The Charlotte Democrat

The National Election.

"Mississippi has risen in the political despair and hurled from her throat the obscene crew of ruffians and thieves who for years had grown rich and powerful on her misery. As in Alabama, the negro vote has been detached from the Republican party or divided, while the carpet baggers have been abandoned to their fate by the President. This involves the redemption of Louisiana and insures the whole vote of the South in 1876 for the Democratic nominees, with the exception, probably, of South Carolina."

The above extract is taken from an editorial article in the New York World of a recent date, reviewing the results of the November elections. The North expects every Southern State to be in the hands of the Democracy next year with one exception—South Carolina. And the South will not disappoint the North in this expectation.

And the World might have gone further and said that while the South may have its preferences among the many distinguished Northern gentlemen who are mentioned as the probable candidates of the Democratic party for President and Vice-President, it stands ready to endorse any of them who are most acceptable to the party at the North, save and except that there be no compromise of principle in their selection. Bayard, Hendricks, Thurman, Tilden, Parker, Buckalew, English, Curtin, "hard or soft money," any man of character, of political integrity, and opposed to Radical corruptions and usurpations, will receive the almost entire number of Southern electoral votes. We cannot promise South Carolina, but Florida and Louisiana can and will be redeemed.

At the next Presidential election it will take one hundred and eighty-four electoral votes to put a Democrat in the White House. Of these one hundred and twenty-eight at least will be furnished by the Southern States. In return for all this the South only demands a candidate who is opposed to the crimes of the Republican party, its corrupt conspiracy against all good government at the South; the profligate expenditures of the people's money; its open and notorious jobbery in Congress; its corruption in the civil service; its enormous, unnecessary and ill-adjusted taxation, its extravagance, theft and wastefulness in the administration of the government; and its open and notorious disregard of all requirements of the Federal Constitution.

Let the Democrats of the North be sure that they make well-advised nominations for home support, and all will be well.
