THURSDAY JUNE 5, 187* doubted last winter w hen it was made necessary by the failure of certain bills, and now, that its probable results are apparent to all men, I am confirmed in the opinion that it wiia a {ffilitical blunder. While the debate lias liecn? characterized by unusual ability, yet at the same time sectional strife and partisan bitterness have seemingly ruled our deliberations. Old wounds have been re-opened and battle fields have passed with panoram ic horror Lb rough the hails of our fed eral when we had pursuad- tturselves that they were overgrown •• fth flowers and evergreens. The ef- has been made to revive all the pas hms and bates of our civil war, to sec tlonalizo the count ry , to solidify the north and to solidify the south,and then to throw these two great divisions of a common country, thus antagonized, in to the political struggle of next year. The effort has been made, and l think it was the prompting motive in origi nating this extra session, to create new’ political issues for the next presiden tial campaign. This would he desirable if with some ‘new issues’ we could sup plant the old issue of sectionalism which has so long blighted and mil dewed the legislation of this country; but I fear the‘new issue’ were intend ed to divert the popular mind from the financial and revenue reforms demand :ed by the labor of the country. There ; are many aspiring party managers who w ould like to see these “new issues’’ ! supplant the questions: “Shall we have j an unlimited coinuge of silver?’ —Shall we modify or abolish the rax on tobac j coand whiskey y-Shall we remodel our I tariff duties so as to make it. a tariff for ! revenue only, instean of a tariff for pro tection?”—“Shall we levy a tax on the millions of dollars invested in the bonds of the government instead of taxing the ; industries ountry ?” These and ncstious are now of Bican people ects. Noth them in our us. Men are mis of their ition ot per eoinfortable households, aion of an- |^Bictions.

Shall because we have been defeat ed laws that have been on the statute books for many years, and under the operation of which laws the democratic party has been restored to power in botli houses of congress? The i south as a section cannot afford to go on record as a revolutionary element in i this government. Nor should northern fanatics, of either party, force the exi gency upon us. The south expects her representatives to act with wisdom and I prudence. We are not sent here to man ufacture political capital for presiden tial aspirants, independent of our duty to the whole country. I think the high ; pressure excitement of this whole ses sion has impressed the public with its I artificial and faetitous character. It may be considered an evidence of pluck, if not of patriotism, to stand here and to ‘fight it out on this line if it takes all summer,’ but 1 run much rais ! taken if this “wordy war” of giants I will supply the popular demand for ma terial assistance and political quiet, which the south so greatly needs. Having failed to accomplish the re peal of the measures in question, at this session of congress, we should pass i the appropriation bills without delay —thus supporting and sustaining our government. If further delay promised any favorable outlook, w’e might coun ; sel it —but we can see nothing ahead but ; continued debate. —prolonged and : stormy to the end of the chapter. The president has assumed, the responsibili ty of the veto—we cannot risk a depar ture from constitutional methods tore i buke his action. The issue has been ‘ made. The position of every member of congress is well. understood by his recorded votes. Let. the whole matter be ! carried to the people—to that final arbi . ter of all political questions—the ballot ! box. I protest that the democratic par ty is not and will not become a revolu tionary party. Whatever else it- may inscribe oil its banners, it will yet keep ■ emblazoned on its folds the constitution i the union ami laws.— Chronicle and (.'on* i stitutiouaHst. p It is possible that the fourth estate,as the pioneer of mind, may really become the first. From every quarter comes the gratifying intelligence of progressive newspaper independence. Even the ChrmMe and C'oustttutionalM denies that it is a party organ being willing to give both sides of any question a fair hearing. The Savannah marks upon this avowal: “That is the idea,that is the right tone, that is the way to teach the people to be independent. A paVtv ‘organ’ is a par ty tool, a party horn blower, an echo of party leaders,*conventions and caucus es. When self-constituted parlv* lead ers, ring organizers and nb?3Y stuhip. speakers learn that the press isfy depen dent of them and their opinions, theru will be less of demagog ism on their para and more of intelligence on the part ofl the people.” \ - 1 ff MGS, kff B.
