One great consrasting point between the North
and South at present, is the almost supine indif-
ference the subject Of politics in the latter and
the extreme agitation at the North. In the pre-
sentation of distinctive views the Democratic party
at the North entirely comedies with the largely
prevalent Southern ideas. Indeed am satisfied
there is veta national party composed of Demo
Gratis at the North and the white people of the
South, and that their views are nearly concident.
1t is refreshing to see the old Democratic party
intact, powerful and occupying the same basis as
In 1860 II there be any difference the Democratic
party is more Southern, st the present time, than
the South, perhaps because more excited by con
iguous radical fury. The great wish and desire
Of the Democratic party North, appear to be to
have the late two helligerent sections coalesce on
the terms 10 general expressed by General Grant
at the surrender of General Lee, and restore the
ten excluded States on basis of perfect equality
and constitutional right, and thereby forming
great national party, oust the radical party from
power. Considerable observation forces me to
the opinion that the views as expressed by Demo-
cratic speakers at numerous public meetings prior
TO the late elections in Pennsylvania and other
States, arefraugh enlarged constitutional and
South. but on the contrary theEutmost fraterniza-
ton The four constitutional amendments pro
posed bg the radicals are universally exeerated by
the Democratic party as unjust, sectional partial
and anti American.
One people North and South, and the govern
ment administered the basis Of the ideas of the
first Nty years of history, would be the grand
est slgat in our times. Our natural allies at the
ortii are questonless the Democratic party under
AnureW Johnson. The formation of such an alli-
ance and a unity of action and concert of ideas,
would soon right the old ship Of state and enable
to override The political breakers of progress and
expansion. The rant of the radicals is rampant
beyond record. They openly ayoW that should
the President stir hand foot further the course
he IL pursuing he will be impeached, the State
governments now existing in the South be over
turned and completely remodeled according to The
ideas OF the radical Congress, without regard to
State rights Or the rights of white men, or the
Constitution. On no account are the ten Southern
States TO be admitted unless the four eonstitu-
fional amendments are previously adopted by them.
Their idea seems to be first to amend the Constitu
Tlon. aceordlng to the principles supposed to be
established by their success in the war, and then
admit the Southern States under Constitution SO
amended. The additional strength which the Dem
oerafle party would receive by the admission of
the South, at the present time, seems to be the
reason of the desire to make the Constitution itself
sectional, partzan and radical. But the Demo
cratic party stood firm and though wounded and
bleeding are not dead One of the strong points.
and Ohio elections, and in that about to come off
in Virginia. is that the Democratic party is the
rebel party, and in sentiments aceords with the
South.
AT two different and very large Democratic
meetings, a traveller wei known there, was called
on by the great crowd TO address the people. The
radicals raised a mob and declared ttata Southern
man should not be allowed to speak in the North.
Democratic muscle and blows put the mob down
efectually, and the speaker proceeded. It is eyi-
dent that the radical party are entirely unsated
as yet, and demand the ousting Of the white man
Of the esouth from the soil which he has civilized
and tire country he has assisted to create They
demand that the negro must vote, to neutralize
the Vote Of the white man, and to make the radi-=
cal party national. The absence of the South
from the national government for fye years, has
permitted q dissemination of uncomhatted radi-5
GAL ideas, inasmuch that the rights Of the States
are utterly misunderstood and unknown, and but
for Andrew Johnson's tirmness, Congress would
be the sole government, similar to the French
directory Of 1888, which inaugurated reign of
terror. The speaker id the above case, and in
Others, was your correspondent.
