ical-have formed an alliance and
put forward Il fusion ticket. This
blen ding OF the good and the bad
is an erroneous idea, and is not cal
%culated to give general satisfaction
to the people, though it seems in
the counties named each faction
appears afraid of the other, and to
conciliate matters they have come
togetherand nom mated tickets COM
posed equally OF democrats and
republicans.
From all we can gather from our
exchanges throughout the State,
the old party of reform and homes
ty, the home rule party, the grand
old democratic party, will sweep
the entire State by an overwhelm-
log majority in every county where
it is organized rs IL separate party.
Yet to make the victory sure it be-
comes the duty OF every MAI who
is the friend Of honesty, low taxa
ton. equal rights to all, and i'll
favor of MissiSSIppians governing
Mississippi, to step up to the polls
and cast Il solid vote for the nomi-
ness of the democratic party of
Mississippi.

In answer to the assertion made

LET THE CONTENTION DECIDE

LII 4 II Il tON E4N ION DL1CIbLs
Some OF the great democratic
papers of the country in comment
ing upon the result OF the late
Ohio election hold that it is practi-
cally the slaughter of Mr.. Thurman
and Mr.. Hendricks as presidential
candidates. Others hold now, as
they have long held, that Mr..
Tilden cannot and ought not to be,
for one reason or another, nOmina-
ted, and that Mr.. Bayard should
not be selected because he lives in
a small State, which is already Sc
cure for the democratic ticket. All
these alleged reasons r unworthy
of consideration at this time. Any
one of the gentlemen named is
worthy of the office. So are nu-
merous other distinguished mem
bers of the party. Any M of
them, judging from present circum-
stances, may be called upon to lead
the party i'll 1880.
1t is the part of wisdom to leave
the work of killing off any of the
great lights of the democratic
party, in advance of the nomina-
ting convention, to the common
enemy, who takes a delight in such
matters. Neither should General
Hancock be written up or down be-
cause he is and was a soldier in the
Federal army. That consideration,
too, is unworthy of democracy
whose principal claim is that it is a
party of the people of every sec
ton. Let us leave to the conven-
ton of next year the selection of a
candidate, and then elect him.

TILE COMING CONFLICT.

We are continually reading III the
newspapers hints that our government
will be overthrow, and that our c6un-
try must pass through another civil
war. I have strong hopes that we
shall weather the storm. Whether
these forebodings become true prophe-
cies or not will depend upon how soon
the danger is admitted to exist. At
present the idea of danger is secuted
and laughed at. It was SO before our
conflict on slavery, which cost us thou.
sands of lives, and millions of treasure.
A large part Of both might have been
saved if the warnings of men we term
I'd fanatics had been needed. Among
the elements of the coming danger the
Liberal League, led by Robert Ing Ell
soil, viii be no small factor. IngeTsoll
talks great deal about humanity and
benevolence, and for anything | know
he may practice it, but so did Robes
pierre in France, and yet Robespiere
became a monster. So 1ngerson will
be pushed on by his followers to deeds
which he would shrink from now.
Inoersoll and his followers hate relig-
ion and in a struggle for power would
soon come to hate religious people, and
we should have to say, 90 Liberalism,
what monstrous deeds are done in thy
name" They call religion superstition
and oppose every attempt to remove
the incentives to evil, and they, if they
had the power, would in the name OF
Liberalism feel it their duty to crush
out superstition by making it CRIME
to believe in God or futurity. Again
I repeat that the opinion that we are
| too enlightened or that these men are
not such monsters, is the danger. The
| monsters Of the French Revolution
were made by circumstances, and lib
erals are just the material out of which
monsters can be made by intlaming
their passions and giving full play to
their bigotry, r.
