We have said that there is a strange
MIXTURE of ,tuts, and error in this article.
The truths are apparent; the errors we
shall point out. First OF all we say that
the Transcript Is In error IN saying that
the Southern people freely and sincerely
admit the mistalsennesss OF secession.
The Southern people admit nothing OF the
kind. They still maintain that they had
the constitutional right TO secede. anu
iha, they were right in maintaining their.

the remaining years of her life in this
community N peace and when she died no
harsh word was uttered against her. 1t
was not the appointment here and there
rof a Northern sympa -i1izer TO Office in
the South that SO emb!ttered our people
against the Republican party. II was the
wholesale. enfranchisen1ent of negroes, the
appointment of ignorant negroes TO office.
the attempt OF the Republican party and
its carpet-bas representatives TO put the
negro above the white man and to make
the ex-slaves lord it over their former
masters: in short. it was the infamy of
reconstruction in the full meaning of that
term which drove the whites of the South
together and which has from that day to
this kept them together. They cannot
forget the evils of reconstruction; they
cannot forget the party which brought
these evils upon them, nor can they smut
their eyes to the menace Of the fifteenth
Amendment, when backed up by the party
which is responsible. for it and which has
so dogsedly attempted to enforce its pro-
visions.
