She waited in the drawing room
Good Sirs. Mabel Moore;
Six flounces of a pretty lace
Were on the dress she wore;
Upon her bosom a French rose.
And on her cap some satin bows.
r-pno little iefot just peeped •without
Her petticoat so white;
Her hair, a lltllo gray ’tls true,
Was put In curl, and bright;
i And sweet her glances shone around,
As if some good thing she had found.
The clock was on the stroke of eight.
And still she sat alone,
Now listening close, and laying now
One hand upon her heart;
And toying with her curls and rings,
And doing many girlish thftigs.
At length a slop was heard, and then
A ringing at the door;
u Five minutes and a half too soon,”
Said Mrs. Mablo Moox’c,
Then to her maid—“lt is no sin,
Go quick and say I am not in.
“ For if ho loves mo us hu says, •
He can afl'orcl to wall;
Ami come again precisely nt
live minutes after eight,
My nerves are quite unstrung,
60 very earnestly ho rung.”
But true love never did run smooth,
As oltcn times Is told,
And when tho door was open wide,
And shivering In tho cold,
The maid beheld tho expected guest,
She smiled and courtsled her best.
And told him with a grace ns sweet,
As.if sho craved a boon,
Her mistress had declared it was
A little bit too soon;
And sho thoughtit was no sin
To send him word sho was notin.
Aye, very well,” tho guest replied
“ In truth I make no doubt,
That whether she be in or no,
I’vo surely found her out

BRAVE KATE.
A TALE OF THE REVOLUTION,
Tho year 1781 was a dark and gloomy
one for our forefathers, who were then
struggling for liberty. In South Caroli
na affairs were then in a critical situa
tion General Greene made an unsuc
cessful attack on the British post at Nine
ty-six, and withdrew his men beyond
the Tiger and Broad Rivers. Lord Raw
don followed him, but could not draw
the patriotic general into an engagement.
At that period there stood in South
Carolina a plain and unassuming house;
it was a one-story building, neatly white
washed, and surrounded by a fence.—
The garden contained many choice flow
ers, and the beautiful honeysuckles sha
ded the doors and windows. It was the
house of Mrs. Heath, who lived with her
duughteis, while her son George was in
Washington's army fighting for free
dom, *
Kate, the eldest of the daughters, was
a beautiful girl of sixteen summers ; her
auburn hair hung in graceful curls down
her shoulders, and her face beamed with
kindness, while her eyes shone like the
stars.
Ouo evening, as Kate was standing at
the cottage-door, she beheld two mount
ed officers approaching. They were rich
ly dressed, and one of them she recogniz
ed as Lord Rawdon, the commander of
the British forces in that section of tho
country. They rode up to her, and Raw
don leaned over in his saddle and ad
dressed Her in a kind voice:
“Weil miss can you let me have the
use of a room for a few minutes?”
“ Ye>-| air,bur house is open to you?”
“ Com-* Colonel let’s hurry up busi
ness,” said Rawdon, dismounting,
while (he Colonel did the same,the latter
leading the horses to the stable.
Lord Rawdon advanced to where Kate
was standing, and said:
“ Whoso house Is this, miss ?”
“ Mrs. Heath’s sir.”
“ Hal her son is in tho rebel army, un
der Washington, is he not?”
Kate trembled at the insult, and she
looked at the Briton with a searching
glance.
“My brother is no rebel; he is fight
ing for his country.”
“I am sorry, for that; he is a brave
boy, and would no doubt make a good
British soldier.” returned Rawdon.
“ Lord Rawdon, you insult me, sir. I
would rather see him die a felon’s death
than see him in the King’s army,” was
the heroic nnswer.
«*!•.. m»i .r rebel too, Miss Heath.
Butt it. - ilae Colonel,” said Raw
don, as>.' that worthy coming from
the stable.
They entered tho house and went into
a small room to hold a consultation. —
Kate thought that they might havo
something important to say, so she con
cluded to play the part of eavesdropper.
She told her mother of her Intentions,
who approved of it, and Kate plated her
self in a position to hear the Briton’s
plans.
It was a dangerous undertaking, and
io knew that if she was caught In the
in- 1 of listening she would be treated as a
ci>y, and perhaps executed, for Lord
Rawdon knew no mercy.
