ocal AID Political Troubles
There ars some local questions eirihracing |
,ecsiona. matters, and some OF q national
character, waiehfare helping to prolong the |
dtsquiet of tho country; but we have seen |
Il mass through 50 many trials and escape |
them al, with as least qualified success that
We may hope With something Ike faith that 81
It will still survive at least duriag SONIC
years to cofne. ..5s;is Il. :.
Begianlng with what are really the smal.
matters which have troubled u, we may
anuse TO The race troubles that have SET tlie
scurvy politicians and the irritable ne"spa,
ners to writing. These troubles are founded
an broad bases, and are Incapable OF any
great changes. The inferior races are not D.
susceptible OF great aud Sudden Hyoiu-
lions. The moving powers are not capable
of starring things to great depth OF upon an
expansive surface. They willfemain, While
other popuIations--the white. .eaterprislng
and independent communities--will better
their condition and improve their MONIES
n,d their fortunes. Those inferior races
which are made the means OF disturbance
and agitation Yor mere party purposes CAP
NOT be driftea about ut the will OF cunning
tricksters and tsaders inpoiitics.
The deluded people, who are under pas
sion and ignorant impressions, are dtsto-.
Gated in very partial manner, and never
with anything like system, order, ana con-
sistency. and tenacity. They wilt not oe
au,e 10 1rIaIuIaInaany movement under real
energy, intelligence. and self-possession.t y.
So the disturbances OF the colored popu-
lation OF the South viii never work any
considerable change until indeed such time
instbe future as The Supreme Power may
r,oine out solution OF the trouble o. a q
mixture of races in this land. We cannot
believe that trouble can continue, and we
are firm in the conviction that the races will
be brought out OF chaos by The rearrapgeTr
ment and bomogeneity Of populations. ~.
So ali the matter about race troubles viii
sink into quiet and order, and this, grand
quarter OF the globe will be: rescued from
discord. !, .s,,..c,.,, .,,o,ss.s ''.4<tt- .''f
The excitement that continues, more or

progress "vindicate the ways OF God to
man" and place this prominently power
iul land and people in condition intact and
triumphant.
In after years, when ait the agitation that
has disturbed US SO much within few
years is over, it will be seen that it has been
The work Of fanatics and vicious partisans.
1t is plain that the misfortunes OF the war
and the poverty. Of the country haveinduced
a restiyeness and soreness Of disposition.
People are impatient Of debt apd disposed
to resort TO means to weaken the dignity
and force OF the Government.
2 But this, too, must have its end. The
family must be cherished, and the economy
OF life must be maintained. Society must
run into the grooves Of time, and peace and
order must come again. t, Society cannot
stand enduring disorder. Sooner or later
it must right itself by bloodshcd + not
in peaceful way. 49, ~ -. -" 49,
). The country is near, the day of peace, and
near the time OF coutentment and thrift.
The immense resources of this land are not
to be devastated, and the people cannot be
ruined.
The State is In the condition approaching
the restoration Of public credit, public
honor, and peace and contentment. Pow
erty, and the gradual weakening OF the
public virtue BY the effect of poverty, has
produced bad effects; and gentlemen are
prone to seek every obstacle to public pol
icy that seeks the way out Of trouble. But
that same patience and integrity which has
borne the Commonwealth thus far will
bring her through to point Of safety.
Finally, the politicians, with their wars.
are bringing before the country the dangers
that threaten our institutions. We have
everything that could forbid the idea of
placing our country in peril-a people
raised to liberty and independence, to self
government, with intelligence, knowledge,
consistency, force. and national dignity.
What but passion and, corruption should
disturb the quiet and order OF such peo-
pie? Nothing. ;i,> u ,,..t..i...a
There can be no discomfort, no desire to
fly from such a government as ours to
resort to another, save that one. part OF
the country would .usurp the freedom en-:
loved by another. Let us hope that the
better and wiser part Of the people and the
public men Will triumphantly defend our
institutions and secure tous for long time
to come the best blessings Of the greatest
nation in the civilized world.fs &:
