are always to be regretted.
But before condemn this movement, let ascer-

This Of feeling has been brought about by the
trucking and cowardy policy of the North. Wings
and Democrats in the Northern States have in times
past pandered to the miserable spirit of anacism All
political parties have, less been guilty Of this
rucking policy. In States and Districts where the !
Democrats have long swayed the sceptre Of power,

for the future.
