The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1880-10-21

The Providence II. IL Journal se'ecseo
an unfortunate time 10 try TO establish us
proposition that II r. The southern people
who sre sectlonalisis, and not the northern.
That journal Is guilty also Of misrcprescnt
Ing ~ when Il says that the Dispatch "ss.
sumes that II the colored vote is allowed TO
BE- freely pcIlcd and fairly counted there
will be change In the political complexion
Of some Of the southern States" Here Is
what we SAID:
"The North will not allow The southern
people 4 controlling influence I'D me Ma
tioual Government until We allow the nc
rroeS like control over our State govern
meuts. In other words, they VIII never
allow us to hold office; for the moment the
negroes get control OF any southern state
that state becomes Republican, and It's
white people are excluded at once from
both national and State Offices
The journal ought to be able to see that
the implication Is that the Republicans viii
accept rs proof that the negroes are fairly
treated no other evidence than the fac, that
they hold the Offices In the southern states.
We bave said the journal had selected an
unfortunate time TO charge us with section
alism. We allude to the fact that the Re
publican papers OF the North are IN iull
cry against General WADE HAMPTON, and
charging him with being an unrepentant
rebel for 20 other reason than that he called
JONI SHERMAN liar and told bin where
he could be found. IL would hardly seem
possible that anybody could see any eyi.
dence Of "rebeIlon " In that act; but so II
IL. Here Is specimen paragraph. III IS
from the Baltimore american:
"WeII may the most gentle, patient, and
iorgiying northern man exclaim: III this
be The outcome OF reconciliation with our
southern brethren-if the wiset, the knight
iiest, aud best they have, are SO embittered
and hostile to the fundamental ideas upon
which our republic Is builded, IL will not
be safe until this generation has passed away
to entrust them with the control Of this
Government and with the destinies Of forty
millions OF freemen.' With this rash and
ill-tempered but sill frank and candid act
OF General Wade Hampton the last hope OF
q true reconciliation ends, ut least for the
present, and at the November elections the
solid South will be confronted with North
as solid as adamaDt."
Was ever such rank injustice heard OF
since the New Enganders threw witches
into the water and burned them to death II
they swan out rather than be drowned
The southern people are "hostile to the
fundamental ideas upon which our republic
Is builded" because WADE HAMPTON told
JoHY SHERMAN he lied Now, isn't that
proof Of a shameful state OF feeling at the
North, supposing the inference OF the Ame'
Ficdn 10 he truei Read it again: the
North will become Gas solid as adamant"
and elect GARFIELD as a means of reprov-
ing WADE HAMPTON for writing CD impoli-
tic note and for telling falsifer and SIAN
derer that he was iasl6er and slanderer!
The Journal says that "the solid South
will not yield obedience TO the Constitution
OF the United States meaning either that
In the South the negroes are not permitted
10 vote, or that they are "persuaded by
some sort OF coercion TO vote the Demo
cratic ticket. The negroes vote as freely in
Virginia as The whites, and are as little
afraid Of being intimidaied. Indeed, we
have no doubt that there are ten
white men driven to the polls and CON-
PEELED to vote the Republican ticket
in Rhode Island for every negro that
is induced in any way TO vote the Demo-
cratic ticket in Virginia. When State like
Rhode Island, which bulldozes its poor
white men into supporting the Republican
ticket, and which will not allow a foreigner
TO vote at all unless he owns real estate, can
have the impudence to talk to Virginia about
not "obeying the Constitution OF the United
States" it is time indeed for His Satanic
Majesty to reprove sin.
The Journal closes its arrogant article as
follows:
"Tbe North will not, il ii can help IL, give
the South the control OF the Federal Gov
eminent until 1t has shown by acts that il Is
not disposed to nullify the laws in relation
TO the revenue; that II is faithful TO the Con-
stitution; that il has abandoned the chain
gang as q means Of epsaviDg the negro;
that it is honestly for the Union and the
laws made IN pursuance of the supreme law
that IL is forever done with secession in spirit,
as we'll as IN fact, with rebellion under the
forms Of law"
That is fine talk for the bulPs-hide State
Of Rhode Island TO address 10 twelve such
States as Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri,
Georgia, &c. But 1t shows that we hit the nail
on the head when We said the other day
that the northern people feel towards the
southern people as we feel towards the me-
