Iicves to day that she is contendiDg for good
government and the highest interests OF c!Vlll-
zation. 10 political matters the two sections
do rot speak the same language. Right and
Justice mean different thiogs at the North and
at the South The South ciiags to her ideas
with all the energy OF aogry defeat Men g.
ways love what they suffer for. The North
has abolished slavery, but it lasted long enough
to make almost every Northcrncr funky
hence the danger that the South Will be finally
victorious.

at auy cost, TO be obeyed; then you may gen

Until then the South sees that all this coocllla.
ton is only coWardica trying TO pass for mag
nanmity.
History repeats itself. What the South needs
to-day is the element which Charlemagne, VIII
liam the Conuuerer, and Cromwell contributed
to their timcs-the heavy hand aud fearless
grasp which holds disorderiy and struggling

grasp Grant would fam have used, but the

The South has no purpos, to Use such forces
as just named Peace aud honesty oa her
part, in Andrew Johnsoa's day, would have
won ample capital to her use. She deled law

Her only trade is politics; that Is her only tool
Bullets failed She has neither finance nor
trade, mechanics nor educated class to work
With. Plot and cabal are her only tools. With
these she plans to force from the North the
wealth she cannot earn, lost the opportunity to
attract, and must Wither and rot without.
In Andrew Johnson's day the North urged
the Southern white to take bis place at the
head Of society aud heartily aid the new order
Of things. Hampton and his caste fung scoro
