. THE OUTDOOR.

It is matter of history that the
intellect of the South dictated the
policy of the nation for many years,
1t may have been by reason of their
superior intelligence, but more, per-
haps, through united organization,
sustained by an imperious tone OF
obedience, originating in, and per-
meating through, the institution OF
slavery.
To carry out their principles, and
to retain the control of the affairs OF
the nation, they caused the loss of a
million of lives, and the saddling
upon the people of debt counting
thousands of millions. .5 i.
At the conclusion of the war,
when beaten at the lannon's mouth,
their homes desolated and land
scourged, though their true pride
was so Inundated that they would
accept assistance of every kind and
character-their false pride could
not see that man was entitled to
Justice if his skin was black, re-
NAMED as strong as ever. This
state of feeling being their guiding
star, they have delayed, sustained
bv determination not to assist i'll
restoring their portion of the coun-
try to peace and prosperity.
In the recent results of the cleo
tons, one is disposed to think that
the hour of the South has come.
The North foolishly, we think, has

placed upon you, we thus make a
full and ample apology. For you
see in Massachusetts, the old home
of your aggressive, mortal enemy,
Sumner, we elect Democratic gov
ernor; we send Banks, and others
willing and ready to serve you, IN
lieu of Butler, who did you more
good than harm, while serving you
in New Orleans. In place OF Dix,
who, as a patriot, condemned and
would have shot the wretch who
should have dared disgraced his
country's flag, we elect man strong
in the Tweed interest, and an in
trigger in all that has made Tam
many a power in the land"
We say in sorrow, the North
through its political decision, has
dishonored itself; has given the lie
to its often pronounced speech and
action, on the ground of patriotism
and surtaining the Union. The
graves of our honored dead, cry
aloud against this desertion of prin-
eiple, this miserable weakness, this
wretehed Jack of moral courage and
common honesty.

and Western reputation, assisted by
the rawlings of vindictive press,
have been the weapons through
which, this RI. revulsion has been
brought about. You Repub lieans,
who have assisted in bringing the
country to this disgraceful end, be-
cause of the retribution that is sure
to follow you, your hour of triumph
is short lived; make the most of it.
Now we say to you true Repub-
licans; stand by the party who saved
the nation; the party of progress and
intelligence; the party who at the
close of the war, saved the nation
from dissolution; has paid its debts
promptly; which has compelled JUS
tice to the former slave; which has
done all these in opposition to the
utmost efortSof the party apparent
ly soon to come into power. Do you
think such party can be crushed
cut by a souless evervescent, so
called reformatory mob?
The Almighty guides parties as
we'll as the storm, and will right
this transitory victory of the so
called Democratic party. W
