SOLID SOUTH poCTRINE.

The Meriden (Miss.) Mercury thinks it
useless to disguise it's real sentiments any
longer, evidently regarding the battle as
lost. 1t rails venomously against the
North, and urges its readers to make no
more cowardly concessions that secession
was revolution and folly; no more self
accusations of having committed trea-
"son." Since the North refuses to believe
the professions OF the South 1--WE did not
know until now that the South had made
any, the Mercury advises its friends to
abandon all ideas of national existence,
and devote themselves to clarifying State
sovereignty. 1t says: +" Let us cease to
concern ourselves about the national
"credit, neither upholding nor pulling it
"down. So if it can stand without our
"active concern about it, let it stand. and
welcome and ii it can't, let it fall and
I" be id. Discourage the idea that
position in the Federal Government is
"higher than one in the State Govern
"ment. Elevate the State pride until
lone feels it more honorable to be
ga Mississippian than citizen of the
Omitted States. The popularity of this
advice is that it is an adjuration to do pre-
cisely what the Southern people have
always done, and what has been the fruit
full origin OF all their woes. It is this
mistaken and pernicious sentiment of State
pride which has drawn a line of separation
about the Southern States, has given them
a special and lower civilization than the
rest OF the country, and has retarded their
progress generally. 1t is the consciousness
of the survival OF this State pride which
has led the North to distrust the South,
and has complicated all the relations be.
tween the two sections. If the South
listens to the advice OF the Mississippi
journal it will simply proceed in the path
it has already trodden for itself, and it
will justify and indicate all the distrust
and doubt which have existed heretofore.
State pride is the curse of the South, and
it will have to be lived down before the con-
fdence of the American people can be re-
stored to that section, or the possibility of
its advent to power can be regarded with
out apprehension.

DR.. PRIME AND TEE CHILDREN OF
TIE PERIOD.


DR.. Prime has been ventilating his
disguss with the children of the period in
the Observer, and truly the facts upon
which he bases his structures are somewhat
strong. He says he passed his summer at
one Of the largest hotels of an Eastern
watering place, and had only too much op-
portunity OF watching the conduct Of the
children, who swarmed all over the house
After describing the riotous ways of the
creatures Dr.. Prime says that on enc occa-
sion he demonstrated with the landlord,
and received this reply: 1.-The parents
teach them to be saucy and rude and
profane. l spoke to child four years
"old in the presence of its mother, re-
proving him for misconduct, and, to my
horror, the little rascal turned and swore
:" at me His mother laughed, and said,
as how funnyl' 1t is an everyday matter
81 for children to tell men to go to -

;, mothers seem to think it very smart for
their children to use such words and to
have such Manners At another
hotel DR.. Prime says he saw
several tables occupied by children
playing gambling games of cards,
and that they evidently understood the
games, and were as expert at them as
grown people. Such are some of the rea-
sons he gives for apprehending that the
rising generation is not being trained up in
the way it should go. The defect of his
generalizations consists in their too wide
application. It may, and indeed must be
granted, that all children brought up as
indicated above, are spoiled, and that the
chances of their becoming good and useful
men and women are very meager. But on
the other hand the proportion of such i'll
brought up children to the whole popula-
ton must be very small, and while no
doubt they illustrate an exaggerated form
of a real tendency, the exaggeration must
not be disregarded. At the same time 1t is
undeniable that the past generation has
been led, perhaps by simple reaction, but
perhaps though the influence OF mis-.
understood modern philosophy, to
treat children with laxity highly
prejudicial to their characters. 1t
may be doubted whether the strongest
character of which we have any knowledge
could have passed unscathed through such
an ordeal of fattery and adulation and
weak submission as numbers of uniformed
childish minds are nowadays subjected to.
If the children who are so brought up
develop into selfish, mean, cold hearted,
unprincipled men and women, their educa-
ton MAJ be much more to blame than their
original dispositions. 1t is nonsense to i'm
agine that the years of growth and forma-
ton can be misused, and that a noble
character can then be established upon the
distorted and perverted foundations. The
children are dependent largely for their
development upon the parents, aud if the
latter are too ignorant or foolish or weakly
indulgent to cultivate their self denial and
reverence and wholesome ambition, it must
not be wondered at that they lack these
essential qualities when they grow up.

A SIGNIFICANT DEMONSTRATION.

The way the New York business men
turned ou5 to hear Colonel Ingersoll's
speech the other day indicates the pro,
found feeling which exists throughout
mercantile snd financial circles at the East
in regard to the issues of this campaign.
No Presidential election since the close Of
the rebellion has ELECTED 50 much interest
and activity in these circles. The fact is
that the business men realize the magni-
tude Of the issue at stake, and perceive
that Democratic success at this time
would almost Immediately produce results
little if at all less disastrous than failure
Of the crops or = financial panic. And
therefore they are everywhere rsllying to
the support of the Republican ticket. aud
will swell the majerities of Garfield far
beyond ordinary votes all over the country.

HANcsck oN GETTYSBURG.


