FREQUENTLY IN the Mahonitc and occa-
sionally in the so-called independent press,
illusions are made to the unsectional cha
racter Of President Arthur's administration
but the only proof that is adduccd to sustain
his asserted unsectionalism is the negative
aud inconsequentialo one that hemade MOI men
ton of the South in his inaugural address.
The positive and convincing proof that the
Presidents administration is just rs section
al, if not more SO, than any of his republican
predecessors is the fact that while he has
not one single man who even halls from the
South in his Cabinet, two of his most trusted
members of that body are only no:el for
their violent, unscrupulous, ineradicablc and
malignant hatred Of the South and of every
thing pertaining thereto-Messrs. Howe and
Chandler. And, if this be not enough, it is
supplemented by the additional fact that in
all the national appointments save only in
the rast OF Mr.. Prescott, the South has been
Us completely ignored as she was in his inau-
gural address.

do not pretend to say that local option or
the cause of temperance was advanced bv
the meeting, we are sure that young and

principal, beau and belle, will remember
with pleasure the great temperance bush
meeting of 1882, and will unite in wishing

future.
