paper in Mississippi is the intent of the
Democratic party. It is that sin the end
political unity will be enforced, and then
the political rights which had to be con-
trolled because dangerous will be de-
stroyed. That such is the programme Of
the Southern Democracy is believed by
the Republican party at the North and
West.
Is it, then, wise in the South to have
given excuse for this awakened power? The
consequences may be an enhanced sense
of sectionalism in the more powerful Sec
ton. We know very well the usual pro-
test against the abuse of giant strength,
but we would remind those who
stand charged with starving people out
of business, frowning them out of society
and excluding them by acts of violence
from the common rights of American cit
liens, that the Southern Democracy are
the giants at home, although obsequious
pigmies when protesting their allegiance
in the presence of those stronger than
themselves.
Whatever may be the opinion or testi-
mony Of the REPUBLICAN as to these pub
lished charges of dupGcity, cruelty and
prescription, has nothing to do with the
present inquiry. A powerful portion Of
the American people believe that the re-
newed agitation Of the sectional question
comes from the causes to which Senator
Morton refers, and If this portion Of the
American people choose to- make this
question an issue in the ensuing election
