the s'eolid South" is the Democratic

the Democratic party. That the DEM

important particular i'll the last 90 years
is proven by the utterancps of the jour-
nails and speakers of the 'skolid South.o
What are these utteiaAices There is
no disguise down South orators and
Journals all agree there, and they an

that sthe principles OF the Democratic
party are the same that Lee and Jack

the rebe!lion.' You have the dee,lara-
ton of Wade Hampton. great leader
i'll the 'solid South" that the same
principles that actuated the rebel Gen
erals during the rebellion actuate the
Democracy now. The declaration has
beer made time and again, IN Congress
aud out OF Congress, that the Demo-
cratic party (t:le s'soIid Suuth'') pro-
posed to continue the fight until all the
Constitutional amendments, and all
laws enacted tor their eutor cement, by
the Republican party. are repealed

Running over with chagrin because of
their failure TO s'count their roll OF slaves
on Bunker Hip as they had so AFRO
gantly boasted, with az increasing hate
tor the Ndrth that prevented such a

expect righteous, equitable and hon.
est administration of this Government
at their hands ? Is it in the bounds of
reason to expect square deal" from
such source ? Is it possible for hu-
man nature, after years of waiting and
watching and scheming, and imbrulng
its hands in human gore, and false
swearing, ballot-box stufiing. AMI the
commitment of crimes innumerable, to
obtain the desired end-control of the

revenge for bei:g defeated in It's pur-
pose OF destroying the Government-
We ask, is it possible for human nature
to torego that purcose of revenge when
the opportunity SO long and anxiously
looked for arrives If the Democratic
party-the solid South-shouId through
the election of Hancock, gain possession
OF the Executive and Legislative branch-
es of the Go. ernment, would she not
carry out her purpose of securing the
.Iu'liclal, by increasing the membership
of the Supreme Court and then. hav-
ing full and complete control of the
Government, would there be any besi-
fancy in carrying through every 'sre-
form" so long threatened ? From .he
record of the Democratic party OF the
past, eau any man believe that it will
torego any portion of its long sought
revenge ? No-never. The election
of Hancock would De but the signal for
beaping every indignity that human
ingenuity could contriye upon those
who aided assisted in putting down
armed rebellion.
How long would the mighty North
put up with such indignities ? And il
the North once more proceeded to COM
pei the observance OF the violated Con-
stitution and laws, whore would the
conflict end?
