Programme Of the "New Party"
CONFIDENTIAL
WAsHINGToN, Feb. a, 1877.
To Lieutenant GoUsrnor Thos. l.. YoaRg
and Alfred D. Lee, Columbus, o.:
At conference of Southern Republi
cans, Southern Unionists and Southern
Wings, the following expresses thelr
wishes and what is best in their judg,
ment. The new era expected by the
Inauguration of Governor Hayes
has already created great hsr-
mony between the aforementioned ele
ments, They greatly desire TO non
sectionslize party politics, and remove the
bitterness and jealousies Of the races
! in the South, as foreshsdowed in Hayes
letter of acceptance. In order to effect
this, it is necessary to have q complete
! change IN the Cabin ct officers, thereby
| giving confidence to the people that this
new and glorious departure to reconcile
aud harmonize, is not to be engineered
and directed by those who have fsiied in
| the past. l he natural atioEal elements
OF the South, by political education and
| party creed, are the old line Whigs and
jackson Democrats. From these ele-
ments we are to-day deriving substan-
! tial aid, and by wise policy they will be
with US in the future 1t is thought best
that from this element il would
be wise and proper to take the Cabinet
cOunsellors from the South and the South
west. The following names are suggest
ed by this conference: Exhibited States
Senator John Pool, of North Carolina, q
native of that State and an eminent law
yer; moral christian gentleman, who
made the race in 1860 for Governor
against secession; was elected by the De-
mocracy, in the first effort at reconstruc.
tion, to the United States Senate and al
forwards reelected by the Republicans;
who was always faithful to the Union
and bitter enemy Of all Corruptionists.
He has been faithful to the Republi-
can party; was at Cincinnati, and laboreA
hard for the nomination Of Governor
Hayes. His appointment would be con-
sdered by our Southern Democratic
friends to be an excellent one, and al the
same time the Republican Senators, while
preferring the West as their first choice,
would be well satisfied with Pool. His
thorough knowledge OF the people, with
mis- many years OF experience in politics,
would make him q counsellor. Next Is
John Hancock; native Of Alabama and
raised in Texas, man of great dignity
Of character, OF integrity, and an old
Jackson Union Democrat, who lett his
native country to join the United States
forces TO conquer the Rebellion. a
moderate and consistent Democrat VINO
has won the con fdence OF the admins
tration by his fairness, want OF prejudice
and patriotism. 1t is believed he would
also be an able and judicious counsellor
and satisfactory to old line Wings and
Republicans. Next Is Col. r. Il. Van
horne, of Kansas City, Mo, a repre-
sentative man Of the Southern
Union soldIe from the great growing
and rapidly developing southwest.
A thorough Republican, with al expert
ence rs editor and legislator, with All ex-
tensive personal acquaintance through
out the South with the people and their
wants. He is of that temperament and
disposition that make HIM truly OF the
people and from the people; his patriot
ism and honesty are undOubLed, and this
appointment would be universally sstls-
faCtory. Next, It is thought by many Of
our new and old friends that it would be
wise aud powerful in political policy
for Gov. Hayes 10 call to mis- Cabinet
council Gen. Jos. +. Johnston, who
was Gil old limo Wing, reluc-
tantly engaged in the Southern
rebellion, always al opponent OF JEFF
Davis and neglected by him. He has
\ nephew moderate Democrat in the
United States Senate from Virginia, with
many Senators from the South AS his
personal friends who would be proud OF
ms recognition. Also, many relatives
and friends in the House OF Represents
tiyes. With the 100000 eX-Coniederate
soldiers he commanded in the South 1t
possibly would make great instrument
in the executive policy Of Gov. Hayes.
Next we find that neither Gov. AlcOrnn
or Senator Hamilton of Texas, have any
friends on either side who are inclined
to push their claims on the ground OF
political policy; In other words
thew have been unsatisfactory tc
both parties and are incapable Of gener-
alIine strength in and Of themselves
Next, Senator Key, of Tennessee, an old
Union Democrat, is discussed tsvorably
by many and perhaps would aid as
counsellor IN shaping wise policy for
that section. In conclusion, as the main
great effort of the incoming Adm,nistrs-
ton Is TO truly in heart harmonize the
South, take away the sectionalism and
bitter contest of the races, and build up
dominant conservative party, it is sug-
gasted that three Cabinet officers from
the South and Southwest be selected,
such rs ex Senator Pool, of North Caro-
lima, John Hancock, of Texas, or General
Joseph Z. Johnston and Colonel r. I.
Vsnnorne, of Missouri. See Governor
Hsves and submit above, and answer by
this line.
