Must VIC also present the broad back of the North in abject attitude to the curling lash? Must we let the solid South rule The nation as well? Are the financial theories of Louisiana and Virginia to be car
 ried 10 Washington, and spread like pail of death on the national credit and honor? Shall the south Carolina mode Of managing eleclions-that of maSsacTelng the repubh- can oppOsit;on- toe introduced into northern communities? shall the southern theories sf government-neyer really abandoned- be now engrafted upon the national policy, and so transform our compact snd peaceiui nation into thirty-eight Neak-sovereignitles, tied with a rope of sand2 lOTeat cheerlng.l
 These are the issues of the hour. and not
 mere questions of personal preference be- tween men. l honor the bravery and re- spect the ability of Gen. Hancock, but l do not like the political company he Keeps lap

 i was good deal amused the other day in reading a report of d speech made by ''Oy. Walker, of Virginia, tO a Northern audience, in which he senleuLousIy and apparently with perfect caBdOr stated the situation thus: ! The solid south l. d result of the republican party. Disbaud the republican party and | there will no longer be a solid south He might with equal logic have said, prison | luii of criminals k the result of hired prison | guards; dismiss all the guards and the | prison will no longer be filled with cTimi- l nals.

 Fellow Republicans, these memories | are yours. You have deserved to retain 1 power in every Vart of the country which
 Was preserved by your fidelity and your ] EaloT. Your antagonists m the civic contest before you are the same you once met upon the laUie field. They are niled with the old spirit, and in the south at least, they are sounding he old war crIes. Leiyour hearts then be 1lled HIth the old fire. Close ranks, Colum forward! One more passionate throb of the drums and against you ''the gates of hell shall uot pIeyaIi.' lGreat applause.
