doing so. In this county we know that men were sent from plantation to plantation to

on them to the polls, and

iey told those who hesitated about voting that if they did not vote they would be fined, imprisoned, corporeally punished, or driven from the State. A letter before us from another part of the country says: “Mounted negroes were sent to my plantaton yesterday to tell the negroes that if they did not vote they would be put in the penitentiary for seven years. The negroes obeyed orders—the lame, the halt, the rheumatic turned out. Such is the freedom of the ballot-box.” Aye, auch is the freedom the negroes now enjoy! N ine out of ten ofthenergoes in this and the adjacent counties are members of the “loyal league” societies, and had taken an oath to obey the white scoundrels who Initiated them Into these dens of treason; and they were required to vote under the pains and penalties prescribed by vbat order. The nrero police here, in Montgomery, and In Mobile, lent themselves In the work of Intimidation, and used their official position to make that work tall. The “affidavit” dodge was worth 15,000 of the votes cast fer ratification. Told by white men that perjury in sueh a cause was righteousness, negroes had no difficulty In swearing and voting as often as they were requlred—and that was as often as they could get to the polls. Eight out of ten of the “affl davit” voles cast were Illegal, even under the orders that authorized them to be received.

Eleventh District—Not appointed. * » ■ 1 A suspicion* Flank In the Republican Platform. Sixth—We are opposed to the payment ot any part of the rebel debt, or to any payment whatever for emancipated slaves. Senator Hendricks in his speech on the reconstruction bill, in a happy manner meet* this plank in the platform adopted by the Republican State Convention. He was referring to the charge made by Senator Morton in a previous speech, and generally made by the radical speakers and journals, that the Democratic party is pledged to the payment of the South for the loss ol Its property in slaves. Hegai (led as a possibility in the future action of any party, it is simply absurd; but the Senator very properly retorted by reciting certain facts in the history of leading Republicans, which show that paying for the slaves was at one time their open design. Trosldent Lincoln proposed to Congress, In a special message, that It should pass a Joint resolution which he had drawn for the purchase of the alaves of the Idyal Southern people. That was, no doubt, to bribe still more of them Into loyalty by offering to cover their losses. Mr. CONKLING, of the House, now one of the radical Senators from New York, introduced the resolution of the President Into the House; but it was combatted by a Democrat, (Mr. YoORHKN8,) wbo said that, as it took two to make a bargain, the people of his State never would consent to invest their money in slaves; {hey would refuse at once to share in any euch contract. There never has been a case In which the Democracy tavored the payment of money out of the national treasury for the purchase of Mives. Horace Greeley notoriously submitted to Mr. Lincoln a propoMtlon, while the war was going on, to buy a peace by offering f>ur hundred millions for the Southern slaves. There has been no such proposal made by the Democrats, and it is ueedle»t> to say now that there never will bo. Yot almost every nay Mr. ukkeley s paper charges Democrats with ‘•counting th«negroes as men, but selling them like beasts. The editor wont into the market himself as a wholesale purchaser! What motive had the Republican Convention in making a protest against the payment Of any part of the rebel debt, or any payment whatever for emancipated slaves a part of its platform? The propositions to pay for emancipated slaves, it appears, have come from leading Republicans. Was the convey, tlon fearful that the members of Its own pa^ would favor appropriations from the Treasury for the payment of the rebel debt and for emanulpated slaves? Have the radical leaders been purchasing rebel bonds or claims for emancipated slaves for a mere trifls upon speculation, with the hope that through corrupt agencies they could Influence tbis'Unlamous Congresg’’to assume their payment? Are Hughes, Morton. Julian, Coburn, Wasuburne, Orth, Colfax, Williams and the patriotic Shanks engaged in this villainous speculation to rob the treasury and add to the burdens of the tax payers? Scoundrels some times set up the cry of “stop thief,” to cover or conceal their own rascalities, and we can not Imagine any other motive for inserting the sixth plank in the Republican platform. We believe the reselutlons were reported by Colonel R. W. Thompson, and most unmistakably they have about them bis ear marks. The platform of the State Convention is the platform «f the Vigo County Republican Convention constructed by Colonel Thompson,only sSightly enlarged. It Is well known that our eloquent Mend from Vigo has been a somewhat successful jobber in Government claims, ot at least be has that reputation. There were other gentlemen in the convention who have made successful raids upon the public treasury, and whoso virtue is not proof ■gainst similar demonstrations in the future. Does not this view of the case give significance to the sixth plank in the radical platform? If not, what possible motive had the convention In ploclalmlng to the world that the party In power would not assume the payment of obligations which nobody was asking them to do? From the Selma Messenger. Tbe Alwbnma election — Nrgroe* forced to Vote for tbe Constitution— Negroes Token from tbe Jnll to Vote. From Tuesday until yesterday black emissaries of tbe carpert-baggers went from plantation to plantation through tbis county, 'driving the negro hands employed upon them to the polls. The negroes were everywhere told that no negro who failed to vote for the constitution would be permuted to live here. Those wbo didn’t want to vote were Intimidated Into compliance with tbe wishesof their new masters. In old times a slave owner was rarely deaf to appeals of mercy, even from a negro who deserved punishment; but the negroes have masters now wbo have hearts of atone, and the poor slaves were compelled to quit work, lose time, and walk miles through rain and mud to veto for Coon, ailsby, Rex, Cenoley, Etc. We have reason to believe that the carpetbaggers throughout the State had constant communication with each other, wth the view < flcarnlDg how many votes were needed at particular places, their arrangements being made to have the returns ahow tbe required number. It is said that one of them telegraphed from this city to Montgomery, on Friday, that whatever was necessary would be done here. Norris wrote from this place on the 31st. to a friend in Montgomery, that “at least 3,800 votes” must be polled there—not that every effort must be made to get out all the legal votes possible, but that at * mb ar*in»truc Hons were sent to the several counties. With corrupt or partisan officers of election almost everywhere there was but lltMediffl ultyln carrying out the orders from htadquaru rs. In Greensboro, three negroes confined in jail for criminal offenses were taken to the polls and voted on Thursday. One of them was known to be under twenty years of age At Greensboro, a committee was appoiuteU by the conservatives to challenge voters known to be Illegal; but the bureau election officers would not permit them to perform tbla duty. KOur dispatches attributed the order extending the utne of voting to General Meade, The Mobile Bf jitter charges it to General Maiden. Is it not possible that neither of these officers Issued It? At any rate, if such an order actually issned, it should have been entitled “An order to aid in tbe perpetration ol fraud.” It was not needed to give time for every Vegistered voter to vote that wished to—it was only necessary to give time for the scoundrels managing the so-called election to carry oat their corrupt schemes. We believe now, that bad the election been fairly copdncted, without tbe use of money, and without intimidation, not over tbirty thousand votes would have been cast. A week ago we told the New York Tribune that not five thousand white men would vote. We doubt If half that number have voted. From (hr* Selma Tlraaa and Masiangar. tbx threats used to make the meqbois vote. The registered voters of the State were not nermltteU to aot freely without “reairatnt, fear* or the influence of fraud.” The white Voters of the loyal leagues drove, through

