The danger of keeping alive sectional
issues and fighting over the war after ,ts
termination, does not originate with the
real lighting men of the war. Gen.
burnside, himself brave man, "sees no
danger in the election of ex-Confeder:
ate officers to Congress-" because ba
knows the instincts of the true soldier
revolt at idle vaporing and buster
AND he is not unobservant of the csursa
OF the "ex-Confederate" soldiers who have
oeen sent to Congress. For example, take
Gen. Gordon, of Georgia. Who has
done more than this Confederate of the
hon-heart to smooth away the passions
OF the war? Contrast his speeches with
tne violent rant of his colleague, Norwood
whose anger never rose until after the
war lake Gen. Ransom, of North
Carolina, since his election to the Senate
and find single utterance which
would excite the apprehensions of the
country that the issues settled bv the
war are to be revived in the event of the
success of his party; or that would fnr.
