SATURDAY, APRIL 81, 1865,
proofs OF Northern vindie,ivsne.s.

The New York Evening Post and some
other loyal papers Of the North, have
lately been gathering proofs of the ha-
tired ana viudiclyeness Of the Republic
ans towards sheir Southern brethren.
This nay seem u strange and unac-
countanle worG FOR papers Of their poll
tics - work more likely TO suit the
feelings and purposes of the New York
World, News and kindred prints but 1t
is nevertheless true that Republican pa
pers have engaged themselves in II.
Among the proofs thus collected we no
tice the following First may be men
toned the fast that when the South had
brought desolation upon itself by it's at
tempt TO destroy the Union when, as the
Post expresses it, thousands Of white
Southern women and children were
starving, the Republicans wlckedly and
with farious hatred, caused them to be
supplied with rations; and not content
with that, rabid abolitionists actually
sent clothing 10 cover and warm the ma
ked and shivering, and contributed
thousands Of dollars to buy bread and
seed corn for those whom the abhoIrtd
Freedmen's and Refugees Bureau could
not sufficiently provide"
During the year 1866, thirteen socie-
ties for the relief Of suffering in the
South received four hundred and two
thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight
dollars in cash and three hundred and
sixty-seven thousand seven hundred
and nine dollars worth of supplies, of
which there IS good reason to fear that
at least nine tentAs was contributed by
the South. hating Republicans.
Eleven Northern societies, all of them
under the management of radicals, and
supported by the contributions of these
Republicans, have employed during the
last year, and are now maintaining in
the Southern States, seven hundred and
sixty teachers, every one of whom has
orders TO teach all the white children
within reach and they are getting mp
separate schools for white children in
some districts, " here they find prejudice
against the blacks 100 strong to allow
the children Of the two races to attend
school together. Thousands of dollars
are thus contributed to set up schools
not only for the freedmen, but for the
white children, and nothing but radical
hate could nave prompted this. The
Freedmens Bureau, a Republican insti-
tuition, relieved the minds of the South
ern whites, when they were in panic of
fear ON account Of an apprehended in
surrection Of the blacks on Christmas,
by calling Inc latter together and in
structing them Is to their new duties
and rights and removing any delusion
they might have l8bored under. 1t has
done its best to keep the negroes peace
ably at worE, and 10 bring order out of
the new condition of things at the
South, with jusJice to all parties. And

beneficial that it enabled the South to
recover speedily from an auarChical col
lapse which without it would have been
next to fatal The Post mentions the
following further proofs:

law, shows what extremes these ha-
ters of the South will go. This law &C
tually inflicts upon the Southern people
the curse Of equal rights before the law
Itestablishes law and order in the South
Could anything he more injurious or
atrocious
But the feelings of the Republicans
towards the Southern people are well
known TO many Southern men, who,
satisfied that they are hated and despised
in the north, come hither by the hun
dred to ask for money to build churches,
to establish orphan asylums, to relieve
distress to set up schools. Others are
borrowing money to carry on their
plantations, are getting goods here on
credit, are coming north to enter in
business or practice their professions"
The fact is, that the Republicans en-
terrain no vindictive or revengeful feel
ings whatever. They are glad to do all
in their power 70 help the South on the
road to prosperity and happiness The
majority Of the Southern people IN
6 doubtedly have false impression of
=, Northern feeling in this respect, and it
is possible also that many at the North
do injustice to the present wishes and
purposes Of the large portion of the peo-
pie at the South. Nothing would so
much promote harmony and good will
: between the two sections as better I'M
Outstanding Of each other, and with the
South thrown open to Northern travel
and immigration, and good system of
education, las it was not and could not
be while slavery reigned supreme there,)
we have such prospect OF future har-
niony as never could exist before. The
