we act upon the hope that magnanimity is
not extinct in the hearts OF the triumphant party,
and that it may yet awake to the consciousness that
the people of the South are human beings with
hearts to appreciate the noble and generous, with
nerves to feel the oppressors rod, and with brains
to distinguish between the sternest requirements of
justice and the infections Of wanton cruelty. When
we see such people thrust beyond the pale of the
Constitution stripped, one by one, of the highest
privileges of freemen and degraded to the level of
uegros is il strange that we should feel the wrong
and honestly protest against it? We will do our
contemporary the justice to believe that he feels we
are right and that he knows the shortest road to
union and harmony, runs not thro' bitter proscHp-
ton and nngenerous exactions. Our rulers may
not see things in this light, but the outside world
does, aud posterity will look back, in sympathy
with those who suffer now for cause which they
believed to be righteous.

| Tar When we read in our southern exchanges
saugune anticipatons Of early restoration of The
Union, the cheering prospects Of renewed prospect.
ty in the South, and the growing amity between
the sections, are almost persuaded that the pic
ture is reality. But glance at the hostile atti-
tude Of the republican majority, in the North dis
pells the Illusion. From that majority, we have
nothing to expect but impacable hate, aud perse-
cution limited only by the power to infct. We
are forced to remember that the white man, of the
South, is the ostracsed victim Of northern fanatics
whose vengeance nothing can appease save his po-
ltical and social subsection To his former slave II
is said and with TRUTH that the President stands as
bTeak-water, between the North and South to
stay the tide of oppression which threatens to
away the last vestige Of liberty and prosperity
But can he, will he stand the shock unmoved p
In an age of stern, heroic virtue, nnartyrdom may
sanctify righteous cause and teach that death is
preferable to abncgation Of all that makes life des
rable. But, in an age Of deprayiy, like this pat
rosm integrity, duty, all disappear like phantoms
before the resistless power of paltry ambition and
mistaken self-ntcrest. In Andrew Johnson, we
believe, the South has a sincere well-wisher but
he is a man, and this fact should repress those ex-
travagant hopes which spring from the power his
position gives him. and from the manifestations of
goodwill apparent in some of his official acts. 1t
is true that his power is great and so is the power
arrayed against him; and should he so far triumph
as to save the South from threatened subjugation
and ruin, he will have inscribed his name high on
the'prar of fame, and won the lasting gratitude of
generous people.
