TOT assertion of Thomas Robinson
through the Eagle that he had pro
cured the names of a majority of our
Connty Committee to a certain paper
on the Congressional nomination,
turns oat just as we suspected. We
hare called twice for the publication
of said names, and now call again for
them. This is but one of the many
falsehoods being put in circulation by
a defeated candidate and some men of
like character. No committee could
stultify itself in the manner alleged.
For them so to do would be as ill
timed as ill-advised.
A DEMOCRATIC paper quotes Han
cock's remark that, in this campaign,
the people are the leaders. Yes, and
they are satisfied. They are at work
with brain and hand in every depart
ment of labor, and they are prosper
ing at their work. Every lurid furnace
blaze in the courftry is a beacon to
gnide the Republican party to victory;
each blow on every one of all the
thousands of anvils is a campaign ar
gument in our behalf; every dollar of
debt paid and every cent saved, by
reason of liberal wages, is another, and
no man, to whom the Lord has given
common sense and a common patriot
ism, can deem a change from all the
far-reaching prosperity of this crowning
year of our American greatness, either
possible or desirable.

The Buffalo township Garfield and

meeting at Sarversville on Saturday
evening last. A torch-light procession,
two martial bands, one from Leasure
▼ille and one from Bricker's Mill, and
a brass band from Saxonburg, enliven
ed the occasion. The ladies were in at
tendance. The Miss Hershbergers pre
sented the Club with a fine banner of
their own making and bearing the in
scription "To save the Nation, vote
for Garfield and Arthur." R. P. Scott
*nd G. W. Fleeger, Esq'rs., of Butler,

were present j
GALUSHA A. GROW will speak at the
Republican meeting in the Court
House on next Friday evening.
THE position of the Congressional
nomination in this district remains
about the same. The only practicable
and fair proposition for a settlement
that has been made was that of Mr.
McJunkin to Mr. Miller, to each
choose a friend and have a third party
as umpire outside the district. This
was agreed to by Mr. Miller and a paper
drawn up, naming Lieut. Governor
Stone as the said third party. But Mr.
Miller as usual went back on his own
agreement This is the second time
he has done so. His doing so the first
time, at the Mercer Conference, has
been the sole cause of all the trouble
now existing. And yet he and bis
friends keep up a blustering and a pre
tense that they have offered thus and
so. They, for instance, talk about the
committees of the three counties again
meeting and voting on the question,
while they know that that is impossible
and impracticable, from one fact alone,
and that is, that there are two commit
tees in Crawford county, both claim
ing to be the regular one.
We forbear further remarks at pres
ent in the hope that reason will pre
vail. The great mass of the Republi
cans of this county insist on Mr. Mc-
Junkin standing to his rights, and the
rights of this county. He was the first
nominated, and has the best and most
regular nomination. Mr. Miller was
the bolting party, and took a second
nomination from the Dick faction of
Crawford county, who had no right at
the time to give it. The course of his
friends here and elsewhere is, and has
so far been, such as to irritate and keep
up bad feeling. Their policy is to rule
or rain. And if defeat comes they will
be held responsible.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
The officers of all Republican march
ing clubs throughout the county are
respectfully requested to send their
names and addresses, with the number
of men enrolled, to the Secretaries of
the Qarfield & Arthur Club of Butler,
without delay. The County Commit
tee contemplate holding a grand mass
parade and torchlight procession of all
the clnbs in the county, at Butler,
sometime after the middle of October,
1880, and the importance ot communi
cating the desired information should
be apparent.

OROW COMING.
Hon. Galusha A. Grow will speak
in the Court House at Butler on next
Friday evening, 10 inst.
This will probably be the only op
portunity our citizens will have of
hearing this distinguished gentleman
and orator during this campaign.
Therefore let there be a general turn
out to hear him. Republicans through
out the county should try to be pres
ent There are few, if any, more able
and eloquent speakers in thqland, than
Galusha A. Grow. He always sounds
the key notes of the campaign. Let
there be a rousing meeting to greet
him in the Court House on Friday
evening.
Nominated.
The Democratic conferees of this
Senatorial district, Armstrong and
Butler counties, met in Conference at
Freeport last week and nominated
Jacob Ziegler, Esq., of this place, as
the Democratic candidate for the State
Senate We congratulate our brother
' of the Herald upon this honor con
ferred upon him by his party friends.
