We regret that we cannot & i've in full eloquent
and patriotic address recently delivered in Alabama
by H. W. billiard, Esq, an eminent Wing leader in
that State, and at time a jealous champion of
the American party. The of events has
brought him to the support of the Democratic ,ary
the only true policy to pursue-and, for the fol
lowing sound and unanswerahc reasons which con
cIude his mastery address:
He desired to see an undivided South, not for sec
tional purposes, but to destroy that sectionalism
which threatened the South. 1t The weaker sec
ton, dependent upon the constitution for its potec
lion in the Union. It's construction of the consiu-
lion had been pronounced by the highest iu-
dicia tribunal of the county. The administration
now in power avOwed the same construction in ad-
vance of its judicial determination. Two branches

which was presented of consolidating a party
which, having for Its base undivided South sup.

would present array irresistible TO our enemies?
He felt that he but in advance of his former
friends; that the unseish md rejecting would move
up towards his position. He well remembered that
in 1916, when the tariff under discussion, the
pain with which he felt compelled to differ from his
party. He knew that he would be subjected 10 ami
madversion that sinister motives would be ascrib
ed to him but he had determined to adhere to prIn-
ciplcs, which never msled while the paths of policy
tortuous, and be'ray to wrong and he had voted
alone Of all the Wings IN the country for the tariff of
1916. 1t made many friend grow cold for a time
towards him, and he would have met with opposition
then but that the Democracy magnanmously sus-
tanned him. He appealed 10 the people of the dis
trict and they then endorsed his The result
has justified his Judgment, and tariff which the best
6nancier OF the Whig party, George Evans. of
Maine, had said would not produce thirteen millions
of dollars, had brought surplus revenue into the
treasury, and led to further reduction of the taxes
of the people. So he was confident that time would
aVenge him on his enemies by forcing them once
more 10 adopt his position He was only leading the
vanguard of an army of Southern men, who, even
in the last contest, recognised the Democracy al
lies, and would soon fraernlze in their camp set
against the Black Republicans
here were but the two parties in the country and
even if the Americans or opposition should elect
member of Congress from this district what would be
his position? Destitute of support he could accom-
plsh nothing. The first question that would come up
would be the election OF Speaker. Would he support
the administration the Black Republican candi.

then precisely what he is doing now In all questions
between the two parties he would be forced to sus.
tain and act with the Democracy What, then,
could be accomplished beyond ruitless local tri-
umph by running an opposition candidate Nothing
but harvest of embttered feeling. They might
taunt him with desire for Office, and tell him that he
work, that he distrusted and suspected and
could never gain position He could tell them they had
saved him the trouble; their detracon had done
tie work for hun But he was led by no desire for
place; he expected no Office he asked for no prefer
ment. He came into the Democratic party because
there he might more efectually The country !;
because it the Or ly which had vitality and
courage sufficient to meet and overcome abotionism
and rescue the country and constitution from Black
Republicanism; because he saw another and more
deadly contest approaching, IN which every man was
expected do his duty, and he only taking pre-
cedence of his old friends. AS TO the imputation
made by them of desiring honors, he had atiecta
ton about it he was satisfied that whenever the De-
mocracy wanted him they would call on him. and he
would assure them, for their satisfaction, that when
ever they called, he 1UOuld respond. But it too
