T&o Dangers of a Solid South-"What
They Ave, and LTow They
Ehould be Treated.
la Lis fneech at DloutnGoM, Iowa,
ou Wednesday, tho Hon. James F.
Wilson thus described the objecta and
dangers of a sond boutL:
TUE BOLTUF.BN I'ltOCiEAM ME.
lbe Eoutuern proframrne causes
he fiupncrtcrs to look forward to tbe
induction of a Democrat in tbe Pres
idential oiliee in 1881, and announces
in advance tho programmo then to be
carried out in tbcao worc!3 from the
Southern Hales newspaper, the Dem
ocratic orjaa f.ubiiibed at Okolooa,
Mtf&iseippi: "The republic will be
ves'.el cf tLo powers that it Las
usurr-ed from the Sites tince 1831
The reserved rights of tbe several
common wealths of tLe Federal Union
will be recotrnized in their widest
Bcoi-auU-raotre la a word, the
Calhoun theory will be putiato prac
tice, while Haniiltoniani&m will be
tern up root and branch, and de
stroyed forever. Tha constitutional
amendments will ba repealed, and
tte Constitution will thus be restored
to its primitive vicror ; the ballot-
box purified, and politics redeemed
in an unlimited measure from tbe dc
moralizing inSucnce of ignorant,
vicious, or mercenary suffrage." It
fills all places ct official trust and
profit in those States with those who
fought t make secession triumph.
and seeds none but Confederate of
ficers and devotees of tbe lost cause
to the two Houses of Congress. It
forms the base ot operations for re
CDYti3gr to the pecessionists of the
Sjuth what th?y lost by the war ;
and, fa. ling in thi, makes (tbe Dcni
ocratic party in control of the gov
ernment) another attempt to disturb
the Union a possible success. I
know that this is regarded as the
opiuion cf extremists. Uut this does
not affect the truth. Twice in the
history cf tbo country secession has
put its force in active hostility to the
Government. Jackscn crushed the
first demonstration. It was then said
that a recurrence cf the madness
could not happen. The nation slept
in that belief. All the open and au
dacious threatenings of 1SG0, and of
the decade preceding, could not
arouse our people to a just apprecia
tion ct our danger, and even when
the rtbellion burst upon the country
si.nie of our wisest men raid it was
onlyapaefeiag madness induced by
tbechiirrin of political defeat, anti
will all be over in ninety cays. But
it was Dot over in ninety days, nor
wan it over in four vcars : nor have
we recovered from its effects now.
They will reach tar away into the
years cf tbe future. ot this gen
eration ncr the next will be rid ot
the burdens imposed by the forces of
seer scion in active war. Ice irutn
is that as long as
THE 1'ESTlLESTIAL VIRUS
holds a place in our politics, it is dan
gerous. .o tbougntful man can
rtudy the present condition of affairs
in some of the southern States with
out detectiug danger lurking in the
political activities cf those commui
ties. In Mississippi and South Car
olina is this especially true. It is no
credit to any man to proiess not to
discern this. Whatever has once
happened may again recur. That
which produced our war may pro
duce another. States have attempt-
id to secede; they may attempt it
again. It decs not matter in what
rarb this political force may be
clothtd, it is the same dangerous ele
mebt. Call it secession, State rigbu,
botr.e rule, it is all the same. Its cx-
stenci is inimicAl to the Luioa. It
can't be a teaKzed fact without tie
divieion of the republic. Those who
bcl:eve in it, proclaim it, support it,
do so with an intelligent motive.
They hold to it as a remedy for
, j-xt
some possible grievance, ui me
grievance they claim tbo right to
judge. What the grievance may be
that will justity tnem in resorting to
this remedy, they have already giren
us an example. To be out-voted and
be required to submit to tho voice of
tbe majority, as was tbe casern ISGO,
is bo great a wrong in their estima
tion, as to justify an application of
this extreme remedy in the worst
form. The rule of the majority is

none of their papers, none of their
speakers have ever intimated a pur
pose to surrender; this pest of our
politics. Tbey fought to make it su

their "I&st cause." To regain this
they constantly exert themselves to
repair tie foundation on which tLe
rebellion rested. Dees any one sun-
poe that in the presenco of this dan
gerous dogma in the platform of one
of tbe great political parties of this
country is meaningless ? Why is it

cai group wnicn mat party parades
in all of ita authorized convocations?
