BLOODY SHIRT PAPERS!
NUMBER XVIII.

NUMBER XVIII.
Following upon the heels of the declaration
that "the past should be forgotten" comes soft
talk from Southern Democratic friends
about "the old South," and "the new South
The recent resurrection of JEFF Davis knocked
to pieces the idea of forgetfulness, and upset
without ceremony, the Democratic pretension
That there is propriety in the Southern States
paying fitting tribute to the brave men who
| fell in the war-evep though fighting against
the Government of the United States-no citi-
| zen of the North will care to question for the
purpose of unpleasant discussion. But that the
occasion should be made time for resurrecting
all that is infamous in the history of the Rebel
lion, and of SOLDERING over the most accursed
and infamous traitor this country ever knew,
many people will deny. 1t is claimed that SOL
ftaTy confinement is the most terrible punish
ment known to prisons. Upon this theory Mr..
Davis retirement to his Mississippi home has
doubtless caused q long season of deep but undis-
turbed reflection upon the crowning infamy of
| his life. Knowing that he deserved but deaf h
at the hands of the authorities, and KNOWN g
that his responsibilityfor the horrors of South
| ern prison pens is as familiar to the people of
this country as any other point in history, il is
not strange that the old traitor should remain
| soured during the years that borrowed of
Federal magnanimity, and continue in state
| of bitter hatred toward the North-the power
lhat upset ms 1oho scheines OF OBSTRUCTION.
During JEFF IS trip to Atlanta, a few days ago. at
one station he said:
"You have heard of the lost cause. 1t is not
lost It will live again. It is not dead, but sleep
| lost while the fair women of the land smile
upon it.

fellows always felt guilty. They would threat
en- to vote for Vallandigham in 1863 then
when the time came. would feel too mean over
if hack ont and write TO their friends that tbey
were not nermitted TO vote. This was all non
sense We remember a. case in point: An old
tira Dan,oorat from Scioto County came tn MS
one dav inst before the election and said al am
going to vote for vsIIandiobam. and 7 don't

to- but for Gods sake carry it out by deserting,
and don't have the cheek to come up and look
the bows in the face again!~ He didn't vote.
Manv of the Northern Democrats who smiled
mockinpIv at the outbreak of the war, soon
reacbed that noint where the smile lost its
s,yeetness IT was even more particularly the
case with the Southern Demo The smiles
of the fair ladies of the South over the prelimi-
nary parade of the hosts of the arch-traitor,
were soon supplanted by bIanched cheeks, and
flowing tears
