Aas matiers will then stand, théro ls but little dpgbr. that the so-called Indo- pondont party will liold tho balanos of powor; aud, if it should throw itd voto with the regulaz Topublican pariy, the two together will olect tholr Pronldent, tholr Congress, and oarry noatly threo-fourths of tho Stata elections. It will bo natural for ‘the Indopendonts to gravitate toward the Republican party, from the fact that thoy aro noarly all orgiual Ropublicans, who, for various rensons, Lecame dissutinficd with their own party, aud ofither voted with the Domacracy, or rofused to voto at all. Anotlior fact will have a tendoncy to eause tho Iude- peudonts to act with thelr original party, the Tepublican, natmoly: that tho Confoderata eles ment of the Demacracy will horeattor bo tho ruling clement in that party, Thia olemont will carry the South eolidly in 1876, with tho possible oxcoptions of Soath Caroliua and Miseissippl, and 8o will, aa of old, rule tho policy of tha Democratic pstty in Cougress; aud, Lowever kindly tha North may fool towards the South, it {5 not yot propated to sco tho Coufcdorato elo- mout ritlo the gonoral policy of the country; #o, to provont this, it s ressounblo to sgsumo thal alt Ropublicans, of overy shade of opiuion, will voto solidly for thelr own party In 1870, It ia n mattor of groat rogrot that the Bonth bag sottlod down almost solidly for tho anclout Domocracy; for, consldoring tho conduct avd tonchiugs of that party for tio Jast flteon yost, tho peaple are nob willlug to truut it with the Goverumont, It tho Sontuern whites could sod that thoir solld support of tlie aucient, and we may truthfully esy the dangorous, Domocracy, in & source of great uucasiucss to tho peoplo 8l large, thoy would certainly divido thelr votes, sa tho votors of tue North do.
