Br WILLI A!TI H. BERNARD). WILMINGTON, N C: Thursdat Morning, MajT IV, 1877. KEY'S ltE.TI ARKAULE LETTEH, The letter written by Judge Key, the Postmaster General, to his bro ther, is a most extraordinary per formance. He should at once issue a work from the press to be entitled "The Model Political Letter Writer." Secretary Thompson should not be allowed to remain the solitary au thor in the Cabinet. Mr. Key's let ter is receiving a good deal of atten tion at the hands of editors, as was to have been expected. How far it reflects the purposes and views of the President we cannot determine. There are some things in the letter that it were better if never written; notably, the portion that contains a very improper and, we must think, unfortunate threat. We regret that the President's Southern policy has not met with more general approval than it has, and that the people of every section and party are not as thoroughly satisfied with it as are the people of Louisiana and South Caro lina. We regret that he is opposed in his conciliatory course by the extre mists of any section ; that, as Judge Key says, he "has arrayed against him Blaine, Wade, Wendell Phillips, the carpet-baggers and other bloody shirt Republicans." But we cannot agree to the persuasions of the Post master General that it is the duty of the Democrats in Congress not to elect Mr. Randall as Speaker, but to elect a Republican, for such we take to be Mr. Key's meaning. There is no good reason why every Democrat in Congress should not sustain the President's Southern pol icy, as Mr. Key desires, and thereby give no countenance to Blaine and other extremists in their war upon Mr. Hayes for what he has done in me interests ot good government and for the protection of the South ern people. I hey are compelled to such a course unless they are opposed to his just and humane policy. But to do that does not require the aban doning of Democratic principles and organization, or the entering into fel lowship and identification with the Republican party. The South will not make any such concession, or be. party to any such sacrifice. The thoughtful, conserva tive, peace-loving portions of the South will stand by the President in what he has done in South Carolina and Louisiana. They will uphold his hands in the faithful execution of the laws, in the maintenance of peace, in the carrying out of genuine civil service reform, in all efforts to re trench, and economize, and to elevate and purify the government. This much, we believe, he can safely count on. But they will not agree for one moment to surrendering or abandon ing their own organizatien. They act from principle. They know how wide the golf that separates the Democratic and Republican parties id their past history and policy their tenets and principles. I The President and his friends wholly misunderstand the temper and purposes of the Southern people if thev suppose that the Democrats have the slightest intention of either abandoning, their organization, or their purpose to contest vigorously and pertinaciously for the Presidency in 1880. The people of the South have good reason to thank Mr. Hayes for the treatment they have received 1 since his elevation to the high office he holds, and they would be guilty I of gross ingratitude if they were to j turn against him when pressed by unscrupulous and bitter enemies in his own party, and allow him to be destroyed because of his Southern policy which has already brought so much peace and satisfaction to the country, and especially to two South- j ern States. They will not do this, nor will thev enter into an alliance, it. h the UUCUPITL "U vw x, j ...... I Hayes wing of the Republican party. Judge Key's threat, to which we alluded in the beginning, is contained in these words : "If they oppose the Ad m inistrat ion , elect a Northern Democrat, such as Randall or Say -ler, to the Speakership, and ally to fight the Administration, he will be compelled to use his official patronage in such a way as to give him strength in his own party; whereas, otrmlt SniitJiprn Tlpmnnrnts miRplv P.xtmid him a support, he will be able to deal his natronaee to them liberally and revolution ize the system of Federal patronage which has existed in the South since the war. Southern Democrats now have the power to redeem the South, if they see proper lo use it. The President is firm and determined in bis Southern policy, if the South will give him the support necessary to carry it out." In this language, Judge Key says in effect, that if the Democrats-do not form a coalition with the Republican party do not abandon their life-long I principles do not by some magical art, some political hocus-pocus, trans form themselves into Republicans do not slough their old Democratic skins and come out shining and radi ant in the lovely and unspotted (?) cuticle of Republicanism then what? Whv, that the President will change his policy to suit the demands of Sonthern enemies, and bestow his dsd and patronage upon the fanatical, fierce, unprincipled incendiaries-the r r . i -r-k . . -rv - I ciaines, tne butlers, tne wades, tbe Wendell i'hillipses, and others of the same kidnev. ino.lurlino- thR narnet- baggers. And all this ia to be done tbaTthe President may fuse into one mighty mass the discordant elements, and make himself a party. We do not believe tTudge Key epeaks by authority. We think that in all this he but betrays his own ignorance of true statesmanship and of political sagacity. It is really very ridiculous, viewed from any stand-point. The Postmaster Gene ral expects a political milienium ; and by the wonderful power of pa- . 