i jin

ed that by not

voting the true interest of himself and hi* race would be promoted. On Friday night a negro mob went to bis bouse and threatened to shoot him and his wife if hedld not promise to vote. But he boldly defied tbe mob, end the insolent gang cowered before bit denuaciatloos. Among the various items m the Mobile papers relative to the election, we find the following: Every meant wae reiorted to to bring up the negroes. They were threatened with violence, and told that If they did not vote they would be put back into si every. They were br‘i ’'ed t end threatened; and even the negro wcncues were employed to grab up thoae wbo bad tbe sense to keep away irom the contaminating influence rf the renegades, and ca-

joled them to tbe polls.

We know of many Instances in this city and county In which negroes were frightened from their homes by threats that they would be put in tbe penitentiary if they did not “vote for ratification and the regular ticket.” But it la useless to attempt minute details. The cases above cited are examplee of what was done all over the State. Radloali can’t evade tbe consequences of their own outrages by charging Intimidation upon their oppo-

nents.

From the Selma Times and Messenger. WHAT THE ELECTION DEMONSTRATES—TWO THOUSAND EX-FEDERAL OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS IN TUB STATE REFUSE TO VOTE. This election, In any event, has demonstrated: First. That tbe whites of Alabama are united; and second, that they will act as a unit in all matters affecting tbeir rights to control the political affairs cf the State. It does not look now at if two thousand white men had voted lor the (so called) constitution, and we are certain that not one hundred have dene so wbo did not hold nfflee

ointment

go bei

by military appointment or aspire to office in the new government. We have shown to the

world either that there are no “loyal” white men In tbe Stale, or that the “loyal" men here are opposed to negro domination in the political affairs of the Slate, and as It Is known that at least two thousand ex-Federal officers and soldiers now living here refu-ed to vote, there will be no difficulty in deciding that “loyal” Alabamians bold, and will ever maintain, that only white men should control tha Gov-

ernment ol Alabama. ENORMOUS FRAUDS.

