,rh;s Government has passed tue oas VI
c.at, consequence and independence. INC
central Government is too powerful III i''
physical force and in its vast patronage "
permit the revival of that day. The con-
ceo,ratcd power OF the nation VIII grow
steadily in strength and influence, ana
every day puts the old principles OF states
rights further away, and more ana more
completely, among things past and never
to return. -,
Then why are we to be involved with
MFR, DAVIS in his dreams? Why are we 10
be accused of sympathizing with his views
and coucurrinc in his vain dclusons! only
that Radicals may make out case against
the South, and thus find pretcxt Tor Inc
prolongation of their power and their mai
administration of the affairs OF this coun-
try.
The man is crazy who INDUCES the talntest
hone of the revival Of secession. The man
| who charges the South with such hope IS
l - LOO
much logical wisdom, in the southern pup
lie mind to allow any such delusion to pos
scss it. The Democratic party ut the North
| is practically against States rights and unan-
| imously against secession. The Govern
mcnt in its course naturally and philo-
sophically is gone beyond the day of State
independence, and the tendency to the CEN
tralization of the power of the Republic in
the Federal Government settles the qucs-
ton beyond pcradventure.
1t is therefore gross libel upon the good
sense and the purposes OF the southern
pcople to class them as followers Of Mr..
DAVIS. lie has parted from them and gone
his own way. They are not with him, and
cannot be Justly held at all responsible for
his errors of Judgment and errors of fact
We may not abuse him, but VIC cannot en-.
dorsc him.
What the South wants is peace and order.
This they cannot have by ycarning after
things unattainablc and making opposition
10 What is irresistible. The southern PEG.
pie will endeavor to do what the people OF
every section should try to do-i.c. to purify
the Government by elccting good and capa'
ble men to office. In this way they may
secure the honest administration OF public
affairs and equality among the States
equality in the distribution Of the bcncntS
of the Government and the freedom ana
protection OF the citizen everywhere. thus
is what is needed now for the general pros
perity and the promotion of the dignity and
power of the nation. We think we might
eagerly accept this as compromise. IL
will be Il great national blessing to have
this much. and we can hardly look forward
to anything better.
Dir. DAVIS is dreamer. Mr.. GREELEY Is
Il dreamer; but he has method enough IN
his madness to play 4 scllrvy trick upon the
South, for which he processes sympathy,
i'm making it the Scape-goat OF Mr.. DAVIS
errors-and that with the petty motive OF
gaining party advantage. This Is very
bad thing in Mr.. GREELEY very bad thing.
