sectional PoIifics-ProbabIe
= Dawn Of q Retler Era.

Hate Is vigorous emotion. To some
constitutions 1t is far more agreeable than
love. Intact, hate is love inverted. Take
the hate of the New England Abolitionist
for the, South and the SOuthernery for the
New England Abolitionist. Nothing ever
surpassed this mutual hate in intensity.

itorials it has inspired and still inspires
even since the warl 1t has been the chief
part of their religion with our most numer-
GUS New England seets. Notwithstanding
the prostratiOn, impOyerishment, and SUR
render Of the South, our radical newspa-
persi and pulpitsl do not bate one jot or
little of their old hate. 1t still burns as in
tensely as ever. a5r# lHoU 81 h'g, I9ml
Now,it should be understood by all com
cerned, at once, that the further cultivation
of sectional hate in this country Is not de-
sirable, but the reverse. This Is large
country. There is room for all the people
toimove about without jostling each other.
Mutual hatred and denunciati0n, are not
things to be INDUCED in forever by the in
habitants of different sections otIa great
country, whose people should be at accord
and full ofthe spirit of good neighbOrhood.
Besides they are too costly and make life
uncomfortable. There is hardly country
on earth in which there Is the, polit-
ical bitterness and ,p uncharitableness
which have peryaded this land for
years past. Better the quiet and polit-
ical sluggishness of an imperial des-,
potism than to live at the mercy of the infer
nal malice which has so long inspired our
politics. n The question arises, is there to be
no truce to it? We have had war in con-

system - arbitrary arrests = domiciliary

have subjected ourselves to a debt impair

of the series of taxes t0twhich an English
man is liable, between his cradle and his
grave-the names being hanged-applies
TO US. Verify, sectional hate has been a
costly plant. Its culture in the South has
desttution, humiliation and despair. Its
culture here in New England has not been
so destructive to our mSsssfial interests.

Northern counterparts, the radicals, ought

I'VE have seen what sectional hate can do
we want no more of it. 1t is worse thar

is time that the Federal Government should
