THAT Il well said. The Senator's propo'
s;sions arc clearly stated and must make an
immersion upon the minds OF those OF our
aor,hern brethren who either bear his views
exnressed or read h,s published speeches
on this interesting subject. lie said OF Mr..
| q ARrIEIp that with the broadest fheoret'ca'
views Of union, peace, and harmony IN DIS
nnblIc u,terances, his practical application
| % bis own doctrines has been TO perpetuate
sec.,onalism and disunion. The Senator
alludes to Mr.. GARrIELD's public utterances
before he became acandidate for President.
HE public utterances lately have indicated
ANYTHING else than broad theoretical views
~ union. peace, and harmony. However,
he had to 90 with his party. He is too weak
TO control it, and so he lets the staiwarts
control not only his movements but his ut
terances.
Mr.. WALLACE went on to say:
"The campaign Of the Republican organ'.
zation 1. ipa,Igurated upon the old sectional
issues. Hate Is their animating idea. Their
nolicy commands them to forsake their old
marty associates South, and they unbesita-
| tinplv obey. They would be unable 10
no,nf TO solid SOUTH 10 talk OF south
ern outrayes,' TO falsifv the record and
preach q gospel Of hate il they would admit
and recognize that it was possible for them
TO carry a southern State for the Republican
| organization. In Alabama they seek the
cover OF the Greenbacker and fight beneath
his banner. 10 Virginia they properly
cover themselves beneath the banner OF re-
pudiation and reimbursement, and practically
IGNORE the teachings that belong TO great
peopIe-the national credit and State iaitn. "
"They have pursued the path OF hate and
sectionaism, and not that OF peace ana mar
mony. The Republican party has ceased TO
be national, il it ever was such. WINE tue
nation progresses, business energy REEVES,
and prospe crowns us in every section,
this great giant Polyphemus, with his eye
in the back OF ais head, can see but one sec
ton OF the country, and will not recognize
the inevitable march OF events"
"what good can come from the success
Of fba Republican organization but con-
tinnatjon OF hate, OF sectionaism, and dis
union? What can come from ours but tue
restoration of the Union, the settlement OF
all questions of sectlonalism, aud the return
| in every State to those questions OF ADMIN
istration, OF internal Improvement or tarin'
or of an economical administration wDicn
properly belong to the sphere OF govern
ment {! Their policy Is continued disuDion,
| increas ed bate, and the perpetuation OF OIL
Iterness. Ours is unIOnism, progress, ana
the restoration of business life in every Sec
ton OF the republic"
We ale glad to see that Democratic orators
are ready to bring such unpleasant truths
home 10 the minds of the northern people.
Republicanism is sectional; Democracy Is
national. Let these be the watchwords
from Maine to Texas. And let every true
Yirginian unite with the regular Demo-
cratic party In elec,ing the electoral ticket
framed by the May Convention.
