MY DEAR SIR The .uuthorn
llome of the 5th instant, coltainiing
your editorial on the policy.to ibe
pursued by -the Southern Statoe in
reforence to -tho next national Demo
cratic c onvention, reached mu a day
or two ago,. and, aloug with it, the
letter in which you wore kind enough
to ask lily opillion Oil this question.
Though I. calnn 1tfbatter n sull' that
inly opinions .- may onterttin canl
huve the wpight. your partiality would
induce you tQ attaqh.jo thaw, I most
cheerfully . copiply witit. tho requoat
contained in yoqij letter :. becoauso it,
is oly by qqu tatiou tiand dicis-.
bion among ouistlves that we can
hope to act judiciously and harmuoni
ously.
It would, perhaps, be suffluient to
say -that I concur fully in the views
yO4 have expresod,- as to the impro-.
priety of the South taking iny part
in the tippronclaing conventiti ; but
in doferenco to your wishes, I give,
briefly, the renasos which have in
duced this conviction in my mind.
1. The Southern delegates in a na
tional convention could exerciso no
influence in shaping. the policy, mak
ing up 'the isues or selecting the
candidates for tho next contest, with
out serioutly iiijulilig the propect
of a Dlmociatie triuiph. That thi.
vould inovitably . bo tho case, is
proven by the result of tho last
bomocratio convention, where th
very preso'nio of Southerners was us-l
to prejudice'othe notion and to defeat
the candidates of our party.

Our information from Georgia, Al

probably frighteniiing us from our

the motive thit prompts so false ab
-aceAsation we rejioc to know that
the couteuptibfi efforts of the Union
and its. unotymout correspondent
"X" will be surely bufft.d.
The case of Nancy Coleman, cited
by "X," is st-ill fresh in the minds of
our redders.
Those acquainted with the facts and
circumstances of the affair, both
white and colored, believed that the
mairder and burning was committed
b) nagroes, on account of sote prih
vato feud. 1 evertheloss it better
serves the purpo*es of Iiudicalism to
pervert the truth and throw the
odium of the lawless act upon so-call
ed Ku Kluxt
in this same letter, we fAir also the
following piece of iiform1ation
"The Ku Klux certninly exista in
this County, as an organized band,"
We pronounce this statement utterly
falso and without foundation. No
0110 ca trih(/Al#/y cite' a single in
stance of violence or lawlessness comn'
mitted by even supposed ku Klux,
If the Union correspondent can prove
what he to boldly usserts, why does
ho not take steps for the arrest of
thtose ho accuses of lavrlessnesa ?
Pqt 're believo that we have said
inough to show up "X'' in his true
Aairaicter. At the close of his letter
of the 20th, he says "I am responsi
ble for thle letter of the 15th instant."
The idea of responsibility attach.
inig to an anonymnous commnunication
is simply absurd.
Upon the whole, we regard the at.
tack of the anon~ mous correspjondent
upon the characer of this paper at
cowvardly in. the ext reme. We are
aware that the free use of personali
ities is contrary to the true spirit of
Judrnlismi, but recourse to themi in
the present instance has been forced
upon us, andi upon this~ ground .only
we ask for the-,ind ulgence of our read
