man is strong enough to carry that load,
The mere suspicion of the favor Of those
brigadicrs would have been sufficient in
itself to excite prejudice. But when they
throw of all restraint, indecently rush to
the front, and have the etirontcry to tell
rs who must be nominated and supported
because he Is their choice, tins prejudice
is converted into n sentiment still more
animated.
If, after allthe experience Of the last ten
years, they have not acquired OmInon
sense enough to take back seats, and to
keep their mouths shut, then the real and
discreet friends Of Mr.. Ba}ard, If lie has
any, should teach them the value of a
paddock, and pray early and late to be
saved from tho hot zeal Of such iudiscrect
allies,
As II Southern man, whose personal and
Inherited Sympathics with his own section
during the rebellion were never concealed
for deception has no part in his charac-
tcr-Mr. Bayard, as an aSpiraut for the
presidency, has weight enough of his own
to carry in that race without being haudi-
capped 10y Hampton, Butler, and the other
brigadiers. The recent elections teach one
lesson above all othcrs-that the people
who fought Tor and who preserved the
Union do not mean that its enemies shall
rule over them in this generation.--Ne1c
York SEa.
The above is an extract from a
long editorial in the New York San
of the 18th, and we give it to our
subscribers that they may read for
themselves and know the senti-
ments Of a paper which claims a
larger circulation in Mississippi
than any paper published in the
State. There are hundreds Of Mis-
siSSippi democrats who take and
read this New York sheet and
think they are taking a democratic
paper that is friendly to us, while
in reality it is a worse enemy to
our people and section than the
vilest Of the radical papers pub
Iished north of Mason and Dick
sons line. With this class of
Northern democratic papers the
Southern democrats are good
enough to vote Tor the man who
may be nominated by the Northern
democracy, but when Southern
men dare express their preference
for a man who may be friendly to
the South, or who has Southern
sympathieS, then they are immcdi-
ly changed into "Southcrn briga-
diers," whom the North look upon
as the greatest fcnds li1ing-a
class at once dangerous to the
cause of the Union, and who are
dreaded and feared by the mass Of
the Northern people, both demo
cratic and republican.
We hear and read a great deal
about our democratic friendsin the
North about bridging the bloody
chasm about the Union of the
North and South and much more
of such sweet talk ; but the fact is
the South has few real friends in
the North, and all of her enemies
are not to be found in the ranks Of
the republican party, either. We
vertically believe that if Il Southern
man should be, by some miracle,
nominated for the presidency, there
would not be found half a dozen
Northern democratic papers that
would support him. Yea, these
sheets would use all their influence
to defeat such IA nominee. Such
democracy, and such friends, are
unworthy the name.
But a word or two with reference
to our Southern people supporting
such Northern papers as the Saa,
and at the same time refusing to
support their home papers: These
Northern papers publish a great
deal of matter, give the news OF
the Northern States, and put the
subscription price down very low,
| but what satisfaction is it to a man
of jackson, or any other county OF
Mississippi, to learn OF all the muir
derS, divorces, casualties, etc, TAX
ing place every day in States a
thousand miles away, and yet not
know what is TRANSPORTING i'll his
own county and State. These
papers do not help build up South
ern industries and enterprises, care
nothing for our people, except so
far as they can make something
out of them, and never lose an OPP
pOrtunity to SANDER and abuse
them. 1t is the first duty of citi-
zens to support their home papers,
and home enterprises of all char
acters, then after that is done, if
they have money to spare it would
not be inconsistent in them to sub
scribe for outside papers.
There are, no doubt, men in
every county in the State who take
their county paper for years with
out paving for it, aud at the same
