!, SUSTAINING party
In the Federal Legislature the South has
some voice and some votes; but over the pub
lie press, as it now stands at the Seat OF
Government, the North has controlling IN
iiuence- Inc press OF this cry takes It's
tone from that Of the North. Even our
Southern press is subjected, more or less, to
the same influence. Our public men, yes,
our southern men, owe their public standing
and reputation too often to the commentator
and praise ofthe Northern press. Southern
newspaper republlsh from their respective
party organs in this city, and in 50 do
ing, reProduce-unconsclous, doubtless, IN
most instances, OF the wrong they do-the
northern opinion IN regard to public men
and measures. How dangerous such state
OF things must be to the hdelify OF your re-
representatives. 1t IS needless to say! They
are but men, and It would DC unwise to sup
pose that they are beyond the reach OF temp
tatlons which influence the rest 81 mankind.
Feiiow-cltlzens, It rests with ourselves to
alter this state OF things, 50 Tar as the South
Is concerned. We have vast interests, which
we are bound, by many considerations, TO
defend with all the moral and political means
IN our power. One Of the flrst steps to this
great end IS 70 establish q Nouthcrn organ
here, paper through which we may com
mune with one another and the world at
large. We 40 not propose to meddie with
political parties as they now exist; we wish
g enlist every southern man IN a southern
cause, ana ~ ; defence Of southern rights, De
ne wing or pc ne democrat. we 40 not
propose % dlsturo MN, Or 70 snake MN IN
ms party relations. All that we ASK y, that
ne snah consider the constitutionai rlgnts o.
the South, which are involved IN the great
aooiltloh movement as paramount 70 an
party ana all other politicai considerations ;;
AND surely the ume mas come when al
southern men should unite for the purpose OF
seli-deience' Our relative power IN inc
Legislature Of the 0nlon is diminishing with
every census; the dangers winch menace US
are daily becoming greater; ano, the CHIEF IN
strument IN the assaults upon US IS the public
press, over which, loving TO our suPlneness, the
North exercises q controlling influence; 50
tar as the South IS concerned, we can change
and reverse tins state OF things It Is not
to be borne, that pubic sentiment at the South
