The radical party there have pursued a policy which has consolidated Southern sentiment and united our people as one man in support ot the war. The popularity of disunion at the South was never so great. The measures of stcession were at least tolerated rather than; cordially endorsed by the mtj riiy. Longl after the war had begun, the hope of reconstruction was a latent sentiment in the bosom of the Southern community. More than any other people in the woi Id those of the South are conservative.
