THE PARTY OF HATE.

Aweek Of two since -we GhArged the
Radical party az having for lis one i'm
polling motive nothing but a most un-
ehristiaaiike. unworthy and Simpolitic
hatred q the South and its people. We
said this comprised the Radical stock in
trade. We believed this when We made
the charge, still believe it, and can bring
incontestable proof that it is really the
case. The Review in its Wednesdays
issue says: - y
The organs of the so-called Liberal and
Democratic, or Democratic and Liberal,
or the What-Is-It Party. are eternally
harping on the string that the regular
Republican organization is a party of
hate toward the South, the ex Confeder-
ate soldiers, and everything else OF that
unfortunate section Of the Republic.
Practically, nothing could be further
from the fact. Here in Phoebe, where
worthy opportunity is afforded We have
the proof of our assertion q. EfT 81
The Review then publishes some cor
respondence relative to the decoration Of
the graves of the Federal and Confeder-
ate dead. that took place last May, be-
tween some members of the organization
known as the Grand Army of the R pub
lie and some gentlemen who were
soldiers in the Confederate army. We
are glad to see some members of the
Radical party indulge in AN unaccus-
toned fit of generosity, even though it
be transient, But what has all this to
do with proving or ncgativing the asser-
ton that the Radicals carefully keep
alive feelings of sectional hatred, coupled
with the ferocious desire to infict re-
vengeful torture, that distinguishes that
party? Do you want proof? Turn to
the pages of every Radical newspaper
| published in the Country; listen to their
speakers and hear The torrents Of abuse,
the ribald epithets, the entire absence OF
any feelings of generosity and humanity
that all mankind are supposed to pos,
sess. 2 II this is not enough, turn from
words to deeds. Go to Arkansas, Texas,
Mississippi Louisiana, -Floifla! or to
South Carolina. See what the Party
Of Hate - is doing there, and hear what
it has done all through the South. In
those States you will find the people be
ing plundered and oppressed in every
Imaginable form that Satanic maligni-
ty can devise. This is not a windy
generality, but an assertion, not only ca.
pable of immediate and positive proof,
but it has been repeatedly proved by
witnesses who would not allow their po-
litical predictions to distort the truth.
From the South wall of anguish and
despair has gone up for years. How has
that been answered? BY increased tyr,
amy and plumber; by declaring martha
law without any necessity or provoca
ton; by suspending the writ of habea'
corpus; by breaking up church meetings
with soldiers by arresting and sending
mere boys to the penitentiary for {
tritling youthful prank; by the imposi
ton of exorbitant taxes viii h the PEG
pie cannot pay; by selling their propert,
to pay taxes and fines. These are few
of the blessings showered on the Soutt
by thes" ma 9nanimous Radicals. E
Knowing all these facts, what feelings
of disgust and indignation must arise il
the mind of every lover of justice wher
papers like the Review, and the rest o
that tribe that have filled their column,
with abuse of the South, begin to can
about the friendship of the Radicals TO
the people they have so long and gricv
ously injured. .s .s.a -. -rI ..5 .
| If their treatment of the South is
i, specimen Of their friendship, we woul,
much sooner have their hate. the in
\ diligence in which has been, is now, ant
I'VE believe ever will be the distinguishin,
bark of their party organization.
