why II IN Ntctssnry TINT Democracy
Should be Held IN Check In TINT Neg
ttan Of the Union.
The iSrsLttGgScER has time and again
expressed its sympathy with the National
political results to follow Mahone's can.
yass in Virginia, and similar campaigns In
other parts Of the South; for instance, that
Of even Chalmers In Mississippi. 1t Is Of
the first importance TO the South and to
the country IN general that the governing
and intimida,ing spirit Of Dourbonism
should be laid low in the South. Il Is
either that or unconditional submission OH
the part Of Republicans to political md
social ostracism and slavery. Tho cxperi'
ment OF controlling this spirit OF intoler'
a,.ce and persecution through carpctbag'
ISM has not been 4 success. The cry went
IN from the South, "deliver us from these
pluudcrers and leeches who have come
down here to devour orr substance and
despoil us OF MI our rights" The North
ern people heard this cry and believed
in it, and said It was not fair
that new corners, itincrants and
adventures should represent the
Southern people In their Legislatures and
in Congress; or that they should make
combinations with the newly ledgcd and
ignorant colored people for sinister plr>
4, al in ntty nab n
and property control the public affairs Of
the Southern people. The 'IsTEtMoEScEn
sympathized with this cry, even surprising
It to be greatly exaggerated. rs no doubt it
It was. It believed in home rule in the
South, as It does III ireland, rs far rs such
rule is consistent with the rights Of ell and
the peace and welfare OF society. Evcnts
have shown since the downfall Of carpet
bagism in the South by virtue Of the con-
ciliatory policy adopted by President Hayes
administration, that It was not carpet.bag
rule so much as -lIourbonism OF any
sort that inllamel the would.be au!ocrats
OF the South. They cherished deadly
hostility to Republicanism in any shape,
aud even drove Greenback speakers out Of
the country and smothcred their votes in
the count. They made it hot also for indie
pendent Democrats with suspected Liberal
tendencies. What they wanted, and all
they wanted, was the complete dominance
OF the old pro.slavery oligarchy, and COM
plete submission to their sway.
As to how. this thing has worked all along
aud as to how, unfortunately for the South,
itstill works, is shown by the following let.
