vote It's ticket must stand under the
banner Of Semmes, Hampton, Toombs,
Vance, and Vallandigham. The figure
head is Seymour, but the helmsman is
Jefferson Davis
The HorM has been showed aside
from its position Of leadership. That
journal has not sufficient audacity of
opinion or courage of statement to
please the temper of the fre-eating
Southerners, who now, as of old, are
uppermost and controlling. The FmfH
either refrains from publishing the
speeches Of its Southern masters, or
else, ifit aludes to them at all, it so
ices their fire as to incur complaint Of
i'll treatment from their authors. Thus
The Danville Register, Of Kentucky,
murmers that the World misrepresents
Wade Hampton.
Hampton" says the Register, "de,
mands that the people Of the South
should all vote, whether recognized by
Congress as reconstructed through the
farce now going on, or not and that
he demanded further that, if by these
states so voting Seymour and Blair
shall receive a majority of the Vhite
votes, they shall be installed in power
in spite Of all the hayonets that shall
be brought against them"
The World dares not utter such SEN
timents in New York, for fear Of losing
the state next November.
Gov. Vance, OF North Carolina, said
at Richmond
"What the Confederacy fought for
would be won by the election of Sey-
mour and Blair"
The World has not the pluck to re-
peat these words, lest it should push
respe ctable Democrats into the Repub-
lican party.
Gov. Wise, in his latest speeci at
Richmond, Indignantly denounced the
first resolution Of the Democratic plat
form which characterizes secession as
dead, and insisted that secession was
more alive than ever" The World
lacks the nerve TO saysas brave thing
as that.
The Democratic journals of Louisville
mention that, at the ratification meeting
in that city, "portraits of jeff Davis,
Lee, and Stonewall Jackson were sus-
pended over the platform, and after
ward carried in a torchlight procession;
and that tie Ston'S and stripes lcere nolchere
to be secp." The World is too much Of
time-server to recommend such pro-
cecdings in New York
Semmes said in Mobile;
81 drew my sword against the old
fag-the old flag which no longer rep
resented the principles; it was not the
flag of l776 against which drew my
sword, but flag which had become "a
Haunting le, so called by the prom-
nent politicians of the North. But now,
in spite Of the efforts of those politi-
ticians. who endeavored to strangle
the old Democratic party, by erecting
| in its stead new Conservative party
"a sort of conglomerated party-whieh
was to compromise politicians Of every
shade of opinion, the grand old Dem
ocratc party has risen from the long
slumber in which it has indulged, and
now gives signs of new life and vitality;
aud have come here tonight from the
country to ratify and rejoice with you
in the nomination Of Seymour and
Blair"
The World is Of too lhin a blood to
maintain that the flag which conquered
the rebellion was mo- the ancient and
time. honored flag of the country.
Benz H. Hill, at Atlanta, proposed a
public burning of the reconstruction
acts, indulging himself in the following
strain:
'"When liberty shall return, when
the law shall be again respected, and
good men shall be again our rulers, we
must gather all the journals, and con-
stitutions, and enactments of every
character, of the conventions and as
semblies thus forced upon us by force,
and fraud, and usurpation, and, catch
ing fire from heaven, burn them up
forever! And right here my country
men, want you to understand that |
am a candidate but for one Office on
earth. TSeveral voices: "Name it, and
You shall have it. When the glorious
day shall come, and the free women,
and the free men, and the proud youth
of Georgia shall gather together to
fire the miserable, hideous record of
infamy, let the office be mine to kndle
the flames, Tremendous cheering,
lasting severelmnutes. r
The WorM knows that, if it were to
| print half a dozen editorials in this vein,
it might as well give up New York
State withouta struggle.
Here then is one OF the striking signs
of the times the Democratic leaders
are going forward so fast that the World
cannot keep pace with them the Dem
ocratic policy is becoming so revolution
ary that the the World trembles at com
hitting Itself to it; and the Democratic
orators are SO fiery that the World can
not afford to. print their speech $ =
What is the consequence? The WorId
pouts, sucks its thumb, and goes sullen-
" to the foot of the class while Brick
Pomeroy marches to the head of the
Democratic press of the country.
