rur NORTH AND THE KNow-NOrHlNG

THE NORTH AND THE KNOW-NOrhlNGS.
Northern men often complain that tho Soath.
though in minority, generally controls the policy Of
,ue Government. How can it be otherwise, when
the North is continually changing her measures and
her men, aud splitting up into innumeraoie fnctions'
Has the North any steady, uniform views 81 govern
| mental pol;oyl If she has, we should like 10 h"o"
what they are, Take New York or Massachusetts
and We shall ind the effect Of those factions 10 oe'
that Mississippi delegation would represent '"e
views aud principles Of large majority oi 'ue P'0
,,e nr better than the representatives elect oi o''
S,stcs either in the Federal State Legislatures
1tsr, is NOT shadow Of doubt that, as yet, large
majority OF the people Of those TWO States u'e eou'
serva,ive aud friendly TO tho Union 1e' 'he'F 'ep'e
sentatives are destructives OF tho "orS' 'na''

and more sctive commercial relations between North

and conservative policy OF government, State and
( National begun We do not fear Northern Dens-
cratic majority, because this party has always seen
the identity of interest between North and South,
and been ready to do justice to the South. Or, at
leust enough Northern Democrats, united with the

Conservatives at the North must see, from the re-