She cautiously approached the door
and looked through a crevice. Rawdon
and his Colonel were seated at a small
table on which lay their maps. They
were examining them closely, while
Rawdon was explaining them to the Col
onel. * •
M Here is Green’s camp,” said he,
“and here la ours. We must make a
bold strike, and if It be successful Green
will be destroyed.”
“ I don’t see why it should not suc
ceed, do you my lord ?”
. “ No; if our troops fight as well as they
have heretofore, we shall succeed,” said
Rawdon, his face assuming a triumph
ant expression.
“I shall feel happy when these cursed
rebels are driven away from Carolina,
and then their rule will be over,”.said
Colonel Robert.
“ W© must crush Greene, Colonel ;I do
not wish to go back to England and let it
be said that I was out-generaled by a
rebel. No, never I” exclaimed Rawdon
rising to his feet.
“ Then we make the attack at day
break, do we not?” asked the Colonel.
“We do; have your.regiment ready,
and make your men fight like demons.’*
“ Let ua go now. But hold! what is
the countersign for the pickets to-night,
my Lord?”
“England,” answered Lord Bawdon
lowering bis voice.
■ Kate listened to the Briton’s plans
with a throbbing heart, and she resolved
to save the patriot army. When sho
beard the countersign-she left the floor
and busied herself with her household
duties, and soon the two ofilcers emerged
from the room..
“ We must go,- Miss Heath, but first
let me thank you for your kindness,”
said Lord Bawdon. -
“ Your,thanks are received,” answered
Kate.
The horses were saddled and the offi
cers were soon, on their way. Kato
watched them till they were out of sight,
and then prepared for her perilous jour
ney. She threw a shawl over her shoul
ders audwent-to the stable. Her fleet
footed horse neighed as she entered, and
she pated him on the head and said:
. “ Well, noble Selim,- you must carry
me safely through to-night, for, if you do
not, Green will he destroyed.”
Our heroine saddled Selim, led him
from the stable, and was soon riding to
wards Greene’s camp which was eight
CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 27,1868,
miles distant, tiho rode swiftlyvalio
wanted to reach her destination lifetime
to let the patriot general form his men
to meet the assault.
The British pickets weto four miles
distant, and she would be obliged to pass
through their lines; but as she was now
in possession of the countersign she did
not fear the result.
Soon Kate saw the picket’s bayonet
gleam In the moonlight and heard him
cry out:
“ Who goes there?”
“ A friend with the countersign.’?
She approached the picket, and
whispered :
“ England.”
“ All right; pass on. Butstop!” cried
the picket, as lie caught a glimpse of her
face.
Kate stopped her horse and-laid her
band on her pistol. The picket approach
ed and said:
“ Is that you. Miss Heath ?”
“ It is, Guy,” returned Kate, for she
recognized the soldier to be Guy Jackson,
who had often visited their house.
“ Where are you going to-night, Miss
Kate?” lie asked.
“ I am going to see Mrs. Blake; she is
very sick.”
“Just like you, Miss Kate—always vis
iting tbo, sick ; you are a ministering an
gel,” said tbe haughty Briton.
“ Thank you for the comi-liment, Guy.
But X must be going—good night.” And
Kate was again on her journey, while the
picket returned to his post.
She hud to pass four miles ere she would
be safe, so she urged on her steed. ‘Before
she had gone a hundred yards from Guy
Jackson, a dozen .mounted Britons rode
furiously up to the picket, and their lead
er cried out:
“ Did any person pass this post a short
time 811100?”
“Yes,” was the picket’s reply.
“Do yon know who it was?”
“ I do, it was Miss Heath.”
“ Had she the countersign, sir?”
“She had.”
“ I fear she is safe. Forward men ! If
she escapes, Greene is saved. A hundred
golden guineas and a commission to the
man that catches her,” cried the leader
of the band, as they dashed after the
brave girl, leaving the picket in a state
of bewilderment.
Kate soon beard the sound of her pur
suers, and she pushed on faster. It
was a race for life or death. The Brit
ish horses were fresh, while hor’s was be* 1
ginning to show signs of fatigue.
“Forward, Selim j you must take me
to Green’s camp,” said Kato to her noble
horse.
. But her enemies gained on her, And one
of them seemed bent on catching her, for
he was some yards in advance of his com
rades.
