rHE DANGER oS psrAr
cannot conceal tho fact that there Is danger the
country In longer withholding recognition o. the south
States Not danger OF open outbreak but Danger
OF something else. which In the end may prove even
danger OF resurrection OF sectional hatred.

the two sections North and south, by long
years Of opposing systems OF civilization
laid as at the walls OF Jericho Every United Stats

allowed To settle matters at Appomaitox Court Honse

have endured as long a. America remained nation
believe he Is right The course clear then foe

own hands by holding Southern states conquered
provinces became fully apparent some Of tho old hard
feeling towards the North revived, tho people look

appeared In tho newspapers and tho people, with
out fully cndoraing thcso productions, road them
with grim kind OF satisfaction feeling not Of artivo
hostility bu, of saon apathy towards the North sprung
up In tho Southern society Every act
