As long, says the Vicksburg Herald,
as Northern men' attempt to regulate the
local affairs of the Southern States 40 long
will it remain solid. 1t differs on "ques-
tons of finance and governmental reform"
tariff and the rest, just as the North does,
but it does not differ, and never will differ,
about the necessity of having its local
offices filed with intelligent, honest men,
as far as that be possible. If the best
men in the South, aiding the best men in
the North to elect one of the best soldiers
and purest statesmen in the North to the
Presidency, in preference to selecting q
man with a dirty record, and who thinks
it his party's business to aid to place in
competence in control of local affairs in
the South, "is to threaten the power and
authority of the government" the Repub-
lican party will have to make the most OF
it. The threatening business comes from
the Republican party.
Soon after Horace Greeley had signed
the bail-bond of Jefferson Davis as an
earliest OF his desire to kill sectional ami.
mosities, says the World, the Union
League Club gave him notice through its
President, Mr.. John Jay, that special
meeting had been called to consider his
conduct, at which it would be well for
him to attend. Mr.. Greeley contemptu-
ously declined in memorable letter 10
which he deied Mr.. Jay and the stall
warts of the club to attempt 70 expel
him. The upsbot left them, we grieve TO
say, in rather ridiculous position. One
sentence of this memorable letter il not
likely to be reprinted just now 10 = the
journal founded by Horace Greeley" We
reprint il for the benefit Of independent
Republicans =; /" Your attempt 70 base :
