A Solid South


/
ton and the overthrow Of free elections not
only there but everywhere. II is said she Is
solid. We hear IL clamorcd in our ears from
all quarters that she votes solidly against
the Republican party Let us admit she
does. New England votes about as soldly
against the Democratic party, and yet have
never heard that therefore we ought to null
| lily the Constitution and AL the rights of
tue States in the matter Of elections to get
rid Of that evil. 1t is true that the policy of
this country, which. has 50 bitterly cursed
the producer in respect to revenue and the
finances generally, has been the work of
New England greed, sectionalism and legal
lied robbery, but no body has on that ac-
count, strong as the provocatlon has been,
demanded that her people should be depriy-
"a Of free ballot People have right to
voteas they please as long "a our form of
government remains, and whoever would de-
prive them of that right is u scoundrel who
deserves death. But are you astonished that
the South Is solid politically against the Re
publican partyg Would II not be a marvel
il she were otherwseg Did you ever hear of
any branch Of the Anglo-Saxon, Celtic or
Teutonic or Sclavonic races that fawned up
on u master and willingly licked the hand
that smote them in their helplessness? |
have mingled extensively with representa-
tive men of the South since the war. They
bear no resentments against those who con-
quered them in war; Ii they did they would
be hoping for the defeat Of Ewing and the
trlcmph of Foster in this contest in Ohio.
The blows of BATTLE however are only re-.
membered and recalled bysoldiers, as Ihavc
often heard them in mutual recognition of
valor and consistency. But do not ask the
people of the Southern States to fraternize
and vote with the party which plundered
them of their remaining valuabes after they
had fallen on the field of battle; party
which, after the war was over, dnleashed
the jaelSals who Turk in the rear of armies,
the human hyenas who prey upon the dead
party which turned loose and guided to-
ward the desoatcd South all those human
vulturcs, kites, carrOn crows and scavcnger
birds, who, in the shape Of northern spolia-
tors and advcnturers have filed the world
with the disgrace of Il reconstructed South
DO you ask the people Of the South TO divide
their votes and give part Of them to such u
party as thatg II you do, you insult our
common nature and the instincts of univcr-
sal mankind. No honorable man would de-
spise man who would grant it. Dat of
their broken estates their ruined plantations
their poverty and distress, hundreds of mill
lions Of dollars were extorted by the shame
less brazen emissarics Of the Republican
party, and carried away 10 secure regions for
quiet enjoyment On this point history will
make no mistake. and record no uncertain
verdict, The blacklist pages IN the history
OF the human race contain no account of
such robberies under the form Of govern
mont Warren Hastings, in his plumber Of
the East Indies, becomes a moderate and re-
spectacle charactca in comparison with
many OF those ApaciOus wrctchcs who iiIst.

by an Italian named SobOro, but its practi-
cal application was made by Alfred, n

from the surgeons dispensary 10 the lady's

have no bearing upon the present subject we
shall abstain from noticing them. If guam

Of mlphuric acid, gyccrinc be poured into
this, and stirred carefully, the whole being
by freezing mixture, we obtain
that wonderful substance known ~ nitro

explosive force of gun powder 1t forms on

small doses produce distressing headaches.
