Radicalism is Neither Dead
Nor Sleepeth.
Those who imagine Republicanism,
in its bitterest ami meanest form, as
a thing of the past, are widely mis*
taken. Those who look upon Hayes’
so-called “ Southern policy” as likely
to overthrow the Republican party,
or that from it, good will inure to the
South, have simply tailed to compre
hend the “true inwardness” of the
administration policy. Those who
have supposed Hayes other than a
scheming politician, a model specimen
of New England puritanism, have
studied his publfe character to little
purpose. It is true, hiB course t owards
the 8»Uth, so far, has beeu conserva
tive, and such as we ;mist accept
freeiy, fully, and without opposition,
since it brings to us more of freedom
and the right ot local self-go vein -
.. ment than has been our portion for
the past dozen years. But this is a
conservatism with a purpose; con
servatism not of principle, but from
the logic of events. That Hayes is a
mast avowed Republican, the leader
and exponent of the most dangerous
wing of Republicanism, there can he
no successful denial. That his admin
istrative conservatism is but the ex
pose of a deep-laid and adroillyjfbon-
ceived Radical strategy for the disin
tegration of the Democratic party,
especially at the South, no one who
has given thought or study to the
political tendency of the times, will
ior 3 moment gainsay. That his pro-
tossed “ Southern policy” is other
than the result of that united action
on the part of the Southern Democ
racy which made Radicalism to fear
the “ 8olid South,” and wasnccessaiy
both to secure him the presidency
and to sustain his administration,
cannot be questioned, for the record
proves it. When we reflect that it is
the “ Solid South” which gives the
National Democracy its strength and
power; when we remember that the
South with her electoral vote needs
only the co-operation of New York,
Connecticut, New Jersey or Indiana,
which are decidedly Democratic, in
order to control and shape ilte desti
nies of our government, is it at all
surprising that Hayes and the Repub
lican party should fear and tremble
and with that political acumen wliieSi
has ever characterized Radicalism,
week, to break the-solid ranks of the
Southern De mocracy ? It has been
well said .that “the hardest blow
t hat the Republican party, has struck
at the Demooravy in several years is
io tlicir determination to entirely
abandon their political organization
in the South.” What could more
certainly or effectually bring about
the much-desired disintegration of
Our Southern Democratic ranks, than
l>y this abandonment of bayonet and
Carpet-bag influence in the South, to
(inis aid the “ independent move
ment” which now so seriously threat
ens the safety and welfare of our
country, and which finds its support
and encouragement among dema
gogues, office-seekers and sore-heads,
whose vaulting ambition knows no
interest but self? This is the “true
invvnrdne.s” of the much-udked-nf
conservatism of the present adiniuis- |
(ration. This is the subtle strategy,
the political shrewdness of that Radi- j
calL-m which finds its origin and abode j
in the hot-beds of New England
I imtunism, and of which Hayes,
1 /.Ort.-ti,:.-r
1 through that fraud and corruption
; which serves its vitality, is the
I commissioned leader. This is tin-
! “ Southern policy” which untbink-
j ing, unwise and foolish men would
| laud, and which the South should
; accept as a fortuitous turn in the
j wheel of her prolitical fortunes, by
\ which she should mould herself into
j an impregnable barrier against future
! corruption and oppression, through
j which, that which was devised as the
j instrument of our political overthrow
1 may prove the sword of retributive
i justice, the boomerang of Radicalism,
! when the restoration of power to the
i South aud a return to good and honest
i government will be the just, but uuex-
i pected, unintended reward.
With these unquestionable facts,
| which should ever stare us in the face,
■ will the Southern democracy desert
| its colors, when upon tho very eve of
most glorious victory ? Let the Dem
ocracy of the South, be not shaken:
let it remain solid in that political or
ganization which has rescued us from
the hands of our oppressors; let us bo
true to principle, true to our country,
truo to ourselves, true to our party or
ganization and in the near future we
we will triumphantly behold the death
and decay ot Radicalism, when ours
will again be *' the land of the free and
the home of the prosperous.” Let our
people be not deceived by those who
would tell them that Radicalism is
dead} that fraternal relations between
the sections have, been restored; that
the hour of our deliverance is at hand:
that uew parties and new party lines
are now necessary for the purification
and guidance of ourlocal governments;
that alone through a new-departure
can the needed economy, retrenchment
and reform be secured. This is all
political balderdash, the prating-of
1876, for State and National tickets,
and the undoubted right of President
Ilayes and Vice President Wheeler to
publican party in Ohio has now
raised. They are defined with the
greatest distinctness in the platform
the electoral votes of those States was of the party, and in the speeches of
affirmed by the highest and most im
partial tribunal that could be organ
ized nnder the authority of the na
tional government—a tribunal to which
Democrats in both branches in Con
gress gave their deliberate assent.
ot . the Democratic party now to raise
a cry of fraud is both unmanly and
dishonest, and if persisted it must be
accepted as an indication that the par
ty in its mad career for power is wil
ling to incur all hazards of anarchy
| and revolution.
The proceedings of the Constitu
tional Convention have been too volu
minous and of too uncertain a char
acter, under the reconsideration
mania, for ns to attempt to give them
in the different issues m the Georgian.
A.s it is greatly to be hoped that
adjournment is now .near at hand,
this hope being strengthened by the
its candidate for Governor. They
are new and startling; but they agree
well with each other National Fraud
as the means of making Presidents,
Communism as the means of mrn-
lating property, labor, and society,
form a coherent body of political
doctrine If the people like them,
they will approve of them, and vote
for the candidates who represent
them. If they do not like them, they
will reject at once the doctrines and
the candidates.