Why is it affirmed and applauded in

does it appear whenever the Demo
cratic patty gives utterance to its ar
ticles of faith? Why, when defeat
ed by peaceful means, does it resort
to war ? And when defeated in war
reappear again to disturb the repose
of the nation ? Is this all for no
purpose ? Is this a mere plaything,
a mere revolving political wheel kept
in motion for the amusement of its
manipulators? Or does its presence
and activities mean something?
WHAT CAS KE THE MEAXIXU ?
What, but that at some time and
in some way, the tling so long and
so often resolved as a doctrine, shall
b,3 transformed int a fact? And
hat doc6 that possible fact portend?
A disruption of ,tLe government.
That alone can make recession & fact.
How cen this happen? Solely and
only through tho Democratic psrty.
i ut mo Democratic party in pos?es
sion of the gov -rnment, and this
thing can hopper en without war.
Should a State se . l&, the Democrat
ic party is" committed to tie doctrine
that it has a right to do so. Tho
last Democratic national administra
tion made the official announcement
that tbo United States has no pow
er to coerce a Stato into obedience!
It is to tho transfer of the national
administration to the Democratic par
ty that the defeated secessionists of
the South look forward to. Until
that time comes the "lost cause" will
remain lost. Whiltf the ItepuLliean
party remains in power no State can
depart from the Ution, either by
peaceful or forceful1 means. Such a
thing is an impossibility so long as
the Republican party remains iu pos
session of the power of the republic
to enforce the doctrine: "The Unit
ed States of America is a naticn, not
a league."
There is no safety In committing
this government to tho hands of those
who reject thi3 docttioo. I make no
charge of want of Mncerity against
those who told the oftposTtEr doctrine.
They do not bold through sheer dev
iltry and wanton wickedness that the
States have the right to break up the
Union. I am quite content to accord
to them the possession of
SINCERE COSVICTIOXS,
and to admit they believe toey are
right in the views which they enter
tain. I freely admit this as to tbe
entire Democratic party. This does
not change the character of my po
sition, nor the force of my deduc
tions. I: only makes
THE PAXUEIt MORE APPARENT.
Time and defeat will remove this
danger. Time will serve to give to
to all our people a better disposition
to accept the many and great chang
es occasioned by the war of the re
bellion. Defeat of tbe Democratic
party only can assure tbe time neces
sary to work this change. Defeat
will destroy the hope which gives
force to the Democratic organization.
It may take years of effort and many
defeats to reach tbe end ; but it can
be reached. The stake is worth the
effort, for at the end there i3 Bafety.
Until this is brought about tbe South
ern Democracy will keep on believ
ing that at some lime and in some
way their lost cause may be round
and their Confederacy established.
To this end tbey dominate the Dem
ocratic party of the nation, and com
pel it to continue to proclaim tne doc
trine of State rights. And this com
mits tbe safety of the luioa to the
supremacy of the Republican party,
whose primary article of political
faith is, "The Uuited States of Amer
ica is a nution, not a league."
THE REPUBLICAN IDEA.
iV true principle needs correct
methods of enforcement. This is
recognized by tbe Republican party.
Therefore, it has ever favored a
free press, free speech, and free elec
tions. The two former are necessary
to tbe latter. They give an enlight
ened understanding of the questions
and issues to be resolved by tbe elec
tors at the polls. But enlightenment
alone is not sufficient ; it must be ex
pressed. Tbe expression must be
free absolutely free. Hence the
Republican party faas resolved that
'every qualinel elector in every
State, South or North, Democrat or
Republican, black or white, shall be
permitted, undisturbed by force, and
uoawed by fear, lo vote at all elec
tions at the place prescribed by law,
and nowhere else, just once, and no
more than once ; and that every vote
so cast snail o nonesuy countea,
and every person chosen by such
voles to auy effico shall be freely in
ducted intj it, and effectively sup
ported in tho discharge of bis du
ties ;" and that tbe platform of our
party truly says, that "every well-
informed person knows that itb
such freedom cf elective action, and
honest administration, as herein de
manded, at least five of the Southern
era States are Republican by large
majorities, and that tbey now are in
the bands of tbe Democratic party
olely through force, intimidation,
and a failure to enforce the princi
ples above Bet forth."
