WHY PEOPLE GO WEST.

T. AT the close of the war it was fondly
hoped by the people of the South that the
tide of immigration would set in that di-
%rection and that slavery having been abol-
ished the free laborer of the North and
the emigrant from foreign shores would
be attracted by the milder ATTITUDES of
the Southern States, and would seek
homes there. For q time we had reason
to hope that such would be the case. So
cieties were organized in most of the
Southern States for the purpose of induc-
ing immigration and some money was
spent in employing agents 10 travel in the
Northern cities to set forth the advan-
tages offered in the South, and to explain
their superiority overtLose of the West
For a short time these influences seemed
to have their affect. Many people came
South and were delighted with the eli
mate, as every one must be who has any
regard for personal comfort. But it has
i'm a great measure ceased. Perhaps one
hundred people go West now to one
South. Why is this? Our climate is
superior. There is plenty of good land to
be had at reasonable rates. We are near
ly thousand miles nearer an Eastern
market. We have plenty of minerals ;
plenty of natural resources and all that,
but no one comes to develOpe them.-
Why? Before the war we were cursed
with a landed aristocracy that effectually
closed the door to immigration. But all
that has been done away with and people
are anxious to dispose of their LAND.
The reason to us is obvious, although to
others who only look upon n side of the
question it seems to be anything but
plain.
In the first place point out a Southern
State that can boast of a well established
Free School system. Then point to a
ID Western State, however young. that has
not. Here is one item sufficient i'll itself
to keep back immigration to the South
for all time to come. Then again look
upon the outrages that have been commit
ted ON Northern men and Southern Loyal
lists white and black. There has no
doubt been some exageration in the ac-
counts given of some of these o~utrages.-
But take the simple statements of Demo
cratic newspapers alone, carefully smooth
ed over as they are. and let any candid
man, republican or democrat. answer if it
is not enough to discourage any class OF
intelligent home seekers from settling
among us.
These. are questions that all parties IN
the South would do well to ponder ,care-

Schools. freedom of speech and protection

poMERoY,s PREDICTION

The Democrat of the 10th feels
the Shadows of the Empire" Al
ready, it says, "the city Of New
York has felt the chill of that dread
presence, and seen the glitter Of
bayonets in its streets upon the day
of election. The people here were
threatened with the military force of
the Government, and loaded guns
on board iron-clads we're ready to
pour their volleys into our midst at
the signal of some ruffian hired to
make the sign. 1t is not necessary
to repeat the history of that day of
gloom and dread, bat we recall it in
connection with the New Orleans
outrage to show how the rulers of
the nation are using every attribute
of power with which they have been
invested by a venal and servile Con-
gress. The appearance of soldiers
armed at the doors of the court
house in New Orleans was effective
in suppressing the action of the OPP
ponents of the President, and if such
outrage can be done upon and borne
by the Republicans themselves, what
is the Democratic party to expect
when the day comes for them to vote
for another President Let the peo-
pie takc il for granted Hatno free eiec-
ton is to be tolerated IN 1872. That
matter Is settled. The States may
roll up whatever majorities they
please in behalf Of the Democratic
party, but the moro emphatic their
returns, the more stringent and vio-
lent will be the use of the military
when the final day of voting shall
arrive.
We predict for the country in '72
a terrible and successful revolution,
or an abject slavery. There is no
use in temporizing with facts, or in
seeking for moderate terms to ex-
press the present condition of public
affairs"

NEW DEPARTURE.

Mr.. Jacob Thompson, Of Confed-
crate fame and a Mississippi planter,
recently delivered his opinion of the
situation to a Herald interviewer
500 you approve of the Demo-
cratic departure, and do you think
that Southerners generally will ac-
quiesce in it ?"
81 do not disaprrove Of it, because
the leading features of the new de-
partu:e have become settled facts,
and it is useless to hang OH to the
dead issues on which we were de-
feated last time. The Southern
people will and do now acquiescc in
this new departure but they will
be ayerse to taking any prominent
part in either the formation of a plat
form or the nomination of candid
ate. They have learned by sad ex-
perience that they committed Sc
rieus blunder in the last President
ial campaign by the active part they
took in it. This time they will
rather follow exactly in the course
laid down by the Northern Democ-
racy. | even doubt the policy of
sending delegates from the South to
attend the National Democratic Con,
vention, as their presence might in
some way embarrass the Northern
wing of the party. But we are re-
solved in all things to be guided en-
tirely by whatever is determined on
by the Northern Democracy, keep
ing entirely aloof from the manage
ment OF direction Of the canvass, or
the construction Of the platform, or
nomination of the candidate. So far
as the amendments are concerned,
they were put in the Constitution by
fraud and by force, but they are
there, in form and undeniable in
fact. 1t would he foolish, injudic-
ious and impoIitie to stir up agitation
over these amendments and we do
not choose 70 get rid of them by
revolution. Therefore, while we Of
the South do not disapprovo of the
new departure, it is simply on the
ground that we cannot make Issue
on the Constitutions
EYou think, however, the mass OF
the Southern people do accept the
situation ?"
"That term, accept the situation,
is perhaps less understood than any
other hackneyed political phrase of
the day. 1t implies hostility to the
Government, which does not exist.
The Constitution and the laws we
are all, as good citizens, bound to
obey until the one is amended and
the others repealed. While we pro-
pose positively to accept all that has
been done, theoretically we are OPP
posed to these infringements upon
our rights"

