Which Was Right!

To northern people, generally, 1t seems
late day to discuss the question as to which
party was night in the great civil war Of
1861 and they are disposed TO assert that
the question was decided by the result Of
the war. On the other hand the great
body OF the Southern people are not dis
posed to leave it there and still claim that
they we're right and the North was wrong
Now We are not disposed to wave the
bloody shirt or reopen questions which
we're really decided by the war, but the
Southern people bring up the question on
every possible occasion and we have no
alternative but to meet il squarely,
OF recent declarations on that subject
we have space to quote only two or three.
Gov. Bate of Tennessee, stamping for re.
election says: "Rather than acknowledge
that the confederacy was wrong, and that
was wrong in fighting for it, hope that
may be buried with my face toward hell
aud my back toward heaven"
Geo. w. Cable Of New Orleans in his
recent story, "Dr SEWER" published in
the Century magazine took occasion to say
in speaking OF the Northern soldiers that
they were right This called out on open
letter 10 the same magazine written by
Southern man IN which he claims that tho
great body Of Southern people do not be-
lieye that the North was right. Mr. Cable
in his reply is forced to acknowledge that
this is true, but be asserts that 1t ought not
to be true
Gen. 7. T. Beauregard III his account Of
the battle Of Bull Run claims that the
war might have resulted in the independ-
ence OF the Southern Confederacy if some
other man than JEFF Davis had been at its
head and different policy in the conduct
OF the war had been adopted. We think
this opinion is quite generally shared by
leading men Of the South.
Fit istrue that the great body OF South
ern people still believe that they we're
right and the North Was wrong and that
the only mistake they made was having
JEFF Davis at the head Of affairs, then We
submit that II is not yet time to entrust
the affairs o. the nation to the party which
Is controlled by the South. We do Lot
bring up that issue but il is forced upop u.s.

fifteen per cent tax than under the old
