u BECAUSE OF the JaSted North, the
.>Oid North, against Il solid South. That
il the reason We have Il solid South.
Adversely unites and dement's the
strongest friendships. The tendency
of the Northern hatred and defamation
il To unite and strengthen the ties, and
create new ones that will sOlidifv us
more and more, as an expelient for our
successful industries in the future. Ii
Is no fancy sketch drawn in spite of
disappointment. Ii il no lille dream of
a fanciful brain. Let every sensible
man with any business experience HIM
self in the situation of the owner Of all
the cotton, tobacco, sugar, rice, corn
and wheat of the South, and vast herds
of cattle and sheep Of the Southwest
(omitting the grain of the West, with
his market across the Atlantic What
would he the most natural, the most
sensible, the most prudent step for him?
Would il not be to open up ut once
communications directly with his Gus
tom: Most assuredly it would. Then
why does the South employ the North
ern banker, broker and shipper to inter-
cede with transatlantic customers for
the sale of her products, when sh i
nearer, has rs good ports, as cheap in
ternal transit, and every other facility
to do her own banking, brokerage and
shipping, except the capital? II is be-
cause her people We're ruined, bankrupt,
penniless at the end of the late war;
and the Northern ShylOcks got such
hold upon them by mortgages upon
their lands, all they had left,l that
they have until now been placed under
obligations to them. These obligations
are now being rapidly discharged. II
will not much longer he the ease that
the Southerner will he supplicant for
Yankee favors. He is naturally honor
able, and has borne his humiliation with
silent forbearance. He i also proud
and chivalrOus-yea, though derisively
Yankee a. the Southern chivalry."
The true SouthrOn will never blush, nor
will the impartial historian be ashamed
to own the Southern chivalry," ~ the
highest type of American society.
When free from their mortgages of
the North, rs the southern people soon
will be, through the blessings of Provi-
dence in sending in season the seed
time and harvest To their material
building up, they will not fail to real
ize the Importance of the subject 81 inn
perfectly treated.
Having only the desire to sound the
note of glad tilings to the millions of
freemen, who have been defeated by
the endorsement of public fraud,
self-cOnvicted, criminal, by deluded
people to the public disgrace Of this
great country for the President of the
United States for four years to come,
note the contrast, and no comment is
necessary to feel the burning shame that
must mantle every American brow
when confronted on foreign shores with
the spectacle of the American expert
ment of free government.
\ convicted criminal chosen as Presi-
dent of the United States upon the cry
of a solid North against a solid South
defeating man whose character, both
public and private, is absolutely above
eprOach-simply because he was mag
unanimous and patriotic enough, to At
cord to his fellow countrymen, although
Southern-born, equal constitutional
rights of citizenship with the Northern
money-getting patriot e..
Had the Southern people been 80 lost
to propriety or policy as to offer one Of
their number for the Presidency or
Nice-Presidency, what man or hoy with
in the wide domain of this country is
so ignorant as not to know that the
whole North would have stood aghast
at the reasonable designs of the bloody
rebels, and probably have called for a
convention of Northern Governors to
consider of measures To suppress the
second rebellion:
To the singing disgrace of the cleo
ton of man convicted by court and
council of his own personal and polti-
cal friends of criminal practices, and
recorded in the public archives Ola ma
ton with big y, which would confine
a less influential person to the cells of
dungeon; a stupendous wrong has been
inflicted upon the great producing class
of our countrymen, which they will
not, perhaps, realize until they have
suffered irreparable injury.
The Republicans claim they have
achieved a victory on the tariff ques-
ton; that they have been endorsed by
the people in the protective principles
of the tariff. This isa stupendous fraud,
and must work harm to the whole pro-
ductive energies of the nation; every
woman and child who is producer Of
raw material or articles of consumption,
must pay dearly for this deception. Ii
will he so severely felt before the four
years of Gartield's term expires as to
cause such a condemnation OF Republic
canism a. has never been heard i'm this
nation before. BY that means. after
the endurance of the evil, the people
may become eXperimentally familiar
lied with the iniquity of protective
tariff so thoroughly that they will has

of revenue tariff only.
