superior to all sectional iealousies, preju-

there will no longer be solid North or

NAIlUNAL DhMUUHAOf I.

There could be no stronger proofs OIL
the completeness or the victory and 81
the necessity OF tho preservation OF the
integrity Of the Democratic party thar
are afforded by tho proceedings of the
two Republican conventions recently
held at Augusta, Me-, and at Cleveland
Ohio. In these bodies the issue was
distinctly made on the Democratic
policy adopted by President Hayes, In
reference to the withdrawal OF the Fed.
eral government from all interference
in State affairs. In one OF these bodies
that OF Ohio, the result was an un-
qualified Endorsement of the wisdom
and honesty Of the President; In the
other, Blaine, the leader Of the opposi-
ton to that policy was driven to the
abandonment Of the contest, and by Its
silence the convention accepted and in
dorsed the same policy.
We regard them as significant indica-
tions that the party which four years
ago. through Federal interference In
the South, placed itself In opposition
TO the claims of the States to control
their own government, and to the en-
ployment of United States military to
dominate the civil authority and pro-
mote the schemes OF political party,
has virtually abandoned its policy and
ceased to war against that of the Dem
ocracy.
Whilst large credit Is due the Presi-
dent for his honesty and sagacity, in
leading and compelling this surrender
OF his party, 1t cannot be denied. indeed,
1t is confessed by the most honest OF
them. that the real victor In this contest
is the Southern Democracy, aided by
their brethren OF the North.
To the firm, tenacious and courageous
position Of the better classes of our
Southern people In the maintenance of
the rights OF self-government, and In
nnoompromising hostility to all intru-
sion OF the Federal government into the
administration OF our home affairs, and
the exercise OF the rights Of the States
against the violent sectional pressure
OF the powerful North and the hitherto
nninterruptedly victorious and domi-
nant party Ia due this great triumph.
Besides its other blessings In bring
ing peace and order to the South
ern States, In securing honest admin
fstration, in restoring nationalism and
fraternity, and In eliminating that
strong sectionalism which had been
kept alive and even invigorated by
the wrongfulness. the injustice, the
hypocrisy and treason of this course
OF invasion, usurpation and oppression
of the Republican party toward the
South, there has been one other happy
result to the whole nation, in which all
patriotic, Union loving citizens should
exult and rejoice.
This result Is the revival of great
national party, based on the tested
principles and policies of the party
which, in the happy and glorious past
OF our Republic, secured so large a
share of harmony. happiness and glory
tothe people; which made the Republic
and the Union 80 much honored and re-
speeted abroad, and inspired such earn
