 AAN sDtAA aAbA GuNA man hhH uAAnAtNn theme which he sad was altogether too broad for the limited time in which 1t must discuss it. He spoke of the new south as one of tbe mysteries of the fu- ture-mOFe matter of hope and ex- pectatiOn than of realization. The old south was an Ollgarchy ID which one third of the population were slaves, de Drived of advantages absolutely indIs pensHble to civilization, while one fourth
 f the population were admirably trained and disciplined for the highest duties Of manhood. He compared the south to oligarchies of Rome and Greece at per I0ds of their history, and her leaders to Barons of Runymede, who, when they met to frame the magma charls, looked out very well for their own privileges against the kIng, but cared little for the privileges of the people. Among the proudest names of history were found those of the south, at the head of which and the head of all mankind, was that of Geo. Washington. Grant i'm persunsted the forces which broke the old south. That the new south should in- herit somewhat of the prejuiices and hab its of old, must be expected. A sener 4'iou. much less decade, could not change the ideas of centuries. Before, during and after the war parties were section ally slIgned. Al last, now thRt slavery had disappeared, the parties should be based upon other than questions between tbe north and south. The north was ready for their consGmmation. There never was time when the masses of people felt less of psriy spirit than now They dssirel to see old issues buried and new living questions of the future pre- sented es the line ot demarcation be- tween the parties tapplsuse). Speaking of the conditions be hoped for in the new soush by men who fought on both sides. he said that at first there must be recOC- Gized in every part equality of rights and privileges b-tweeu man and ID ID. The time Uas not far distant when this would be. The blacks and whites were :nseprrably mixed all over the south and the rights of bpth must be respected When this should be recognized univer- sally. this grest difficulty of the new south sou'd te at CD end.