Kate heard the ominous tramp of his
horse aud drew her pistol. Ni ar no came
until lie was at her side, and then cried
out:
“ Halt, you cursed rebel!”
These were bis last words, for bravo
Kate fired, aud the bullet crushed through
his brain.
The others did not stop to look at their
dead comrade but pressed pn. They near
ed her again, and another trooper receiv
ed his death wound.
The remainder of them halted, and a
moment after Kate heard the American
picket cry out—
“ Who goes there?”
“Kate Heath,” cried our heroine, as
she dashed through the Hue.
The soldierhad raised hisgun, but when
he heard the name, it was lowered, and
he answered—
“All right!” •
The American camp was reached; Kate
threw herself from the saddle, aud placed
lier raltliful uml noble Dorse In charge or
a soldier. ,
“ Where is Green’s tent?”
“To the right there, where you see that
light,” replied the man pointing to the
place.
She entered the General’s tent, and
found him engaged in writing ; he raised
his eyes, then rose to bis feet and said :
“ You come hero at a late hour, Miss
Heath 1”
“ I do, General, you are in very great
danger.”
“ How is that?” exclaimed the excited
General.
Tho brave girl told her story, and the
patriotic General grasped her hand, while
tho tears trickled down his careworn
cheeks.
“Thank God! you have saved my ar
ray, I can never repay you.”
“ I want no payment. Tho thought
that I had done my duty; and the thanks
of Nathaniel Greene, are' worth more
than gold and diamonds,” was the heroic
reply. *
“Take my thanks my bravo girl, and
tho great Jehovah watch, over you and
guide you through tho changing scenes
of life,” responded Greene.
“And may Ho save my country too,”
added Kate.
“ You need rest. Here, Miss Kate,
sleep in my tent to-night, while I seek a
resting place among my men,” said tho
kind-hearted General.
“I do'not wish to rob you of your
couch, General.”
“ You will not. I shall bo engaged in
forming my troops for the attackaud
General Greene left the tent.
Kate enjoyed a good rest that night,
and in the morning General Greene came
to her, and joyfully exclaimed :
*• Good news! Lord Rawdon Is in full
retreat!”
“Wo took a prisoner tills morning, who
says you frustrated their plans aud saved
the army. God bless you for the good
act. Bui I must leave you now, tor lam
going to follow Rawdon, and teach him
that we can fight.” ,
“When are you going home, Miss
Heath?”
“ In a few minutes.”
“ Good-bye; and may you have a safe
journey,” responded the General, shaking
her by the hand.
Her horse was led forth, and she started
on her way homp, which was reached in
safety.
Kate Heath lived to see the war closed
and peace and plenty spread their wings
over the hind; and not.long alter she
was wedded to Walter Gordon, who hud
been a Colonel in the American array.
Confidence. —“ You say you have con
fidence in Cookem the plaintiff, Mr.
Smith ?”
“ Yes, sir.’’
“ State to the court, if you please, what
caused this feeling of confidence.”
“ Why, you see, air, there’s alters re
ports about eatin-house moo, and I
kinder used to think ”
“ s?ever mind what you thought—tell
us what you know.”
“ Well air, one day I went down to

Every Black Republican chiffonier who
can swing a pen aud cun command a few
types, la engaged just now in writing a
biography of Hiram-Ulysses-Simpson-
Sammy-Grant. They.thhk. if he is
elected President, these biographies will
be their title to an office. The one that
contains most lies is that which is sup
posed to have been perpetrated by “Vuga
.bond” Budeati (formerly a habitue of
Grub street), and superintended by Grant
himself. The one that lias been author
ized by the Radical Executive Committee
as tbo most “adapted to general circula
tion,” purports to have been prepared by
“Deacon Dye.” Wo don’t know who
Deacon Dye is, but from the mixture of
idiotic silliness and juvenile oqdeavors to
make something outof nothing, which la
its chief characteristic, we should not be
surprised It the Deacon turned out to be
Grant’** father—old Jesse—if not Grant
(Hiram Simpson) himself.
Young Ulysses was always remarkably fond of
horses, aud frequently, for a boy, so young, dis
played great skill In managing that noble animal.
According to this, then, we must go to
the stable .for our President. Hereafter
only a horse jockey cun expect to get a
nomination from the “ trooly loil.” The
next Radical Nominating Convention
ought not to be held at Chicago, but at
Jerome Park. A circus rider will stand
A No. 1.