DO you GO TO THE DEMOCRATS
OR THEY TO THE RADICALS
The Atlanta Era of the Goth has
the following. We will look with
some interest to see what the C0nSti-
tuition has to say on the subject;
THE CONSTITUTION MAKES THE
AMENDE.
We showed yesterday morning
how our neighbor, the Constitution,
did itself and the Era great injustice
the day before by publishing what
purported to be an entire editorial
article from this journal, when in
point of fact it published only gar
bled extracts from that artcle-thus
placing US in a false position.
In its issue of yesterday, the Con-
stitution makes the ameade by re-
producing the article entire, as it APP
peared in the Era. We, therefore,
take pleasure in setting our neighbor
right before the public on this mat
ter. The Constitution thus relieves
itself Of all presumptive intent to
misrepresent, just as we hoped and
believed that it would do. As a
fair and honorable Journal il could
not have done less We could not
ask it to do more
Since the Constitution has en-
braced the principles Of the New
Departure" land we still understand
that to be its position) there is no
longer any issue between US, either
as respects the settlement Of ques-
tons giowing out Of the war, or the
relative powers OF the State and Ma
tional Governments The XiVth
Amendment and the Laws of Con-
gress, settle the first named class of
issues the XVIII Amendment set
ties the last named class. The Con-
stitution accepts both and since we
are thus agreed as to principles and
policy, we most cordially welcome it
as a valuable accession to our ranks,
and desire that our relations may be
of that cordial nature which is pre-
sumed to ever exist between politi,
cal allies. We therefore most earn
estly advise all our friends 10 sub
scribe for and aid in supporting the
Constitution. 1t is an able ally, and
an excellent paper.

DEMOCRACY IN OHIO.

Gen. Thomas Ewing addressed
the masses at Columbus, Ohio, on
the 18th. He accepted the radical
Constitutional Amendmcnts--not as
having been rightfully adopted-not
without reservation TO move for
their amendment hereafter-but as
the existing law of the land. Tha;
will do, and he is no. far wrong in
his estimate of the dangers which
environ us and of Gen. Grants char
acter and purposes. He said on
these latter subjects
Il would like very much, fellow
citizens, to discuss the differences
between the two parties already de-
veloped as to the construction and
execution Of the amendments. And
especially to show how the Republi-
can party, by a fragrant miscon-
struction of the Constitution as it is,
has assumed to confer on General
Grant the power, whenever he
thinks the authorities of any State
fail to give any person or persons
equal protection of the laws, to sus.
pend the privilege Of the writ of
habeas corpus, stop the functions of
The civil government, and declare
and wage war on the people. This
extraordinary power is vested in
General Grant obviously to enable
him to re-elect himself and his par
ty next year, by controlling or
breaking up the elections in the
Southern States, with the Federal
army and the black militia. He
combines all the qualities to make
him fit instrument for such de-
signs. He is both ignorant and
careless Of the duties and obligations
of his high office; has probably
never read the Constitution, for it is
not published in the army regula-
tons or the stud books bold, I'M
scrupulous, ambitious, selfish, and as
cruel and cold as a bayonet. If he
don't use that law next year with
that purpose and effect, it will be
because the Northern people show
in the elections this year a return
ing sense Of the value of Constitu-
tional liberty, or because the Ku-
Klux and carpet-bagger combined
can't concoct sufficiently plausible
preteXts, or because Horace Gree
ley beats him for the Republican
nomination. Let us hope, for the
honor of the country, that all these
contingencies will happen

IS THERE ANY REAL DIFFER
ENCE9

1t is true, as the Atlanta Era
says, "that a mere name or former
political association, is never allow
ed to stand in the way of intelligent
men who act from principle" But
Just there is the rub. The man who
is willing to accept the whole series
of radical usurpations as fnalities, is
great simpleton if he has any
scruples in calling himself radical
or in allying himself frankly with
the radical party.
1t may be that the national dem
ocracy will so act; will refuse to at
tempt to restore desecrated Con-
8titution: will accept, as a fnatlty,
the precedent, that the party in
power may legislate at its discretion
regardless of Constitutional limita-
tiOns. If this should prove its line
Of policy, then, indeed, there will be
nothing left to divide us but name
and former political associations in
which event men may freely indulge
their personal predictions. No
longer restrained by political princi-
pie they will be left free TO choose
"under which King" they will risk
their fortunes for our heritage of
liberty will have been resolved to

or Pompey TO rule over you.
suppose, however, that the Con
stituiion is not ignored /; that radI-
cal usurpations are denounced, and
the hope is not destroyed, that the
injuries inflicted upon Our political
system will be redressed then there
will be a people who are not radicals

as freedom has voice in our un-
happy country to defeat the rovolu-
tionary aims radicalism seeks to ac-

POLITICAL STANDING.

The Lagrange Reporter does not
clearly see where we stand. OF
course there is no question as to our
urefereuces, but whether We are GO
inc to light for them and hO'o 7
If the national democratic Con-
vention is true to the Constitution
and its time-honored principles we
will rejoice and Ego" for its nominee
most earnestly. If it ignores the
Constitution and accepts accom-
plished usurpations as fnalities we
will mourn and go for it only be-
cause it will be composed of radicals
we like better than the others.
There is but one other ground to
stand on. Will the Reporter occu-
py it? If both parties occupy
similar positions with regard to rad
ical usurpations any one can see
that the contest between them will
be simply one for dominion and en-
pire. Now will the Reporter, Mr..
Stephens and others, form third
party and 60 for restoration of the
Constitution and republican gov
eminent If so, we would warn
them that such party would lead to
rebellion and civa Var against the de
fact0 government. Even these we
might risk if the end could possibly
be the restoration of liberty; but, a
little reflection will teach any one
that civil war leads to despotism-
the result we seek to avoid.
Let us take things as we find
them and enter not upon the road to
yiolence--hoping that time will re-
store our energies and relieve us OF
the worst evils which now environ
the situation.
