THE SOLID SOUTH.

In the opinion of an intelligent southerner
the most etfectual way of breaking up the
esolid South will be to elect Hancock.
What causes the south to be solid is neither
hatred of the north nor love or generation for
the principles embodied in the lost cause.
Fear is the great motor at work in solidifying
the south-fear of negro rule and negro SUI.
premacy. In the north we can have but a
faint conception OF what this fear really is,
but we may form some idea of it if we re-
member the encouragement we sometimes
experience at large city elections where great
hUrdes of the ignorant and depraved drift as
naturally into the domination of low dema-
gogues as if the training of a lite time had
placed them there. Then, if We can imagine
a community in which those ignorant and de-
PRAYED classes are IN a vast numerical major
ity, and where they are liable at any time to
obtain political control of the fortunes of the
commonwealth, we shall have an imperfect
understanding of the real condition of the
south, where the evils of such a state of al
fairs are greatly aggravated by race prejudices
compared with which the most intense 'clan-
ishusss" that ever existed is as nothing. Such
is substantially the situation of the south. Is
il surprising that the southern people should
he animated by a feeling of bitter hostility

The republicans in their desperate efforts
to turn everything to account in the manu-
facture of political capital, affect to see in the
slightly increased republican majority of
Vermont a prediction of republican victory
in the national conflict of November. But
Vermont has never been considered a test
state. The democrats no more expected to
carry it than they would expect to carry Iowa,
and as for the republican gains, those sutfi-
GENTLY close at hand TO have an understand
ing of local and personal influences figuring
in the campaign ascribe those gains exclusive
ly to such local interests, and not to any
preference tor the party having Gen. Garfield
as its fgurehead.

the republican party whose policy has

toward the republican party whose policy has
always favored a supremacy Of the
blacks over our white fellow citizens of the
south? 1t is not in the nature of a people OF
the Anglo.Saxen stock to submit to such a
domination. When statesmen of the Charles
S6mner and Thad Stevens school endowed
the negroes of the south, the product of pri-
meval barbarity descending through genera
lions of slavery, with the highest functions of
citizenship, their action in so doing was a
practical declaration to the southern people,
"Either abandon the traditions and training
of your race forget the lessons of a thousand
years and proclaim to the world that you are
not members of the race whose mission it has
always been to fight and to rule-do this by
submitting quietly to the domination of your
former slaves, or else make a resort at once to
illegal measures to protect yourselves from
the rule of barbarity which the blind PARTISAN
ship of those ignorant of your situation as
we'll as of the true interests and well
fare of the blacks has prepared for you.'
This was the alternative presented and hui
man nature must be different from what it is
before the southern people can choose a diff
ferent policy from the one they have pursued,
and are still pursuing in the matter. The
Anglo-Saxon can submit, individually or as
an entire people, to toll, hardship, want and
suffering, to 'swar, pestilence and famine
without a murmur, but they never, never
will submit to be governed by an inferior
race, and rather than bow their necks to
such a yoke they will choose determination
instead. While the republican party remains
in power the southern people will never be
free from the menace of such a danger. The
utterances of every radical organ or speaker
throughout the north,th "bloody shirt" poll
CIV, and dozens of other indications proclaim
in a manner not to be mistaken the fact that
the republican party would be by no means
averse to a restoration of the negro rule of
the carpet bag regime in its very worst days,
provided its hold on power were strengthened
thereby. Hence the unbroken front of hos
tility presented by the "solid south" to the
republican party. But with the election OF
Hancock the party in power would no longer
be in sympathy with the advocates of negro
rule. The south would then soon cease to be
solid and the country, north as we'll as south,
could divide on new party lines, on differen-
ces respecting tariff, the currency, or civil
service reform, instead of being divided on
merely sectional lines, the hope of the radi-
Gals whose ambition it is array a solid north
against a solid south. Take away the threat
of negro rule and with 1t will vanish the So
lidity of the south when, with new party di.
visions, formed without reference to past diff.
~ferences, the arrangements of the war will
be forgotten and the north. south, east aId
west will form a happily reunited people.
