feg Of my thoughts In SO doing, l am infu-
encccd encccda-b By NY grsat,Fespeett for you, and by
sincere desire that your administration may
consolidate the party, not less than by sense
of my DUTY as Jealous Democrat. The cntl-
cal condition of our affairs, would seem to JUS
tify my presuming on this liberty.
It is certainly important that you be well
informed of the popular tendencies, from time
to time, to enable you to shape your conduct
TO suit-for we who have been so long IN pol
itics, know, that it is less what is right PER sE'
than what is popular, and which most tends to
make capital for the party, that great Leader
should have in his minds eye.
And, firstly, take it for granted that we
have to retain our hold on the South, or the par
ty will 90 to pieces-even though we, OF the
! North do have to submit to mach, that we would
otherwise feel to be dishonorabe and treason
to the Constitution. For what is the Consti-
tuition? Nothing, in fact--wherc the great in
terests Of the party are in. question. Is II
nothing, to lose the control of such Govern
mcnt as this? with salaries and perquisites Tor
1870 900 great and good men, and who have,
all, claims for faithful service rendered US
, Could. Indeed the Union survive the Democratic
party? why, then, ought the Constitution to
be thought Of, as ANYTHING, if opposed to our
policy, of party union with the South? II nee
essary to consolidate such great measure all
worthy men and genuine democrats will say a
once, "let the South construo it as they please
and we will endorse their construction"
"Then again. our laboring men and sinai
farmers, here in the North must be made to oc
cupy their true position in society, and tn
t sooner the better. Perhaps we may learn some
= thing from the South, in shaping up our instl
tutious. regarding labor. The South has nom

her "poo. whites" ~ she keeps them down.
