Political Issues or th* Day."
I propose to do from a non partisan
point, and, taking a survey of exist-
partiea and their tendencies, point
what, in my opinion, are the political
saities of the day, particularly in the

Politios; to look at the peat of ex.

I Free as we claim to b,, I question if
' am am any people in the world who are
ore the slave, to ao-oalled “party feal*
' than we. The man who ohanges his
tios is looked upon as a renegade and
i tarn coat, dead to honor and inoapabl,
(honesty. Bo strong is this feeling that
a often hear men boast after this form,
*‘I have always bran a Whig, my father
eras a Whig, my grandfather was a Whig,
and I am going to be a Whig m long as I
llv*> ,nd f wilfteaoh my ion to be." You
can substitute the word “Eepublioan”
or “Deiuoorat" for “Whig," and you
will find men glorying in their political
faith. Such men are not thinkers j they
am the blind slaves of a name, and the
only possible reason they oould urge for
their unthinking allegianoe is that “party
principles never change.” But this we
kiiow to be a great mistake. I can un
derstand and honor the tenacity with
which one clings to the settled oreed of his
own church and the church of hie fath-
era, but he who pledgee biuuelf in ad
vance to a party, is a man in whose hands
suffrage becomes dangerohs and liberty a
mockery It is not necessary to su bash
many years to see the ohanges and moon-
f irnities of party platform*. The llepnb-
ican party in 1880 advocated in their
campaign the freedom of the territories.
The Douglas and Breckinridge Dem
ocrats differed as to the manner in whioh
the question of slavery in th, territories
should be settled, but undoubtedly they
had the right side of that question, leav
ing out the moral feature, of their plat,
forms, and considering only the constitu
tional right, of ih. Southern States. The
platforms ohauged in the campaign of
18G4, because new and unanticipated is
sues had s-fsen. Th, majority a# the
slave States were in revolution, and the
platform of tbs Republicans was the oon-
tinuanoe of the war, and the guaranteeing
of freedom to the manumitted negro.
That of the Democracy was the cessation
of hostilities and the preservation of the
Union through compromise Mid concilia
tion. In 18(18 the Republicans hadaa
central planks the enfranchising of the
negro, the proteotion of Amerioan manu
factured products, and tte-paymaubof the
national debt, principal ana interest in
sterling. The Democrats opposed the
immediate and unqualified enfranchise
ment of the ex-slave, advocated, though
not strongly, free trade, and, contrary to
the oreed of their fathers, they were in
favor of paper money and the multiply
ing of national bank,. In 1872 there
were platforms, but theywm artificial
and oovered on the on, hand the desire
and determination to retain power, and
on the other a spirit of opposition aggra
vated in the South by a sense of many
wrongs, and unwise, if not malicious sec
tional legislation; and Urged in the North
by men who had grown weary of the war
whioh Congress alone had kept alive long
after the brave soldiers on either side had
laid down their arms.
TH* PRESENT.
I oau find uo issues at present existing
that oan be said to be doctrines of either
parly. A glance at th* measures of na
tional importance voted on by the last
Congress will show that party lines are
very faint, and that it would be difficult
to discover them were it not for the pend
ing CongreasionaMeettoni Outlie infla
tion question the Dsmecrats and Repub
licans of the East united against the
Democrats and Republicans of the South
and West. On questions of tariff the Dem
ocrats of th. East will be found going
against the presumed creed of their par
ty, and the Republicans of the West
are now becoming tb, strongest . dis
ciples of free trade. Only on the Civil
Rights bill were the party lines drawn;
and this measure was sprang, not. be
cause it was a necessity, but as a party
tub to catch the negro whale, and keep in
the traces the black men, who an fast
getting to think for themselves. I oan
see no peace to the nation, no era of good
feeling so long oa the present parties ex
ist. The name Republican, apart from
any principle, must ever prove a' strong
battle-cry to its adherents, fer though it
olaims to be “the party of grand moral
ideas," its true strength lies in its past
successes snd the immense power giren
it by over two hnndred thousand county,
State snd national offices. R a hums to
own the negro votes by the right of crea
tion, and poiuting to its anooessss, it
calls for continued allegianoe in order to
make continued adranoe. The majority
of men do not reason; they take their
one from their leaders, and are always
fascinatecTby the political pyrotechnics
let off from the pleas sod the stump,in or
der to captivate them with the past and
make thorn -auguiue of the future. Re
publican stump speakers would hayq a
dull subject if they left out the war, and
in Older to rouse their hearers they must
play upon their feeiingB by telling them
what the Republican party has done, and
by classing the Democratic** the foes of
the Uuion and the Inciters of the war,
they open the graves of the dead and
ghoul-like ring changes on the infamy of
the revolt, and what they have dons for
the Union. Forgetting the valor, and
patriotism and the uneomptonf tog-effort of
the Houtli to achieve what she thought
was right, they show tlm graves of the
Union deed, open up the wounds afresh,
point to the widows and orphans, the
debt and the destruction of thecommeree
and ao keep alive for party purposes the
base passions and fiendish spirit of re-
vrage that ofiiy actual war could in any
way excuse. A disinterested statesman
hearing these partizana might reasonably
ask, “If these people South Mttrwhatyon
represent, they ar, oertainly very unde-
victory may oome to you; nay, I will work
for you aa well as pray; but I eall on yon
now to remember my words, If the Re
publican and Duiooxatio pabtixs sup
port EACH A OANDIDATX IN 76, THX DkHO-
CUAT8 WILL BE BEATEN WOBSX THAN IN
1872. Bo long as they exist the war ex
ists. Bat a new party, well organised,
with fresh, pore blood in its veins, and
led by good men, will b, limply irresist
ible.
