Mr.. Stephens: ayes, and il be will give
these to men of character and standing ct

Louisiana and South CaroIins, as we'll a.
other Southern States, all the people Of these
States desire is to be left to themselves, TO
govern themselves as may seem best TO them
and all Mr.. Hayes can do or need do is to see .
that their governments are fepubiican in {

the peace. If he will do this, the corrupt
carpet-bag governments will disappear, and
constitutional and peaceful governments will
take their place. This will bring peace and
contentment to the South, and prosperity to
the country. Iknow my people. They are

own laws, as in other sections of our country.
