The senator feels that tills should not to

Republican parties la mcro Ilian econo

He calls to mind the fact that the
■Democrat io party aaved ttie aontli from

sole aohlevemont it ought to command
the everlasting ntiogiam-o of every white
man In the south. He denies the state
ment that thoro Is no negro question
Hii.l ys if the whiles are riivi.lfil .1
will quickly appear. He sums up his
whole oontentlou In tho question. "Do
we believe In white enpremoy?” An
expression of great interest ia the fol
lowing:
"But white it would be groet injustice,
aud while the North ought to bo too mag
nantmoas to exact it, still if the repeal
of thelBtl-Amendmout can be secured
tn no other way, It wonldiu my opinion
be better for the Southern States to pay
the price of a loss of a part of Its repre
sentation rather than that this eternal
controversy over the negro and the ino-
liable sectional differences nnd ant
month's resulting thorefrom should con
tinue during' all the Indefinite future.
Tho loss of any part of oar' just repre
sentation in congress would benoeetly
a crlfioc, ono to bo consented to only lit
ease t.f absolute necessity to accomplish
a greater good.
Indeod tho senator agrees with Con
gressman Hardwick, who has always
stood on this plank, that tho lStli amend
mont should be repealed. He says tl.nt
until it Is repoalod tlio white men of the
south must stand together, and that if
t to Republican party doe* not repeal
the amendment it la a sign that they
desire the opportunl’y tor negro rule
and negro office bolding.
Written In the strongest style of a
strong thinker, Senator Bacon’s letter
cannot fail to attract wide spread at
tention. It Is a forceful, oompleto and
logloal presentation of his cate, but In
our opinion he will find few to agree
with him. To the ordinary observer of
men and events, there appear* to be but
small danger of tho disintegration of tha
Democratic party in the aoutli. Standing
on the watch tower and peering Into the
future with prophetle vtalon the •«(*
tor may see what the common I ye can
not. Forewarned le forearmed and Ills
note of alarm can do no harm. Southern
men, however, learn Democracy

ty they may appear to forget the one or
the other or both, but In time* of stress
and danger, the Democracy U rare to

Nor can we see the wisdom, or even
the utility of raising the question at
