WHAT hope is there for Southern prog
ress and advancement, 50 long as her
leading politicians and newspapers cling
10 the hostile sentiments cultivated dur
ing the days Of the rebellion. The Re
publican party is anxious to restore the
waste places Of the South, and build up
its industries by protecting them, and
while this is apparently appreciated, and
meets with favor in some quarters. vet
the old sentiments inculcated during the
rebellion are permitted to override the
desire for ultimate prosperity, as witness
the following paragraph clipped from an
editorial in the .lfla,aa Constellation
In the second place, there is an issue
OF much more importance 10 the South
than the question of free trade or proiec-
tson. II is an issue which the Republi-
can party at the North do not understand,
aud Of which they have little conception,
but II is very serious issue indeed. IL
will hold the South solid for MANY vears
o. come, OF as long as there are anv fears
here Of Republican domination. The
Constitution believes thoroughly in the
doctrine Of protection 20 American indus
tries and American labor: but il also be-
iieycS that there can be no real prosper
ity for the South should the Republican
party obtain control here The experi-
ment of negro domination has been tried
in the South. and il led 90 bankruptcy.
