D Letter from Judge Black,

We hope none-eceas+sadersIhl
overlook the letter of Attorney General
BLACK, on our first page, written in re-
ply to an Invitation to attend a meeting
IN Philadelphia a short time since to
endorse the Presidents policy in regard
to Kansas. Judge Black is a very for
chile writer and profound thinker, and
we venture the prediction that, he has
never made SO happy a use of his pen
as in this case. The letter is a correct
statement of the Kansas difficulty and
and an able vindication of the policy
advanced by the President, and we
therefore commend it to the careful and
considerate perusal of u Democratic
readers. There are one or two more
letters from members of the Cabinet,
which we will probably lay before u
readers ere long.

A High i'll Eli

It is enough to disgust the most in
veterate demagogue, to hear the Adolf
t%ionists crying out for a "tariff." Why
in the name of shovel ploughs didn
they try to establish a ''high tariff when
they had the control of Congress, if
they consider it a measure of sc much
Importance to the country? Why, if
they believe the doctrine they are now
preaching. did they bueer the duties I'M
posed by the Democratic tariff Of. 1916?
Why did they support for Governor, at
the last election, the bitterest and most
uncompromising anti-tariff man in the
Union? Instead of agis9Bing the sub
ject of a "high tariff" when in the last
Congress they had a solid working ma
jority, they consumed their time in fight
ing about bleeding Kansas" and in
settling for brides with railroad compa-
MES to which they had made cxtrava.
CANT grants of public lands. Instead
of raising the duties authorized by the
Democratic Revenue Tariff of 1916
they buercd them, so that now the Gov
ernment is compelled to give its pape,
in payment of Abolition debts, there
not being a sufficient revenue. Instead
of supporting a "t~rT man. for Gov.
ernor, they nominated and voted fol
"the only British free trade Tory IN al
Pennsylvania" Beautiful fellows tc
talk about a "high tariff" to be sure

The Grave of Patrick Henry.

The Richmond enquirer" speaking
of the grave of the great Virginian pa
triot and statesman, says:
"Until very recently-and the people
not only of Virginia, but of the whole
Union, should hear it with chagrin and
sorrow-the grave of Patrick Henry
has had no stone to mark its locality,
no monument to invite the eye of pill
grims in search of that sacred shrine.
And at last the pious and patriotic task
has been undertakes, not by the State
that proudly claims the maternity of
him, whose dauntless spirit and stirring
eloauence awakened the -slumbering
spark and famed the fame of Ameri-
can freedom-not by the nation that
s'boasts his name" and still reaps the
reward of his service, but by the two
surviving sons of that fearless and gift
ed champion of liberty.
We have been favored by a gentle
man who has lately BEEN s%ojourning for
a few days in the county of Charlotte,
with a description of the tomb stone
It is strikingly symbolical of the great
eau. e of republicanism, in which he who
sleeps beneath it, so g~loriously shone,
not less by the light of the genius with
which he irradiated it, than by the pa
triotic ardor that animated him to es-
pouse it. It consists simply of a solid
wait # n sandstone-quarried on the
place-nine feet ten inches square, and
two feet high, with a s-uperstructure six
feet square, twenty-five inches high,
with marble slabs projecting over the
sides. On one of the slabs is inscribed:
Patrick Henry. Born May 29th, 1886.
Died June 9Th, 1899. His fame his
best epitaph." On the other: Dorethea
cambridge, wife of Patrick Henry
Born in the year 1855. Died Februa-
ry 18th, 1881" It will thus be seen
that his wife sleeps by his side. In
Charlotte county, at Red Hill, the resi-
dence of John Henry, Esq, these sa1
cred relics lie. Would it not be well
for the State of Virginia to add a sin
gle stone, at least, to the modest mon.
ument that marks the grave of Patrick
Henry?

Charges of corruption.

Grave charges of fraud and corrup-
ton are now before the Congress of the
United States. First We have a charge
against Mr.. Cullom, late Clerk of the
House of Representatives, for defraud
ing the Treasury of $25, 900 in the dis
tribution of books to the members
Then there is a charge of bribery and
corruption against certain Republican
members of the last Congress, arising
from the item in the books of Lawrence,
Stone & Co., of Boston, of $4,000, for
passing the amended tariff act; then the
private sale of Fort Smelling reservation
by the government at a price which
some Black Republican GROWER alleges
to be far less than might have been OBJ
tanned for it; and last, though not least,
the movement for the re-expulsion of
the notorious o. B. Matteson, member
from the Oneida District, from the
House of Representatives. Highly in
teresting view Of things to the lovers Of
Justice and morality.

A Sober Second Thought.

The South is not unanimous in con-
demning Commodore Paulding and ap-
plauding Governor Walker. At New
Orleans, we see by the papers, a sub
scription has been opened for the pur-
pose of presenting to Commodore Paul
ding a sword of honor, and to the officers
and crew of the frigate Wabash a flag,
as an evidence of the approval of their
acts on the part of those who subscribe.
Several influential Southern papers arc
defending Paulding, and the friends Of
Walker are becoming less fierce and de,
monstrative than they were. There has
especially, been a change in the tone Of
many Southern Democrats since tho
President and Cabinet have pronounced
! against Walker.

