The lawless classes were but too ready to begin
the dastardly work of persecution. They found IL
inaugurated rolgns OF terror, shot and killed where
shooting and killing became necessary, and so
preyed the fears of the unprotected blacks as to
practically dlsiranchise them In every locality
where the bull-dozng programme was adopted.
And the Bourbon presses and publications. instead
of demanding protection for all classes under the
laws, pronounced all charges falschoods and at
least indirectly encouraged the dasards To- further
deeds OF violence. This Is the truth, and the truth

is mentioned which, lift occurs will bring General
Hancock at once TO the front. That contingency
is the nomination of General Grant by the Repub.

which causes many Democratic journals TO declare
that General Hancock is the strongest man that
could be run against him.

GOVERNOR STEVENSON, of Kentucky,
made speech at the recent Democratic
convention in that State, from which the
following pertinent extract is made, for the
purpose of enabling our Northern Demo-
cratic friends to get an insight into the
true inwardness of Southern Bourbonism
The only promise l can give you is that rs
in the past, so In the future, shall continue tC
be what have always endeavored, both by
profession and by practice, to prove myself
State Rights Democrat Of The Virginia school
But you have another duty to per
form, and 1t is one of high responsibility, botl
as representatives of the State aud as an In
tegral part of the Coafederdcy.
OF course, the Governor alluded to Ken
tucky as an integral part of the Confed
eracy," meaning thereby that the Stat
Rights Democracy of the Virginia school,
for which the South rcbelled, has been as
serted in principle and effect within th'
United States, and that the United State
has become, practically, what the Southern
Coniederacy was intended TO be. He was
little premature, however, for it does no
yet appear, if it ever will so appear, tha
the Confederacy has seized upon anythin
more than the legislative branch Of th
Government But his outspoken effol
; serves, as we have said, to expose the tru
inwardness of Southern Bourbonism, and {
prove the truth of the oft-repeated charg
that the Southern wing Of the Democrac
is now engaged in trying to win within I'll
Union the victory they lost on the battl'
l fields outside of it. Northern war Dem'

THE Rife Clubs and shotgun plntoons in
the South are composed ofveteran Confeder-
ate soldiers. They are to be permitted,
under the Bourbon policy, to take charge Of

which is to have charge of things down that
way.
