THE SOUTH.
What unusual language is this float
ing in the sunny air of our beloved
South, as if it was a new land and in
habited by a new people. Still wo
have the same country with its pict-
uresquo and beautiful cainpagnes,
unsurpassed by any country on the
habitable globe. We have the mar
tial hvmns of the old revolution, and
of ’01-’65, which have freedom’s mur
mur and martial glory about them,
and we have the same freedom which
was gained by the valor of our revo
lutionary fathers, and is the birth
right of their descendants. In the
debate on the Lecompton constitu
tion, the South gained the victory,
and the Supreme Court decided, that
the people of the South had the right
to go into the territories with their
slaves and be protected in their pos
session there. The North and not the
South, were violators of the constitu
tion and resisted the decision of the
Supreme Court. This led to the war
between the States. The South pro
posed a peaceful separation, the North
resorted to arms. She claimed pre
eminence in morality, intelligence,
philanthropy and civilization supe
rior to the God of battles, who sus
tained the slavery institutions of the
Jews, and by force of arms, with all
the world to aid her, sustained her
unlawful claim and the South was
forced to yield. For our present pur
pose we care not to describe the op
pressions which followed Southern
defeat. The North and the whole
world saw that bolts and bars and
confiscation, cannot conquer the spir
it, nor forever destroy the liberties of
a brave and gallant people. For the
purpose, in view, we need only say
that all sections are now, we hope,
happily united under the assumed
name of an “Indissoluble union of
Indestructible states.” We come,
now to the main object in view. We
object to the appellation, so often ap
plied in our papers. North and South,
to our Southern section, as “The New
South.” No one lias ever seen it so ap
plied, to the Southern States, in the
columns of the Union-Recorder. It
is the Old South, growing older, ev
ery hour, under freedom’s holy ban
ner. Our readers will remember how
in the sunny air of Georgia, a portion
of our people were designated as
Bourbons, who forgot nothing and
learned nothing new.
They were alluded to as enemies to
progress, the peace, quiet and happi
ness of the people. One, under the
vague description of their offenses,
might suppose they are political in
cendiaries, to put whom in power,
would retard the progress of prosperi
ty, and interrupt the public tranquil
ity. And who are these deadly ene
mies of Bourbonism? Are they ene
mies of states rights? Are they cen
tralists who favor high protective tar
iff, and the degradation of the states?
If not these, who are they? If not
these, and if they are here, v'e should
have to appeal to omniscience for a
miraculous revelation of their exist
ence and personalities.
There were, undoubtedly, many,
who for a time, did desire the rejec
tion of the doctrine of Mr. Lincoln,
that the States bear the same rela
tion to the general government that
the counties do to the States, and for
a complete and harmonious reconcil
iation of all the sections, and progress
in the material interests of each, fa
vored the re-establishment of the Un
ion as first established, that each and
every State, restored to their original
dignity, should worship at the same
political altar as friends, devoted to a
common freedom, the birthright of
each. This was the view of the Bour
bons. It was seen, after the expira
tion of several years, that their views
coidd not succeed and the wliple
country settled down upon the senti
inent <>f an “Indissoluble Union of
Indestructible States.” This put the
stamp of State upon Georgia and all
tlio other States of the South and the
entire Union. It would be as reason
able to say the New North, the New
East, the New West, as the New
South. This designation is used,
boastfully, as if we were an improved
people, as if we were a better people
than we were before the war; as if we
were a richer people.' This would
convey the idea that the loss of thru*
hundred thousand southern lives, of
three billions of dollars of property,
had chastened our principles, improv
ed our public and political morals,
and entitled us to boast over our tem
porary misfortunes. Our fallen sons
cannot be restored to life, and we do
not hesitate to say that the confisca
tion of our property is, and ever will
be, a stain upon the justice and hon
or of the government under which wo
lived. The robber, With a brace of
istols at his girdle, n bowie knife at
is side, and an ugly looking rifle on
his shoulder, after levying black-mail
retired to his hiding place in the for
est, or under the ground, but the gov
ernment with Abraham Lincoln at its
head, in the open day and before the
civilized world committed this rob
bery of tlio Southern people. Beside
it, the fame and glory of our South
ern leaders and soldiery, will shine in
unspotted lustre in the eternal years.
