We have sufi'ered so much that .ve care but little what the future has in reserve for us; the four 3'cars oppressions of a jrortrunieut driven to extrenieties ly the adver.se furtuue of war, and two years' submission to thj coctupielv and scorn uf the victors iu the struggle through which wo have just passed, the petty outrages of Freed men's lueans, and the grosser wrongs of military Governors invested with abfolutc power, have prepared us for the patient endurance ot anything and all things that radical ingenuity can devise' for our punishment. For our children, whose happiness must depend upon the government under which they are to lire for our children and theirs we plead with the people of the North, and in their behalf, protest against the will of, perhaps a patrioti?, certainly a partisan Congress, as embodied in the socalled Kcconstruction acts. stood at the--North. "Thuir disposition, feelings, wishes, intention, hopes and plans have been o long and to persistently unrepresented, that they indulge no thought of the speedy correction of the wrongs done t lern. iJut '-time at hist cts all things even," and I do not doubt that one day the people of the ''loyal States" will admit that however mistaken we may have been, we were actuated by pure and patriotic motives, even when we voted lor secession, that we suffered and fought four years fur the maintenance of the Constitution as wc understood it, and that when we surrendered at last to the victorious armies of the Federal Government wc accepted the changed situation in good faith, and to this day have never entertained a thought of avoiding a faithful compliance with the conditions of our cpitulation, or shrinking from the faithful discharge of every duty imposed upon us by the re-cstablishnicnt of the Federal authority over us. When General Grant, on the 18th of Pecember, 1SG5, made his memorable re port to the President on tho condition of the South, he said and taid truly ot the Southern people : The mass of thinking men of the South accept the present situation of af fi'rs in good faith. The fjuestions which have heretofore divided the seutimcnts of the people of the two .sections slaver) and States rights or the right of a State to t ede from the Union they regard as having been settled forever by the highest tribunal arms that men cau resort to." A Southern born man, secessionist, "rebel," familiar with the sentiments ol the leading men of this Fcction, I claim that General Grant then correctly represented t lie feelings and the convictions of the Southern people, and that anything said of them to-day, not ir. accordance with his statement then, is untrue and un just. Hut wc are opposed to reconstruction ? No. Wc accepted as one of the results cf the war, the indissolubility of the Union. Wc want tho Union restored, the Government reconstructed on the basis of the Constituion, that wc may have peace in reality, tranquility, prosperity and happiness. Until the work of reconstruction made necessary solely by the mistake of the. President iu the summer and fall of 1805, and the subsequent errors of Congress shall be completed, wc can hope for the influx of neither population nor capital; and both arc ne?e?sary to lift us from the depths of poverty, and put within our reach the necessaries ami a portion of the luxuries of civilized life. Wc have in Alabama incxhaustablc eoal beds, the richest deposits of iron iu the world, the finest t'uiber on the continent, unequaled water power, a prolific soil and a genial climate; but the will of (Jen. Pope, variable as the counsel of the ring of c t-sccessionist?, political adventurers and social outlawd by which he is surrounded, is tho supreme law of tho land, and capital and population, neither safe under a despotism, seek other fields, offering fewer natural ndvanges but greater security. As we suflcr on, patiently, patriotically, loyally, seeing no certain relief iu the future, but trusting hopefully and confidently to the sober fecond thought of the people c4. the North, whoso destiny is inextricably involved with ours. And yet we prefer the evils of euch a military despotism to the establishment of

a negro govern neu t over us, and tho success of the Congressional scheme of reconstruction meius nothing more nor less thn this. Oucj reconstructed under the Congressional ilau, the negfeca of Alabama will choose her Governor and elect her Ledgislaturt, and make her Judges; her laws will be made, expounded and executed by the representatives of a class possessed of nelhcr intelligence nor property, and whatever there is to maintain, incapable of accuiring eithev ; her taxes wiil be imposed by those who have uo property, aud paid by those who have no voice in imposiug them, lleoustruction here, under the pending plan, means the subjection of the intelligent white race to the ignorant black race. Accomplished, no white man will ever seek a home here, no capitalist will crer dream of au investment in our rich rynes. Accomplished, Alabama becomes a paradise for thriftier, ignorant, improvident and idle negrocr, and white adventurers without credit or character, or capital, and au impossible residence for all other classes. Accomplished, our railroads will go into bankruptcy, our coal fields and iron beds will remain undeveloped, our cotton fields grow up in weeds and brambles, our markets be closed r.gainst north-western products for want of buyers. Accomplished, poverty and degradation will be seen everywhere, and property and intelligence will necessarily seek safety in more favored sections. Anticipating this state of affairs, thousands of the best families in the South are turning their backs on the homes of their ancestors aud escaping from

