THE .WILMINGTON POST. WILMINGTON. N. C. OCTOBER 3, 1869. 1 Old Errors. The acknowledgment of wrong by a wrong doer is something so rare that men chroni icle the fact as worth remembering and the ' sacred writers mention the "prompt confes- jBiori of sins as something savoring of entire 1 regeneration and change of a man's whole nature. Nations are much like individuals, and for one people who admit sinful error to have been a part of past policy, we can point to hundreds of Egyptians who persist in folly and crime until God's judgment de stroys the wicked and their works. To day the Southern people in ashes and tears con 'fesg their 'sins, and strive to amend, but a few persistent maniacs again seek to revive old errors, and like the author of "Chival rous Southrons " in the Southern Review at tempt the Quixotic folly of attacking all the world for believing that the crushed out Southern Jdeas were entirely wrong and con demned by the spirit of the age as well as by common, reasoning. Like all his class pf weak minded bab- i biers, the author of the defence of " chiv- airy " belieyes assertion to be more than ar gument, and if the assertion exalts his doc- trines, whims or fancies by slandering the believers in opposite ideas ; why the very acme of argument has been 'reached and away goes our cracked-brained antagonist i into spasms of delight over another South ern victory." i Passing much' of a character peculiarly speculative! and' of no valuo fisla matter for argument, we desire to accept the following statements as worthy of examination ot our hands : j ; Whilst the Southern (States were in the the Union of the United States, the dignity and decorum of the members of Congress in debate especially in the Senate were no torious throughout the world. What is their bearing now, and since the Southern mem bers are no longer present to restrain those of the .North? No assembly of any civil ised people in the world can equal them in vulgarity, or in depravity either, if the re - ports niade in Congress, showing their venal ity, are true. This is the result of Northern civilization : and one ot the reasons they arc bo intent on excluding Southern repre sentatives who truly represent the Soutjh, is . that they fear a return to the old responsi bilities by which their vulgar and .brutal licentiousness of language ; might be re strained. Southern civilization made Con gress respectable; Northern civilization has made it contemptible. j " Whilst the Southern States were in the -Union" while they were out of the Union and had no " baso born Yankees" to come betwixt the air and their nobility what was the case ? We who know aught of the meetings of the Confederate Congres3 at Richmond Jcnow of more violence ; more breaches of decorum " especially in the Senate," and such evidences of " vulgaritv"' and " depravity" that the government rer fused to permit the press to publish how Hill killed ' Yancey ; how coarse vitupera tion, and frenzied debate, caused members of both houses to fight in and around the Confederate Capital like wild beasts! . Mr. Hill and we believe ex-Confederate General Hill to be the author of the absurd statements conveyed in the article we quote The East and the West Distracted Democracy. The old time reference to the wisdom oi the The unfortunate uncertainty of democratic East is but little understood by pur Western leaders, who know not what to select for a Chinamen who persist shutting themselves within the walls of their national conceit and who see naught but the cell! in which they have shut up all of wisdom', glory or strength possible for such narrow minds and contracted souls to comprehend. Ot the days when earth was young we re member reading, and of the " wise men of winning card, has led the sportive u Naaby" to thus complain : Then agin, our management hez been friteful. In Ohio, we made a boggle at the beginnin, in the nomenashen uv Rosecrans. It wuzn't in the nachur uv things for; our patriots who had shot officers sent out by this Rosencrans to arrest their sons which hed taken bounty and hed deserted to the East," and albeit we know but little ot Canady, to vote for Rosecrans, partfdderly their wisdom or of the old time people who S 1 uavu uau ilicu cah. auu iucii euuauwa on the stage of human existence for they The came and went like shadows, leaving as little record. Little as we have been able to gleam of the olden time inhabitants cf the earth ; our minds have always paid homage to the mysteries contained in that strange Eastern land where the arts and sciences had their birth, and where more of knowledge has been lost to men than we possibly possess who boast so much and seem so entirely for getful of the past. hurrahs stuck in their throats. I must con fess that they made a brave attempt at it, but they looked sick- while they did it. Their efforts to hurrah for Rosecrans, and the face they made uv it, remirded me uv an insident wich occurred to me wunst. I hed a friend whose name it was own, who wuz given to indulgence in the flowin bole to a fearful extent. Wun nite he at tempted to be convivyel on a new brand uv whisky, and it floored him. At 11 P. M. I found him clinging to a lamp-post and vomitin ez tho ther wuz a miniatoor earth quake into his insides.

Not slaves, but men ; not " Coolies " bought, sold, robbed and maltreated as such people al ways have been but the man of the East coming with his family to better bis condi tion, and like other emigrants accepting the civilization of the West as they find it, and pudiashun; in Tennessee it's nigger suffrage ' "aicicf- Sick r replied he, swingmg around to the other side uy the 03t and discharrcin another avalanch. " Sick I h 1 1 do yoo think I'm doin this for the fun of the thing ?" Our Democrats in Ohio swallertd Ro-e crans, but their hurrahs were so much like the retchin uv a man with a load onto his stunrck, that it reminded me uv mv friend Brown. . In Pennsylvania we aint much better off.

" Under the teachings and excitations of Northern emmissaries, and the government of the United States, all sympathy between the white and black races is rapidly disappearing. The negro is deteriorating from the civilization he pos sessed asa- slave, and relapsing into his natural barbarism. While a slave, there were two powerfulsupports to the civiliza tion of the negro. He was the best fed and clothed laborer in the world, and the marital relations were enforced upon him." ; 44 Under the teachings" of good men, and true women ; under and by the protection of the " government of the United States" the " sympathy' between all races on this continent increases in proportion as educa tion creates that " sympathy" and congeni ality arising from love of the same thoughts ; studies,and memories, " Tho negro is deteriorating from the civ ilization he possessed as a slave" thank God for this; as he becomc3 1 more human and less beastly each, year, ho forgets he ever was a slave or that any part of. his country; was to him aught but free land.
