they think that the loyal people Of the North
will now go back 70 the anti-recOnstruct1oD
policy of Andrew johnson, and vote to make
it's most willing and subservient instrument the
President of these United States
There has been a period of hearty desire for
reconciliation. Rightly or wrongly, many Re
publIcans have felt that the good faith OF the
South ought to be tested by fair trial that Its
pledges to enforce the laws and protect the
rights of all citizens might perhaps be kept. II
troops and Federal control were withdrawn.
When that feeling existed, if ever, General
Hancock might have been elected, and yet
candidata who represented that sentiment i'm
measurably better was beaten. The test has
been made. Troops have been withdrawn.
The Solid South has been put upon its honor.
But every pledge has been broken, every law
has been dclicd with impunity, loyalty has
been stamped out by assassination or by fraud,
and the large power gained by the Solid South
through conciliation and confidence has been
used to block the wheels of Government to
break down barriers to free fraud in Northern
cities, and to thrust upon the country most
dangerous and revolutionary schemes. 1t is
too late for gush too late for confidence in
Southern loyalty too late for arm-n-arm Con-
late for the elger and passionate hOpcfuncSs
by which alone a nomination like that of Gen
eral Hancock could have been commended to
loyal voters. The test has been made. The
Solid South has shown itself as desperate, dis
loyal and revolutionary rs ever, and General
Hancock is now almost the thinncst disguise 1t
could have taken. If elected, he would he rs
subservicnt, as easily moulded, and us hostile
to all loyal measures for securing the results OF
the war, as no was in 1867.
No, gentlemen of the White Leagues, you
could not defeat the North in battle, and you
cannot in the field of political strife. ] he
North has learned some lessons from you within
the past twenty years. 1t has learned never to
trust man because he is the fay Orite of those
whose aims. beliefs, and feelings are wholly
hostile to its own. You, gentlemen of the
White Leagues, appear to know General Han
cock very well We of the North have only
tins knowledge of his opinions and bcliefS-that
he pleases you. For that reason, your dislOyal
and revolutionary spirit being known, he will
be beaten One month hence you will see that
you have bundcrpd again.

TIE WHITE LEdG UE EAYORJ7E

The nomination of General Hancock comes
too late. The same thing was tried in 1864,
with General Mcclellan rs a candidate, and
then it was too early. The war was not yet
over and the representative of the dislOya
South, though a distinguished Union soldier
was not tlusted. General Hancock came into
political notice in 1868, as the representative
of the White Leagues Of Louisiana, which,
with his aid as military commander had effect
ualy applied Andrew JOhnsOn's policy to the cx-
tinguishment of the loyal party IN that district
He had been ilattercd by his selection to take
command in that district in place of General
Sheridan, who had been put aside because he
would not carry out Mr.. JohnsOns policy, thwart
the reconstruction acts, and put the GRAY above
the Blue. General Hancock was made to be-
lievc that Presidency would follow if he
faithfully carried out "my policy" and became
the mOuthpiccc and defender of the cunning
and impacable BOurbOns Of the South. His
orders and letters of that period, in every line
might have Deen dictated by the secret council
of the White League Ali that man could do
as an officer OF the Government TO shield from
punishment the cOwardly assassins who were
engaged i'll cXtermnating loyalty in the South
west General Hancock did by his orders and
his refusals to act. 1t is to be presumed that he
did not know the facts. He surrounded himself
with cOtcrie of rebel politicians, and, being
politically an inexperienced and impression BILE
man, believed what they tGl him. In retdIn
for his cOmpasancc and aid, he was promised.
and after twelve year, at last receives, q nOmi-
nation for the Presidency at the hands of the
men who tired to destroy the Union.
There can be no mistake as to the influence TO
which this nomination is due Nearly every
Southern State voted to nominate General
Hancock in the Democratic Con ,entiOn Of
1868, and when that failed the Solid South
took General Frank Blair, as another Union
soldier who believed the constitutional amend
ments unconstitutional, revolutionary, aud
"vOid." The North spurned Seymour and
Blair, as it would then have sDurned GcnclaI
Hancock if nominated, or any other representa-
tive of the White League policy advocated by
Mr.. johnson. Twelve gears have passed, and
again the Solid South tries to put trusty ser
want into the White House The votes for General
Hancock were cast mainly by Southern dclcga-
tiOns Some months ago, a telegram from GER
tain White League leaders of Louisiana dis
closed the fact that they were working in
Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi. and the other
Cotton States for the nomination of their friend
of 1867 The Convention was managed, and
adrOltly rushed beyond all cool consideration
by their manGuvreS. Mr.. Kelly in New-York
and Mr.. Wallace in Pennsylvania, who wished
to beat Mr. Tilden at any cost, became the
Northern managers for the Solid South. and
will divide the honors of the victory. But do
