Hampton's mind when he dollyered his speech in Staunton, but wo do know whut his languuge meant, He declared that the Democratic party, under Hanceck's lead, was tighting for the sume principles that Lee and Jackson fought for, and for which the Southern suldlers dled. 'Thure was no quall- fication In the terms used. ‘The editor of this Journal also adds that hiy report of the speech will be sustained, if necessary, by aNidayits made by men whose veracity Is un- {mpeachable, Still stronger evidence of the correctness of the original report isto be found in a separate report of the same speech by the Staunton Vindicater, @ Democratic weekly, Which contalns the following version. of Hampton's closing sentences Pause before you cast your yote. ‘Toink bow lee would bave voted. ‘Think what Jnokson Would Huye devo befere bo would buve cast a yoto enteulat to divide his beloved Virginine Task youto remombor those who have tied on your soll, and to remember that the préne(ptes they dled for dre_againon tral to Ceny nothing of sour aiforences, F know thore aro fiunest moh, brave men.

Moreover, they are the sentiments which are taught in the echool- books used at the South, in order to keep allve in the breaata of the new generation the embers of bitterness engendered by the War Tho foregoing statement ts not made with- ont warrant, A few extracts from a text> bouk of United States Illstory, which has been prepared for tho Southern schools, and is widely used throughout the South, will amply sustain It, The book we refer to Is entitled a “New School Iistery of the United States of America”; the authors are J, 8. Blackburn, of Virginia, and W, N. MeDonald, of Kentucky, both engaged in eduentional institutions, The book Is pub- Ushed by W. J.C, Dulany & Co., Baltimore, and [gs now in {ls eleventh edition, Clreulars are printed by the publishers which contain Incorsements from terchers and Public Su- perintendents of Schools througtout tha South, who spprove particiuiarly of the Southern color ant tone given to the text. Weextract just enough from this text-book to reveal the spirit which controls It, Speaking of John C, Calhoun. it says: “Ilo wns tho great: representative of the South; and {twas the chief alm of lis political life to strengthen the power of the South in the Governinent, go thet she might be enabled to resist the encrottehments of the North upon her rights.” The youth of the South is thus taught at the outset to cherish the doctrine of Nullification as a traditional and sacred rightof the South, Concerning the political struggle of 1860 which preceded secession, it says: “ At the Presidential clevtlon in the fall of 1860, Abra- ham Lincoln, @ sectional candidate, was elected.” Furthor on the Secessionists aro described, while leaving the halls of Con- Rress, as having “hurled defiance at thelr political enemies, who had driven them to tla last resort of honor. In every possi- ble way tho responsibility for tho War 1s thrown upon the people of the North. ina description of tho invasion of Vir- ginia, Col. Ellsworth, the Zounve commant- er, is characterized as “a famous rough and elreus-ridur of Chivago.* ‘The Union ariny ts constantly referred to as ‘tthe army of conauest.” Among the cnuses cited for tho failure of the Confederate enuse, the following Is given the first place: “Lhe primary canse of the failure of the Confederacy was that the pea- ple of the South were not wanantnous in thelr efforta to gain thelr Uberty.” This ts aaluratthe native Unionlsta, of the South who are commonly called “scalawags." ‘Then it ts added immediately, and with polnted significance: “In the history of the world, aaauted people, struggling for hers ty, have never been subjugated.” ‘Che Italy ics appear in the book, ‘These extracts suflice to {lustrate the enso in hand. When sentiments such ag these are Incorporated In the text-books prepared for the Southern schools, and when 2 special ef- fort [s made to shape the minds of Southern youths in tho samo mold as thatof their fathers and grandfathers, it Is cortalnty not Improbable that Wado Hampton should have delivered the utternnecs accredited to hin at Staunton, If tho spirit of tha Southern peo- plo demands that thelr school hfistorles shall tench the sacredness of the War against the Government in “a struggle for Hberty,” it fs very natural for the public speakers to ine voke the memorics of that struggle, and to promise a realfention of its purposes in the future, when mnaking an effort to maintain the partisan solidification of the South, —— THE ALABAMA FRAUDS, Tho Republlean State Committee of Aln- bama has done tlinely service in putting upon officlat record the story of the lifumous frauds committed during the recent election in that State in tho shnpo of an address to tha country, Its a terrlble arraignment of the Bourbon Democracy, showing that there is no safeguard for tho batlots east by the Ropubllean party in Alabang, and that there is not even personal safety for the leaders of tho party In conducting an vlection eampalgn, It fs an exposition of high-handed outrages and unblushingly open frands which should trousd an dudignant protest all over tho North, and a dumand that tho rights of citi- zens in the South who are not Democrats shall bu respected, ‘Tho address of the Committee is not con- fined to generalities, but goes Inte the de- tails of tho frauds committed at the Inst elcotlon, A brief abstract of some of them shoul’ prove Interesting and instructive reading, At McCieheo's Switeh, tn Mont- gomery County, the Republicans potted 673 votes by nclunl count, recelving thelr votes from one mann and polling them so that he could avo them,—a precaution that was taken. because thoy expected tobe cheated, After the polls were closed, the Republican In- spector was ojected, A mililis company from Montgomery drove away the Hepublic- ans who were waiting outside to hear the returns, ‘The inspectors, having the fleld to themselves, then procueded to the count, and made a return glving the Republicans 133 votes anid the Demucrats 5101 At Kendatl’s Bent, In the same county, S44 Republican votes were deposited under similar elroum- stances, A Republtenn majority of 475 was reduced tu 40, and even this Jiltle majority waa thrown out by the Buard of Supervisors, At Rabluson's 680 Republican votes wore castand 50 Democratle, At this poll thore was & quarrel belween two colored men, whoreupon tho Democratic — inspectors cluimed that it Inyalldated tho election, car- ried off the ballot-box, and po return at all has been made slice, ‘The same thing oe curred at Porter's Beat, where the vote was 400 Ropublicun to 50 Democratic, ‘The farce that was ployed at Old Elam ts thus de serlbeils At Old Elam tho list of yotos ahowed that 413 Republican votes hud beon polled to sixteun Democratic. ‘Tho count proceeded at this place ‘until 200 Republican votes wad Hye Domvcratio yotes bad been counted out.

