Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 186?-1872, 1871-02-25

Southern cause and character, and
that its only chance for q verdict
guilty Of treason1 against the South,
was in a proNpt return, at the close
of the war, TO the letter and spirit OF
the Constitution. Such n urse
would have savored OF u conscicn-
tious discharge of duty, but a course
SO opposite to this cannot fail, ulti-
mately, to fix, upon the North, the
guilt Of a wautonly aggressive war
upon the South, with a view to the
destruction of free government, and
the erection of q centralized despot-
ism upon It's ruins. Effect does not
more certainly follow cause than this
conviction will, the lawiess and or
rupt course of the Radical party since
nomina! peace was proclaimed.
To treat States Rights, either theo-
leiically or practically, rs n dead Is.
sue, is to surrender the last strong
hold Of popular government on this
continent, and virtually to accept II
monied despotic ar~istocracy as the
future government Of the country
The Democratic party is not yet
prepared for such a surrender, the
effect ofwhich would be to prolong,in IN
definitely, Radical rule, with all its
desolating influences over the rights,
liberties and prosperity of forty mill
ions of people.
