SOUTHERN ORAToRs.-The New York Gu
Isa formerly Miles O'Reilly's paper comes
out frankly on the orators OF the South, and
says
"If there Is a man among our Southern
friends who heartily desires the restoration OF
| the Union, and fraternal feeling between the
| North and South, let him say so now, or for
Wade Hampton, TOonbs, Cobb, Wise, and
| Semmcs, and DO not like to accept them AS the
| sole opponents Of southern ideas. What Is
| wanted 10 a prominent rebel so far converted
| and enlightened that he looks upon the lost
cause as actually lost, and not capable OF resus-
| citation. Perhaps our peculiar assistants at the
south do not care to succeed In the apuroach.
| Ing election. ChiYalTy or some other high
| sounding quality with which we At the North
| are supposed 10 have no acquaintance, may
interfere. Perhaps they will not accept terms
conduct Is the best possible. They cannot
carry the south, and do not care to have US
carry the North"