CampbeII aud ValIandigham.

The Dayton Empire of Thursday last
says hat the Committee on Elections
took up the case from our district some
time during the week, and on Friday
aud Saturday last, Hon. Geo. MeCook.
formerly Attorney General, presented
the points for Mr.. Vallandigham, and
we are assured his argument was a pow
erful and convincing one. Mr.. Camp
bell appeared before the Committee on
Tuesday last, and not asking for further
time OF presenting any new testimony,
it was ordered that he should argue his
Case on that day before them, to be re-
piled to by Mr.. Vallandigham. The
following extract from the c~orrespon-
dence of tho Philadelphia Press of4he
Goth inst, will give our readers an idea
of how it is regarded at Washington:
"The Ohio contested election case of
Vallandigham against Campbell, excites
special attention from the question in
volved. If negroes be entitled to vote,
then there may be a show of right in
Campbell to retain his seat; but as a
majority of the Committee on Elections
hold to the contrary, as laid down in
the bred Scott decision of the Supreme
Court of the Unit ID States, the certain
ty is that they will report against him,
and in favor of Vallandigham. In any
event, the case when brought before the
House, will elicit an animated debate on
the question of African suffrage"
We will probably know the result the
latter part of the present week.

GOVERNOR WISE ON THE KANSAS
CoNsTITUTIoN.-Governor Wise having
been invited to celebrate the Sth of jan
uary at Tammany. Hall. N. Y, wrote a
letter in which he speaks at c%onsidera-
BILE length of the Kansas trouble. 1t
seems he agree; neither W h Mr.. Doug
las nor the President, in lis views, but
inclines rather to the policy I%ropound-
ed by Mr.. Pugh in the bill proposed to
the Senate, and proceeds to argue that
the President, cannot 60 behind the fact
of the adoption of the constitution. AT
the same time he proposes to solve the
difficulty in this way:
"The Congress of the Utnied States
ought not to reject the legitimate and
republican constitution, but to adopt it,
subject to a fair and legal vote of the
people of Kansas, according to a law to
be prescribed by their territorial lcgisla-
lure aud to admit the State under its
constitution whenever the Territory
shall proclaim its approval and adop-
ton by the people. If they adopt it,
to admit her into the Union ipso fucto,
and if they reject it, to leave the people
of Kansas in their own way, to organize
another, and to submit another consti-
tuition to Congress for approval.

A Sensible e

It is known that there was a regular
split in the Free State party of Kansas,
in reference to the propriety of voting
for State officers, under the provisions
of the Lecempton Constitution, on the
4th inst The regular Conventions had
been controlled by the impracticables
under the advice of Jim Lane and his
c%ronies, but a mass Convention had been
holden, which was under the influence
of the conservative portion of the party,
and was addressed by Thomas Ewing,
jr., Judge Conway, Judge M'Kay, Ex-
Governor Robinson and others, all of
whom advocated voting under the Lee
compton Constitution as the readiest and
most practical means of settling the diff
~iculties in the Territory. We make
the following extracts from the speech
of Mr.. Ewing, and invite special atten-
ton to the very remarkable and start
ling admissions it contains-admissions
which must triumphantly vindicate the
course of the Administration, and the
policy recommended by the Democratic
press generally
Thomas Ewing, Jr., of L~eavenworth,
said he was not delegate, butaleeker
on. He had differed radically with the
free State party in the spring, and had
been for voting then, and did vote. He
was for voting now. He was for action
and opposed to inaction. The policy
of inaction Will destroy us. 1t will lose
us our cause, and the respect of our
friends in the States. They will tell US
we should have fought through the bal
lot box.
He was ~apprehensive we should be
admitted under the Lecompton consti
tuition. Since the days of Gen. Jack
son, the federal executive has, almost
universally, carried through Congress
any measure it adopted.
The only policy is to go into the cleo
ton for State officers. Every resident
can vote. The opponents of the Lee
compton party are in a majority of at
least 10000. The plea that we cannot
have a fair election is pusillanimous.-
The territorial officers, aided by a civil
posse, Cdu dTIcSt duu PUNISH IdIu cut
voters; and, if the people are dc er.nin-
ed, the laws cannot be overriten. II
we carry the State officers, and Congrc. S
admits US, the government can at once
assemble the Legislature, which will call
a new convention to frame and submit
to the people a new constitution /; and
no power outside the State can call in
question the validity of the constitution
when so framed, submitted and ratified.
There but one course suggested other
than that of voting. 1t is to be set NJ
an Independent government. That is
rebellion. That man is mad who advi-
ses this as a mode of redress for griev-
ances which can be redressed at the bal
lot box. 1t would inevitably fail, and
involve us in ruin. Look at the past
attempts at rebellion in this country
and remember how the nullifers ,cent
down, and how the whiskey insurrec-
tionists were pmtdewn. emay Pronl
by their example. The only mode of
opposing this Lecompton constitution
from which we can or ought to hope
anything, is the lawful mode. Let us
90 into the election for State officers.
