growing in the minds Of some OF our
most intelligent and coolest states
men, that a very grave crisis is i'm
pending, hat may lead to a renewal
of the late civil war. The results of
the last years elections, the fact that
the Democrats will have a majority
10 the next Congress, and the GER
tainty that the secession element will
control that majority, together with
the hope Of electing the next Presi-
dent. has unclaimed rebel tongues,
and renewed rebel Vaccinations to
such an extent that Republicans in
the South are being thoroughly in
Inundated, and the rebel Democracy
exultantly proclaim their intentions
for the future. Thus, one Of the edi-
tors of the Albany Journal, who is
now in Washington, writes that
there is no Disgusting the fact-the
country is approaching a very grave
crisis. The Gaines. and most impas-
stoned men here r profoundly inn
pressed with the magnitude of the
danger" We take the following
from his letter:
Il had a two hours talk this morning
with a member of the Investigating Com
mittee which has just returned from New
Orleans member in whose GOODNESS o.
judgment and fidelity to truth and consci,
~entiousness Of character the country la:
entire confidence. The very worst, SAID
this member, that has been reported as tC
the terrible condition OF affairs in the
South does not begin TO give the whole
truth. Unless one has visited New Or
leans, the imagination cannot conceive the
dreadful reality. While the plan tor q
compromise under the auspices Of the com
mittee wa in progress in New Orleans,
scores and scores Of the leading bushes;
men. not Republicans but Conservatives,
went privately to the members and said
For Gods sake, do not leave the State
until YOU have effected q settlement Of thi;
difficulty and given us a reign OF law 2nd
order They were all intensely anxious
for the compromise. They were asked
If o would come out publicly in favor
Of this compromise, it would do much e
secure its acceptance why don't you dc
itT We dare net, was the answer Il
il were known that We were here privately
with members OF the committee, urging
the compromise, our houses and stores
would be burned over our heads within
twenty-four hours
Again, the New Orleans CORE
spondent of the Chicago Tribune
who attended the Democratic meet
ing in the former city opposed to al
compromise, SAYS: ITO have heard
the speeches on that occasion, one
would supposed that the people O.
the North, in their elections last fall
had not only given a direct express
sion against the outcome Of the adOp
ton Of the Fifteenth Amendment
but had also confessed their error il
entering into the wal in defence o.
the Union, and most humbly apollo
gized 10 the South therefor
And thenin the Louisville Courier
Journal we find tie following oper
declaration: when war comes, a.
coming it is, it shall be civil war
The North must be the scene 0
Conflict, not the South
And this is not mere idle bravadC
on part OF the CoHrier-Jouraal. L
is a Democratic journal of high au
thority in the party, that does no.
indulge in idle talk and threats, and
it undoubtedly reflects the sentiment:
and opinions of the Southern Dem.
ocratic Congressman elect. Its dec.
larations, therefor, taken in connec
ton with the state Of sentiment in
the South as portrayed by the cor.
respondents of the Albaay Journal
and the Chicago Tribune startlingly
arrest public attention, and excite
anxiety in the minds of many of the
most prudent and thoughtful of our
