AS IMPLIED threats have not pro-
duced the desired effect. the republican
South-haters resort to those of a more
expressed character and blurt out open
" what they will do to the South in
case she shall not dissolve her political
solidity, restore the high tariff, and al
low them to regain their control OF the
government and its Treasury. The
New York Press. one of their leading
organs, 10 its yesterdays issue says:
"As there is a limit to human pa
tience, there is no telling how far
Northern animosity may go should the
South persist in assailing Northern in
terests and in striving to degrade North
err labor. Should, however, the mali
cious and sectional policy which has
ruled in Southern councils be abandon
ed, and the South join hands with the
republican party in the common cause
of protection for American industries,
there need be no fear that the bugbear
of the domination of ignorance and
inferiority in the South will aver be re-
allied"
If the Press were wiser than it is it
would know that threatened people are
long lived, and that expressed, are as
impotent as implied threats upon South
ern democrats, whose wisdom teeth
have long since been developed, and
who, therefore, know that in their
unity alone lies their strength.

colored delegates from the Second dis

tall, raw-boned delegate from Surrey
county, they prayed and sang hymns
as if expecting to go down every min

SECRETARY LAMONT. the Presidents
former clerk and present mentor, says:
st might be an easy way to get rid OF
him forever as a factor in the party by
defeating him al this time, but the talk
among leaders in the party, though I'D
friendly to Hill personally, tends
against this idea, and his election IS
predicted by those most interested IN
the contest" All good and true demo-
Gratis appreciate the full intent and
purport of the Secretary's suggestion,
and will profit by it to the extent OF
doing all that is possible to prevent the
qualification of his transparent desire.
But some cabinet ministers as we'll as
some other people in this country have
long since ceased to support political
parties for the principles thereof ; their
support is based entirely upon personal
grounds. Upon the success OF the
democratic State ticket in New York
next November depends that of the
p~arty's rational ticket two years hence,
and vet neither the democratic Presl-
dent nor any member of his cabinet
has, up to date, said a word in its favor
though it was nominated unanimously
and with phenomenal enthusiasm. On
the contrary, every thing they have
said shows plainly that its defeat, to say
the least, would not be to them a cause
OF sorrow.