the evils that no Northern man can fully realize, to lrazil and Central America. Is it surprising. that wc avail ourselves of the privileges allowed us by Congress to oppose a reconstruction that promises only such results ? For the Democrat. The Coming1 County Fair. To the Citizens of MarsJial County : No one thing contributes so much toward the success of the people and value of the property of a county, as a well sustained Agricultural Society. If farmers, iacchanics aud business men will reflect carefully upon the subject, they will see that tlicy can mate more capital of a permanent character, by aiding liberally to build up an J sustain such a society, than by any other means. The closer the iutimacy, the more extensive the acquaintance, the greater the knowledge of the business aud productions of the different cl:i?se3 of community, the greater the progress in every branch that makes social and commercial life desirable, the greater the increase of propuction, the more improved the means of production, the greater the stimulus to improvement, uio;e toe increase in the value ol property and moans of transportation and marketing, the higher the prices obtained, to sav nothing of the beneficial and ideasant results of social and business intercourse, rcs'ilting directly and collaterally. The society in this county can be made an eminent success vr itli a little effort on your P.m. w.: u-a-u.ui auu 1. .nh.nln I. ..-a I . ., , I , - I ...I ...... , . . . . . a a able grounds. Large sums have been ex - pended in making improvements, which arc iu such a condition that a little more expense and labor will complete them (and without that little, all must be lost that has been done,) and no c is the time to do it. Three years ügo the fair went over because of the war. Last year it weut over because of the continued raius. This year wc ought to have a good fair and one that will be a credit to the county. The farmers owe agricultural societies for all their best seeds, tools, houses, horses, cattle, harness and methods of farming. Other businessmen have been equally benefitted. The best of these things, together with the be-t .chools and school houses, and t lie richest aud most sociable people are found in those counties having agricultural societies, and the best attended fairs. If you will come forward vote with money or labor, or take and pay for lil'emcmbcrships, and help, wc can get ready for our approaching fair; then if the people at large will contribute to the exhibi tion of the best of their inductions, we shall achieve a success in every respect, and all will be benefit toil. Donations of money can be made to W. J. Hand, Gideon Dliin or C. H. Iteevc, executive committee. Labor and lumber will be gratefully received this week and next All kinds of stock and farm productions, mechanical productions, and every kind of useful and ornamental article, made by any and everybody, sho'd be brought to the fair, and no one will regret the effort they may make iu doing so. Let us, as a people, make one energetic effort to make the next fair a creditable success, and let no man or woman fail to bring what they have for fear some one may have something letter. AN OLD MUM nun. Important. Referring to the fact that the Home has, on motion of (Jen. Duller, ordered an inquiry into the mystery of ti e assassination conspiracy, the Albany (N. Y.) Express says : "Here, for example, is one significant fact which wc learu from authority that can not be doubted. On the night of the assassination the pickets on the road which Dooth took from Washington ncrc withdrawn by a writtcu order of a high military officer in our army. On one previous night, when tho plan of abduction was to have been carried. out, the pickets were withdrawn by the same r taeer. That written order is now accessible. This would certainly scorn to indicato that others besides thoe whose names are familiar to the public were not ignorant of the conspiracy. Indeed, it is the opinion of some whose position enable them to learn tho interior facts of the case that there was present at the theater, on the fatal night, one higher than Dooth, who had t lie supervision of the deadly work. Trace3 of this mm have been found, but he has never been fully identified." -a. "Dear me," paid Mrs. Grundy, "and fo they have put telegraph polls all tho way 'cross the ocean. I shouldn't wondor if thev tritd a pontooa bridge next."

