THE LARGEST CIRCULATION.
AUGUSTA, GA..I
SATURDAY MORNING Maroli 17,1866
Tli« Southern Press.
The Round Table makes a somewhat
lengthy comment upon the tone of the
Southern press, and the Savannah
National Republican copies and en
dorses the article. The gist of it is that
the Southern press is not as loyal in its
expressions as it should be—that the
old leaven of secession is not worked
out yet —and that if the people would
frown down these disloyal journals, the
effect would be greatly advantageous to
the South. Well, we did intend to make
some reply to these comments of the
Round Table and the Republican, but
we think both articles contain the best
reply to themselves, and we give that
reply in preference to our own. It is
this:
“We have made these few cita
tions, not because the temper which
pervades them characterizes the South
ern press as a whole, but as examples of
the utterances of a number of addle
brained editors who lack the sense to
recognize the new condition of affairs
throughout the entire country. Happily ,
they form the exceptions, not the rule.
Asa whole, the tone of the Southern
newspapers is all that could be desired
and more than miyht hare been expected.”
—Round Table.
“There is reason for congratulation in
the fact that those who have laid them
selves open to this charge, and displayed
a lack of common prudence in this re
spect are in a decided minority — are
the exceptions and not the rule.”—Sa
vannah Republican.
In fact, they are such rare exceptions
that we think it would puzzle the brain
of the shrewdest observer and most per
sistent seeker after knowledge under
difficulties, to find them. The truth is
told by both of our cotemporaries in the
extracts which we have made from them.
The Southern Press is intensely ‘'loyal'’ |
and patriotic in its tone, and has done i
as much to quiet the people and recoil- '
cile them to their fate as the military
orders of Commanding Generals, and
vastly more than the injudicious outgiv- ;
ings of over zealous journals at. home and i
abroad. It-has urged the people to ac- j
cept the situation, to become quiet and j
peaceable citizens, to obey the laws, to !
go to work, to build up their lost for- i
tunes, to advance the interests of their |
section, and to sustain the wise, patriotic, I
and conciliatory policy of President j
Johnson. This is what the Southern
Press has done and is doing, and it
would be well for the country, if the
Northern press and people, were but
halt as conservative as we are, half us
patriotic, or half as willing to support
the Constitution, the Union and the laws. ;