.Netting can be trner than this.
No well-informed person doubts that,
wiih such free elections and honest
counting, and effective enforcement of
results, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Florida, and South Carolina
would be in Republican rule to-day.
That they are not is the result of
great crime, akin t J that committed
by the men who resorted to force of
arms to destroy tbe Union, because
the people gave judgment against
them at the Presidential election of
1SC0. Largely thesame men have
perpetrated the present crime. Then
SEPTEMBER H.1S78.
it was to maintain active secession,
now to assume the principle present
ed in a new dress, and called
"UOMK KILE."
Home rule by whom ? By all the
legally qualified electors of those
States ? By no ciean3: but by such
oniy aro willing to vote the Demo
crane ticket, cad subscribe to the
doctrines of the Di;inoc:atic party.
Home rule for what purpose? To
capture all of the departments oflhe
National Government, by the great
er power ot a solid bouth opposed to
a divided North. That is why the
unparalleled election outrages have
been committed iu those States.
That is why tho resident Republi
cans of those States, largely, it is
true, colored men and poor, but still
men and citizens, and lawful electors,
are kept from voting, and at last
driven to an abandonment of their
party organizations ; and it, is for the
earae reason that a system of social
and business ostracism has been es
tablished toward men of Republican
sentiments of tho Northern States
who desire to emigrate to the South,
to aid in building up its waste pla
ces, promoting us prosperity, and
give it thr blessings of activity and
thrift. Tha South is not, for the
reason named, a free country to
Northern men, and the well-known
fact wai the inducement to that man
ly utterance in tho Des Moines plat
form, which says: "We demand for
the people of Iowa absolute freedom
to go whitharsyever they may piease
within the limits of the Dation, with
ptrffct enjoyment of their rights as
citizens, to utter their BcntimenU by
speech or press, upon all sujects
touching their interests, aud upon all
matters of public co'icern."
PIFFICfLTIES.
I know well the difiicultles of en
forcing this demand ; bat I a3 well
know thtt this government will not,
and cannot be a huccess uutil all ne
cessity for rucii a demand shall have
disappeared : ami we ail know that
just so long as this difficulty exists,
it is tbe strongest possible reason for
refusing to extend tho power ot tho
Democratic party in this nation. Can
you give me any reason a hv each
person in this audienc-3 should not be
absolutely free in the exercise and
enjoyment of each and every social.
political, personal, and property right
in any Southern state, as you allow
persons from that section of the coun
try to bo here in Iowa? You have
a? much right there as they have
here. But the fact exists that -you
cannot enjoy this right there as they
can here.
A POLITICAL TEST.
One of you remove with your fam
ily to Mississippi, and you will soon,
and to your sorrow, learn how bit
terly true this ii. Vou buy property
and settle down to tbe work of ac
commodating yourself to the chang
ed circumstances which surround
yon, away from your old home and
the life associations under which
your family has g'own up, you wait
with anxious expeclion the move
ments of your new neighbors. What
are tbev doing? Certainly not what
you desire. They are not getting
ready to call and welcome you and
your family to your new home.
They are spreading far and wide the
information which they have col
lected concerning you. They have
found out that you are from Iowa,
that you are a Republican in poli
tics; that you always hated tbe
abominable crime ot human slavery;
that you are opposed to secession ;
that you were in the Union army;
and that you have not changed your
sentiments with your change of resi
dence, but propose to vote the Re
publican ticket. That is enough.
Yon may possess wealth, industry,
and the best and most intelligent
family in the country, anxious to be
on good terms with your neighbors,
to aid them in every proper effort to
do all that can be expected of a good
member of a community in promo
tion of its interests. This all counts
nothing. You can make no head
way. Your person may be safe from
injury ; your family may escape over
insult ; your property may not be de
stroyed. But you are not wanted,
and are let alone. No one calls on
your wife and daughtbers; they are
indeed strangers in a strange land.
No social relations are offered. No
advances meet with favorable re
spocsa. You are not wanted. You
are ostracised in all the relations of
life. How long would you desire to
stay there? How would you like
that kind ot home rule? But this is
a common occurrence from the Car
olines to Texas.
