Reconciliation tjetween tie Sections?
H,Qn. W. D. Porter's Address.
The Charleston Raxes of Saturday
contains at) admirable address, of
thp Honorable W. D. Porter, deliv
ered on tho previous Wednesday
evening, at a reception tendered by
Col- Jftiehard Lathers, of tho city, to]
the Hon. Wm, C. Bryant and Hon.j
Ko.-^tio Seymour, of New York, andi
which, giving expression to noble J
thoughts, in elegant aud appropriate)
diction, is chiefly Dote-worthy in as
siting the truo causos ot" tho es
trangement which more or less exists
bo twee a tho Xorih and tho South,
and^henco in ftU'Disljing the most
proper remedy for tho evil. Tho true
cauao of the estrangement is mutual
ifiis-understnnding, and the true rem
edy is a better uniteyst^nding of each
<?thoc. Qu tho pnvt of tljo North it
is a misconception of our past and ol
.our present^nd, indeed, tho last
grows oyt or the first. Boforc the
North can d? justico to tho present
attitudo of the South, shoraust appro
piato ioi? pasjt, and do justice to the
motives whicji prompted and sus
tained ber iu tho great struggle. The
Smith does not ask. and has neverj
asked, the North to pass judgment
upon the right or wrong of secession.
"jLJpori that question, wo suppose thai
jnon will differ as long as varying cir
cumstances lead different mitjds to
.opposite conclusions. But jro have*
askod, as wo thiuk we have :i right to
ask, that justico be done to the depth
and sincerity of our convictions, which
precipitated us into the lute war, and
which sustained us tjiroqgh disaster
and defeat until its bloody close
Until this is (tone, thoro will be the
want of that mutual esteem and re
iravrl ivliifih form the only basis of
.tnio and lusting friendship.
And what more oan be demanded
- * ... . ,1 . "
of t?mn the past already furnishes,
to provo.our sincerity ? Those only
who were brought face to face with
each other in the great struggle, and
who mot each other in the carnage of
tho battle field or in the privations of
the camp, can fully realize and appre
ciate the heroisip and soli-sacrifice
which furoieh tho best evidence of
sincerity. * It was in privation and
peril that tho contcndingarmies learnt
to rcsppyt oach other, and hcnce it
was.among s.oldiQrs aud in the capip
that the gfcrips of pcaco and reconcil
fii'nnH thftif most congenial
soil. Had ti>o work of reconstruction
bcoo left to the soldiers, jjnd not to
the politicians \yf>o snuffed the battle
f.pm afar, the ugly wounds of scction
al hate would have been long since
healed, and peace and -amity restored.
Thaf, estrangement exsts. ftrisps then
from a misunderstanding of our past,
and inability to do jnstico to the
depth- of our mutual convictions.
The first ?tep to reconciliation is in
mutual respect. The Northern man
w bo is disposed to do justice tp our
past record, can have no difficulty in
appreciating t >e present position 01
|he South. As hp believes us sincere
in apsuifljng arms, ho will regard us
as equally sjneoro in the assurance
that we have laid them asido forever.
Our sincerity in the past is a pledge
pf our sincerity in the pre^gnt, and a
duo recognition of tl)is {act cau only
giv^ lasting peace and reconciliation.
Mutual rcspoet must grow out of
frequ'en-t greetings and a moro extend
ed jntcrcoursc, and when we knoyy
pacb wo will resepct and love each
other the more. The distinguished
and eloquent speaker well said: '
Theso friendly visits will bring us
all to a boUer understanding. There

most lamentable features of oijir jna

the South upon other sections for the
necessaries of life ? upon tho West
for our gr;.in and pork, and upon the
Isorth for almost every implement of
manufacturing industry. This all
grows out of the suicidal policy of
neglecting every tbiug else in our de

staple. Cotton indeed should be king,
but we do our best to dethrone him
when we neglect to raiso our own
necessary supplies, and thus p;i)'
tribute to other sections out of our
own hard earnings. Wc must diver

everything, cotton included, at home.
lJut to do this we must raise our own
provisions, and not subject ourselves
lo the double risk of famine from the
failure of our own and the foreign
crop. Independence is tho lesson
that wc have yet to learn, and when