General Hancock has magnanimously
stated that he was not the hero Of Gettys-
burg. Considering that nobody would ever
have thought Of him ia that capacity but
for his nomination at Cincinnati, this con
cession Is amusing. He does not, however,
appear to remember that any person BY
the name Of Meade was in the peighbOr-
hood of The battle-ground on that occasion,
and this is rather more singular than his
iselaimer OF personal heroism. In fact
the details Of tie battle which have been
recalled and elaborated in consequence Ct
his nomination leave it doubtful whether
he is justified in Ginning an equal rank
with the unnamed heroes OF the great en-
gagement.

THE MoREY LETTER FORGERY.

We have before us a fac simile of the let
ter alleged to have been written by Gen.
eral Garfield to Morey. The evidence that
it is forgery sticks out all over it. A
perfectly conclusive proof is the bad SPELL
ing to be found in it, General Garfield is
an educated man and practiced writer
The idea that he cannot spell English is of
course untenable. But in this short letter
there are three gross mistakes in the SPELL
ing of simple and familiar words. The
word companies" is spelled "com-
"panys ;" the word religiously" is
spelled religeously;" and the word
" economy is spelled ecomoney"
General Garfield is incapable of
committing such blunders, and they alone
are sufficient to demonstrate the fraudulent
character of the letter. There are also
many points which an expert would at
once perceive to be indications of forgery,
and the imitation of the Government
stamp on the envelope is quite plainly
clumsy copy of the Postofiice instrument.
The date on the stamp has evidently been
so tempered With as to be purposely illegi-
bic, the year alone being made sufficiently
plain to be read. This leads us to one OF the
most palpable s1bterfuges of the Democratic
rascals who are trying to bolster up the
fraud They pretend to have evidence
that such man as Morey did live at
Lynn, and that there was such an organ
ization as the Employers Union there,
but they take care not to say a0hen Morey
lived, or aohen the Employers Union ex-
listed. They produce evidence which pur.
ports to prove that somewhere about 1876
Morey and the Union were to be found,
but they produce no evidence to show that
either were surviving in January, 1880,
when this letter is pretended to have
been written. OF course the proof that |
Morey was alive four years ago, or that
the Union was then in existence, can
have no bearing on this case. What |
the forgers are called upon to prove is that
the man and the organization were -four
ishing in January of the present year.
The whole affair, however, is gross aud |
palpable fraud The scoundreI who wrote |
the letter has dexterously avoided |
prosecution for forgery by writing j. a.
Garfield, instead of ]. A. Garfield, at
the end of it. The small al" in the |
name is even dotted, and thus the
law is evaded at the same time
that the malignant purpose of the act
is hoped to be accomplished. We should
be quite willing to give the whole case to
the country on the appearance of the letter
itself, for we are thoroughly satisfied that
no man whose Judgment was worth ask
ing, or whose honesty was at par, would
hesitate half minute to pronounce it a
forgery on its face. 1t is in short another
and probably the last, of the long series of
which the Democratic party has
in this campaign. and, like its
it is destined to react dis
upon the shameless tricksters
who are responsible for it.

PERHAPS.

Among the minor incidents of the cam
paign is paragraph describing General
HancOck's agreeable prattle about the pres
ents which have been sent to him by ad-
mirers since his nomination. One of these
presents is cane sent to him from Oregon.
This cane appears to perplex the General.
1t has carved head which he cannot make
out. "What this carved head means. he is
represented as saying, puzzles me. Per
haps, dear General, your friends in Oregon
have sent you the counterfeit presentment
of Copperhead. That might be thought
appropriate by some people, and yet you
might be puzzled to make it out

AN INcIsIys SENTENCE.

Colonel Bob. Ingersoll, in alluding to
the Morey forgery in his speech to the
business men of New York, observed
They appealed to the sword in 1850.
Now they appeal to the pen." 1t was an
incisive thrust, and the fact shows how far
the Democratic party has fallen in morals
since 1860. From fighting to forging is
lamentable descent, but it is nevertheless
the descent they have made.

DuIlng all this time 10 progressive or
enlightened policy Of any kind has pro-
ceeded from the Democratic party, but
every step in advance has been made by
the Republicans against strong Democratic
opposition. As to the Republicans, they
could claim that it was necessary to the
welfare of the country to preserve the exist
ing condition of things, because it was clear
to all that this condition Of things had pro.
duced unexsmpled prosperity. The Re-
publicans had moreover put themselves
ia the right, and the Democrats had put
themselves in the wrong, on the Soutl :
ern question. During Grants administra-
ton the Southern people asserted that
they were tyrannized over and abused by
Federal troops and officials. When Presi-
dent Hayes took Office all these causes of
complaint were removed. Thenceforth
the South was untrammeled. The use it
made of its freedom was to organize a
movement for the forcible and fraudulent
suppression of the colored vote, and to
revive the odious and flagrantly unconsti-
tutional legislation known as the Black
Codes The Republicans had withdrawn
all pressure from the South, and this was
how the latter fulfilled the pledges and
assurances of which it had been so prolific
when the Federal troops and officials were
present. This Democratic course neces-
sarily opened up new series OF considera-
tons. The original Reconstruction policy
had failed and been abandoned. But it
did not follow that all responsibility was
lifted from the shoulders of the North.
Equal rights had been pledged to the freed
man, and had not been secured to him.
The laws for executing the Northern pur-
pose were acknowledged failures. The
colored people were VIGOROUSLY denied
their rights. And now, to increase not
only the wrong but the perplexity, the
Southern Democrats were turningthe negro
