Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1874-09-12

There has been something too |
much" Of the talk about tho fidelity
Of the blacks during the war It's
mistake to suppose that they had any
very great opportunities to wreak
their vengeance on the whites while
it was progressing. All the cities and
towns Of the South were military
posts. and struggling or furloughed
soldiers were constantly passing to
aud fro even in the most ont Of the
way neighborhoods. We know Of no.
thing that was more hard TO find du-
ring the war, than a house that had
not been visited by soldiers.
Even men like .ex-President Davis
help to give currency to the deIusiye
idea that the white people Of the Mis-
sissippi valley are almost wholly de-
pendent upon the blacks, and that
without them this great alIuviaI re-
gion could not be cultivated. The
cotton crop Of the United States Is
now mainly made by white labor and
the Mississippi valley from the Gulf
to the Lake Of the Woods viii eycHtu-
ally be the home of hundreds Of mil
lions Of white men, who wiz perform
all the labor and make it the most
productive and prosperous portion Of
the earth.

kept at hand in every family.
