leaves the national debt exposed to repudat on

The policy OF coEciliating the South
was first tried by Andrew johnson. 1t
ended so far as he was concerned with his
impeachment trial. after it had carried him
over TO the democratic party. Among bis
letters which have recently been examined
by Mr. Redfield of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, was found the one from Mr.. Sum
ner to President johnson which we pub
lish elsew here in our columns. There
were letters from prominent republicans
found in the lot approving the policy then
marked out by Mr.. johnson, but Mr..
Summers it will be seen was n clear and
decisive protest against it. How strong
ly the mauly and bold ulterances OF the
great Massachusetts Senator contrasts
with the weak and sycophanlic laudations
Of the cancellation policy which have
filed the policy organs of that State.

From the New York Tribune
Duty of the North.

Why is the South solidP Because tn
South is hungry. But why Is it solidl.
DemOcratIcp Because 1t can use the dem
ocratic party as its feed-trough. Demo
cratic victory means the feeding of fifteen
very hungry States at the expense of the
rest.
The hunger Is not denied. The claims
which come up, in number as the lice of
Egypt. whenever democratic Congress
assemblies, are not hidden. The official
journals of daily proceedings show their
nature; if man has a lifetime of leisure,
he can count them, and guess at their
amount. Few will be passed, men hope
fully say. But every one has set of very
hungry men behind it, Every one is pre-.
sented, not because democratic member
wants to do stupid thing, or is SO blind
as not to see that these thiags hurt
his party. but because he cannot hope to
exist politically unless he presents and
urges 1t. The dull men are those who
fancy that these Southern claimants are
not in dead earnest when they ask for mon.
ey. For they are poor. The war took
slaves and struck down industry Recon.
struction was worse than war. The one
thing that no man can guess is how much
the South really wants. 1t wants canals
the North has them. 1t wants railroads
the Government has built many at the
North. II wants rivers improved, ant
harbors deepened; commerce goes tt
New York instead of Norfolk, and to Bos
ton instead of Beaufort. men fully believe
only because Government has not beef
fair. 1t wants levees; Northern farm
are not flooded. 1t wants payments fo
losses in war; Northern citizens hav
been paid. That these and many othe
things are desired, really and intensely
and by great many men who have vote
and influence, it is sheer folly to deny.
But what are We 10 do? II would banl
rupt the government to pay half the sum
demanded. Generosity is very well, bu
we cannot give what we cannot get. Th
United States cannot borrow dollar. vii
Southern policy as to treatment OF cree
itors. A single bill, sustained by min,
tenths of the Southern votes. has alread
stopped the sale of bonds, though vel
Is yet to come. Pass 1t. aud a per cen
bond would find no buyer at par. Pa,
with 1t bills to open rivers and harbor
dig canals. raise levces, construct raj
ways. and pay war claims. and the Unite
States would be safe not 10 borrow a do
lar al any price. These things mean
bankruptcy. To the people of the Norl

It, this means ruin. OF course. Sou,ber

The Maine Standard makes Mr.. Mad-
gan say that Mr.. Burleigh claims his resi-
dence in Aroostook to have begun May
23d. 1876 We had no idea that Mr.. Bur-
leigh was so old as Mr.. Madigan makes
him out TO he or that Aroostook had been
settled SO long by white men. Probably
the Pilgrim Fathers will be introduced as
witnesses when this case comes before the
Senate. George Washington's testimony
will not be of any use, for he was not
born it appears until l5o years after Mr..
Burleigh's residence in Aroostook began.
