Ihese constitute all the important commit
tees OF that body, enough to control the entire
legislation OF the country and it will be seen
that the south hare got them all! So far as the
organization of that body is concerned, there
Is no north, no east, no west!" 1t is all South,
SOUTH, SOUTH! Sectionazed, the commit
tees stand thus -
Foreign Affairs-Mason, of Va, South.
Commercially, of Ala. South.
Post Office-Yulee, of Fla. South.

Th' lakes pretty showing up the coun-

east, and west in false positions before the
people. The result has been, to drive the
Democrats from the free states out of Con-
gress, not being able to stand on southern plat
forms and cope with northern opposition
Every turn of the southern thumbscrews upon
the northern democracy has decimated their
numbers, until now, SO far as the democratic
party is concerned, the south have undisputed
control IN both branches of Congress.
1t tore down towering Democratic MAORI
ty in the House; it has nearly obliterated the
Democratic majority in the Senate-a majority
that stood nhoOflv oil
for nearly fifty years. Lecompton sent Sena-
tor Jones, Senator Wright, Senator Shields,
and Senator Pugh into retirement, and substi-
tuted Black Republicans in their places. 1t
will soon end the days of Senators Bigler
Bright. and Fitch and leave Douglas the last
democratic Senator in that body from the free
states, "the sole survivor of his race" No
new democratic Senator can ever be elected
from any free state, who in any way endorsed
that fatal measure. Douglas is the last COM
missioned on the list and if the present south
ern dynasty is to be perpetuated, in ga he will
be the only democratic Senator representing any
portion Of this great contederdcy north of Mason
and Diron'S line! AT present, the south have
the President, Vice President and Cabinet
Does any one doubt that? The south have a
majority of the Supreme Court. Does any
one deny this By their late action in the
Senate, they have control of our foreign rela-
tons, our commerce, the Post Office depart
ment, territories, naval affairs, judiciary, etc.
And still, the same south are threatening to
dissolve the Union because they are perse-
cuted people The little state of Florida,
which has not one-half as many voters as
Hamilton county, is honored with the chair
manship of two Senatorial committees-Post
Offices and Naval Afairs-while Ohio, with
more voters than Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Georgia, put to-
gether, has nothing And yet it is the south
who are continually ranting against sectional
