ABOUT LETTING BY CONES BE

unrepentant rebels of the South is not 81
much in what they openly display pur
pose for, as in their semi concealed in.
tentions of future action. Fortunately
they have no: been so successful in hid
ing these intentions but that those who
have taken the pains to watch them have
been able to detect here and there, re-
vealed through the fimsy disguise of their
outward showings the true indications OF
what they mean to do if ever the oppor-
| tunity offers itself. When the rebel
| States have come to be restored to their
relations with the Union they have al
ways gone through with the form of Civ
ing full acquiescence in the letter, if
not the spirit of the amended National
Constitution and the Reconstruction acts.
1t was necessary, in order that they
should be in harmony with the Govern
ment of the country that they should
seem to accept in good faith the condi-
tons of their renewed relationship with
the Union. Setting aside the eagerness
displayed by the rebel communities to
accept reconstruction as misinterpreted
by Andrew johnson and treating of their
more recently shown prochvities. look
at what was attempted, last year. in
North Carolina. No sooner had the Ku
klux got into power than they attempted
to so amend their constitution as to prac-
tically retract all their implied promises,
made while they were seeking to be rep
resented in Congress. They employed
their restored Sovereignty to repudiate
everything to which they had seemed to
give an acquiescenee when, by the for
giving spirit which has ever prevailed
amongst the representatives of the Re
publican party. they had been taken back
under the folds of the flag whose signifi-
canoe and authority they had attempted
to spurn and nullify.
But we need not go back even SO far
as to the last years performances OF the
North Carolina Democracy to be warned
of the dangers to be unprecedented from a