His father being a close observer discovered
nls strong points, and seeing tbo bow of promise
encircling bis youthful brow, determined to pro
cure n West Point military education for ids sou.
There the old man put hla foot into it.
Hiram’s strong points do not run in the
way of intellect. He is not troubled
with a superabundance of brains, as wit
ness the fact that ho graduated number
twenty-one in his class! “The bow of
promise” was m>t realized.
Fulling to make ins murk in the army,
we read next:
July Slat, 1854. ho resigned Ills commission In
the service, and took up his residence with his
father-in-law near St, Louis; n portion of his
time was here employed os a collector and real
estate agent, and dealer In wood.
Hiram hadn’t brains nor industry
enough, it would seem from this, to get
an honest living of his own, and so he
had to fall back oh the generosity of his
father-in-law, .who set him to work saw
ing wood and shinning around collecting
bad debts.
General Grant occupied a little farm to tho
southwest of St, Louis, whence he was In tho
habit of culling tho wood and drawing It to .Car
ondolet, aiidsolilng it In tho markotthero.
Incapacity, incompetency aud igno
rance are always sure, like water, to find
their level. The West Point “education”
and the “bowof promise,” after all were
but jewels in tho pig’s snout. Nature cut
Hiram out for a mere clodhopper, o.r a
clown, and all the art of man, it is clear,
cun make him nothing.else.
Tho boy had an uu usual dogreo of self reliance,
and every whore, by commouconseut, was looked
up to among his playmates as leader.
A “ leader” in what? Rubbing down
horses, cleaning out stables, or playing
mountebank or clown, with the horse as
an accessory? A wondering people are
dying to know in what way that marvel
lous “ self reliance” was demonstrated.
Bully Bottom, the weaver, imagined him
self an uss. thought he dwelt in a stable,
and craven for a peck of oats. “ Butch
er” Grant from tho beginning would seem
to have developed traits and tendencies
akin to Bottom’s.'
Many of his wood purchasers arc now calling to
mind that they hud a cord of wood delivered in
person by tho great General Grant.
The grate General Grant is undoubted
ly meant. If those “ wood purchasers”
will call on him after next November,
they will find Hiram out of the grate,
aud lying in the ashes of disappointment..
When ho came Into the wood market ho was
usually dressed in an old fell hat, jvlth a blouse*
coat and his pants tucked In the tops of his bools.
In trmb he bore tho appearance of a sturdy,
honest woodsman. Thin was his winter’s work.
In summerhe turneda collector of debts; bailor
this ho was not qualified.
A man who hasn’t bruins enough to
collect a common debt is a nice sort of
person to take charge of the affairs of a
great nation 1
He always repaid borrowed money. Ills habits
of life wdro hardy, Inexpensive and simple.
That doesn’t accord with tho testimony
of Tilton of the Independent, who nol
long since said,, “ He is occasionally seen
in the streets of Washington fuddled:
but os this happens only on a Sunday”
(ho added), “it cannot bo said to inter
fere with public business, and does not
strikingly challenge public attention.”
Wendell Phillips says be spends one half
of his salary In buying cigars, and the
other half in horse-racing; aud Wendell
ought to know.
Falling in the wood sawing and debt
collecting business, be next turned his
attention to leather. Hiram had rend
somewhere that “ there is nothing like
leather.”-
He now, In 185!), removed to Galena, Illinois,
wherobis father. Jeaso R. Grant, then a man of
sixty-ftvo years of age, was engaged In the leath
er trade. Ulysses became partner in the business
with hla lather.
Tho father, however was as unable to
get the “ bow of promise” for Hirum out
of the tannery vats as he was to extract
It from a West Point military education.
Ho proved as poor a stick in tbo hide and
leatnerlineashe had previously proved
in wood chopping and rent-collecting.
Hobbling along thus from hand to
mouth, tho war broke out. when Hiram
went in with the rest of toe “cankers of
along peace and a calm world.”.
Human butchers were in demand by
old Abe. and Grant at length found his
true posltlon as a Journeyman. Murderer.
To day be could ewim in tho blood of the
fathers and sous and brothers whom he
was instrumental in bringing to the
slaughter-houses of Virginia.
