Condition Of the South.


condition Of he south, aud also compares
ihe South to Mexico, a country that has
been more then ruined by an evil which
the radicals Of this country are irving to
force upon the people Of lie South, r;z
miscegenalion
The political condition of the south 10
day is worse than that Of Mexico Injee,l.
the bold and candid remarks OF Governor
Anderson, of Ohio on the sub ice. OF the
Monroe doctrine. in lis late nessaoa. ap-
/ ply with equal force and truth to Tie con
/ GiIon OF tie south. The Ohio governor
says, :hat re considers it assuming too
much for Uncle sam to appoint himself
graodpapa and guardian over The Whole
+ family, or batch, of Spanish American
republics, and to protect them against
real or Imaginary cons; tracy BY al the
/ crowned fnnct;onaIies of Europe think
! TINS Is most rational view of the case,
! especially when it is conside' ell hat Urc.e
! Sam has already assumed the mighty res
! possibility of becoming the paternal
/ guardian Of batch OF 600 900 Of freed
Degroes; and have failed to provide for the
I payment, Is well as tie protection and
/ support Of this one colorel family, how
are we to take care of innumerabe fami-
/ lies of different colors? Gov Anderson
/ says that, in 40 years, 200 revolutions
! have ruthlessl y ruined aud oppressed the
! people and government of Mexico, and
! have brought disgrace alike upon he
sacred name Of "Iepub'ican liberty" and
/ OF human nature This is precisely what
the people Of The south honestly contend
/ that tae people of the northeast have
ELECTED by 40 years Of political revolutions
/ IN congress and elsewhere. The governor
! OF Ohio declare that the Mexicans are rot
TIT tor our form of government, and that
I is is vain thing for US to attempt 20 hold
them up In this, their free right Of general
slaughter and mutual ruin" This, |
think, is indisputable logic; and if 50 be,
ho" much more powerful must be the
! deduction that the same Is true OF The
small colored family of four millions which
| Uncle Sam desires to educate in al the
! political rights Of republican liberty, .
and raise to the social position OF the white
| man And, continues cur Ohio governor,
"ss Individual phiIanrhropists, it we're as
wise for Us - spend our money and shed
our blood, in such cause) as for TIE alb
s,Fart right &C An empty meal bag to sand
| a.one that's a c.incher-that's The
| whole question in nut shell. It is
! wrong ht-lTou, rivcted on both sides. God
| knows thai we have spent enough blood
! and treasure in freeing the negro. but now
that be IS tree, YOU can no more raise
him to Ihe equality of white man, or
/ make him labor without the same coercion
that compels the school boy 10 learn his
! lessons, that you can make an empty
! mea! bag stand alone" won,.er if Gov
/ Anderson was a miller, for that last 6gure
! told we'll, and was certain very fiowery.
Now, jnst apply the following quotation
from Gov. Ander>on's message to the
southern states, and i; viii lie universally
confessed that nothing can tie more forci>
diy true in relation to the south, while the
latter part gives tie final tabeau Of he
admirable picture:
. In short one year Of peaceful industry by
the Mexicans lif they could only 60 back into

! Of more national honor. too to us than decades
! OF war, with century Of conquered possession
/ of these mines and AL their naked lands. nd
1t must not be forgotten. in this connection,
I that one month OF Il war with France would cost
/ this nation, IN the loss Of its national credit
! and the depreciation Of its currency. more than
all Mexico is worth in fee simple. And with
/ It's people numbering the ground, patriotism

the aid of their allies, our raw freedmen, ru ing

Of our institutions and habits that its worst
classes must rule Us, greatly beyond the pre-
