ing on a recent patriotic speech of Mr..
billiard, of Georgia, says
However distasteful to US it may be-
the southern orator must be permitted
to speak with some degree Of regret Of
southern failure, and with affection of
men like Lee and Stonewall Jackson.
We may pardon this when such eulO-
gies are qualified by an earnest profes-
sion es present loyalty. Why should
we be too eager to detect inconsistent
cy? We have forgiven and forgotten
the southern sympathies of scores OF
northern politicians; shall we be less
generous toward those who, if they
erred, did so naturally? The fighting is
over, and so the feud should be. The
Union always was and always viii be
based upon sentiment. IF we can
turn the current of southern senti-
ment in the right direction, and make
the quondam enemies of the Union
love it instead Of hating it, we shall
have Union indeed. lii we were VIC
tors, it may be equally ifnpolitic and
ungenerous to be always saying so.
