Morton and Butler stand fore With

yass Tldens would be to-day in ths
White House and the Republicans not
only defeated, but humbied by their
overwhelming annihilation. Every 9TH
er element appears III the Cabinet This
only--the Hamlet ofthe piece-ssomit-
ted. There is, Evarts, who represents
the neutral-men-s so indifferent that, in
this battle Of giants and struggle Of prin-
ciPles, they could see nothing either in
the Repubhcan or Democratic party
worth working for. Schurss stsnds fer
the treachery, seif-conceit; and morbid
Office seeking that rebelled with Gree
ley. Key brings in Tilden and seces-
sion. iDevens keeps Fresh before :es
the men vino ate dirt and wore, collars
in the old pro-slayery days. II the
Presidential canvass had contained only
these forces Hayes would dwell quietly
to-day in Ohi0.i Blaine and the bloody
shirt elected our President. During the
long doubt Of q December and January
the only words that reached US FROM
Gov. Hayes was, the assurance how
deeply he felt for the negroes; how he
pitied them If the count should show Til
den electedr He knew well enough
then what chord would reach the ma.
tons heart and make men pray for his
success.
If Tilden had been counted in what
more would the South have asked Of
him, What more would he have dared
to do than to withdraw the troops -
Fancy Hayes proclaiming in, October
that he contemplated calling home the
troops! II the telegraph had announced
such purpose on his part, that moment
the canvass would have virtually ended,
and Tilden would have walked uncbal-
lenged over the course. II the Cabi-
net calls home the troops, affirm they
hold seats which have been obtained on
false pretences. Once withdraw the
troops, and they can never return. No
Democratic Legislature or Governor
will ever invite the Federal Govern
ment to cross the sacred boundary line
of a State. Starvation and blood will
rule the South. There will not be a
Republican State south of the Potomac.
Our next Congress and President will
be Democratic. Then follow loans to
Southern States and railways, pensions
TO Confederate soldiers, ana payment of
Southern State debts. A "solld South"
the "slave power" under new name
-strikes hands with Northern grog
shops, and rules us as before the war.
The almost unvarying custom and
courtesy Of our politics is for the Presi-
dent 20 offer to the next strongest can
didate of his party the position OF Sec
retary OF State. When Hayes omitted
this offer to Blaine, and, further, exclud-
ed from his Cabinet the idea Mr.. Blaine
represents. he no; only insulted Blaine,
but revealed himself as purposely be-
traying the ranks that elected him. But
Lamar and Hill prophecy soft things"
Yes, while their white constituents will
not speak to Longstreet. Besides Blaine's
spear once revealed Hills black heart.
Does any cunning man, after no.
tice, stumble twice over the same stone !,
They both are behaving we'll before COM
pany. We have tried con citation be fore.
Andrew johnson, made Vice-Presi-
dent, was our first experiment. No
one will claim that as success. Ack-
erman, Mosby. Longstreet are later in
stances. The South lost three men and
We gained just three: that is all.
But Wade Hampton and Nichols
promise that if recognized, they will
keep the peace and protect the negro.
Promise! Why, the whole soil Of the
South is hidden by successive LAYERS
of broken promises made the last forty
years. She never yet has kept prom.
ise. To trust Southern promise would
be fair evidence ofinsanity. The white
South stands to-day peIured before the
world, her cartel OF honor broken and
forfeited. Unaskedshe offered her oath
Of submission and took life, land, citizen
ship and all its privileges, in return pledg-
ing herself TO obey the Constitution and
secure to every race his rights. Deliber-
ately, IN the face Of the world, over and
over again she has broken the oaths she
volunteered to take, and stands pcriured
before the world. Sach men presume
to call themselves gentlemen aud talk
Of promises Il was gross insult to
the American people when the President
received the Hamburg assassin, Butler,
into consultation. Whist can consult
ing with assassins led toe Noshiag but
more murders of innocent meu. scr
No, the epoch is not ended Whoev-
er says so is either knsve or dope
The battle Is only adjourned from Wa
terlco TO the coup dsfsf of 1854 and the
stuffed ballot boxes os November 1854.
Then France tried 20 create = EcPablic;
We are trying TO save one.
