South to-day? What, are we to expect if the Government shall be restored upon an unjust basis ? It is humilia- ting to admit, but it is nevertheless true, that the South as a whole is in a more unpromising condition to-day than it was a year and a half since. It is not too much to say that through- out these ten States, from North Carolina to Texas, there is one grand carnival of all the spirits of disquiet, disorder, and bloodshed ; and I cannot refrain from the remark that this con- dition of... things is due in a large measure to the course which Mr. Johnson has chosen to pur- sue. If he had refrained from issuing a proc- lamation of peace ; if he had been disposed to wield the great powers of the Government in the interest of loyalty and of the Union, it would have been in his hand to have maintained order and peace throughout that whole region of country. But what is their condition to-day ? The civil rights bill passed by Congress by a constitutional majority, notwithstanding the opposition of the President, is a dead letter.
