The rank and Gle Of the Democraey
are discouraged and dowhhearted, and
the worst of it is, that the discourage
ment does not come because Of the re-
cent Democratic defeats, (for the De-

feats the last twenty years., but it i,
the result of the conviction that our
most trusted leaders think more of
indiDilual success than they do OF
party success, or the welfare of the
people. We say the recent Democratic
defeats; ;wou Id not alone work the deep
seated discouragement, because, since
1860. the Democratic party has known
nothing but defeat in national elec-
tions.
Since the last Presidential election
it has been plain to anyone of average
intelligence that there existed such
sntagouism between the great leaders
of the Democratic party that united
action was next to impossible.
Tilden. either as n President elect or
as Presidential candidate. was 40 ob
jectionable and obnoxious to such
leaders as Hendricks, VOORHEES,. Thur
man. Beck-aud. in fact, the major
ty of Western and Southern Demo
cratic leaders, that it was to them
almost as bitter pill to swallow
him as to swallow Hayes or any other
Republican. Hence, when Hayes
made peaceful overtures to the South,
in the shape of Withdrawing the sol
diers and thereby seating Hampton
and Nichols. all these leaders we're ca
silly persuaded to accept the Electoral /
Commission which seated Hayes
These are the facts of the current
history of the past three years.
THden's availabili,y-his heretofore
conceded ability to carry the grea,
Stale OF New York. aud the conviction (
on the part OF ar least foar million vo
ters that he was in truth fairly elected .
President of the United States aud I
wrOpgfully cheated out of it, kept bin
(Tildeu) before the American people /
as the one great ceu,ra! Democratic
head aud the one certain to be the
next Democratic nominee.
Therefore, these great leaders, who
were arrayed against Tilden, deter
mined to obscure the Issues which
kept him as the great head of the par
ty, commenced their work in Congress IS
TO precipitate other issues upon the
country, believing that these other is
sues would bring other leaders to the
front to make up the next Presidential
ticket. 10 pursuance of this determi-
nation to kill the old ticket, Mr.
Hendricks, 10 advance, published q
card declining a re- nomination on
ticket with Tilden. The purpose aud
object of all this is cow as plain as the
pose ou the face. G, to kill Tilden,
even if i, destroyed all chance of Dem
oeratic success in 1880.
Well, the result is before the coun-
try-we've been whipt on all sides aud
ia every direction, and We all see that
it was the legitima,eaud only result of
these divisions. diss ensions aud rivalry
of our great leaders. A II the rank and
file can do is to shut their eyes and
blind!y follow !
But wherefore should we continue
20 blindy follow such blind leader
ship?
We answer
Only because the Republican party
is so much the more Objectionable that
we have no where else to 60 and no one
else to follow.

JUICE BLoDGETr, of the United
States District Court, has decided that
a man once a member Of cooperative
life insurance society is always liable.
That withdrawal, suspension, &c, does
not stop his liability for assessments.
If this decision is correctly reported,
it will cut figure in the success of
these orders. This does not apply to
benevolent societies.

The cotton crop this year, 10 IS estmat-

the tobacco crop 1900, 900 pounds more

Every conceivable interest demands
the obliteration of seciionalism in this
country There is no justification or
excuse, North, South, East or West,
for sectionalism The solid sentiment
of the people of the whole country is
against it; and hence the great win
ming hobby of one political party
against another is to charge that the
other IS sectional, and whenever the
charge can be made to appear plausible
to the people it is sure defeat to the
party against which it is made. Why
is it then, in the face of this united
solid public sentiment against section
alism, that it yet dominates all other
issues2 Each political party Processes
to decry it, each and every candidate
professes to abhor it and to deuounce
it as a crime in his opponent or his
opponents party. and no public man
or newspaper can be found anywhere
to defend or excuse it, These are facts
which we oil know, and yet when po
litical parties have formulated the is
sues, and political leaders have manip
ulated the campaign, aud the votes are
counted, the result invariably shows
that seetionalism cut the most impor-
tant figure 10 the election. When the
people profess their opposition to sec
,ioDalismf- are they acting deceitfully
and hypocritically2 IF so, who are
they deceiving but themselves? On
the other hand are the people such
tools that, Notwithstanding they are
honestly opposed to sectionalism, they
can be mSDipulated into a false posi-
ton at every election by the politicians
aud candidates We think neither
position is true. But, in our opinion,
the cause rests in the fact that, the
Judgment a1d good sense of the people
is convinced of the wrougfulness OF
sectionalism, and yet the bias of edu-
cation warps this free Judgment, and
politicians knowing this ply the public
mind to vitalize this sectional bias, and
all for their own selfish ends. Here
is the milk in the cocoanut. The
South suffers broad liberal peaceful
public sentiment to assume the ap
Pearance OF sectionalism because of
supposed sec,ioualism 10 the North,
and vice versa. What the people have
got 20 do is to throw these sectional
politicians overheard and assert their
own broad, liberal Judgment.
