A SLIGHT MISTAKE,
Tic Nov York Tribune, q tho il Instant

contains the following paragraph
All over the South white unionista are being
driven into exile because of their steadfast 10y
atty. There have been two, if not three, consii.
cradle migratiens from North Carolina on this
ground, The rebel press fairly boils over with
yenomous aenunetations of Yankees. The lead
ing free State men of New Orleans are fleeing in
terror trem the doom OF assassination with which
they are threatened GOV. Hamton's life would
be as much imported in Texas to-day as when the
rebellion was most rampant; and hundreds like
INN are escaping US fastas possible. Allover the
South it is safe so have been fighting, peTsecut,
ing rebel; it is perious to be known as a stead
fast Unionlst tit is still more SO to be marked as
a champion of equalrights for all. And still the
work Of marder and expulsion goes on, under the
patronage and protection Of the chief director of
the New Orleans tragedy. Not till the last Union
st shall nave been killed or terrified into appstasy,
the astnegro eonfiaed to his masters plantation
and compelled to take such treatment and RECON-
penseas that master shall see fit, shall we have

If there is any object in publishing stste-
rnsnts like Shis, itmust be to stimulate shat
sairit Of viHdictiveness on one side, aad of
resentment on the other which IS fatal to any
thing Ikea restoration of friendly feeling be-
] tween the North and the Sopth As long as
| Northern people are told by journals q
prominence and Influence That Northern men
are not safe in the South, and that political
opinion is made the pretext Of personal per-
secutien, the effect must naturally be to con-
firm aSae alienation which existed during the
war, to arouse the hostility of the Northern
people against the South on account Of these
imputed twreugs, and to excite the gust re-
sentiment of the Southern people on account
of these causeless accusations. The Tribune
! has, sometimes, in a lucid interval, attempted
| to show that the interest of the South re-
quires an augmentation Of popuIation-es-
pecialIy of intelligent population an
increase of capital. Yet it persistently labors
to prevent us from obtaining any such &C
cessions to our wealth and resources, by sys-
tematically misrepreseutng QUE views, our
wishes and our acts.
Docs the Tribune think that we are chill
children not to know our own interests I?
Does the Tribune suppose that we do not
perceive the necessities of our situation; that
we do not clearly perceive that, even if we
desired to achieve and to WELD political power,
wecan accomplish our object only by attracting
to ourselves those agencies which that paper
declares til 1T we are wilfully rejecting? We
material prosperity depends on the reorgani-
zation of industry in harmony with the re-
quiTements Of the times; on increase of popu-
latsen; on the influx of capital; on the reyiyf6
Of trade We know, just as well as the Til
bune, that freedom of thought, freedom of
discussion, freedom of political action, within
the limits of the law, are essential to devel-

ton of our industry. We therefore welcome
heartily all corners, whether from Ireland on
New England, from Illinois or Germany. that
bring among us labor, energy, or capital and
the Intelligence TO use these with effect,
We take this opportunity to declare that
political opinion is not in the South test of
social rights. We do not object to the widest
latitude Of discussion on the part Of those
who really have the benefit Of our society at
heart, and who speak their sentiments as real
citizens Of the South. For all such, whether
democrats, or republicans, whether Confede-
rates on quondain Unionists, we have only
words OF welcome and encouragement. But