There Is a time commg when the real
history of this Man of Blood will be writ
ten in Us true colors. Meanwhile the
puerile attempts of his parasites to make
him appear what ho is not will fail of
their object if the people will but be true
to themselves and faithful to their coun
try.
In that case, Mr. Hiram Simpson, or
Sammy Grant, will have to look for bis
“bow of promise,” not in the White
House at Washington, but in the dark
waters of oblivion.
THINK OF IT—WHO IN DOING T UK
smiiiNo. /
Overllfteen hundred millions of doll
ars have been collected In the form of
taxes since the close of the war!
Think ofitl
Just one-half of the national debt I
But Is the debt any less ?
~ No!—a thousand times no I
While Thad the obscene and beastly
old raiscegenist Is ranting and canting,
and raving and staving about the man
ami the brother, fifteen hundred millions
have been taken from the jyockefs of the
farmers,.the mechanics and laborers of
the North !
They were told by the Radical patriots
and thieves apu bummers that the close
of the war would see u restated Union,
witli peace, prosperity and happiness.—.
Well, the war has ended, the South has
laid down its arms, but Radical hostili
ties have not ceased. Tho light still goes
on against eight millions of white men,
women and children, and It costa the
country just five hundred millions a year
—that’s the price.
What has become of these fifteen hun
dred millions? Whore have they gone
to?
How is it that tho debt is ,as huge to-,
day nu ever?
'How is it that although one-half iho
amount of the whole “ national blcssin //”
has been raised from tho heat and toil of
the people, the burden is as heavy, as op
pressive, crushing now as ever?
Fellow-citizens of the North, East and
West, these are questions for you to an
swer, Don’t allow yourselves to be hood
winked. Don’t let dust be thrown in
your eyes by the conspirators and politi
cal blacklegs who are now stealing away
your rights, while they are pocketing
your hard earnings.
Are you not satisfied now that their
professions of patriotism are all a sham—
a rnockoiy, a delusion, aud a snare.—
When they ask you for your votes next-
November, demand of them, in the.thun
der tones of an outraged and deeply
wronged people, what have they done
with the Jijtccn hundred millions of doll
ars taken out of your pockets, yes , taken
out of the mouths and off the backs of your
wives and children during the past three
years.
Ask them tho reason, why the South,
now that the negroes nr© free, produces
only one-half wlmt it formerly raised.
Ask them tho meaning of that big
poorhouse system, the* Freedmeu’s Bu
reau, If the negroes are, as they say, at
work.
They told you that four millions of
emancipated negroes would increase the
products of too South, that they would
wear better clothes and be more valuable
customers of the North.
You have to pay for their support now.
The fifteen hundred millions of dollars
have been expended for tho maintenance
of a grand system of pauperism, black
pauperism, and we tell you that hun
dreds of millions of it have gone into tho
pockets of the professional loyalists, the
patriotic shoddycrats aud the purse proud
bondocracy.
Think of it! Fifteen Hundred Mill
ions paid in taxes during the last three
years , and the “Blessing” still as huge,
as grinding, os crushing as ever.
WAR—UPON OUR POCKETS.
Most people believed, and everybody
said, that the object of the late civil war
was to restore the Union. To restore it,
to restore tho old state of feeling that
made a real union possible, was what
everybody wanted, or pretended to want.
But at the actual close of the war the
Radicals changed their tune. The old
spirit that produced tho war was the
rtplilttlmt it suited them to rosier. Se
cession was produced by an apprehen
sion in the Southern mind that the Rad
icals, coming into power, would ally
themselves with the negro, to subjugate
the white people of the Southern States.
The John Brown attempt, in 1859, to set
up a negro “provisional government"
in Virginia, received such-approbation at
the North, that the project of secession,
once the crotchet of a few, suddenly took
the air of a measure of or general self-de
fense, and safety; It proved illusory;
the conflict It provoked gave the. Rad
icals *the chance to color their objects
with a show of patriotism. They thus
gained the aadendency at the North, aud
ar© now currying out their original
scheme in utter defiance of tho better
sentiment of tbo whole country. They
always dissimulate their real intentions
about election time, and put them in
execution as soon as it is over. In 1806,
when the present Congress was chosen,
the negro suffrage scheme was denied
with the most unblushing effrontery—
and afterwards, it was as cooly put in
force as if it had been actually approved
by the people. Yet, in no male, in no
election, has it ever been approved. It
is the result of Radical force and fraud,
and has never hud any other support or
basis. How then does this party still
hope to keep itself in power; what is its
hold on the public mind? It Is in fos
tering tho spirit that brought on tho
war; In fomenting angry passions; in
keeping up by every art the alienation
between the sections of tho country; that
is now tho whole slock in trade of the
Radical party. One Radical newspaper
writes, and all the restcopy such stufi-as
this, which we take from the Press of.
