<tue Haiti) llrti*. 1 - —— Mt i 1 +"»- 'Sgjpj— City Printer—Official Paper LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION geeCßJi* ■ l ' —i. ». c AVOtWIAi OA. FRIDAY MORNING May 14,1 MT GOOD SIGNS. The incoaeiderete end inflammatory harangue* of Senator Wilson, and the tone of Judge Kelly'* remark* in Mobile, led u* to fear that their real object m to prevent a harmonious acceptance-of the reconstruction poiiey, unless it wa* conducted in the interest of the Radical party. But the protest* ■which reach us from the members of the Republican party North, and the change in their tone and tactics, by the Radical speakers iu the Sooth, tram the North, hat re assured us that it U the sincere wish of eii parties North (ears here and there an extremist), that the Union shall be re-uuited under the Sherman Bill. The Albany Evening Journal, after deprecating the “confiscation” scheme of Thad. Stevens and tha inflammatory speeches of Judge Kelly, says: Let us hope that we hare heard the last of this unwise and mischievous crusade, and that henceforth the people of the South will be approached in a more friendly and moderate temper. There is no reason why the processes of reconstruction should not go forward rapidly and harmoniously, unless the ultra marplots continue to interfere by teachings calculated to make one class arrogant and oppressive, and the other class desperate and resistant. The recent speech of Gerritt Smith — an abolitionist of the old panel—con tains broad, sensible, and conciliatory views, entirely a bore all partisan object or influence. The Herald, which is a very good index of the popular temper North, says that Gerritt Smith would do a great deal of good were he to follow those other speakers throughout the South, and recommeuds him to do so. On this subject, the New York Sun says: The National Committee of the Re publican party have issued an address, in which they call upon the faithful throughout the country to contribute money for electioneering expenses in the South. They "desire to prosecute a systematic and thorough canvass of the Southern States by the most effi cient speakers of both races.” It seems to us that political stumping tours are decidedly out of place iu the South at the present time- The people there, both white and black, have had a surfeit ot excitement. Many of them are suffering lor the commonest necessities of life, and they could far better appre ciate money invested in bread than ia £eripatetic stumpers, even though the itter be “of both races.” Peace, quiet, and tranquility are more essential to the interests of the South. The people need to turn away from the excitement of politics, and give their attention to the culture ot corn and cotton. Political discussions are irritating, under the most favorable circumstances, but in the present state of the South they cannot be otherwise than hurtful. The Repub lican leaders need not be so anxious about the welfare of the freedmen. The latter have thus far shown ability to take care of themselves and look out for their own interests. There is no danger that they will go very tar in opposition to those interests. We think on the whole, that thoproject of the Republican leaders for raising money to be used in the South, is a very good one; but we respectfully suggest, that while hundreds of the freedmen are suffering for bread, which that money would buy, we have not heard of auy suffering from a scarcity of stump speeches. These utterauces are indicative that the work ot attempting to Radicalize the South as a condition precedent to reconstruction is not popular, even among Northern Kudicals, and is only entertained by a few marplots, and adventurers, who have everything to make and uotbing to lose by such an effort. Southern Politick A correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser, who has been travelling through Virginia and North Carolina, writes that the Republicans ol the former State claim about seventy thousand votes, the “ Old Whigs,” or Conservative Unionists, thirty thousand, while the “ ex-Rebels” will have eighty thousand. A Republican organization in Petersburg embraces three hun dred whites and eighteen hundred blacks. The Union League has sixty organized councils in North Carolina, and the Equal Rights League, a colored organization, about the same number of councils. In addition to these, there is a third secret organization, which is spreading rapidly. It is very radical, has obligates of the strictest char acter, and an imposing ceremonial. The members originally called them selves “ The Heroes of America,” though they are now generally known as “ The Red Strings.” The Order publishes a paper at Greensboro’ called The lied String. Thirty two thousand white voters are enrolled in its rsnks, and iarge numbers of colored lodges are being established. The vote in the State is put down at seventy five thou sand whites and forty thousand blacks. It is estimated that of this aggregate, thirty thousand whites and thirty thou sand blacks are Republicans. They claim that they will carry the State in the next election by tweuty thousand majority. • Had Dog.

