The South and Radical Policy.


nsiThas Radical policy towards the
Southern States is ono which debases.
ruins and destroys a@ .aetida, and gives
no advantage to any section.
They intend to Cypress, t. subject that
people to unequal and onerous Legislation;
to impose disabilities upon them.
This'species of Legislation has always
been rpinous to every people. who, have
been SO unhappy as to become itsvictims.
1t has ruined Ireland; rendered the
population Of that fertile island discomfort
cd and unhappy. 1t lIas' destroyed their
commerce. paralyzed their energies aud
crippled their industry. It has laid heavy
and unequal burthons on the people, rend-
ering them hopeless. Hence they have no
real attachment for the English people,
their hopes are darkened. they do not la
Dor for their own or the general prosperi-
y. .H..a.t ltF Il .tT ..0
The Radicals propose the same condi-
ton for the South.
And why ruin the Southf Why 10y
heavy and unequal burthcns on that peo-
pie? Why cripple their industry and par
alyze their energies by hostile legislation ?
Is not that part of the United States p
Arc not all the people interested in the
prosperity of every part of the Union? =

tighten the heavy load of taxation? viii
not the wealth of that people pay its pro-
portion of the national debt, and to that
extent relieve the North? Will not the
poverty Of that people diminish the reve-
nue. to be derived from them? .'s
Then, why persist in sentiments Of hos
tility to them. which must result in adverse
and unfriendly legislation? Such legisla-
ton will tend to promote discontents.
Discontents will be followed by still more
unfriendly legislation. Murmurings and
connections will be followed by insubcrdi-
nation. Insubordinations will become
pretezts for hostile and ruinous legislation.
Hostile legislation and civil and political
disabilities will produce their inevitable
consequences there, as they have done ev-
cry where else. and the South with q eli
mate and soil the most favored in the
world, and with natural resources unexam.
pied, will yet become a second Ireland.

such an election they throw up their hats,

GUS pretensions and hypocritical virtues
that the Southern people are to be reform
ed. living got rid, they say. of the blot
of slavery. they intend to follow up this
achievement. by the introduction Of uni
versal educati n and exalted morality. In
other words they boast that they intend to
Aothernise the whole South! Already
this work has commenced in various ways
A powerful instrument towards its accom-
plishment, is to be found in the hordes Of
Yankee teachers, both male and female,
that ar, already swarming the whole
South, making rapid strides towards hybri-
dizing the two races, and at the same time,
under the power Of their authority as
teachers, are inculc,ting the grossest err
rors in morality. religion and science.
But new and startling feature has
been introduced into the Northern trade,
for the Improvement Of The South. In the
accounts of the appalling calamity which
recently befel the Evening Star" at sea,
by which nearly three hundred persons
persisted, the papers make the following
melancholy yet revolving statement, viz
GUESTS ron THE NEW oKLyAxs SrRAaI,os.
Ninety-sevHn young girls, whose ages varied from
fifteen to Twenty-Five were among the unfortu-
mates. These had been engaged BY the matrons
ofsundry New Orleans saaisons de .joie to take
| apartments in their respective establishments for
the winter.
Missionaries from the North to the
South! What an exposition Of Northern
hypocrisy But for this unfortunate and
disastrous calamity the world would never
have known what productions the North
arc developing and exporting for the poor,
ignorant .Souih. They first, in times past,
scduced the South into the institution of
slavery by sending them their slaves. AZ
ter getting rid of them themselves, and
pocketing their price, they became envi-
Gus of the fruits Of slavery in the South,
and turn around and rob them Of the very
property which they had sold to them
Now that slavery has been exhausted the
North has opened new trade with the
South. in Yankee prostitutes How this
new enterprise will result, 90 one yet can
predict; but one thing is certain, if il,
should prove to be money making al
venture. you will End Yankee spectators
ready to appropriate to their own use the
profits of the trade.

Es' The Radicals, notwithstan ding the
decision of the Court of Appeals of this
State to the contrary, are still endeavor-
ing to induce the Judges OF Election to 60
behind the action OF the Registers. cl i'm
ing that the decision of the Registers as to
the right of a party to vote is not final but
may be reversed Or disregartlcd. AS an
evidence of the incorrectness of this posi-
ton we nigh cite the action of the last
House Of Delegates on this point, that
body having refused in case which came
before them, by a large majority, to go
behind the action Of the Registers.
But further up to the time of the third
reading of the bill there remained sec
ton in it declaring that the action of the
Registers "staH not b" .fnal," leaving it
an open question with the Judges of Elcc-
ton as to the proper registering Of the
party. On the fual passage of the bill,
however, this section was stricken out,
showing it was not intended that the
Judges of Election SHOULD have the right
to question or go behind the action of the
Registers. .a rur.'.. .... 81.
The whole duty of the Judges of Elec-
ton is to ascertain that the name of the
party offering tovote is on the Registry
list, aad that nonc others are permitted to
vote. When they go beyond this it is
clearly violation of law for which they
will be held responsible at the proper time.
