that strain would the tribe could be increased up there the south : believed it had a right to retire from the union of states for causes satis factory to it the richmond dis patch calls attention to this — that ( virginia stipulated in her ordirlance ratifying the federal constitution that she was to have the right to i withdraw from the union whenever . she was oppressed or denied her rights if her rights had been ac corded to her she would not have tried to secede so in trying to do what the other states had agreed she should do whenever sh,c desired so to do virginia was in very truth lighting for her constitutional rights 1 and mr cave simply stated a fact when he made this averment ignorance is at the bottom of the misrepresentation of historic facts and constitutional principles in the north unfortunately the majority do not rightly understand the very principle lor which the south fought and to-day insist that the confeder ates were traitors while their enemies were patriots and heroes they are ignorant blinded mistaught they ought to take aeon se of reading let them begin with sullivan's men of the revolution a 1/assa chusetts book then take bledsoe's unanswerable book

work by a louis : anian whose name now escapes us will greatly help on theirstudies ignor ance may be bliss in sonic things but not when you would write of great political fundamental princi ples with more actual knowledge of baste principles the prejudices and abuse of the south in the north would greatly lessen if not 1 1 1 ; 1 ] > pear we indorse the following most heartily which comesfrom the index appeal published in the little historic petersburg va it is preposterous for any north ern man to cherish the idea hat the south will ever get down on its knees ad mil that the principles for which it fought were all wrong and that its defeat was a righteous judgt i there will never be any such sentl : ment as this in the south 1 \ en turtoj the crack ol doom the month v sieves that it was right just n.5 fjbe j s north thinks it was the instrument of providence but this fact need not stir up strife and oittet ness be cause seme orator in the south or in the north occasionally boils over we have no respect for the man who | does not respect and defend his own in ik st convictions a men ! and amen ! the south has never charged or held that the north did not have abw and hi;jh minded

swell the pension rolls to bursting — tht bounty men who enlisted tor whaj t hey could rt the washington post spoke of tkc affectionate magnanimity of the victors the reply to this by the richmond times is conclusive the claim to magnanimity was perhaps based upon the acceptance by the victors of the surrender of the vanquished but we have gat to learn that in the last half of tlw nine teen in century it is considered a magnanimous net for one armed ioe to give quarter to his vanquished enemy it is no more than a cus tomary act of the plainest humanity the side which would make merit foi itself out of such an act goes a long way to wards proving ltsebf barbarous it reminds the post of the reign of terror in the south after the war — of the way the magnanimous victors once subjected the people of ihe soulh to a rule of thieving carpet baggers voted into place by n popu la t ion of ignorant semi-barbarous slaves and sustained in place by the bayonets of that affectionate and magnanimous enemy that same magnanimous victor held the pea pie of the south bound down for year after year under this horrid carnival of robbery pillage and crime oi all s4>rts vatji be iha ifltfict
