'SEw TREASON TO THE SOUTH
Industrial Grants and Shcridons, reinforced by
industrial Lees and JacEsons, are now invading
the Bourbon jurisdiction, will erect Lowes amid
the cotton fields, and, in fine, make Georgia,
Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana
the New England of Mexico. our antagonist Is
our helper says Edmund Burke; and the eastern
South, by its Bourbon hostility to internal Inn
provements, save for It's own streams and harbors,
hos provoked tho wrath Of the Mississippi Valley
Nay 1t aims TO tap the Mississippi by rail on lines
parallel with the Northern Central lines running
through New York, Pennsylvania, and the Nir
ginas, and bids Europe seek Beaufort, Charleston,
and Savannah rather than remoter New orleans.
The eastern South would keep toll lgates like New
York and viii soon have the eastern North as an
ally; the Mississippi Valley must fight for her own
great outlet and make its great river trustworthy
endless chain on the st, Paul and New Orleans
axlcs. Minnesota was part of the original
Louisiana which Jefferson bought of France and
commercially is Louisiana still. Again, stream
after stream IN the South will find itself by the
law of general growth rival OF some other stream
1T will, therefore, he only a new crack in the
Bourbon Solid South The new campaign to
reclaim the section will substitute spades for
guns, dredge boats for monitors. locomotives for
artillery, factories for redoubts, and personal
opinions for the dogmas of conventions. Thou.
; sands of Southern whites are not only ready but
impatient for the new conditions.
AND PrFTH--THE MOTIVE AND SUCCESS
of Malone in Virginia, His mutiny has acquired
the status and authority of revolution that will
go forward to the Gulf There are Southern Repub.
lcans who would con0nc Iheir party organSa-
tons within strict corral in order that 1t may dis.
charge no service save to furnish delegations to
conventions and candidates for the Federal trusts
in the viciuage. This resembles the Bourbon plan
of utilizing the many for the convenience Of the
few; in neither case the interests OF the State
befriendcd. Men whose party leadership began
and will conclude with their official teuures vel
come no coalition of Republicans and indepcnd-
ent Democrats, whose victory might disposses'
them of their stools no less than Bourbonism Of
its power. But such coalitions are inevitable.