NOW REVERSE TUE ICENE.
Change the case. Let a family
move from Mississippi to Davis coun
ty, Iowa, now would you act?
You would exactly reverse the South
ern mode ot treatment ; yoa would
welcome tbo new-comers, and set
about at once making their changed
circumstances agreeable to them. You
would show them in a short time
what warm hearts beat in tbe North.
Yoa would soon shame the boasted
hospitality of tbe South by a display
of that more genuine article which
abounds in every household in the
North, x on would make them of
yourselves, and they would soon feel
that it was a good thing to live in
Iowa. This better rule of action is
tbe one that the Republican party
wishes to extend to all parts of our
common country. How much better,
it would be for all if this were so.
It will be so ia time ; but there is a
great deal of work to be done first.
Time and defeat will bring it about.
The former works its own way; we
must see to the latter.
A NATURAL RESULT.
I do not wonder at the condition
of affairs in the Southern States. No
man, no community, no government
can long practice a great wrong
without becoming demoralized. For
a century the Southern people nur
tured the crime of slavery. They
schooled themselves to the belief that
it was right for one man to own
another : that it was right for one
man to eat Lis bread in tbe sweat or
another man's face. That capital
should own labor. That it was right
ta sell wife and children of the la
borer tor tho profit and care of his
owner. That tbe price of one man's
bead should par another man's debts.
1 X
That one portion cf a community
should be kept poor, ignorant, ia the
merest alject conditio:, of chatties,
beasts of burden acl things of bar
ter, that the retuiioticr might live in
ease and arrogaat idleness. Why
should we wonder that , people
educated to believe that all these
abominations were right, should come
to claim tho power to dictaio rules
of political action to other men ?
And when, ia defoase of this audac
ious system cf wrong, oppression,
and insolence, they resorted to war,
and eai! cut of it beaten, aad
bruiiied, end poor, their accursed
sy&tem of labor destroyed, their
slaves converted iato men ; wila the
chagrin cf dtfoat and lbs ccmpuliiou
to labor added to the demorilizaiioa
of a century of iniquity, wo must not
expect aa instantaneous change.
Tbey don't like the changed condi
tion of their effiiirs.
TUSV 10N'T LIKE If.
They don't liko the government
which brought it about, nor tho men
who died, and paid, aad supported
the armies that conquered them. It
is hard for a man who has fattened
on the labor of other men to come
down to labor for himself. It is hard
for a family used to pampered lux
ury, drawn by oppression from the
unrequited toil of other families, to
take up the drudgery of life and work
as other toilers do. A despot don't
like to become a subject. It is hard
to throw off a life of indolence and
put on one of labor. l'eop:3 so situ
ated will look around for relief. The
Southern people have always looked
to political action for relief. To that
they are looking now. They looked
to stccaaion and were overwhelmed
by force of artm. They have not
snrrendered that nisdness; but their
nrescrit resort is the new idiocy of
homo rule. I
A VICIOUS POLITICAL SVSTEJI.
These home-rule Democrats work
with a will, and persistently. Tho
demoralization, ot which I Lavo spo
ken, dominates their polities witLorJ
limitation or restraint. It required
a vicious political system to support
human slavery. That system has
survived the war, and causes all of
the unrest and injustice which plague
the South to-day. It has no element
of good faith ia it. Tbe men who
work by it, and through it, deem all
things fair which tond to assure their
political purposes. They make a po
litical bargain but to violate it, if
that course will serve their purpose
best. Tbey profess loyalty, a i they
took tbe oath of allegiance during
the war, tuurely to escape restraint.
Tbey participate in elections with no
thought cf abiding by tha result if it
be against them. TLey promise pro
tection to all, to gain power with
which to oppose them. All of tbeso
elemeuts are apparent in the South
Carolina and Louisiana cases. De
feated in the elections m those states,
notwithstanding the atrocities resort
ed to to overcome the universally
known large majority of Republican
votes, they defied tbe law aad the
government, and demanded posses
sion of tbe Mates, lhey mako
ALL MANNER OF OOI PROMISES
to indace a compliance with their de
mand. The promises were accepted
and the States turned over to them.
