northern states and compare their Repuoii-
can msiorities With the Democratic MAORI
tIes In ibe southern States. In such COM
nsrjsou the northern Republican evidences
Of hate toward the South dwindle into IN
significance beside the southern Democratic
testimony OF rancor against the NORTH.
Now isn't tina, pretty talk for southern
Iournal, which knows that the South 10
kept solid By the wrongs committed against
Il In the North, aud for no other reason;
which knows that the Virginia staple to-
tacco Is taxed to the exteut OF millions
upon millions OF dollars annually; which
knows that impoverished Virginia pays
double as much internal.reyenue taxes as
All the rich New England States put toge-
Their: which knows that the Democrats dare
not run q southern man for Vice.President
much less for President; which knows how
the South was abused day by day through
out the late campaigns In Ohio and In
diana; which knows that negro suffrage
was forced upon the South; which knows
that CoxKLIxG. EvARrs, and the other Lead
ers Of the Republicans Ia the current cam
paigD, rs well as the Republican papers In
the North, all confess by their acts that the
strongest card they can play Is abuse OF the
southern "rebels"; which knows that
General WADE HAMProY's and General
FrTz Legs speeches have been misrepre-
scented throughout the North and used as
the strongest Of electioneering documents
because these speeches contained some re-
ferences to SToNEwALL JACKSON, ROBERT T..
LEE, and other southern soldiers; which
knows, Ia word, that the South Is the Ire
land OF America. We propose, after giving
Che following short extracts from the Alex.
andria Gazette, to let our readers see some
specimens OF the campaign utterances OF
the three most influential men In the Repub.
lican party--GRAYT, EvARrs, and C0NKLING.
The Gazette says:
sTbe elections in Ohio and Indiana prove,
among other things, that the majority OF the
people in those States and in most OF the
States Ia the North hate and fear their Eel
low-citZens OF the South, have no conf
dence in their professions OF loyalty TO the
Union and interest In the welfare OF the
country, and will endorse any legislative,
judicial. and executive action that will in
lure them individually either in their per-
sons or property, and damage the section OF
country 10 which they reside. In other words, |
they prove that though the war has been |
over for fifteen years, aud the South has en- |
dured untold degradation and suffering, |
majority OF their conQuer0rs are utterly |
devoid OF the quality OF magnanimi,y, and |
are anxious TO inaict upon them still further /
indignities aud injuries. Nothing will pls-
cate them but a dissolution OF the solid |
South. They are deaf to all arguments, and |
will not listen to ANYTHING. they say, as
long as the solid South exists. Now, as a
dissolution OF the solid South means giving |
the control OF some OF the southern States |
TO silly, ignorant, and vicious negroes, who |
compose the only strength the Republican |
party has in this section, the idea OF it can.
not be entertained for moment"
That's true bill. The Gazette also says :
"This gospel, which teaches the people |
OF the North TO hate, and, by patent in-
ference, to fear their fellow-citizens OF the |
South, was the chief cause OF the recent
Radical successes 10 Ohio and Indiana, aud
1t will be the most powerful lever the Radi-
Gals will employ in the North next Novem.
Der. In bis letter to the Boys in Blue, read |
ut Indianapolis the day before the election.
Secretary Sherman said: Il consider that
we are now all soldiers in the same cause |
for which you fought during the war, and |
that 1t 10 as important that we should sue
ceed now as IL was that you and your COM
rades should succeed In putting down |
the rebellion The Radical newspa- |
pers, In their notices of the reception |
OF the recent election returns In their |
cities, say 'The news OF Democratic re-
verses in the West was received with very |
much the same kind OF enthusiasm as that
which In the old days was provoked by the |
bulletins from the seat OF war announcing /
some great rebel defeat The address OF
the chairman OF the Republican Congress
sional Campaign Committee says the Re- |
publican victory in Ohio and Indiana |
smeans a solid North against vindictive, |
fair aud correct evidences OF the real state Of
popular feeling In the North. That they
are 50 is unfortunate, for the least discern |
Ing man can see that they bode no good TO
any interest Ia the country but that OF the |
Radical ofhce-bolders."
The Wig knows that the South acts on |
the defensive; that she would gladly divide |
on politico. economical questions IL the
North would let her; that we are kept to-
gether by oetside hostile pressure; that we
have never wronged the North la any man.
ner, nor ever even tried 10 wrong her. but |
that the NORTH has committed all the wrongs |
that have ever been done as between the |
two sections; that the South Is the lamb |
drinking out OF the stream below where the |
wolf Is standing, and cannot possibly mud
dy the stream above the wolf.
We know that the northern people do not |
hate or mistrust any particular seuthern
man. excepting few leaders. Tbey feel
towards Us as We feel towards the negroes.
No white mau ia Hirgioia dislikes the ne
grocs personality. Nearly all OF us emQloy
negroes and trust them in certain eapaci-
ties. We pay them money and sometimes
lend it to them. Yet We do not regard them