1 . . . . ill tronage to cause a wnoie party to sen i out. bap- and bajro-aoe. and startino-1 i --o - do-o-j o i .1 : - ; 1 - J i xur tuuauiptosragragiau- ness, "Anu now we are going nome at loot- " nrtiinh oroo tka rafraiiliiniT at last :" which was the refreshing song that delighted some of our na tives in the years immediately suc ceeding the war. If the Democrats will ground arms, roll up the old flag, tear down their platform, wipe out all traces of prin- ciples, and accept office as a reward for so doing, it will be all very well ; but if not, then Mr. Hayes will give up his peace policy, return to tbe old bull-dozing and dragonading days, and abandon the South to its fate. Can the President mean this ? We are unwilling to be lieve it. It is Mr. Key's own twad dle. Mr. Key's plan is reform with a vengeance, lie talks about . tbe PrMideDt being willing to patronage to the Southern Demo crats liberally, and revolutionize the system of federal patronage which has existed in the South since the war." ourely, Mr. Jley has a poor opinion of the Southern people. Does lit. reany oeueve mat, omce can Duy up the people of the South, and bind them captive to the Republican cha- riot wheels? Does he really think forAmnmAntt.WiUknnnf " - official patronage throuo-hont. t.h o South can cause our true people to .uuuu iucm puuwuai principles and, in iau, we will nave repeated, if law seriously or promise to become a dan whioh thev hav p.hnriahod alarona if iu,j .i, l i nhi gerous precedent. The reason is obvious. j - "'"-J"i t-tt? . luuYBuiem as be promises? I he very idea is in- suiting. The proposition is a dis- grace to tne Administration if itema- nates from it. It is fairly feculent with corruption, and smells of .the dirtiest pot-houses where rascalitv is rampant. oureiy, Mr. Hey did not wei his own words did not see how utterly uiagrag iney are to tbe President, if he has any right to speak for him. It is simply a shameful proposition to barter the offices of tbe govern- ment with the opposition. Itisequiv- alent to saying that the patronage of the President is up to the highest bidder. Mr. Hayes, if we are not very much mistaken, will repudiate that letter. Whatever may come, the iniquities of Grant can never be repeated. The policy adopted by Mr. Hayes has already begun to bring forth its legitimate fruit. Peace and content prevail in the South, and any subse- quent failure of the President cannot saddle any responsibility upon our people. The South can never be held responsible for the fanaticism, tolly, and wickedness of Blaine and his incendiary Bet. . The South will stand by the Presi- dent's Southern policy as developed, but it will not sell out for offioe, nor abandon the cou test for the Presi- dency at the next election. The New York Herald is nothing if not sensational. It has discovered an old fashioned "mare's nest" in North Carolina, and Droclaims to the j 1 I world that there is a split in the Democratic party here, and there must be new combinations. We think we can speak for the Cape Fear section. As far as we know or can hear there is not one Democrat who is in favor of disintegrating his party, making new combinations, or selling out to the President or the Ile- publicans We do not believe there are twenty men in the State of in telligence who would favor any such project, and those who would pro bably are either disappointed poli ticians or overweeningly ambitious, and who would take office under Grant to-morrow if he were still the fMan on horseback." The Herald can find uone of its recalci- trants in this section. The Stak is the friend of good go vernment, honest government, just government. It is the friend of the Southern people, and of South Caro lina and Louisiana. It has sustained the President in his kindly course to wards those States. It has advoca- ted at the 8ame time tbe preserva- tiou of the organization of the Demo- cralic Vy.

Carry on the good work, Mr. Secretrry. This is the era of re form and of promises. We are slightly sceptical about that "chill" Grant had at Philadelphia. The Inquirer had him wrapped in blankets and taking quinine, whilst hi8 former faithful organ, the North American, had him at the same hour in the Transcontinental Hotel, smoking his everlasting oigar, atten tively gazed at by a large crowd of the Curious, and evidently satisfied with himself.

The upholding of the Constitution does not please extremists anywhere Hayes is having a hard time of it "Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just." The Savannah Nevis says! "But if Maj.
