A SOUTHERN PRESIDENTS

SOUTHERN PRESIDENT
Some of the Southern pr SEES
friendly to the election OF Mr.. Cal
honn, rs carefully avoid recommends
inc him to their Southern readers onI
The score Of his indemnity of interests
wilh theirs, as ifthey f,ard in so doing
they would commit treason agaIis
the majesty of the Democratic party.
we have no conscientious s ruples,
and while we shall say nothing that
should offend our Democratic friends
in other regions, shall never hesitate
to urge upon our neighbors OF the
South, the SUI error claims which Mr..
Calhoun has to their kindly consider
alton. LIZ the claim of the several
scctiols Of the country be regarded.
even Justice would allow the South
the candidate for the next Pic iden-
tial term, since tie West has had It's
turn for eight yeats during the IF $.
idencv of Cen Jackson. and alter
wards fair chance for same
period was given to the North with
Mr.. Van Btsrcn. That the latter gen
tleman was not enabled to serve out
his allotted time, may have heen ms
misfortune, but certainly cannot be
imputed as fault to the Democracy;
who perhaps lost more in his discom-
6ture than he did---ior where he feels
~. ny tire sting ofporsonai dsient, they
suffer from the overth ow OF their
most cherished interests, and seek
only to re-establish them, where he
dc lies to CRAFTY his disappointed
hopes with a triumph over The men
and the influences that before over
como him.
Mr.. Van Buren, knows well enough,
for the fact is indi~putab,e, that after
mixing every allowance torthetWhig
CT nds of 1910 to the ballot box there
.Ywere not enough Democratic votes to
Il elect him, and as he seems dee mined
4 to run again in lSl4, he must rely for
hope ofsuccess either upon the APP
athy of The Wing party, or an acces-
sion ofyoters from ii. Now the fact
is plain, that the Democratic party is
at this time triumphant over the whole
Union, and has more than regained
, what il lost Ia 1910, but who will say
that sense of justice outraged in the
defeat of Mr. Van Buren, has brought
this about, and that the same FREEDOM
nance will be seen when lie again
offers himself for the votes Of the peo-
pie?
MIR. TYLER puts in lis claim for the
share in the late Democratic til
umphs, and demands for his yetoes
what the friends Of Mr.. Van Buan
appropriate 10 that gentleman as the
awakening Of the ''sober secon
thought in his behalf The truth
may be that the people thought little
of indrviduals in their late manifesto
tons Of change of opinion asto The
public policy, and would triumph over
Tyler, Van Buren,, Calhoun and all
the Other leaders OF par y in their re-
turn to what they seem 10 believe the
promotion OF their substantial inter
ests. But ifthc late triumphs OF the
Democratic party be not properly
chargeablc 10 Mr. Van Duran, there
is no better reason for supposing now
then 1889. that lie can maintain oar
strength or carry oury cory up toihe
period Of the grand struggle in 1914
Just before the last Presidential con-
test, the Democratic party was sue
cessful every where, but IN one short
