Mr. Scott, l iienator of Pennsylvania, made a speech lulhe Unitedi resolution, Se nate on kleuaterShermnn's 4solution, Which we wisp every voter,,,lrrospect iyu of party, would relud and ponder.— We wish vio might 7/hat speech be- Wre our readers, but ace forbids. It is au exhaustive resume of the question that is NOW - ve4ing Congress, and en gaging the attention of our best men. The scathing, damaging charges made iu the speeelh will of bii answered, be ctualithere is no answer but' punish ment to ciikme adequatelY'proVed; and the Kuklux seem to be 'bey on d the reach of timid-L(oi the present, at least. But the country will hardly forget those representatives of the.popular will who stand up to their, work, honestly and fearlessly. Read the speech. BUTLER FLANKED, Mr. Butler was understood to have an amnesty bill which he was intend ing to introduce on Monday, the 10th, at ono o'clock% Bu j t. when the time came, Mr. Butler was in a committee rooM, givink the ilnishing, touches to his hill ; and while he was thus enga ged, Mr. Hale, of Maine, slipped in his bill, and it was passed, under a suspen sion Of the rules, by a heavy nlority I —to Mr. Butler's astonishment, not to say dlagust. Mr. Halo's bill (which passed by a vote of 144 to 96) removes the 4( disabili ities of all disqualified persons; " ex cepting only officers of the army'and navy who, teitig above twenty-one years of age, left their, posts ; members of Congress wh,cesigned to join the rebellion ; and 'members of secession SW° Conventions, who voted for seces sion ordinances." IVie suppose it is all right : but if the WI is ever to become a law, we would like to see the exceptions extended to every memberpf a Kuklux Klan. If there areto. kithlux , it could'ut hurt anybody ; and If there are, it would be only just. k TIIP. CONING CAMPAIGN. An through the country we notice a - general dik)osition to agitate the (Dea ne!) of th.nextPresidency. We think t early to! begin ; but, as our contempo --'. raries on both sides are disposed to start the game, we don't mind taking a hand in. • First and foremost in this game, we wish our readers to remember that, whatever shape politics may take, the Agile or will advoellte the same princi pies that were advocated by the framers of the Declaration of Independence; that were upheld by Jefferson, by Pat rick Henry and Franklin; by the best and wisest of our land, who pledged their " live , fortunes mid sacred, lion-, Or" to uitho d the same. Their corner stone alashe - declaration that " all men are bor and created free and equal, with eertai Inalienable rights, among whieb are l fe, liberty and the pursuit of happine ' It is very old—for such a . young nation : but it is democratic.— We wiph one Democrat (modern) in all the land could be brought to see and act au it. If the Democratic party is dem ocratic, then men me pot born free and equal—men have pot a right to " lib erty and the pursuit of happiness." We are on the eve of the most bitter Presidential campaign this country has ever Witnessed; one that sill try weak knees and shaky spines to some extent, and teat pretty bhoroughly the real de mocracy of the republic. And now, to begin with, who are Democrats ? And.what is Democracy ? Let us gobi the card. If language means anything, let us take the accep ted moaning of , the English terms "Democrat" and "Democracy." We believe Mr. Webster (Noah) is accepted authority for the language, Ml' spoken by all who will have anything to do with the hex Preddential election—in a voting capacity, at least. 'We 4tiote from him as follows: " DEMOCRACY. Ciovern mont by the people; a form of government in which the 'supremo power is lodged In the bands -of the. people col lectively, or in which the - people ozonise the powers of legislation, &Awes theigoVentinent of Athens." ' . " DEMOCRAT. One who adheres to govern ment by the people, or favors,the extension of the • i ri g ht of suffrage to all dom. cf mern l ." : Our definition would be a trifle shor ter. We should say that " Democracy was self ,kovernment, by majority bal. Tot. A Democrat, one who ' believed in and uphold that form of government." It is all the same: and we areu Dem ocrat, in the true meaning of the word. We believe An a government of majori ties, as against a government composed of slave oligarchiste, arispocrats, or any imperial or monarchiesll mixture of thrones and parliaments. We, at least, believe in Democracy as prppounded in' the Declat•athiticf independence; and, of course, believing' thus, are opposed' to all Democracy which, denies to any man the right of avvieighlP 'to his own ts 4 filesii and WOO ii Dimiiaritey that 14- held to the last the selling of handsome Ootoroon: girls to the highest bidder, ibiti ;the , auction block; that.'N,alo43 7 , felt the : bosoms of shrinkiiioiirWitt , ' even in our natio* tai—that; whisky-soaked'dl4ol.o4f- ; ed lechers might form aZkirriit" edit:not - 6 of their value in the market. 4,goii! , We shOuld like-to-lielieve thie slavery question a " dead issue,;" but it is not.

