The DAII.Y PKBSS la alaa the Official Paper af the City of Aapaeta, havlac been elected by the City Council as their Official Organ, _ CONCILIATION. Since the fortune ot war has decided that the North and South are hereafter to live together as one people, since by the experience of a temporary separa tion it has been demonstrated that eatffi sestion is necessary to the well-being of the other, and that therefore no success ful attempt at secession is likely to be made in this generation, which has been taught its futility, it becomes all Amer ican citizens to endeavor to harmonize conflicting opinions, to smooth down the asperities produced by the contest and promote a policy of conciliation and forbearance. It would be well if there were some name to distinguish citizens who live under the Government of the United Stales, other than that of “American.” A citizenship which takes its name from a continent, occupied by Ameri cans of other races and nationalities, is too vAgue and diluted. The Mexican or the Canadian is as much an Ameri can as any of us, and has the advantage besides of a distinguishing cognomen. But a citizen of the United States can strictly only be known from other Amer icans by Ins residence or birth place in a particular. State, and we are obliged to call him a Georgian, or Alabamian, or by such awkward appellations as a South Carolinian or a Michigander. Foreigners cut the difficulty short by calling us all “Yankees,” a tesui which the South, ani perhaps the West re jects, though it is somewhat of a geo graphical problem to determine how tar South or West the boundary of the “Yankee Nation” extends. “The whole boundless continent” may be ours here after, but until that fortunate, or unfor tunate era occurs, we have no exclusive right to the name “American.” There is something morcinaname thau the great dramatist allowed, and if Shnk speare had lived in this day and seen a great nation without a distiuctive appel lation, he would have changed bis opin ion a* to the importance of names. Experience has proved the value of a name in our case, for men of the same blood and lineage, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, protected by the same slug, found, be cause of the WHiit of a common national name, has difficulty in fomenting politi cal and sectional quarrels into a gigan tic and bloody civil war. Names are elements of patriotism, a Frenchman or an Englishman goes to battle reluctantly against a Frenchman or Englishman, but the Vermonter less unwillingly raised his armed hand against the Flor idian. though more akin to him in every thing but name, than the people o many localities of England or France are to each other. Distinguished from each other by local appellations, as we inay be, the Providence which overrules peoples has decreed that we shall remain one peo ple under one Government, until the nation shall fall apart from its own weight. Some day that may happen, but none now living will see it. The tendency of the world has been lor many centuries towards the absorption of small Stateß into the larger, until the design of Providence is manifest that the world shall be parcelled out among fewer and fewer governments until the end. One uotable example of the workings of this rule has occurred during the past year, in which Prussia has absorbed some ten or a dozen of the smaller States of Germany, in a campaign of about that number of days. Europe is being remodelled, in accordance with this law of destiny, and the aspects of her political sky indicate that the end is not yet, and that the process of absorption will be renewed before many months have passed. All this may seem to some supersti tion ; but superstition is belief uncor roborated by proof. That such is the manifest destiny of natiuns we have for evidence a multitude of facts extending through hundreds of years, and at no time occurring more abundantly than now. Not only, therefore, have we the fact that the trial has been made with a vigor and a valor unsurpassed in his tory, to dissever this great nation, but we may, without superstition, believe that u multiplication of Governments is contrary to the policy (if we may use the word) of Him who rules the na tions* If any, therefore, cherish the hope that, at any lime nearly present, this ucliou is to ho dissevered, peace fully or by violence, their hope is vain. Never again call another attempt be made under such favorable auspices, and a second secession mnst result in disaster more desolating than the first. • •No portion of the Southern people contemplate any such desperate renewal of the contest; and having laid aside all hopes or expectation of disunion, usd avowed their willingness to renew their allegiance to the Government, pa triotism, honor, and interest, all demand that recrimiuation should cease on both sidos, and that the bitterness engen dered irj the war should be, us soon as possible,- forgotten. North as well as Sooth, there are men who seem to desire to keep the bitter wsters of strife continually flowing, and, as no other weapons are in their power, they vie with each other in vituperation. This is less excusable with the North than with the South; for, victor in war, she has nut asd her pride humbled or her pro perty destroyed. But the useless bandy ing of epithets does and baa done the South an immense harm. We are not in a condition to make enemies, but should rather attempt to conciliate all who are capable of conciliation. By this I do not mean that we should truckle and fawn upon our conquerors, but we should maintain that manly and dignified bearing which, while it re. fraitis from giving insults, is most effec tual in repressing iitsulence. It would be for the good of the whole country that the words “Yankee" and “Rebel” k xould be expnnged from the American vocabulary, that each of the parties to the late war might, perforce, refrain from pelting each other with them ; that Northerner and Southerner would cease to ascribe to each other the most unworthy motives; that the cruel or evil deeds* plentiful euongh on both sides, could be so far forgotten that they should not be raked up from the ashes of the past to be made fuel for bate and revenge, and that each would give to the other credit for the valor, the merits, and the virtues which each knows the other to possess. When crimination and recrimination shall cease, a long stride will be made towards that reconstruc tion which both sections seem now so anxiously to desire, and the day of our country’s return to assured peace and recuperated prosperity will not he far distant. Quiktus. Out Position, Our Banger, and Our Duty. N C M B K R V . Editor of the Daily Press :—Jhe correspondent ot a New York journal writing from this State, has s*ated it as his opinion that “Peace” and “Guano” are what the Southern people most de sire. Peace to enable them to devote themselves to their material interests, secure from molestation or