ste Of all the States. and the essential princi-
les which constitute the basis Of the Republic.

1phold, to the utmost Of our ability, the union
the States under them. Feeling that they
re endangered by the revolutionary schemes OF
Radical politicians who now hold the Legis-
alive power Of the Government. We shall abate
othing Of our past opposition TO their msa-
surs With these views, which are no less thar
,rolound convictions. we cannot and will not
hesitate to defend the unfortunate South

The True Way to Peace.

The true way to peace and fraternity
is to let by-gones be by-gones, and in
quire not what men were but what they
are. The difference between parties as
they now exist was thus forcibly pre-
sented by Maj. Gen. Thos. Ewing, at the
Cooper Institute, New York:
The Republican party represents no
principle for which we fought. We
thought not of negro suffrage [applause
and cries of No, no,"] or white dis
franchisement, or forcing on the South
eru States unequal fellowship in the
Union, {" Never, never" of changing
our benefcent form Of government,
["Nd, never" or of perpetuating the
Republican parry. ["Never, never. Out
Of the FIVE hundred thousand Union SOL
diers, Democrats and Republicans, who
sleep on fields washed by the waters of
the Atlantic and the Gulf, not one laid
down his life for any such end Of the
fifteen hundred thousand of their sur
viving comrades, not one will say he
would have rsked his life for either of
these objects. And these measures of
the Republican party are not only not
the objects of the war, but are so prosecu-
ted as to defeat those objects and to in
hct on the nation evils as great as those
the war was waged to prevent. GShouts,
that's so.
The Democratic party is now the only
party true to the Constitution and the
Union. Applause. If we would ac-
complish the purposes of our service and
sacrifice, if we would save the Union and
the States, their liberties and laws, we
must unite with the Democracy. Long
continued applause We must, not ask
what men hare been, but what they are ;
not who lately defended the Constitution.
but who no,o defend it. [Great applause
In the path in which the Democratic
party treads we see the footprints of
Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and all
the heroes of the revolution; of Webster,
Jackson, Clay, Wright, and all the giants
of the generation just gone before us;
and while it keeps that line of march,
and bears the flag of the Constitution and
the Union, we can follow it with pride and
with unfaltering trust. Immense ap-
plause, cheers, and waving of hats, fol-
lowed by the band playing Rally Round
the Flag."]

and cover like mighty hosts the entire

honest man in the Republic. Then say,
1--WE will resist TO the death this mea-
sure Of iniquily. this measure that com
pels you to admit the negro 70 perpetuiiy
Of suffrage with yourselves. These laws
strike, as at q blow, all these brave and
noble men from among you who have
been with you for the last sixty years.
Your Legislators, your judges, your law
yers, your frends-those who in oil sea-
sous stood by you and with you-are cast
OF by horde Of carpet-baggers and me-
gro slaves, who are the legislators Of the
present.
SO numerous and powerful are the evils
which these people have inflicted upon
you that shrink from recounting them.
The enormities which we daily behold in
every part Of our country need no por-
trayal here. / do not, therefore, believe
that there is q man within the sound Of
my voice--nor any honest man anywhere
who will require any inducement to
join the ranks OF the Democratic party Of
the United States.
Gen. Grant tells you he wants peace.
What sort Of peace2 The peace Of the
tyrant Of Russia, when he sent the poor
Poles in chains to Siberia, and, after hav-
ing disposed Of them in that manner,
issued his proclamation that " Order
reigns in Warsaw" Laughter aud
cheers.] That is the peace that Gen.
Grant wants. :
| will tell you another fact, which is
enough for this time, that, as the late
war was produced by the defeat Of the
Democratic party in 1860, we shall never
have peace until it is restored in 1868.
II Gen. Grant wants peace let him join
the Democratic party. lCheers. Isay,
by God, that neither despotism, nor
tyranny, nor injustice meet with peace
either in this world or the next We
want no peace in chains. Peace worthy
Of freedom we want; and, as we have
now no possibility of fighting with the
sword, let us fight with the bsllot-box.
The gentleman was frequently cheered
during the delivery of his speech, and
when he concluded took his seat amid
much applause.

The Negroes Waiting Orders" Death TO
the White Trash"
From the ClarksviIle Chronicle ]

From the CiarksVHle Ohronlcle.J
We have it on good authority that
she Radical in this place told lady that
the whites had better keep sharp look
out, as they-hersef and the Radicals
have three or four hundred armed negroes
at their command, and ready to do their
bidding at moments warning. Whether
to be forewarued is to be forearmed, is q
problem yet to be solved. So far as we
can gather, the whites are as calmly in.
different as if they were not standing
upon volcano that may burst forth at
any moment to whelm them in FIRE. The
indifference manifested on this subject is
really alarming, because it amounts to
apathy.
Armed negroes promenading the streets
is no unusual sight, and attracts no more
attention, even from the police, than so
many persons going to church. Such ex-
hibitions are no unmeaning brevado;
they have an object, and that object is
not peace aud good will. We deprecate
any aggressive measures on the part OF
the whites, but earnestly cntreat tham TO
be prepared for any outbreak. Good
FIRE arms are trusty friends in times Of
danger and no white gentleman should
be without them. We have had warnings
enough; let them be needed for we know
not what night may bring forth. The
Radicals desire disturbance as pre-
text for organizing militia force
throughout the State. Let us prepare
ourselves that should one be insngurated
that neither black nor white Radicals
will ever seek another.
