declarations, and stand in the attitude
of partisan villitier.
Hancock represents the pure patriot
ism of a free nation, and would wipe
out the sectional differences of the past.
He is the ideal candidate, whose Ell
forts will tend toward Il restoration OF
the Union complete in its solidarity.
Mr.. Garfield is the exponent of party
corrupt in its administration of affairs
and that seeks retention Of power at
the cost of peace and security. He
stands condemned by his own con-
stituency-a bribe-taker-and his Off
cial life is full of the vilest and black
est stains. There is Il remarkable and
striking parallelism between him and
his party.

The probabilities are, however, that

a Sectional Contest.

Stainless as to private character, and
ssspotlcss' in reputation, Gen. Han
cock is invincible to the "slings and
arrows" of partisan prejudice, fact adj
mitted by his most inveterate opposers.
The oxydation brought about by the
political temperature now prevailing,
fails to tarnish the polish Of his name
or actions, and, such being the case,
the contest is being fought, not against
him as the exponent of principles, nor
against the lofty constructions Of DEM
ocratic doctrines he maintains, but upon
a sectional basis, purely and emphat-
ically. We view no arraignment, from
this standpoint, of Hancock for the
enunciation of his orders as a military
administrator, nor do we see the Re
publican party attacking the mainten-
ance of his views as to his authority as
a governmental officer. At this day,
this would be extremely unpopular,
for in the face of the expressed revolu
ton of public feeling indicated four
years ago, no usurpative power or mill
tary despotism would meet the sane
ton of a majority of the Northern peo-
pie. Hence, the attack upon the
sssolid South''-hence, the rcmorsclcss
denunciation of the Southern people
hence, the unmitigatcd fury with which
the bloody shirt is waved.
Hancock cannot be said to have been
faithless in the civil war but the
South was rcbcllious. Hancock in the
suborlination OF II lis military authority
same, cannot be assailed with any dc
gree of FEASIBILITY before any Amcri-
can audience. His Interpretation of
our republican principles arc those of
the purest and best of our forefathers,
and his construction of our Constitu-
ton belongs to the Washingtonian age,
rather than to this. But since the
South unitcdly endorses him as her
candidate, she becomes the object of
Republican cllumny, and the worst
passions of the Northern mind are
stirred against her.
Gen. Grant says he is 4 Republican
because he believes that there are
many dcborrru III the South from Sut-
frage. Net, when he is frted by Dem
ccrats as well rs Republicans in our
Southern cities, when the hope of q
presidential candidacy glittcrs before
his eycs-when he desires Southern
votcs-erc his star falls ut the Chicago
Convention, he tells the people he
now calumniatcs, that he rcioiccs ut
the complete restoration of peace and
harmony. In his opposition TO De
mocracy, does he assail Gen. Hancock:
Docs he dcnouncc the immortal aphor-
isms of constitutional liberty which
actuatcd him during his official career:
Does he invcigh against the pure
Democratic principles he lays down,
and which belong to no other party,

He said that the report of the
engineers who have been survey.
ing the route of the road in the
vicinity of New Orleans had been
received, aud would be acted on
at the meeting. The chief of en-.
gineers of the road will arrive
shortly from England, and the
work Of laying the road bed would
commence Immediately thereafter.
Mr.. Wolfe has been on u trip to
the East, and showed the reporter
the following statement, published
in Cincinnati paper:

line from Meridian to New Orleans,
will serve simply as an extension

varied as they are numerous. She
will become the central point be.

gether by IA line many miles shorter
than any other existing route; the
common center from which the two
great lines radiate, and within
whose borders all the enormous ex-
change and transfer business will
be carried on. 1t will also benefit
us, in that it will make this the
distributing poiut for the enormous
products of early vegetables, etc,
the cultivation of which will be de
veloped by the demand from the
two great cities.
1t is learned on authority that
all arrangements for the building OF
the road have been completed, and
the site of the depot and the route
in New Orleans definitely located.
The engineers are at work, and
as soon as they are ready to report
the public will learn more about
the road.
