The Mobile Tribune, in the same spirit, puts
forth its "platform," as follows:
political equality for two Of is equivalent

We might quote from a hundred other
Southern journals to the same effect; but the
above will suffice to show the spirit and aims
which the Southern delegates will bring into
the Democratic National Convention. The
War has taught them nothing, and they recOg-
nze nothing as changed by its result, save that
the Blacks have ceased to be "chattcls per
sonal," and become collectively serfs and vas
sails to the White race, which comedies them
no other rights than those of peculiar breed
of working cattle.
And this is "thc Chivalry" which now
ms hitherto, dictates terms TO Democratic
Conventions Happily, it does not prescribe
conditions to, but has been glad to accept them
from, Ulysses s. GRANT.
