Tho solid South policy is bad for the South
bad for the material interests and tho
political power Of tho people who exercise
the right of suffrage and the privilege of
rampant sectioualsm. The process by
which tho solidity Of the South is secured
prevents tho developcmont of natural re-
sources of tho country. Thun tho South,
solid or not, oan never bu half Of the whole
country. 1t is fankcd by the Pacific
States, and Texas will not be Southern
State long, i'll the confederate sense of the
torn. Then tho solid South will bo but
corner of the country, aud wholly inaufli-
eient as basis for national policy. The
reign of tho shotgun cannot ouduro for
ever.
From tho Boston Advertiser, Rep.1
I The manner in which the Southern
leaders aro abusing tho confidence of those
who hoped for better things, is becoming q
serious monaco to the peace and order of
the country. Tho Constitution is praoti-
oalIy nulliGod by their conduct. The
right of suffrage is denied to whole race
For the South itsolf the policy is suicidal.
Thoro is no right of aolf government which
offors tho shadow of an excuse for such
desperate measures. The vhito Democrats
have full control at home. There are no
Federal troops to trouble thoir sensitive
souls. Thoy do what they have done in
accordance with the short sighted policy cf
contributing to the victory of q party which
will play them false whenever it becomes
dangerous to stand fast; and Of defeating
the party which has dominated, and docs
and will dominate, the North But if they
persist in such soaudalous doiugs they will
learn that the country viii not endure it.
The way will be found to secure equal
and honest elections in every part of tho
Union. 1t will be dono by thoroughly
peaceful but not less thoroughly effeotual
means. The united North is more than
match in Congress for the united South,
and tho North will become moro and moro
Of ono mind iu demanding that this wrong
DC rightod.
[From the N Y. Tribune; Rcpl
1t matters not whether tho Democratic
majority proves to be 100000, or $4,000,
or so 900, as long as it is palpably major
ity which, in q State like South Carolina,
does not reflect the honest and free choice
of its citizens. 1t reflects tho will of
class. That GLASS rules through Wade
Hampton. Aud the free choice, tho will,
and even the freedom OF discussion, OF every
other class Of citizen are stamped out utterly
with tho aid and approval. and for tho ben
clis of the man who pledged his personal
honor to SEQ that all otizons in South Car
olina were protected in their rights. This
is but ono State out of sixteen. 1t offers
a sample Of tho least offensive mode of
dofying tho Constitution In some other
States FREQ goyornmont has been destroyed
by bloodshed, and in some others by fraud.
With respoot to each and all of them tho
question will now BIO asked for two .yoars,
and will become very important question
in tho noxt Presidential election, whether
sixteen mob dospotisms havo any business
to control tho Government Of tho United
States.
