Thc truth is, the people of the South, as a general thing, do not want men, who c m take the test oath of lStl2. to represent them. It is evidence that they did not sympathise with them in tiar struggles during the war. and were again.-', them ; and they have no assurance that such mew w d! be true to the South in ongress.
