Gen. Joseph Il. Johnston.

In a recent speech by Gen. Joseph
E. Johnston, representative man
of the South, in regard to the
scheme to array the "sSolid North"
against the South, Gen. Johnston
said:
"Without any advice at all upon
the question, / will venture to say
that the attitude of the gentlemen
from the Southern States will be
such as to disappoint the irreconcil-
ables of the opposition, who have, |
see, already begun to array a solid
South. We viii probably have lit
tie to say in reply to Radicals of this
stamp. Our acts will speak more
for Us. Sectionalism
was killed last Tuesday, and long
before 1880 the solid South and the
sold North will be forgotten terms.
The people of the South have known
for thirteen years that the war was
at an end, but these long range Rad
icalS and latter warrior cannot,
seemingly, be brOuget to a realiza-
ton of this fact. The revival of the
charge that is our settled policy to
saddle the war debt OF the C0nfed-
eracy upon the country is abs urd-
contemptibly so--and it passes my
comprehensive / how any Intelligent
reader receive such reckless inven-
tons with patience. The south is
now as cl,rse part of the Union as
is New Englind; Virginia has the
same interest in the general pros
perity of the country as Massachu-
sets and her represent ,tives and
the Representatives Of the South
will be found to be as active in sun
port of all measures tending 10 the
general good of all sections of the
country as the gentleman from
Maine or Vermont.
