Another newspaper, noting the report Of
. United States grand jury, says:
The lesson We draw for our benefit from
this report and action Of this packed jury is
that there is quite margin for 'intimida-
tom between us and the boundaries OF the
law, and We can govern ourselves accord
iDs &h"+ a.,... man III, IL. ,...t nride Of
character would accept farm ~ q gift in
community which would tolerate such an
invitation to mobs and election bulliess
Another newspaper gives . hint a. to the
proper disposition of men who come from
other States and think for themselves:
".Sitting Bull the chief of the Sioux
indiana, has q summary way OF dealing
with carpet-baggers and military satraps;
He recently put to death 200 odd of them"
OF . murderous affair where seven un-
armed prisoners we're turned loose and
then shot down in cold ble0d, the official
organ of Missfssippi says:
"No impartial person can read the reports
OF the affair without approving the conduct
OF the whites, and at the same time sympa-
hiziDg with them in the misfortune of hav-
pg been forced to such an extremity OF
teton IN self-defense."
Columns might be filed with similar
paragraphs, all inspired with the same in
q low estimate to put the number of these
lncendisry newspapers at 100 N the whole
South. Surprising that they have an average
circulation of 800 copies each. we have
$4,000 of these miserable incendiary pub
locations scattered broadcast every week to
teach violence and murder and to apologize
for every outrage where the victim is an
immigrant or q negro. IL it any wonder
that the South does not prosper more under
these blighting influences? Is it not rather
q proof of the wonderful vitality, patience
and hopeful spirit of the American people
that the South is as prosperous a. it isl
1t is NO explanation to say that the war
and it's expressions engendered this intOler-
ance, for it existed VIGOROUSLY before the
war, and the proof of this is found in the
fact that for many years previous neither
fine climate and soil nor cheap lands drew
immigration to the South.
It concerns the North that this great evil
shall be radically reformed. It concerns
the South more deeply and directly. She
can change the whole aspect OF the heav-
ems by the simple breath Of suffrage, at one
puff dissipating the malariOus vapors and
damps which now 0verhang her sky, and
letting in the sunshine OF universal tolera-
ton and free speech to gladden. and cheer
the jewellers of every hamlet and city Let
it shine in flood Of glory, 90 that the citi-
zen, unmolested and secure, can fill his
pipe of peace with the staple of Kentucky
and Virginia, and roam at his own sweet
will from the oyster bays of the Eastern
| Shore to the orange groves OF Florida. He
can do it in Maine, or Massachusetts, or ILL
nois. and why not q few miles further
south in his own country and under his
own hagi
The world moves, and the South must
move with it. The first step to build up
the South is to destroy the dangerous fac
| ton which thrives by violence and upholda
the organs of mob law. A Republican ad-
| ministrstion will teach them that malicious
persecution for opinions sake must stop at
once; that the American people are deter
mined that Germans, British, French, Irish,
| Scandinavians and Northern men shall
trade, work, vote and talk a. freely az they
please in every county of the South q free
