We have urged, says the Baltimore Gazette
full, patient and prompt acquiescence in the
legitimate results of the war-in the abolition of
slavery and all its adjuncts and surroundings =
We have encouraged the emigration of honest
and decs mt men from the N forth to the South,
and b'ave insisted always that the latter should
an'. would, if permitted, cheerfully cooperate
! IN the work of reconstructing the Union aud
maintaining the Constitution. But if contempt
for the unprinciped men who direct the course
of the Radical faction if detestation of the de-
spicable means by which they have secured the
ascendency Of Radical minority in the South
ern States; if resentment at the daily and hour
" violation of the fundamental law of this land
and the overthrow Of the very cornerstone of
civil freedom On this continent; if hatred of
arbitrary rule aud military despotism if aloath-
ing of faction which seeks to perpetuate its
power By making negroes and unprincipled adj
venturers the lawmakers and governors of the
Southern people if these feelings come under
the category Of prejudices and animosities, then
do we entertain these last most cordially. We
, shall encourage them now and hereafter to the
best ofour ability we shall endeavor to strength
en- their growth in the hearts of the Southern
people, and we do most cordially pray that 10
the generations yet to come the convictions and
feelings which animate US to-day may fire every
Southern breast with ten-fold the intensity with
which we cherish them. The love Of honesty,
the love of right, the love of law and the love
of country, these are what the Radical faction
r affects to class with prejudces and animosities.