I advise yon then not to be the ultves of
s name, but ratter to prepare joumelves
by 1876 for s new party, oompoaed of th,
bast alaiMnts North and Boutb, the men
who own ahd work th, land, and under
whose banners able, honest man will be
nominated to sweep to immediate snoceas,
with the hates of tb, nut buried, snd
“progress, integrity, ana eoonomy” their
watob wards.
THE ISSUES.
The World is progressive, sad the man
or the party who woald win must stand in
the advance, not be swerVed by the jura
whieh ail progressive people most anooun-
Opposifloo to accomplished facts Is
retrogression. We most aooept existing
condition,, sad tlua work to sunset their
evils, not from individual like, or preju
dices, bnt for tha good of the wh<Ae na
tion. Tbe true politician only oontidara
the conmon, good, and no man oan b, a
statesmsb wmokinte tjbly Of his own sec
tion or the fate of his own party. Hare,
in the South, however, men era too muoh
agitated by tte memory of th, unwise
treatment they have been sabjeoted to,
and suffering stnt so much from the pov
erty and change antuiled by the war, that
they oannot be" expected to take • broad
view of pstiunsl politics, when their ooun-
ties aad States are oootrolled by bad, in-
efficient, and dishonest men. Had Liu-
ooln lived, a manly :ud ganeroas course
would have been pursued, and the Sooth
have teas aided in reorganising her State
govemmeptH, and in sending her proper
regrsasptetivea to Oongreu, bnt u it was
recraaMction beoame a series of cruel
outragM, and pardons, that should never
have been necessary, a oontinned source
of humiliation. Northern adventurers
swarmed to the South, and tbeir “loyalty"
was considered an onset to their ignoranoe
and infamy. Bnt bad as these men were,
they were small in numbers and inflnenoe,
compared with that class of men who, for
tbe sake of offioe, helped to fasten tb,
chain; on the limb, of their Southern
brothers.
To say the Detnoorat, of the Booth have
noted wisely ind well sine# the war, would
be a mistake; but this oan be Mid, when
ever they have bad tbe control of a State
in tbe Booth they have enforced the laws,
ed the credit of U* State, and this they
did because their individual interests,
their knowledge of tbeir neceesitiM, and
tbeip State pride and patriotism, Impelled
them to a oonise opposite to that which
the Administration party bad pnranad.
Demooraoy South la very different from
that North; here nine-tenth, of th, man
of means and culture are Democrats, and
the Republicans belong, m • role, to the
poor, ignorant, and unreasoning class. In
tbe Nortb tbe Boboola and ahnrebe,, the
wealth and position are largely Republi
can, while the poor, ignorant, and even
lawless classes belong largely to tbe De
mocracy; so that men me attracted to

sirable citizens, and von did a wrong,
nay, you were guilty of the moqt terrible
orime in biatory, in preventing their In
dependence by war, whenypn oannot
give them tbeir rights and yonr respect
in peace. ” So long as tbe Ropfiblican
party exists, ao lopg will the bad feelings
arising from ignoranoe between the sec
tions, as did the war, be kept alive, There
ia much to admire in this party. It has
prodneed able men, bnt it has accom
plished its purpose, and every dag it lives
destroys its repptaripn. Bnt there is one
thing that keeps : thO Republican party
alive, and that is tbe Deiuoeratio party—
a party that for tbe last fourteen years,
has been principally distinguished for the
number of its poor prophets, and tbe te
nacity with which it oliage Ao the skele
ton of detql issues. It exist* simply as a
party of opposition, find blindly kicks
against the inevitable aa if it would undo
what tha war has accomplished. As the
Republican party baa become corrupt and
arrogant by its long lease of office; -o the
Democratic party has beoo'me fnth affd
attenuated by itfl absence from the na
tional breast, and its clamors for place
have the wail of the hungry, wanting
bread. They mast both go down, and the
sooner the epitaphs of existing parties are
written the sooner peace and prosperity
will eomo to onr too long distracted land.
