Whilst tho fears Of the capitalists and manu-
featuring monopolists Of the North may have
had something TO do with producing the result
Of the recent elections, there is DO conceivable
doubt about tho fact that hatred and fear
Of tho solid South was the principle cause. We
havs been Informed BY democrats who were
recently engaged in ADVISING Ohio and To-
diana. that after making their speeches and
when sitting in the hotels talking with intel
ligent and sotiabls gentlemen to whom they
bad been introduced, that the purport of the
replies to the questions they would ask about
the probable effao. they had produced would
almost Invariably be. "Oh, you mads au excel
lent speech, bu: il y6u were Cicero ard Demos
themes c:mbined. the existence of the solid
South would render impossible tho production
of the effeot you DESIRE" end that when they
would try to eoavicce anau OF the benefits that
would result from change 10 the administration

up the solid South must necessarily be to turn
