The following remarks were recently made
by the Hon. r. II. Kidd, before tho convention

A SEN SIBLE VIEW,

The Alexandria (ya.) Gazette, which has
heretofore exhibited strong Democratic pro-
clivites, has become disgusted, and spits
upon the present Democratic party in the
following vigorous terms;
That the Democratic party, that is, as rep
resented by its present leaders, has fallen from
the high estate 1t once held In the estimation
of the people of the country, is an assertion no
less true than trite 1t was once inspired by
principles which, though not sound In their
entirety, and some of which have not stood
the test OF time, were honestly believed and
conscientiously advocated under the firm con-
viction that their practical operation would
rebound TO the greatest good of the greatest
number All that, however, has now chan ged
and instead Of proferring defeat with honor aud
ustiGable consistency, II Is induced by its over-
weoning aud frantic desire for office to renouncc

THE MISSISSIPPI FARCE.

As was to have been anticipated, the
mockery of trial Of GULLY for the MUIR
der of Judge CHISHOLM and his son and
daughter ended in verdict of acquittal.
This is a sad commentary on American
jurisprudence and justice. There was no
lack of proof of the murders, which were
the most barbarous known to history
Neither could there have been a shadow of
doubt of GULLYs guilt as one of the muir
derers Public sentiment forced q trial, or
none would have been held-while local
sentiment brought an acquittal at the bar
of Justice without the slightest regard to the
guilt or innocence of the accused. The
court went through the hypocritlcal forms ol
a mock trial more as an insult to the cause

THE Oltolona Southern States is up on its

THE able paper from the pen of FRED.
DOUGLASS upon the colored exodus, which
wasread before the Social Science Association

ing that it was not possible to do more than
give it paragraph allusion. We give it at
considerable length this morning, and COM
mend it to careful pcrusal. The subject is lib
orally and philosophically discussed, taking
in both sides, but it will scarcely reconcile
the colored race to remain in the South and
endure all the wrongs that are heaped upon
them beyond the time they can escape.
