five thousand white men have already been de-

Southern conservatism is dead, Or rather, worse
than dead-it is q bundle of illogical pretenses.
The South knows that her system cannot remain
stationary; it must grow stronger or perish. The
most cOnst ryatiye men of the South, who wish to
keep their institution restricted to its present linn

must extend their empire and provide means to rem
oyate its interior constitution. The steady pressure
of Northern opinion rOts ana weakens the system

they slip away; the leak wideHs and extends from
