The Southern Question.


The st. Louis Republican has a very
sensible editorial ON this head. After
reeiting, in a satirical way, how the Re
publican party has ridden this same
hobby for nearly thirty years, and will
ever attempt t. go into Office on the same
steed, it says:
Now it is hardly necessary to say
that, outside of the Republican party,
there Is no more Southern question
requiring settlement at the polls,
than there is a Northern question,
an Eastern question, or a Western ques-
tion. There was a Southern question,
and a, burning one, while the South
writhed under the Republican heel, a
helpless victim OF. the meanest tyranny
that stains the pages of history, but
when this heel'wa removed, this tyran-
NY broken, the Southern question disap-
pearBd forever as n practical and press
ing issue, and exists now merely as a
creation of Republican fancy, to serve
the purpose Of a party that without it
would be utterly bankrupt. What ques-
ton is there, directly Or Indirectly CON
nected with the South, which requires
the attention and adjudication of the
rest of the country at the ballot-box?
Are not the Southern people obeying
the Constitution and the laws as faith
fully as their brethren of the North,
Blstttand Vests. Are. they not strictly
niindiHg their own business in way
iwhiehmighttroft8blyb be initiated every
where else? Are they not reconstructing
theifsintlustfial, commercial and fnan-
.ciaEidtsFests 2destroyed by the war and
a RepabAean supplement worse than
wsr-switA an energy and success which
has won for them the admiration Of the
world gd In spite of Republican intrigue
and falsehood, and Republican swindlesI
like the exodus, are not the colored
people of the South, taking them as
whole, more peaceful, prosperous and
ooiitented than at any previous time ?