It ia better to leok fools squarely in tbe
face than to bug a deceit impelled by pur
hopes. I believe that tbo Democrats, as
a party, will meet with many BUR, End lo
cal snccsses this year aad next; but if
they Moept these skirmishes as evidences
of a viotory in 1876, they will- be terribly
dirappointed. Gen. Gordon, I see, speaks
confidently of a Democratic triumph in
the *Ht Presidential built, ia
mistaken. I know, theiMMle of the Nortb
well. I know theffithtbugb a dozen States,
snd white they are sink «C tb. Republican
party Mid anxious for a change, they will
never permit tbe Democrat*, as a party,
to bold the reins in Washington. Here,
in Alabama, you are now straggling for
tb, salvation of your State, and I pray that
“But,” you may sqy, “Would yon have

THE NEOUO.
One of the presumed issnee to-day, in
tbe South, is the ill-defined bnt gradually
widening one between tbe blaok and white
raees. To widen this is the object of tbe
opponents of the Sonth, and Soothern men
heretofore have blindly aided in turning
this most important element against them-
selres. We hoar of “a war of raoes" as
impending, and some men, claiming to be
the friends of this State, even bint at a
possible contest in which blood may be
shed. Every whisper of this kind is thun
der tor soar enemies. Tbe negro is a oit-
'.*n, am) it R ,o*aible to mate him u val-
ofie. Without his labor, to-day the
uable
South-would be a wilderness, and bad it
not boon fdr his fidelity during tbe war,
and bis love for bis master, tbe most fear
ful Hcsuea of carnage would hare been in
the rear of th. Southern army. I heard a
gentleman, in making a speeoh soma time
ainoe, say, ‘‘I-am in favor of educating
all)" then, ourseoting himself, he added,
“I mean.a# the Cauassisn race." Now,
when we look at tbe past of the negro, in
his own, tend as. a savage, and here as a
slave, thare is but little to wonder at in
his ignorance and immorality, while there
teinuchte admire in his efforts to im
prove aud rise. As he is a oitizsn, with a
vote, an effort should be made to educate
him, that be may use that vote intelligent
ly,, but to keep him in ignoranoe is to
breed criminals, and make ready tools for
the use of suoh’ men as now control yonr
State. Tbe interests of tbe men who own
tbo- tend ss4 the men who work it are
identical, and na effort should be left un
tried to sboW tM black men ttet tew, or
der, economy, and integrity in the affair,
of your Blate are to bta advantage as well
as yaws. I shall despair of peaoo and
prosperity to white man mud blaok in the
Boutb, when color becomM the badge of
party, and those who thoughtlessly adro-
cate it are but preparing this distracted
land for lower depths of poverty and deg
radation than have yet been sounded. I
would, therefore, advise ttet you honest,
ly and patriotically mate overturn* to th.
blaok men, show them the oommon neces
sity for a change in Alabama, and though
you oannot hope for immenm accessions,
particularly from the more ignomot, you
will open a breech through whioh they
will yet oome aa freemen to stand by you
in the support of yonr common interests.
CANDIDATES.
Thera was a time in this country When
the office sought the man, and the man
filled the office as mi honor, not an •
means for mahiug money; but ttet day
seems past. Great aa is the necessity for
a unity of aotiou, end an utter abnegation
of self for the publio good, yet we find in
this State that for every offioe there are,
on an average,eight party candidates, eaoh
working for himself. This oannot bo
avoided, but depeud upon it, it will be a
aouroe of weakness, particularly where
men announce ‘ 'they are candidates wheth
er regularly nominated or not.” OA at
the eight men, seven must be dlMppolnt-
ed, and they would be more than human
if they worked ter the aficoeMful man aa
bard aa they oould work for fhamaelva*.
Muoh of your suae ess will depend upon
your candidates, and you should enter on
this struggle for tte Redemption of your
State with leaden well and widely known,
and under tbe tongue of good report, aud
every man olaiming to love his State
should work heart and soul for the suc
cess of tbe regular candidate.
I hear men aay, “Ob, we will sweep Al
abama; w* have twenty thouund majori
ty in favor of good Contervative man.”
These boasts about majorities are danger
ous, and are more apt to lead to defeat than
the knowledge ttet you had twenty thou
sand votes against you, whioh you must
work to overeome. I believe myself ttet
you oan win; but you will havo a hard
fight with a toe whose strength, ragouroee,
and ability you will err in underrating.
