The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1865-06-30

NAsHyILLE LADIEs.-EO city has been
more distinguished for its refined and beau
tiful women than Nashville, and we do not
now take our pen TO detrset g particle from
their reputation. We desire above sill things
that they retain their prominence in this
respect. There is danger that they may
not,
Accustomed to accept statements without
question, our fair. confding southern women
were unable TO break through the sophis-
tries of secession, and stand up bravely for
.he real right. Hence, many OF them have
been the bitterest rebels in the nation. We
have some of them in our midst
women, who in all the attributes which
constitute lady, are scarcely equAded any
where but who today retain their former
hostility 10 the north aid the Government.
This is Gll wrong. The war is now ended ,and
the people should everywhere DO friends ;
and none are so powerful in the social
circle as cur dsughters, wivess and sisters.
We are no longer to have any south, or any
north. We are 70 live henceforth in cur
country. Many false notions have been
eorrected-many -deiusive bubbles have
been pricked-the bravery Of the people of
every portion Of the land has been proven,
the institution Of slavery has been over
turned, and the Influx Of persons from north
Of the Ohio is making us homogeneous.
Let US then h ave no retarding element in
the greet work of Pecihcation and recon-
strustion Of society. The men Of the ma
ton have fought themselves into each 9TH
er's respect. let the women now love them
selves into each others sffectionate cOnsid-
erAiion. The people, Of what has been the
| North, in the language Of partizsn politics
will now settle mere numsrously smangs:
US than before; they via bring, most Of

entOgprising spirits and magnanimous sent
iments. Let not their wives and daugh'
tiers fna as apllen aud hostile, but on th'
other hand let frsteraity prevail.

The rebellion Is dead--let us remembe
