The Casalaff Felltloal Caateel. Notwltbeteadlngmany of the radical news* papers assure their political friends that the recent elections, with their results la California, Ohio and Pennsylvania, wore not much of a shower, the more consider ate are constrained to admit that they betoken no good to the future of the Republican party. Our attention was directed to this matter by a communication from a veteran politician In Southern In<1 Una’, which appeared in the Hew Albany t'ommerclai oi last Tuesday, and that paper Indorses It In stating that M tbe opinions of the writer are entitled to a respectful and carelnl consideration by the members of the party with which he has alwsys acted," meaning the opponents of the Democracy. " Veteran,” referring to the Democratic party, aays: "Under the Influence of their recent enccesses they will ontor upon the light with high spirit* and i?reat expectations. Shrewd calculation anil careful mauagement will exercised to avoid everything resembling a blunder. and to take advantage of everything like a mistake on me part of toe Republican party. I happen to know that special orderahave been hsticdfrom Democratic headquarters to their county and local managers to allow none but the most popular and least objectionable men to run for any oilice, however insignificant.” Wo do not know from whence this Sir Oracle obtained his Information In regard to the purp iscs of the Democracy, or from what "Democratic headquarters” tho "special orders" to whic h he refers have been Issued, but the sugg sit Ions are nono tho less valuable, even if t icy arc the coinage (f the writer's own brain, a i they doubtless arc. •• Y< tcran” still further unfolds what he alleges to bo the purpose* of the Democracy, lie s iy<, and wc quote what ho say*, to show tho Ideas which arc entertained by the thinking and calculating men in the Republican rank* In rogarii to tho poiukui luture: It Is already admitted that tho Democracy of Indiana Intend to nominate one of throe men Governor—cillier Voorhees, Holman or II •ndrlek*. Klthr r one of them Is, I am sorry to s iy, much ilia superior on the stump of any mm yet mentioned in connection with the nomination for Governor by tho Republican press It is doing neither (Jovornor Baker, nor Mr. rumb ick injustice to say that they li ne not yet shown themselves equal to the ta>k of di luting tho political Issues of the day with Tom. Hendricks, who will be forced to run for Governor If Democratic pressure can effect it. Than Hendricks there is not a more crafty, ready, sophistical and ingenious stump ipeakcr in the whole country. He is as artful and as .shrewd as ho is disingenuous and
unscrupulous.
•• Furthermore, he Is better posted than It is possible for Cumback or Baker to he, having been In tho Senate for years and constantly ami closely engaged in tho study and discussion of tho questions which must form the staple of our next canvass. I submit to It3pubtioans everywhere. If It Is wise, politic, or just to the loyalty of this nation for our party m Indiana to nominate against llondrkks any •Uher than our very best man. The canvass between tho candidates for Governor next year in this State will ho something like that between Lincoln and Douglas, If the Republican party Is wise enough to nominate a man who can handle Hendricks as Lincoln handled Douglas. Otherwise, I predict, and I doit conscientiously, that Hendricks will virtually drive our man from the field with all tho haughty assumption and impudent assurance of that princo of demagogues, Douglas. It will bo no boys play, mark me. Nicely

Da Kalb Coi nty.—The Democrat says: It Is with unbounded pleasure and gratification that we announce a glorious victory of tho Democracy of DeKalb county on Tuesday last, making a clean sweep of everything, electing our entire ticket by a majority ranging from one hundred and thirty-two to two hundred and twelve In tho county, a clear gain of three hundred, as follows: Joseph R. Lanntng, clerk, 197 nugorlty; Francis D. Ryan, treasurer, 212 majority; William McIntyre, commissioner, 100 majority; James W. MeCasslln, surveyor, 132 majority. For circuit judge, Andrew Ellison received 110 majority, and Thomas J. Smith, prosecuting attorney, 00 majority, over Hartman, the radical Representative of this county. The people got their eyes open, and the "sober second thought” recurred to them once more. Well done, good and faithful Democrats of DeKalb county. Montgomery County.—The oflUlal Democratic majority In this county la as follows: Wallace, for clerk, 31; Vance, for treasurer.

In 18CC, the Democratic vote was nearly as larve as the combined vote of both Democrats and Republicans nt the recent election, consequently none but a blockhead would suppose mat the Democratic majority could be the same as it was then. Suppose, Elder, the whole vote of Allen county, at the recent election. had 1>ccn 2,000, and that the Democrats had gotten a majority of S00, would that, because, forsooth, they had a majority of 2,OH8 In 1S0U Ait of a total vote of more than 7,000, make It a Republican gain of 1,200 this year?

