OtanoefS On s3ON ~
The following In extract nom
q speech Of Senator Doollttle, recent
~ delivered at Bunhlo Mr.. DoolIt-
tie, II must be remembered, Is him
self a member OF tho 'R epubllcan"
party;
Having received O letter from n
man OF the South, who was once I'm
Congress, aud whom I knew very
well-I refer to Mr.. Curry, of Ala
bama, and who h now the President
of one Of the colleges in that State
and he having stated I'm his letter to
me that the South was completely
caricatured in some Of the testimony
which was given before the Recon-
struction Committee in Washington,
and having made that statement on
the authority OF Mr.. Curry in the
Senate of the United States, 1t drew
from n gentleman I'm the State of
New York, who may be known to
some of you present, and whose
name / will not withhold refer
to Colonel Tarbell-a letter, an ex-
tract from which / will now read
Speaking of the condition of the
South, he says:
"Allow me to say that have been
I'm the States OF Georgia, Alabama,
and Mississippi, since December last
that / was Wing and am Re
publican, and hence looked closely
ut Southern society. 1 have no hesi-
tation I'm sdenouncing the reports In
Northern newspapers of Outrages up
ON the blacks and upon Northern
settlers, as utter fabrications, or ma
licious exaggerations. travelled by
rail, by water, on horseback, on foot,
I'm company and RlOne-by day and
by alphabetically unarned except a
pocket knife-purpOsely, openly and
frankly declaring to every one was
n Yankee and a Black Republican,
/ met others who had travelled on
horseback from Florida to Mississip-
pi, who like me were Republicans
aud do assure you / would sooner
travel throughout the South than
the North, 50 far as personal safety
Il concerned. To go from here to
the South IL like passing out of the
work of the week into the Sabbath
all Is quiet-all are trying to work
for living-fOr all are on q level and
compelled 10 work with their own
hands. Yankee land does not pre-
sent n more active, industrious scene
I than the whole South, nor could
Yankees display more energy, integ-
rity, and recuperative power i'm stand
ing on nothing. To say that the
South II 'caricatured' i'm the North
does not express it. She Il SANDER
ed, villihed, wickedly, UNANIMOUSLY
/ belied. Were the South to come
/ North she would not recognize her
self. Were the North to 20 SoIth
/ she would be astonished at the mis-
representations and falsehOOds, and
with the cruelty unjust and erroneous
sentiments prevailing here"
81 assure you, sir, that this terrific
/ public opinion that Is driving the
North to the support of the startling
and dangerous Capitalization of pow
CT In Congress. is based upon false
hood and misrepresentation. AS ]
expect to be judged by my Maker on
the great day of final Judgment, ]
state to you sOlemnly that, from eX-
tensive travels in these States, from
conversation with all classes and
colors, and after listening to hun
dreds, l believe before high Heaven
that all these newspaper reports OF
hatred to and Outrages upon blacks
by whites, and of the molestation oil
Northern settlers, are baseleSs, wick
eel fabrications, cQpcOcted and report
ed expressly to crush this fearful pub
lie opinion which should sustain the
change Of the fundamental principles
of the Constitution"