From the Mobile EcgUter. By the Importation of a Urge numi er o' negroes from tbe up-country, wbo voted “early and often” on tbe swindling certificates, tbe radicals have managed to carry tbe city by a bare majority. 'a We could s»y much more—we could expose tbe moat glaring Irauds ever yet attempted for electioneering purposes—but we decline to do so for want of space; lor although in the past the people have been the sufferers of great political swindlers, the columns of this paper and the columns of every paper In the South conjointly would fall to furnish sutlieffent room to embody the rascality by whiiffi tbe carpetbag adventurers and renegade- Wve succeeded in adopting (or nearly adopting, for we know not yet the result) a constitution by which a majority of whites are pUced under -n. t,.K of J ftAiia-xfisr ok ignorant negroes. A msjorily of registered voters could not have been obtained in this county had not tbe military authorities extended tbe time of holding the election three days over that originally fixed. This extension gave tbe radicals au opportunity to import a large number of negro voters, who decided the question. Fram the Selma Meuenger. T1 IE EFFECT5 OF THE CONSTITUTION IF RATI-

FIED.

During the lastdsv or two we have heard many of our best cltiz-ns express a determination tolesve thecouulry as soon as they could raise money enough, even if they should tic compi lied to sacrifice all they had to secure means enough to settle elsewhere. If the Constitution Is ratlfiid, of which there seems to be no doubt, it will have tbe effect to sin-pond one-hair the preparations for planting now in progress, and have hundreds of unemployed negroes In every county, and tbe consequent theft and outrage w ill be really dangerous to tbe communities.

General Sam Carey’s Popularity—The Spring Election — Corey Long-Storm*— The Fight in Indiana—The “Nasby" Im-position-Vine Street Gentry and Fourth Strett Fashionables— Corruption of the City—Fine Model House—Fuf Cei Special Correspondence Indianapolis Herald. CINCINNATI, February 20,1808. No cine acquainted with the facts can doubt that General Carey has struck He. Through many years he was ahold laborious, and popular temperance orator, and no donbt made many converts to the cause. But this benevolet mission only psid in fame, applause and moral distinction. Bam has talents,eloquence and nerve far above many. In fact, he has always been in every conflict of hi* life, “a hero in the stripe.” 'He has brains for thought, vigorous, active and efflcicent; and a physique as full and well proportioned as one would see in a days’ travel. This last contest, which was for tbe seat he now occupies, brought him out because It gave him a legitimate chance to show hts metal. Smith, his opponent, was no ordinary antagonist. He Is a keen and racey writer, a man of abilities and of good moral character. But be is only a moderate orator, ra'.ber alow on trigger and possesses far lesj personal attraction than Carey. Then besides all this he is a chronic radical, ready to indorse any and all things said or done by the political church of which be Is a member in tbe best of standing. Carey was presented to the people aa the friend of tbe working man, and consequently as a Democrat. Democrats voted for him and elected him, and he bad sense enough to see the bridge which brought him over. He has so far stood up well to tbe expectations of bis friends, and by vote and speech he has vindicated tbe confidence reposed in him. The fun poked at him by the Gosefteand Commercial, ever and anon, la not reliable, and ia only said in view of deprecating his growing popularity, and to take a little unmanly par tisan revenge for tbe inglorious defeafhegave them so very unexpectedly The element of radical antagonism developed In our city in the election of Carey is again moving for reform in our coming spring election. The people feet that the old dyoastv of Democratic rule would be far more preferable than the authority which for several years baa made them danco to the tune of high t^es and municipal extravagance. The roll of the drum is already heard, and the working Democracy are on tbe alert to right up tbe many wrongs which have grown out of our city legislation. It will be seen that a new order will bo Instituted—that tho vote of reform will be given by tbe people with ■ will and resolve which radicals will understand as tbe plate rebuke of tbeir aristocratic extravagance and party corruption. Men at a distance sometimes inquire what j Cary and Long are doing? They ask whether ihote men chime inharmonlously with tbe general orthodoxy of the party ? Some have even supposed that there were two great divisions among Democrats here. 1 know not that It Is my duty to answer these and other i questions which the inquisitive may ask. yet i l may have my say about them—as I write i what 1 please, and therefore I will just say that in a great community like this the per- , eoail power and influence of a few men.cven 1 as distinguished as Mr. Long and Mr. Cary, Is quite limited, when they are against tbe 1 current. Even George H. Pendleton himself would not expect to letd off or exert much i power if he would attempt to distract or divide. We have no mm among us wbo can I disorganize the determined hearts of tbe Democracy of tbis city, of this county, or of this i State. The fact U there is a unity of purpose i among the people of Ohio which It would bo j dangerous for any man or faction to disturb. They see victory before them, and they denounce any man as a coward or an enemy wbo proposes division or who cflVm to district. Every Intelligent Democrat knows 1 this, and therefore tba harmony of the hour 1 demonstrates tho lull and general victory which awaits tbe party throughout the land, i The late appointment of Mr. Stoms to the Assessorshlp, took many tf our J citizens by surprise. ' The man was not prominent or rich, or es- | quAIIUCtf, U,*.ugli 1.0 IB B&1U UJ OU i clever, important, well pleased, and, perhaps, 1 nearly as pious n Rev. Maxwell P. Gaddis. Tho Inner wheels which worked his appointment and secured bis confirmation have not been visible, but it Is supposed that they were rational, satisiactory and regular. Y'ou may I rest assured that the Democracy cf Ohio feel a deep interest in the fortunes of tho party in Indiana. Tho ticket made to-day by tbe radicals of j our Slate wilf lie supported by the leaders of that party with as much effort >nd expense nud misrepresentation as In any year In their bbtory. It will not matter muih , wbo they have nominated for this year. Tbe conflict will not be one of men, bnt it will be a light on po//cy—a fight ngatnst unconstltuI tlonal asMimpiiuDs, radical legislation and negro suffrage—a fight of tbe rich against tbe ! poor. Such a conflict, in short, as we have never had before In the history of the coun-

