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tho senator agrees with Con gressman Hardwick, who has always stood on this plank, that tho lStli amend mont should be repealed.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.
