@The Importance of one vote at the
approaching election cannot be estimated
1t may secure the election to Congress of a
tried and true friend of the Union, over
Frank Thomas. who is its uncompromising
foe, and whose election will aid in keep
ing alive the bittcrest sectional feeling, BY
keeping the Union divided.
One vote may defeat your Delegate tick
ct and that defeat might return. that un-
mitisated humbng, Creswcll to the U. S,
Senate.
Then how important is this election
How important is it to every Farmer, Me
ehanic and Laboring man, when the greedy
voice Of Government is already calling for
more tares that they should have Repre-
sentative in Congress who will interpose
bis voice against the shameless extrava-
gance of the dominant party in that body.
Every conservative can readily realize
the Importance. of the contest. and should
therefore do bis full duty. We have no
danger to fear, save from the inactivity Of
cur own party Conservatism has enough
friends to sustain it, if they will but stand
forth boldly in its defence, Then let ev-
cry vote be pollcd-let the united efforts
of all be exertcd in the cause, and the re-
suit will be glorious triumph. We wi
not only have Radiealism in Maryland at
our feet as lifel2ss and helpless as an
Egyptian mummy. but we will witness the
dawn of letter times in the establishment
Of correct principles.
Not to vote at all. is not only deserving
CORRECT PRINCIPLES, but leaving
them to be trampled at the mercy of the
enemy.
Not to vote at all, is not only leaving
your principles at the mercy of the enemy,
but it is absolutely giving the enemy" aid
and comfort"
If you are not upon the side of correct
principles, you must be against them-for
to desert them is nothing more or less than
standing quietly by and giving counte-
nance to their destruction.
Remem Der, then, that he who stands BY
correct principles in the hour of need, is .

traitor as though he had SURRENDER.

For 1866, Congress has voted nearly
seven millions of dollars to support the
Free linens Bureau. as follows:
O.fcers anl Expenses of same 8 33a. 800

Provisions and Medicines 3.6N6 $50
Railroad AMI other Fare 1920. 900

ATTEMPTED NEGRO IxsUnREcrIoN.--.A
serious disturbance occurred on Cat Island
some % miles below Memphis, Tenn,
en- Saturday. About fifty negroes armed
themselves, and started out, as somo say,
with the determination to slaughter all the
whites. They first encountered Henry
and Isaac Turner, and commenced firing
on them. Tho latter returned the fire
with revolvers. killing Bill Dixon, the ne
gro leader, and another, aud wounding
three others. The negroes then fed
Henry Turner was slightly wounded in the
head. The whites in the neighborhood
then armed and went in pursuit; but after
the death of their leader the negroes scat
tered through the country. Parties are
now in search of some of the ringleadcrs.

Can you Swallow it.

We believe there arc a COOL many well

tofore voted the Republican ticket, under
the honest impression that they were vo-
ting to support and maiutain the Union. -
They had no idea that tliey were voting
to place the negro on an equality with them
selves. If they were called upon to-mor-
row to vote on the question of negro suf-
fragc they would vote against it. These
men are deceived aud cheated It can no
longer be denied that the Republican par

shall vote, that he shall sit in the iury-box

The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1866-12-20

The New Orleans Bulletin recently
said that out of about one hundred
Mississippi papers received at that of
flee but six were opened. The Aber-
deem Examiner takes umbrage at the
remark, and very justly too, and hits
the Bulletin back in this style:
When we look over the Bulletin,
and remark the dead, stupid tone and
appearance of this sheet, we congrat-
ulate ourself upon not being one of
either the hundred or the half dozen,
and regret exceedingly that the pro-
prietors of this Metropolitan journal
do not employ an editor with vim
enough 10 handle his scissors, when
good material offers, rather than fish
in the muddy pool of his imagination
or the insipid tadpole trash he serves
up to his readers.
That's pretty tight, old fellow, but
still we cannot blame you; the Bulle-
tins remark was entirely uncalled for,
and is certainly reflection OH the
press of our State. Can't the Bulletin
give us the name Of the six Missis-
sippi papers read in its sanctum, so
that the other ninety -four may cut off
the exchange, and thereby save paper
and truuble If they are not read it's
useless to send them. On the whole
we do not see the good of wasting
paper bullets of the brain" at each
other. Let us, if we will at all shoot,
"shoot folly as it fiies," and thus ben
eft instead Of amusing the public.

