The following eloquent appeal Of the Ten

est praise. The House has already anticips-
ted the appeal, and we have no hesitation in
predicting that the Senate will DO its part
faithfully, pasrioticnlly and wisely, The
name Of every member of our delegation who
has taken his seat is appended to the paper,

To ihr Senate and House Of Representatives, Of

The undersigned, citizens Of the State,
your Coustituents, and personal and political

YOU will repeal the f61h' section of an act
passed February %. 1857, commonly known
rs the Franchise act, thus giving full effect
to the principle on which is based our re-
stored State government, by obliternting from

has heen no blame and which neither time

stead. senior editor of the Cincinnati CONNER
ciai. not having the fear of Forney, Bullock 4
Co. before his eyes, writes these plain truths
about that interesting class yclept "carpet-
baggcrs."
There are already Senator'S here from Ar
kansas. The new South Carolina Senators are
expected soon to arrives 1t IL anticipated that
Republicans throughout the North will, upon
the appearance OF these men, break forth in
songs of thanksgiving over a restored Union,
and of praise at the faithful action of this wise
congress. We beg to call halt on that propo-
,ition. DO we want any more rotten borough
state. in the Union? Could anything be
more fatal to our perpetual public content and
We have enough of them now Nevada and
Nebraska that should yet for years have been
Territories, are as weighty In that Senate that
proposes to rule the nation. as New York and
Ohio. Now, there Is no reason to believe that
the persons presenting themselves here as
senators of the United States from Arkansas
and South Carolina, represent even the ne
grOes IN these States. They are adventurers
representatives Of little more than their own
aulacity; and they will become. If permitted
to enter the Senate. the most abject of party
seri<, because they will have no possible VI
talty outside their party. This may be rec
oluniendation to Congress, but | do not believe
it Is to the people. lfthe Arkansas and South
Carolina reconstruction Is the sort of thing
Ben. Wade Is wanted In the White House Il
promote The less we have of il the better.
