The Southern Press ON the Elections.
We make the following selections from
the comments of Southern papers on the
recent elections, beginning with the
Lynchhurg way Republican, as follows
"The result OF the late Northern cleo |
! tious makes it very certain that the Rad |
! icals will have a tw0-third vote IN the |
next Congress of the United States, as |
thew have in this Congress, and that, |
backed up by q large majority OF the
Northern people who are thoroughly
Jacohin IN their feelings and sentiments
they will be emboldened to do almost
ANYTHING which hatred and fear of the
South NAV suggest to their SOrdld and
vindictive minds We think IL certain
that the South will be excluded from all
participation in the affairs of the Gov

certainly until after the next Presidential
election that We will be held IN Ter,
ritorial condition and be subject to all
the aunoyanCes, determinations ana
outrages that fanatical party, nushed
with fresh victory, may think proper TO
impose upon helpless people, in order
, To make them submissive to their
arbitrary will and power. 1t Is true the
President stands between Congress and
the people, and may do something to
mitigate our condition and shield US
from worse Calamites than those we
> now endure. But as Congress Is now
constituted, the President is almost as
, helpless as the South, and as much the
object OF Jacobin wrath, If there
should be any necessity for hlslm-
} peacbment he will certainly be i'm
n neached. and have his head taken OF,
5 perhaps, as was the head Of Charles L. OF
n England. Nor DO we see how the Presi-
. dent can resist such an outrage, for he
has already recognized Congress as now
constituted to be Constitutional body,
/ and if it be So then they have a COnstl-
n tutional right to impeach and remove
e him. and he can say nor do nothing
Besides. we don't believe that any large
- portion Of the people OF the NoEth are
>, capable of fighting for Constitutions
n liberty, and that, IN a crisis they Woult
s. abandon the President and yleid
n tame submission to the revolutionary
m behests of Thad. Stevens and Ben
. Rutlprl Thousands Of them will vote
and talk rightly, as they have done il
the late elections, but when the iSSue'
7e come to anything more serious, they
Of will leave the President and the Souu
v to the tender merces Of the JacobinS
al while they will take care OF themsetve
and the almighty dollar.
These are sad aud disc0ura9ing re
Elections, but we honestly believe then
10 to be true, and give them to our reader
u for what they are worth. There Is bn
l. one process that we can see D
n which the country can be eXtrlcate
e., from it's present dilemma, aud its consu
- tutional liberties preserved from tota
D. wreck. aud that is for the President t
formally announce, by proclamation
at at the close OF the present Congress, tina
n the next or new C0DgaesS shall DE con
e posed. as the Constitution requires,
Sc Two Senators from each State, and tn
w proper plumber of Representatives troE
IN all the States, and that ne will ens0Ff

ID. law by the whole power OF the arm

to he does this, the country will tie curse
