Philadelphia North American.
1t has been happily said that The votes
Of the Southern states is now trust.
Giving that word its most recent and
most offensive sense. the saying is true.
Ia those states which we're engaged in
the rebellion the right of election lin.
been suppressed, and their electoral votes
are handed over TO trustees selected fol
this purpose by party convention
We do not propose here to dilate upon
this. il is impossible now to do the snb
ject Justice The gross wrong done to
individuals, the injury to society, the
wound inflicted upon popular govern
ment. are All subjects which in time muai
be considered and which, when THEN
time comes, viii be seen as crimes not
less great or less infamous than the attacl,
Of the slave power in 1861 upon the
nations unity
But the important duty Of the moment
is the consideration Of what may be done
to prevent complete triumph Of this
evil trust Of the solid section IL must
be obvious that II cannot be dealt with
IN any other way than by the defeat of
its allies in those stntes where the right
Of election remains On its own ground
the trust is entrenchcd and safe the
question simply Is whether its control
shall be made national and complete
In this aspect Of the ease every Amer
lean Is interested 90 the full degree Of his
love for his country. If he desires TO see
freedom maintained. his anger against a
Trust which assails the processes of
honest government in their very begin
ming mast be hot and earnest Other
Trusts may disturb the relations of men
in commercial transactions and do injury
TO the business rights Of individuals or
classes. but such gross and violent
nsurpaticn Of public and private rights
as is implied in absolute surrender of
more than hundred electoral votes to a
partisan trusteeship, and the suppression
Of the elective choice in ten or more
States, must far transcend in its serious
ness any Of those. However bad they
may be.-the Sugar Trust. which the
Mills bill favors the WhislSey Trust,
which il does not disturb, this is ina
nitely worse The one may be thief
the other is an assassin
We repeat the obvious truth that this
gigantic infraction of American liberties
can only be reached in the States Of the
North whore the right Of election remains,
by the citizens Of those States. The cleo
tion Of next month deals directly with
the subject If the electoral vote held by
the Sectional Trust is sufficiently added
to in the election States its operations
win be approved and its power confirmed.
