principles and seeking peace through an
honorable restoration of the Union.
All this was natural and inevitable.
| The South could not do otherwise. That
the result has been contrary to their eX-
pectations does not prove that those eS-
pectations were unreasonable. 1t only
proves that human foresight is not lnf;tli-
BILE, and that men are often unfortunate
by the agency of circumstances which
control them and may not be controlled
by them Che South might have chosen
different policy and Jared even worse
than it has Jared. 1t might have sided
with Congress. Congress might have
become it's ally The two might have
grown unpopular. An ambitious 9resl-
dent usigLt have 'nsarped the powers OF a
dictator, turned tho military loose upon
the country, and visited destruction upon
the South for doing just what Congress
is noM publishing for not doing. 1t is
Impossible to look ahead at these posi-

IF every man, woman and child in the
South should turn Radical to-day it would

people have gone furthcrin that direction
than the Republicans of Ohio, and what
good has it done them? The more libe-
ral they are the more iliberal Brownlow
is; and so it will be everywhere else.
The meat on which carpet -baggery feeds.
and carpet-baggery is the body of which
Radicalism is the soul, is -srcbcl disat1ec-
ton y and, as the North takes the report
of the carpet-baggcrs, and refuses to
credit any other report, 1t is easy tor the
carpct.baygers to keep up perpetual
show of danger, and therefore of need for
more troops and more harsh laws and
moro prescription.
On the other hand, tits not wise for the
people of the South TO give up their hope
of relief and yield to the impulses of cut
ragged human nature There were many