The district is about one thousand
■ Republican and of course it is but an
, honor, unless some "streak of luck"
I should strike "Uncle Jake," as he is
: generally called. Personally Mr. Zieg
• ler is a very clever man, but politically
■ he is on the wrong side, and, like
> Hancock, his gun is "pinten" in the
> wrong direction to-day.
| OREENBAOEJ3RS BACK AGAIN.
The Greenbackers of this county
r had another meeting in this place on
Monday last. Although apparently
[ few in number at present, yet they
i seem determined to keep up their or
. ganization at least. Two years ago
i they bad a considerable following in
• this county, but from all we can see or
■ learn their ranks are greatly reduced.
And indeed it is difficult to see any
ground they have to stand on at pres
ent, with any show of reason. Just
the reverse has come to the country
from what they predicted two years
ago in regard to our financial affairs.
And no change in our financial system
' could certainly be advisable at present.
Mr. Plummer in his speech in the
Court House on Monday evening ad
vanced nothing new. It was com
posed of the same old arguments that
time has Bhown not to be well founded.
We und"'Btand they completed their
county ticket as follows: Congress,
W. C. Plummer, of Crawford county;
State Senate, left to conferees ; Assem
bly, John A. Brawley, of Parker town
ship, and one to to be filled by commit
tee ; District Attorney, S. H. Piersol,
Esq., of Butler; Associate Judge, Al
len Dunn, of Franklin township.
Doctor Sutherland, of Petrolia, was
appointed Chairman of the County
Committee.
Mr. Plummer having already re
ceived the nomination of his friends in
Crawford and Mercer counties, is
therefore their candidate for Congress
in this district.

THE ENORMITY" OP TXIE ACT.
We met recently an old Republican
of this State who, in the course of a
conversation with him on politics past
and present, had occasion to refer to
the enormity of the act of the Legisla
ture of 1861 in repealing the Tonnage-
Tax law. The subject of Ex. Governor
Curtin's present candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for Congress,
in his district, was the one we were
conversing on, and Governor Curtin s
change from a Republican to a Demo
crat was what called forth the remarks
about the Tonnage Tax repeal. This
old gentleman stated that Curtin, then
Governor, had received, as his share,
the large sum of $55,000 for his ap
proval of the bill repealing the law.
He gave the particulars of how the
money was paid the Governor by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company for
his signature to the bill. The amount
the Railroad got clear of paying the
State by the repeal, and which was
then due and unpaid, was upwards of
a million of dollars. Some eight hun
dred thousand dollars of this was al
ready in the shape of judgments the
State had obtained against the Rail
road company for back years unpaid
taxes. The balance, some two hundred
thousand dollars, was also about due
and similar legal proceedings were be
ing instituted to compel the Railroad
to pay up. It was under these circum
stances that the Railroad conceived
the plan of getting the Legislature to
repeal the law, thus taking off the tax.
How the Railroad succeeded is a mat
ter of history. The law was not only
repealed, thus cutting off all future
revenue to the State from this Rail
road tax, but actually relieving the
Railroad of the SBOO,OOO due upon the
judgments that had been obtained.
The old gentleman in speaking of this
great outrage of the Legislature, in
not only repealing the law for the fu
ture but in releasing the Railroad from
payment of the back taxes then due,
became very emphatic in his denunci
ation of the Legislature for passing
the law, and of Gov. Curtin for sign
ing it. The tax had been imposed
when the State had granted the char
ter for building the Railroad along the
ronte of our then State canals. These
canals it seems had cost the State
some eighty millions of dollars to build.
The making of the Railroad destroyed
their business —as was well known it
would —and rendered them useless to
the State. Hence the tax on the ton
nage or freight carried by the road was
imposed, so as to remunerate the State
for the loss of nearly all her public im
provements. And hence the repeal of
that law was the great outrage inflict
ed on the taxpayers of the State by the
Legislature of 1801.
THE OAT OUT AT LAST.
Among the resolutions passed by
the Dick side of the Crawford county
Republican Committee at a late meet
ing of the same, on August 24, ult.,
was one in substance as follows:
"Resolved, That Hon. Samuel B.
Dick waa entitled to a renomination ;
and that his voluntary retirement,
when it was in his power to take the
nomination, was a personal sacrifice
in the interest of harmony" etc.
That the above may be better under
stood we will state, that the "nomina
tion"' referred to above waa the one
that was given to Mr. Miller, of Mer
cer, by the Greenville meeting of Aug.
sth, at which the Miller and Dick
conferees were alone present. So here
it appears that after all Mr. Dick
| could have gotten that "nomination"
—had it "in his power to take it," and
would not, but give it to Mr. Miller.
