PROTECTION And NOT OPPREs-
SION.

President Hayes is TO be congratuIa-
ted for one step thus far taken By his
administration. 50 different from Grant
he is anxious.to have the people feel that
the government is made for their pro-
lection and not for their oppression; In
other words, it seems to be his aim that
his fellow-c9untFymen be led to love
their government aad not daspiso or
fear it. These indications foreshadow a
policy Of real conserving patriotism
The President knows that the American
bosom has been torn by revolution, and
tn e wounds of ar have been fretted into
gaugrene by Interstate hates and Sec
tional recriminations. lie has acted,
and is now acting the part CT healer of
civil afflictions, and would restore to the
whole country the benefits and blessings
of a peaceful and prosp porous nlt;onlI
brotherhood. No patriot can cjnsisteot-
~ refuse to endorse tho course of Mr.
Hayes, or any high oGi5ial who sincerely
la5urs to attain so noble an end Par
tyism may STIFF tia voice of some lead
ere, but the great heart # the people
warmly responds to the late evidences of
goodwill exhibited by Mr. Hayes. Let
him advance as he has begun, AMI 10
power this side of heaven can keep him
from securing the com uendation Of the
honsst masses throughout he country.

HOME RULE THE ISSUE.

Alexander Stephens states the
case when he says:
Lot us look at ;he question as it pre-
sents itself now. The Jcffersonian idea
was the reserved rights of the States 10
administering their internal affairs,
while the action of the Feieral Govern
ment is to be coafne4 to its limited res
lrictiOns, and it is upon that Platform that
President Hayes has sqaayely planted
himself With him ere the people Of
the South, who have been longing for th9
time when they would be allowed to gov
ern themselves without the intervention
Of Federal authority. IL the North
there are, doubtless, vast number of
the members of the old Whig party
whose judgment approves the action OF
the President. The name Of the organi-
zlton is imml tcrial. Principles is the
only thing essential, and while the great
question of the hour is, home rue, it Is
not important whether the supporters Of
the Presidents policy call themselves
Republicans OF Democrats"
Moreover, he says there are
some who are still in the woods
who may at first be inclined to
oppose and condemn the Presi-
dents course, but in his opinion,
formed upon knowledge of the
Southern people, that opposition
will be short-lived. He looks
for an almost unanimous support
of the administration by the De
mocracy throughout the country,
and especially on the part Of our
Southern delegation in Congress.
He says that if President Hayes
is pressed too closely by the rad
icals Of his party, let him appeal
to the moderate Republicans,
and there can be no doubt of the
result of such an appeal. The
South would hear it as a unit,
and the conservative element Of
the North would respond in solid
column.

we're presented and urged, and at such q
sine Major Alexander Harris, g member
of the lower House, frcm Hudson
county, received from Senator John B
Gordon letter urging him to support
William Walter Phelps, Republican
candidate, for the United States Senate.
The letter was followed by one from the
H5n. Il. Q. c. Lamar, advising the sane
action. These letters were shown to
prominent Democrat, and their authors
received merited denanciation, and the
gentlemen through whom they sought to
seat another Republican in the United
State Senate was cautioned against fol-
lowing such advice. These two gentle-
men aided, By every power given then
by eonfiing constituency, to seat the
fraudulent occupant Of the Executive
Mansion, and their eGors to seat a Re
publican in the United States Senate for
six years was only defeated ~ the un~
s~erying adherence to principle of the

OUR LINE OF wORK IS PLATT.

!
Now that the war is over and
, peace prevails throughout the
South, certuin issues demand the
attention Of the Southern peo-
pie. The rule Of the carpet-bag-
/ ger is a thing Of the past, and
next in the cataIoge of dire evils
is sectionalism, which should
also be consigned to the same
oblivion. For the last ten years
the Southern Democracy has had
to fight most stubbornly against
these two elements Of discord.
Thus far success has rewarded
our labors. It remains for our
party to move forward to occupy
higher ground before the coun-
try. No longer hampered by the
entangling issues and fiery hate
Of avowed governmental policies,
we are called upon to build up
and strengthen a healthy public
sentiment among the people,
and direct all our energies to the
encoura cement Of home indus
tries and the establishment Of
new avenues of enterprise and
general thrift. Into the hands
Of the Southern Democracy the
fostering and development Of
6CIthern, resources are directly
committed. The federal govern
ment, through Congressional
legislation, should be enlisted to
extend substantial aid to all pub
lie improvements wherein p~i-
vate capital isunequaI to the task
The Ievees Of the Mississippi
river need the free and full help
Of the federal treasury. The
Texas Pacific railroad, and other |
improvements that tend to lift !
our section out Of its present |
embarrassed surrounding, are |
justly entitled to a share Of the |
government patronage. The |
time is passed for the Democrat |
ic party to throw itself upon its /
anti-war fossiIliferous principles /
and refuse to have aid outside /
Of State lines. This very theory
has brought upon US our present
imDoverishment. and while the
North has utilized federal help |
IN projecting Internal improve
naents, we have declined to re-
ceive it, The folly of such
is now apparent to our
wisest leaders. They are, there
fore, anxious to move to the
front and get all the assistance
possible in order that our people
may also share in that prosper
-ty which has blessed and en-
,iched moro fortunate sections.

