is q very satisfactory document. Strange
as it may appear, the Democracy and
the Democratic press take the opposite
views. Aside from all psrtizan bias,
however, any honest American citizen,
having the best interests and prosperity
Of the government and country at heart,
cannot fell to indorse every sentence OF

honest In every respect.

1t 10 certain that . complete recovery
from the wounds OF the war cannot fully
pervade tho whole country until every cit
lien, rich or poor. white or black. Is secure
in the free and equal enjoyment OF every
civil and political right guaranteed by the
| Constitution and the laws. Wherever the
enjoyment OF these rights is not assured,
d~iscentent will prevail. immigration will
| cease, and the social and industrial forces
| will continue to be disturbed by the
| migration OF laborers and the constant
d%iminution Of prosperity. The national
government should exercise all its
Constitutional authority to put an
end TO these evils, for all the poo
| pie and all the States are mem
bsrs Of one body. and no member car
suffer without injury to all. The mosi
serious evils which now afiict tho South
arise from the fact that there is not such
freedom and liberation Of political opinion
and action that the minority party can or
erciss an effective and wholesome restraint
upon the party in power. Without such re-
straint party rule becomes ~tyrannical and
corrupt. The prosperity which is made
possible in the South by Its great advan'
tagss Of soil and climate will never be
realized until every voter can freely and
safely support any party he plsases.
The history Of the South. her people
and OF the conduct Of affairs. civil and
political. throughout that section since
the war even down to the present time,
fully justifes these remarks and conelu'
sions ; and even honest Democrats
which anomaly We consider possible
have to acknowledge their truthiulness
As q whole the letter Is sound and good,
giving general satisfaction to Republic
cans ON the Pacific coast as we'll al
adding to the strength OF the part,
throughout the Republic.
