It is a great pity, and, in our judg. e Iment, a great mistake that so large:L ,t portion (not the best) of the Republi. sx can press should have betaken itself 8 for campaign purposes to the re open e ing of the old wounds of the rebellion era. It seems to be taken for granted r by certain of that party that the only ,appropriate response to the Greeley e proposal to "shake hands across the t bloody chasm" is an indignant pro. . testation that the Northern people do y not want,ought not to want, any such - reconciliation. This opens a promis. r ing field for the assiduous enumera s tion and vigorous denunciation of :ll the sins of the South, past, present, iand future, and is stirring up the old eauldron of prejudice and passion, which, on every principle of patrio. tism or religion, ought by this time r to have become cold.