Queen Victoria, of England, is forty eight years of age to-day. fenitt Smith on tfco Situation- The Richmond Dispatch, of Pridsyi publish** o speech which this noted abolitionist delivered In that city last week, to a mixed assembly of white and colored people, In which he enun ciated broader and mote sensible views tbau any ather Northern emissary now ia tha South. While he did not spare the South for bringing on the war, or for attempting, in some cases, to run away from the restoration terms of Congress, he blamed the North for its share in bringing on the trouble, and for its want ot magnanimity now. Though, under the Constitution, those who took part in fighting against the Government are traitors to-day, he said he was “averse to having his countrymen (the South erners) go down to posterity stigma tised as traitors. When strife had ad vanced tea great civil war, with ade facto Government, and carrying on war m an independent power, they were no longer traitors .” He wanted thus to lift them from their supposed degrada tion. The North, he said, was under a common responsibility with the South for the late war. After speaking of slavery as the cause of the war, and the North being! equally guilty with the South for estab lishing and maintaining that institu tion, he added, “ we of the North reaped far more gain from slavery than you did. You but held the cow—we milked it.” He said he was not an advocate of confiscation, and advised the freed men not to ask tor it, but to seek homes by their honest earnings. One point he suggested, which reflects great credit on his benevolence and generosity, and that was that he would relieve the South for half a dozen years from direct Fed eral taxes, to enable the people to recover something of their former pros peril y. Congress, he said, should have appropriated $10,000,000 or $20,000,000 to this suffering land. The New York Herald, in publishing a report of the speech, says: “How can such broad and liberal views compare with the narrow and illiberal policy in taxing the productions of the South, at a time when they most need assist ance?” The Herald also very truth fully says, how different is this speech to those threatening and mere partisan speeches of Wilson, Kelly, and some other Northern orators at the South. Buck on Hie Travels. Mack, the well known correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, is on a Southern tour. In his last letter, dated at Augusta, he makes some shrewd observations on the situation: The people of Augusta are not so well reconciled to the situation as I think the people of other portions of Georgia are. I would not be understood ns saying that they display anything like a spirit of rebellion, or that they are in any reasonable sense of the word “disloyal.” But they don’t like the Military act, and though they may register under it, aud vote under it, it will be with feelings very far from agreeable. They have no stomach for negro suffrage—and I don’t blame them very much, for the negroes are in a rnsjonty hereabout, and, with the efforts being made by Northern Radi cals to array the blacks in a political party against the whites, the negroes may control the politics of this sec tion of the State. If they were let alone, I think the two races would agree very well; there would be no disposition to oppress the negro the ballot in his hand would prevent that; but when men come here from the North to tell the negroes that their late masters are their natural enemies, and that they must vote tbeip down and keep them down, it requires no gift of prophecy to foretell that the result must be to engender animosity against the blacks, which may yet lead to fearful results. If the whites are taught to see in the blacks men who not only expect to rule them by political majorities, but to own their lands and their houses through the agency of a confiscation bill, it is difficult to wh® they should huve i very tender regard for them. So far as there exists any dislike to the negroes here, it is only as the agents and pro teges of the Northern Radical party which recognize Thad, Stevens as its leader, and confiscation as an impor. tant article of its creed. The same is true of the spirit of loyalty or disloyalty, as it is sadly misnamed, toward the government. If men who do not believe in Sumner aud Thad Stevens as the wisest and best of statesmen are disloyal, there are not many loyal men in the South. If, however, any tnan is loyal who is willing to obey the laws, and who, whatever his opinion as to the right of secession, is convinced of its impracticability, then it is very safe to say thnt there is quite as little disloyalty in the South as in the North. Take Alexander H. Stephens as an illustration. There is not a man North or South who would be more rejoiced than he to see the Union restored on a permanent and fraternal basis. This I know from my conversation with him. He religiously believes in the right of secession, but thinks it a right which it was and always will be madness to exercise. He says you might as well try to sepe rate the waters of the Atlantic in mid ocean, as to divide the United States into two nationalities. And yet he was denounced by blatherskite politicians in the United States Senate a year ago, because the war hadn’t changed his opinion as to the right ot secession. War never settled a principle yet—and never will; and the late war settled nothing more tbau 'he fact that a mi nority rebelling against a majority can not break up the American Union. Why cannot the Union men of the North strike hands with Alexander H. Stephens and such men of the South, on the impracticability of secession, since thR right of it is only a matter of opinion, which no war can change one way or the another. gfelil lrotloet.
