SOLOMON ordered the child to be given to
the woman who was not willing to have it
divided. The people Of the United States
must give 10 the country President who IS
not willing 10 have The country divided.
Look At the present condition Of things.
The war between the states ended twenty
three years AGO, and yet here is party
which hopes 10 succeed 10y exciting preiu-
diccs against the southern people, though
those who were bows OF only ten when the
war ended are now thirty-tbree years old.
Think Of the malice that could suri.
tweuty-three years Of peace. Think OF 'tr
bitterness Of feeling which must dwell FOB
the bosoms Of the men who are willing 10
punish the millions Of people in the south
who took no more part in the "rcbelhon
uan thoy old in the Revolutionary war.
Can these mlignsnts be safely rewarded
for their uupatnotic conduct VIII The
people 81 q restored Union Offer premium

done with appeals 20 the war preludices oil

That there can Dee no good reason for expect

Office.
Iu n- forum for July are two articles
penncd by lead .rs in the Republican party
both of them United States senators
Grrer +. Epw>us, OF Vermont. aud WILL
IAv j.. Cu,>nIEE. Of New Hampshire.
Nr. InvrNps's article e unOblectonable
contested with that Of Mr.. CHANDLER. lie
tries % conceal hs claws. lie Affects lair
ness. We arc surprised to find IN his article
mo positrelv false statement that the Wing
ulrs and the Republican party devoted
their energies 10 restricting slavery. The
Wig plUy was more conservative than The
Democratic party OF anic.bcilum day,; hut
for ttlt very reason IL WAS always strenu'
ou.y opposed 10 auy interference by the ma
uonal Government with property IN slaves.
We SUPPOSE that a majority OF the slave
lnid,rs were Wings. The Wing party died
in lSG00l 1NGl. at time when the Republic
can party had not cared 10 autagonize slavery
lut had declared IN H- national platform for
protecting slavery in the states, and had
elected 70 ihe Presidency ABRAHAM LINCOLN
vho denied the power OF Congress 10 abolish
slavery even n the District OF Columbia.
'lr. bnWrNps, therefore, commits an mex
cJ.aulc bIuuder when be saws that the Wing
pant, tried 20 restrict slavery. But this un-
r8rdouabe mistake may be charged up TO
the fsct that be belongs TO q sectional party,
which IS in its very nature an anti-sOutbern
and therefore anti-national party, aud,
therefore asain, an unpatriotic party that
ou,ht never TO be iriIusted again with the
for uncs ~ this land Of freCmen.
Mr.. EmUNDs charges that whatever op-
p .itlon 10 the war was manifested in the
North was the work Of Democrats. lie also
charges them with opposing the reconstruc-
tiou measures, &c, &c, &c; all OF which
goes 20 prove that the Democratic party
has never ceased TO be a national party. II
supported tbc war, but 1t stood mp for the
Iiehts Of the southern people whenever it
saw those rights threatened.
Mr. CHANDLEE's article Is characteristic Of
thc author. lie is as small a man and IS
W
BIS article "Our Southern Masters" He
breaches scctionalism in every line OF It,
IL declares that "the political control Of
the nited States is now in the hands Of a
southern oligarchy as persistent and unrc,
lcnting" as the southern oligarchy that ruled
the country before the war between the
states. lie declares that Democratic sue
cess has been obtained by "tramplng ruth
lessly by fraud and violence upon the fit-
teenth amendment" He says that the thir-
tecuth amendment alone is in force, the
fourteenth and fifteenth being openly and
facTanty dIsobeyed. Read his own words
"Beheyiug az do that the bestowsl OF
the right OF suffrage upon the negro, tcbGt
Cger me consequences 10 the South, was an
overwhelming and inevitable necessity uu.
der The circumstances existing" &C., &c.
This II reply TO WADE HANPTON's article
showing how negro rule for only a few years
had well.nigh ruined South Carolina.
Mr.. CIIANDLE6's sectiOnaliSm crops out
again in his assertion that the question now
Is one not OF negro supremacy but of white
cQuahty-whether the white southerner shall
le me superior Of every citizen Of the
North.
Though for to-day. We would have our
readers ponder the facts we have stated and
ask Themselves whether they can afford TO
encourage in any degree any party or faction
in the South that can recognize EDNUNpS
and CHANDLER As their allies whether they
can forgive either JoHX 5. WISE or WILLIAM
MALONE for sitting silent IN a so-csled
national convention in which southern
heroes were berated aud southern men cha.
