The election Of NJ. Houston as Gov
ernor Of Alabama furnishes most signal
instance Of the Bourbon restoration.

Congress hs vas the. uneonpromisfng

racy, We would adopt the historical DE-
! scription Of Mr.. Houston and present his
name 4.,.4-
There is not only danger that in the
restoration Of the Bourbons the political
decision Of the war will be repealed. but
the revival Of that obstructive sect will ar
rest the Improvement Of the South. No
BART of the Union needs 90 much the Inn
pulsive hand Of progress. The failure OF
the South to attract immigration not
withstanding its physical advantages,
| evidently requires more cordially in the
| reception Of strangers. The absence Of
railroads, shipping and manufactures
leaves the dependence Of the South
| upon industrial enterprise elsewhere.
What s-can possibly 80 be expected
| from the Bourbon Democracy has any
one Of them ever understood or admitted
the advantages Of material Of mental de-
| velopment? We know Of 10 one Bourbon

be very brief No sooner will sueht fdtera
as Mr.. Houston be placed in power than
the people will lind them wholly made
| quate to meet the exigenciea Of the situa'
ton. They must give place to more lib
era and practical statesmen, who may
place the South on The track OF pro-
eress; eliminate Federal questions from
State politics and organize the industries
common to all other parts Of the civilized
world. Had Alabama elected Governor
| from the old Wing element Of that State,
her cotton mills, her iron and coal meas
ures would have been fostered; with the
Bourbon Democracy the fate Of progress
is sealed. Fortunately it only needs .
short experiment to convince the people
that as the Bourbons Of the South are
responsible for all its woes; their restora-
ton can but perpetuate existing misfor'
| tones. -. a.. ,t..
