roaring Radical. And his case serves
but; to illustrate the prevailing rule:
The Northern people, or i. majority
sufficient to control Congress, are
today arrayed against the >con.titu-
tional policy Of the Executive, and
their disposition to adopt measures
more radical than the constitutional
.mendpent increases with ! force that
is utterly inexplicable. -. 80.

no hope in regard to tbs elections yet
to come. Everywhere it is clean par

the Democratic party.
How glsdly I should report differ
ont state Of things you aeed not be in
formed. But, you desire. above i'll
things candid, honest impressions, and
my aim in this correspondence shall be
to give them. This is not. I time for
honeyed phrases, or for pictures that
have no merit except as works Of the
Imagination. What. the country pre-
eminently requires is : correct concep-
ton Of its position. The North is mis-
led BY lying newspapers, BY knaves
.ad demagogues, by stories Of persecu-
tion and cruelty invented aud reiterated
with the view Of fostering the prejudi-
ces on which the Radical leaders rely
for = continuance Of their power. The
South has been deceived in relation to
the Philadelphi. convention, the North
ern members. Of which possessed no
representative character whatsoever,
and the proceedings Of which have not
exercised the slightest influence upon
Northern opinion. And there is dan
ger that the South will be sg,;n deeeiv-
ed BY tho tone in which Democratic
editors discus, the elections Of Tuesday
last, aud BY the confidence with which
they promise = triumph Of conservatism
in this and other States. Plain speak.
ing, therefore,, becomes : necessity :--
For the South must in thi. crisis rely
upon itself and itself alone. There Is
no party in the North strong enough 70
belpi il 70 acquire the full measure Of
its rights under the Constitution. The
