The great issue before the people is,
whether all the powers of Government
shall be concentrated in the hands of the
General GOVernment-the States being re-
duced TO the condition of counties-and a
consolidated despotism be thereby estab-
lished; or, whether those rights of local
self-government which our fathers enjoy
ed aud which we inherited from them, and
without which there can be no real liberty,
no wise government no public economy,
no light taxation, shall be preserved
A powerful faction, represented by ma
jority in Congress, have eonspired to over
throw the free and beneHcent institutions
of our fathers, and to substitute therefor an
Oligarchy of privileged classes, crushing
the mass Of the people and all Individual
liberty, under the weight of despotic and
unrestricted General Government. To eff
feet thisobieet they, in plain violation Of
the Constitution, exclude eleven States
from representation in Congress, and Insist
upon eonferring upon negroes the right
TO vote-not ont Of regard to the negro,
but because they expect to be ablt,
with their money, 10 control his vote, and
thereby perpetu&te their party ascendeney.
Let every man who is opposed to the
schemes of the conspirators, who cherishes
, the Institutions founded W cur fathers,
who appreciates the necessity and benefits
of local selfsgovernmeht, who Is opposed to
seeing the great State Of Ohio shorn Of her |
digdity and reduced to the dependent con-
dition OF county, or who is opposed to
Negro Suffrage, join with the Democracy
In rsscping our country from the grasp of
the Malignants. rg 100 aqE

THE MONEY ORDER SysrEM.-Our post
master, d. B. Nye, informs us that be il
ready now to carry into effect the new sys.
tenn adopted by the Government, and which
went into force, on Monday last, on this
Coast. The official instructions from Wash.
ington are as follows: ari.. ,u
"The money order system is intended to
promote public convenience and to insure
safety 10 the transfer through the mails of
small sums of money. ri... r.
The mode by which safety is secured con,
ssts in leaving out Of the order the name Of
the payee or party for whom the money is
intended. In this respect money order diff
fers from an ordinary bank draft or check.
An advance or notification, containing full
particulars of the order, is transmitted by the
issuing Postmaster to the Postmaster at the
office of payment. The latter is thus fur.
nished, before the order itself can be presen.
ted, with the necessary information to detect
fraud, if any should be attempted"
The fees charged by the Postoffice are ten
cents on ten dollars. fifteen cents on amounts
over ten dollars and not exceeding twenty
dollars; and twenty cents on amounts over
twenty dollars and up to thirty dollars. The
mode Of transmission is perfectly safe, it be-
ing impossible for any mail robbsr to avail
himself Of the benefit Of the order transmit
ted. No orders for larger amounts than
thirty dollars are allowed, but several order
for such amounts may be drawn and trans,
mitted. Greenbacks and National notes
will alone be paid out. e .7- .Mafla.

be made in the matter Of which we have
written. Public policy and justice calls for
it, and the inherent right Of the masses to
protection from fraud and d.wroug, appeals to
the Legislature or the National Congress for

The LAST DAYS OF THE CoNFEDERAcY.-A
correspondent Of the London Times, who
WAS with the army Of Virginia, describes
some of the closing scenes Of the great
struggle for Southern independence. He
says:
Charlotte was the birthplace Of Ameri.
can independence, the first ordinance of Sc.
cesson from England having been passed
there in l775, a year before the general de-
claration. BY singular coincidence, it is
also the place where American lfberty-con
tinued, say; for right there secession died.
The Confederate Government received ITS
mortal stroke at Danville-the consequences
were perceived at Greensboro, and took final
effect at Charlotte; for it was in Charlotte
that Jefferson Davis ratified the Sherman
and johnson treaty which President John,
son repudiated. saw Mr.. Davis that eve
nng-when he had yielded his last hope
and there was nothing of the lulicrous
mingled with the gloom Of that scene. He
was sitting with his eyes fixed on the pages
Of pamphlet and his mind apparently far
away. Those that were present moved on
tptoe, spoke seldom and with muflled voices.
There was shadow in the room that Rem.
brandt could not paint. The spirit of the
young Coufederacy was now miugting with
the shades Of Greece, Carthage and Rome;
but the body still remained and the vultares

endeavoring to rally some Of the men whom
she enemy had driven from the salient at the
part OF the breastworks where SO many of
Johnson's division were captured. Gen. Lee.
iu the calmest and kindest manner, said:
Boys do not run away, go back, go back.
your comrades need you in the trenches"
Gen. Ewell, forgetting his religion in the ex.
element of the moment said: "Yes, Cd
