They profess to keep the troops quartered
on the Souther soil to protect the freed
men, as they assert, from the prevailing
disposition of the whites of the South to
annul the negros emancipation and prac-
tically mike him q slave again. If the
necessity exists at present for keeping a
standing army in the South for this pur-
pose, we undertake to say the necessity
will not only exist after the election
Of Grant-shonll that direful event hap

there al present exists any such necessity,
and we do not, candidly, believe it ever
will exist. We know very well, that IL the
negro shall ever be left TO the government
and control Of civil authorities selected
from the Southern population, be will be
forced to produce his own living, so far as

Tumbadero, August, 1868.

~ Hon. Jno. Quincy Adams, in accept
ing'the Democratic nomination for Cover
nor Of Massachusetts,, says:
II think that two matters of ma.
tional interest are involved in this
election, ono of which is important
and the other vital. The former.
which I take to be the financial
question, was not treated by tho
New York National Convention in
a manner which satisfied my judg-
ment, by providing for the payment
Of the bonds known Us Five.Twen-
ties, by the surplus revenue alone,
thus ignoring what ems to me a
valuable part of Mr.. Pendleton's
plan, viz: withdrawal of the issues
ofNational Banks. The democratic
party appears to commit itself to an
indefinite extension oftho intolerablc
nuisance of an irredecmable paper
currency. ! am too much Of dem.
ocrat to regard any such prospect
with patience. l believe in hard
money, and therein hold myself to
be true Jacksonian democrat"
He criticizes the reconstruction
measures of Congress as vital ques.
tions, saying, II will not argue the
unconstitutionality of reconstruc.
ton. The almost unanimous disin.
clination of republicans to allow it
to undergo the scrutiny of the Su-
preme Court, would seem to confirm
thereported statement the lament
cd Stevens, that only two damned
fools in the party believed the re-
construction acts constitutional.
Even Unconstitutional, Ishould doom
them unwise. The Union they i'm
pose is to my eyes no moro like a
true union of hands and hearts, than
. galvanized corpse resembles o
healthy man." Tho letter closes
~ think Mother tho interest nor
destiny Of this people will allow
permanent domination to the Afr.
can race in any State; but the ro-
publican party is irrevocably pledg-
cd to this idea. They have staked
their existence as party on its
triumph. To this idea they have
sacrificed their constitutional obliga.
tions, and for it they must make
fresh offerings. In future, blacks
must have lands, arms, and u stand
ing army to maintain them in their
position. They are clamoring for
them now, tho United States must
furnish them. The path upon
which Congress entered permits no
halt; retreat is ruin. We must be.
gin anew, taking the constitution
for our guide, and natural laws for
our limitations.
