The Memphis Appeal says "if the
Democratic party had been properly
led, Illinois would not have exceed ed
her quota in the field by more than
$4,000 men, and the blood of her sons
would not have stained so many battle
fields" Exactly. The Democratic
party properly led would have pre-
vented enlistments aud drafts for the
Union armies in Illinois aud every
where fit could. With better leader
ship the Democratic draft riots would
have been more successful and ske-
daddling to Canada would not have
been the last Copperhead refuge.
Could the Democratic party have had
its way neither the sons of Illinois or
any other State would have been per
mitted tOlift hand against the South
ern conspirators, and the sovereign
States of the South would have been
allowed to depart in peace" In short
as the Appeal in effect acknowledges
the Democratic party had the will,
and only lacked the ability to secure
the success of the rebel cause.

A Nashville letter to the Cincinnati
Gazette contains the following Rossipy
paragraphs concerning the reeonstrue-
ted:
1t was quite amusing to hear Colonel
l., a cheerful looking South CarOli-
nian, who owns a fine plantation not
far from Lake Village. He Is a discIp-
le of Calhoun, and eherishes his mem
ory above that of any other man, liv-
ing or dead. He soon became utterly
disgusted, he said, with the encroaeh-
ments made upon State rights By Mr..
Davis. and declared the Richmond
Government was a worse tyranny than
the old Federal Government. But,
said he, I'VE have been ruled by the
Yankees ever since JAG kson was made
President, and / have got used to it.
In fact ike it. The Government at
Wasl ingtOn is now the d-dest tYran-
ny on the face of the earth, but ike
it better than I did when James K.
Polk vas President. IF I am to be
ruled by the Yankees, I want to take
it as [ do Whisky-stTaight / am a
subject Of the United States, and all
want the Government to do is to give
The old fellows negroes have all staid
with him. He has made a handsome
crop this year; and, despite all he says,
is glad at heart that the old flag floats
over him.
"If you have tears, prepare to shed
them now. NJ. poured his sad story
into my ears, alternately weeping, pray
ing aud swearing: when this cursed
war broke out | lived in Kentucky,
and had seven as likely niggers as any
man ever owned and every last one of
them was taken from me. I was at
that time as moral a man there was in
Kentucky. My wife, God bless her,
was a Christian, and died happy, and
the last word she said to me was to be
a good man and meet her IN heaven,
But I couldn't stand the loss of my

them from me my heart would break.

makes me mad to look at them, and l
can scarcely keep from killing niger
who has been a soldier. I hired a mig
ger to work on my place, and when I
found out he had been a soldier,
knocked him down with my cane
and beat him to ajelly. then drove
him of, and told him If he reported me

Gov. Orr, in his recent message to
the South Carolina Legislature, ex-
presses a belief that the experiment Of
free labor will not be a failure. South

fact The free labor system has been
tried in the North for full a century
and as yet shows no signs of failure.

We again present this important
subject to our readers, It Is one
which far outreaehes all denomination
al or party limits, and appeals to that
common humanity which over-lies and
should smother all political or seetari-
an preiudiees. Millions of money are
annually sent from this country to be
used in evangelizing the savages and
| barbarians of distant quarters Of the
globe, while at our very threshold
there are millions Of people, having
far greater claims upon our charity,
/ fam:shing for intellectual and reli-
giouz culture It would certainly be
wrong TO forget the one class but how
much more so to neglect the other
/ If we owe a debt to the free denizens
of the African iuBgles. how much more
to those whom our refined barbarism
has brought here and enslaved. IF
I our charity ought to reach the benight-
ed Hindoo Of the Ganges. how much
more ought 1t to compass the abused
freedman OF the Mississippi. IF we
ought to educate and ehristainize the
remote heather tribes for whose deg
radiation we are not responsible, how
much more ought we to do this work
Of beuevoleuce for those whom, in the
midst uf civilization, we have denied
its blessings aud crushed in cruel bon
dage. Those may be eonstruetiyely,
but these are most certainly our neigh
bors whom we are enjoined to care for
as ourselves. They are besides our
fellow citizens-meu with whom we
must mingle as political, if not social
equals. We cannot separate ourselves
from their social influence. and 1t is
therefore of the utmost importance to
ourselves that we elevate them as much
as possible. We must give them the
ballot and it is a matter of national
/ Importance that they be enabled to
use it intelligently, We must have
their labor. and to make it useful and
profitable il the highest degree we
must CuucaA5 H. II We CA6FhtG Suo
freedmen their christainized intelli-
| gence viii by its reflex influence en-
hance our own if we keep them down
they will be a continual blight and in
cubus upon our own civilization.
These remarks have been suggest
ed by the following letter from Maj.
Gen. Wood, just received by a gentle
man Of this place. Some time since,
it viii be remembered, we published a
letter upon the same subject and from
/ the same source to Bishop McLlvaine,
to which attention was then called.
Any contributions made IN response
to the following appeal will be thank