This confirms what the Butler con
ferees observed at the regular Confer
ence at Mercer on July 6th. Every
thing there, as well as everything be
fore that time, pointed to the fact that
Miller and Dick understood one an
other and that Miller was to nominate
Dick at Mercer, provided he, Miller,
succeeded in getting the Dick conferees
into that conference. But that failed.
The Greenville meeting of Dick and
Miller was the next thing that fol
lowed. And now we have it an
nounced by the Dick faction in Craw
ford, bis own county, that Miller, of
Mercer, waa still willing to give that
bolting nomination to Dick, but Dick
declined it, although he had it "in his
power to take it." We refer to this
admission now for the purpose of show
ing Miller'? double dealing and trifling
in this whole matter. He pretended
all along that he wanted the nomina
tion himself, and a great stress was,
and continues to be made on the claims
of his, Mercer county, to a nomination.
He now puts his whole case, we may
say, upon the merits of his county of
Mercer. But here we now have the
fact acknowledged, that so late as at
the Greenville meeting of himself and
Dick, he was willing to waive those
claims and to nominate Dick, but Dick
rofused to take such a nomination and
turned around and offered it to Miller,
who did take it. What consideration
was Mr. Miller giving at that time to
the claims of Mercer county? None.
And all this accounts for why he
wanted the Dick bolters admitted at
Mercer. He has been the cause of all
the trouble we have in this Congres
sional district, and while a few disap
pointed men in Butler, headed by a
defeated candidate, may be making
large promises to Mr. Miller, we again
assure him that the Republicans of But
ler county will stand by Mr. McJunkin,
their own man and the regular nomi

THE NORTH AND T.iE SOUTH. 1
In a late speech at Staunton, ir
ginia, Senator Wade llanipton said:
"With a united South castiug 138 elee- j
toral votes, we need only New York !
and Indiana, and I believe we shall
have them. Will Virginia, when we .
have success within our very grasp, j
sacrifice the Democratic party ? Will .
she sacrifice the South?" That is the
precise point. Shall "the South" con
trol the Government ? The particular (
declaration that the principles which '
he was supporting were the principles
for which Lee and Stonewall Jackson
fought, Senator Hampton denies hav
ing made. But whether he said ex
actly the words attributed to him or
not," he made the speech, and the
speech says nothing else. We do not
mean, of course, that he intends to an- |
nounce another war, but he desires the
supremacy of "the South" in the
Union. His loyalty is to his section,
as Lee's and Jackson's was. He feels,
as most white men of his section feel,
that "the South" is something worthy
of a devotion which can not be paid to
the Union. We certainly do not re
proach Senator Hampton, or any other
Democrat, for holdiug views for « hich
he was willing to give his life, nor do
we suppose that he or any other South
ern Democrat feels any "repentance"
for his part in the rebellion, or has
changed bis views of the nature, what
ever he may now think of the power,
of the national government If the
situation had been reversed, and we
Union men had been defeated, and the
government dissolved, undoubtedly we
should have held that this event of the
war did not determine the justice of
the victorious view. We do not sup
pose that "the South," for which Sen
ator Hampton speaks, has changed its
mind, except in regard to methods. It
would not attempt, under the circum
stances, any kind of open rebellion,
nor the restoration of slavery. In that
sense it is loyal. But it does unques
tionably mean to control the govern
ment, if it can obtain control by the
most resolute suppression of the op
posing vote at the South, and by suc
cess, as Senator Hampton says, in
two or three Northern States. His ap
peal is, "Will Virginia sacrifice the
South ?" It is not, in our judgment,
possible that upon a free and honest
vote of the people of this country
would in this generation, and while
the old party associations and divis
ions continue, intrust the government
to the section and men and principles
which attempted its destruction, what
ever their acquiescence in the inevita
ble. We do not object to any body of
voters endeavoring to acquire ascen
dency by legitimate means, but we ob
ject emphatically to an election car
ried by the Alabama plan and the
tissue ballot. We presume no intelli
gent roan believes that the vote in the
Southern States will be in any sense
fair or honest.
However much this sectional aspect
of politics is to be regretted, the fact
itself is undeniable, and it must be ac
cepted. Senator Hampton states frank
ly and clearly the alternative offered
by the candidacy of Garfield and Han
cock. He puts it fairly and plainly.
