sberrnan's Malignity'

In his NJ. Gilesd speed Of August
last. sHERMAs let out his hatred OF
the southern people. Read few Of
his usterancss on that occasion. 10
said:
~ The Republican party Is faced by =
solid South, in which the negro is de-
prived, substantially, Of all his political
rights by open violence or by fraud as
mean as any that have been committed
by penitentisry convicts, and ss openly
and boldly done as any highway ROD
berry. BY this system, and by the sc-
ouiescence Of few northern States, the
men who led in the civil war have been
restored to power, and hope, pract'caiiy'
10 reverse all the results Of the war;
"This is the spectre that now hsunts
American politics, and may make 1t
inst As vital and necessary to appeal TO
The northern States to unite against TINS
evil not so open and arrogant as slave
ry. but more dangerous and equally un-
just"
.Pcnitentiary conyicts Highway
robbery ~ And this malignant called
to Virginia to address the people nc
thus SANDERS when he is at home.
"Tbe men who led in the civil war"
are criminals except such as MALONE,
who now ally themselves with SHEER
NAN.
Note. too, that this malignant says it
is necessary again to appeal to the
northern States against the acts OF the
southern people. viii the people OF
virginia endorse SHERMAN's declara-
lions by returning to the United States
Senate WILLIAM MAHcNE, the man
who has invited him to come to this
State and repeat his odious speeches
heret We quote again from SHER-
MANS Mt. Gilead speech:
"In the South it may be said that no
known Union man has been appointed
to Office. The offices are filed from
the rebel ranks. No man who acquicsces
in the results Of the war, who honora-
bly, demands fair ballot and fair
count, can be appointed to office in the
South. The rebels are in as absolute
mastery in the South as they would
have been if the Confederacy had sue
ceeded.
Fellow-citizens, the line drawn be-
tween the two parties is now as distinct
as 1t was during the war;"
What think you Of that as coming
from q man invited by the Mahoneites
to come to Virginia to teach you your
duty to your country?
Let us hear SHERMAN once more
Sometimes l fear that our modera-
ton is vergiDg on indifference that
while our minds are distracted by local
politics the old doctrines are being re-
yived again. We forget sometimes
that it was the Union cause that won,
and not the rebel cause. | have re-
Gently heard Jefferson Davis, in the SEN
ate Of the United States, e1tolled as
patriot, and | have been called in ques-
ton for denouncing him as conspira-
tor and traitor.
81 have seen many signs Of dispo-
sition to waive all the glorious results
of the war to make no difference be-
tween the blue and the gray; to revive
again the doctrines of secession and
State rights taught before the war.
The tendency Of the Democratic party
is ali that way."
If JEFF. DAVIS was "a CONSPI-
RATOR AND TRAITOR" General
ROBERT Z. LEE was also one. So was
General FITZ LEE.
What means MALONE by inviting
this man SHERMAN to visit this State
in the character of speaker? Is he
proper man to address "CONSPIRA-
TORS AND TRAITORS?
