NEW AMERICAN PARTY.

The New York Herald proposes the organ
ization of a new American party, with the
view of making the pacifcation policy of his
excellent fraudulency a national success.
The Herald suggests that "such men as La
mar, Hampton, Lee, Gordon and their fell
lows throw aside all political ties and unite
with men like Conkling, Fish, Hoar,
'Eyarts, Adams, Edmunds and Dix, and
form a new party, whose first duty will be
Justice, magnanimity and aid to the SOUTH"
1t is very plainly discoverable that the
same ''old niger in the wood pile" is still
the disturbing cause of the Herald's dissatis-
faction, for it says that "these southern men
can in an hour give assurances as to the
protection and we'll being of the negro that
will at once satisfy the north" He
says "they can give him political equal
'ity, and in so doing open the way
to a settlement that will end the most pain
'ful question that ever effected American
politics, and bring about that era of good
feeling of which the republic is in such sore
need"
The political philosophy of the Herald
is refreshing, and his party impudence is only
equaled by the clandestine spirit of his party
policy. He says the south has accepted"
nothing. THAT they only aim to get back
what they have lost, and to bring back as
nearly as possible the old system" Then,
he suggests, that Hayes may say to the
men OF the south, Act with me in good
faith and 1 will give you more; far more
than you can win in hundred electoral
campaigns.
Now we would like TO ask what his frudu
lency has to give the south or the north
either? He is very much in the condition
OF the devil when he took the Saviour up
into high mountain. He has nothing to
give but empty promises; nothing to utter
in the ears of grieving south but batch
of political lies. He give to the south!
What can he give? What has he to give?
Did he give Hampton to South Carolina?
Not a bit of it, He couldn't help himself,
for if he had dared to do so In the face of
the masses of the white population of that
abused state he would have stood by Cham
berlain until the last day in the evening.
Was il his hand that placed Nichols in the
gubernatorial chair OF louisiana No; he
did not. He only yielded to inevitable
events, and, therefore, he should nave no
credit for "peace policy when he did not
dare to do otherwise.
The Herald even processes TO do away
with the bloody shirt business, except in
Maine and Indiana where ii is supposed that
it will still be necessary, ITO enable Mr..
Blaine and Mr.. Morton and the fanatics to
make an effective campaign"
The proposition for the organization Of a
new party Is TO save the radical party in the
next national campaign. They know we'll
that unless they can conciliate the south in
some way before that time their party will
go under, as the scoundrelism of returning
boards can never be repeated again without
a revolution. They think now IL they can
form an American party in the south they
may carry three or four of the southern
states and still hold their grip upon the gov
eminent But the southern people will
never under any name, trust the party that
claims that the south is "a conquered terri
tory" They have no confidence IN the
sympathy that only feeds them to make
them the more willing subjects of radical
misrule. They prefer an open foe to a soul
less sycophant who would fatter only TO
gain rule.
This new party of the Herald won't take.
1t is too thin and will not bear inspection.
