isIn. The Southern people desire, above
| AL things, to ppt an end TO the sectional
Ism which has made them. But the Re-
publican party cannot keep alive that
sectionalism II tho Northern masses can
once fully understand the present feelings
and views OF the Southern people; and
therefore the leaders and journals Of
tue Republican party are determined that
the masses, of the North never shall un-

TO prevent the Northern people from un.
derstanding the Southern people, that
the leaders, S6ilEhais Hnd be16i0iaries of
sectionalisna have pefsisteStly misfepre-
sented everything in the South, with all
the energy which the greed for power
Tn the last Presidential, CONT the
Southern Democrats insisted upon sub
Uniting to sheloss of President, elected
by the people, rather than hazard the
dangers of another civil war. Yet Repub-
lican leaders who knew this fact, and
who inlprivate hera expressed warm ad
nliration for It, wentshome TO tkeir peo.

would be in danger again, If / the South,

During the late extra session il was
we'll known that while, the, Southern
Democrats desired the repeal Of certain
laws and most especially an edious jury
law under which nearly an the white
men in the South could be excluded from,
the Federal jury box, ,theys were yet de-

to shoot the government to death, were

on all occasions that secession WINS settled
by the war, and it would be treason to
attempt again TO assert 1t. But because
they, believe what the Constitution so
plainly says, chat the powers not dele

These Instances, with n manny Il eothnera,
illustrate the two great facts, ~ .hat the
| Sontkarn people desire, to allay sectional
ism, and 22) that the Republican party,
as o party, is determined that sectional
ism shall be kept alive. Tl,s truth il. the
Republican party is the essence Of sec
tionalism. Outside of sectionalisinr that
! party has neither history nor policy nor
| purpose nor prospects. When it shall
cease to be sectional it will cease I'd exist.
But sectionalism is the very death toE the
South. We can have neither hope nor
life, save in Q broad cop9titutionals aa-
tionaiism. It is not possible, therefore,
for Gen. Grant, or any other manynomi-
mated by the sectional RepublicanspArty,
to carry single Southern State. 81 sad-
INIT that the Democratic party issppt in
oil respects what We DESIRE There is
much in the histc y of that party i can
not approve, and it vacillates nov. on
some quesuols id a. manner whiclf is

the only party in sight with whichsany
man can affiliate who sincerely desires to
frs.ernize the feelings. pationalize the
Interests ahd, 'e0hs!ssuhohalize the gov

and desire to return to honest govern
