check, tho majority is not with
drawn from these mon who have
been been the most deeply comprom-
iscd by their conduct before the
world and it has not placed in those
who appear to be the most strenuous
and efficient gentlemen in the policy
OF reform. I hnvo nothing TO say
i'll deroSation of Mr.. Hayes. hut it
seems to mo Mt least very siguiur that
i'll fearful crisis like this, person
should have been selected who has
thus far no record on this subject
and TINT not ono individual who had
really committed himself by his pre-
vious course to the policy of. reform
should have been seriously supported
Tho meagre vote given Bristow in the
Convention appears TO have embraced
all the enthusiasm and sincerity
working for that one great object. On
the other hand the action of the Con-
vention at st. Louis shows n wholly
different spirit. Not satisfied with
making much tho strongest dcclarn-
ton of principles on which they pro-
posed TO proceed, they went on di-
rectiy to nominate, by n large ma-
Iority, n man, who, by his energy
and vigorous prosecution Of diff
ficult and dangerous task OF reform
i'll his own State. had given the
strongest pledge to the country, not
simply cf his will, bnt of his power
to meet emergencies of all sorts. No
wonder that all the fcrocity of the
wolves, who feed upon the ofFll of
the public crib, should bo vented
on him. Their passion only goes to
prove the justice of their virulencc
which should be in tho mind of calm
observance, the most convincing
proof Of the wisdom of This choice.
Mr.. Tildcn is not callad upon to
promise what he will do in certain
emergencies. What he has done is IL
better pledge than all epithcts in the
dictionary. Another strong reason,
III my friend, for preferrinG Mr.
Tilden, in this emergency, is that n
new and clear policy towards the
Southern States may he inaugurated.
free from all the obstacles hitherto
raised by tho class of public men
OF tho South, WHO 1.-Two by ingratiat-
ing themselves with every element
remaining among us, of the evil
passions OF tho races during tho war.
So long rs this course is tolerated
there will he no real harmony be-
tween the sections. This is n fnvora-
bic moment for stamping this spirit
OF maii9nity under our feet by sele-
cling man whose well known fair
ness and impnrtiality may rcinstate
mutual confidence, and ultimately
restore unity TO tho whole people.
We much need this in tho present
low condition of our pccnniary af-
fairs. We need it more to fortify
the Tiows OF our position by foreign
nations, i'll short The time has come
Tor the Inauguration Of u wholly new
and vigorous policy, by n thorough
competent and experienced man.
That mnn I hope and believe will be
found in Samuel j. Tilden. 1 re-
main very truly yours.