He tea the prestige of present occupa
tion, bespeaking former suooess, and only
hard, brave, unselfish, and persistent work
on the pert of every good oitlzen will ao-
oompUsh tbe result so muoh to be desired.
THE rUTUKE OF PASHTO.
In the pending elections I oau sea no
tests whereby to judge of the fnture of
I jarties. There are to-day no party issues,
or I oonaider the Civil Rights bill s pow
er in the tends of the Repubtioans ouly
white it exists in theory snd agitation.
The condition of the pnblio mind will be-
oome more and more ohaotio until tb,
raring of 1876, and then from ttet ohsoe,
like a new birth to the nation on her o*n-
tonnlal anniversary, will evolve the princi
ples for future guidsnoe. Heretofore, at
leMt for the last half century, polities bra
been a profession, and the 1 voters of tbe
tend have become th, pawn, of their polit
ical masters. Th'e primitive parity hM gone
with the primitive sbnplieity, snd love of
oonatry has degenerated Ihto love of of
fioe. Indeed, North and Boutb, East and
West, we have departed from the undent
faith, snd while waiting for the day of tha
tew, w, have given onrselves op to th,
worship of th, gold,n aalf. WnaMMdte
man now by tbeir wealth, uncaring for it,
origin, sad, like snobs, wo bow to the
Orceras of to-day, forgetting ttet yeator-
dsy ha hang on tha ntmoat verge ef tha
law. Onr individual characters need
ohanging, snd wa should work for tb,
right, not because there ia money in it,
but beosuM it is right,'Mid we Should
boldly denouno, lawlessness snd wrong,
nnoaring for the standing of the individ
ual or the party to whieh he belongs.
The poiutesl Bassoon is despoiling the
Holy City, and reveling above tbe grs*M
of the prophets; but a orusade it forming
silently, so silently tbst many wbo ore
enrolling in tbo ranks do not dsre to
breathe to themselves the final object of
tbeir mission. They era gathering slang
the sunny slopes of tbe Fsaifio, in the
vineyards of California, amid the silver
mountains of Nevada, and np in the gold
en wheat fields washed hy the mighty Or
egon. Silently, but with an earnestness
that eon consider no defect, these men
are gathering in mighty armies ia tbe
great West. From where the Miaaiasi|>Mi
steels from s Minnesota lake in the region
of fieroe winters; to the State where tbe
Father of Waters weds tbe blue waves of
the Gulf nesth a tropics) sky, men sturdy
sad earnest are forming in tharacks and
training for the duties of this mighty cru
sade. Their banners are rising under tbe
shadow of tbe Hooky mountains, snd
down tbe Allegbsuics cornea tbo whisper
of their gslbering. The bustle of New.
England mills oannot drown the Dotes of
tbeir preparation, nor tbe shouts in the
Bsbel of corameroa render vague the low,
strong voioe. By the Susquehanna they
sra rallying, snd along the olsssio Poto
mac, sod tbe biatono James, the modern
crusaders are inspired for the pending
struggle. South Carolina looks tear-dim-
med from her ssbes, snd with bauds
otaspod sod fsoe turned to Heaven, breetb-
leuly she watobes the sign in tbe sky.
Georgia retebes her band to Alabama—a
strong matron supporting u fallen ohild,
and she whispers “courage, my daughter,
ooursge; they are ooming! Thank the
God A our fathers, they are ooming 1 Up,
and bo brave 1 Throw off tbe rags and
tbe oheina 7 Bare tbo sword of juatioe,
snd be ready to strike, for the boar of the
nation’s triumph ia dawuiag! Be patient,
be strong, sod be vigilant.” Who are
these crusaders, you ask; snd what nre
the qualifications for membership ? To
stand trader tbeir flag, they do not ask
your politics in tbs pest; they osra not
tbe alter at wbiob you kneel, or the land
in which you Ant saw light. Old and
young, man snd women, Jew snd Gen
tile, foreigner aud Amerioan; would tbst
I oould add blaok and white, though that
is coming, are alike eligible as soldiers iu
this army. “Who are they?” They are
the men who own the tend; the tura who,
tiring of their slsrery to corrupt politl-
oians, are determined, when tbe hoar for
the oonfliot comas, to unite for the oom
mon good, with the watch word, “Tho
men who own the land must rale it."
Their suaoess moons prosperity snd pesos;
their failure, corruption and centraliza
tion. When tbe Northern farmer makes
oommon cause wilh tbe Southern planter,
the differences of the past will be forgot

the success of tbe futnro.
