upon our "Wnr Grumblc." 1t was i'll
fact quite n sensation article that it got
up on the subject.
What we said
eff there is any chance (ofwar), how
cvctwe do no not sec why thcaouth should
gricvc. 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

What the "Ncws" says:
"Lct all men who love their country
ponder we'll this language, and let every
Republican know it byheart!
"Lct every former slave within these
States remember that he was made free
by the power Of Che United States Gov
crnment alone, and that the Democracy
of South Carolina boldly declares itself
,infriendly to tint government?
"Let every other evil come soonertl,an
the success Of party whose avowed doc
'trines strike at the very life of the nation !
ssBut,-
eff this is only Times Democracy, let
the other Democratic journals say SOP
We also say, "let all men who love
their country ponder we'll this language"
of ours. Let them, in doing so, not mis-
take their love of self for love of coun-
try-but remember that the unpat,iotic
conduct, the selfish 'maiignant treatment
by the North Of the "South" has 'des-
troyed Southern interest in the present
dynasty at Washington, d. c., except
'such rs is aroused by the application of
Ats power to grind us in thcdust. This
IS tire natural result of the "cowardly
tyranny"
This is all that we intended to say. 1t
is all thatwe have said. Read for your
selrcs carefully and see. Then rcmcm-
Der. Take'it'to bed and pray to God to
give YOU charity, if not honorand honesty,
toinducc you to refrain from counten-
ancing such outrage us tends naturally
TO make those men, who were once the
boast and ornaments of our government,
objects of fear and suspicion. This state
Of affairs, together with its effect of es-
tranging the South, is recognized as true
by the whole press Of the country, North
and South, Republican as we'll as Demo
crat. We claim no discovery of mares
nest.
The "Ncws" nor nobody else can make
a party question of lit unless first they
father the brutality. The liberal Re
publicans Of the North have already
recognized the brutality, and avowed
their intention to have it stopped, and
we are with them, yet by no means Re
publicans. Is the "News"itoo illibera to
entertain this move and its motive? If so
we would gladly hear. We arc echari-
table enough to believe thar it is simply
behind the "rimes" 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 sauh 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
ling to stem 1.-The current of the whrl-
wind That every such appeal is worse
than useless, it can have no weight abroad
except to class the writer of it with those
pnrtisan leaders Who Marp q fact SO as. to
