there is no reason why this should
not occur; that the feeling in the
North against the chief figures in the
Civil war on the Southern side has
well nigh subs;ded; that this bar
against Southern men will soon be re-
moved, and that no consideration Of
reason or expediency can justify its re-
tention much longer This is q hopefu
view to take Of the situation-a little
too hopeful perhaps. Sectional pre-
judice is not yet so dead that in might
not be revived and kindled into q
glowing flame upon slight provoca'
ton. But that it is no longer the
power in politics that it use to be,
there can be no doubt. For all of
which let us be duely grateful, a con-
summation more deycutly to be
wished for could scarcely be con-
ceived by even the most fertile i'm
Imagination. How greatly the south
has been made to suffer fr m this
bitter and apparently unyielding pre-
iudice, which the Globe Democrat
affects to believe has been relegated
10 the past in the minds of our once
unrelenting enimies, will perhaps
never be fully realized and certainly
can never be wholly expressed. Let
us then gladly join in the hope, how
ever fatuous, which the Globe has
so frankly and with apparent sin
certy expressed.
