BRICK PoMERoY ON THE SITUATION
From a late number of the La Crosse De-
mocrat we extract the following:
The true Democrats Of the North spit
upon the infamous demand of Congress
they loathe the party in partial power and
will curse from hearts terribly in earnest
whoever now talters in the battle, or bows
the neck to the yoke. Once on it will,
only be removed after years of slavery
OF suffering, OF robbery and OF blood.
We are in earnest. There are of ns in
the North who demand equality of States;
equal taxation and domestic tranquility
There are two million Democrats in the !,
North who will never bow the neck. to
Abolition bondage and centralized des-
potsm. There are Of us in the North
whose veins are fnll OF blood; whose :
hearts never knew fear whose faith is in
Democracy, whose hope is in the people.
| We demand, that now the war is over and
the Union restored, the people of eve,v
State shall have a fair voice in affairs. II
the South wants to preserve her honor,
wants her voice in the next Presidential
campaign, she shall have it and that as
she now stands, without adopting any So

The State Suicide Policy.

The New York Journal eff Commerce
is showing UP the a6surdity of the State
Snicide Policy. 1t says:
1t Geoegia is State for any purpose,
she is a State TO: all purposes. If there be
any such State as Georgia, it there bo
anything except colored line on paper
maps which divides Georgia from AIaba-
ma, if the people living in Augusta have
any other legal position than the people
living in Mobile, it results from the. fact
that Georgia is State and different
State from Alabama. And if that differ
ence exists at all, it exists to the fullest
extent, forbidding entirely the possibility
OF regulating the government except on
principles consistent with the Constitution,
of the United States. For there is nc
halfway point IN this doctrine. 1t the
power claimed for Congress exists at all
then it is ample for the purpose of re.
modelling the whole geography OF the
South. 1t is as competent to make one
territorial government for all the South
or for any two States or for any parts o.
States as to create it for any piece I.
ground formerly known as State. Ell
ther they are States Or they are wilder
ness OF territory. 9s rs . ~va5 NJ w.
