FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 7,1866.
' ? PROTEST.
5K [JVom. tte .Bic.'imond Examiner, November 30.]
Our Richmond cotemporaries have already an?
nounced that H. Hives pollard (late of the Ex?
aminer) is about to issue a new weekly journal,
entitled "The Southern Opinion." and has pub?
lished notices of his prospectus, which have ap?
peared in the Dispatch and Timbs as an advertiae
?vXttsnt.
in a careful perusal of this prospectus we.find
much from which wo aro compelled to dissent.
. The views: there stated purport tb be "Southern
opinion," and we think it very probable an effort
will he made hy the Badi cal press to give, them a
proportionate significance, : and to deduce there?
from additional reasons for a cruel and unsparing
^pohcv in reference to the South. We propose,
. therefore, to consider the question how far this
prospectus embodies the feelings and purposes of |
the people of Virginia. The task is not altogether
an agreeable one, and we could wish that some one
of our city cotemporaries, in noticing the pros?
pectus, had saved na the trouble in making these
objections, which we cannot doubt have occurred
, to them as well as ourselves.
The prospectus informs us that the Southern
Opinion will "accept the Yankee as a fact, and
logically and forever as a foe: whether in war or
peace, or in the field or the forum, or the legisla
. $?re-always an enemy. There is a mutual and
inextinguishable hate b. tween the Yankee and the
Southe ner. Whenever and wherever they meet,
?they will meet as foes at heart! and this "feeling
wiU live as long as there are two men on earth to
'bear it for eacn other." Again : "I am for the
South. I make no pretensions to an affection for
+a Union that is both false a?? hstcfsl. The Union
sought by our forefathers has perished, not only
vCrpm reality, not only from hope,, but from possi
r?bility."
? Are these sound principles for a Southern jour
.nal to enunciate? Are they the sentiments of the
>ople of the. South, of Virginia, or of this city of |
chm ona? -We answer all these questions em?
phatically in the negative.
?;We yield to no man in a just indignation at the
n gs and atrocities inflicted by the! North on our J
?appy section, or in a becoming resentment for !
e conduct; still pursued towards us by those
om Providence, for some inscrutable reason,
mits to wield power and to wreak malice. We
e no excuses, no palliation to offer for the guilt
(those who have thus pursued us with a causeless
. |te. The atrocities of the war, the subsequent
! yong and humiliation, cannot, indeed, be lightly
?. jxgotten or forgiven. So long as mjustice is kept up,
plong as the South is treatei and held as a mere
j?. hquered province, these feelings of resentment,
ip." rich the Creator has implanted in the
sj-, hnan breast, will continue to abide in the
;Sithern heart and mind. If this harsh
fWxe shall long prevail, the effect will un
ss eestionably be to make these resentments
Pfe$manent and enduring-perhaps, indeed, an ia
fdicable hate, waiting simply for an opportunity
fe Oreveng?. But if the cause of continued irritaticn
i, ^removed, if the Northern people shall be brought
? b. reason and reflection no longer to treat the
jg S?jithern people as enemies, but with the justice
J *? respect due to equals undera common Gov
[? erment, then tho resentments of the latter will
gsgraually decrease, and probably in time wholly
Eoisupear. Southern opinion, as to the brutal and
ptmjstifiable character of the war upon us, is not
b inded likely "to change: posterity and history
? willboth sustain it; but this opinion need not con
j?fcini3 an active and operative cause of lasting
Biated. Such is the law of human nature, and it
?;is afort?nate and beneficent provision by an All
? wisc Being. If any man supposes the people of
^Virginia will bear enduring malice, let bim contrast
present feeling for England with that which
?? existed ninety years ago. What has become of
^thc hate of England and Scotland, or of France
-iand La Vendee ? But it is needless to multiply
Sjnslances. The principle we have stated is univer- |
eal; it is reinforced by all the suggestions of pru
s.denra and philosophy, and, above all, by the com
. manes of natural and revealed religion. The
yd study of revenge and immortal hate " belongs
- lather to the fallen angels; it is not permitted'to
" "* and erring men, who themselves may need
giveness.
