EFFECTS OK PEACE-REVIVAL OF
.i'll:-: I.-ns.-The war hilled out or
sqtUiTcTio i for the time being most of
tiic fanciful theories by which ilie
Northern minti ha?l been previously
occupied aul amused. Socialisai,
freeloveism, Bloomerisru, a'id a.scote
of-liga coetrir.es which Lad seized
upon the minds of idle people passed
out of discussion, and seemed to all ap?
pearance dead anti buried. Even the
spirit of religious fViDakicis n was tor
the time abashed, and bumbled i:i pre?
sence of thc dreadful misfortunes which
it had assisted ia bringing upon ii;.;
country. Tho war is r.o sooner ended
than these elements.of social antagon?
ism revive from their ohrvsalis-like
torpor. The parsons are hara at werie
endeavoring 'o stir np the ember.-; < f
religious strife and persecution. Tue
Boston fanatics are trying to raise
fro-h i.-?r...-.?%on the negro, not salis!:-:-!
? with having rcinlu'cd his condition
worse tiian ever. And now, just when
we bava vindicated our manhood be
rore the world, the Blootnerites have
resumed their conventions to establish
ar':the right ?if the fair sex to wear the
'breeches. All this is very progressive
ami very amusing. It proves the
activity of ibe national mind and is
good for tho newspapers.
