The Richmond E"gaifcr, perhaps as
bitterly and as uncomprouIisinyly Couicd-
crate as any paper in the whole country,
says:
I" The mission OF the democrats Of the So tn
| Is to unite "ith the democratic party of the
north, and to try to heat the republicans in The
| iaion. This can be done, if we are not en-
barrassea by such imprudcnt utteranccs as
| those of Mr.. Davis. And if Mr.. Davis persists
in bringing himself before the people and OK
pressing such sentiments, there is one course
| to pursue-and that will be pursued the
Southern people will disavow him and all snch
extremists, and act without them. There will
not hc It bakers dozen of them left from the
| Potomac to the Rio Grandc. 1t is too late in
| the day to talk about not accepting the stu
| n,ion'--and the very last man in the South to
! have avowcd that sentiment was EXPIRES idcnt
Davis"
The Mobile Rcgisfcr--truc and tried
to the hearts corc--lcclarcs its sentiments
| titus:
awe wan, to save the Union, VIC want to re-
| store republican liberty, We want to reduce
| the expenditures, we want to do away with the
military, we want to come back to the old era
| of honesty and brotherly love, and to do this
the democrats and liberal republicans must
unite. Let Ms all have sense aud discretion,
and decree that the dead past shall bury its
| dead
Says the Tallahassee, Florida, Gazette :
" We ere all democrats here and we love the
name of democracy Under the rule Of demo-
cratic presidents our taxes were light and our
| liberties were perfect. Now, negroes and
carpet-baggcrs are upon us as curse worse
than the locusts of Egypt. We appeal to our
democratic brethren in the North to stand by
Us and help us make one more fight for consti-
| tutional liberty. They may make q platform
and we will stand by it in Florida. Only give
US rest from robbers and thieves"
The Jackson, Mississippi, Clarion, ut.
tcrs this sensible bugle blast:
"Wc served under General Lee, we surren-
dcrcd at Appomattox Court House, we arc
| democrats, We believe in the platform adopted
by the Ohio democracy, and we will stand by
| them, shoulder to shoulder. General McCook
fought us 20 the end as brave man, but he
10, IL;
constitutional liberty, and by the grace of God
il shall be done. Oiio has selected him, and
Mississippi will stand by Ohio
The Charleston, South Carolina, EMg
no'ta, takes this sensible view of the mat
ters
"The war was great sword which cut and
slashcd according to the power that welded it.
Many things were decided, and the fate OF
slavery among the rest We would not put'thc
negroes back into their normal condition for
| all the gold in all the universe, but we do he.
seech the democracy of the North to help us
against the carpst-baggers and the military.
They are making us paupers and beggars.
Ohio voice has been heard here, anu we will
stand as a rock by the democracy of Ohio"
The Raleigh, North Carolina, STANDARD
speaks as follows:
"Now that we have got rid of Holden, and
now that we have got our head once more
above water, we cad survey the political field
and criticisc where cicism will do good. North
Carolina halls with delight this new move OF
tn, Ohio democracy. 1t is time TO make q
grand fight for constitutional liberty, and in
order TO DO so the South must recall some OF
its old prcscicncc and discretion. We mean to
support the amendments in this state, and we
mean to give the democratic nominee for Pres
ident at least forty thousand majority
The Memphis Aralanchc says:
| "This new dcdarturc,' rs it is flshionably
called, is no new departure, because it is COM
mon sense, and the democratic party is the
party of common sense. We in the South
want to &c. little breathing spell to build our
houses, and plant our crops, and work our
fields, and pay our taxes, without having II
regular army OF soldiers and guerrilla army
| of carpct-baggerG. We ask the democracy of
the North and the liberal republicans to give
us chance. We are for the Union and the
amendments. We have appealed to the sword
and we are willing to abide by the decision of
the sword. Only let every democrat in the
land work for lighter taxes and for a return of
the constitution"
The Little Rock, Arkansas, Gazette has
the following:
"Four years of Clayton would make a noun
trim ont of mole-hill. We are all old Demo-
Gratis in Arkansas, and we stretch handsto Ohio.
We accept the situation, and we ask to be de-
livcrcd from the carpct-baggers and the militia
ry. We cannot work our fields, we cannot
raise cotton, we cannot pay our taxes, and yet
we are denounced as Ku-Klux. and prescribed
rs disloyalists. Just let Ohia stand by Arkan-
sas and all will be we'll. Nothing can save US
except the constitution of our country, nd we
appeal to the Democrats and the liberal Repub
licans of the North to help us in our ex:rem-
| ity."
Says the Lone Star, Texas, Gazette:
"with but Ave exceptions, az far as We have
seen or heard Of, every single newspaper in
Texas endorses this platform. All we ask here
is return to the constitution and to democra-
CIV. We are for Ohio, frs. last and al the
