The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1877-04-19

enough to make almost every NortheTner
a hunky. hence the danger that the
South will be finally victorious.
Oil that Rarey were living and Presi-
dent Of these States His is the hand to
save us. The South needs the Rarey
treatment-first show that we can crush

obeyed; then you may gentle" the brute
and conciliate all you please. Until then
the South sees that all this conciliation
is only cnwardice trying TO pass for mag
nanimity.
History repeats itself What the
South needs to-day is the element which
Charlemagne. William the Conqueror,
and Cromwell contributed to their times
the heavy hand and fearless grasp
which hold disorderly and struggling

fain have used, but the senseless clatlor
OF timid ConEressmen and silly journal
lists prevented Hayes proclaims his
purpose to forego and surrender il.
When he took Office Appomattox faded
out Of sight and the South was victorious
in spite OF it. Half OF what Grant gained
for US at Appomattox Hayes surrendered
in Washington on the 5th Of March.
The South has no purpose to use such
forces as have just named. Peace and
honesty on her part. in Andrew John

spirit Of the century. Her only trade is
politics; that is her only tool Bullets

trade, mechanics nor educated class TO
work with. Plot a.id cabal are her only
tools. With these she plans to force
from the North the wealth she cannot
earn, lost the opportunity to attract, and
must wither and rot without.
In Andrew Johnson's day the North
urged the Southern white TO take his
place at the head Of society and heartily
aid the new order of things. Hampton
and his caste flung scorn on the offer
and baughtily bid US build with such
materials as we could find IL the days
are dark now, whose fault ia itP Theirs.