WHY SURRATT WAS NOT ARRESTED
IN ENGLAND.-A Washington telegram
states on what is styled excellent au-
thority, that it was deemed impracti-
cable to arrest Surratt on British soil
because of the almost certain probable
ity that English public sentiment as
well as English enforcement of the ex-
tradition treaty would regard Surratt' S
crime as political one, and therefore
his attempted arrest on British soil
would result not only in failure to Sc
cure the assassin but in his own adj
vantage by being made the subject of
protection by Great Britain, whose ex-
ample other European Governments
would not have been slew to follow.
The Government, however, appears to
have as much trouble in finding the
witnesses against Surratt as in securing
that individual. Lad, the tavern
keeper at Surrattsville and an impor-
tant witness, cannot be found. De
tectives have been sent all over the
country, but he comes not
George Wilkman, another witness
of the same category as Lad, has also
disappeared, and is believed to have
turned his back on America.

There has been another Woman's
Rights Convention held in the State
of New York. The resolutions pre-
sented declare that man or woman
white or black, being of mature age
sound mind, and notlegally convicted
of crime, are entitled to vote; and
call upon the electors of the State to
send delegates to the approaching
Convention for revision of the State
Constitution, irrespective of sex or
complexion.
Cady Stanton was there as usual,
and presented many reasons why "ne-
groes and women" should be enfran-
chised. When they are given the use
of the ballot she thinks marriage will
be dignified and "men will seek for
wives, for women will be fortunes in
themselves" How the ballot is to
enhance woman's worth Mrs. Stan
ton did not, however, state. The at
tendance was small and entirely devoid
of enthusiasm. The sensible portion
of the fair sex Knowing that the am
bilious Mrs. Stanton and Annie Dick
inson are out of their sphere, give
them no encouragement

we are told the money MARKET 4
New York Is tighter than il has been il
two years, and some distrust begins tc
lpFuFhil as TO the political and financial
EHture. There are evidences Of q
financial storm discernible everywhere
Business is unusually dull and in all
branches of work the expenses are
being "cut down" The editor Of the
National Intelligencer gives it as his
opinion that this state of things is at
tributable to the prospec! of radical
domination in the affairs of the Gov
eminent for the next two or three or
more years. The fearful prospect will
keep capital back from profitable en-
ployment, and force it again into I'M
fruitful speculations The South. it
very justly argues, cannot obtain cap
ital for its agricultural operations or
its improved means of transportation,
either from the North or from Eng
land, while the radical Congress re-
mains the actual government Of the
country. This Congress, as is much
feared, is about to assume the govern
ment of the excluded Southern States,
under territorial or colonial system;
and while this impression rests on the
public mind there can be no improve
ment in our financial or commercial
affairs. Mr.. Phillips recognizes this
fact in his latest spsech He urges
Congress to hurry up their extreme
measures for giving political power to
the blacks of the South, for the reason
that the industrial classes of the North
will not long tolerate the commercial
depression of the country, which is
caused by the exclusion of the South
from the enjoyment of their political
rights in the Union.
Abolition progress and madness
bids fair to bring ruin upon the coun-
try. Production in the South is
broken down-the four million bales
of cotton, the four hundred thousand
hogsheads of sugar, and two million
dollars worth of rice, that were sent
to market annually from the South, are
gone, and terrible catastrophe GER
tainly appears inevitable. The Intel
ligencer is right in saddling the blame
on Congress. Utterly blind to the in
terests and wants of the people, it has
pursued baleful and tyrannous
course, rushed along with an appalling
speed, threatening the South with con-
flscation and the gullotine, and pro
ducing feverish and doubtful state
of affairs throughout the North.
Thinking men see that our concessions
have been in vain, and hence a spirit
of resentment is gaining ground and
a firm determination settling upon
every one to deal lightly with the soil,
until this doubt and uncertainty is re-
moved. We must watch and wait.
The curtain will rise ere long, and |
when it does we will find the North |
chained down to the poverty from
which we are just emerging.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN 2-Thad. Stew
ems the most radical of the radical
pack at Washington, made a very
strange and inconsistent speech the
other day in discussing the bill extend
ing the three years limitation for
treason trials. Mr.. Stevens took the
ground that time did not count in the
case of refugees, instancing in this
connection Slidell, Mason and others.
He was opposed to pass laws to hang
a man after the hanging ofense had
been committed, for the purpose Of
hanging him. Regarding Mr.. Davis,
Mr.. Stevens said he would not be tried
for treason. He was not guilty Of
treason; his offense was that Of being
a belligerent and not a traitor, and it
would be gross injustice to put him
upon trial The speech is said 70 be
the universal topic at Washington,
yet no one seems able to divine its
