Cancellation. !

y, avery consideration the tide OF recon-
citation ought now 20 be steadily and IRE
sistibly moving onward. We believe that IT
is. For every attempt to obstruct 1t there
have been signs that prove them to be I'm.
avasipg. The Republican party IS not
Satisfied that the sec,opalisms and ran
cors engendered by the war can be dis'
pensed with as yet. MoRToN plainly con-
fessed this in his feeble bill Of indictment
against the South, 10 which he charged sna'
the leading southern men were piottins
a new rebellion. No political move on
the chess-board for long time mas oeeu
more completely failure. 1t has mace
no impression. In all quarters OF the Norm
there appears to be such profound lndlher-
once 70 ALI the manufactured southern hor-
rors that even the bitterest Radical sneess
have ceased to circulate them. The leading
Republican politicians have altogether re-
;tc,ei them as staple articles in their speeches,
and so profoundly is Vice-President WILSON
impressed with the idea that the rocstablish-
ment Of entire harmony In the nation is near
q. hand that he finds it necessary, in pro-
noting his own ambition, to drop the past
altogether and 10 place his chances entirely
upon Cancellation.
The rude and malicious conduct OF the
Radicals Of the Northwest in attempting 70
fice the public heart against Mr. DAVIS be-
cause some coucilatory persons cut there &c.
sired to have him amongst them and TO hear
him speak. seems but to have drawn down
very general censure upon those guilty. OF
such bad manners and bad temper. MI. IA
Wis is at the same time warmly commended
tor the noble manner in which ne oofe anu
treated the unprovcked insults.
To. dav we publish the fact that another
community IN Illinois, living high up ID the
State. has invited Mr.. DAVIS to address au
AGRICULTURAL society, and that he has accepted
the invitation. We suppose this comes vi
the shameful conduct Of the Wlnneoasos'
We can we'll imagine that the friends OF con-
citation IDS Illinois might look upon courte'
sizes extended 10 Dir. DAVIS in that State as
the proof OF an advanced stage OF restora'
ton aud harmony aud that these who en-
terrain this view, cna srined at the failure oil
the attempt to give this proof of good feel
ipg in Winuebago, should with the more
aiacri;y attempt elsewhere to carry II
out. We hope we are not mistaken
aud tba, this second move may terminate pro
ptiously. VIZ believe it will do as mucl
good to Mr.. DAVIS himself as to any OF us
fellow citizens. He has been the object Of
some very brutal insults, and has unqucs'
tionably been affected by them. We douo'
not that these things have been the cause
more or less, OF what has been considered by
some calm-tcDpered people indiscresIons II
Mr. DAVIS. A little kindness and courtesy
from quarters where be least looked for tnen
will have happy Influence upon his own
feelings, aud assist to throw some pleasant
sunshine upon life which has been for years
passing through something like mserere
We believe that the tide is flowing OF, and
the attempt OF men and parties TO check II
will bc unavailing-as unavailiDg as was Mrs
PARTISGToN's effort to sweep out the sea, OF
AS would be an effort to dam the Mississippi
