A DISASTROUS FOREIGN WAR.

y Z are not inclined to make use Of
the misfortune OF the country for
the purpose Of aiding our side Of the
controversy, but ii seems to us to be
Just to point out the outrageous con-
dition Of affairs in North Carolina
and South Carolina, following the
election, as an indication Of the es-
sentlal weakness in our system of
Government of the presence Of large
aggrcgations of what are called in
ferIor people. The trouble in the
South does not Indicate that the
American people are not competent
to govern themselves and their coun-
try. 1t does show what the Ameri-
can politician can accomplish when
he sets out to promote distrust and
hatred between the blacks and the
whites for his own profit and advan-
tagc. The war in North Carolina
and South Carolina. by which civil
government has been overturned in
populous communities, is due to the
fact that Republican politicians have
promoted race hatred for the gain of
their party. In view OF the state Of
things that the politicians have sue
ceeded in bringing about in the
south, 1t seems to Us the height of
folly to turn over to these same poll
ticians the control of alien races in
distant lands. where an outbreak
similar to that which has taken place
at Wilmington, \. c. might easily
precipitate the whole country into a
disastrous foreign war.-Harper,s
Htcbly.
