Tho Bannor of tho South saws

no Dahhcr OF tho South says:
We tell our people all over the
South that thcy cannot Of them
selves do anything to satisfy the
demands Of the party in power
The passage Of tho Fifteenth
Amendment, tho elevation Of Nc
groes to Offices Of honor and profit,
tho most abicct submission to tho
decrccs Of Congress will not save
them. That party is determined
that every Southern State shall be
Radical to the full; they shall cast
no moro Democratic votes and if
We have done all and more than is
required Of us yet, and should then
give Democratic maioritics at our
elections, there would be no end
TO "BIlls to promotc Rcconstruc.
ton" in the South. Those Sou
thcrncrs, therefore, who think the
Press says too much, those who
think VIC ought to compromise
away our liberties for the sake Of
immunity from Congrcssionallcgis-
lation, and those who think We
ought TO submit to- ovcry thing re-
Quircd Of us now, so as to avoid
harshcr measures, arc putting
themselves to deal Of useless
trouble. Reconstruction means
nothing moro nor less than COM
pclling these States to vote The
Radical ticket forever. That is
the plain truth, and anything done
outside of that is nccdIcssly and
foolishly done. All, therefore,
that we ought to do is TO resist
this policy whenever and whcrc-
ever VIC can. Lct The enemy sec
that our honor is dearcr to rs than
their peace, or their degraded flag,
or their dcspiscd Government.
Let them sec that if they mako
slaves of us wo shall not fnston
Tho chains upon our own limbs !;
md so put thcm to tho trouble of
continual legislation, and con ntinual
defeat OF thoir own vilc schemes
and plots.
Tho Lancaster Ledger says:
Our able cotcmporary Of tho
Fairfield Herald advocates more
liberal policy and less prejudice in
political aflairs--cspccialIy in our
own State. IIe thinks the white
people Of tho State should siczc
the weapons manufactured by the
bitter cndcrs in Congress and turn
them to advantage. There is
much sense in tho arguments Of
the UcrGtd, and we arc free to adj
nit that we agree in somo partic
ulars, and have no objection to
tho experiment being mado. If
The State is to bo wrcstod from
the hands Of It's present unworthy
guardians, now and complete
systom of plans must shortly bo
inauguratod. The policy Of "stand
aIoof,' "lot them work ont their
own destruction" may, and in our
Judgment will, lead to our oUu.

And wind blown curls to cover.
