The "Ncws" in its issue Of Saturday the
81, made q rather unwarrslntcd attack
upon our "Wnr Grumblc." 1t was in
fact quite sensation article that it got
up OIL the subject.
What VIC said K:
eff there is any chance (ofwar), how
cvct,we do flo not sec why tlcaouth should
grlcve. In fact We ought rather to he
indifferent spectators i'll any contest that
would interrupt the systcm Of brutal
legislation that the United States Con-
grcss has been peacefully brooding over
since the war, together with its cowardly
tyranny. If England be the contestant
we need not be over anxious that her
success i'll crippling Uncle Sam should be
speedy, provided she does eventually sue
eaad''
What the "Ncws" says:
"Lct all men who love their country
ponder we'll this language, 'and let every
Republican know it BY heart!
"Lct every former slave within these
States remember that he was made free
by the power of Che United States Gov
ernment alone, and that the Democracy
of South Carolina boldly 'dcclares itself
unfriendly to that government?
"Let every other evil come sooncrtl,an
the success of a party whose avowed doc
itripes strike at the very life of the nation
''But,
eff this is only Times Democracy, let
the other Democratic journals say o!'
We also say, "let all men who love
their country ponder well this language
of ours. Let them, in doing so, not mis-
take their love of self for love Of cou,l-
tay-1ut remember that the unpatriotic
conduct, the selfish malignant treatment
by the North Of the '"South" has des-
troyed Southern interest in the present
dynasty at Washington, ID. c., except
'sach as is aroused by the application OF
ats power to grind us in thc.lust. This
IS Fire natural result of the "cowardlv
tyranny"
This is all that we intended to say. 1t
is all that we have said. Read for your

crat. We claim no discovery of mare s
nest.
The "Ncws" nor pobody else can make
party question of it unless first they
father the brutality. The liberal Re
publicans Of the North have already
recognized the brutality, and avowetl
their intention to have it stopped, and
weare with them, yet by no means Re
publcans. Is the "News"rto illiberal to
entertain this move and its motive? If so
we would gladly hear. We arc ,chari-
table enough to believe that it is simply
behind the "Timcs." But this is not the
unwarrantable use to which we refer 1t
is this his sensational appeal to "cvcry
former slave within these (Southcrn)
States" Let the "News" recognize that,
led by s,suh men rs Schurz and Blair,
this move is grand and imposing; that
his appeal to colorcd men in behalf Of
South Carolina Radicalism is but whist
