s.uthern Democratic Sentiment.

Stubborn Democratic Sentiment.
The following extracts from South
ern papers tell their own story.
Their plain meaning is death to the
Republicans and victory at the bal
lot-box by the aid of bullets and as
sassinatlon:
THE MISSISSIPPI UsURPASION TO BE
HELD CAT ALL HAZARDS"
Canton (Miss. mail.
Write it upon your banners, fling it to
the breeze, flaunt it in the face of the en-
envy, that we, the honest people of Miss
ssippi, having conquered a glorious vic
DRY at the ballotbox last November, are
determined to hold oar ranttge ground at
erery hazard.
DEFIANCE OF THE UNITED STATES SOLD
IERs.
Canton miss Mail
If the Governor makes no requisition,
and Grant sends the troops anyhow, will
not the people be justified before the law
IN resisting the Intervention Of the mill
tary IN time Of peace? Let the Constitu-
tional lawyers of the Republican party
"crack this nut"
Vicksburg Herald
Gov. Stone is the commander in Miss
issippi, and when troops are needed in
this State he or the Legislature will call
for them. Until such call is made the
troops commanded by Col. Brooke are
trespassers, and Gov. Stone will be justi-
fed in ordering him to attend to has own
affairs. If Gen Anger is anxious to do
something, let him send Brooke to the In
dian Territory. His presence i'll Mississ-
ippi is not needed, and should not be toll
Grated.
BULLETS HEAVIER THAN BALLOTS.
Lynchburg (va.) Star
The South Carolina negroes are getting
their backs up. They had better remem-
Der the fate of their brethren in Missss-
ippi. "An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure"
TIE SPIRIT OF THE LATE MISSISSIPPI
CAMPAIGN
Aberdeen Examiner July 30 1876.
God gave the victory to a people who
were contending for liberation from the
basest thraldom ever endured by civil
lized race, and who would have been
justified in swinging up their oppressors
as food .tor Juzzards to the boughs of our
forest trees.
THE PRICE OF TOLERATION AND PROTEC
TIoN-THE ONLY MEANS OF SAFETY.
Magnolia Miss Herald.
If the negroes of Pike County desire to
continue the amicabe relations now ex-
listing between them and the whites, to
have their rights respected, let them prove
it by organizing Democratic Clubs and
voting for Tilden and Hendricks.
A SUGGESTIVE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
TON MADE EASY.
On the 9Th of July last the United
States Grand Jury, sitting at Oxford,
Miss, made its report, stating, among
other things, that "the fraud, intim-
idation and violence perpetrated at
the last election is without parallel
in the annals of history" but also
pointing out some of the defects in
the National Election law, and their
failure to find indictments in conse-
quence. Reviewing this report the
Meridian (Miss.) Mercury is led to
say:
1.-The lesson We draw for our benefit
from this report and action of this packed
jury Is, that there is qlite margin for
Intimidation" 5et,cCen as and the bound
aries Of the lac, and ace can gorern our
selues aecordingly."
HOW THE CAMPAIGN OPENS IN MISSISSIPPI.
Canton Mail.
David jerks, Alfred Handy, and some
others might just as well make up their
minds to ground arms now as later in
in the campaign. They need not try to
carry this country against honest rule,
1t can't be done. They need not try to
excite the passions of the ignorant masses
against the more Intelligent. 1t shant be
done. We tell them so right now. Let
them weigh our words of counsel, and
be profited thereby.
Canton is in Madison County,
Miss, which gave Grant 2,4Oo major
ity IN 1872, and is Republican by
that majority to day..
SAVE THE WHITE BANDrTTI
Okolona Miss States.
The Hamburg Is. c. Is the latest sensa-
ton. The Sioux Indian massacre fired
the Northern heart somewhat, but nothing
to compare with the Hamburg affair, in
which half-a-dozen colored militia met
the usual fate in a race conflict Some
of our Representatives, in Congress pour
walls of wrath upon the white banditti
This may bc wise policy but the prinei-
pie zoe do not like.
THE HAMBURG MASSACRE INDoRsED.
The Jackson (Miss.) Clarion,
edited by Barksdale, the bosom friend
of jeff Davis and Col. Lamar, the
Democratic official organ of Mississ-
ippi, and the most influential paper
in the State, has this to say of the
Hamburg massacre:
'No impartial person can read the re-
ports of the affair miM0W approving the
conduct Of the whites, and at the same
time sympathlzing with them in the mis-
fortune of having been forced to such an
extremity of action in sclf-defense"
DEMOCRATIC FALsEHOoD AND MALIGNITY.
Brandon Miss Republican (Democratic).
Twitchell, the Coushatta Radical thief,
who was shot some weeks since by one of
his partners in crime whom he had swim
died, has gone North as campaign doc
The fellow shot both his arms
off and crippled him in one leg, and he is
now exhibiting himself as martyr, and
telling the people he was shot by the Ku-
kluX of Louisiana. lie oughs to hare
been hanged or burned gears ago, and it
is only surprising that tie people did not
hang him.
TIE COLOR LINE DEFINED IN ALABAMA.
Mobile Register.
There are but two parties, can be but
two parties with us, the white and the
black, and he who is not of the former
must belong to the latter.
EXULTING OVER INDIAN MURDERS SITTING
BULL INDoRsED.
Brandon Miss. Republican (Dcmocratic).
"Sltting Bull" the chief of the Sioux
Indians, has summary way of dealing
with carpet-baggers and military satraps
He recently put to death 200 odd of them.
WITHDRAWAL OF EMPLOYMENT.
brownsville (Tenn,) States, Aug. 8, 1876.
Let it be known before election that
the farmers have agreed to spot every
leading Radical negro in the country and
treat him as an enemy for all time to
come. The rotten ring must and shall be
broken at all costs. The Democrats have
