sideration from the +" chivalry" of the South
/" We have suffered all kinds of reproaches
from our opponents at home for the manner in
which our party has sustained Southern measures

population, the wealth, the intelligence, and all

have had less than one-third of the Government,

more than two-thirds of the revenue necessary to
keep this same Government in motion. We haze

This was done in obedience to Mr.. Ritchie's
commands. He thought it important to the sue

members of Congress should show themselves
actuated by "Souulern principles" not recol-

count at home, and that the blanket of democracy
was not quite long enough to cover head and feet
at the same time. If they can afford to lose the
North, we are quite willing they should play for
the South; but when they get through we should
like to see an account of their loss and gain truly
stated.
