The Detroit Free Press says: A boy
aged twelve, whose uncle is member ofthe
Legislature, was permitted to make trip
to Lansing few days ago in order to visit
the State House. He came home chuck

Southern Motives.

The feet established by the publication
of the Matihews-Foster letter. that the
good behavior of the Southern democrats
in relation to the electoral count was In
consequence of the trade which their lead
ers made with Matthews and Foster, spoils
the talk so largely INDUCED in since the
Inauguration about the magnanimity and
honorable conduct of the South in aiding
the electoral count to be consummated.
Those who were deceived in the motive
of the southern democrats feel like the
Boston Advertiser. when 1t says:
1.-THE revelation of the conditions which, alone,
according to John Young Brown, induced the
Southern democrats to oppose the mad purpose oil
defeating the Judgment of their own tribunal by
flibustering, deprives them of the need OF COM
mendation for high and patriotic motives which
had been so generously bestowed. by their own
comics sion they did not act the patriotic part be-
cause it was right to do so and duty, but be-
cause they had OBJ. aimed a consideration in the ma
ture OF pledge, as they interpreted it, that GER
tain partisan ends, which seemed desirable TO
them as Southern democrats, should be accomp-
lished. This disclosure of the true inwardness OF
their conduct in the crisis nulliies whatever title
the misunderstood motives of that conduct. What
ever construction Messrs Matthews and Foster
put upon their act, the parties of the other part as
the lawyers say, have not scrupled TO acknowledge
that they regarded it at the time. and regard 1t
now, as q political trade. The nation was dis
posed to give them credit for dsinterested and
highly honorable patriotism. They spoil the char
liable intention by insisting that they have been
cheated in bargain A chance oe canonization
in history for distinguished virtue was never more
stupidity lost"
We fear this misunderstanding of the
motives of Southern democrats by the
milk-and-water republican newspapers is
not the only case in which they will find
themselves deceived by the South. The
true inwardness of the bull dozers in 9TH
er matters will yet be revealed so that the
most stupid will see and be convinced as
to their motives and purposes.
