:. rnte a letter Of a very amicable party ma
.urs. and took occasion to throw out bis
views about the Republican policy OF inc
campaign. His suggestions relating TO Tue
South were emphatically sectional, ana very
much tinctured with MoRroNs bitter nos.
tiltty. A .solld South" he inve'ghea
against.
II IS apparent that the leading northef',
statesmen are unwilling to give up secsioha'
hate and jealousy as q means OF infiaming
the northern mind. The South may expect
that as much as can be done ID TINS iihe
will, be done, and that the war OF sections
will have TO be fought a little longer.
We do not believe that this sort OF he
nnblican warfare will succeed to any con-
siderable extent. But we see that there Is
a strong disposition to turn to account the
acitation in the South OF financial ideas 0,
relief through monetary imitation by Tue
Federal Government. There will be surrey
q strong attack upon the South upon Tue
alleged ground that southern agitators are
seeking to impair the national credit ano
bring disaster upon the nation through de-
vices for public relief from debt and mis-
fortune.
The South should be as circumspeet o.
possible in the matter OF ideas ana primer
Dles Of government and the policy OF pub
,;c administration. Tn finance, .THURAAN's
platform is safe and sound. Beyond tnal
we think nobody should go; Tor beyond
that there is n wild waste OF Impractical
bility.
The South in other times was the country
OF good faith and sound principles OF
finance as well as politics. Let us cndeavor
TO return to the ideas and the good faith OF
our fathers. We should let our countrymen
know that we as well rs they have coun-
try to support and to defend, and that IN no
section is there a more honorable and firm
purpose to guard and support the Govern
ment and to insure the national integrity
and the soundness and wisdom Of the pub
lie Administration.
This is the answer the South should give
to the COMBINES, BLAINEs, GARFIELDs, ana
their colleagues amongst northern sectional
politicians. ... .,

The West Point Star or the Thurman
Platform.

With the Democrats OF the great West,
we are opposed to the present ruinous
policy OF contracting the currency. We
believe the resumption act ought to have
been repealed the last session OF Congress,
and. that the failure to do so has added
largely to the present financial troubles
which affect the country.
We believe in the free coinage OF silver
and in its establishment as money metal
equal in all respects with gold.
We are opposed to any issue of an are
deema6le greenback currency, but are en-
tirely satisfied with that portion Of the fore
going article which advocates the gradual
Substitution Of United States legal-tender
notes bona fde promises to pay dollars) for
national.bank notes. But we do not know
that we are now in favor OF making Trea-
sury notes the only paper money in the
country.
We arc opposed to any further increase
i'm the bonded debt of the country, and to
the further sales of bonds for the purpose
of buying coin for resumption purposes.
Taken as whole the financial plank In
the Democratic platform ia Ohio is good
one-one upon which it appears to us that
the people OF the whole country, but par
ticuIarlv OF the South and West, can unite.

throughout the South the announcement
Of General Johnston's nomination to repre-
sent the Richmond (Va.) district in Con.
gress will be hailed with delight. Although
his whole life has been devoted to other
pursuits than legislation, yet his sound
sense and practical sagacity will make him
q valuable member OF the Federal Legisla.
ture. The opposition with which he was
met is said to have been based upon the
idea that lie was in favor OF increasing the
army. This, however, was authoritatively
denied. The Richmond district is to be
congratulated on its recognition OF the
claims of one whose name and fame will al
ways be dear to southern people.

After stormy session the nomination Of
General Joseph E. Johnston for Congress
was the result OF the primary election held
in the Richmond district on Wednesday
the 2Sth instant. General Johnston's legion
friends throughout the Union will rejoice
al the selection, while the South will have
another representative in whom they may
feel honest pride. We predict for him as
statesman career as brilliant as that won
on the battlefield as q soldier. Though it
must be source OF great modification to
the Old-fashioned Firginian to know that
Joseph T.. Johnston. with the record ne has
won in every position he ever occupied in
life, should have met with the slightest OPP
position, really Virginia seems to be not
so dignifed as in old times. North Carolina
papers never abuse eX-President Davis. nor
would convention of her people have fail
ed to nominate General Johnston on the
first ballot, and unanimously.

Though it lies yielded to my hand, know
1t cannot satisfy or fill my needs!
Still for dearer thing that lies beyond
My inmost spirit strains with yearnings
fond
The hunger Of my heart the gift exceeds.
A little while ago--a little while,
had touched Heaven where this days sun
beams smie
A little W lille ago, had been glad
Glad without one dim shadow on my way:
But now, at midnoon, all the skies seem
gray,
And at tie goal falter and am sad
What I have won, what poor a thing il
seems!
How far below the summit of my dreams I!
What l .desire--how dear, Oh, God, how
dear!
And nothing seemeth good to me. or sweet,
Nor any pathway pleasant to my feet,
Until life's far off treasure lieth near.
The faded flowers lie scentless in my path
The royal rose lifts far above my grasp
Its burning heart to the burning kiss OF
day;
Yet could reach it, would it bloom as fair
Or whittier like the withered lilies there:
And would care to keep it? Who can say