The writer went forth as a volunteer, to fight for the preservation of the Union,! aud he tells his comrades what they fought i p., on.i l, i;..in i,-v rn,n;,.,wi v. v AUi ll;1 lllll lll till I O ILVVlltVi A v i. x, r , j every soldier re id it : ; Never iu the world were a people more deceived and swindled than ours in tho result of the late unfortunate civil war. Wc fought for one thing and have got something else. When the war was begun the . Government made such solemn a.vuranccs that it was oulv to be waged to restore tho Constitution and to preserve the Uniou of our fathers, which had conferred so many blessings on them and their children, made them willing to risk everything for its preservation. Vv hcu the ! cry was raised that the South had uujustly taken up arms, to break up the L nion and destroy the Constitution, our people, almost to a man, rose up to resist. The occasion struck deep into the great patri otic heart of the North, and the whole country gave up her men and means. The Uniou and the Constitution were the great battle cry, which resounded from the lakes to the Potomac, and frcru the St. John.s to the Pacific. No oue thought or talked of anything else and the soldier had no intention of fighting for anything else. For the Union, fathers and mothers gave up their sons, sisters their brothers, and sweethearts their lovers. They blessed them when they went to the field, and offered them a willing sacrifice on the altar of the country. What else could thev have done for a cause so sacred? For the Union, men of all degrees submitted to the most onerous taxes and will'incrly gave of their abundant or scanty store, because they deemed it would advauce the great cause and hasteti the return cf peace, prosperity, and a united country. It is useless for us to call the atteution of our roa lci's to the sacrifices made by the North. We need only point to t fie half million oT our 80!i3 end brothers slain in battle, or maimed fur lU'e, and the three thousand millions of dollars spent for the wealth of the reotde, to snv nothing of the agony aud mourning all over the land. II r -; the price we puid for nVestored Union. Have we got wliat wc fought, and bled, and sufi'ered for? If wc have, where is the Union that was to be made whole, and the Constitution (hat was to be restored ? Have we got them? Ahis. no! 'i In one is hopeiersly shattered and the other is only known by the few fragments that ''stick in the kidneys ot some Senators." For all the blood and treasure we expended, we have only the negro to show. Wc, have nun 'at an enormous price, to be fed out of the public treasury and voted by the bureau. He is to be made the ruLr of the country, and the war has resulted in establishing eleven negro States in the South. In the.se States there is not a vestige of republican government left. Military despotism prevails everywhere, and i j lioithor ( 'mi t i t Ii f i rm lmr liirc lirr.tonU tPnl . ...........iv .

While we fought to make the foundations of Constitutional Liberty more enduring, we sec the edifice pulled down and the corner stone digged up. The negro with the ballot in his hands is the only remedy offered to the Amcricau people to cure the serious ills that afllict the body politic. Talk of taxes, and we receive the answer of "universal Miirrags." Complain of despotism and wc ars told ''equality before the law,"' wiU set all things right. Ask for a restoraticn of the Union and the Constitution, and we are (old to wait until the negro is secured in his rights. Oh, oppressed, and outraged, and taxridden people, how long will you' submit to this state of things ' Will you always be willing to receive a stone for the bread that belongs to you '! When will you demand a fulfillment of the term. of the war bond? If not paid soon let us sue it out iu the great tribunal where such claims arc adjudicated. The Campaign In Ohio. 1 he Holmes County trmcr says, never in any onmpaign has the Democracy-of Ohio had such an array of talent on the stump as at the present. Our gifted speakers arc pouring hot shot iuto the enemy that goes crashing through their ranks like bombshells. In every Democratic speech tho radicals behold their parly pictured to life, ltadical speakers dare not deny that their party has destroyed the Union, borne dow.j the nation with debt, increased the expeu.es of government ten fold, iutiictcl upon the peoan army of unnecessary officers, and that their design is to supplant republican government wish Mexican outlawry and reduce the white people to a mixed, indolent, semi-barbarous, discontented, law-defying and rebellious race like that which inhabits Mexico. Take the past of the radical party ami what it promises for t lie future, and it is the greatest wonder in the world how any honest man can be so blinded by party prejudice as to vote that ticket. The indications are that thousands who have voted it heretofore will do so no longer.