try.

But you need not fear. Your own ticket Is as good as the State could afford, and tbe Republicans can not excel you in either the high qualifications or tbe sterling Integrity of your men. Then, I say, let the fight come! Your brave and true men will meet tbe emergency, all over the State, as they have never met any antagonistic party before. They will work— work for truth and labor, for victory, for the ! good of their ehildreo, and the white salvation i of tbe land. A single specimen of tbe feeble winded wll- ' llngness of deluded radicals to yield to Imposition was splendidly exhibited In tbe alienj tlon paid to the lectures of “Nasby,” In this | city, a few days ago. Of course be was patronized, eulogized and gloried in, by those of bis own faith, while his own party press “done him up” with all tbe usual flourishes. Nasuy has displayed some wit and humor with a vast amout of Ignorance, both of truth and letters. This style is neither original nor admirable. He feigns ignoronce to show bis political ingenuity, and writes falsehoods with the skill of the most venerable reprobate. His efforts, however, have found extensive circulation, because of the bitter partisan slander of their character, and because he has only lied to defame and defamed to damn that party which has ruled the country and governed It so well through most of Its history. No writer or lecturer should ever be patronized who lies for fame, or who finds notoriety by low political slander. The example Itself is destructive of tbe purity of society, and tho Influences of all such witty ignoramuses only mars tbe beauty and virtue of the country we live In. But, strange to say, tbe pious read his letters, and the churches patronize bis lectures, becausa they see In them an lmaglnary;power In favor of tbe wild fanaticism they are taught to worship tnd adore. I often pass up Ytne street, and It Is not often I miss the neatly shaved countenances of scores of well dressed young men, wbo, alter all, look to me to be living on the interest of what they owe. They stand along tho sidewalks as If they wore watting for an opportunity to do tomething, but as I have never knowu them to “do any dirt,” in order to be charitable I will only presume that they are gentlemen of greenback distinction, whose fortunes are already made, and whose only business Is to “ kill tlmo.” Along Fourth atreetyou will see, of a beautiful afternoon, the graud parades and stately promenades of our city fashionables. The ladles of grace and wealth and beauty seem to favor this street especially. They glance first atjtbe windows and then at the passing gentlemen, as If thev were at a loss to decide which was the most attractive. Rich In dress, and capped with the most tasteful tiny bonnets, and fixed out In tho universal waterfall, these angels of feminine accomplishments move along tbe narrow thoroughfare like birds of paradise just set free for tbe occasion. If I was a young man, and was worth a hundred thousand dollars, and had a stone front somewhere, l think 1 should be tempted to catch one of these birds and cage it, that it might sing for me through my life’s dreary history. But, alas! for tAem/ I am already mated. The popular vices of tbe age have crowded this city with masses of fallen humanity, whose life and habits and history would, If given to tbe world, move and melt the hearts of men—tbe most obdurate. Many of them die unregretted, and are burled without a stone. On the northwest corner sf Vine and Fearl, may be found one of the model houses of this city. The firm ot Dickinson, Price A Bishop, has long been known as being composed of gentlemen of Integrity and honor, and ready at all times to demonstrate their business ac-