rounded periods and rhetorical flourishes, delivered with sophhomorlc accuracy and dellt'«cy, will not suflloe. Neither will the empty declamation nor the stormy thunder gusts hD le which some of our candklstes affect, and which occasionally does wcM enough to 1 fill
in,’ answer tho purpose next fall.”
After thus unfolding wbnt he regards to be the purposes of the Democracy-in the approaching political campaign, the results of which will decide tho future of the country, ‘ Veteran" olTcr* some advice to bis own party, which tho Commercial, edited by a sliiewd politician, says Is entitled to careful
consideration l>y Republicans. We quote:
•• Without circumlocution allow me to give you the candid opinion ot a veteran In the cause of Republicanism, who asks no sort of consideration or reward for himself. It Is thl.-: Tho Republican party of Indiana should demand of Schuyler Colfax that he make the next canvass for Governor. We have a right to demand it. anil it Is his duty to accede. Ills great personal popularity, hls thorough knowli dimof political questions and tho history of I hem, his readiness as a speaker, hls popularity throughout the nation, which will enable linn to call to his aid the whole talent .and power of the party, point to him, in my humble opinion, as thk man for the plsee and oc-
casion.
With all duo deference to wiser heads I submit my suggestions most respectfully to the nmk and (lie, believing most solemnly that If it different spirit and rule doe* not govern our next state convention from that which has too niton controlled such bodies, signal and sure defeat awaits us.” The success of a military commander often depends upon hls knowledge of the strength and plans of tho enemy. The suggestion of “\ eteran" are therefore worthy of consideration. Ho foreshadows the power which Democracy can exert In the Important canvas* of next year If they use tho proper tactics and place only good and able men in tho liebl as representatives of the party. The mal-ad-mlnlstrallon—the utter Incapacity of tho Republican party to successfully administer the Government, should insure Its defeat and those considerations, as tho recent elections demonstrate, will. If the Democracy only takes a I vantage of the situation. The Democracy should carry no weights and they should put themselves in light marching order to win success. All personal considerations should yield to secure the triumph of sound princlpl.’*. Only good, popular and working men should bo selected as candidates for public position, no matter how humble It may be. If this spirit prevades tho party, with the strength that ihc situation of affairs gives us, an overwhelming triumph will crown the Deni icracy In the political contest of lStV<.
Before aim After the Elections. The Journal, inspired by His ex-Kxcellency Governor Morton, before the recent elections In Ohio and IVnnsylvanls, predicted that all manner of evil conscqurncca would flow from the defeat of the Republicans in those States. Just previous thereto that sagacious, honest and far seeing radical organ made the following predictions: "Already gold is going up and greenbacks are depreciating. This is tho work of the repudiating Democracy. Their defeat in the elections next Tuesday will add value to every dollar of currency in tho pockets of the people. Their success will be followed by increased dtitru>t in financial circles both at bom* and abroad, and by a heavy fall in the value of greenbacks.” Cause and effect, according to the Journal’s foreshadowing, did not follow. Gold did not go up and greenbacks would not go down to accomodate our radical neighbor. This fact rather cornered the radical organ nd it labored bard to discover some small orifice to creep out of its difficulty. In Its Issue of yesterday It thus crawls backward: "The reason why the succes* of the Democrats in Ohio had no effect on the money market Is, that the greenback tlo.lge was regarded as a mere electioneering trick, that nothing more was meant by it, and because the Democratic party In Pennsylvania, New York, and other Eastern stale* oppose It. The Democratic State Convention of New York received tbst the public debt is a sacred obligation and must be paid.” Now, these facts were all known to our veracious and high-toned moral neighbor, just ae well before the election as afterward; and If It bad any disposition to be honeet, It should have made the seme representation* previous to, as It did subsequent to, the ofeetioM. Tho success of the Democrats aroused no "distrust In the financial circle*/’ and there was no " heavy fall In the value of greenbacks.” The Deawereey have never taften any othef position than that the public debt le an obligation that must be paid, and paid according to the law which created M. If the pnMIe, as the Journal allogee, believed that the " greenback dodge wee n mere etcetieneerlaf trick/’ it duet not speak very well for I heir oonfldenne In the Integrity of the nOitut orator* twt newspapers, for all inslefed that It wae the purpeee ot the Demceratle party, In eme of •uceeee, to cancel the interest paying debt of the Untied Btetee with greeaheek* TMe charge wae refUrated upon every radical stump end In every radteal newspaper, but it appears.

