This makes pretty showing up to the
country of Southern clannishness ana sec
tionalism. BY cottoning and sugarlng TO-
cether in Congress and Conventions, the
South, by IL unity of action, lnclted ny q
unity of interests, have so far controlled
Presidents and party issues, rs to put the
Democracy of the North, East, and West in
n false position before the people. The re-
suit has been to drive the Democrats from
the free States out of Congress, not beng
able to stand on Southern platforms and
cope with Northern Opposition. Every turn
of the Southern thumb-screws upon the
Northern Democracy has decimated their
numbers until now, so far as the Democrat
ic party is concerned, the South has undls-
puted control in both branches OF Con
grcss.
In inveigling Old Buck into his Lecomp-
ton policy, the South would have blotted
out The Democratic party North, but for the
powerful and timely interference of Senator
Douglas. As it was, 1t made slaughter
house OF the free States, carrying every one
of them over to the enemy save one, and that
one was where the defiant leader Of the
Northern Democracy resided, and carried
on the campaign i'll person against Buchan-
an, Black, and the Black Republicans
alias the World the Flesh, and the D-L
IL tore down a towering Democratic NIT
iority IN the House it has nearly obliterated
the Democratic majority in the Senate, q
majority that has stood triumphantly against
all opposition for near fifty years. Lecomp
ton sent Senator Jones, Senator Wright
Senator Shields, and Senator Pugh into re-
tirenent, and substituted Black Republican;
in their places 1t will soon end the day:
of Senators BigIer, Bright, and Fitch; ant
leave Douglas the last Democratic Senator
in that body from all the free States, the
" sole survivor of the race No new Demo
cratic Senator can ever be elected from any
free State who in any way endorsed tina
fatal measure.
Douglas is the last commissioned on the
list, and if the present Southern dynasty i
TO be perpetuated, in Ca he will he the onl,
Democratic Senator representing dRY porfoI
of this gredt C0nfedeTdcy North ct lHaSoH'
and Diron's line. At present the SOutl
have the President, Vice President, an,
Cabinet. Does any one doubt that2 Tn
South have a majority in the Suprem
Count. Does any one deny this BY tnei
late action in the Senate they have conlro
of our Foreign Relation, our Comner tn
Postoffice Department, Territories, Nava
Affairs Judiciary, &c. And still, this sam
South are threatening to dissolve the Onio
because they are a prosecuted people
The little State of Florida, which has nC
one-halfas many voters as Hamilton cocnty
is honored with the Charmanship of tw
Senatorial Committees, PoStoiliceS, an
