The Solid South will now learn to ig-
more the monopolizing copperhead De-
mocracy of the North. They CALLED us
into secession; they specialized upon
Il blood and misfortunes through war
between the States, and for Is years
they have lied to us, deceived us and
sold us to the Republicans. The New
York Democracy, controlled by the
s%coundrels, Belmont, Hewitt & Co.,
are too corrupt to merit even eternal
damnatf0n. What shall we do? 1 say
break the solid business and vote for
Garfield. Garfield is intellectual and
great as a statesman. The true policy
of the South in this supreme emergen-
cy of duty, and as a last effort to save
the constitution and the republican
forms of liberty, is TO cast her entire
electoral vote for Garfield and make his
election unanimous. -rBrunswick, Ga,