.this city:
“The Harrisburg State Guard, an
nounces that if the commissioners ap
pointed by the different loyal States,
which met at Sharpsburg on Wednesday
for the purpose of discussing various mat
ters relating to the Soldiers’ National
Ceraetry at Antietam, should decide to
insult the memory of the loyal dead in
burying rebels by their slue, General
Negley the commissioner of Pennsylva
nia, will recommend to tbo Legislature
of that State, through Governor Geary,
the justice of removing the bones of all
the Pennsylvanians hurled at Antietam
to the battle-field of Gettysburg.”
If such sentiments had been expres ed
in a Southern paper, how greedily would
they baited as proof of on unappeasable
hostility, surviving'the grave itself. —
Yet these very men, who would insult
the .ashes of the dead, strike hands with
every living rebel, who will vote their
party ticket. For this sole merit, they
amnesty a whole batch of Southern men,,
many of them officers of tho Confederate
array. General Longstreot may now eut
with them, drink with them, sleep with
them—even in the same graveyard;
while they affect a holy horror of every
one of its comrades who votes a conser
vative ticket. The Press, of Saturday,
had a column of denunciation of men in
no wise worse than General Longstreot,
save by the Radical test. Their peucu
liar guilt is in going as delegates to the
New York Convention. Aud why
should not Southern men now go to con
ventions, or sleep in their graves, unmo
lested ? How long do these Radicals ex
pcct to keep up thisoue-sided war? Ifto
them, Grant had said “let us have
peace,” there would have been some
sense in his utterance. Buit be echoed
their phrase, in their interest, when he
hoisted their colors. They, make him
nay that, in spite of all his victories, there
is yet uo peace, because they want an
excuse for standing armies, despo ism,
and the expenditure that drains tho
packet of every Northern tax-payer. Dr.
Franklin told a story, how. when a boy,
“be paid too dear for his whistle." This
luxury of hate, which the Radicals serve
up to us, is a “ whittle” for which the
American people are paying too dear. Is
It not time for us, now, to remember
that lesson taught by Divine wisdom,
“blessed are the peace-makers?” It
will advance even our, worldly interests.
Three years ago the conflict of arms end
ed; and it succeeded the kind of war In
which a hold of Radical plunderers find
their profit. It is a war upon our pock
ets. When will they let us have peace?
Never, if they can uelp it. With their
military candidate, they hope to put our
govenment on a permanent war -footing
—in which .whites and blacks will find
a common level, os >Jects of a military
1 despotism,.managed by Radicals.— Age.

Serenade and Speecb at St. Joseph.
Brave Words of a Brave Man
When Grant and Sherman reached St*
Joseph, Mo., on their return, they were
received at a public meeting. Sherman
made a speech, during which there were
frequelit cheers for Seymour and Blair.
This annoyed Sherman so much that he
suddenly broke of!* his speech, culled the
crowd a lot of “ follows,V and intimated
that somo of them ought to get a ducking
in the river. Gen. BlairwaaatSt. Joseph
a few nights afterwards, and being sere
naded and called upon for a speech ho
made the following characteristic re
marks;
GENERAL HLAIR’S SPEECH.
