INCENDIARISM.

the hatred OF the Nortn against the South
would cease, and we should then at last en-
joy the glorious privilege Of being let alone,
which has boen denied US for forty-fve years.
In this expectation we reokoned without our
host. Hatred of the South has become the
normal condition with our Northern friends,
and abusing and vilifying us one Of the pri-
mordeal requisites of their existence.
We are led to these remarks by several
pamphlets recently brought to our notice.
One, q speech of New York NJ. G., delivered
in Congress in March last, printed at the
Government printing Office, in Washington.
This pamphlet WAS scattered broadcast
through this city; with what special motive
we cannot divine. 1t is to be feared, however,
it was for no good purpose. The pamphlet
was malignant and abusive in it's character,
revamping every stale and exploded slander
ever uttered against the South. Our atten-
ton was directed to the publication at the
time, but we did not deem it worth notice,
as it bore its own antidote in the ineffable
stupidity of the entire speech, which had
neither spark nor spirit sufficient to kindle
even the smallest fame.
More recently another of these fre-brands
has come to our notice. The title of this
pamphlet is: "Is the South ready for restora-
tion ?" This is an anonymous publication,
having no inpriu,atur Of place, name of pub
lisher,or author: Itis a compilation of ex-
tracts from the various "ooppsrhead" journals
of the North, and from the "late rebel" sheets
of the South. The topics discussed, or rather
the headings, under which these extracts are
paraded are as follows: The question at is.

The CHARLESTON DAILY News has the
distinguished honor of occupying niohe in
this great temple of the unreconstructed. The
"South Carolinian," one of our late contem-
poraries in this oity, is arraigned for having
dared to have said: "We vote for the late
Confederate soldiers, because they represent
the valor, honor and Intelligence of the
people" Is,
This pamphlet is evidently designed as q
tract to be sown broadcast over the North,
and throw dust in that peoples eyes, lest they
should see the truth, and throw out the Radi-

he had access to the same. And he must
moreover have been specially paid to read
over all the papers from the "infeoted" dis
tricts; for we cannot, by even the widest
stretch Of fancy, imagine such a task to be a
labor of love.
Every unguarded expression is greedily
seized as bonnie boIehe of rebeldom. The

There is, On the whole, nothing remarka.
BILE in this tract. To US, who have closely
watched the Radicals of the North before,
during and since the war,-and who have
known how utterly unprinoipled they are,
and how unscrupulous as regards the means
BY which they propose to compass their
ends,-to us all this is matter of course. II
is otherwise with many of the good people Of
the South. There are many who, in the sim.
plicity of their own innocence, thought that
with the abolition of slavery the hatohet was
forever buried, and there would henceforth
no longer be sectional or geographical party
lines. These good friends of ours have been
disappointed in their expectations. They
looked for true patriotism and political virtue
where these qualities are rsckoned as mere
romantic myths.
