l'tis peril*] - ;kn inevitable, wliflc ?t is a vr-ry
[ pmnful characteristic of American politics* in
1 the ] v’rfoit times, that differences of .opinion
i b(®get violent personal animosities. lli'.Tierto
there has i-ccn no* time when Apici|canspdif
fering Tram eachothea lyowever remotely, could
not |ic?iec fully an i (juietly djfcuss the mojt ra-°
dical questions; and now thcrcois no .trouble
.in talking freely one of direct tnxa
tioft or the tariff* but when any l*mj of Dplicy
relating to the wty is brought up as a®in>ject
of discussion, the excited state Os men’s *mintts
become nmwiiest, and if there be any r*reat uif
ference of opinion, tlie result js apt to boa
pretty severe use of weeds, if nA mutually a
resort to blows. ’Only a few weeks ago the*
newspapers.abo“.ndqd. in accounts of®men fie.,
ing knocked*down in the street for what Ifren
tstyled ‘‘treiviynable synfjiathies and some of*,
the newspapers endeavored to fan the flame by
hcadipg such .statements w’uh him
right,”, or something similar. T hjs.state of af
fairs is fortunately past i bus men’s minds are
“still strongly influeftccd by their fimliiqps, and
too many are impatient of ®.iy voice thaj speaks
■ of .peace. ® . ®
Thc*newspaper press has been greatly to
~ blame in this matter. Some weeks, ago the
■ word “treason’* had acquired anew and broad
1 signification in the columns of the republican
1 papers, • It,was bandied with a freedom
that was appalling? The “liberty of the press,’
which here means the right to Cafl any may a
scoundrel, a thief or a traitor you dare
take the liberty.with, this liberty of tlie press
has had the JTve*t exorcise The rule has been,
“ifiTanV man ditiers from you as to the proprie
ty of .war, calNiim a traitor; if any man thinks
the Sciutli not starving call #him a,traitor; ii
any man says there is a Christian south 0f,3 ir
ginia, cajl liitu a traitor; if any slum says this
war is not a Krar fo* extermination ofi slawery,,
call him traitor.” • • • • ®
In short, whatever fs said, whatever is
pysed, whatever is advocated J:hat ;lpes not
meet of the wai^newspapers, is trea
son. Theje*are®cxce})tjons it i.- true. It de
pends very much ou who says tlie thing. Thus,
for a republican editor.to propose tef ‘puiper
*scdejhe Frroident,” is.not For a man
of the B|me sort to B%y that Gen. Scott was*t.oo
;old and too skfW, and that we w;?i*t •John f •
i'remont, or some such rngn, in his p*ice, and
that w* wantothe Pennsylvanians march on
Harper’s Ferry, waiting for Washington flrders,
flrts is not objectionable. For an* out aifcl out
] ablolition shaet to prinf daily in its head-line
thuto“the Constytation of 9he United States is a
covenant with hell,” w not dreastui. # For the
republican papers to argae that*in war rimes |
jthe letter af thfe Constitution is to lie disregard- j
•ed, 4ii4 the Frcsident*of the United States®
ought to agsume anfl exercise the powers of a
dioiatorAs not treason. ®
3Ve nright xten*d the illustrations, huf these,
are sufficient. Instead of the joriner,frank and
hearty ?tyle®of* discussion, if perchance a peace
Moving newspaper happens to troad on j tlie tpes
s.oi those war like i ditors, the vocabulary of cp

built for tire protection of Charleston, and not
for offensive purposes against that city, and ad
vocated the evacuation of the Fort. The uni

. °A correspondent of the New Orleans Delta
gives die following the origin of the popular •
song of Pixie, lie this as it may, however, wo •
jmaginc Dixie has tafcon toy fast a hold on the
affections of our people to be easily given up.”
Albeit Pikcjias written some pretty words and
to the air. Noticing these, the wrftcrin'lhc
Delta says: . . * •
.“Now 1 d<* not wiyh to soil a pretty illusion,
but real truth is that Dixie is an indigin-*

Dixie’s land being other, than tlpat of Manhat*
tan Iskind until recently, when it lias been er
roneously supposed to refer to,thc Seifth, from ’
.its dbnnection with patriotic ncgjlro allegory.
• “When slayery cyristed in* New YoiJc, obq
‘Dixy’ owned a large tract of land on Manhat
tan Island, and a lar-c number of aluvco. Tho
e
increase of • the slaves, and* the* increase of
the abolition sentftnent, # caused an eihigra-*
tion of the slaves to morts thorough and secure
slavp sections, and the negroes who were thus
*ent off, pninny loping born there*) naturally
Jookcd back to their old homes, where they had
lived in clover, with feelings of regret, as they
could not imagine any place like Dixy’s.—
llouce it became synonymous with an ideal lo
cality, combining ease, comfort and material
happiness of every description* In those days
ifegro minstrelsy and singing were in their in
fancy, and any subject that gould be wrought
into a ballad was eagerly picked up. This was
the case with ‘Dixie.’ It originated in New
York, and assumed the proportions of a song
there. In its travels ft has been enlarged,&nd
lias ‘gathered moss’ —it lias picked. up a ‘note’
lyre and there—a ‘(horns lias been added to it,
and ffiom an indistinct ‘chant’ of two oiHliret;
notes it lias become ;fti elaborate melody ; but
the fact that it is not a Southern song cannot be
rubbed out. The fallacy is so popular to tho
contrary that I have thus been at pain* to Stata
the real origin of* it.”

prayer for the success of our arms in a conflict
with the United States —is also tho,birth day of