The Political Reaction of 1SÜ7. i We arc. it is t-rettv awarent to all cratic watcr3 Ul sweep Radicalism ! out of the political field. The times of have come again ! The first indica-! . i t l - 1 Hampshire, in March, where the itepub-1 jean majority was considerably reduced on j uou oi toe turning was onscrvca in .cw can majority ifs formcr votc Theu came the brilliant ! Democratic victory in Connecticut, and the triumphant election of a Democratic Governor and three Democratic Congressmen out of four, being all gains since the last Congressional election. Soon afterward two State elections took, place in election. The reaction was next observed iu the very Gibraltar of Radicalism, t;:cl State of Vermont, wlir rc, although the j Democrats bad no hope of success, and did ! not make a vigorous fight, yet tho ltadical majority fell off several thousand on the popular vote. To crown all, wc have the overwhelming Democratic success in California, whore for years the Itadicals have been as omnipotent, almost as in Massachusetts. It was not the Kadical division ou Governor that gave us the Stale, for wc have elected other State officers, upon which both factions in their party were united, and we have also carried the legislature, which will give us a United States Senator. Does any one suppose that it is a local cause that reduces at tho same time the llepubliean majorities in New Ilampwidely separated as California and Conpirc anl ermont, ami redeems ctatcs necticut lrom JiaOicrU rule; 1 he fame local cause, if it exist', will operate in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York. New Jersey, and in fact all the States where elections are to bo hold this year. The pulse of the people of the United States has been felt by these elections. It is beating strongly under the inspiration of Democratic strength. Let ail Democrats rejoice at the improved appearance o( affairs, and go to work with renewed spirit :ifrd vigor in the good cause.

The following anecdote of Webster ancf Jefferson is related on good authority: Mr. Webster, standing with Mr. Jeficrson on hi-? beautiful portico, overlooking the valleys of the Piue l'idgc, said to hi friend: "M r. Jefferson, what is to be the hope of this country?" That earnest thiukc and rtatesrnan pondered for a little. a:;d thi n v-;.i, '-Mr Webstpr if this country is ever saved, it. is going to be bv training the children fur Jesus Christ and h'3 ?ddd with remarkable foresight, "the Sabbath-school, Mr. Webster, is going to hs tue of the grand agencies iu this .salvation." Deeply impressed with the truth of this remark of one of our couutry's sages, we j feel that every effort shou.d be made to promote the Sabbath-school work. To this end the frieuds of the cause, ar.d" especially the ofüeers and teachers of the various Sabbath schools iu Marshall county, and the ministers of the various denominations, are invited and requested to meet in Convention in Plymouth, on Monday, September oOth, ISO", and continue in session through Tuesday evening, October 1st. 1 he Convention will organize at 2 o'clock ou Monday afternoon, and in the evening an address will bs delivered hy gentlemen from abroad. The remaining day and evening will be occupied in the discussion of important topics connected with the Sabbath-schooi work. Some of the ablest Sabbath-school workers and speakers of Chicago are pledged to be present. Those who attended the Convention of last year felt richly paid, and we have reason to expect still better things this year. One important object af the Convention will be to organize a County 3. S. Union by which the work can be stimulated and advanced in all pfirta of the count). A thorough report of the condition and wants of the county in this respect will be presented by 31 r. Harper, who has labored iu the visitation and organization of ?ab-bath-schools during the past summer. Let every worker iu this cause, whether minister or layman, man or woman, come up to this Convention. We trust uo ordinary difficulty will prevent their attondmce. W'e shall expect them to be present the aoeniug and continue to ihe dose. Above all we tiu.st that every one will come with a heart full of earnest desire for the outpouring of the Holy Ghost, that, baptized with heavenly llame, the work may be renewed and enlarged as never before, until the waste places about us be made to rejoice in the established means of grace. The names of the speakers, a programme of cxeacises, and the place of meeting will be published soon. We have no doubt but the good people of Plymouth will freely furnish entertainment for all who come from a distance to attend the Convention. KXKCUT1VK COMMITTEE.
