Another letter from Hon. B. II. Hill.

The New York Herald publishes another let
ter from Hon. B. FL. Hill, of Georgia, on the
political situation, from which We make the
following extract:
How long will it take to improve the temper
of the Southern people by continuing that policy
which alone has disturbed that temper since
the surrender, and which every day keeps their
persons, their property and their families in
danger of pillage, rape and burning?
Of what value is it to the North to force up
on the South governments which will enable
deluded negroes to select for South Carolina
and Georgia Governors and Representatives
from Vermont and Massachusetts,
You say Gen. Grant will be elected. Posi-
bly, so. | cannot fix a limit to fanatical in
fatuation. If he shall be elected and shall ad
minister the constitution according to his oath
he will have no more cordial supporters than
the Southern people IF he shall administer
the Chicago platform, as he stands pledged
contrary to his, oath, he may find submissive
Subjects but no honest supporters at the South
and no free constituency In America.
The South asks nothing but what the North
promises-equality under the same constitution.
Georgia asks no power to make constitution
for her internal affairs, or to change that con.
stituton viii h is not conceded to aud exercised
by Illinois Will President chosen from Illinois
concede that claim according to the constitution,
or will he deny it according to the Chicago
platform?
With pledge TO carry out the platform,
without even an allusion to the constitution
either in the platform or the pledge, will the
people of America risk the rights and the fiee-
dom of every man merely to confer an empty
honor on one man, however great?

result in considerable majorities in Pennsylvania

The Radicals, says the Charlottesville Chron-
scle, exempt the rich people of New England
from their share in the burdens of taxation, and
destroy the ability of the South to pay their
former proportion by unjust legislation. They
keep up the army and the Freedman Bureau,
at the South, so as to make that section a
source of expense when it would, under more
favorable circumstances, be fruitful source OF
income. The country wants peace and an
economical administration, and unless its gets
these, financial crash must follow, which will

There is an evident necessity for change
If Seymour is elected we know that we will
have it; if Grant is elected, we have no reason
to suppose that affairs will not run on in their
old channel, and if they do, bankruptcy and
ruin must follow. We believe that the people
of the North see these things and will act on
them, unless the Radicals succeed in binding
their eyes to the facts of the case, by exciting
Juror against the South, which they are now
using every effort to do Their papers are
filled with false statements of Southern outrages,
to draw off attention from their own extrava
gance and fraud The Democrats should be
untiring in their efforts to expose the falseness
of the one and the extent of the other.
