tothe support of the Administration Through
thick and thin" are just now busily engaged
in drumming up recruits for their failing
cause by proclaiming the advent of q new
rebellion. This clumsy device will not win.
1t has long since become fiat, stale and un-
profitable-inCmpable even of Tightening old
women or young children. There is not
now, nor has there ever been since the con-
clusion of the war, any disposition on the
part of the Southern people to resist Federal
authority by force of arms. They accepted
the results of the war in good faith, intend
ing to abide by them, no matter what incon-
4 venience and suffering might be entailed
thereby. s4fU Y.7.
A few minor outbreaks have occurred here
and there, under excessive and long continued
provocation, or through the fundamentally
of such desperate characters as may be found
| in any community but in no section of the
South does disposition exist to attempt the
repeal Of obnoxious enactments, no matter
how oppressive, by the Intervention of the
sword. They have had enough, and more
than enough, of fighting, and wisely prefer
the endurance Of any quality Of wrong to the
inauguration of those greater evils which in
evitably accompany civil strife.
1.-The new rebellion. therefore, exists only
in the vivid imaginations of Southern CARPET
baggers and their Northern allies, who are
anxious to gain fresh lease of power under
the shadow Of friendly bayonets. Nothing
would please these persons better than gem
eral uprising throughout the South. They
would revel in another carnival OF blood, and
take supreme delight In Witnessing the de-
struction and death resulting from their own
miserable intrigues and depraved ambition,
for by that means, and that alone, can they
manage to keep their heads above the waves
Of opular wrath, which now promise to en-
guilt them speedily and forever.
But we ask any honest man 10 consider how
long the North would submit patiently and |
peacefully to the wrongs which have been
hoaped upon the South these years past2 How |
long would Missouri, Illinois, Indiana OF Ohio |
bow the neck to the yoke OF Kellogg and his |
minions? How .ong would Pennsylvania and |
New York sit quietly down under the system |
of legalzsd robbery and orgahEed African
ism which has well-nigh crusbed South Caro-
lima, Mississippi aud ArkHtsas out of exist |
ence? How long would Massachusetts allow |
such nest Of trickstdss and tyrauts to cum.
Der her soil as are now eating the very heart
out Of Louisiana? Had Sheridan done in Bos-
ton halt what Hhib BITS done in New Orleans, het
would have BEE 'ariven into the sea by POP i
ulation whioh however ready in times paS.to |
wink a. Tie expressions of others, has always |
been prompt to resent its own.
The Southern people, instead of ~ ceiving
wholesale condemnation for the Occasional /
iawless acts committed in that section, are /
entitled to hearty praise for 't*eir wonderful
torbsarance. They have Sc. an example in
this respect which it wotlE be exceedingly |
difficult for other portions of the Union,
under similar circumstances, to initiate. The
next generation of Americans will wonder,
not that the South was 80 FESTIVE under the
saddle and spur OF Radical reconstruction,
but that it was SO quiet. And they will
wonder, too, that such patience was allowed
to go 80 long unappreci~ted and unrewarded.
