What is the Temper of the South :

among the common people OF the late reoei
States, he has ''not seen one act which look
ed to The trampling down Of the Laws-they
have not the means if they had tie Will =
they are submissive people, acknowledging
that they are powerless and under the con-
troll of the powers of Washington. Here
is Gov. Worth, the new governor Of North
Carolina, who IN his inaugural says, that the
people of that State ardently desire restor-
alton Of the Union and Of national amity
that they will perform their constitutional
obligations with as much fidelity as any IN
the Union that the animosities produced IN
the South by the war are rapidly passing
away; that North Carolina will grasp the
hand OF Cancellation if offered with generous
and magnannnous confidence"
The new Governor OF Alabama, Mr. Pat |
ton, says in his late message, that in faithful
acquiescence IN results and sincere desire Tor |
the restoration Of amicable ana harmonious
relations with the other States in the Union,
there are no party divisions in Alabama;
and he urges magnanimitY to the freed
African, and reminds the Legislature that it
has been required by the convention to pro-
vide full protection for the persons and prop
erty Of the colored p Fulation.
From the new Governor Of Georgia We
have similar or even stronger dtcl' rations.
GOV. Jenkins says, "that in the recent re-
r9oieling OF their constitution, the people Of
