1T is a principle to which there has never
been any exception in history, that the land.
holders of a country will control its policy,
and by their influence or their power domi-
nate over the masses of the people.
When these land. holders are combined as
a class, or for the promotion of their common
interests, or he prevention Of common dan
ger.aheir control will be absolute and the
rights and interests of the masses will be
trampled under foot and it makes little diff
ference whether the masses are white or black
where the land is held in large quantities,
and their owners are united as q class by
common interests and sympathies.
Such was the condition OF things in the
South before the war such it was in the
middle ages; such it was in Russia before
the recent abolition OF serfdom. And little
as our readers may think such is likely to be
the state of things again, both in Russia and
tie South so soon as the ~coereive power Of
Government is withdrawn and the aristocra
cy of landowners are lett the unrestricted
sway of their own arbitrary will.
President JOHNSON was SO well aware OF
this principle that during the war he insisted
that the great landed estates Of the traitor
aristocracy should be confiscated by the Gov
eminent and broken up and parcelled on,
amongst the masses Of the people. Bot now
that the war is over and he has become Pres.
ident By the act of an assassin, possession Of
power has corrupted him, and he assumes
the craftsmanship of the rebel aris,ocracy, re.
stores their forfeited estates, protects them
from punishment, and exer;s the EXTREMIST
power and influence ofhis position to restore
their absolute domination in the South and
their former influence in the country.
