it is a simple question whether the public welfare will be wore promoted by general haaesty and intelligence than by the reverse. Publra opinion in this country does jsot, at this us o meat, divide upon party policy so much as upon party character I'dop'e ask themselves whether Democrat' ic ascendency is so sure a guarantee of peace and prosperity as Republican; and they answer the question, uot by comparing certain politcal theories, but by looking at the facts. And the importance of one fact can not be overestimated. There is a very general

and a very 60und conviction that in this country, of &o great extent and of bo various population, where the people directly

govern, there is na real or permanent security except in general intelligence, and

It is believed that 800 persons perished in the Green Hay region, and tho victims in Michigan will swell the total number of the lost to nearly a thousand.

Many are far away from towns or railroads, aud they cannot be promptly reached and relieved, like the sufferers by the Chicago calamity.

what it calls our malicious perversions of

fact in regard to the Democratia party, which, it declares, for sixty years before

the rebellion almost constantly controlled the government, made the great territorial acquisitions, fought tho foreign wars and paid the consequent debts, and by wise legislation encouraged the growth of material prosperity. Without stopping to remind the Argus that the Democratic party, as wc know it, properly began with

A Kovolution in the Reign o:

Ihere is a reign of terror in the region

of Spartanburg, S, C. The Democrat! mind will instinctively repel this &3 a repe

tition of the current Radical false accusation of the conservative people of the south who

are simply organized to protect the peace

or society, and to suppress incendiary sen

timeat3. lint this is a mistake. What

we are talkiBg about is a genuine reign of

terror; lor tae Democrats are terrified, and

thority. The tables are turned; the Ku-

and tbe baser sort are giving themselves

up to the United States- authority. This

revolution of the long reign of terror ia so striking a change that we prefer to give

the report of it from Democratic authori

ty, as it is sent by a Spartanburg corres

pondent of the Naw York World, as follows: ' Spartanburg S. C, Oct. 23. The President's proclamation of martial law has caused a reign of terror in this section of the country. Not in the dark.

est days of the rebellion, when the cradle and grave were robbed to fill the ranks of

the army, when the country was loud with the wail cf the widow aud orphan, was such distress and suffering known. No military edict has ever caused such heartrending suffering as this proclamation from the Executive of a free republic. Neighborhoods are depopulated, farms are

asserted, tamuies scattered to the four winds cf heaven, so great is the terror This might seem to imply guilt in every one, but not so; our population is a moral one, especially near the mountains. They have an exaggerated notion of it; hence they flee the country, not from a consciousness of guilt but from apprehension of some imaginary danger. To tho stranger this might seem without a cause.

Eeply to Ir. Kerr. Editor American, Ia your issue of the 20th of October I see an article from Mahloa B. Kerr in reply to one from me, which uncovers his deceptions cicb spirit. When his efforts in Lawrenceburg failed, and he did not get to hang Mc, he next followed the case to Brookville, and after swearing a3 he did he then failed in his efforts to bang Mcj and now that Mc is granted a rehearing, this same poisontongucd adder seeks to bite him again, and

all the time denying any intention to injure Mo. The cowardly puppy denies being in the mob and dtuies being one of

the 2b0 who swore there was no excitement in Dearborn County to prevent Mc

from having a lair trial. Knowing .Mr

Ketr, I am not disappointed in him. He

now makes an attack ou Mr. Burgoyne

and myself, and charges me with employ

iog Mr. Bureoyne to falsify the truth in

the case of my brother. No one but a

coward and a knave would make such a

charge upon a gentleman whose aim, in the goodness of his heart, no doubt, is to

do what he may think is right, as his ar

ticles are the advocate of mercy and the enforcement of the laws. But for this, Mr. Kerr in some of his articles threatens

Mr. Burgoyne, and in others charges him with being hired by me to do injustice to Mr. Harrison and his family. This emanates from a corrupt heart, with a full purpose of falsifying Mr. Burgoyne. I never

saw nor heard of Mr. Burgoyne until I saw his articles in print. L then set it

down that be was a man of truth and mer

cy, and whilst he felt to sympathiaa with

JUr. Harrison s family and friends he wauted Mc to be dealt with according to

law, and not mobbed.

Mr. Kerr charges that Mr. Burs-oync is

employed by me to rromuicate false ver

sions of my brother. That statement ia

false and is onlv an index of what he has j

already sworn to. I never employed Mr.

