m'es. ANA now, their reconstruction
policy--is simply to drive the white
race out of the South by putting it IN.
der the negroes, or to disarm it of all
spirit or power, hv mongrcllzing and
debasing It, It is a policy of bar5arism
against clvllzation,--o cruelty against
humanity, of the direst and most
implacable hate, towards great and
!rec people, whose only offence has con-
sisted IN their fidelity to the compact
between the Sta,ei and stern res,s-
lance to tho perfdious drspolism the
Radicals would impose npon them. Can
this policy succeed? Noverl but by
the betrayal Of tho people Of the South
OF their own high deslilnes. If they
stand together-.as the people of Hol-
land did Tor ninety years.--as the peo.
pie of Switzerland did for hundred and
fifty years, their redemption is certain
certain with a far less protraclpd con.
test, and a higher destiny and glory, In
the spirit Of the people Of the South,
rests the last hope Of free government
on the Amcritan continent IF any
compromise with the internal policy put
over them for their degradation and
rum. they will destroy themselves -
Standing up united aud apart, they are
pnconquerable. Without their aid no
civil government can DO carried on in
the South. Military governments in some
OF them may be necessities. Let them
stand at hat if it comes to that; and
bdc their Lime. 1t will como; and a
free white race--,hc only race now
capable Of free government Oh this con.
'inent, ~ will rule their destinies under
the grand principles Of liberty bequeath
ed to thcm 10y their ancestors.
