from the south.
We subjoin few extracts from Southern pa.
pers to show the state of Southern feeling and
Southern sentiment.
l. From the inaugural of Gen. Humphreys, of
Mississippi:
Ii is to be regrstted that this school of poll
tlcians could not have found better mode for
solving the question than the arbitrament OF war
But the question was thus referred, and has been
decided against us by tribunal IRON which
there is no appeal. The people of the State of
Mississippi, acknowledging the decision, desire TO
return to the Union ard renew their iealty TO
the Constitution OF the United States It has
been officially reported from some quarters that
our people are inslncere, aud that the spirit OF
revolt Is rampant among us. But ii unh nching
hdelity in war gives evidence of reliable fidelity
IN peace-if the unvarying professions that
spring from private and public sources furnish
any evidence of truth-it il sufficiently demon
strated that the people OF the South. who so long
aud against such terrible odds maintained the
mghtiest conflict of modern ayes. may be safely
trusted when they profess more than willingness
TO return To their allegiance. The South, having
yentured all on the arbtrament of the sword
has lost all save her honor, and now accepts the
result IN good faith. lt is our duty To address,
ourselves 10 the promotion of peace and order
10 the restoration of the law the faith of the
Constitution aud the stability and pros sperity of
the Union-tO cultivate amicable relations with
our sister States, and establish our agricultural
and commercial prosperity upon more durable
foundations, trusting that the lessons taught by
the rebellion will not be lost either to the North
or the South-that freemen, once enlightened
will not submit 10 wrong or itiustce-that sec
tonal aggre sion will meet with sectional resist
ance, and that the price of political pertidy il
bloody and c rnage
The State of Mississippi has already, under
thy pressure OF the result of the war. by her own
solemn act. abolished slavery. 1t would be
hypocritical and Improbable 10 attempt to per
suade the world that she has done so willingly
Ii is due, however, to her houor 10 show by her
future course that she has done so ia good faith
and that slavery shall never again exist within
her borders, under whatever name or guise it
may DC attempted. The sudden emancipation OF
her slaves has devolved upon her the highest re-
sponsioilities aud duties Several hundred thou
sand OF the negro race, unified TOR political
equality with the white race. have been turned
lose upon society. aud in the guardianship she
may assume over this race, she must deal Justly
with them, and protect them in all their rights
of person aud property. The highest degree of
elevation 10 the scale OF civilization to which
they are capable, morally and intellectually
must be secured to them by their education ard
religious training; but they cannot be admitted 10
political social equality with the white race
lt Is due TO ourselyes-to the white emigrants
invited 10 our shores-and it should never be
forgotten-to maintain the fact that ours i. and
shall ever be government of white men. The
purity and progress Of both races REQUIRE that
cast- must be maintained. and termsrriage
between the races be forbidden. Mscegenation
must be the work and taste of other chmes and
other people"

admission of Southern Representatives:
