THE SOUTHERN PREss-If the people O.
the South knew the damage done them by
the rabid newspapers which they support, al
we know it here, they would very quickly
compel them to change their tone. In DO
litical point of view, the papers are in larg'
measure responsible for the treatment tn,
Southern States are receiving at the hand
of Congress But they also prevent the Soutl
from obtaining those means of development
which she SO greatly needs. They proven
the flow of capital required in her cottol
{ fields, in her manufactures and workshops
by her merchants and traders, by her rail-
roads and steamboat lines, for her public i'm
provements and the service of the State
: They hinder Northern travel and intercourse
and prevent the flow of labor and emigra
ton. They stimulate malignant spirit il
the South, and create a like spirit in tn
North. They discourage those who are tn
true friends of the Southern people, an,
who are laboring to secure them justice. OF
the other hand, we can see no good end the,
serve in any direction-political, moral o
material. We do not desire subservien
spirit on the part of either the Souther
Press or people but we desire to see tn
malicious disturbers of the National peac
brought to their wits by the force of South
ern public sentiment York Times.
The above from a moderate Norther
journal, is commended to the special al
tention of the fre-eating presses in thi
