The Southern people do not want
another war, This is what the Atm
ia (Ga) Constitution has to say about
the war talk of Northern Democratic
newspapers.
"The war talk We sec in the news
papers is not refreshing. It makes US
shudder. There is something so san
culinary in the spectacle of consump-
tive editor, With bis shirt collar cut
low in the neck and his pantaloons
calling loudly for reform. squatting
himself upon his eloquent launches
and firing cf imaginary horse pistols,
that we involuntarily desire to retreat
to the rear Not that we are opposed
to war-not at all; but if there is to
be war we want the patriots Of the
North and West to have it out among
themselves. The South has bee",
crushed in the struggle, and the
Northern Democrats have stood by
and watched the crushing process with
infinitely more curiosity than interest.
Howbeit, the turn of the wheel has
brought them face to face with the
same deadly elements of despotism.
If they subm,t-well. If they resist,
they must fight on their side Of the
line"
