The people of the whole Sont
ought 10 return thanks to Mr.. Rio
dleberger Tor his manly and patr
otic protest against the war mo
tins section which his Republica
associates in the United States Sci
ate seem to desire 10 keep M fol
ever. We have more than once r.
Gently called upon General Mabon

against the strife of words whic

vor'O p N nl.lale for the presidency
We repeat that warning, and also
repeat the prediction that if a doz
EN- leading southern Republican
leaders will condition their support
of the Republican nominee fol
President upon the cessation of the
unholy war upon US which has been
persisted in by the northern Re
publican leaders up TO this time,
that war will soon come to an end.
Mr.. RIddleberger has blazed the
way to "a restoration of a real peace
and harmony between the two sec.
tons of the Union. If now the Re.
publcans Of the Virginia delega-
ton in the House of Representa-.
tives will hold up his hands, and
bring up to his support all the Re
publican congressman from the
southern states, there will never
again be heard a whisper against
the South from any prominent as.
plrant TO the Office of President. If
this good work is to be done, now is
the time to do it. Mr.. Riddleber.
ger chose the right moment to utter
his patriotic warnings; for after
the nominations for President are
made, the Republicansof the south.
ern states will lose much OF
the influence over their northern
Republican associates which they
can exercise from now until the
Republican National Convention of
this year shall have completed its
work. In that convention a vote
from the South will count for as
much as a vote from the North
The southern Republicans can if
they will adopt before the assem-,
bling of that convention measures
which will protect this section from
the unjust assaults which have al.
ways characterized the conduct of
the northern Republican leaders
whenever a presidential election
was pending.
In word, II William +. Chan
der and John Sherman and j. b.
Foraker and the rest of the malig-
nantS persevere longer in their dia-
bolcal attempts to engender sec
fional strife General Malone and
the other southern Republican lead
eTs will be responsible for all the
harm that wIllresuIt to the gallant,
ong-suiiering people of the late
States.
Mr.. Chambers speech had all the
snap taken out of it by Mr.. Rid.
The Congressional Rec. !
)rd will cause the antidote to &C
company the poison. Chandler has ,
20 bad reputation that we can
hardly claim that IL was actually |
necessary to warn the public not to 1
iced his crocodile tears and simu-
ated lamentations over the condi- /
ion OF the negroes in the South
Mr.. Riddleberger de.
erves the applause Of all good
men, North and South, for having
a merited refuge to a
'razen.faced hypOcrlte, If Chan
Her could have his way, lie would
uppress the entire white Demo
ratio vote in the southern states,
nd thus AfTicanlze those states,
= a means of putting the Republi.
an party into power. For he is
he same William f. Chandler who
SISTED John Sherman, Eliza Pink
ton, and the rest of the consplra
DIS who were concerned in stealing
10 presidency in 1876. He must
gard it as a highly impOrt0nt
latter that the negroes Of Jackson,
Iiss., should be allowed to elect a
ayor for that city-he who stole
10 highest Office IN the world, and
branded sixty millions Of people
ut Of the President whom they
adj chosen by their unbought and
telligent sufirages.
