i what has the South TO Expect from
the North :.
] For more than two years the South has
looked to the North for help. As the freaks
of the Radicals became more startling and
theoppression' of the ruling party became
less endurable, it was hoped and believed
that the North would see the ruin that, ap-
| peared to be imminent, and would take it
upon herself, to vindicate her own liberties
| as well as those Of the South. This hope
/ and belief have not been realized. The
| North is not ruined, there has been no up
| rising, the South attracts each day less and
| less Of general Northern attention. This is
! not 80 much on account Of lack Of sympa-
thy and good feeling as on account Of want
Of an urgent common interest. The North
does not feel the weight which presses upon
the mighty heart Of the South; she does not
see the Haunting banner and glittering bay
onet; she does not hear the clank Of chains

Years 10 come; q; Il a The Dem ooracy are resolved

INIT, to do this they must have a. smooth
track, and a course not too heavy forsthe
endurance and bottom Of their party. They
would adopt the shout Of ssWhite Man for
|ieyer-down with the African" if that would
give them the inside place and insure an
even start. But they know that the South
ern States are controlled by the Radicals,
that the Southern electoral vote win be cast
on the Republican side or not cast at all,
and the only question for them to deter
mine is whether cry which could not win
for them one Southern State would help
them to carry the States Of the West and
North. This they believe would not be the
case. The Northern Democrats may vote
down negro suffrage within their own bor-
,ders, they may declare that this country is
nothing if not the country of the white
man; but they viii not risk defeat, they will
not politically move their fingers, to give
back to the. South the freedom sne enjoyed
in the days before the war. ~.
The Northern Democrats want q live issue;
one which touches the capitalist as well as
the working man, the farmer in Wisconsin
as well as the manufacturer in Massachu-
setts. This issue they have found in the
absorbing subject of finance; theme upon
which the Radicals, can discourse with
golden eloquence, and over which the Dem
ocrats can throw the verdant shadow of
millennium Of paper money. 1t is broad
and open platform, upon which Radical and
Democrat can fight without fear OF favor,
but it is one upon which the Southerner, as
such, has no place. Incidentally it will be
discussed whether it is not practicable to
relieve the country of the vast expense of
Southern standing armies, and to enable the
South 10 hear az large share as possible
of the burdens Of the nation; but directly,
tbe South will have no more to do with the

existence