If our Democratic friends succeed in electing their Presidential candidate in 1872,-the wise men or the East, who have' frilked much of dead issues, will find slavery, 'tinder the form of peonage; livelY,enoiigh to be interest ting. Now, we are emingh of , a Demo crat, to hold,thatpvery man is the sole and exeluskie owner of his own person, and of all the Money he can by his own labor, - . . , Also, we " favor 1r the extensio n of the right of suffrage to all classes.” Con sequently we cannot be accepted, as a, modern Democrat, such doctrine being rank heresy in that camp, whereof the " etrisilan gentlein an,'" Set ' Davis,' was once an idolised leader, and with which li. E. Lee is in full communion at this day. We do not know who is even likely ty get the Democratic nomination : no body knows. ,Itis it hard slate to, make up ; but when it fsroade up, the entire Democratic force can be relied on to go it solid ; the Democrats of Maine and Connecticut, of Vermont and N ew Hampshire, ,being just as reliable as the Kuklux of Dixipand the' repeaters of our large cities North. And just here we want to'say that in the next Presi dential election 'the Kuklux Klan is to I be the right bower of the Democratic party. Without the South, no Demo cratic candidate can he elected; and without these bands of rebel despera does, the South cannot be carried for that party. ,„ We wish every Republican would take the trouble carefully to peruse thO report from the Select Committee of the Senate to investigate outrages in the Southern States, wherein .'fiti" cases of whipping and shooting are proved against the Kuklux in the counties of Lincoln, Alamance a n d Catawba.— Thirty of the victims were white, and seven were white women. None of the women were shot—only stripped and flogged. The committee report- that it is impossible to get testimony in very many cases, owing to the danger in, giving evidence against the Kukiux. / After giving a list of ontragee In some 12 counties, the committee add ( : , -If-Besides these specific Cans of Outrages, the testimony refers In general terms to others com mitted in Moore, Chatham, Person a Buncombe, Samp son, lki7 .:en D oir avio a , n lit o oke t e, Gaston coun tie s . " This list of erttnett suggests tho question whether they were °Omitted by members of the - Kuklux organization and by its dirootion or with its countenance. The tostimonY already quoted and referred -to, showy that in many,instan( :, es the murders and whippings of •men were oxpro s ly voted upon in their meetings, and executed y the members." Now, we do not purpose to "r In lashed" with any suck ,crowd as w swell the Democratic , vote South sr President. We do not like them, so cially or. politically.. We do not want .their votes, and we do not want them to vote at all.. They have no right to the ballot box. Convicted traitors; who deserved no mercy, and expected none; whO'would have shown none bad .they' won in the fearful game that makes ev ery second Northern home' :a house of mourning to-day. It was a mistaken policy that held out the olive branch before anybodyasked for it; that has tened to boost traitors into a position where they could assist (!) in adminis terig a free government for which they \ bad imbibed a life-long hatred with their mothers'-milk. It is a mis taken policy that to-day favors general amnesty. It may be" a pity that it is tree; it is a pity 'that there should be' so much wrong•doing iti` t ilie`world ;; it is a double pity that the wrong Should be so strong, defiant and self-reliant as it is. Pity that well dressed;'respecta-) ble citizens should be afraid to go tOthel polls, where, a emu , of blood-ták ruf flans are making it 4earful ,for timid men. Pity, that an election should ever be carried by .tei-r or isnz in New York,. Baltimore, or ,Philedelphia. But elec tions are carried- in all those cities by just such means; and timid respeeta, Witty, coming in sight of the polls, and seeing a furious "muss" going on, gets white about the lips, and shies, off to a aide *,street 7 thertee home,--declaring that no man can , kebp' Upa decent ; feel ing of self Irriapeet,rand yet attend our, eleetions—estheY are conducted.

Campbell, and Leib, first heard of it through the Columns oir the Agitator. They . were as ignorant of the movement as was the editor of the Agitator: higuself:, not having the remotest idea that finch A thing was con-, templated. ' • • Again, it is a mistike thtt the Com pany, has " vainly tried t induce the Commissioners to ranee their taxes;' ) , and the person who gave this informa tion, must . ' hive hid but little know-, tedge,of ttiesubject. The ComMisskon era' piprk has 'occupied his prOEseikt sition fer about ten Years, and he cheerfully bear witness that the :Cord= pany, through theiragents,`Mesers. E. B. Campbell and G. D. Leib, have wit lingly and ptomptii paid every assess went that has been' made upon their, lands.. During all this tinie, covering the ten years during which unprodue; tive hinds were burdened With the im Meuse bounty and local taxation, there has never been a time when there was any sort of trouble between them and the County Commissioners ; and they have 'never asked an abatement that wad not-coriceded to be just. They :have never asked anything for them, selves, by way of exemption from the burdens of ta*atiol4 'that 'was not an corded,to their neighbors.; • • ~ i , 'ln speaking 'of non-resident land owners, you say, " And the largest land company refuse to sell at alt." If this paragraph refers to Messrs. D'o d el, lazoei - & Stoke's, it is error: Since they becathe ' the owners of their present lands, they have 'sold a large number of Iota; 'Many more are now Under eon tract, Upon which payments have been 'Made,' and many lots have been paid Ai,' for which no deeds have yet been :even, for the reason that since the 'delith of Mr. Anson G. Phelps, Jr., up s• traii.......-mi - verrrtrw-montnr past, - tine title 'hail not 'been in proper shape to •Mitke ':Coriveyances. The proper con veyances have been made, and deeds will soon be given to ail persons who hold paid up contracts. They do in. tend to sell their lands not covered with ping timber, in lots suitable for farming +lll purposes, and that at an early day. Again, you say, "And even ask the Bounty to build an expensive road fOr their use." I suppose you have refer once to the " Marsh creek road," about which so much has been said of !Meet The Company were not' the authors of this " road" project. They never ask ed for the legislation., by petition or oth erwise, either by themselves - or their agents. It is true they . have. rib. objeC tiet, (011ie roads Its' donstruetion•wo'ii open an undeveloped portion of coun . try, and enable them to place the very lands in market, and within reach of the settler, that they are accused of "re fusing to sell." 'During' the last 26 years, they have paid. thousands of doi hire of road taxes; and during a great portion of that time there has not been a decent road from the county seat to their Place of business at the Big Mea dOws. The money that they pay 'is used to build roads in the settled poi , 'Koos of the different townships, or to pay the debts, of the, .same; and the amount used to build.or improveroads across their lands, has been. next to no thing 'as witness the condition, for the last' ten years, of; the road from the Pimlico) farm, by way of.