From the National Intelligencer. Tl»e Political Sltaasioia—Asa Able Docoment for tho Time*. We do not know that wo have ever read an abler document than the following address adopted by the Democratic Convention of West Virginia. The address embodies, with remarkable brevity and power, an expoaition of the unconstitutional and revolutionary policy cf the radical party.* It is a document which should be in tbe bands of, and read by, every American citizen. Read and give it to your neighbors. It Is beyond all question the best political document of the times:. To th* People of West Virginia: We invite your attention to a review of the general political situation. Its evils, and their remedy. i' . Since 1861 the harmony of this nation has been sadly disturbed. For four years of the intervening time the interruption of peaceful relations was. due to a state of war. The practical disunion existing since 1866 is referable to a course of Congressional action, wicked in motive, Illegal In character, and ruinous In result. While the war for the Union was In progress Its successful Issue was anticipated as the guaranty of prompt reunion and permanent peace. Such a consummitlon was tbe aim of patriotic effort in the field, tbe object of solemn pledges In the halls of Congress, and the confident expectations of the masses of the people. The war has long since ended. Tbe rebellion has long since been crushed. Every obstacle placed ty Southern movement in the way of the nation’s unity has long since been removed. Nevertheless, dlssppolntroent waits upon the people’s wish. The pledges of Congress have been repudiated. The triumphs of our

A dissolution more dlsastnunfthan that now existing between the Southern States and the Federal Government oould scarcely have been brougbt about by the success of the rebellion. A condition of affairs so much at vananos with the wishes and intereate of the people of our entire country demand a reference to the acta and alms of thoae who produced It. CONGRESSIONAL RECONSTRUCTION. For morff than two years the Southern States have dealred to renew their old relations with tbe Government. Congress has constantly prevented this resumption. They are entitled to be redored upon th* basis of the Federal Constitntfdl. Congress has confessedly thrown aside that instrument and obetrncted restoration with terms and conditions of Us own prescribing. Affecting to desire Iks perpi tulty of the Republic, it bas made a deadly assault upon republican Institutions. Professing to aim at tbe salvation of the Unten it bas wrought the destruction of ten of tbe State*. The right of each State to regulate Its own Internal affairs, enfranchise its own voter*, and choose its own rulers and law makers, is as saerrd as onr Constitution, and as indestructible as our Government, Without it republican liberty is worthless, fer when the people cease to be free citizens of tba States they become tbe subjects oi unlimited and Irresponsible federal power. When Congress abolisbed the local governments of the South it violated a vital principle In our system. When It erected military establishments in their stead It introduced the most abominable feature of despotism In furtber pursuance of Its purposes. Congreet has thrown the political power of the South into negro hands. To assure this result it has disfranchised the white population by hundreds of thou-

sands.

Enfranchising tbe blacks.lt has made voters of the Ignorant, the vlctoue, and the brutal; legislators of thoae wbo regard liberty aa license, and tew as tbe Instrument of revenge; and ruler* of o class whose ideas of government, like their notions of religion, tend di-

Actual and almost universal destitution exists among the people; tbe unhappy victims of congressional cruelty must become pensioners upon national charity or perish from starvation. Hordes of thriftless and discontented negroes passionate almost to brutality, induced to vice by idleness, incited to violence by evil counsellors, fed And pampered at tbe public cost, with a great army lor tbeir protection, roam at will throughout tbe land upon a mission of evil, carrying dl-may to the hearts of helplessness and innocence, and shocking civilization with tbe worst of namaleaacnmes. Such is tbe condition of the South. A military despotism is over her people. The band of lawless violence threatens

them.

