Decline or Southern lnflnenco -Future
I'rogtnmme of tlio Democracy.
In the speech delivered by Mr. Blaine in the
House of Representatives on the 10th inat., on
the results of the late election, he declared
that "the approaching census of 1870 will dis
close the fact that the ten Rebel .States, viewed
as cue compact power, will no longer have
Euflieient strength to oiler temptation to the
Democratic party of the North to sacrifice its
loyally and its pride for the profit of au
alliance with them," and that "the election of
180X is the last in which the lately rebellious
section, even if it oould be wholly controlled
by Rebels, will have sufficient power in the
electotal vote of the country fo make it the
object either of hope or of fear on the part of
political organizations striving for the govern
ment of the nation." Politicians of all parties
shonld attentively consider the full force of
the change which is thus forcibly dupiuted.
For many years the compacted South held a
predominating influence in the national coun
cil?, asd the custom was for a long time main
tained of refusing admission to a new free
State until a new blave State was also pre
pared for admission, so that a balauoe of
power oould be perpetuated in the United States
Senate. Calhoun earnestly advocated such
a change in tlie form ot the uovernmeni as
would always ensure to the Southern States
sufficient influence in the national councils
to prevent the passage of any law unani
mously opposed by their Senators and Repre
sentatives, lie viewed with gloomy appre
hensions the rapid growth of tte free Com
monwealths, and impressed his followers with
the conviction that they must either secure a
perpetual check upon the Union, or abandon
and debtroy it. They were taught to demand
that the North should continually be subser
vient to the South, despite disparity of popu
lation, and to make tho first open expresoion
of free and unshackled Northern opinion on a
test question the signal for the disruption of
the Republic. The nation and the world have
seen some of the results of this struggle of a
desperate and retrograde minority to enuluin
a vigorous and progressive majority;
but the protracted discussion of. the
terms of reconstruction and temporary
uncertainty in regard to the future position of
the Rebel States, have prevented a full recog
nition of the completeness of the overthrow of
the arrogant pretensions of the secessionists.
AH know that the Confederacy was demolished.
Cut next to power out of the Union they
longed for power within it; and the rest r lo
tions imposed by the reconstruction policy of
Congrees, joined to the- rapid influx of emigra
tion in the North, aud the prosperity injured
to Northern communities by liberty combined
With law, have souuded forever the death-kuell
of the distinctive Southern influence which
was formerly the controlling element in A tne"
rican politics. It has fallen, like Luoil'er,
never to rise again Men look bick with
wonder at the patience of the North in sub
mitting to the brutal dictation of the lords of
the plantation lash, and can scarcely realize
that the leaders of the Rebellion once swayed
the destinies of the entire nation. Ileuce
lorth the South will exercise but a small
share of the governing power. Whatever may
be the final result of the Congressional effjrti
to infuse a loyal element into Southern poli
tics, her future statesmen can never again
become the despots of the country. This
change possesses a deeper signifioanoe to the
Democrats of the Northern States than to any
Other portion of the American people. Tue.v
have beoome so accustomed to unquestioned
submission to Southern dictation that they
scarcely yet realize that policy and prudence,
as well as patriotism, impel them to reoogniza
their emancipation from their ancient thral
dom. They are slower than the slaves in
learning that they shonld work for themselves,
and for the immediate benefit of the commu
nities in which they live, instead
of their old Southern masters. They
committed a fatal blunder in the last
Presidential campaign by exposing their wil"
lingness to fight the battles of a lost cause'
and by affording new evidence of their con"
tinned disposition to make the interests of the
loyal States subordinate to those of rebellious
districts. They can scarcely fail to gradually
learn the folly of repobing their hopes for fu
ture triumph, on an alliance with baffled
traitors, and four years hence they will pro
bably correct the flagrant error which contri
buted so largely to their recent defeat. They
will not again venture to ask the people to
endorse a Wade Hampton platform, or to sup
port another national candidate who favors a
iitw rebellion.
