Democratic principles and Democratic pros
pects. They urge the Southern States, upon
partisan grounds. t. refuse its ratification; and
In all their arguments and action, they show
clearly tnat they are guided alone BY party
considerations. To the Southern States, on the
other hand, the question is very vital ana
practical one ~ affects thelr nscTes.s .n

BY being debarred rom their snare III legista-

of Ibe resources of their section, they suffer in
ways which the Democratic partisans IN the
North do not take iuto account, and which they
would not scruple to ignore from coDslderauons
OF party character. -, =.
The being debarred from representation in
both Houses of JCopgress is not matter for
levity in the South, nor matter to De handled
successfully for party purposes, asin the Nortn.
IL is d most serious concern and an evil TO be
surmounted In whatever way is practicable by
those who suffer from it. A large number OF the
Southern people are beginning TO look at the
matter in this lieht, and, without regard to what
is said by Northern Democrats, are casting
about them for the means by which they can
secure possession of those allimportant rights
ana privileges which belong TO them as states
in the Union. These people, we hope, will take
the matter out OF the hands of the old politl-
clans who now govern the South as they did in
other days, and will see to 1t that common
sense and spirit oil compromise must be brought
to bear upon the necessities of the situation.
The North has pronounced for this amendment
with such degree of unanimity, that we can
see DO hope for the settlement of our political
troubles, and the admission of the South to the
right OF representation in Congress, but in its
adoption.
