The successful Republican party at the Presidential election are striving to appease and propitiate, but having, during the canvass, taken the &#8220;irrepressible conflict&#8221; ground, and having had the aid of the Garrisonian Radicals, who denounce the Constitution as a &#8220;League with hell,&#8221; it seems natural that the South should regard their defeat as involving a destruction of their property and rights. If I could perceive among the leading men in the agitation of the South any staid, judicious statesmen, I should think the Union lost.
