WHAT DO THEY PROPOSE ?

Those who VOW that they will never
consent to reconstruction ON the repub-
lican basis, propose to undo all that las
been accomplished by the war, and re-
nland the country back to the chances
of disintegration and ruin. Before this
could be done, another war of unexam-
pied ferocity, and perhaps of almost
endless duration, would have to be
fought, and then, if the doctrine of Sc.
cession and its kindred dogmas were
established, it would hardly be score
of years till the States would fall apart
for the want Of cohesion; and the nee
essary conflicts between petty sover-
eighties, having no federal head, would
end finally in the setting up of king
ly government-which is indeed, Just
the thing that many men already prefer
to our system of republicanism. 1t is
for the people to say whether they will
have this country desolated again by
war, when nothing is promised them
but these direfnl results. Let every
man think for himself, and settle it in
his heart whether he will have peace or
war, prosperity or ruin.
The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1867-08-21

=
Some zeal is manifested to have the his
tory Of this State written up to the close of
the war. Several newspaper correspondents
have urged it, and have all with rather sin.
gular 'unaninity suggested Gov. Swain as
the writer. In substance. this is certainly
Desirable, Posterity ought to know North
Carolina's acts in the rebellion, but there can
be but one conclusion as to the reason of sug-
costing Gov. Swain for the historian. I1sy
do not want the history read. The Governor is
man of talent and shrewd politician, but
writing history is not his vocation. Our
history is in a bad fix now; Hawks, Wheel
er and Swain have cut it to.suit special
purposes, shaped it SO as to ignore all but
their own affinities, and hence, have depriv-
ed it of all comeliness whatever, Either we
have had the tamest, most insipid common
place career that ever did exist, or our true
history remains untold Mr.. Wiley attemp-
ted a novel on Gov. SWANS fayorite Ala
nance. but the theme was SO insignificant,
and the events had been so historically
damned, that Mr.. Wiley's inventive genius
utterly failed. In the whole domain Of his
tory. there is nothing so exhaustingly dry,
and so absolutely peurile as the colonial and
revolutionary history of this State. Gov.
Swain has immortalized himself upon Tryon.
Tanning and Jacob johnson, and now has
the proud prominence of standing at the
head of unreadable historians. DR.. Hawks
was man of very superior ability, but I'M
fortunately he belonged to the wrong histo-
ric school, and attempted to watt his books
into popular favor by hinge Chapel Hill
Commencement puff. Theconsequence is that
his work has never paid expenses, and the
dust of mental neglect is gathering upon it
in nearly all places where it is found. Pray
let Gov. Swain alone; his letters to Gov
Perry, his lecture to the Legislature, and his
eulogium upon jacob johnson, are enough
of that kind of glory for any one man.
