tons due weight VIII be accorded to the public
sentiment ana reasonable expectation of that
section, which in the past has been 50 steadlast
and so powerful an ally OF the party. TO us of the
south the action OF the National Democracy must
either bring Joy and confidence and assurance of
speedy relief from the worst of our
troubles or else proonE Indefinitely the reign
Of anxious doubt and Migrant misg0verninent If
there he any portion of the democracy who have Il
right to object to Mr. Greeley lifelong antagon-
st OF their cherished political views 1t is certainly
the white people of the Southern States If there
be any whom suffering and wrong and relentless
persecution have entitled to hearing when the
question of stalking their fate upon the doubtful for
tun es OF triangular contest s raised it Is this
people, and we but give expression to the upani-
nous sentiment in South Carolina. and as FAR as we
can Judge III the entire SOUTH when we urge and
entrcat our democratic friends throughout the
North to sink for moment all personal prejudice
and party pride, and give the death blow TO ma
tional corruption and sectional hate ny the prompt
generous and hearty endorsement Of the nomina-
tion OF honest Horace Greeley.