Desolation reigns on every band. About them are the graves of tbeir countless dead. The past is strewn with tbe wreck of their greatness. Present suffering »u rounds them. Tbeir future is thick with peril and dark with gathering misfortunes. Tbe foes of the nation are at her feet. Broken in spirit, stripped of fortune, wasted, ragged, wretched and ruined, their situation invokes the magnanimity of kindred manhood and appsnls to th* generous mercy of n noble enemy. DISTRESS AT THE SOUTH PRODUCX3 PROSTRATION AT THE NORTH. The evil Influence of tho bayonet reconstruction la not confined to the 8oulb. Tbe entire country feels It. Northern business languishes for want of Southern trade. Northern factories are silent because South-

the .

and dies

Labor receives Us wages in paper; the products of tbe farm, the goods of the merchant,

professional fees, all prices and valu the people, are paid in paper.

If that tend of money Is good for the masses, good to buy ali things, from tbe sweat of labor to the blood of valor, why should it not suffice tor the redemption of the Federal se-

curities?

EXEMPTION OF THE BONDS. Under radical management the bonds are exempt from taxation. Receiving from the Government the same protection with other property, they pay not a dollar to Its support. Such exclusive prlvllege.establlsbes an aristocracy of money in the midst of a republic

oi labor.

Toil D taxed; bonds are exempt. Toll produces; bonds consume. Toll builds our public Improvements; bond holders enjoy their benefits at no cost. Toll supports our schools; bond holders share tbeir advantages and pay nothing for the privilege. Toll supports our courts, pays our legislators, and defrays the general expenses of the Government; ;fiord holders partake of the blessings of ali and contribute to the sustenance of none. A policy which makes labor so completely tributary to capital ia anil-republican with effect upon the masses. We greatly mistake tbe temper of the people If they do not demand that this wrong be promptly righted by sueh repeals and enactments as will compel all property alike to share the burdens of tax-

ation.

THE REVENUE SYSTEM. Radicalism derives tbe bulk of the Federal revenue from home productions and the necessaries of life. Over sixteen thousand articles, Including almost everything that supports life or lightens labor, are now tbe subjects of taxation. Hence the great disparity between wages and tbe cost of living. Frauds upon tbe revenue are another characteristic of the present system. The laws are evaded; theeffluer* are bribed; the country la robbed. Over one hundred millions of dollars were lost last year through downright villainy, and tbe deficiencies of wesitby knaves must be made good by tolling honesty. WHERE THE MONEY GOES. A large portion of the taxes now raised is applied to worse than useless purposes. Tn« Freed men’s Bureau costs twelves millions annually, a sura equal to the entire yearly expenSV of the Government under some of tbe earlier adnatelstrationa. That InsUtutton feeds, clothes,and supports a neat of malignant Southern haters, negro fanatics, and greedy adventurers, backed by tbe Federal army. It has done more to breed bitterness and discord among the Southern people than the war Itself. The military establishments at the South are another item of useless and extravagant expenditures. It is costing from sixty to one hundred mllliuns annually. High radical authority estimates that It will take ten years to reconstruct tits South by the present process. The lowest possible amount for which thl* partiaan enterprise can be completed will be eight millions of doUar*. Are the people of this nation to be imperertshed in order that the dav of nlggertsm and fanaticism may be long in the land? Are tbe masses of th* country to be mercilessly taxed, robbed and ruined. In ordewtbst corruption may prosper, love of power be salisfled, and the supremacy of radicalism be as-

sored?

We look for such a response to these questions as will wips out tbe abominations or the bayonet, restore civil and constitutional governments to tbs South, exclude tbe African element from the sphere of politico, and reestablish the American Union upon tbe ancient foundation* of equal Justice and popular affection. A REMEDY POSSIBLE. Let ns recur to the remedy for the manifold wrong* to wblen we have referred. Tbe reconstruction question, whatever difficulties it may present to bitter partisans, Is capatde of a sale and easy adjustment though tbe exercise of an honest and liberal patriot-

ism.

