When Gen, Wade Hampton, {n-the'retlrrcy of the Valley of Virginin,appeated to ‘the Irgluinis to vote solidly, ‘and to vote ‘for Tlnnedek just as Lee ditt Stonewall Jackson would vote If'they were live, ‘he overlouked the fact thet his speech might be reported, Subsequently, when ‘that speech ‘was ‘pub- lished, to ‘the consternation of the Northern Democracy, Hrnipton, with tho ‘superctl- Idusness peculiar tothe Soutliern ‘nabdb, ex- peeted ‘the edutniry ‘te ‘necopt Ils decluration that he Iitd never ‘spéken wlint was pub- Ished.

Dirring the lnstsessidn this gentleman wrote toa constituent who had inquired ‘of him ‘con- cerning some pension cases ‘that this -Con- gress (Démoerntic) wasn bad ‘one ‘for pen- stons'to Unilon solliers, init thiit “tho Rebel General at the hend of the Senaty'Conimittea on Penstons was -uverse ‘to passing -pension bills toald Untonsoldiérs,” "Tlits letter ought to have been considered honorible and ‘most creditable to Mr, Beltzhoover anong his con- stituents. It told the truth; fc told-that the Whole machinery of legislation was In the hands of the ‘Rebel Generals, and that ‘even Democrats from the North were not trented fulrly. But Afr, Belizhoover, ina moment of weaknegs, threw mviy tho ‘best ‘chance ‘he ever had to do hhnself and his prrty a great soul: Instead of frankly avowlng the fact that ho hnd written the ‘letter, and tn- stend ‘of asserting tha facets -stited therein to, bo “trie, ‘he basely — fal- tered In tho presence of the Southern masters of the Detnoeratic -pitty and de- clara ‘the letter to. be-n forgery and--its publfeation ‘n conspiracy. ‘Of course ‘the proof of tho ‘attthorship of -tho -Jetter has beenfurnished, nnd tha ‘coritempt ‘for -Mr. ‘Beltzhouvér 13 now universal; “lily own party denounce him for writing such a letter, and all parties denounce ‘tha wenkness and cow- ardico which have led “him-fito-n denial of the letter and into a declaration that it was forgery.

Cotton 1s no ‘longer king In this country, Tho prosperity | tit progress of the North asa section were never so little dependent upon the Bouth as ‘now, The markets of the world have been opened to the brendstuffs, ‘provisions, ‘and ‘miinitfuctures of thé North to an extent tat exceeds'the most extravagant predicttons. if commercial non-intercourse between the North and ‘South were practicable in tho strictest senso, the Northern people would ‘be not. merely self-sustainiug, but woukl ‘continue to contribute more berieficdiitly than ever to the people of other lands from its own rich surplus, The North, us a Whole, Is now in a position to say to tho people of tho South what a New England minitfacturer of ‘combs snid to them when hv was ‘threatened before the War with a total loss of Southern trade. “If the people of ‘tho South,” said he, “do hot want my combs, thoy may go lousy.” So Ifthe people of the South do not want to buy Northern meuts and brendstatls, they may go hungry, nnd if'they Insist upon ‘shutting off Northern manufactures, they may go naked. Nobody {nthe North Is to be seared by any threats of commercial non-Intereourse. ‘This monaco may atrike Northern Demo- crits, however, ns more directly addressed to them than to tholr pollti¢al opponents at ‘the North, Politléat prejudice at the South colors all relations In life to ‘such on ‘extent that {t may be reasonably ak sumed thnt, in commercial transactions with the North, preference ts given to ‘Denmioerats over Republicans. All other. things being equal, it {s safe to say that a Defivoctatte tnerchant ‘or manufadtiiver at thé North ean sell to a Southern customer ‘morecasily than canna Repnbitcan merchantor tnanufacturor, Any policy otcommireialnon- Antorcourse designed to bring the North to forms would strike the Northern Democrats a charder blow, therefore, than it would the Northom Republicans. {3 ‘this.’ reflection: calculated to make votes for the Southern candidate for President among the Northern Dusiness-men-who have been In the habit of voting the Demoerntic ticket? Tho Southern leaders who are accnatomed to use the Insh over tlie Northorn Democratic politicians may think #0, but they woftlly mtsjudge the vharaeter of Northern business-men, whether thoy be of the Democrati¢ dr the Republican persuasion In the abstract, in presuming that they will relish anyBueh terrorism, — The whole subject may be dismissed, 80 far ns ft tins any commereint bearing, with tho single suggestion that the mer- ehandising of the South, and to a large ex- tent tte banking and exchange business, aro {u the hands of the Istaclites, If anybody at the South Imagines that the Jewish mer- chants are to be Inilucieed by political con- siderations to make their purchases ata dis- advantage, that parson thas made buts poor study of tho commorelal instinct which gov- orns thé race of Israelites In bisiness. The Jews will continue to buy where they can buy cheapest, without any regard to sentl- niental consldorations of any character, So far ns tho threat of non-Intercourse has a po- 'tleal significance, it cones mnerely as a warn- ing to the people of tho North that the ir- recancllablo spirit which aulniates the South ;| cannot be further encouraged with’ Indul- genéo and new political power without risk-* Ing a repetition of the experiences that grew. ‘out of similar monnces prior to the War of the Rebellion, en GEN, HANCOORA DILEMA. ‘The Now York Demoerntic newspaper which has demanded froin Gen. Haticock an ‘uneantyocal declaration against the payment of Southern elatms has placed the Demo- cratle candidate for President In a pitiably awkward predicament, It{s said that Gen, Hancock has deckted not to make any deliv- eranco upon this subject; {tis certain, at all events, that ho has kept silent thus far and gfvon no sign of any purpose to speak, Mr. ‘Tilden felleved himself from eimbarrassinent and made friends at the North by boldly pro- elaiming hls purpose to yeto all measures Which: should proyide for the payment of ‘Rebel claims; but Tilden Was a man of iitens, and the Southern leadors wero not 80 nggressivo four years ngo ns they are to- day.

Hancock is tho ‘sort of man thoy ean contrpl. .‘Tiiden was “not, and ‘that was the princtpal reason for tho Southern opposition which praventedt his renomination.
