The loyal sentiment OF the North IL now
confronted by the disloya sentiment Of the
South. There is bni little difference bo-
tween tho present aspect Of tho nntSgonism
OF the friends OF the Union and those Who !
failing to control Its destiny, would disrupt
II, and that which existed at the commence
ment Of the war Of the rebellion, In 1860
having been defeated in the elecaioulSSlISSA |
President, the disunionisls Of tho SOAth |
took up arms, and resortsd to war to nc
complain their purposes. In 1876, they |
appeal TO the ballot, through the instru- |
mentality of which they hope 10 attain
their object. Tint object ia to secure the
absolute power to govern this country. II
they fail in this, they would willingly re-
sort TO armed resistance to law, were it not
that their late failure is living proof Of
their Impotence. Their only hope then is
centered in the success of their efforts to
elect Samuel j. Tildcn President OF the
United States.
The rule of action with Tildcn has been
and now is that political preforment may
be bought. lie has, within himself, no
prominent trait of character, no striking
ability, no personal magnetism, TO attract
his fellow countrymcn to his support.
Money il the lever by which he proposes
to be raised to an elevation, which should
only be occupied by the good, pure aud
patriotic. True, by the aid OF money, he
| has reached the Office of Governor of New
! York. BY the same instrumeniality he
has secured determination from his party
for the position of Chief Executive of the
country. Thus far this interruptions man
has been successful. Shall bribery and
corruption serve him in his ambitious
schemes for further promotion? lie acts
upon the presumption that money is the
"sinew" OF politics az we'll as war. With
il he controls un'crupulous leaders OF the
vile and bcRottcd in the commercial me-
tropolis, the companions of Tweed, the
habitucs of the slums, the disciples OF
Morrissey, Kelley, and O'Dricn. His cof-
fcrs have been filled to overilowing by
filching railroads from unsuspecting own
crs, and by avoiding legitimate taxation
With the money thus acquired Samuel j
Tilden has determined to buy the Presi-
dcncy. Will not the people realize this
fact, and prevent the success OF a scheme
which threatens the undermining of our
free government, and the subyeHsiaD oi
liberty? We shall see.