B. H. Hill, onr United States Sena

only ambition is eelf-agrandizement,
whose patriotism sleeps with tlicir an
cestors, and whose political principles
arc measured by the glittering allure
ments of office. No, Republicanism
is neither dead, nor sleepeth. With
renewed life aud vigor, with intensified
bitterness, meanness and sectional ani
mosity it again lifts'iss hydra-head
from Maine to Mexico. As proof of
what we have asserted, we append the
following resolutions of the recent
Maine Republican Convention, which
for glaring misrepresentation, sectional
animosity, boldness of purpose and
unprincipled effort to fire anew the
Northern heart, equals if not excels
anything which has ever before been
furnished by this government despoil
ing party, with which" to blacken the
history of the American republic:
Resolved, That most kindly and
fraternal relations should be enter
tained between all sections of our com
mon country, and peace,, good will,
quiet and harmony have always been
most cordially desired and labored for
by the Republicans of Maine. They
believe these great ends can be secured
only by the free exercise of politcal
opinion and the most unrestrained
liberty of party organization. They 1
view, therefore, with solicitude and
alarm, the complete consolidation of
all political power, in the sixteen South
ern States in the hands.of„those who
participated in the rebellion, .while
white Union men are persecuted into
silence or banishment. The entire
colored race is so ..practically disen-
frauchished by force and fear that in
Congressional districts where they have
two-tbirds of the voters they are una
ble to elect one of their own race or a
white man who sympathizes with their
interests.- Thirty.flve representatives
in Congress and thirty-five votes in the
Electoral College, apportioned to the
Southern States because ot their col
ored population, arc thus inverted to
the sole aggrandizement of the Con
federate power in tho National Gov
ernment. and the late rebel soldiers in
Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi
and Louisiana are thus enabled to
exert in the administration of the gov
ernment more than double the politi
cal [tower of the Union soldiers in any
Northern State.
Resolved, That the States of South
Carolina, Florida and Louisiana were
fairly aud legally carried by the Re
publicans at the November election,

the fraudulent and illegal claims which
seek to rob her treasury,, then may she
become apprehensive ojfflQjcrcditboth
at home and abroad. "BiTt so long as
she has tho wisdom to stamp with re
pudiation the bogus issues which carry
not with them the legal obligation of
the State, her credit will be enhanced
and her legal bonds and securities will
be worth a premium in the markets of
tho world.
The New York Hun in commenting
upon the great living issues, inaugura
ted in the Ohio Republican platform,
has this to say: Never before have
the State elections in the first year of
a new presidential term turned upou
issues of such novelty, such magnitude,
and such vital importance as those
which are to be decided at the polls in
thie coming autumn. -
With a propriety which seems al
most providential, the keynote of the
autumn elections in all the States is
pitched in Ohio, the State which fur-
uished the country with the fraudulent
President and with some of the chief
conspirators and agents through whose
action he was put into office.
The new issues brought to [he front
in Ohio are two, and each of them is
of transcendent consequence. They
are conceived by the Republicans ot
that State briefly as follows: >
I. The electoral conspiracy and
the fraud 1 through which the man
who was rightfully elected President
was depafiatrof .the office while it was
conferred upon the man whom the
people had rejected—this conspiracy
and this fraud shall not only he con
doned and forgiven, but positively ap
proved and glorified.
II. The American political and
social system, whose cornerstone is
liberty, and whose manifestation is
the freedom of individual and asso
ciate action without government in
terference, should be suppressed; and
in its place there should be established
a centralized government interfering
in everything; with a Communistic
system of business and labor in which
the Government should own or con
trol all great industrial undertakings,
regulate the rates of wages, and di
rect and supervise all social relations
generally.
These Are the issues which the Re-
und certainly we should not have
noticed it but from the fact that some
of the. true press of the State have
unfortunately, and doubtless thought
lessly given circulation to the gross
misrepresentation, and hence this sim
ple act of justice to our United States
Senator.

to the effect that a bold outrage has

place by Mexican banditti. Fifteen

and the jailer and released two noto
