In snswer to an inquiry Of ",rhe South" We reply
that controlling voice in the councils of the De

the party. Tho Democratic party lands on the

With regard to the admission Of California, "The
South" makes good our charge, and while it denies
oil pslaton Of that measure does palliate it by the
repeated asseveratiou that the mob of California were
