Amenities of Reconstructed journalism


The Richmond E;raminer, in an article
alluding to Thaddeus Stevens and Secretary
Seward, revels in all the vituperative rhetor-
ic for which it was formerly famous 1t
speaks of the low condition to which the
| legislative department of this country has
fallen, when that bad vulgar old man,
| (Mr. Stevens) is the leader of the House of
Representatives; and it only notices
his vile slang" because it indicates the
| views and purposes of the disreputa5le
people who constitute the ruling majority
in the national House of Representatives. -
1t says Mr.. Seward was once the radical
leader in the ,ricked agitation of the social
organization of the South, but this agitation
has now gone beyond his reach, and he is
discarded for Stevens, the new leader, al
Stevens will be discarded for some yet more
ultra supporter of the theories" of equas
rights: ''the Gironde must yield to Danton
and Danton will give way to Robespierre
and Marat. 1t characterizes ''the maiori-
ty in Congress" as vile demagogues, its
policy as 'ferocious, brutal and fendish, :"
starting off just as this political ruffian
Mr. Stevens) requires y and it advises its
Southern readers to put no man in posi-
ton who will look at Stevens and has gang
any other way than as moral outla,os and as
enemies of the human race
We are frequently told that the South is
ready and anxious to take its place in the
Union, and behave itself but if we can
jugde from the temper of many of its lead
ing journals, we must conclude that it is
yet animated with the bitterest hate towards
every man who has contributed to the aboli-
ton of slavery, or who has not already for
gotten that there has been a rebellion
against the government Such men as write
tor the Erdnaiaer need certainly considera-
BILE time yet for their rebellious dispositions
to cool, before they are permitted to make
new attempt to declare a Congress. which
does not agree with their notions. gang of
