Must Keep Back Seats or Get
Out--Secess,on StillAlive.
The "solid South is the controlling
power in the Democratic party. 1t Is
the head and body of the Organization,
while the northern part Ia merely the tall.
As the tail never wags the body, we
must 90 to the South TO Ind true dem
| ocratic sentiment. If we want TO get
at the true inwar,iness OF what dem
oeraric administration will DO, we must
study the ntterances and views OF the
Southern Brigadiers. They have ruled
the democratic party in the past, and
they rule IL now, and will heucefOrth
forever. The South is lighting for a
principle-the North for the post offices.
The North is a mere guerilla Organizs-
ton, lighting independent OF the main
army. 1t is TO the main army that we
must look for the genuine tactics Of the
| enemy.
We are anxious to help the readers of
the Journal to a just appreciation of
the value of their votes. Hence the
| quotations which follow, representing
Southern sentiment. Our first quota
| ton is from a communication in the
Memphis Apalanche.
| ssThe fact Ia, before we can expect the
prosperity of the good old days before the
| war In the South, we must have the same
hOmOgeneity Of public sentiment. As
regards questions relating to the negro,
we must have but one party, and that
the Democratic party. White men who
dare to svow themselves here as Repub-
llcans should he promptly branded as
the bitter and malignant enemies Of the
South. The name Of every Northern
man who, like Eaton and Bigelow, pre-
sumo In this community to aspire to
office, through Republican votes, should
be saturated with stencil. We can
spare all such. and would caution such
as these who think of coming South to

"You, Mr.. Editor, must hang out
again your smallpox flag and rid our
| community of such yermin.
"YOu may think me little bold In
using such language upon the anniyer-
sary of our flight from the yellow fever
in 1879. The North, to be sure, sent ns
some money, but We scorn the imputa-
ton of beggary. The North but re-
turned little of the money it stole
from us during the war.
"N0, sir, we must put an end forever
to this shameless efirontery of Northern
men or Republicans aspiring to Office in
the South. They must keep back seats,
and very quiet ones, or get out.
'I was glad to see you let your cor
respondents loose upon that blatant

must be rendered Infamous and Odi0us.

Wade Hampton, a prominent leader Of
the Hancock forces. 1t is copied from
a speech recently delivered at Staunton,

You never find these things In yOul
northern Democratic organ. They are
hid from the readers of northern dem
Ocratic papers. Could they be read by
all the people Hancock would find nG
support In the North outside of the old
copperhead element. That element Is

with the sentiment Of the "solid South.
