re- trust TINT every man read tbe speech
81 Senator BEN. HILL sts Atianta, " htcl. aJ,--
peared ii our paper ot Friday. y was ex X
actly suited TO the das and the times. !,
WIS brief. sentenfious, practicai, and iofes'
bic. The particular point nude ~ ~ was
that the Republican party was 10 tue tnroes
Of death and the Democratic party upon the
threshold 81 d victory That would place In
its hands the Government OF the nation.
I'VE concur In his view. and nothing can
nreyept its entire success save the folly OF
some and the nefarious and corrupt schemes
al others OF those who should assist IN secur-
ing this triumph and participate in Its adj
yantages.
The Democratic party Is the party OF
Deace and harmony. It's the party OF ma
tional policies and national faith. Its poll
cies tend to the promotion OF national power,
especially in the respect OF avoiding Sec
tionalisms. Its motto is that in union there
IS strength, in divisions weakness. Its prin-
ciples are broad aud comprehensive. anu
favor the greatest good for the greatest
number. IL iayors equality of burthens and
OF benefits among the States, unrestricted
and facilitated intercourse between States
| and people, ard to make this intercourse
both complete and prosperous it proposes
to maintain the hes. currency for the whole
Union, and to keep it permanently yalua-
bic and upon an equality with coin; SO that
people everywhere shall be rewarded 1or
their labor in money that shall be IN
cbaneeable in value and that will assure
everybody that what he receives for goods
or service will command its value in what
| he wants.
lis principles cover the whole field OF ma
tionaIity and maintain equality and justice
to States and people.
Eminently this party is to be trustee,
since it must triumph because OF the unjust
practices, the erroneous policies, ana Tue
bitter animosities and sectionaisms OF the
Republican party-a party so inyeterately
ilIberal and maliciously partial that Presl-
dent HAYES is pursued with rindictiveness
because he had the courage and Justice TO
take from off the southern people the heavy
| hand of Fedora! Injustice and tyranny. 1t
| is sufficient to know the principles OF the
Democrats to trust them for their national
and local equity; but if that were not the
fact, that great fact that they triumph over
the Republican party for its vindlctlVeness
and its sectional prosecutions would assure
the whole nation that its policy WOULD De
Just, equal, and national.
Senator HILL is right, we believe. We
are to have relief from the most otlectIona-
bic party that ever held power in the land.
And who would assist in preventing the
utter defeat OF that party: The worst re-
suit that could happen would be.the confu-
sion that would follow any material local
successes OF the one-idea parties that have
been started in the land and that are sup
ported by reckless, excited, and unreason-
ing followers OF unmeritorious and dis
honest men.
We trust that the real people-the voters
who are Taxpayers and who support them
selves, and have something to live and hope
for-will discard these improbable men
and help to swell the maj ority OF the Demo-
cratic and Conservative parties, so that the
South may stand forth as the firm and just
supporter OF the principles that have given
it relief and rest and that will continue to
maintain that justice and equality which
can alone secure harmony and prosperity to
the. land.
