what We Want now in the South.

We want a great deal and more
I am afraid than We will ever get,
but
lSt. We want all the dram shops
closed up and those who keep them
put at some useful business. Then
our people will be freed from the
temptations to drunkenness.
ed. We want all the Merchants to
knock out the heads of the casks of
Intoxicating liquors now i'll their
back rooms and take solemn pledge
never to have any more to ruin old or
Young men by tempting them to
drink in Il clandeStinc way.
Sd. We want about two thirds or
tIrcc-fourths of all the stores and
shops in the land closed, and all those
who are in them out i'll the fields
working to make corn, potatoes, cot
ton. etc. Let the cripples and ladies
keep store" and all the young,
stout, able bodied men go to work at
producing for the country. Goods
would then he cheaper, taxes lighter
and the country much better off. |
think we would get goods from one
to two hundred per cent.
cheaper if the stores were thus re
duccd.
4th. We want about eighteen or
twenty lawyers now in Madison
county (and perhaps as many in seve-
ral-or large majority of the coun-
ties in the South) to quit the business
and go to work on farms, that bread
may be cheaper and corn more plen-
tifuI. Two or three old or crippled
LAWYERS could do all the business
that ought to be done in our county.
Yet | have been told that it requires
about $4,000 to support the lawyers
of Madison county!
9th. We want every man, who may
be allowed to do so, to register, and
when the time comes vote NO CON
so loud that old Thad.
Stevens and his gang will think that
all the Artillery Gcnl Lee had had
opened on Washington city. We
want every man in the State to vote
that ticket. We do. If we get that
want we shall not be 1cantiRg IN SELF
respect. In Dec SperimnS.

HCR ACE GREELEY ON RADICAL
INCENDIARIEs IN THE SOUTH.

The New York Tribune, in the
course of an article calling for con
tributions Of money to enable the
Republican party to send as canvas
scrs in the South "thoughtful, lOv-
ing, noble, generous men, who know
what to leave unsaid as well as what
to say. remarks:
" 1t is palpablc that every Repub-
lean speaker III the South will be
iealousIy watched and listened to,
and that he cannot utter an impra-
dent remark, much less make an in
temperate harranguc, without Seri-
ousIy injuring the cause which he
means to commend. Suppose, for
example. the J. X. Hayward, recent
" arrested by General SchotieId i'll
Pinhonul. 4'' ,''hnrt the A}22yl IS, of
That city to keep quiet While Judge
Underwood was holding court there,
but that. when he should leave, they
might " hold high carnival" who can
doubt that said Hayward can be
more useful at some other business -
that Of helper to a blacksmith, for
inStance-thap at speech making!
We say nothing of his motives or
his mcaning-Wc only insist that, IT
his ideas are all right, he does not
know how to find the right words
wherewith TO express them. The
Southern blacks are mainly iGno-
rant-thcy have been reared under
the domination of the law of iOrce-
they have not been trained to rever-
cnce the rights Of property-thcir ex-
pcricnce does not accord with the
truth that the way to comfort and
competence lies through persistent
daily industry and fiugaIlty. To
tell such mcn-strOng only in muscle
and in numbcrS-that they had only
to wait till a Judge is out OF the way,
when they may " hold high carnival
and that the property around them
is rightfully theirs, and will be made
over to them after while-what is
this but to arrest productive labor
and cnthronc general anarchy"