The election of Hancock is govern
ment by the South ; the election of
Garfield is government by the North.
The sectional names are inevitable.
They describe the two forces that have
always contended for the mastery. The
contest is the key of onr politics, and
it will continue, whatever the name of
parties or the aspect of elections, uutil
it reaches a natural end by the abso
lute supremacy of one idea over the
other. For a generation "the South,"
slavery, and the Democratic party
have been different expressions of the
same political element. We shall not
discuss the causes of this fact; but
when the ascendency of the South was
imperiled by the election of Lincoln, it
flew to arms, and after a hard strug
gle it was overpowered. It has re
sumed its place in the UnioD, and
hopes now to obtain the mastery of
the government. "We need only New
York and Indiana," says Senator
Hampton, "and I think we shall have
them." The Democratic party does
not pretend to hope for success ex
cept by the solid electoral vote of "the
South." Democratic success, there
fore, would be wholly a Southern vic
tory. Deduct the "solid South," and
the Democratic party disappears. The
sectional alternative is the result of
our whole previous political situation ;
and admitting that the South has an
equal right with any other political
force to control the government if it
constitutionally can, is it dcsireable
that it should ? Is there any great
public and national object which is
more likely to be obtained by a South
ern than by a Northern administra
tion ? "The South" is a political
phrase, like the North. It describes
certain principles, policies, traditions,
tendencies, a certain general spirit and
character, which are familiar to every
voter who knows our history. There
, is a Southern theory of the Constitu
tion and the Union. It is as old as the
government. Is it the one upon which
patriotic and intelligent men wish to
see the government administered ? Are
the historical results of those views,
put into practice in the social, industri
al, commercial, educational, and politi
cal systems and development of those
States, such as to encourage the hope
that in control of the government they
would do more and belter for the
whole Union than the con titutional
views and social and industrial sys
tems of "the North ? " Upon any spe
cific subject, questions of finance and
currency, or taxation, or protection of
rights, or sectionalism, or administra
tive economy or reform, is it probable
that "the South" would do better for
us than the North ?
And why, since slavery is gone,
since the abstractions of State sover
eignty are not to be reduced to prac
tice, since the reasons for the exis
tence of the South as a distinct politi
cal force have disappeared—why does
Senator Hampton still speak of it as
united ? why is it conceded that it will
be "solid 1" Why is a Republican
vote assumed to be hostile to "the
South ? " "The South," it must be re
membered, is not ouly the political
force and theory that we hikve men
tioned, but it is now used by the Dem
ocrats to describe a Democratic white
majority which has systematically and
successfully cowed the colored vote,
which in the days of the old "South"
did not exist. This South is arrayed
against Republicanism as its mortal
foe. Now Republicanism is to be
judged by Republican Administration.
Is ttere in the measure of this Admin
ristation, which is that by which we
are to be tried, anything unjust to
ward any section of the country ? If
there be any trouble or injustice in the
Southern States to-day, is it caused by ,
Republican administration, or by Re
publicans within or without these j
States, or by Democrats? The "South" <
is not "solid" because of Republican i
misconduct. The Democratic party is i
in power in every Southern State. It i
has everything its own way, and there
is nothing in any Republican platform i
or performance which threatens in any i
manner any constitutional right of any J
citizen. The victory of "the South" in
this election would not, therefore, be
redress of any wrong. It would be
merely the transfer of the government
to the control of the most sectional of
sections, which would not hesitate to
use the whole power at his command
to compensate itself for alleged wrongs,
and it would be the national approval
of political theories subversive of na
tional liberty. It can not be supposed
that such a radical aud alarming
change of administration would con
firm the present business prosperity of
the country ; that the most dangerous
financial quackeries would not at once
threaten industrial tranquility ; and
that projects of recompense for all
kinds of alleged losses would not im
mediately follow. This would be
"change" with a vengence, but not
with advantage to any conceivable in
terest.—Harper's Weekly.
Conciliation of the South.
The great problem which the Ameri
can public, or at least the Northern
and major portion of it, has had to
wrestle with for the la9t ninety odd
years is how to conciliate the South.
