acre, but that southern intolerance
alone drives away the white immi
grant and makes the negro dissatis-
fed and restless. IL short that a
select few rule their ignorant neigh
bors to the ruin of themselves and
their state, the oppression of a pow
erful negro majority, and the deg
radiation of the whole south.
Now we submit to any candid en-
quircr, does not this correspondent
prove too much /? If a select few
can Cypress an overwhelming major
ity to the verge Of slavery, are the
members of that majority worthy of
citizenship or capable of discharging
the duties placed on their shoulders
by a stroke of the sword? If the
Tribune is right were not the slave
holders right when they asserted
that the black man had no value eX-
cept as slave ? If the Tribune has
given a true picture "after taking"
twenty years of republican rule,
were not the people right in desiring
a change? If the Tribune wished
to draw true picture of political
affairs in the south, would it have
given currency to falsehood by leav-
ing others to draw false differences
on Mr. Longs speech? Is South Car
Dina intolerant when she holds con-
ventions to encourage immigration
and offers excellent farming lands
for five dollars per acre ? The Fri
bune asserts that the southern PEG,
pie since the war have been sFsOlid'
for all bad purposes, and have ruled
the fairest section Of the union with
a rod Of iron which not even defeat
could shake from their hands. But
are such people fools ? Would they
sink themselves to the verge Of star.
walton regardless of the lessons OF
the past? Or even if the ruling
class were politicians enough to rule
and yet fools enough to staryc
would their subjects allow the pro
cess to go on for twenty years and
never avail themselves of the ire
mendous power majority can ex
ert in free country? The ruling
class IS said to be small; would it be
allowed to starve its neighbors, ruiz
our country and drive out the labor
or IN an attempt to "keep things al
they were before the war;"
The truth is-we have 10 ruling
class-we are working to make a liv
ing and redeem our land; we are al
laborers, and we turn no cold shout
der to any man from anywhere who
does not desire to eat up our sub
stance or injure our section. WoulC
you have the west welcome the 10
Gust? The carpet-bagger is worse
Was the peasant wise who took
snake to his bosom He who stir
up strife between two races whost
aims are identical and purpose
friendly, is worse. Would you have
the maiden love the man who cast
slur on her good name? The cor
respondent who ISLANDERS our moth
erland need expect no social ameni
ties or friendly consideration from
her sons. Shall we love the Tribun,
which says of the poverty and dis
satisfaction among us: at is due t
the political intolerance, the lifelong
prejudices and blind hostility of tn,
southern white men, and to the de
moralization and degradation which
is being instilled into and nurturec
among the people by the pollution o
the ballot-boX and the trampling up
on the elective franchise

THE SOUTH AND HER CRITICS.

THE SOUTH AND HER CRITICS.
The New York Tribune has again
instructed her correspondents to
"write up the south" It is most
unfortunate that so able paper does
not even deal with our present con-
dition, but goes back to the buried
past in its attempt to find material
wherewith to embitter the minds of
its readers, and prepare the founda-
tions for another grand campaign
under the bloody shirt. On the
ninth of the current month, it went
back to Richard G. Longs unfortu-
nate speech of last fall, made ex-
tracts which belle it's general tenor,
claimed that these represented the
real sentiments Of the southern dem
ocracy, and then argued therefrom
that Mr.. Cleveland must allow the
negro TO be oppressed because he
would be governed by the south,
and southern democrats would carry
ont Che line of policy represented by
Mr.. Long. Whereas the facts are;
that as soon as these garbled ex-
tracts were made, months ago, Mr..
Long denied that they properly pre-
scented his sentiments; the democrat
ic committees and candidates repu-
dated them, and Mr.. Long resigned
his place on the electoral ticket be-
cause of these false reports
Again, the Tribune attempts to
show the despotic rule of democrats
in this state by declaring that the
governor is ga ear" That his pow
er is despotic we have never denied
that such power is an anachronism
among us all democrats urge in the
press, on the stump, and are doing
their best to correct; that such pow
CT was given to the Florida execu-
tive by the republicans when they
were alI-powerful, is another fact
which the Tribune correspondent
might have discovered had he worn
no coIored glasses or gotten his in
formation among the people he SLAM
ders instead Of mearlhing them from
partisan pamphlets in the murky
gloom of tenement garnet in New
York We are then assured that
the miSeries OF Pensacola are due to
democratic misconduct, whereas re-
publicaus control the municipal af-
fairs Of that important city accord
ing t. their own sweet will and
pleasure, 10 the serious detrinent of
all its local interests.
We are then transferred TO South
Carolina in the issue of the 10th. and
assured that she viii become pros
porous as soon as she makes capital
enough to manufacture everything
she wants at home, and sells what
she does not need to her sister states
for profit. We are told that the
whites make nothing themselves,
bat should be harshly censured for
paying 'pauper wages to aolored
mcn;" we are told that 60, 900 whites
are illiterate, but that the whites