Tow anan, tlmes must tho story be told before the North will solld- {fy Mtself, its voters, Its influence, and its wealth, and putan Administration into power strong enough to enforce the Inws and guar- antee the riglits of every citizen in the South? There Is but one way to overcome the Solid South, and that Is by the wuted vigorous action of a Solld North from now until November, A ——— SHALL THE SOUTHERN “S0LIDITY” COR- TINUE? Tho recent break-up of the Democratic Convention In Georgin, and the nomination of opposing candidates by the discordant factlon, is ominous of the certain dissolution of tho “Solid South” whlch will follow Garfeld’s election. At present no Republican party organization is tolerated at the South. Such organization may nominally exist ina few States, os In Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Loulslana, and: Tennessee, but practienlly they are extinguished, A refusal to count the votes polled by Republleans is ag effectual disfranchisement as is the refusal to allow Republisans to yote, and In these Southern States both motes of exclusion aro employed, just as the clreumstaneces may suggest. A consequence Js, that whey tho whole peoplo of tho Stato are forelbly compelled to voto with one party, dissension, conilict of opposing ambitions, and selfishness must eventunlly divide that party, Gov, Georgla four years, He sought a renomina- tion, As the nomination was equivatent to anclection, it was required that tno success- ful candidate must have the votes of two- thirds of tho delegates, Colquitt, though he hada majority, falled to get two-thirds, aud, as neither side would give way, the Conven- tlon adjourned without nominating anybody for Governor. ‘Iho majority thereupon, by a resolution, recommended that the Demoreats vole for Colquitt, while the minority reeom- menied that they vote for ex-Senator Nor- wood, Bath of theso are now candidates befere the people, Hoth are supported by extremo partisans, and each dectnres that the election of « Republican is proferably to tho election of tho other Democrat, Thus the dishitegration of the parly in the South fs begun. Its delay has been the result of tho strong assurances given by tha Northern Democrats thats Solld South would end tn tho election of a Demoeratic President, and the general transfer of all branches of the General Government to the Democratic party, In which event the same Solid South would be the goverting and controlling power, Itis this hope for the expulsion of tho Republican party from power that has kept the unanimous Democratic party at the South from going to pleces, So long as tho Republicans romain in control of tho Gon- eral Government, the culored rrea have some show of recognition; thoy have to somo extent tho protection of the Courts; they have the protection to Ifo, property, and Hberty which Is furnished by the presence of Natfonal officers to oxcoute the aws; they havetho protection of Jury trinis and ofthe right of appeal; thelr right to vote and. thoir citizenship have at least the recognition ofthe Federnst Government, and such sup. port as tha laws may authorize, If tho Na- tonal Government enn be transferred to the Democratio party, the colored population in the Southern States will be deprived of every formof legal and Executive protection, and be ua defonseless ns thoy wore when thoy Were property sold at tho nuctlon buck to the highest bidder, With the negro popula- ton practically exoluded from polltics, then the power of the whites at the South in the Government would bo restored to even Kreator proportions ‘than it was before the War; tho whites would do all tha voting and elect all the Representatives to which Joth whites and colored woukl be entitled, “It Is the hope of such a result ag this to follow Hancock's election that has kupt tha Solld South from falllpg ta ploces because of Its own unnatural solidity, ‘Tho ctection of Uarfleld, and the certainty that tho Natlonal Government will bo administered for four years to come as it has been during the four years now expiring, will instantly result in tho general disintegration of the Domocratic party In the Southern States, and to the for- mation of naw partios, .

Once relloved of the thraldom of ‘solld- ity,” which rollef will follow tho defeat of Nancock, there will be Norwoods In avery Southorn Stato prompt to renounce tho Iron rulo of the Democratic party, and to form new partics founded upon progress, hus mantty, Justice, and Nationality, The Atlanta Conatitutionaliat (9 Colquitt organ) thus polnts out tho probable conse quence of the break In the party: If hie (Norwood's) enndfeacy results tna divias fon of the Dentoerney aerints enough to wire rant his success, n Republican victory becomes not only posalble but probable, He gannot ne= complish anything moro than 4 division of the Demoeratio party; but avon this would bo tha sigan! for the reorgunization and consolidation of the Republican purty.
