BATH, n. H., Jan. A, 1871.
Gentemen;-Your letter requesting my atten-
dance at Il celebration of the anniversary of the
battle of New Orleans, at Bridgewuter, on the Sth
instant, has been forwarded me from Concord to
this place. Did not other engagements forbid
would gladly avail myself of your invitation,
The occasion which You propose to celebrate,
halowed as it is, by so many endearing recoec-
tons, and associated with the name and achieve
ments of him whose fame and glory are the COM
mon property not only Of ourselves, but of the
friends of humanity throughout the world, Is one
which we SHOULD never cease to cherish and to
commemorate. 1t should serve to remind us that
we are still united around the same flag under which
we have always rallied, -contcndins for the same
principles for which we have always fought, and
animated by the same determined spirit which has
ever inspired our efforts in the great cause Of hui
man freedom. These efforts, though temporary
causes may delay their progress, always have been,
and always will be Ultimately triumphant, so long
and so sure as there is Power above who loves right
and ubhOrs wrong.
| Truth and right arc on our slde Their nature
cannot be changed by the temporary shifting oil
maorltlcs. We as party can well sustain adver-
,ty, because we have this great and eternal plat
form on which to rally for n new contest Oui
opponents have no such rallymg ground. They
have no common platform of common principles
The very ties that united them in their late onset
for the attainment of power, will be sure causes oil
division when that object il attained. Even now
we witness the operation of these causes. There
are loo many cCrmOrdaiS for The spols. The ra-
vcnous mullitudcs who must be disappointed il,
their anticipated share of he plumber will now turn
upon and dcvour each other The elements OF
disunion are already at work in their midst, They

the pure, talented, and patriotic man, now at the
head of the Government, cannot be displaced with
out struggle more desperate and determined than
has ever yet taken place in our country. II there
fore behOoves the Democracy in every section Of
The Union, to begin Immediately, at this rery mo-
menf, to organize themselves and prepare Tor the
conflict which is inevitably approaching, and upon
the event of which, in my humble belief, the exis-
tence of our glorious republic, and the liberties Of
the people, depend-o conflict the result of which,
will determine the problem of popular freedom in
this country, and decide the molnentous question
WHETHER THE PEOPLE, OR THE MONEY
POWER, SHALL RULE.
Allow me to present the following sentiment:
The DemOCratic LandmarkS.-Equal Rights
Universal Educalion--Universal Suffrage
chartered monopolies-no special privileges con-
lerred upon the tep at the expense of the many-
Il strict construction Of the Constitutional sound
currency the result of an adequate metallic basis
ITO National Bank-no National Debt-no sys-
TEN of Internal Improvement by the General Gov
ernmen-no repeal of the Independent Treasury
an abiding confidence in the free and unbiased
expression of the popular villa strict and nevita-
Bile accountability of all public officers to their SUI
periors, the People.

FAIRLY CAUGHT.

Early in the Session, Resolution was
introduced by Mr.. Barnes, of EdgeComb,
calling for an exposition Of the affairs OF
tho Literary Fund--the individuals to
whom money has been loaned, the securi-
ties, &c. The resolution was promptly
laid on the table, as authorising an imper-
tinont scrutiny into the private concerns Of
individuals. The Literary Board were
authorized to lend ont this money, and they
are responsible to the Legislature for the
manner in which tho duty was discharged
Beyond this, the Legislature had nothing
10 do with the matter.
No one supposed that the Resolution
would be heard OF again. But, a few days
ESQ, IT was Quilted up by tho mover, for
action. We have no doub; the Admins
tra,on party calculated on making great
poiitcuf capital Of the proposition. They
desired and expected the Wings would op.
pose il, and then they would have gone
home and said, that the Wings were
afraid to let the People sea what had be-
come Of their money, &c." The Wings,
however, smelt the rat, ana voted almost
unanimously for the Resolution, greatly to

STATE LEGISLATURE.

The bill for the relief Of The Raleigh and
Castor Railroad Company is sill before
The Lcglslalure-not tho original bill, bat
an entirely new one, reported from the spe-
ciai Joint Committee, 10 whom the subject
was referred. As the bill may, if it pass
es, undergo material alterations, it is not
deemed necessary TO state lis provisions
here. When il does pass, it shall be given
entire.
Two additional Counties have been made
in the West, since our fascinating three
altogether. The first, Stanly, was taken
from Monigonery--thc second, Cleave-
land, from Rutherford and LincoIn-t the
third, Caldwell, from Burke and Wilkes.
The bill approPriating $1,000 towards
opening a Road across the Blue Ridge in
to Yancy county, has become law. 1t
was ably advocated by uessrs. Clingman
aud Gather.
In the Senate, Yesterday, Messrs.
Clngman and Bynum made admirable
Speeches on the bill authorising a State
subscription of 50, 600 to the Hickory Nut
Cap Turnpike Road.
Both Houses, it is expected, will adjourn
sine die, on Monday next.
P.S. Since the above was in type, what,
We presume, may be deemed sort of test
cote, has been taleen in tho House Of Com
nous on the Raleigh and Castor Railroad
bill, above referred to, Mr.. Caldwell, Of
Mecklenburg, moved for IFS indefinite post
ponemcnt, and spoke with much earnest
ness aud animation, in support of his mo-
ton. The motion was resisted by Messfs.
McndenhaIl, Barringer, MoClenahan, Cad.
Jones and Paine, in Speeches which did
equal credit to their heads and hearts.

Of 80 to 81, and the House Immediately