Last year, on a full vote, Hungate’s majority over Carter was only 189! This year, on half a vote, Hoskins’ majority over Robertson Is 23-1. Jackson Cointy.—The following arc the Democratic majorities In Jackson county: Pattlson, 829; Robertson, 8.*>3; Applewhite, 955; Findley, 879; Wells, 882; George A. Robertson, 901; Cowling, Oil.

Political Itemo. —The New York Poet sees an admonitory finger In the Ohio election. It Is more than a finger, it Is a whole fist right between the eyes of radicalism. —The vile Hunnlcut says in his paper: “ In the event of a war of races, a boy or a girl ten years old, or an aged or infirm old man or woman of sixty or seventy years, can apply tho match or torctf as easily as a robust man of twenty-five.” —Ben. Wade’s agrarianism Is popular in Ohio. It has distributed hls political strength in such a remarkable fine manner that be will be able to read Mother Goose for the balance of his life, uninterrupted by the distracting cares of public office. The people have taken "a jump forward,” which leaves him a proper distance In tho rear, and there let him stay.— Boston Post. A Windmill Ji dgk.—It is said that Husband, tho Yankee of three months’ residence, who was appointed, by General Pope, judge of the Middle district of Florida, went to that State as tho Inventor of a windmill, and a vender of patent medicines. It Is thought that the windmill business recommended him particularly to the favor of our commanding general.—Jl/acon, Georgia, Telegraph. A Lie.—An item has been going tho rounds of the radical press to the effect that during the recent political canvass In Ohio, Hon. D. W. Yooru ns turned to a regimental flag and said contemptuously, "take that thing away.” The facts of the case, as we learn from Mr. Voorhees, are that on the occasion alluded to, the Beoimental flag was more than sixty feet from tho speakers’ stand. There was a flag upon the speakers’ stand that was constantly blown by the wind In hls face, and was a source of annoyance. Mr. Voorhees stopped during hls speech, and turning to a bystander said. In a low tone, "take that away.” The radical papers that published the slander may make the correction or swallow the lie, as they please. —The Cleveland Leader says the Democrats will have the best of the Union party In the next legislature ot Ohio, In the ability and experience of their representatives, ss well as their number. Since the Governor has no veto power the dominant majority may do ita will In legislation, even to the extent of reenacting the ludicrous law of the Democratic Legislature of 1857-8, that a "visible admixture of African blood” shall conatltute a disqualification from voting. What Organization Will Do.—The Democrats of Ohio have secured their great gains by the force of work through an effective organization. They organized the doubtful countlea with a view to carry the Legislature, and In scarcely one of those counties did that fall of success. Through their organization they got men out to hear the truth from the stump, and to the polls on election day. Their gain of 10,000 In the State la attributable to the complete manner In which they were organized for the campaign. The result should constitute a lesson for Democrats
every where—teaching them the importance of that vigilance whlchls the price of liberty.— Detroit Free Press. Radical Fears.—The Boston Post saya the radical leaden now In Washington, do not pretend to conceal their fear and trembling. At a meeting of the Southern loyalists and members of the Grand Army of the Republic lately, the question wae asked by Judge Pascall, of Texas—"What Is to be thensult of thle revulsion in public sentiment at the North!” A»member replied that then could be but one result, and that would be a remod ailing of the reconstruction acts by Congress. Those acta stood condemned by the Republican party, and avlsaa a change was speedily made the party would ho wiped out of existence. Several of the gentlemen present expressed themselves entirely opposed to any change, as wttbout negro suffrage the electoral vote of the Southern Slates would certainly b# cast for a conservative President, and that eoeaer than permit such a result they bad bettor fight It out on tho lino of policy already
adopted.
SruaiDTU Democratic Victory in CONNncnccr.—Connecticut, which stoned the Democratic ball so gallantly last April, still continue* to propel It onward. At her late town meetings the following was the result: Democratic towns.. .. .8» Radical towaa. Democratic majority..,....10 This Is tho first Urns In thirteen years that the Democrats have carried a majority of the town* la tht* Mate. W* have gained over twenty towns this fall.

