pga WELL SAID. The Radical Disunion Com
mittee's Address, written by Oreswell, of
Maryland, fellow who was q violent Seces-
i sionist when he thought that Maryland would
unite her fortunes with the Confederacy, says
EFF those who so wantonly plunged the
Union into civil war shall be allowed by you
to dictate the terms of reconstruction, you
will have needlessly sOwn the bitter seeds of
future rebellion and strfe.n To which the
Richmond Wing thus forcibly replies;
The South has dictated nothing. When
and how has the silent, passive South at,
tempted to dictate? Dctation implies power;
the South is powerless. 1t has not repre-
sentative in Congress, or in the army, or in
the Eayy, or in the Institutions of learning
connected with them, or in the cabinet, or in,
any department or bureau of the government:
The power that excludes them from these
positions is the power that dictates.
