The Orangeburg news. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1867-1875, 1872-03-16

part ot tne writer.
The Times of the 2Sth ult. used in
its celebrated "yYar GrumbIe," the fol.
lowing language:
eff there is any chance (of war;
ice ito not see why tic .SouM shouhl
griere."
Upon which the News of the I'd
inst. remarked, that it appeared there
from that the Democratic party Of the
South entertained toward the United
States this feeling:
"That the South should f,.d no reason
for grief in the prospect that our gov
ernment may become involved in foreign
war"
The same "Grumble" contained the
following language:
"D England be the contestant WE
NEED NOT BE OVER ANXIOUS Mat hep
success an crippliny Unc1c Sam should
be speedy, PROVIDED SHE DOES EVEN
TuALLY SUCCEED"
Upon which VIC remarked also on the
2d instant that the Southern Democratic
feeling apparent thereirom was,
'That in the case of war Jct,cccn Tie
tnttcd States an0 England, tic .Somh
NEED ONLY BE ANXIoUs-not that the
war should not be protractcd, bloody aud
cruel, but-Mat England should EVEN
TUALLY SUCCEED"
We gave the Times article entire
aud then gave our construction of it.
Whether our construction WIS unwar-
ranted we leave willingly to the public.
We concluded our remarks on the
same occasion by saving:
eff this is only Times Democracy let
the other Democratic journals say sov'
Well, we haven't as yet heard single
word from any other Democratic paper
indicating non- concurrence with the
e Times.
But wo find in the zGino. Of .hu 18th
(we hope that excellent journal will not
consider accuracy of date as a crime
against good taste, or as impugning its
fbriskness in any dcgree,) this further
language upon the samo famous "Grum-
BILE" and our remarks thereanent
Owe also say let all men who love
their country ponder well this language
ogf ours. Let them, in doing SO, not mis-
take their love of self for love Of country
but remember that the unpatriotic
conduct, the selfish malignant treatment
: by tho North of the South has dcs-
troyed Southern interest in the present
dynasty at Washington, d. c., except
such as is aroused by the application Of
ats power to grind us iii the dust This
Is the natural result OF the cowardly
tyranny
This is all that We intended to say.
1t Is all that we have said"
Now We are very glad to be Informed
that, after all, the feeling of the Times
amounts merely to want of interest in
the "present dynasty at Washington, d.
O." and that it entertains no desire
whatever for Eaglands ''eventual sue
cess" in case of war. The thrill of
JOY which is sure to pervade every limb
OF our national government upon learn
ing that the Times will be merely neu.
tral while old England is pounding
away at us, is something delightful to
reflect upon. IF VIC could only be salts
fed of the equally patriotic conduct of
the other Democratic papers our cup of
human delights would be full, aud we
could listen to nunc dimiUis with the
supremest satisfaction.
We could then ask of the gods but ono
>, last boon erequitting this mortal walo,"
that our receding vision might behold,
in not too remote distance, the Times
and its brothers joining, with full chorus
and from their hearts of hearts, in the
loyal strain (but apostrophizing America
instead of Rrittannia) of the mol 10
English poet nd patriot of old,
& "England, wth all thy .fauits l love thee
