Newspaper Page TextSails |w®. THE LARGEST CIRCULATION. AUGUSTA, GA..I SATURDAY MORNING Maroli 17,1866 Tli« Southern Press. The Round Table makes a somewhat lengthy comment upon the tone of the Southern press, and the Savannah National Republican copies and en dorses the article. The gist of it is that the Southern press is not as loyal in its expressions as it should be—that the old leaven of secession is not worked out yet —and that if the people would frown down these disloyal journals, the effect would be greatly advantageous to the South. Well, we did intend to make some reply to these comments of the Round Table and the Republican, but we think both articles contain the best reply to themselves, and we give that reply in preference to our own. It is this: “We have made these few cita tions, not because the temper which pervades them characterizes the South ern press as a whole, but as examples of the utterances of a number of addle brained editors who lack the sense to recognize the new condition of affairs throughout the entire country. Happily , they form the exceptions, not the rule. Asa whole, the tone of the Southern newspapers is all that could be desired and more than miyht hare been expected.” —Round Table. “There is reason for congratulation in the fact that those who have laid them selves open to this charge, and displayed a lack of common prudence in this re spect are in a decided minority — are the exceptions and not the rule.”—Sa vannah Republican. In fact, they are such rare exceptions that we think it would puzzle the brain of the shrewdest observer and most per sistent seeker after knowledge under difficulties, to find them. The truth is told by both of our cotemporaries in the extracts which we have made from them. The Southern Press is intensely ‘'loyal'’ | and patriotic in its tone, and has done i as much to quiet the people and recoil- ' cile them to their fate as the military orders of Commanding Generals, and vastly more than the injudicious outgiv- ; ings of over zealous journals at. home and i abroad. It-has urged the people to ac- j cept the situation, to become quiet and j peaceable citizens, to obey the laws, to ! go to work, to build up their lost for- i tunes, to advance the interests of their | section, and to sustain the wise, patriotic, I and conciliatory policy of President j Johnson. This is what the Southern Press has done and is doing, and it would be well for the country, if the Northern press and people, were but halt as conservative as we are, half us patriotic, or half as willing to support the Constitution, the Union and the laws. ; Municipal Election.