OF ostracising partyism. The
people have no fellowship with
such conduct. They are losers
by such a game. Party leaders
may be benefited but the mass
es suffer from such a policy.
The South has mere to fear from
Bourbon fanatics than from Mr..
Hayes. Blaine denounced the
President because he dealt lust
l. by the South and ultra dem
ocrats denounce him because he
has done the very same things
we wanted Mr.. Tilden elected to
to do. Hayes has taken the
wind out Of the Democratic sails,
hence the opposition to him.
Let rs tell the Brownsville Dem
ocrat that its course Of abuse of
the*President viii weaken the
Democratic cause in the estima-
ton Of sensible Democrats, but
that a respect FOR ard apprecia-
alton Of Wr. Hayes pacific poll
cy viii tend to preserve the uni
ty and maintain the true aims Of
the party. The Southern people
have been SO wasted by Radical
ism in the past that now as day
light breaks they are not willing
to go back under the Republican
yoke and be scourged by the
BIaines. Our Bourbon leaders
would rather have the South
stricken afresh than see it freed
and prospered under the admin
Istration Of Hayes. But the PEG
pie are not with them in such q
preference. The masses are in
the lead, and our leaders are far
III TIA" background, chewing the
cud OF discomfort, and bitterly
lameTting the unexpected turn
an the tide of affairs. They
should be patient and not be vex-
ed in spirit, Democratic princi-
pies are coming TO the front in
administration, and If he
does moi measure up to the full
requirements Of Democratic or
thodoxy, we have only to get
ready for 1880, and place in the
Executive chair not true blue
Bourbon, but a broad-breasted

The General Of the Army on the
European War.

Gen. Sherman thinks that the
TurkO-Russian war viii eventu-
ally eliminate in the greatest
outbreak which has occurred for
centuries past; that Austria viii
soon be in it, and that before
Constantinople is taken England
Will interfere, and thus become
involved. He says that large
army Of Russians Will cross the
Danube somewhere between
Rutschuh and Narna, and that
both of these cities, with Sizes
tria. VIII be the scene Of great
fighting. The Russians will push
on into Moldoya, and down to
GaIatz, If they can get there.
At that place he thinks terrific
battle Will be fought; but inhis
opinion the field battle Of the
campaign will be fought at Schu-
mia. the immense fortified camp
OF the Turks. He thinks the
Russians are moving with an ar
nv OF about three hundred thou
sand men in that direction. He
is of opinion that If the Russians
are paving gold for what they
use in the MOldayian and Wal
Iachian provinces, the farmers
viii continue to go on and raise
their crops; but if they take by
force. and devastate the country,
then the farmcrs's business in
that great producing county,
Will entirely suspend. He says
the Turks viii make more de
termined resistance than they
have ever made before, and that
their navy now in the Black Sea
is far superior to tha Russian,
and that IT would not surprise
him if the Turks perpetrated a
bold flank movement and cap
tUrod Odessa in the Black Sea,
the chief depot Of supplies, etc,
for the marching armies Of the
Car. He believes that before
the war is over the map Of
the continent and Of Eastern Eu-
rope will be very much changed.

EX-SENATOR BR0WNL0W
DEAD.

This noted editor and poIiti-
elan died last Sunday at Knox
Vile. One by one the represen-
tative landmarks around us are
silently but surely passing away.
They serve their generation in
impressing upon it their charac-
teristic teachings and the hopes
and fears that outlined their dis
tinctive individuality. The inner
home-life and heart phases Of
Brownlow may have been gen
ial, but the outside kernal Of the
man, his public career, was as a
roughening rasp. He, no doubt,
had virtues, for poor indeed must
be the man who has not some
sunshine in his nature, but the
incissivcness and decided bold
ness Of Brownlow often offended
public sentiment and called
forth expressions of general con
demnation. He had his peculiar
faults, and who has not many
foibIes2 His publicity develop
ed his weaknesses, while other
persons in their comparative OBJ
security never have a chance to
publish their true character.
His life is a spent force and its
fruits will befriend or condemn
his name. Now that the wings
of his restless spirit arc at rest,
we should emphasize his good
ness and in silence review his
frailties.