. Gentlemen of St. Joseph; In addres
sing tho large and enthusiastic audience
before me I shall not insult you by call
ing you “ fellows,” or by advising you to
throw a man in the river who happened
to differ in opinion regarding the senti
ments expressed, as I understand has
been done by a distinguished military
gcmtloman in this place upon a recent
occasion. I believe this to be a free coun
try, and that the people will treat those
with respect who respect f)ie people. Our
objection to the principles of our adver
saries in this great political campaign is
that they assume too dictatorial a tone
towards tlfb people. They denounce me
as a revolutionist—say that I wish to in
augurate another rebellion—because I any
that it is time for the rule of th&bayonet
lo be checked. (Great applause.) The
people of the State of Missouri and the
people of the whole country, aye tired of
neing bound to obey the dictates of their
military commanders. Wo believe it is
time for the will of the people to be car
ried out. This will bo done. [A voice—
“ We’ll fix that in November.*'] Yes,
we will settle that in November, and we
will doit peacefully by the ballot. The
people are now fully aroused and none of
these men will dare to defy the will of
the people. Those who attempt it will
come to grief, and it is time they should
come to grief. Unless checked they will
goon until they will establish negro suf
frage over this State and the Northern
States, as they already have In ten States
of this Union. They will extend a mlli
taVy despotism over oil tin? States, and ne
gro supremacy, as far as the people will'
allow it. This fragmentary Congress,
and the carpet-baggers that have got in
to the Senate under the auspices of this
Rump, have already attempted to degrade
th white men of all the Suites to a con
diton of Inferiority to the negro. This
is the main issue. Jhe people have deci
ded in all these States where they have
enjoyed the privilege of a free vote, that
this thing connot he ; and I tell you that
the will of the people shall be carried out
in spite of the designs of these ambitious
men who have trampled the Constitution
under their feet, and a Republican fo/m
of Governraentshali be guaranteed to the
people of the Southern as well as the
Northern States. But we are told that
even if the Democratic party elect their
Pr *sldont, and a majority of the House
of Representatives, that these carpet-bag
gers, who assume to constitute a majority
of the Senate, will defeat legislation, and
will impose this ignorant and semi-bar
barous race of negroes upon the country
as the superior of the white man. Let
them dare to do it, and they will find
that more than one million majority
of the voters who are opposed to this
scheme will make It impossible for them
to perpetrate such an atrocious outrage -
upon American eitlzoua. The people
have risen in their might everywhere
from Maine to California, and have, by
their votes, said they will not have this
negro supremacy kept up in this country.
They will not be shaken in their purpose
to turn aside the bayonet that is still
kept pointed at the throats of the white
men of the South. Neither will the Rad
ical party, in its hopeless minority, be
able to defeat the will of the people. I
feel an abiding confidence in the success
of the Democratic party to-duy, because
it is right. Thanking you gentlemen for
your very kind and attentive audience, I
bid you farewell.
Political Phases In the Routb-Tbe Ne
gro Element.
[From thb New York Herald.
Our newly-elected fellow-citizens of
African deßcent appear to be turning the
tables nicely on the Radicals and Radi
cal carpet-baggers. At Raleigh, North
Carolina, for example, a special train of
cam from the southeastern part of the
State brought up to the Slate Democratic
Convention a club of Democratic negroes
in company number of delegates.
We bear of similar movements through
out all the South of the colored people
Hocking to the Democratic standard, and
should not be surprised to see a general
stampede from tbe Radicals and to the
Democrats in the Presidential and Con
gressional elections. AH the signs of the
times point to such a result, it is just
what we have anticipated and predicted.
The negroes begin to see that the Radi
cals have cheated them. Instead of get
ting the lands and property of the whiles
by a wholesale system of confiscation and
transfer to themselves, ns promised, the
negroes find the Radical Northern ad
venturers and carpet-baggers are only
after their labor and votes. These Radi
cals have shown the cloven foot; have
shown they care nothing about the ne
groes, and that all they wont is to use the
poor Africans to make money and get the
ofilces. What more natural, then, than
that these negroes should turn to their
old masters and listen to the friendly
voice of those among whom they were
born, and with whom their future inter
ests and welfare are indontifled!
