The mriy That u devoted 10 true l,c-

inspired ~ The hope Of rc.rlabli-ha
ing its political supremacy. The days
as they roll on bring us nearer to the
period when reason and sober apprc
citation Of what Is due to the honor
aud wirty Of our nationality will
govern the popular vote The masses
have been dcmorulilcd, but they are
not corrupt We can trust to the
influences Of time 10 bring about q
healthy and temperate sentiment upon
the issues that now distract the land.
When that time shall have come,
Il will be realized by the masses that
the Radicals are no better than po-
litical highwaymcn whose policy to-
ward the South has no better logic
than--your money or your life. Dick
rurpin, well mounted and with a
pistol in either hand, was able to inn
pose his own terms on the bclatcd
and unarmcd traveller on the lonely
heath. SO can the Radicals say to
the Southern people; Give oil that
you have that is precious Of your in
heritance, and in return we grant
you political existence. They want
negro, negro suffrage and the Consti-
tutional Amendment. DO they con-
tend for these measures in the open
field Of political controversy, as il is
intended by our form of Govern
ment that all political measures
should be contcndcd for in this re-
public? No, With their fingers At
the throat of the South, she PROSTATE
and helpless, they arrogant and pow
erful, they say, yield us what We
want or remain political nonentities
and outcasts.
Under this system of more than
Ottoman tyranny the garden Of ON
country, the richest fairest portion ot
our agricultural domain languishc.
in disorder and unproductiveness
The energies of the South are par.
alyzed, and the rccupcrative spirit
denied the stimulant of hope, remains
passive, while nature and civilization
and the interests of the country cry
to il for action. Under the iron rod
industry finds no encouragement ol
profit. Commerce is fearful of ven.
turing into fields blighted by III,
venom of ianatieism. Intellect look
into the dreary future and sees M
rccompcnse for its activity, so it sit
brooding in the midst of ruin anc
despair. Christian gentlemen an,
their refined and cultivated iamilie
are suffering from privations, an'
their poverty is insulted by the be
sottcd negro. Nothing is left to tn
South but the power of endurance
unless from the resources of dcspera
ton il take the means of redress.
But when men born to freedom
and reared in the light of civiliza
tion, are thus held in the thumb
screws by faction, the limit is sool
reached when they are no longc
willing to endure. There is spiri
in the North, if not in the South
that is very, very weary Of thcs
gross and dangerous outrages upo
republicanism that have now becom
, a fixed system with the Radicals.
