A sampls Of Southern Opinion.

The refusal Of Congress to pass the amnesty
bill is not in keeping with the glory and gush ei
the Centennial year. Itis not calculated to in.
crease brotherly love between the sections and
does not accord with the manly utterancss OF
Bunker Hill and Lexington the past year. 1t
leaves but one impression on the Southern mind;
that this /. not our Centennial and that We may
best minister to its success BY letting It severely
alone.
Next Fourth of July will be celebrated In Phil.

speeches made and the air will resound with
music and song. The descendants Of the Pilgrim

National Republican., 1876-02-01

IT WILL be seen by O notice in our local
columns that tine resident and soiourning
Southern Republicans in this city have de
terIaincd to effect an organization, repre-
sentative in its character, by which they
lnsy ultimately place themselves in proper
and truthful light before the country. II
i well known that during the past few
years particularly il has been a most diff
cult thing to obtain full and correct reports
of the real condition of political affairs in
the Southern States. So conflicting and
widely different in their nature have been
statements from that section that those who
were not wellinformcd touching the South
have been unable to sift out the true from
the false, and hence the widely prevailing
feelings of distrustand apathy, even among
Republicans, when the most appalling re-
ports Of violence and outrage came from
that quarter. If it be true, as is believed
on conclusive evidence by many, that Re-
publicanism in the South lies to day pros
trate and bleeding and almost hopeless
ny the policy of force, intimidation and
murder, by which it has been overpowcred,
the fact is neither understood nor appre-
ciated in the North, and hence we hear the
cry Of "bloOdy shirt whenever a new life
i sacrificed, and the people are warned to
withhold their sympathy and to attach no
Importance to the crime. Southern Repub-
licans have suffered much from persecution
at home and the lukcwarmuess with which
heir wrongs have been received by the
loyal masses of the North, and have very
properly determined TO at least seek vindi-
cation before the country. The proposed
organization, if properly conducted, may
accomplish much good, and is deserving of
encouragement.
