ORGANIZATION OF THE NEXT HOUSE
We Isloicc to observe the uuanimity which prevails
among the Southern opposition press in favor o. union
Of the opposition in the organization the next House a
Representatives So far we have seen there is not
dissenting voice to the proposition in the ranks OF 4
party at the South All perceive the necessity of elect
to the Speakership who will not pack the comm
ices with the view to suppression OF investigation
the enormous frauds and abuses which have character
the history Of the present administration; and CON
quently, the entire Southern opposition party cordil
favor the idea Of union among the opposition naemb
Of Congrcss-Norh and Southfor the purpose Of cleo
suitable persons to the various Offices Of the House.
especially TO the important and responsible
oil Speaker In the judgment Of the Sout
opposition no democrat, whether from the North O,
south, should, under any circumstances, be permitt
occupy the position of Speaker Of the next House of
representatives.. In their opinion none but a membe
one or the other wing Of the opposition should be see
70 MI iha' ONCE at the present time And thus hini
there can occur nohingto justify excuse single OBJ
ton member of Congress from the South in giving his
port to democrat for Speaker In Withholding his So
port from any opposition member hO may be Designated
by the united opposition their candidate for the most
AS Southern man, sincerely and devoedy attache \
70 southern institutions and Southern rights and yet un
shaken IN our ardent devotion to the union of the States
we airm now as We have affirmed before that not even
nqusoria tortures could force into the support a
either Northern Southern democrat for the Sneak
ershp OF the next House of Representatives We aGr.
now as we have affirmed before that as patriot and az
an honest man. VINO cannot and will not connve at the
corruption which has been practised under the
present progate and detestabe administration we should
vote with all bodness and with all cordaty for tho ver
Drpf
renee to any democrat whatever. On this ground
take our stand, and on this ground we shall continue
stand in spite of the wangs and howlngs Of all the
mocratc demagogues on earth or in the regions of b
father his sable majesty Of the realms Of darkness
ntlmatons or nsinuatons from them to the effect that
thus advocating the election of an opposition SNEAK
whether in the person of Southern wing or North.
republican, we are manfesting disloyay to the So !.
ana sympathzng with the objects of its enemies,
shall treat with the unutterable contempt which
SANDERS and fasehoods deserve Ihas been with Sr
err eoiors and politicians the settled h..
ou une es 70 characieze Southern wings abo
cnance or tolerate the manifold rascaes and yllanics
o. Tue acmocranc party We are accustomed these
cainmhious accusations, and cannot, at this time OF
Gay, be either iEtimidatcd Disconnected by them
Those negroess democratic demagogues very well know
that, in insinoang charge of inHdelity 10 the South
against Southern wings they are only giving ueranco ~
deliberate and wful alschood designed to inpose upon
.e 700 easy creduty Of the honest but ignorant ard
uniformed voters in the Southern States II is thei,
custom we repeat-and especially on the eve Of an cleo
tonic play upon the sensitiveness of Southern men in
70 tne institution of slavery for the sole purpose
o. promoting the vile and despcable ends of party aud
thereby continuing themselves the possession and en-
OF the public plumber But the masses of the
Southern people understand at last the object of their
noisy and clafnorous professions of devotion TO Southern
rights and Of their false and silly accusations against the
nouhern opposition They see only love Of the spos al
he Dottom OF all their pretensions and all their move
ments and hence their cuckoo cry OF abolition agains
.her oetcrs mas lost its power to benefit themselves
deceive others, and is treated by all men nj the S0uth
they regard not.
In conclusion therefore, invoke every Southern o.
position member Of Congress to hesitate not a momen
ABOUT co operating with the Northern opposition in the or
ganizaton OF the next House 1t is their solemn publ
duy 70 unite with them in this simple and urgent matte
OF business IN view OF the overwhelming importance OF
cIrehg out ana exposing the frauds and corruptons
Wncn prevail ID every department Of the government
we repeat thai no opposition member either section
stand excused to his constituents and to the country
VINO as 70 do anything in his power prevent the cleo
uon o. democratic Speaker, who would necessarily so
constitute the committee as to suppress the investigations
Iato the ABUSES OF which his party and ad
every opposition member from the South march bodlv
70 the discharge Of his duty regardless OF personal
sequences.
