THE BEAUREG AR ID RESOLU-
TIONS.

guarded iii their comments, the Plea
y1ae especially, thinking that "when
accepted by positive acton, and COM
pleted by positive amendments, which
mature consideration in view of all
sides and of success might suggest, it
will be time enough to discuss the
unifcation movement"
Nor are the Northern papers silent,
though of course there is not the ssme
unanimity of opinion on the subject
among them, as that which exists at
the South. The following extract
from the New York Commercial i'd
vertiser, a Radical journal, expresses
the views, doubtless, of very respec-
table portion of the Northern people,
respectable for numbers as well as for
other things. The Ad0ertiser says
" The Beauregard manifesto sub
s' stantially tenders the blacks of Lou
I" isiana ''social equality" That Is
i" the one thing which the signers
60 have not the power to confer. Po-
" itical and civil equality is already
/" guaranteed-be beyond this it is impos-
I" sible to go. Human nature has
" ordinances that are omnipotent III
L" the premises, and that they forbid
:" the fulflment of the promise here
{" held forth, none know better than
those who propose to violate them. >.
Another portion of the Northern
people doubtless think there is no diff
ference between the races, and see no
objection on the score of taste OF
principle or otherwise to perfect
unifcation, amalgamation and misceg-
enation.
The following extracts show the
prevailing sentiment at the Sc nth, and
we present first an extract from the
Norfolk Tlryinian, because, amongst
other reasons, it affords us an OppOr-
tunity to express our sincere gratlii-
cation at the high compliment our
esteemed cotemporary was pleased to
pay the JoRNAL.
From the Norfolk V.reinian.l
On this subject we copy from one Of
our North Carolina exchanges. and we
have selected this, not only on account
of the reputation of the paper we
quote, but for the further reason that
our sister State has endured every
wrong, injury and outrage to which

weil-considered article as follows
eve do not for moment wish to be
evils that have befallen that unhappy
State. They have been and still are
such as to shock every better feeling
of human nature. But they are not
without parallel, nor do they, in our
opinion, justify the entire surrender of
principle that the New Orleans resolu-
tions propose to make.
''It affords US no pleasure to talk
thus, and did not duty bid us speak
out, pain and modification would keep
us silent. But we have public duty
to perform, and that duty bids us de-
clare the unifcation of the white and
black races, and the obliteration of the
'prejudices' of race and color in the
South, will prove a curse far more
blighting than even the government of
Kirk, Holden and Bond proved to be
in North Carolina, or that of Merrill,
| Scott and Bond in South Carolina, or
that of Kellogg, Longstreet and Durell
| in Louisiana"
The utterances of the JoRRNAL cx-
press the sentiments and opinions OF
the people of the South who, though
full Of kind feeling toward the negroes,
will never adopt the policy announced
| by General Beauregard and his asso-
ciates.
From the Savannah News.l
Reauregard and his recreant associ-
| ates may promise and pledge, and the
fanatioal negrophobists of the North
may chucfSle and exult over the surren-
der extorted BY badical outrage and
oppression. But the promises of the
first and the hopes of the latter will
never be realized. It is not III the
power OF tl,e Radical leaders to contra
vene the order OF Providence. The
races were never Designed fQr such
equality, and it is not Ill the range Of
possibility, not i'll the power of human
laws to enforce it. The white man and
the negro were made separate and dis
tinct beings, and were differently en-
doyed for an a;lw,sa purpose. There
is q law Of morals W4ier2 s2ys; "Whom
God hati. united iet 10 pam gl4i 4slIEn
der" The re,s,ae Of the rule is
equally as mandatory "Whosn God
has separated let not man attempt 10
unite"
From the Richmond Enquirer

and these promises are made to ire

irresponsible element of political

makes of the white men who have en-
