The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1875-08-11
Senator Morton, Of Indiana.

.
MORTON is dog. he has no honor and no
humanity. He is only british. He set forth |
before the public 10 his speech at Urbanna,
Ohio. bis ground Of attack on the South
with an impudence Of Justification that enti'
ties him to the palm Of championship. i
He was once leading Democratic politi-
ciau, and as such espoused the Democratic
idea Of the Constitution along with State
rights. ALECE STEPHENS, we all know, now
maintains those views. and holds to it that
State rights are embslmed in the Constttu-
ton, and cannot be ignored. For defending
the Democratic doctrine MoRToN denounces
him as pestilent rebel, and Claiming that
STEPHENS is a representative man, denounces
southern leaders by the wholesale as "a
living and pestilent brood of rebeious dem
agogucs." He declsred that STEPHENS and
his colleagues claim that the States are
sovereign nations like England and France,
8 who have formed treaty which they call a
Constitution, creating an artificial coniede-
crate government, from which any OF the
"psrties to 1t may withdraw at pleasure"
SrRrHESs, who is not "thc representative
man of the South by any means, only a1'
tered the opinions formerly espoused oy
MORTON. who now makes lying statement
OF those opinions for the purpose Of arous-
ing in the North fresh hatreds towards the
South. MoRroN plays the part Of double viii
lain, and seeks TO triumph by reriving the sec
tional rapcors of bis country. He is the most
deliberately bitter and maliciously false OF all
the bloody Radical statesmen that have come
before the public for long time. -..
OF course, the omission of the negro in
such piece of political villainy as MOTIONS
would be like the play Of ''Hamlet" with
HAMLET left out Of ii; and MoRroN is too
mach OF an artist to be guilty OF any such
folv as that. SO We have the negro, like the
tail TO the kite, waited on the wings OF the
wind from MoRToN's lying vocitcrations.
He charges the South with desiring TO re-
epsiaye the negro ana determined to degrade
him, which, By the way, the South could not
do. And this is the "ticket the MORTON
",icket for the next campaign. For these
allegations, based on STEPHBSs's opln!ons,
lyingly represented by MoRToN, ard for these
MORTON allegations Of intentions towards the
negro, why the South is to De cruSadcd
arainst anew, and the corrupt Radicals who
have held power through sectional preJu'
dces and the cherished rancors OF var are TO
be r, CieYated to power to rule over and dis
tract the land.
Monros Is indeed dog but he has had
his day. He could not forget his nature, and
;oas como into the arena from which the storms
of war have been dispelcd and in which Sc
renity has succeeded to hate and phrenZy,
thinking that his malice and partisan caillln'
MES NAV find response III the bo>omS OF his
countrymen. He will be undecelVed
in GOOD time. and fad that III trying
10 save the Republican party by iorlorh
hope he himself has persisted ana
lost all. We thank God that We believe That
MoRros's maIignity cannot find sympathy
amongst the people. We arc happy IN SO
believing. If we could consider MoRToS at
this pariod, so long after the war, ! fair re-
preventative of the northern people, or even
respectable part of them, we should feel
that this Union vas built upon sand and held
together by rope of sand. Indeed, peo'
pl. - alien to one another as that would ar
cue the North audible South to he could not
be held together by any republican system,
Lut would soon fall under arbitrary power.
Perhaps We should rejoice that MoHToS,
monster that he is, should come forth to eX-
cite popular horror q tire denominations OF
ultra Radicali>m. In this way we rather think
h. will do the country some good.
