Attitude Of the South.


We have repeatedly assured the Rad
ical faction that the Southern States
have made all the concessions that they
mean to make for the sake OF restora-
ton to the Union. They feel that they
have done enough, and justly complain
that faith has not been kept with them
in what they have done. 1t betrays
great ignorance of that people to sup
pose that they will ever purchase ut
the price Of dishonOr the political
privileges to which they are entitled by
the Constitution ofthc country. The
following is from the Mobile Register,
edited by the Hon. John Forsyth, for
merly United States Minister to Mexi-
co:
We arc promised amnesty for the
past, and cordial political brotherhood
for the future, if we would submit to
certain conditions, which were hard,
because they were opposed to tradition
al habits and instincts. We kept our
part Of the bargain, but it has been
broken to the hope and insult paid
down instead in the other. We have
no other bargains to makc-certainly
none that imply assent to the degra-
ding Radical theory Of negro equality.
We do not intend to help the fanatics
in their insane efforts to alter the l'ws
of God--to make the Ethiopian change
his skin, or the leopard his spots.
The attitude of the South is hence
forward that Of passive endurance,
leaving it to the North to work out
its rights and liberties, perfectly as
sured that those Of the North are
bound up with them. We feel conf
dent that these eleven Southern States
cannot be held in permanent snhicc-
ton by the same Government that
secures liberty to the other five.
The same Government cannot perform
the same Office of tyranny and freedom,
The conflict will be irrcpressible, and
either the gangrene Of tyranny will OK.
tend to the whole system, or the whole
system will be purged and purified by
the fires of liberty, which, though tenn
%porarily smothcrcd, yet burn in the
breasts Of the American people. We
await that time. Meanwhile, let oul
Northern friends rest easy OIL the score
Of honor. We have kept it SO far,
bright and unsullied-kcpt it us long
rs strength lasted at the point of oul
swords, and baptized it in the most
precious blood of Our manhood. We
mean to keep it to the end, so that
when we re-cntcr the gates of the ma
tional temple, we may do it with heads
erect, and in such guise that the true
men of the North may not be ashamed
of our association us brothers and
compatriots.

In the general absence OF newspa-

KISSING A NEGno.-At one of the
stations on the Southsidc railroad, Va,
Il few days since, u revolving spectacle
took place in the presence of the pas
sengers. A "school marm," who is
s'teaching the young idca how to shoot"
in one Of the neighboring counties,
met there " negro sister, which so re-
joiced her that she in~continently rushed
to her embrace and exchanged hearty
kiss. The passengers stared with sur
prise, and seemed puzzled to decide
which of the two drew the sweetest
honey. The sight was an unusual one
in that good old Commonwealth, and
very naturally made the school woman,
the balance of the route, an object OF
contempt OF the part of those who
were travelling with her.
