CoMMENDING SWEENEY.

The Memphis appeal seems TO think
Peter 3. Sweeney pretty clever man, af-
ter all the recent exposures in which his
name has figured in a rather unenviable
way. Here is what it says:
1t is asserted by very many people that Peter
b. Sweeney is the only honest man, thoroughly
incorruptible, who has been connected with the
villainies of Tammany; of all Of them he was
innocent and ignorant. Such are assertions
made by New Y orlI letter-writers, and it is but
Just to give Mr.. Sweeney the benefit of their
allegations. Sweeney is man of taste in let
ters reticent, charitable, a thinker and philoso-
pher, transformations, but an intense Halter. His
habits of life are faultless, and his sympathies
with the virtuous and good rather than the vi
cOus and depraved.
The appeal may have better facilities
for judging of his sympathies than we
have, but we have been led to believe they
were anything else but with the "virtuous

a DEMOCRATIC CARPET-BAGGER.

After hearing so much abuse heaped
upon carpet-baggers from various sources,
we had expected that when Democracy
came in the South, that carpet-baggers
would stand no chance with them. But
it seems that we were entirely mistaken,
John NJ. Common, just elected to Congress
from Texas, it seems was appointed to the
regular army from Indiana, and in the lang
uage OftheLOuisvilleC OnsnsoTcidLth "shine
of shoulder straps had scarcely "furled
from his manly form before his election"
He is so proud of his 'permOtion," that he
could hardly wait until the votes were
counted out before he started back to his
native town to tell his old friends and
neighbors what greatma he hadgott to be.
The way he exposed the carpet-baggers of
the South in talking to his old Democratic
neighbors was truly refreshing. He evil
IDENTIFY thought that he was drawing a
heart-relding picture of the sufferings of
his constituents, who are not allowed to
keep up an innocent organization known
us the kuklux khan, by which they could
keep up something of the old feeling in
their bosoms, which prompted them to
"wallop niggers." Their liberty in this
respect is retraincd in most wanton man

who pass laws to suppress such Organiza-

Robert Anderson, with his gallant little
band, were attacked with so much pomp
and parade by the mob then assembled
with Beauregard as their leader. And
then suppose such atender had been made,
does he think, or does any one suppose
that the President of the United States,
after taking the oath prescribed by the
Constitution, and with the loyal
Iegions of the free States to back him,
would so far compromise himself and the
country, as to submit to so disgraceful a
proposition? Such a proposition is too
absurd for a school boy to entertain The
fact is, and everybody knows it, that seces-
sion meant war, and the leaders in the
movement went into it knowing this to be
so, therefore they have the weight of the
dreadful responsibility assumed, upon
them, and there it must rest for all time to
come. He who would instill into the
minds of any people, such poison as is con-
tanned in this disgraceful harangue, de-
serves their everlasting scorn and contempt.
If, unfortunately, they should accept his
teachings and regulate their future con
duct thereby, they themselves will prove a
curse to the fair land which they in

L" NOTHING SETTLED"

General Jubal a. Early has recently
made a speech before the South Carolina
Survivors Association in which we find
the following remarkable language:
My comrades, much loose language has
been used, by friend as we'll as foe, upon this
subject of submitting our rights to the arbitra-
mcnt of arms; bat in no sense can the Southern
States be said to have submitted their right to
withdraw from the Union to any such arbitra-
mcnt They exercised that right which was
theirs, and rendered q peaceab'e settlement of
all the questions growing out of their with
drawal. a war of invasion and coercion was
most unjustly and ruthlessly waged against
them, and they resorted to arms to defend their
rights, their country, their homes their all
against the sword, robbery and fire combined,
all Of which were used by the spoiler The re-
salt of the war settled no question Of right but
merely furnished another instance of the fact
that in this world truth and justice do not al
ways prevail, and that might is often more pow
erful than right
When is this country to recover from the
influence of such disturbers of the public
peace as this man has proven himself to
be? 1t would have been a hundred times
better for the people of the whole country,
and more especially for the people of the
South, if such men had never been born.
Unfortunately, they have sustained the
character of leaders, many of them, and
this makes it so much worse That Early
possesses some capacity as a military man,
no one questions, and his services in
the rebel cause during the late war
have given him a standing with the
Southern people, which makes his
declarations weightier than those of
Toombs, or even of Alexander H. Ste
phens. Such teaching as this is calcula-
ten to prolong the spirit of strife between
the two sections of our country to an indefi-
mite period. He talks about exercising a
right-alluding to the secession of the
Southern States says peaceable set
Element o. all questions growing out of
their withdrawal was rendered. Peace