Johnson's Message is as full of absurdities
and inconsistencies as of insults to the Ame
rican people, lie says that "our national
credit should be saoredly observed," and ha
follows up this declaration by proposing that
the principal of the national debt should be
extinguished by the moneyB paid for interest,
lie denounces and exaggerates the public ex
penditures, forgetting that he himself signed
all the appropriation bills passed blnoe April,
1805, notwithstanding his numerous vetoes of
Other laws, and ignoring the fact that the
appropriations were nearly all based upon
estimates made by his own Administra
tion, which, however, were in many instances
greatly reduoed. lie also strangely supple
ments Lis declaration against the large expen
ditures of the Oovernmeut by proposing to
purchase more foreign territory. Iu one
breath he states that "it is indeed a question
of grave consideration whether our recent aud
present example is not calculated tooheck the
growth and expansion of fn principles," and
jet in another he alleges that "the conviction
is rapidly gaining ground iu the American
mind that, with the increased facilities for
intercommunication between all portions of
the earth," we could govern under our Con
stitntion not only this entire continent but
"the reet of mankind." The nies&age is evi
dently either the patchwork product of dif
ferent authors or of varying Presidential
moods.
League Island.
Tim Altornfy-Oeneral having passel nponthi
title of the city of Philadelphia to L-iagu
Island, and reported that it is sound and unen
cumbered, the formal and final transfer of the
great Iron-dad Nary Yard site will be fully
consummated in a few days. The Federal
Government will then be placed in possesalju
of a piece of property which is eminently
adapted to all the requisites of au iron-clad
naval station. From the first tender of the
property to the United States by this oity, the
movement baa encountered the bitterest oppo
sition by persons in and out of the Govern
ment who were interested in having other
localities fixed upon. But, after all, the true
interests of the country were consulted, and
the Navy Yard for iron-clad vessels of war
located at the point which was unquestionably
the rucst suitable, with a view to safety,
economy, and convenience. Philadelphia has
just cause to be gratified at the result.
The indignant denunciations in Congress
and in the press of the Presidential scheme of
repudiation will go far to satisfy the national
creditors, at home and abroad, that the solemn
decision pronounced in November last, that
all the obligations incurred by the war should
be faithfully discharged, will be executed.
The most probable explanation of Andrew
Johnson's motives is that he prepared por
tions of his message rather as texts for fature
stump speeches as a candidate for United
States Senator in Tennessee before semi-rebel
audiences at Confederate X Roads, than as
official advice and information to Congress.
Having swnng around the circle once from the
lowest office to the highest, he is preparing
for a return trip, which is to begin by a can
vass for a seat in the Senate, and may en 1 1 n
his defeat as a candidate for alderman.

ARSHALL'S ELIXIR.
DRY GOODS.
Any perEon habitually costive cannot be in
the enjoyment of health. If not relieved cos
tiveness will result in confirmed cases of
Rheumatism, Piles, Inflammation of the
Bowels, Diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder, and
surrounding organs. When costiveue.es is
radically cured, all the machinery of the sys
tem moves in harmony. Marshall's Elixir
permanently cures costiveness, and so pre
vents diseases more painful and dangerous.
Headache quickly yields to its curative
powers. Being entirely vegetable, it may be
safely taken by all persons at any time, with
perfect safety. Headache, besides being a
very painful complaint, is also weakening to
the nervous system, and may lead to palsy in
its various forms if not soon relieved. Mar
shall's Elixir so strengthens the nerves that
they perform their duties without pain or un
easiness. By supplying the stomaoh with the medici
nal principle, the want of which causes Dya
pepbia, this distressing and common disease is
quickly cured by its use. It not only supplies
this to the stomach, but imparts strength and
vigor to the whole digestive apparatus, so that
health, with cheerful spirits and a ruddy coun
tenance, is fully established. Read the fol
lowing certificate:

UtTKLtsoTON, N. J., Ootober 9, 18G8.
This is to certify, that in the year 18U4 I
was pronounced by the physicians who at
tended me to ba in the last stagis of Pulmo
nary Consumption, and that my end was near at
hand.
At this critical stage of affairs I was induced
by a frietd to give 'Wishart'a Pine Tree Tar
Cordial" a trial. I did so, and I was almost
immediately relieved. I persevered, took
fourteen butties of the "Pine Tree Tar Cor
dial," and was completely restored to health
once more 1 Four years have elapsed since my
miraculous restoration to health, and I am
still in the enjoyment ef most excellent health,
and would say in all sincerity that, under
Uod, I owe my life and health to "Dr. VVis
Lart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial 1" I advise all
ftoor, lingering consumptives, if they value
ife and health, to give the "Pine Tree Tar
Cordial" a trial. Aaron E. Burr.
