The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1866-03-28

sESsIBLE.-A Virginia paper-the Char
lottesville Chronicle. has had its eyes opened
to a political truth, and gives the South
some wholesome advice. 1t complains that
those Southern men who kept the rebel
lion going twelve months after the confeder-
ate cause became hopeless, are now deuding
the South with the prospect of assistance
from the Northern Copperhead Democracy.
If the Democracy be loyal. how comes it
that these bitter secessonists and haters of
the Governmeut-whose deep and rancorous
disloyalty led them to sacrifice thousands Of
confederate soldiers when their death could
avail naught-how comes it that these ultra
federates and champions? Be it known by
the loya voters and soldiers of the country
that to the success of the Northern Democra
cy, the most vindictive and unrepentant
of southern rebels look as a consummaton
devtutly to be wished. Failing in their eff
forts to ruin, the rebels seek now to rule in
order to ruin and the Democracy are their al
lies in this scheme.
The Chronicle says:
..Ir the South is sectionalized again, our
troubles are not over If politicians engineer
the South into the position it occupied in 1860,
the hammer will hll upon US again. II
the antagonism is maintained between the
North and the South, of course we will be
crushed. Just in proportion AS the South
seeks TO become unit, just in proportion
will the North become united against US.
What the South requires for its saieiy-to say
nothing of its prosperitv-is broad national
sentiment commensurate with the whole coun-
try And if we yield no more, We must yield
at least enough for this. The South can take
might by political combinations carry some
times an election, or vote in the House OF
Representatives but it would be only the po-
sit,on of Ireland in the British Empire, and
the Irish members in the House Of Commons.
Therefore we deeply regret the studied at
tempt at the North to regalvanize the Demo-
cratic party. with the hope of getting for il
always the solid vote Of the South. Just SC
certain as1his is done, the ascendancy of the
Republicans is made certain for many years
and our allies will only make things worse fol-
us by keeping up the anmosities ofthe past. :
Yet more worthy Of the attention of tn,
North and South, are the words of Col. w
B. Stokes to his Union friends in Nashville
He says:
'Iour friends IN Washing on are the Cnio'
men an ongress. Sometimes they arr
termed radicals. don't care what name 70,
call them. ! can be called Radical as easi
" as | was called a I.incolui,e and Abolition
ist in 1851. The Radicals are your friends
Irepea, Some Of them are little extrem,
in some Of their views. but still you must re
member that these Union men are the one
who saved our Government in 1851. when i
required all the energy and courage of mar
to meet the dreadful crisis. Are they not tn,
men whom you should trust now with the rein
Of Government
