Tliere were only eleven States Hi Rebellion and are only fourteen Southern States In all;how can they «Ntr»l the remaining twenty-four r f*ate»r» They will do It because! they are . fourteen solid Democratic State*, with icritri delegations In Congress, l»jr the •incus system. « There sre 76 members of the Senate. . J&f these 43 are Democrats--a majority. -%f this last number 28 are from the Southern States--a majority of 11 «f • S>emocratic Senators. r>\ In tlie House there are 293 members / W these, 147 ate Democrats, 16 are ^%atlonaIs, who vote with the Demo* #•*(*, and 130 are Republicans. From ; "iiie Southern States there are (took Counting Missouri) 86 Democrats, be- ... K$ng a majority of 25 over the Northern > f>emocrat8 in the lower House or; . counting the House and Senate to- • |fether, the 14 Southern States have a majority on joint ballot over tl»© Korthern Democrats of 39 votes. All the most important legislation Is shape <1 in committees; all party measures are dictated by the caucus.-- That is: Suppose the question was to retjre all the Greenbacks from circu­ lation (which the leaders of the Demo- eratic party advocate); it is a very Important measure, and it is very necessary that the Democrats vote f:sa unit on it, as it is a party measure. A meeting of *11 the Democratic members Is called--this is a caucus. They meet In a designated place. The 86 South­ ern mem be rs say the Greenbacks must be retired; the 61 Northern Demo­ crats object; a vote is taken, and It is decided by a vote of 86 to 61 that the measure mnst be adopted--if it is a joint caucus, it is adopted by a vote of 114 to 76. and all the Democrats will vote In Congress as the caucus dictates. When Congress convenes next day the question comes before the House.-- Jn the mean time tlie 130 Republicans hold a caucus and decide to oppose the measure, but they are largely in the minority. The vote is taken in open session, and it Is carried by 147 ayes asss! 130 noes. The National vote we leave out of the count. The Southern members demand that . the South be paid for Its emauoipated slaves--the same machinery takes hold and passes the bill. The South demands the pensioning of rebel soldier?, the caucus vote does It. The rebel cotton claims come op, the result is the same, and millions of money is voted away. Will they? Get down your histories and see when they have done it. The power of the caucus in either partv is all- sufficient to make men vote as the can- ens dictates. The man who refuses loses all political standing and all political influence." He dare not do it. When Missouri was admiited as a 8tate, the North demanded that It should be a free State, The South de murred, and put its balance of power at work, and Missouri became a slave State. Arnold, in his history of "Lin­ coln and Slavery" says: e,Iff Missouri had been tntrortneed as a free State it vrouM have been decisive of the con- trorersy, i»n<l might have saved the Republic from * iuDgaml bitter civil war." Missouri was made a slave State by the aid of Northern Democrats in Con gress; and then the South said that slavery should never be carried north and west of Missouri. This was the Missouii Compromise. Then when Kansas and Nebraska were to be organized as territories in 1863, the Missouri Compromise stood In the way of the South and of slavery They demanded its repeal and it was repealed after a fierce struggle, and slavery was again triumphant. The reading of tlie history Of this transac­ tion arouses every nerve. The repeal was accomplished by the South and its Northern Democratic allies. Again, the fugitive slave law was fastened on us by the South, by' which every man In the free States could called upon to arrest black men and women and retpro them to their mas­ ters. This waft repealed in 1864 when the South was in RebeUion for slavery. {Flie whole history of this country »hi»ws that Northern Democrats In Congress have always yielded to tlie dems nds of the South on every question andtbey cannot stand against rebel claftnit nor rebel pensions should Han­ cock'fie elected--and Hancock will not veto tihe bills.--Ex.
