National Feeling.

The New York Tribune assumes that the
work of fraternal cooperation which COM
menced actively in the GREELEY campaign
has steadily progressed. It ailudes with sat-
isfaction to the testimony showing the truth
Of this assertion afforded in +" the renewal of
Mfrsaernal feeling and the bonds of brother!

"on the one hand, the representative
southern men who took part in hememo-
rial exercises, instead of making it the op-
por,unity for reviving the bitter memories of
the past and renewing the old differences
and disputes, seized the occasion to renew
their allegiance to the Union, and to record
again their acquiescence 10 the results of the
war. On the other hand, the feeling Of the
North was expressed in the utterances of all
the prominent journals, which were char
acterized By an entire absence Of spirit Of
criticism aud by warm and generous sym.
patty with the tributes paid to the manly
qualities Of earnestness and sincerity with;
which their hero was so grandly endowed.
The sentiment Of the southern people and
their disposition toward the Government
were indicated in the Grafton of the Rev. DR..
Hoge. There was no pretepce of recantation
Of old opinions, nor any offensive assertion
Of them. He said:
"sThe people OF the South maintained, as
sheir fathers maintained before them, that
certain principles were essential to the per-
1Atustion OF the Union according to its orig
Ai Constitution. Rather than surrender
their convictions they took up arms to de-
1snd them. The appeal was vain. Defeat
came, and they accepted it with its conse-
:qusoces just as they would have accepted
victory With its fruits. They have sWorn 70
maintain the government as il is noW con-
sti'uted. They will not attempts again to
assert their views Of State sovereignty byian
appeal 70 the swerd. None feel this obliga-
ten TO be more binding than the soldiers OF
fhs late Confederate armies. Asoldier's pa
role is sacred thing, and the men who are
willing to die for principle 10 time Of war
are the men Of al. others most likely to maiu-
hahn their personal honor in time Of peace.',' 2,
