THOMPSON thinks the hacltncycd phlase,

An ahominahc one, because 1t would amply
direct hostility 10 the Government. AL
though the new amendments to the
Constitution Were put III by fraud ana
violence, they are nevertheless there,
and cannot be gotten out. and therefore
the southern people are willing to approve
in practice what they would oppose in
theory. Mr. 7. is opposed 10 the southern
peoples having anything 10 do with the
politics Of the country. He thinks they
ought to have learned from the sad expert
cncc OF the past that the more prominent
the part they take in politics the more
they injurc themselves. The northern
rui,lic to this day look with dlstrust upon
cycrvlhu. that southern people say or do.
The framing OF the platform and The choice
Of candidate should he lett entirely to the
northern Democracy and he would even
oppose the sending OF delegates TO the Ma
