The Political Situation.

The following is an extract from letter writ
ten by an able and accomplished Southern
Journalist as an expression of the views of those
form an enlightened judgment as to the require
ments of the political situation. Mr.. Washing
ton is widely known as an ablejournalist and as
an astute observer of political developments. =
His views challenge great respect because of
his unfinching devotion to the interests of the
Southern people. For five years past, at the
sacrifice of his personal interests and convent
ence, he has labored with unceasing vigilance
and activity at the national capital for the pro-
motion of the deliverance Of the South:
WASHINGTON, d. G. May 10th, 1872.

themselves the Democracy are powerless; know
ing that we have asked Liberal Republicans to
come out and make a stand against corruption
and tyranny. They have done SO and have
burned their bridges. Now it is our interest to
stand by them and to make this alliance which
will secure the Presidency, House and Senate,
and give us large governing majority IN the
country. If we do this we shall get rid Of Grant
and have better day for our unfortunate peo-

view only-the lifting up Of the South is all
care about, and to that will sacrifice every
thing.
Il hear another plan proposed-namely. Te
nominate 'straight-out ticket and slip in
our man. Such victory is doubtful at best
and if won would turn to dust and ashes. The
path of honor is to stand by the Liberals who
have done what we asked them TO do, and de-
clared against military despotism and in this
case the paths of interest and honor fully coin
eide.
If the northern Democrats put up sepa
rate ticket they may go to ruin their own way
1t is high time we had left thei
leading-strngs and begun to think and act fol
ourselves. [ think we have too much at stake
to say that we will allow their thimble-riggins
politicians to shape our destinies at Baltimore
At the same time, all the indications are tina
the Convention will ratify and recommend The
Greeley and Brown ticket. x There
is no other hope for the South. Il IS oar onl

Even the Georgia papers, in spite of Mr..
Stephens influence, are coming up to the
support of Greeley. The Augusta Constitu-
tionolst leads the way. 1t wants no third nom
inee. And here is the voice Of Alabama as it
comes through the Selma Times:
1--WE are confident that we represent the
large majority of the people of the South, when
we protest against the running Of candidates

few, men who are unwilling to vote the ticket.

PREJUDGED BY THE PEOPLE. The Chicago
Tribune says that the success Of the Cincinnati
ticket in no way depends upon any action that
may be taken by the Baltimore Convention, or
the Philadelphia Convention. | thinks the
masses of the people have determined for them
selves that they will support that ticket ire
spective of any action of conventions. 1t says
''As was the case in 1928, when the people
took the election of President out of the hands
of the nominating bodies, and elected General
Jackson, so the people in 1872 propose to treat

We are not surprised to learn that in Mis-
souri,, which. like Virginia, overthrow the Rad
ical party by union of all the moderate ele-
ments, the Conservatives are, almost to man,
in favor Of Greeley and Brown. The st. Louis
Republican, Dem ocratic paper, says that:
''Three- fourth of the Democratic journals In
the State hoist the Cincinnati ticket at the head
of their columns, and the others speak plainly
in favor of it, adding: The explanation of
this remarkable unanimity Of sentiment is the
confident belief that the policy which overthrow
Randicalism so deeisively in Missouri two years
age, is the true policy to overthrow RadicaIism
in all the States in the approaching contest
What has been done, on smaller scale, in
the two States thus rescued from Radical domi-
nation, may be done upon larger, to deliver
the country from the rule of the most lawless,
tyrannical, and corrupt faction that ever secur-
ed ascendancy in our Federal Union.-Lynch.