hindrance, and Guano, to enable them to develop their agricultural resources. The conjunction may not be poetical or sentimental, but it is forcibly true. Far more earnestly do they long for rest, for a cessation of turmoil, for the reino val of the racking apprehension of dan* ger and suffering, and for the reestablish ment of the rational confidence that he who sows may reap, than for the posses sion of political power, the gratification of political ambition, or the enjoyment of official dignity and emolument. Il the injury resulting from the present disturbed condition of affairs were cou fined to exclnsion from participation in the National councils, and the necessity to obey laws, in the framing of which we had no part, and submit to rulers in the election of whom we were denied a voice, we might consider ourselves un justly and wrongfully treated, and de prived of rights which inalienably he long to ns, but we would bear such a dispensation with patience and resigna tion, if onr right to manage our domes tic affairs were secure and unquestioned; if our rights of person and property were acknowledged and respected, and it all our interests and relations, whether as individuals or communities, were not continually threatened with a violent and destructive subversion, which we have neither the power to resist or to avert. Why is it that trade is dull almost to stagnation 7 Why is it that our lands are unsaleable for a fourth of the price they could readily luring in ISCO 7 Why is it that capital continually Hows out and none flows in 7 Why is it lhat’enterpriEe of every kind, usually so in the pursuit of profitable employment, turns away Irora our fields, forests, mines, and water courses, leaving us, who really profess countless millions of undeveloped treas ure, to suffer nil the miseries and priva tions of poverty? The reason is that the trust, confidence, and hope, which nre the bases of trade, finance, and enterprise, no longer exist among us, because all securities are insecure and all values valueless, aud nil this confu sion, waste, and ruin, are caused be cause a political fnction desires to pro long its tenure of power, patronage, and profit. I do not think that the piicturc is overdrawn or a single feature exagger ated. It is Vi-ry terrible to behold, but it is our duty to look at it and ex amine its every detail. Every day that pusses without substantial relief, but adds to the trepulsivencss of its aspect, because every day that we remain in our present state of uncertainty and apprehension, wenkens still further our already attenuated resources, and ren ders recovery more difficult and the gloom deeper and darker. As self preservation is the first law of nature, so is it natural that the over whelming desire of our people should be for Peace. Indeed, since the surrender of our armies, and all hope of achieving separate nationality was abandoned, the sutne desire has been expressed and manif. stud; and iu order to realize il, efforts have been made, sacrifices readily borne, losses endured, and prejudices overcome, which would satisfy any con queror, less exacting than those to which we yielded, of our sincerity and the good faith of our vows of altegiuuce. It has beenj the selfish interest ol an uMcrupulM* faction in power to mislead the masses of the people of the North ss to our feelinge, acts, and perposcs, and to delude them into a resentful distrust of us, and a reckless confidence in their Radical leaden. To achieve this object, keep alive hostility, and prevent union, resort has been had to every artifice which an unprincipled in genuity could devise to make the North believe that we are as rebellious and disaffected to the United States Govern ment as we were at any time during the war; that we persistently persecuted Union men and those of Northern birth; that we treat the negroes with inhuman cruelty and injustice; that we are plot ting with the '‘Copperhead Democracy" of the North to regain political aacen dancy and recover the advantages which we lost in battle; and that if other "guarantees” are not exacted from us, the war will have been a failure?, and the sacrifices to maintain the Unioo will have been made in vain. There is hardly a speech made by a Radical in Congress, or an article or letter in the Radical newspapers, which do not con tain some fabnea ted charge to sustain and strengthen this belief. It is but a few days since Mr. Thad. Stevens stated in the House of Representatives that the Judiciary of North Carolina were ordering the whipping of every negro in the State as the punishment of sup posed crimes, with a view to incapaci tate them front exercising the suffrage. What then is the duty of those of us who long for peace, and know that it is our only means of temporal salvation 7 It is to prove to the intelligent masses of the Northern people that they are wickedly deluded, and that we are cru elly wtonged. To make them belive that we are not rebellious, that a Union mau or one of Northern birth is as safe from persecution, insult or unkind treat ment in Georgia as he would be in Massachusetts; that the negroea are treated with perfect justice and liberal ity ; and that we have -not made, nor do we seek alliance with any political party with a view to change the situation which we have accepted in good faith. This is the duty of every one qf us. There is nothing humiliating iu the attempt to fulfil it. It is the simple declaration of the truth. There is no degradation, no servility, no dishonor in asserting and maintaining the truth, while incalculable advantages may be gained if we succeed in causing its majesty to prevail. Our dignity and our honor will be more surely recog. nized and respected if we assert them with patience and moderation, than if we try to vindicate them by answering insult by insult, repelling invective by invective, or meeting passionate aggres sion .with passionate resistance. U heu a radical demagogue or a radical press denounces us as traitors, reviles our luie leaders, and calls for our ignomin ious punishment, it dues us no possible good, nor is it just, to aiiaulhematize “the whole Yankee race,” denounce all the Northern people as “slabsided man ufacturers of wooden nutmegs,” or shut our doors, and forget our good manners, when we meet one who happens to have been born North of Mason and Dixon's line. It can nut be expected that we should love those who have ruined us, or that we should express any eagerness for intimate association with them. But it is the part of prudence to avoid ali further cause of quarrel, whether of speech or action, with our neighbors ; convince them that we do not want to disturb or injure them in any way, ani that as we must live next door, wc much prefer to be on terms of ainity rather than of enmity. When we convince the Northern people of this, we shall have peace, in spite of Thad. Stevens. Xyi.on. Special Notices. WEBB’S LODGE, NO. 16G F.\ A A.*.
