the democrats of the North have no mort

tween a modern Northern democrat, with
the new departure she'll on his back,
and Northern republican, is the differ

and tweedledee.
Therefore we hold that it is the duty
of the South to stand firm by the faith
of their fathers, adhere immovably to
the principle of republican government
and constitutional liberty, and say moth.

1.-The Bourbons and impracticables
are not confined to the South. There
are some at the North and they are ex.
tremely bilious. Time fails to molify
their rage. They get madden every day.
There are some in Ohio, some in Penn
sylvania, some in New York. The ST.
moppure Copperhead democracy of the
North will prove the most incorrigible,
hard-headed and embittered enemies of
liberal and progressiveprinciples These
men, some of whom, we are afraid are
endeavoring to speculate on the supposed |
rebellious spirit Of the South, will exert
whatever influence they possess as mar
plots, and will fight the proposed New
Departure to the bitter end. They,
perhaps, have notion that their Bour-
bonism can be made to pay, but the
Southern people should be prompt in
teaching them that they cannot wiring

of the government, and is hurrying it,
with all the national interests of the
country, to perditiou."

At our National Convention held in
1868, it was resolved, in substance, that
the so-called reconstruction acts-includ-

constitution-are unconstitutional usur-

therefore null and void We ask if those
measures are any less dangerous, or any
more beneficial or lawful now than they
were IN 1868. If not, why support them?
We don't believe in the democracy of
the country doing any such unwise thing,