These men of the old south, and we
ask what is there in the so-called New
South, to excite some of our people
to boast over it in comparison with
the old? Perhaps the speculators, in
mines of iron and gold, elated with
success, imagining themselves to bo
the New South, so-called, overlooking
the many millions who have been and
still are the victims of governmental
robbery. The great inass of the
Southern people not only still feel the I
terrible results of the war, but the I
horrid robberies of the Protective tar
iff. It. has cut deep gashes in the con
stitution, but the ever faithful South
resists it now as ever in the past. In
the defense of liberty, and the true
principles of the constitution the
south exhibits at this moment its
gaping wounds. In all that is
true ami glorious she has been
ever faithful. We have no new South
—but the old South—the onlv South,
with her unvarying standard of prin
ciples, with her great, heart inaceeesi-
ble to bribery and as immovable as
the foundations of the Earth. There
was in her character and ptnciples an
archetypal elevation and grandeur
which found its origin in the unvary
ing standard of her Jefferson who had
no standard of reference to direct him
but drew his conclusions from mo
mentary and self-constructed theory
and conjecture. His heart was inac
cessible to bribery and as immovable
as the foundations of the earth.
There was in his character and prin
ciples nn archetypal elevation and
grandeur which found their origin in
his extraordinary genius. His prin
ciples were as firm as adamant, while
his mind glittered like the diamond.
The South has ever been imbued with
his imperial standard of patriotic
thought and principle, and though
she fell under the overwhelming num
bers of the North, the Jeffersonian
rock of principle is the basis upon
which she stands and will stand for
ever.
As the South stood upon them be
fore the war, she in every fortune,
will embrace them and never pros
trate her spirit under despotic and
arbitrary exaction. What the South
was she still is and will remain r o in
every fate and fortune. Hence in
triumph and defeat, she is the same
South and will be the same in sun
shine or storm, in success or defeat.
There can be no New South in good
fortune or bad, in success or defeat.
She may be the prosperous South and
that is assured—but the New South—
Never.
The Resignation of President Grevy.
News from Paris, as late as the 2nd
instant, conveys the information of
the resignation of the Presidency by
Moris. Grevy. His letter of resigna
tion was read in the Chamber of Dep
uties on that, day and was received in
painful silence. He recited in it the
services he rendered the country and
said he leaves the office with a sad
heart and will not be responsible for
future events.
We have always regarded M. Grevy
as a wise and patriotic statesman,
who favored a peace policy for France
and believed it could be maintained
without the sacrifice of the national
honor. He was anxious to retain his
position, not, in our opinion, for the
honor conferred by it, but for the
power it would give him to guide the
destiny of France in safety and pros
perity, without war and possibly a
bloody revolution. This, doubtless,
inspired the remark in his message
that he will not be responsible for fu
ture events. An election took place the
next day resulting as follows : Frey-
c.inct 190; Brisson 84: Sadi Carnot 27;
Flaquet 26; Ferry 11. Only Republi
can deputies and Senators voted. A
riot occurred caused by revolutionists
and socialists, but they were routed
by the police and cavalry. A num
ber of persons were wounded. The
rioters were finally dispersed. An
other riot occurred after midnight
which was also suppressed. Sixty
persons were injured in this second
riot. Every precaution was taken to
prevent an outbreak both in Paris
and in the Provinces. All of tin- gen
erals who had been visiting Paris re
turned to their commands. General
Boulangertook his departure for Cler
mont Ferrous the following morning.
On the fill the decisive ballot ot the
joint congress for President resulted
as follows; Sadi Carnot (119; Taussier
186; Ferry 11; Freycinct 5, Appel 0;
Pyut 1. Most of these candidates had
withdrawn in favor of Carnot but re
ceived the few votes of ardent friends.
Carnot had filled several high offices
and was always an ardent supporter
of a constitutional republican govern
ment. He was numerously congrat
ulated by his opponents, many of
whom called upon him at his private
room where he was engaged in wri
ting. With the expression of warm
thanks for their kind words and the
expression of his gratitude to the as
sembly who he said, in uniting their
suffrages in my favor, bore witness to
the desire for peace and concord with
which republican France is animated.
My dearest wish is that this great day
limy remain present in all minds and
hearts. We pass over other interest
ing matters and conclude by referring
to an immense call of the people to
tender their joyful greetings at M.
Sadi-Carnot’s residence. In response
to their cheers he appeared at a win
dow and said : “I give you my hearty
thanks, citizens, and beg you to prove
by your regard for order that you are
worthy to have a republican govern
ment.” At the conclusion of the Pres
ident’s remarks the people cried, ‘vive
le Republique,’ and quietly dispersed.
It is hard to uproot an idea in the
minds of some people. They will hug
a delusion; fondle and caress it all
their lives. But if a sufferer with
piles thinks he cannot be relieved,
just let him try a bottle of Tabler’s
Buckeye Pile Ointment, and be con
vinced that this preparation is a per
manent cure for Piles.