Wtint we Pay fur Necessaries Because uf Tuxes. The question of taxation la very naturally exciting public attention. We are pressed to the earth by taxation and the working man begins to see that ruin le inevitable, unless there is relief. In thle cxlnroity be looks •round for help. Fortunately the means of relief are In bis own band. Let him .change hls rulers. No change can be for the wortr. Boa. S. S. Cox, la a recent speech, said: You are the victims of a cunning system of tax, which demands reform. Nothing like it existed so long in any land. Yon say "taxes are needful to pay the expense* of the Government.” This l grant; but I am not speaking of the taxes that go to the Government. 1 am speaking ot those which go Into the pockets of the rich. I will •hew you what taxes these ere. The word taxes ineludea custom house duties as well as internal revenue taxes. Now, observe this: that as things exist to-day, of every filOO paid by the people of this country in the stiape of taxes, not over $10 go to support the Govern-
ment.
Let me give yon an example. There war entered for consumption into this country during the year ending June 30,1805, according to the official report published by the director of the burean of statistics, 577,909,973 pounds of brown sugar. The average cost of all this sugar was. according to the sworn declaration* of tho importers, less than three cents a pound, cold—say, three cents, or altogether $17/110,299, gold. The cost of brown sugar to the workingman, even If he boaght it at the wholesale cargo price, throughout the year, was, on the average, about eleven cents per ponnd, gold. Ho that he actually p»IU a tax of eight cents a pound, gold, on all the sugar be consumed. In the aggregate this amounted la that year alone to the sum of $46,100,798, gold. Now, if you will look over the accounts of the receipts of the United States Government otyaxes on sugar, you will find that there was received but $17,6C6J120. extent of 140,100,798, gold. What become of the enormous difference, amounting, In this instance alone, to $28,654,178, gold f Need I answer? Need I tell yon that It went Into the pockets of rich capitalists? Need I tell you that It was part of the reward of treachery and cunning, of false patriotism, of -false politics, and chicanery and robbery? Need I tell you that It was one of the fruits of one of the thousands of devices which, under the guise of war measures, and " necessary measures,” are practiced upon you before your very eyes ? You will observe that I have been careful to obUIn the exact number of pounds consumed (that Is, paid duties and withdrawn from bond for consumption in the United States) the cost price in gold; the exact amount paid for duties and received by the Government, in gold; the wholesale market price at New York during the same period, also in gold, and the total sum paid by the people, in gold. Had I quoted the latter sum In currency, as 1 had a right to, for the people’s wage* were paid in currency, and at no higher rate than before this heavy tax was laid, and had I stated the actual, the retail price, about twenty-five cents, my illustration would have been stronger. Tho difference between the total first cost of all this sugar and its total cost to the people Is what the latter pays as a tax. You aee, also, how much of this tax found its way Into Government coffers. You see the enormous sum of wealth which, In a single year and on a single article, is, by the process I have described, sucked out from substance. I would Illustrate the same with regard to salt, tea, cotton goods, etc. There are over ten thousand different articles taxed with custom duties m this country, and the total amount yielded in 1864 and 1805 was $77,949,508. Since that time the number of articles taxed with customs duties has been Increased and the rates of duty have been raised, so that for the li c il \ ar ending July 30, 1866, the yield was $170,U0,651; and for the fiscal year ending July 30, 1807, ii was, as estimated a year before by the Secretary of the Treasury, $160,843,774. The product of these taxes for three years was, in gold, $417,839,933. If the people were fleeced as much on other articles—and the tariff on others Is heavier—the entire sum of which they were robbed during the last three years amounted to no leas than $672,000,000, or, enough to buy and own all the capital stock ot the four great trunk lines of railroad from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, and to enable you to draw and possess the dividends every year for your own benefit, or a sum equal to onefourth of the public debt! Turn to the other branch of the revenue and you will perceive precisely the same results. Step by step, unfalteringly, undeviatingly the taxes on Imports have been gradually raised, until they are nominally fifty per cent, and really three hundred. Step by step, and with the same selfish motive, the Internal taxes have been alternately raised and lowered. Now, prices can only be affected through two agents; one Is taxation, the other Is currency. I have shown you how the taxation device at every step has sweated prodigious results in the pockets of the harpies that are preyinffupon us before affected by legisla-
tion.
