TIE SoUTH OPEN TO THE NoRrH.-A letter to the
Richmond Enquirer and Examiner from Boston mer-
chant, who processes to express prevailing sentiment
among the commercial classes of New England, con-
tains these noteworthy passages:
Now that Grant is elected, all the fears the North
may have entertained about the South vanish, and a
purpose will develop itself wholly friendly and of
encouraging nature. The North now means business
South, by the Infusion of capital and emigration The
West divide its claims to surplus population of
the Atlantic cities with the South. The signs of the
times are favorable to the South Now that the strug-
gle for president is over, let byg cones be bygones.
We believe that is prominent feeling here in New
England. We.shall be disappointed very much if the
Grant administration acts otherwise than generously
towards the entire South. We believe that viii be a
strong feature in it, and quite New England
will back up that feeling with actions corresponding
thereto.

TIE RICHMOND WING ON TIE ELEcTloN.-The Rich

the result Of the Presidential election:
Having no choice but to submit, even if We were
otherwise disposed, aud having in better days beer
brought BY the discipline of frequent disappointment
to the indulgence Of the most moderate hopesin po
cal affairs requires no effort to abstain from the
preston Of unavang regrets. That Gen. Grant s the
choice of majority Of the real people Of the country
the only legitimate dsposers of power be claim
ed, and for this reason, well because he is by
expression fair representative Of the policy
and sentiment Of the Radical party, do not that
his election affords them occasion for any very rium
plant demonstrations By sort of self-repudiati0n
and by putting victorious soldier before the country
instead Of themselves they have escaped defeat and
that is ALL What may come of it we cannot foresee
but can await with composure.

TIE ELECTIoSs.-llatters and Things Determined.
We copy as follows from the National Intellgeneer, of
the 9th Instant: ..-..
Among the matters and things determined BY the
late political contest the following not the least I'M
portaRt: aga
l. That the Democratic masses continue FIRM faith
ful and patriotic but the Democratic leaders, nfatua
ted and blind, longer merit the confidence of any
section or party of the country
9. That the great questions at issue between the
Constituencies of the country aud the Radical revo-
lutienss have been settled by the late contest
they have only been removed from the national arena
to within the pale of the Republican party.
8. That Gen. Grants silence and apparent indeeson
must be exchanged for more open aud expressive de-
meanor nor can he avoid taking sides with the
other of the two classes of which his supporters
made up, viz: with either the friends the enemies
of the constitution. lie will be compelled to declare
for the State sovereignty" and "National Union "
principles of his Illinois and Great West generally
or else for the Congressional despotsn and national
consolidation of Massachusetts. He must either imi-
tate Andrew johnson in faithful observance of the
oath which will ndutt him into the Presidential office,
else he will follow Charles Sumner in mental feser-
walton to violate an oath which he regards as mere
nosome fornality.
4. That this decision by President Grant will be sue
ceeded by recast of parties vhereupon the friends
of the constitution and the Government as conducted
from its commencement will make grand and prob
ably final struggle agains. the Radical revoluonists.
In other of these parties every citizen of the
land will be able to find eongenal place. And may
God, in His mercy, defend the right aud overthrow
the wrong.

now that it will be next to impossible for it to hold
together for another four years AS to the President

General Grant is not a Radical, and we have the
very highest authority for saying that it is his purpose