So much for the general principle. In this in?
anes to say "logically and forever" the Yankee
lr the Northerner is to be our foe is radical : error
r a more senses than one. It is not merely produ
icmg the idea of an "irrepressible conflict," but
.?going far beyond it. Assuming toojjrwFumrfon to.
.the true, what possible hope or- future is there for
hthe South ? w? -were overwhelmed in the late
f/contest. When are we to try another? If all we
j can look forward to is ceaseless hate, then, of |
\ course, war at some not distant day is inevitable.
, Thus lhere would be. little use for any ol us to
s plongi, or sow, or build, save to make ready for
another fight, and still another. The South, aban
jj doning her present hope and order, restoration,
' liberty, education and advancement in the arts and
material progress, is to surrender herself to gloomy I
passions, and inextinguishable hate, and the corm- 1
sels of despair 1
? Ve turn with unaffected horror from such a pic
'? tura and such a programme. We shall oppose such
5 teamings with all tue energy and ability ?hat we
?possess. We deny that 'logically" the Yankee is
I?our foe. His bad passions, his follies, his imper
Jfeot conception of the right have made him such
?ox awhile; but time, reason, the philosophy of I
^history and political science, the better instincts of
's own nature, and the silent influences of Chris
mi ty are all operating in pur favor and pleading
bur cause with an eloquence that may not be long
Siresisted. But even if we assign uo force to these
'considerations, we Bhould still rely on the calcula?
tions of human interest, and the tendencies of
Ipi od ern civilization, to overcome the malignity
^hatnow pursues us. The wondrous inventions of
modern art are gradually knitting the people to?
gether, dispelling error and misconception, and
tendering permanent injustice almost impossible.
Such are the harmonies of the nineteenth century.
May we not look to them with hope and confidence ?
To preach this creed is in part to accomplish the
Vets upon which it purports to be based. Let the
Lprthern people be made to know and feel that, do
they may, they will, for generations to come,
ounter the fixed hate of the South, and they
not be slow to reciprocate the feeling and em
j it in their acts. Their passions are already
o?lly inflamed by their demagogues against us;
"-y-are as powerful as we are helpless, and yet we !
to seize this occasion to propose an mtermin
\ feud 1
!o cite all our objections to this poney would j
!Dire more space than we can now spare. We
entirely opposed to it. The wrongs and inju
""'nflicted on our people we shall promptly ex
and denounce, but we shall be careful not to
en the force of our protest hy the exhibition
hate which does not stop to argue. On the
ary, we shall seek to influence t" i judgments
consciences cf our antagonists, and to win
rn, by fair argument, to a Detter way. So far
a regarding the revival of the constitutional
on sought by our forefathers as an impossibili
we shall keep it constantly in view, and labor
h a confident hope for its restoration at no dis
itday.
~e believe that the sentiments we have above
eased are those of the great body of the pso
f Virginia. As to the sentiments of the people
-ihmond, our large personal acquaintance with
enables us to speak with great confidence.
Ahern journals, anxious to reinforco their poli
hatred,, have classed Mr. Pollard as a ^Ten?
tative man" of the South. We have never
stood Mr. Pollard himself to advance such a
; but, be this as ii may, we may safely affirm
{ the views of this . prospectus on which we
dwelt, are not those of any considerable num
f our people. " '.;
. Pollard's energy, experience,and ability as a
"-'ist .ire too well known to require any attes
from us. We trust that, -when he . comes
duct hi? new enterprise, ne will review his
ions and dcote^ himself to the wiser task of
ng out the DJ odes of reconciliation and resto
m ste a d of accepting, as a guide, the notion
enduring enmity between the two sections,
events, we have deemed it our duty to enter
.rotest against hie utterances being accepted
.athen: opinion. We do him the justice to re?
tha notices he has received from our city co
orarics, and we also publish, full and entire,
$roapeetu8 of which we have felt constrained
mounce an unfavorable judgment.