The attitude of the States south of
Mason and Dixon's line has been ha
bitually that of a spoiled child. In
ordinately selfish, quick tempered and
petulant the unwise policy was early
adopted of giving way to them on
every occasion simply to preserve the
peace. They came to regard them
selves not merely as so mauy States
of the Federal Union, but as being of
themselves a political entity called
"the South," whom they conceived as
the feminine gender. This querulous
female has always needed a good deal
of coaxing and fine words to keep her
in anything like a good humor. Her
interests and her honor were so easily
affected that the North was kept in a
chronic state of apology for offenses
which, with the best intentions, it was
always unwillingly giving. It was
impossible to please her, however.
Those of the North who resisted her
demands were regarded with deadly
hostility, while those who adopted a
contrary course they nicknamed dough
faces, and made little attempt at dis
guising the contempt in which they
held them.
The Constitution is a series of
compromises between the large States
and the small, and between the advo
cates of a strong government and those
who still clung to the idea of a mere
confederacy. The South, however,
needed some special concession pecu
liar to itself to secure its adherence to
the Union, and the North, even then
ready to yield everything to the threat
of disunion, allowed the slave States
alone of the thirteen to have represen
tation in Congress based on property.
• The removal of the National Capital
from the Keystone State, the natural
centre of the Union as it then existed,
to the banks of the Potomac was a
bonus to the South to secure its ac
quiescence to Hamilton's financial
• policy aud to put a stop to its mutter
ings of disunion. The whole history of
the Federal Government, from its for
mation uutil Fort Sumpter was fired
i upon, is a series of concessions to a
South always solid for its own adran
, tage. It was by this means that,
though a minority in population,
wealth and intelligence, it was able to
! make its policy thejpolicy of the nation.
Using secessions as a standing menace,
' its will and its rule in the United States
were paramount. To dispute them was
I instantly to bring home to the offender
p the charge of "stirring up sectional
. strife," while both sections vied with
. each other in covering him with ob
, loquy.
, Had the South designed to accept
the extravagaut concessions which the
, compromisers of 1861 were so ready
[ and anxious to make, she might have
centinued to nominate, perhaps, to the
I present day. The North was always
, ready to yield everything for peace
I* and only accepted war when the
. proffered olive branch was rejected
[ with scorn and the national flag greot-
I ed with shot and shell. The spoiled
child had, however, in this instance
' gone too far, and was astonished at re
ceiving one of the most terrible drub
| bings on record. To reconcilo her to
her defeat, to make her rather glad of
it, in fact, by reviving the old plan of
I unlimited concession has been the pol
( icy steadily adhered to by Northern
Democracy. To this end they have
aided and abetted the South in its prac
! tide nullification of the Constitutional
amendments adopted since the war.
They have enabled it to again control
both houses of Congress, and now
furnish a Presidential candidate whose
election will place the South as com
pletely in control of the National Gov
ernment as it was in the days of Pierce
and Buchanan
Will the process of conciliation be
then complete and sectionalism at last
at an end ? With the Executive, Leg
islative and—by the process of adding
twelve new Judges to the Supreme
Court —the Judiciary Departments un
der the control of the South, will the
"bloody chasm" be closed and pacifi
cation concluded ? It is, we think,
probable that the South will then ask
no more favors, as its will would be
law. The lauguage of request would
be heard no more, but instead of it the
words of commaud. When the South
ern Brigadiers gained the ascendency
in the National Capitol the Union sol
diers who were employees about the
building were at once discharged and
Confederate soldiers put in their place.
When these same Brigadiers have
complete control of the purse-strings of
the Nation, is it reasonable to suppose
that they will consent to vote pen
sions to the Union soldiers while the
wearers of the gray go uurewarded ?
When the principle for which Lee and
Jackson fought shall have triumphed
will their followers bo forgotten ?
There is nothing in the record of the
men who now dominato in Democratic
counsels to warrant such a conclusiou.
The proposed scheme of conciliation i
and overthrow of sectionalism would
not only be humiliating to the North,
but, without doubt, extremely expen
sive. Pensions for the rebel soldiery
and payment for all the Southern prop
erty destroyed in the war, the canoni
zation of the rebel leaders, the re
habilitation of the discredited doctrine
of the State sovereignty, the return of
the North to its old abject and apolo- j
getic attitude to the South, the com- |
plete abandonment of all that the war
gained for the victors are each essential
to the completion of the much-desired
reconciliation between the North and
the South. Sectionalism will end when
there is but one section, and that the
South. Conciliation will be complete
only when the North shall have un
conditionally surrendered.—Philadel
phia Press.
Southern Justice.
The storv of the experience of W.
