FAILURE OF THE SOUTHERN POLICY.

FAILURE OF THE SOUTHERN POLICY.
Whenever the President has spoken of
his Southern policy since the elimination Of
the late political campaign in this South, it
has been without any cOnCealment Of his
deep disappointment that the Democratic
leaders have not kept their faith more i'm
plicitly with him In view OF the understand
ing that preceded even the declaration of
his election as President. The idea has been
conveyed TO all who have conyersed with
him on the subject, that the experiment OF
pacilcation and Cancellation which he in
ausuratcd by putting the South on its good
behavior, under the given pledges of its
representative men, has failed to meet his
expectations, and hence may be set down rs
an absolute failure. We feel confident that
the President so regards 1t now and Is deep
ly chagrined that he should have been thus
deceived, for no man was ever worse duped
than he has been by HAMPTON, NICHOLS,
HILL, and LAMAR. They made the President
believe that If the troops were withdrawn
and the Southern States were left to them
selves, without military interference, that the
Constitutional rights Of the people, with
out distinction of color or political opinion,
should be as carefully preserved and re-
spected in those States as they are in any
other section OF the nation. The President
felt assured Of this much under the pledges
rendered and no cOnfded implicitly IN
Southern honor.
The result shows how grossly ho has been
deceived During tho late elections in the
South there has been no free and untram'
mclled exercise of the elective franchise
under the dictates of Republican views and
sentiment 1t has not been safe to the COM
fort, the personal welfare, the liberty or the
life Of Republican citizen If he has pre-
sumed TO act in open opposition 10 the
Democratic party. During the canvass Re
publican meetings were mOlcsted by armed
/ blnditti, aud were broken up and dis
perscd. Blood WAS shed and lives wcr,
sacrificed, In violation Of the Constitution
aud the Aws OF the Federal Government
simply for the reason that citizens attempt
ed TO exercise their constitutional rights a
the balIOt-bOx. All these OtIenscs aud VIC
lations of pledges have been Brought to III,
notice Of tho President, and he feels greatly
outraged by the contempt thus thrown upol
the Government, and will do all in his powc
to vindicate the laws and the power Of thr
Government against the crimes that hay
been committed It Is his purpose to re
dress tho wrongs and punish the atrocitie
that have occurred This puts an entrt
new phase upon the relations which hay
heretofore existed between the Prcsidcn
and the people In the South. lie truste,

EoUAL AND EXACT JUSTICE

Religionists defend the policy Of driving
that they are unfaithful Stewards" who
have not properly utilized the talents en-
trusted to them. For the same reason
might the rebellious and and demoralzed
law-deliers of the South be made to vacate
the domain which they inhabit-a country
blest by bountiful nature with all that is
desirable, but which Is blasted by the occu-
pancy of the most God-forsaken people un-
der the sun. When the war ended the
rebel leaders should all have been banlshed
from the country, while the masses should
have been forced to scatter" and cast
their lots in communities where
loyalty might have been inculcated
in thei. youth. As it Is. the
Southern States will ever remain the
hot-bed of treason, and will always continue
u menace to the safety of the Republic. By
their violence and yllainy good men will
ever be deferred from settling among
them, as they have hedged themselve'
about with Chinese wall of ignorance and
dcpravity so broad that horsemen and char
lots can travel upon it abreast As the Indian
has been forced to reCede before the ad
vance Of civilization, so ought the Demo
cratic thugs OF the South DO made TO give
up their splendid soil and congenial clinat,
to population who will respect tho right
of their fcllow-men, and thus relieve tn
country from the perpetual menace of
graccleSs set OF traitors and law-brcakers.

THE Raleigh ~. c. Observer is joined to
its idols Of hate and prejudice against the

nor respect. 1t still sighs for the time TO
come when the grand central Government
"at Washington will be thoroughly ex-
"ploded." Then 1t would he perfectly
happy 1t could play NERO over the ruins
OF the Republic, provided it knows how 20
fiddle, The Observer has undeceived us as
to its candor and f.irness-it Is entitled to
no more credit on that score, for, In tho face
Of tho most positive evidence Of the fact, II
Hatly, and We might say stupidity, denies
that the South has been made solid through
Democratic fraud In view Of this we arc
constrained to the belief that the Observer,
like its kindred Coparceners In hato OF the
Union, the Constitution, and tho Govern
ment, is given over to hardness Ofheart and
blindness OF mind, and that there Is no
hope for It except through gunpOwder re-
generation. II will now drive for its

WILMINGTON, DEL, Aug. IS, 1873.
Mr.. EDITOR :-Iu the Democratic Asso-
Citations meeting, last night, Mr.. W. Blake,
said man named Brainard, in the Ninth
Ward, had sold cut to the Republicans for
$50. Now, Mr.. EDITOR, I haye been a
Democrat all my life. I have never worked
against the Democratic ticket in my life.
can Mr.. Blake say as much have lost
Considerable money by the Democratic
prrty. Has Mr.. Blake ever lost cent by
the partys We would simply recall to his
memory one year ago. Mr.. Blake said bis
authority was Mr.. Brainard's brother-in
law. My brother.in-law says he never said
anything of the kind. He did say, that Mr.
Brainard had the influence to carry the
ward In favor of Mr.. Gallagher, that is all.
Now, am Democrat and have not here
tofore, and, do not intend now to- vote
anything but the straight Democratic ticket
For my Democracy I refer to all the good
Democrats of the city of Wilmington. For
the Democracy of Mr.. Blake, simply res
fer to the Democrats Of the Third Ward,
and Mr.. Bedford, candidate for Council one
year ago. Mr.. Blake should be careful in
his assertions. My reputation as Demo-
crat is as dear to me as any other man. But
the Democrats of Wilmington know me to
well to accuse me of sellingiout. They know
that would not be guilty of it. leave It
with the Democrats of Wilmington, who
know me. -.

SUDDEN DEATH.

Yesterday morning an elderly man
named E. W. Anderson, residing on Church
street between Taylor and Eighth, fell dead
while engaged in carrying bucket Of
water at the city quarrIes, on Eleventh
street. He had just got job of work at
carrying water, and when he went to work
he appeared to be well and after carrying
two buckets full was observed to sit the
bucket down and sit down beside it. In q
few seconds he fell over and when the work
men ran to him he WAS found dead.
The Coroner held an inquest and ver-
dict of death from paralysis of the heart
was rendered.

THE REASON WHY.

We notice sneering illusions every now
and then as to the absence of the new dollar
from circulation. The reason is very OBJ
vious. Their amount is very limited, and
being sought after to pay duties, they in
that way find their way back to the Trea-
sury Of the United States, and do not como
into general circulation. The theory that
money of the least value causes horde Of
it's rival Is not true in the instancs Of the
silver dollars, If the character be given
them by the gold bugs is true, that they
are only worth ninety cents on the dollar
but in this matter, as in others affecting
finance, the truth is not in them.