Tne simple application of the principle* of the Federal Constitution will remove every obstacle and effect a peaceful, permanent and satisfactory settlement. If that instrument possesses the perfection with which evrrr lover of his country Invests In it.lt will not be found wanting at the crlll- | cal juncture. TheConatltutlon which has blessed the people with liberty and crowned this land with greatness will not now prove Inadequate to tbe design* of Its authority and leave the vital interests of the Uoion at the mercy of rude chance* and political passlno*. Let its provisions be applied, and representatives of the Scntb, eiccu d by tbe only qualified voters ot that suction, will take tbeir sests in Congress, subject only to th i condition tml>oaed upon members Irom other parts of the land, tbe natorol relations between tbe Southern States end the (iunural Government will tie resumed, and the union of the States, triumphantly restored, will return in form, in fact, and freedom to the original glory of her flrst and best estate. The restoration of the South will open the wav to great financial relief. When her people are relieved ot tbe domination of the bayonets and tbe blacks, they will be encoursgod to productive pursuit*; general prosperity will revive their pslaled energies, and Ihelr assistance will be happily felt In removing the great burden of debt which now Imiiedes the national progress. Tbe costly national nuteance.tbe Kreedmeu’t Bureau, will be sboliabed. and common sense, having mastered the situation, will decree that negroes, like white men, must either work or starve. Tbe expensive Southern military establishment will be acknowledged unnecessary, and with their disappearance taxpayers will thank God and take courage. A fair taxation of the Federal securities will yield many millions of revenue. The national banks suggest another opportunity for retrenchment. They own between three and four millions in Federal bond*, upon which they draw interest. These bonds are deposited with the Government, and for every $100,000 so deposited, they receive $90,000 la national bank notes. These notes constitute thoir circuiatloa, and with them they carry on the business and earn tbe profits of banking proper. Tbe Interest accruing on tbeir deposited bonds is to much premium paid to them, in addition to the regular earning* of their business. They receive the benefit of Just nlnetv per cent, morn capital than they have Invested, and this gratuitous premium comes from tbe pockets of tbe people. Justice requires that this sum, amounting to twenty and thirty millions annually, be saved to tbe people.

MEDICAL,.

and storehouses are full,

ern pockets ore empty. Western graneriea ai but poverty possesses tbeir ancient market, and their former buyers are now begging

bread.

A commercial crash Is Imminent, and business stands still snd trembles st the prospect. The manufacturing Interests of the nation are crippled and almost crushed. The spindle U motionless; the shuttle is silent; tbe forge and tho furnace are deserted; tbe workshop Is vacant; tbe mill ia closed. The bands of the artisan are unemployed and empty; his children are starving, homeless and in rags. Tbe impoverishment of the South throws the entire burden of taxatioa upon the North and West. Tbe Snutbern States can render no assistance while the Government grinds them with an iron heel. If the people shared Its benefits they would bo Impelled to productive ability. As they partake only of Its Severities, they could not support If they would, and so long as tt oppresses them. If tho? are fit to be freemen, they should nut support tt if they could. THE CONGRESSIONAL PURPOSE. The declarations of leading Republicans In Congress leave no room to doubt that the action of that body has been taken with reference to the future of the radical party, rather than the unity of the American Re-

public.

The Nations! Legislature ha* become a mere machine for the manufacture of radical

majorities.

Its material Is the worst ami lowest class of humanity, barely re-cuod from the brutality of the savage state by contact with civili-

zation.

A valuable adjunct In the work Is the exclusion of white Intelligence and experience from participation in the Government. The guarantee of success is the red right hand of tho War Department. A syntem which Is based upon negro stupidity, supported by bayonets, and designed to secure partisan triumphs through tbe enslavement of men of our own race, may be instituted here through force and fraud, but if it can endure in this land, the American people have learned liberty to no purpose, and well deserve to be taught its value under the stern tutelage of tyranny which awaits them in the future of radical supremacy. FINANCIAL AFFAIRS. In Its management of our financial affairs, the dominant party has enacted the grossest folly and Injustice. Repeated contractions of the currency have caused Incalculable commercial disasters. A still more dangerous measure of contrac. tlon is now proposed In tbe Senate, by which the legal tender*;are to be withdrawn from circulation and replaced by Interest bearing

bonds.

If property and business do not enter an effective protest, the result will be little abort of general ruin. THE NATIONAL DEBT. The national debt amounts to $2,600,000,000. It costs tbe holders $l,2j0,000. The party in power would pay it in gold, dollar for dollar. They would give the bondholders a currency different from and better than that used by the people. Specie for the money lenders and paper for the masse* 1* the end of their financial

policy.

A discrimination ao palpable and unfair 1* an Insult to the popular aense of Justice. By th* terms of tbe act of issue, greenbacka are made legal tender for all debt*, public and private, except duties on imports and interest

on the pubUo debt.