L. Sprung, a Special Deputy Collector
of the Internal Revenue, will illustrate
the true Southern spirit. Sprung was
an efficient and zealous public servant,
and by his pursuit of the moonshiners
of South Carolina he incurred the
hatred of their frieuds and sympathiz
ers. lu one encounter with the gentry
Sprung's brother was killed ; in anoth
er he himself was obliged to kill an as
sailant in self-defense. For this he was
arrested and an attempt made to take
him to the interior and lynch him.
The United States Court promptly re
leased hitu on habeas corpus, when he
was rearrested on a trumped up
charge of stealing a watch, sentenced
to three years' confinement in the
State Penitentiary, and, upon repre
sentation that he was a dangerous
character, condemned to wear the ball
and chain. Strenuous efforts have been
made by President Hayes and Secre
tary Sherman to secure his release, but
although the injustice of the convic
tion was admitted by the State author
ities, they have been until Ihis week
deterred by cowardice from granting a
pardon. He reached Washington last
Thursday after having suffered for two
years punishment severe enough for
any felon, for no worse offense than
having done his sworn duty to the
United States Government. Truly,
the Solid South is in a fine state to re
ceive control of the reins of the Gov*
eminent.
General Butler.
General Butler, like Colonel Forney,
has retured to the Democratic party.
The General has labored zealously
for many years to secure the Republi
can nomination for the Governorship
of Massachusetts, but his success has
been disproportioned to Irs zeal. He
was electeu to Congress after the war,
and was an extreme Republican, and
at times a conspicuous political figure.
He was especially derided and de
nounced by the Massachusetts Demo
crats to whom he now returns in order
to take command of them. But the
General was never at home in the
same political camp with Senator
Sumner and Governor Andrew. Gov.
Andrew, indeed, always looked upon
General Butler and General Oaleb
Cushing as statesmen of the same
school, which was not bit, or Sumner's
or that of Massachusetts.
For the last few years General But
ler has been prominent as a Green
backer and an Independent Democrat,
and has stumped Massachusetts as a
Gubernatorial candidate. His amus
ing appropriation or theft of the regu
lar Democratic Convention two or
three years since, with the indignant
protest of the "regular" organization,
is familiar.
General Butler is a "smart" man,
but it has been sometimes thought
that he was altogether too smart.
There is no significance whatever in
his support of General Hancock, for
he had already ceased to be considered
a Republican, aud there was nothing
else for him to do, unless he declared
fon Gen. Weaver or Gen. Dow.
Speaking Out.
Democratic journals In the North
will take notice that Will H. Kernan
has not been for some time connected
with the Okolona States, and that any
jerky outbreak of Grey untamed State
Sovereignty sentimnut in that Missis
sippi paper can no longer be charged
upon the "importation from the North
whose object is to misrepresent the
South." That "noble old Roman,"
Colonel Harper, that "true exponent
of Mississippi opinion," has the paper
in his own hands now, and speaks tho
"real sentimont of his section." And
this is what he says in the latest is
sue of the States :
The States are tho supreme power
of the Government.
Thoy made it.
They can command it.
Like the King, they can do no
wrontf.
Their will is the law of the case.
They know no master but God.
They have made the Constitution —
they can alter or amend it.
They are wise.
They are just,
They are patriotic,
They are liberal,
They despise bruto force,
They hate coercion,
They love law,
They will die by liberty,
They are the Government.
The Federal Government is but a
delegated authority.
It never was,
It never will be,
It indeed never can be
Sovereign
It is beneath, and not above the
States.
It is subordinate, not superior to the
States.
It ia the mere agent of the States.
The State's rights theory of this
Government must be recognized.
It is the land of the land ;
It must be respected ;
It must be obeyed—
When this is done, a Federal Union
will bo perpetuated by consent.
Those are the principles for which
the Southern States went into rebel
lion and which Lee and Jackson fought
for four years. They are "the same
principles" for which the Democratic
party, controled by tho Solid South, is
now contending.
IT is the pride of nearly all the Con
federate Brigadiers to "wear the gray"
as a testimony of their devotion to the
principles for which they fought with
Lee aud Jackson, but Hancock laid
aside bis "blue" to please the rebel
women of New Orleans. If he were
President he would be ready to hand
over tho control of the Government to
Jeff Davis, who is the ablest surviv
ing representative of the principles for
which Lee and Jackson and the other
wearers of the "gray" fought
Fees of Docltr*.
The fee of doctor* is an it*u» that very many
persons arc interested in just at present. We
