NBA8 TCiFHE NORTH. South has re-
lCently set the, North an example Of good
nsnf md in Christian charity. A
lfe~ -HfhlIaAaRo. Congressman Lamar, Of
E4iAsi6sibHfapd Senator Gordon, OF
FS3der Yssfted New Hampshire to speak
Ter tue aSnocIatic ticket. Their records
IN EonB4cSH hnd shown them to he more
onseSySffy6 in their views than the ma
jority OF the members Of the Democratic
party. Their speeches had been elo-
quent with patriotic love for the Union,
and warm with desire for II return of
brotherly feeling between the North and
the South. Their utterances in New
Hampshire were exactly the same in
character, and far more patriotic than
those Of their opponents, who sough! to
carry the State Oh the old war issues.
The election was held, and tho South
erners went home. The Administration
press of the North sent after them a ma
liynnnt shower of sneers and abuse, un-
mingled with u single kind or generous
word, in return for the longing for peace
which they had so earnestly uttered.
Simultaneously with their return,
large number of Northern Republicans
started for the South. None of them
had been more just to the South than
had Messrs. Lamar and Gordon to the
| terly unjust. But mark the greeting
TINT was given them. Not harsh or an
unkind word was said. In severnl note
bio instances, the visitors were greeted
! with public demonstrations of welcome,
and the press spoke courteous words in
| their favor. In Galveston, when the re-
port reached there that Tice-President
Wilson was to pay the city visit, the
Chamber Of Commerce passed n series of
resolutions bidding him q cordial well
come. He did not go aa he hal intended,
but the act WINS no less praiSewOrthy
Isn't 1t about time the Northern partisan
learned that it is not necessary to hate
and abuse the South in order to appear
patriotic?-- -fe,c York 1ribn.'.
