That he is not one of the sixty eight members of Congress who, upon application, endorsed by signature and circulation of Helper's incendiary publication, scrum to l>e regarded by some Southern men as a prodigious triumph of Southern statesmanship. To our judgmeut it appears a distinction entirely without a d ifference. Pennington'* votes for Sherman are sufficient proof, if any were want ed, of his bitter hostility to the South and her institutions. The one is as bad as the other?at any rate, both are too had for us to scrutinize the degrees of enmity or abolition. As bad as either, the worse the better for us.
