The tever-scourge at the South has
called into exercise the sympathies of all
pats OF the country. Yet. strange to saw.
while this is true, partisan warfare against
the North goes on unchecked. The old
political spirit which refuses to down at
any "policy" OF Cancellation. asserts itself
as vehementIy and as generally as though
nothing uncommon had happened. At
the very time when the charity of the
North is invoked in behalf of desolated
places in Mississippi. the Democratic
Committee OF that State appeals to its
party in temper far removed from for
bearance and truth. The sick are unat-
tended the dead unburied, and the Door
united, while the democratic managers de-
vote themselves assiduously to the pro-
mitigation of malignant partisan false.

strained their tongues, shat they are busy

adherents with an energy which suggests
that in their minds the sole duty OF the
Southern citizen, even now, is to subjugate
republicans and bring the North to terms.
