His Views Of the President 's Southern
Policy.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Phrases from Cham
bcrlains speech:
PRESIDENTIAL POLICY:
1t tile term is descriptive it Is an ANOMALY
and Offense; it savors lof bad faith: it has
a native and historical Otlor of treacherv and
intrigue, but, fellow citizens. what Is the
Presidents Southern policy?
In point of physical or external facts. il
consists in withdrawing the military forc,es
Of the United States from the points in South
Carolina and Louisiana, where they had beeIs
previously stationed for the protection and
support of the lawful governments of those
States
In point of immediate, foreseen and intend
ed consequences. 1t consists in theoverthrow
and destruction Of those State governments.
and the substitution i'm their stead of certain
other organizations called State governments
In point of actual present results, it consists
in the abandonment of Southern Republicans,
and especially the colored race. to the control
hut Of that class at the South which regarded
slavery as a divine institution, which waged
four years of destructive war for ita perpetu-
alton, which steadily opposed citizenship and
suffrage for the negro; in, word, class
whose traditions, principles and history are
opposed to every step and feature of whaS Re-
publicans call our national progress since 1850.
In point OF general politbCal and moral sigs
niticance it consists in tie proclamation to
the country and the world that the'will OF the
majority of the voters of a, State, lawfully and
regularly expressed Is no longerthe ruling
power in our States.