There Is another and equally potent means by which the earnings ot the industrial classes may be preyed upon without their knowledge and converted to the use and benefit of the indolent and the rich. This is by affecting the price of merchandise through a change In the currency. When your rulers left the Constitution and made legal tender of paper, they left the currency of God and Democracy— gold. Y ou are the sufferers. Let me illustrate. Recollect always that the value of all things depends upon their relative supply and demand. For Instance, if there are twice as many sums of ten cents seeking to be sold for coffee as there are pound* of coflee seeking to be sold for ten cents, then the price of coffee would bo twenty cents per pound. If on the contrary there are twice os many pounds of coffee seeking to be told for ten cents, as there were sums of ten cents seeking to be sold for coffee, then the price of coffee will be five cents a pound. This is what we call the natural price, or the relation between supply and demand.

meet, and equal effort* to obtain the ascen dsney. From these causes, there moat arise a WSEfSSttSJSSKr o£2s: other must be destroy ed or the two must ghmate. Tbs radical leaden In the United States kaaw that ibis is true, but what do they care for truth if they can retain power. Tbeae who mould the epteiw of that party, in spite rf all of these high sounding phrases and hollow philanthropy* knaw, that with equal ragrsgc, one or the other race must be destroyed. They also know that there are thirty-two millions of white men in thin country, and that there arc but four miliiona of negroes. They also know that there can be no amalgamation of races, and that the hand of God baa placed open the face of each a widely separating and distinctive mark. They know too, that If ever a contest comes, there will be eight white men on the side opposed to one negro on the other, and that to such a contest the negro would necessarily perish. What eare they, however, for this! The destruction of a race can not take place to a generation, and they are living in the present and mean to retain power daring their lives. This motto la opres nous le deluge, after us let the dtluge come. It the radical party had contented itself with setting the negro free, and aecnring to him civil rights, we could have no cause to complain. The South readily accepted this as a result of the war, and cheerfully yielded the demand. A stake Is played for to every game, in the game of war as well as in any other. The North won and the South was ready to pay, and did pay. While our fields have been devastated; eur railroads destroyed; our homes burned (e the ground, and our material prosperity checked, we did not complain at the result. Labor was not then put in opposition to capital, nor was race placed in antagonism with race. There could bo no clashing of interests between the negro and the white man. We were not asked to sit In the same conveyances; to worship side by side in the same churches; to mingle in the some school*, and to strive with each other for position and power m the balls of legislation. The negro had a soli sod climate where he would easily thrive; a country in which be was by law protected to the enjoyment of hls life, liberty and property. The white man fearing no antagonism, dreading Uo clash, conflict or amalgamation of race, would have found It to bis Interest to protect the negro, If for no other reason, in order to preserve the labor of the country. When, however, the radical party rejected these measures and in shameless defiance of the Constitution placed military governors over the Southern States, and aitimof the ■word dema®4M v «w-*, ** ^Mle a nation became changed. The negro will be true to bis race, as the white mao will be true to his. Each will strive for supremacy, and the lesser matter of preserving the present labor of the country will be merged in the greater one of preserving the integrity of the race. If this contest should ever happen. It Is not very difficult to forsee the result. The South is not totally dependent on negro labor. If the armies of the United States preserved their health when to the South ' nic for purpose of introducing white labor on our plantations? There are large portions of the country where white labor can be used at the present time with perfect safety. Factories will be built, mining will be pursued, and todustnea will be changed. The white man, finding the negro becoming hls competitor to political life, may be forced to abandon the culture of cotton and rice, and seek for new fields of Industry. Should this happen, white labor In the South will be thrown in direct conflict with negro labor. When It becomes or It is conceived to be a matter of necessity, race wiU go with race, and the white man will employ white labor, while the black man will be forced to set k for work from those ofhlsown color. Now it is a well known fact, that the average amount of capacity of the white man is barely sufficient to give him a mere competency. Any one wbo falls below this average, must become a pauper. The average amount of capacity of the negro Is less than is that of the white man, and If ever the competition between the races occurs, the negro who falls below the white man’s average muat necessarily be a pauper. Paupemm Is not favorable to the production of the species, and the mass of the negroes under such a condition of things must soon be destroyed. Should this dire calamity ever occur to the race. It may thank ita radical seducers, for It Is they who have fastened on what Is at present an unprepared race the curse which radical Hang calls "manhood suffrage.” Ttee Vote ter Coagresslmaml Districts.
