From some sort of influence not clearly understood at the South—perhaps the scenting of danger from afar to their own liberties, perhaps from some quiet intimation from General Grant, who is about to take control of the Executive power and patronage—there has, of late, been a very perceptible abatement of the radical sentiment in that portion of the press at the North. A number of journals, hitherto ready at all times to advocate any amount of outrage upon the Southern States and people, have made a tack toward conservatism, and protest against many of the radical measures now pending in Congress.
