their support
On The Isl of Mar, 1875. the ownesship and
control q The World pEassed inio the hands ~
che uuderzirned Under whose absolute and an
trammeiisd direction The World hAs ever ence
remained and row remains.
Daring the whole Of this time The Wcrld has
Iahored patiently and persereriug5y sor the ac-
cnsnplishnenf II fwo great ohiecfs IL politics of
PARAMOUNT interest 10 the Southern people.
I. The restoration d Local SeifGovcfnmens
az the Souah.
III. A Real Reform % the Civil Service, In such
wise a. 10 destroy The political maehAnen under
the operation or which Il has come Az pass thai
the people are taxed to support rpI PARTIES
whereas political parties bare ton g
being except % lessen The burdens 81 govern
meBt.
The frat Of these objects has been triumphant
" Accomplished. Ali intelligent Northern nen
now admit that ali parts Of the country were as
deeply interested As the South in seeing it wen.
A corrupt and anti-Democrasic government In
the South was permanent peril TO the ascenden-
cy Of true American principles in the Federal
Government and therefore TO the peace snd honor
Of she whole people.
The second political object for which The
World contends saill remains TO be FULLY achieved
The actual Administration began is career with
excellent promises In this direction Of which Il 10
sufficient to say that they have been Al yet only
In part redeemed. The World for lis part viii
resOIutely support any honest effort 70 redeem
these promises fully, By whOmsocrer made, end
will as resolntely denounee every obstacle thrown
In the way Of redeeming them, from whatever
quarter.
II seems TO the undersigned eminently proper
that he should ask the corporation Of the best
men Of the South with The World Ia It's efforts
to carry out the policy here outlined. he be-
lieves The World 20 be paper which Southern
citizens and Democrats can recommend 70 South
ern readers as an influence worthy and impor-
tant 10 be brought TO bear with constantly in
creasing power upon the conduct Of our national
affairs in the interest Of truth, Of justice and Of
harmony among our people Of al sections.
Il is my desire 20 keep The World In q living
relation with the best thought Of the South 10 the
end that the best ideas, wishes and feelings Of
the Southern people may be clearly and fairly
made known to the North, the East and the
West. Alike In private and in public affairs the
misunderstanding Of men BY Que another lies at
the root Of 60 much evil that the word itself has
come to be q synonym with Quarreling and
strife. II was n wise saying Of Lord Eigin, ut
the time Of one Of our sharpest disputes with
Great Britain, that two intelligent gentlemen
alone on raft in the Atlantic with plenaFy
powers could adjust the whole matter honorablY
in an hour.
The World simply asks its friends at The
South 10 aid il in bringing about a complete
meeting Of MINDS On all public questions between
the intelligent citizens Of ell parts of the Union.
