When the war closed, and the South sur
rendered to the inevitable, il was hoped,
though in much doubt, that we should be-
come one people, and n homogeneity of
! feelings habits and customs would be Sc
| cured at an early day. The Government
was more than generous to the conquered
people, who had been in armed rebellion.
The Northern citizen soldiery who had bat
tied for National supremacy, with few ex-
ceptions, returned North at the close of the
war; Those who remained South were not
treated by the native white population in
the spirit now urged by our cotemporary.
They were characterized as carpet. bag
gers" and were treated as political and
social aliens by the great majority of those
who had been in rebellion Almost sixteen
years have gone by, and while the
abstract principle of homogeneity had
been desired, it has utterly failed in
all those years TO infuse itself sue
cessfully into the concrete of South
ern society or politics. The Confed-
crates in the South have eschewed the prin-
cipe and ignored the legitimate methods
by which it could possibly prevail, and for
that reason there is little or no fraternity
between the native Southrons and those
who have come among them from other
parts of our common country, and all be-
cause the former have studiously deter
mined to have il so. At the same time, no
respectable Southern man has ever visited
the North and mingled with its people
without being treated with every consider
alton of kindness and respect that attach TO
good society and good fellowship. In that
the North has set the example of homo
geneous relation between the two sections
of our common country, while the South
has us steadily resisted it by an insur-
mountable wall of prejudice and exclusive
ness. 1t is TO be hoped that the teachings
of the Gdseite may pervade the South and
bear good fruit in the future. We must
live together under one flag eitheras friends
or as enemies-there is no intermediate po-
sition.

OF course, neither party will have the
choice of the others candidate. The Demo-
Gratis seem to desire the nomination of
General GRANT by the Republicans, and
they are likely to be gratiied--not for the
reason that they desire it, but because the
Republicans so decide it, 1t now looks as
if Mr.. TILDEN would be the Democratic
nominee, and no candidate would be more
pleasing to the Republicans-yet he will
not be nominated because the Republicans
desire it, but for the reason that the
Democrats cannot honorobly do anything
else but to put him at the head of the coll
umn. He expects it, he demands it, and he
will get the nomination.