With what result ? Not a stioulation
has been observed by them ; not a
promise kept They are minority
governments, and as oppressive to
wards the majority as hate and
wrong can make them. Thev are
exemplars of borne rulp, granting un
bridled mdtiigesce to Democrats, and
applying the iron hand to all politi
cal opponents. To conciliate them,
the government snrrendered its sov
ereignty and withdrew ita troops,
not only from those states, but from
almost the entire South. The South
ern Democratic politicians followed
up thi3 advantage to Washington,
and insis'ed that the President as
Commander-in-chief, and the army.
should be so crippled and stripped of
power, that tbev could no longer m
terfere with the lawless doings of
the votaries of home rule. Upon
this they planted themselves to deny
army appropriations unless their de
mands were conceded to them. It
was done and now we see more of
their deviltry. Tho great whisky
ring of to-day is in the Southern
States. In the mountain fastnasses
and out-of-the-way places of those
States, illicit distillation is carried on
to an enormous extent Oa tbe right
hand and cn the left
THE GOVERNMENT 13 DEFIED,
and its revenue defrauded. Gov
ernment officers attempting to enforce
the laws are fired on like dogo. and
when, in self-defense, they kill a
murderous member of this bome-raio
whisky-ring, swiftly they are indict
ed as murderers in the State Courts.
The United States law says that
such cases, npon application of the
officers accused, shall be transferred
to the Federal Courts for trial. That
application was made in the South
Carolina caws. It was contemptu
ously denied by tbe State Court, and
the Democratic home rulers of South
Carolina, in State conventions a
once resolved that tbe President
ought, in furtherance of conciliation,
dismiss all of tbe prosecutions pend
ing against the illicit distillers, as be
did those ia the cases of the Edge
field county outlaws. As the?e
home-rulers could not fight their way
out of tbe union, they now demand
that which will next best serve their
purpose to be absolved from the
operation of United States laws, and
to be let alone. These are some f
the beauties of home-rule. These
a-e the terms of conciliation present
ed as a basis of the pacification of
the South, from Democratic sources.
Tbey won't be complied with.
THE IOWA METHOD.
The Republican party of Iowa ex
pressed itself on tbe question cf paci
fication of the South in these words :
"The permanent pacification of the
Southern section of tie Union, and
the complete protection of all its cit
izens in all their civil, political, per
sonal, and property rights, is a duty
to which the Republican party stands
sacredly pledged. In order to re
deem this pledge, it placed the recent
amendments in the Constitntion of
tbe United States, and upon tbe
righteous basis of said amendments,
it will go forward ia the work of pac-
i I
ll fl
WHOLE NO. MIS.
ificatiyn until pcice i-hall come
through right-doing, and cout-;ct-ment
through justice."
This is a s'.aaiard which the Re
publican party will not lower. I
would rather stand under it with the
true loyalist of tha South, black and
poor, nnd ignorant though most of
them may bo, and suffer defeat, than
march to victory by striking it and
abandoning them. A government
which will not do its almost to ac
complish what this resolution pro
poses is unworthy of support and un
Gt to live. Do ritrht and
o'ljerve
justice", is tho simple ar.d etfectire
rule cf pacificatioa which the Rpub
licaa party prcscriLos to the South.

HOW THE DEMOCRATS SAVED

"FUN AT THE STATE FAIR" A LEAF
FROM THE TIL-TORY I'F THE PALMET
TO STATE.
There were exciting times ia Co
lumbia, South Carolina, during the
early days of Decemlier, 1370. Two
Houses of Reiircscntatifes were in
session ia the same room at tbe Sttttc-
bouse, each threatening to eject the
other, and only prevented from eona-
mg into, armed collision by tbo pros-'
eace of General Ruger and the Fed
eral troop3 he commanded. As ear
ly as the 2d or 3d of December it be
came apparent that the State would
be counted for Hacs, and that en at
tempt would bo mado to inaugurate
Governor Chamberlain before the
close of tho week. On the fth the
Tribune' special dispatches men
tioned the sudden appearance ia Co
lumbia of several thou.j.sd nrmcd
men, most cf them with their blank
ets about their necks and kcapacka
at their backs, rcmindir.- oi l resi

never been told. The official ac

a vivid picture of Southern society
in times of great political excitement.
The first intimation that Governor
