The Course OF the Rad Gals 7s. tho South.
rrn Stalea,


from the sEccrh Of Senator BAyArd,
! in the United States Senate:
"Ihc Southern States we're over
throw IL their struggle for i separate
national existence. Heroes Of the
South gave up their swords 70 heroes
cf the North, who received their pa
+ roles of honor, which have been kept
ever since inviolNtc. Gbastly and
dreadful AZ we've the wounds iniicted
iii that terrible struggle, yet, at its
close, there stood the great ris mcdi.
catiEr nrfarp, ready ana able TO draw
together the ragged edges, bind up
the la"rratcd parts, and let them heal
! 'by their iir't atten'ion.' Time, too,
who lessons every human grief,
would have covered with his wings
much Of the natural bitterness cngen.
dcrgd in such Il striie aud stccrcd it
in oblivion. IL a wise ana generous
policy had, in 1865, been proposed
and followed by Congress toward those
who SO lately had confronted them in
, arms, but who had fully and wholly
surrendered the argument Of force,
and had freely given the mos. unmis.
taxable evidence and pledges of their
willingness to accept the situation,
and conform their former professions
to the logical demands Of events, how
easy and how certain would have been
thcrcstoration Of that Union 50 dear
to tho Amcricon heart?
"But, Senators of the radical par
ty, you prevented this scousummation
SO ,devoutly to DO wished. aud did it
for the sake Of party ends. Tie
South was DOM, and when she was
down You struck her. Your blows
wcro foul blows, and cried shame up
on yon rs you Inflicted them. You
have unnecessarily aud wickcd!y add
cd humiliation to the cup Of sorrow
the Southern people bave beon com,
rollcd TO drink, and drink so deeply.
\ brave and generous people by the
, fortunes of war werc subjected to
your rule. Their hands we're sire oh.
cd out to you aud were reicc.od their
honest pride ingeniously and cruelty
wouudcd and yoa have lost that CON
fdence and friendship which, for the
sake Of your country, yon should have
cultivated and valued.
"By your course Of action, tho poo
!; pic Of the other sections Of the Union
have bcen deprived Of their natural
allies and anxiliarics in bearing their
! vast burdens OF national debt and
taxation, AMI the advancement of
! your conntry's property has been
greatly retarded, You have placed
and kept the people Of the South in
/. loathsomo snbj2ction to the most de-
based and worthless cla$ses of their
inhabitants, at tho cost and not only Of
justice, decency and good governm cnt,
but also at an enormous pecuniary cx
pense to tho Northern and W Wcstern
people. And in order to accomplish
ali this, it WAS necessary that you
should disregard and violate nearly
every limitation Imposed Upon your
power ~ tho Federal Constellation,
and postpone almost ind cfnitcly the
time whom thc States Of the South
shall be a source Of strength, happi-
ness and pride to those of the other
sections Of the Union. Will you be
sustained in all this by your people I
1t is gravo question, which, for the
sake of tho Union of our fathers |
trust may soon be answered III the
negative"
How much Is expressed III the fine
! old sentiment, live and let 1.-Two! How
blessed is the man who lives and lets
live How cheering to SEQ his fields
tccming with tho richest vcrdurc
! what pleasure to look on and see his
) sleek and plump animals of every
ago and variety! Whore, iu the
/, world besides, can be found sucl
happy faces, such contcntcd spirits
and such grateful hearts as eau be
found on his estate May God for
i ever bless hose whose real, heartfelt
sentiments are, "Live and let livc."
