Mistrust and !Hi»aitdertMndin|.
Judging from tbe tenor of Northern sen
timent, especially with the Radicals, it is
apparent' that all the mistrust of Southern
ers by Northerners grows out of real or
willful misunderstanding of the true feel

and nothing but extreme ignorance can
induce the belief in the minds of any por

If ignorance does not give rise to such a
belief at the North, then we can attribute
jt to nothing but a wilfull disposition to

state of a be}’a nee as a mailer of revenge!

on the statement of a. British captain I

the policy of the system, there are other

up of a spirit of mistrust and misunder

cially when the Southern people are giv

abiding desire to cultivate good feeling

they given themselves up entirely to a
spirit of revenge—to a fiendish desire to
oppress a people who ate already suffi

elements of prosperity ? Why do they
not see the wisdom and the good policy
of meeting the Southern people squarely
and openly in the restoration, not only of
tbe Union, but of fraternal and kind feel

The truth is, there is a class of politi

never took the field to perpetuate the

the Freed men’s Bureau
they bad an opportunity of demonstrating j a,| d explained to freed
their devotion to Government iu acts rath
er than high-sounding tvords—who are now
rampant to crush the South, and to des
troy the good results of a benignant poli
cy of restoration, by continuous efforts to
engender and keep alive a spirit of mis
trust aud misunderstanding between the
two sections, for purposes of cowardly
and unmanly revenge towards the South
ern people, at the imminent risk of dama
ging the highest and best interests of the
whole couutry. Such men are doing all
they can to prevent a fraternity of feeling
to take the place of discord and bitter an
imosity ; such raeu ought to be regarded
as the worst enemies of the whole coun
try, and as treacherous to all that is good
aud humane in the human heart ; such
men, had they the power, would forever
blast the hopes of the country merely to
satiate a fanatical, rampant political de
sire for proscription ; and, to accomplish
this hellish purpose, they are resorting to
every strategem, however base, to carry
their point.
Will the good people of the North and
of the South stand idly by and let theso
political disorganizers impede and destroy
the best interests of the country ? Will
they not make every effort to enlighten
the popular mind of both sections as to
the true interests of the whole country ?
Against these disorganizers and political
Bcavangers the efforts of every true man
should oe directed, in older to save the
country from a fratricidal policy of ostra
cism towards the South Tliero can be
no true restoration of tho Union until there
is a perfect understanding, ou the part of
both sections of the couutry, to trust each
other as honest. Truth mu6t assert her
soprcmacy, and dispel the hydra of mis
representation which is doing so much to
keep alive the baueful spirit of Mistrust
and Misunderstanding betwecu the people
of tbe two sections.

The veriest scliool-

Every one
can remember for himself the absorbing
interests with which ho followed the
course of this or that hero of antiquity,
how real was his interest in C’tesar; how
genuine his sympathy for Hannibal; how
u-lowing his admiration of Aristides.—
And are the'qualities we admired in the
m<*n of old to excite no enthusiasm when
found in our cotemporaries? Are the vir
tues that challenged our reverence in the
patriots of other times and other lands, to
be sneered at when illustrated in the
lives and deeds of our fellow-countrymen.
We say, without fear of contradiction,
that the Southern man who took no part in
the glorious struggle of his section; who
felt no interest in its result, and no pride
in the noble qualities displayed by his
countrymen, would never have shoulder
ed his musket in tlie Revolution; never
have starved with Marion, nor triumphed
with Gates. Such a man would have
hounded Washington to death had he
been unsuccessful, he would have been a
parasite to Howe and a lickspittle to Corn
wallis, he would have blazoned forth his
“ loyalty” to his King, by denouncing his
countrymen as rebels, and proved hi.>
fealty to Britain by treason to his native
land. There are some such men in the
South to-day, but not many; not many
who would purchase place or preferment
by befouling the names of the Confederate
leaders, or insulting the memory of the
Confederate dead.
The Southern people have nothing to be
ashamed of in this struggle, and nothing
to be sorry for but that their sacrifices
were made in vain. Even the true-heart
ed Unionists of the South glory in tli
prowess, the endurance, and the dash i
their people, their energy and action, their
fertility in resources, their moderation in
triumph, and tlieir fortitude in defeat.—
They exult in the deathless fame they
have .acquired, the lofty qualities they
have displayed, and the imim rtal names
t.iey have added to the world’s roll of
fame. They reverence the hallowed spots

pendent and liberal disposition towards
the Southern people. Judge Underwood
consented to bear argument of counsel
upon the constitutionality of the test

the statute now no longer necessary.