This growing and general defection of
the negroes from the Radicals is creating
a division and a great deal of excitement
a't'ong that people. At first, as we said,
they were nearly all going with the Rad
icals ; now Democratic clubs and organi
zations are springing up all round. Of
course those who still adhere to the Rad
icals are very bitter and hostile. At. Ra
leigh they made riotous demonstrations
for the purpose of mobbing the negro
Democratic club; but their object was
defeated by the temperate andjnoderate
conductor the while people, and through
Governor Holden calling out the milita
ry. Amid all this excitement and ri
otous conduct of the Radical negroes,
the greatest enthusiasm in favor of the
Convention and the Democrats prevail
ed. To show the wisdom and modera
tion of the Democrats, both white and
black, (who, of course, were in a large
majority there at the time,) wo notice
that when a Radical Senator and carpet
bagger named Estes tore down a litho
graph picture of Seymour and Blair,
which was posted in the Yarborough
House, nobody chastised him for his con
duct, though many Democrats witnessed
It. This shows the Democrats to be a*
moderate as they are earnest. They are
bi*nt ou carrying the election, and will
not be provoked to violence by the out
rages of the Radicals.. They are deter
mined not to give the Radical press a
chance of howling at them, and calling
them Incurable rebels. Wo.call the at
tention of the Radical organs to this ad
mirable and forbearing conduct of the
Southern white people, in contrast with
that of the Radical carpet-baggers and
their deluded tools among, the poor ne
groes. This is one of the recent phases
of the* political revolution that is going
on in the South. From all appearances,
the reaction that has set In will sweep
owr-the Southern States, and the Radi
cals will find themselves next November
left out In the cold.'

Congress got hold of a tough job when
It undertook to legislate the negro into
civil and. political equality with the
Caucasian man. The Caucasian man
wont endorse any such doctrine, he
wont stultify himself by pretending to
believe it nor degrade himself by seem
ing to accept it. Ho spurns the insane
attempt of a set of Congressional fools
and fanatics to legislate him down to
the level of the negro. For the civil and
political equality of all men means that
it aims to break down the aristocracy of
race and substitute in its place the aris
tocracy of class, a bogus, spurious aris
tocracy, without any warrant Irora God
or Nature.
We are glad to see that the German
population of .Richmond has denounced
in fitting terms iheembroy enormity.—
Let other nationalities follow suit. Let
them get up moss meetings, and pass
resolutions, and place on record tneir
views upon this test question. What
people of the Old World will accept the
boon of equality with the negro so gen
erously tendered them by the Republi
cans of the New?
Will not every other European nation
ality scorn with equal indignation the
vile insult offered them by our leglsla-.
tors at Washington? Is it to be suppos
ed for a moment that people whose r««
cord Is the world's history, whose deeds
arc the themes of orator oud poet, whoso
discoveries are our inheritance, whoso
inventions our advantage, whoso
thoughts glorify our libraries, will accept
equality with African savages? Do not
these people furnish ua with ayuony
.mes for lofty virtue and enduring patri

A moment's riauoe nt the present sit
uation of the Radical party, will serve
to show the contrast between its con
dition in 1800 and 1808. Amongthe Con
spicuous inembers of the Republican con
vention of 1860 wore such men as Fran
cis P. Blair, Wm. M. Evarts,-and a host
of others, embodying the talent and re
spectability of the Convention—a major
ity of whom arc now ranked among tbo
most decided opponents of the Radicals.
In the Chicago Convention of that year,
there were four prominent candidates for
the Presidential nomination—Lincoln,
Seward, Chase and Bates. The last act
of Lincoln’s life was to originate and
adopt the policy of Johnson. Bates
abandoned tbe present ’Radical organi
zation before Llucoln died ; Seward la an
active enemy of Radicalism, and if there
is one man in the United States whom
the Radicals of to-day bate more bitterly
than Andrew Johnson, tiiat man is Sal
mon P. Chase. Then Chase, and Trum
bull, and Fessenden, and Grimes, and
Doolittle, and Dixon, and Staubury, oud
a host of other great names were in the
ranks of the Republicans. Now, -they
are either acting openly with the Democ
racy, or are read out of the Radical party
by the hot heads who control it. Nor is
this all that is noticeable. . While tbe
statesmen of the. Republican party have
abandoned Radicalism, the vicious and
treacherous elements of the Democratic
party have entered Its fold. The party
which became too corrupt for-Chase uup
Doolittle, Bates and Evarts, has.demon
strated Itsaflnity forßutler.Logan, Stan
ton and Dan Sickles: . The leaders of the
Radical-party to-day—the.men wha haye
Grant in their keeplug—wefe clarueroua
for Secession lu 1860, and' justified the
Southern States lu rCsortiu£ to arms to
repel the exercise of Federal pdwet. Now,
Butler, Logan, Suntou andean Sickles,
uro blattunt Radical demagogues, and
are .accorded the highest i positions of
honor in the party that so recently .de
spised them. Tiiey take the places once
occupied by Seward. Chase, TrutnbuU