Even tbe soldier* of tbe Republic accepted paper aa tbe price of tbeir toil* and

hardships.

The klmple process of recalling the national Dank notes and subutltuting for the bonds legal tenders aa banking currency, will effect the needed result, and another (ink hole for the earning of laborers will be effectually,

stopped.

In the matter of revenue, fewer articles could be taxed, and thrrugh a more perfect and more honeat mode of assessment and collection, much larger returns eould be realized. Congressional extravagance end corruption

should be reformed.

Investigating committees should be nbol-

isbed.

Land grants and railroad swindles should be abandoned. The Indian wars, like tbe last, should be avoided. Terrestrial purchases should be suspended. Counties* other modes of waste and fraud could be corrected, and n portion of the savings set aside for the Anal redemption of the

debt.

A sinking fund for tbla purpose, made up of bond taxation, tbe premium paid the national banks, and tbe money wasted in Africanizing the South, would redeem every dollar of tho debt In less than twsnty years. The way lo this desired end could be opened by the substitution of legal teuders lor the bonds as rapidly ss may be consistent with ssfuty. Millions cow paid In Interest would thus be economized, and, with tbe aid of * restored and producing Houlb, the end of our financial troubles would speedily approach. CONCLUSION. Having thus attempted to set forth your wrongs, and the possibility of a remedy, we now appeal to you to work out the needed reformation. Whatever evils may result irom bad government, tbe people arc the sufferers. Whatever reforms are effected must be brought about by and through the people themselves. The people have it In their power to remove the giant iniquities whose shadows darken tbe land. They have but to speak, and the enemies of their peace will be powerless, tbe dignity of tbe Constitution and the laws will lie vindicated, and their now Imperilled country, rescued from impending danger, purified and strengthened by Us trials, will resume its majestic march in the paths of greatness, happiness and freedom. A movement has been Inaugurated In this city tor the organization of tbe friends of law and order and honest government, a* against tbe forces of radicalism In West Virginia. Tbe movement will extend to every county; it will find co-operation in every township and school district in the State. We invite and urge you to join hands In the great work of political redemption. Other State* have taken tbe lead, and are already enjoying the flrst fruit* of victory. From Connecticut to California, from the Atlantic to tbe Pacific, the people have Interchanged tbe tidings of deiiverencs, and both oceans have heard their wild about of gladness and triumph. The central States Ohio and Pennsylvania have responded with glorious deeds that yet thrill the nation. The Empire State has arisen with a mighty proclamation -for the right, and the manifestation of her power, like the resistless march of a^canquerlog host, point out the path of destiny and bid the nation follow. Alrerdv we hear the footsteps of approaching political revolution. It Is advancing with an energy that give* assurance of its triumphant progress even unto the end. Let tbe people of West Virginia fall In with the hosts that move to the rescue of our Gevernment and its institution*. While others are fighting and triumphing, let them, too, participate in the struggle and contribute to tbe result. We invoke your aid la your own behalf, in behalf of good government, end the attendant blessings of Justice, liberty snd progress. Unite for the restoration of your lost prosperity. Labor for the overthrow of organized fanaticism, corruption and folly. Aut, act, act, for the aake of peace. Union, freedom and humanity-

^ COLD PENS.

No. 25 Maiden Lane, ) . New Tork, Dec. 14,1807. J In my Card of Nov. 1,1867,1 stated that, “for the purpose of more fully supplying tbe want* of the public, and In order to prevent unscrupulous dealers frt»m palming off Inferior and worthless goods as'the Morton Cold Pens, I shall hereafter sell no goods at wholesale except only to duly appointed and authorized Agents,” etc. To thus plan I have since strictly adhered. In accepting Agent*, great care has been exercised to appoint those who, by longcontinued fair dealing, have acquired a reputation for honesty, responsibility, and probity—men In whose word the public have learned to place confidence. These Agents have agreed to keep a full assortment of my pens, and to sell them at my published prices. Thus the pnbUc are supplied by them with just auch pens aa they want, either as to writing or price, and get h full equivalent for the money paid. No agent ia appointed to travel from place to place, or canvas* the country, eo that all who want a Morton Gold Fen must get it from the Local Agent or from headquarters. None need apply for the Agency except In conformity to the above, the liberal^is•ount “To Clubs” being sufficient Inducement to all others. nov, dAwem A ' *°BTON.
