We are plad to see this jonrnal coming
to its senses. The quicker ROuthem pa*
pers and southern men dismiss snch
ideas, hopes or expectations from their
minds the better. Just sr.oh hopes were
indnlged fi? in 1831. Northern Democrats
assured the South that no army
would ever march to invade it withon'
?. : i i
.raving an enemy in its rear that would
soon conquer a peace. The last speeches
of southern Senators an 1 Representative*
teemed with the predictions of the devastations
of northern fields, the plnnder
of northern cities, the ruin of northern
populations. The North was described
as a house divided against itself. Fernando
Wood proposed to carry Newport
city onfc of the Union to aid the South
Democratic politicians iij Philadelphia
declared every interest of that city and
their State lay with the South. The
dread of northern sedition made the Government
timid.
"Rut wbpn lbs first blow was sfrnrdr.
*nd the Stars and Stripes were lowered
nfc Fort Sumter, a whole people sprang
to arms. ~The national sentiment rose in
% majesty which threw the tricksters, the
sycophants, the cowards and the traitors
of the North into that obscurity from
which they never'have and never will
emerge.
So would it be again. So indeed has it
proved already.' Political poWer will
never be trusted to the hands of men who
once betrayed their trust and whose public
expressions show that they are ready
again to plunge their country into strife.

The many friends of Joseph P. Wit.ktb

the annonncement of bis death in another
column. The writer of this notice
knew him intimately as a fnend and as
a business partner. For two years he as
Publisher of the Free South, won the respect
of all with whom he was associated.
His life was clooded with that which
might well have excused graver faults
than those which the censorious might
find in his character, but he preserved
until the last an amiability which endeared
him to his friends. After life's
fitful fever, he sleeps welL
