ANOTHER CIVIL WAR.

pressed wi!l'of the whole people or plunge
the country into the civil war from which
it has just emerged. Such is undoubtedly
the purpose Of the Democratic leaders Of
| the South. It is the only solution of the
intolerance and violence with which they
have governed their own localities ever
since the capitulation.
). The conservative people Q: tie South
wish peace and progress. They wish an
accession Of capital and enterprise: They
have been persuaded to unite with the
Democracy in an avowed purpose to .e.
duce the burdens and reform the abuses
Of the Southern governments. This has
been effected in almost all the Southern
States; and in this State the most extra.
ordinary arrest and reduction Of the pub.
lie debt has been effected by Repub.
lican administration Of State government,
.while.a Democratic administration of the
city government has thus far achieved
nothing in the same direction. i
The Democratic party, whose. real 'pur.
pose is the renewal Of sectional discord,
aud.the,overthrow Of form of popular
government to inaugurate compact be-
tween the States; accepted the aid of |
the conservative interest. It began with
Greeley and Blair, and united with Sheri-
dan aud Carter, as with all the property
and industrial interests: Fusion was the
pretence; reform the watchword, bu.
hostility to the form Of government was
the motive. The smbers of Democracy
were kept Under the ashes of conserya- /
ism. Il is now hot enough and strong
enough to start the confagratior. De-
uocracy now avoys its real purpose, in
he orders issued to the head of the
,olumn, and to shoot the Fusion de.

There is time for the substantial in.