Burgoyne for a jy purpose whatever, nor

had any one else to do it, nor never paid

or promised to pay him anything. I never knew him, but would be glad to make the acquaintance of a gentleman with so generous a heart and so noble a manhood

He can be depended upon, as a law abiding man, and I will guarantee he hover is caught in a lawless mob and then found scribbling false articles for newspaper notoriety, to oppress the poor unfortunate man who has, from circumstances unknown to the public, done wrong, and is defenseless by being locked up in prison. But this mob spirit has been pursued towards every ou3 who has dared to speak in Mc's favor, or who dired to tell the facts as they occurred Dotween Mc, Mr. Harrison and the Clems. This samo Kerr was one who belonged to the mob that threatened to hang my brother Lazarus Cheek for say ing there were some letters

that implicated Mr. Harrison with nino

up that old threatened mob who were go ing to wait, and if the law did sot bang him tJug would.. That was the language of a letter to tbe Sheriff at Madison. Don't know whether Mr. Kerr wrote it or not. If Mr. Kerr will write the truth hereafter I will make no further reply. Strawdeu CUK.

Another Rejoinder. Edilor American, I see ia yourissua of 20:h October a self-styled continuation of Mr. Kerr's reply to Mr. Burgoyne. Mr. K. says Mo 'took one of the Clems to hii

house and told Lis wife she must board

him, and afterwards absented himself from

home on a spree, as he was in the habit of

doing.' Mr. K. makes that statement ig

norant of the facts, and further says:

have it on the authority of Mr. Kyle that

Strawder Cheek said to him that he be

lieved Mc only took Clem there to board

in order to frame a charge against the

chastity of his wife, to carry out his devilish design of obtaining a divorce. Thi3 statement 1 never made to Mr. Kyle nor any one else, as I had no idea of any such thing. This Mr. Kerr only adds in to try to make some one look as ridiculous as himself. He 6ays that Mc left his wife in Aurora unprovided for nearly a month and ha only three miles frooi home harvesting. This statement is wholly false to my knowledge, as He's wife only lived one-sixth of

a mile from my house. It is true Mc was

harvesting for nearly a month .and fre

quently returned home during that time, and always sober. One time he returned

home and found his wife iu a bouse which

Dillard Clem had rented in place of old

man Ciemf which old maa Clem Mr. Kerr

knows had not been in the County for two

year?. Mr. Iverr also knew old man Clem and his wife from report had parted.

So he did, and charged them with it, and took it out of He's wife's money he then had in his bands, giveu her by her grandfather. I challenge the friends to enow that Mr. Harrison ever gave Mc and his wife to the amount of fifty dollars. 135 this W3 don't claim was any justi fioation cf Mc's act.

Any man who would not getfran. tically drunk with madness over such treatment would have no sense of honor. He says Mc destroyed her dres3. We suppose that to bo true to some considerable extent. Mc, iu his frantic drunken fit, as Mr. K. says he was, saw his wife haveon a dress that Mr. Clem had gotten her, which further infuriated his drunken mind, and he cut her dress. Mr. Harrison was not much of a poace-maker when he fold Dillard Ciem to shoot Mc if Mc came about,and he (Harrison) would back

Mr. Ksrrsays it is well -known that no man condemns a mob more than he does. Well, the evidence h that he was in the mob from first to last, aiding and abetting, and loud in bis denunciations and threats' to hang Mc and myself and brother Laa if they couldn't find Mc in a given time' and we ref used to tell where he was, when

we uia not know. Ihis is part of tha ev

idence of Mr. Kerr's discouraging mobs

Mr. Kerr says. it is also well known that

no man has uoae and said more that was calculated to foster mobocracy than Strawder Cheek hasou many occasions." Well,

vir. terr s mob friends will not endorse this falsehood for him. A coward is al

that which my brother is now involved ia. Mr. Kerr fails to point out any one of those troubles I ever tried to encourage. If Mr. Kerr will point out any trouble

that l ever trid to get any man into simi

misrepresentation of Mr. Mobocrat Kerr. Tbe best evidence concerning Mr. Kerr and myself as to which has eucouraged mobs is, Mr. Kerr was in the mob to hang Mc and I on the opposite defending him and asking for the enforcement of the law. And that is the way we eland to

day. Kerr in his articles demands that Mo must be hanged without any condition?; I say, give him a fair trial and I

submit But Mr. Kerr is writing such

artictes as he fancies will brioc Mo to tbe
