CONDITION or THE SOUTHERN STATES.
i The resolution of the convention on the
E subject Of the permanent pacifcation of the
It's citizens in the free enjoyment Of all their
! constitutional rights is timely and Of great
; importance. The condition of the Southern
Il States attracts the attention and commands
the sympathy Of the people Of the whole
J Union. In their progressive recovery from
the effects Of the war their first necessity is
an intelligent and honest administration of
: government, which will protect all classes
Of citizens In all their political and private
rights What the South most needs is
peace, and peace depends upon the suprema-
8 cy of law. There can be no enduring
. peace If the constitutional rights Of any por
tIon of the people are habitually disregard
led. division of political parties. resting
merely upon the distinctions ofrace, or upon
lsectional lines is always unfortunate. and
may be disastrous. The welfare Of TIE
South, alike with that Of every other part of
the country, depends upon the attractions 1t
can offer to labor, to immigration and to
Icapital. But Iaborers will not go,aGd capital
Twill not be ventured, where the constitution
i and the laws are set at defiance, and dis
II traction, apprehension and alarm take the
place of peace loving and law abiding social
life. All parts Of the Constitution are sacred
and must be eacredly observed. the parts
THAT are new no less than the parts that are
4 old. The moral and national prosperity of
tie Southern States can be most effectually
advanced by hearty and generous recogni-
| tiOn of the rights Of all. by all; recognition
Without reserve Or exception. With such
a recognition fully accorded, 1t Will be prac
tIcable TO promote. by tho influence OF all
/ legitimate agencies Of the general govern
ment, the efforts Of the people CT those
states to obtain for themselves the blessings
/ Of honest and capable local governments.
If elected, [ shall consider 1t not only ny
! duty, but it will be my ardent desire, TO
labor for the attainment Of this end. Let
nae assure my countrymcn of the Southern
States that If shall be charged With the
cutY of organizing an administration. 1t will
be ono which will regard and cherish their
truest int erests, the interests of the white and
of the colOred people, both and equally. and
which will put forth it's best efforts In behalf
of a civil policy which will wipe out forever
the distinction between the North and South
| In our common country.

the public welfare solely in appointment,
