II our worthy President, who greatly
delights in notoriety, designed to pro-
duce message which should make
people talk about him, he has every
reason to be pleased with his success.
The organs of the party which elected
Mr.. johnson generally consider it an
insult to the nation; and the Repre-
sentatiyes of the people could hardly
persuade themselves to receive it with
ordinary respect, But these indica-
tons of disapproyal will doubtless be
rather pleasing than otherwise to a
President who takes pride in having a
policy which is opposed to the will of
the people
II it were not for previous knowl-
edge of Mr.. Johnson's character, it
would be rather surprising to find him
demanding in his annual message the
Immediate repeal of the acts which con-
stitute the reconstruction policy Of Con-
gress. We venture to say that no 9TH
er man would have the face TO plainly
inform a body Of men just elected by
the people upon the very Issue OF sus-
tanning that policy, that the good ofthe
people demanded its speedy abandon
ment. To make bis administration con
sistent throughout, Mr.. johnson will

gress should have sustained bis policy
rather than the policy Of the people.
President johnson says that the at

under the dominion Of the blacks has
thrown the South into anarchy We
beg leave to differ 1t was the attempt
Of the President 70 place loyal men IN

quiet that followed the surrender Of

most conclusive evidence to show that

State DemooratIo Mass Convention.

The Democrats held their State demon
stration here yesterday-a demonstration
that was suggested by the success Of the
splendid Mass Meeting Of the Republican
Fighting Boys in Blue, aud Intended to
act in the nature of an antidote TO the good
effect of the latter occasion. III ey never
dared hope TO cope with US in demon
stration pure and simple Of the Boys who
wore the blue, land therefore the language
Of the call ran, "a State Mass Conven.
ton Of Democrats, conservative men, and
White Boys in Blue" In other words,
the attempt was, by embracing in their
call an appeal to every element in the
Democratic party, to excel the Republican
demonstration Of the Soldier element
alone. The result of this effort is before
US, aud it is, TO put it concisely. failure
--adismal, dispiriting, dishearlening, dys-
peptic failure. The day was ALL meteoro-
logically. that could have been desired,
aud seemed to tempt the Democracy to
do their utmost.
Caudor compels us TO say that they
did their utmost. 1t is "A peculiarity OF
the Democracy to do their best, and the
sympathy Of every one who appreciates
resolute endeavor amid such discouraging
obstacles as beset the Democracy, (and
are daily accumulating around the devo-
ted band Of repudators,) will 90 out free
ly, We have no doubt, to them for their
melancholy failure yesterday. They have
been struggling for some time against the
Fates, aud the Fates have got the better
of them. But il is not our purpose to
reproach the Democracy ia their misfor-
tunes. Gallant and determined effort, ev.
en- if unsuccessful, should ever be fitting
ly acknowledged. aud it doa't become the
magnanimous Republican majority of
this State TO twit unieelingly their dis
piriied opponents, who did all they could
TO get out their legions in becoming mum
bers. The truth is that Democracy has
ceased to be life giving spirit and the
main body of its old adherenis see noth-
ing ia it, recent record or present pros
poets TO inspire enthusiasm journal.

met by the Sheriff of the county who
stated that the people would not allow
Radical TO speak in CAMILLA. They per.
sisted, however, and on reaching the
Court House, they and their friends were
assaulted by the mob.
Colonel Pierce was dangerously shot,
Captain Murphy is badly hurt, and many
more Of the Republicans were killed aud
wounded.
A large majority Of Republicans were
colored men, who, obedient TO Governor
Bullock's proclamation, Of the l4;h inst,
were not armed. They we're Of course
beaten and shot down by the Seymour
Democracy, almost without resistance,
Official reports place the number Of kill

a colored woman aud her infant.
These outrages are being perpetrated

The vote Of Franklin county, which Is
Democratic, in 1866 was 4,475, and the
taxes in 1867 were 1921, ,69S 20, and st.
Joseph county, which is Republican, gave
vote in 1866 Of 4 937, aud the taxes in
1867 amounted TO s2l 90i 60, making .
difference Of s99.7 81 Thus Il costs
the Democratic party 500 793 81 more to
govern 1000 voters than IL does the Re-
publican party to govern about the sane
number. But perhaps the Democrats in
Frankln county are bigger than the Re-
publicans are in ST. Joseph county, and
eat more.
The vote in Dearborn county in 1866
was 5.49s, and the taxes for 1867 were
SIS, ,915 06, and the vote 10 Decatur coun-
ty was 4 1876, in the same year, and Il .
taxes S2I ,206 %. making difference Of
S65,77l 81. Thus we see that Decatur
county, with hne court house worth ono
hundred thousand dollars or over Is
governed by the Republican party with
SG5,7 81 loss expense than Dearborn
county Is by tho Democrats, with no im-
provements. Now, we would like TO haze
