which cannot but impoyerish this section.

siration against the expressions and wrongs
OF The Federal Government, they would do
so .. the risk Of driving all the northern
Democrats into new alliance with the Re-
publican party. In word, the South Is
the ireland Of this continent, and is always
assumed TO be in the WRONG.
A helpless South, therefore, calls upon
the North 20 protect free government In
this country. The South can do nothing,
excep, "sUfler and be strong" But the
northern people have the power now to Sc
cure free ballet and far count In this
section, and 20 prevent q repetition OF the
fraud, the wrongs, and the outrages OF
1876. The northern people have had abun-
dant warning. They have been told again
and again by truculept Republicans that
The Republican party kne,c that Florida,
Louisiana, South Carolina, and Mississippi
were Republican States, and intended to
count the votes OF these States for the Re-
publican candidate for President OF the
United States. General Logan, in bis let
ter OF acceptance, says almost in so many
words that the next President IL TO be
seated upon the census returns, and not
upon the election returns. There Is. there
fore, danger ahead.
We say that the northern people are
aware OF the conspiracy alluded 10. The
striking question OF the New York Graphic,
which we quoted in the opening OF this ar
ticle, Is proof that light Is beginning to
dawn upon the minds of the preiudiced
northern people. A still more significant
and striking indication is the following
article from the New York World OF
Thursday. Here follows the Worlds
article.l
The North must give Cleveland ma
joriiy Of its electoral votes. That will be
The best way to answer such threats IS Gen.
eral Logan and Senator Hoar and Others
have dared to make against the right OF tue
people Of the South to control their own
elections.
That article the falsiiying Tribune pro-
nouDces "a warning to the southern leaders
that they must resort TO bulIdozing,"
though the whole article Is addressed to
northern men. The Tribune calls it the
Dispdtck'S "appeal 10 the builGozers to
bring out their shot-guns. aud repeat the
Danville and Copiah business" 1t quotes
the Grdphic'S question as ours.
Why such ialsehood and misrepresenta-
tionf Because the Tribune secs that the
northern people, not the southern. have
made up their minds to "turn the rascals
out" We chronicle with pleasure this
proof that the northern public conscience
is likely TO be awakened to the true condl-
ton OF things in this country.
