WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The Alabama legisla.

Gov. Smith is with the party, by request of the
Legislature, 10 advise and support the delegation.
He has official function to perform here In con.
nection with the application for troops.
he is OF opinion, however, that the action of the
Legislature. though unusual in form, meets the
requirement of the Constitution in the matter of
securing federal aid for Alabama. He does not
fully sympathise with the Legislature in its call
for additional troops and expressed his confidence
in ais own ability by civil machinery to maintain
the peace Of the State. Tie people desire peace
and he has assurance from men of both parties Of
support in his efforts to that end. He says there
is some disorder on the line of the Tennessee
river and north of Mobile, but elsewhere through.
out the State there are no indications of disturb.
ances ana no disposition to resist the law. and in
no other portion Of the State has any officer who
has been regularly installed in Office been resisted

is apprehensive that during the excitement Of the
coming election, imprudent parties may commit
acts which will lead TO serious disturbances, ua.
less restrained by some assurance from the presi-
dent that they will be promptly put down by fed
eral authority. Beyond this assurance Governor
Smith is inclined to think that no federal inter-
ference is necessary at present.

The Polsono lPill.

The Legislature pro. ten. has as the

Its object is to conciliate dishonest
debtors throughout tho State, and al.
though tho courts will undoubtedly
foil tho game, and disappoint the OK,
pootations Of those who, like the
Apothecary in Romeo and Juliet, when
dealing in arsenic, will salvo thoir
consoionces by saying, ''my poverty,
not my will, consents" it may still be
useful to describe tho qualities of tho
poison in this sugarcd pill. 1t is OF
tho most deadly species. 1t has be-

Men in society hold their property
undor the law. Unless their title is a
sood legal title, they hold their pro.
pcrty by tho procarious tenure of
chance or transient force. Whatever
property then, any man in tho State
owns, he owns by virtue of hor laws.
Now new laws, it is settled principle
of justice, should apply equally to all.
Tho Legislature cannot justly tax A.
to the extent Of ono-half of his income
and 3. to tho extont Of only ono, tenth,

me leave, however, to say that I carhcstl,
hope that my fclow-citizens will cndors,
and ratify the nominees, and accept tho dc
claration Of principles lately put forth
Our Democratic friends at the North have
taken high ground in our behalf, and We
ought fully and freely to work for them and
for ourselves. Raaicalism seeks at tho
North to destroy the free institutions of tho
land, and, at the South, in addition thereto.
to build The fortunes of tho negro upon tho
ruin Of the Whites and impiously seeks I'd
establish tho supre macy Of tho inferior
race. 10 this, the white men of the South
will not basely submit. They will resis,
thls by every peaceful means at their COR.
mana. The means at present is party or.
g"nl2ation and union with the Southern and
Northern Democracy. Let us make this in.
slrumentality as effective rs possible. Ict
every District do its part; Let every Dcfio.
crat In each histricrdo his part, and even
South Carolina may be enabled to cast her
votes FOR the Democratic candidates.
Nor should the colorcd voters fail 70
give the suffrage which has been eivcn to
them by Congress to The Democratic Candi-
dates. BY accepting the vote assigned to
MIN by that party, tho ultimate interest Of

Mr.. Editor /:

Mr.. Editor:
Tho Iloreb Democratic Club had set apart
Saturday last, tho 18th, inst, for tho pur-
pose of holding n public political meeting
in which both parties wero cordially invited
to participate in public debate. The lea
guors and radicals Of the deepest dye were
requested to bring their most efficient
speakers for the purpose of discussing (dis-
passionatcly) all matters relating to the po
itcal contest a committee was appoint
cd by the Club to procure speakers for tho
occnsion, and we regret to say that, al
though having tho highest assurance from
several distinguished gentlemen that they
would be In attendance, they failed to
come This was sad disappointment, and
much to bercgrcttcd as tho Radical party
had turned out in considerable numbers.
There were several excellent brief addresses
mado them by different members Of the
Club, yet, l fcnr II had not as desirable an ef-
feet as if they had been discourscdt TO by gen
tlcmcn better posted and moro accustomed
to public speaking, and also "from afar."
The opposite party had also failed to get
spokcslhcn, and wc propose to try it over on
Saturday, the lst of August, when VIC
trust to meet with better stcccss. Perhaps
it would not be amiss before closing this, to
mention q littlo incident that occurred at
the meeting which will serve to illustrate
the kind and generous feeling the Demo
| Gratis have for thoir colored brethren. X
MAS brought to tho notice of the Club by n
member present, that we had enrolled on
our books very aged and inirm coorcd
man, who had voted tho Democratic ticket
and had all his life borne a good character
for honesty and fidelity, and rs freedom had
robbed him of his hitherto kind protector,
he had no one left able to provide or take
care of him, and he was in most destitute
if not suffering condition, aid was solicited
I in his behalf, which resulted in tho col!ec@
ton of some seven or eight dollars in mon
ey, besides donations of corn, flour, &C..
| ever minaiul OF that resolution, "That We
regard it as our duty at all times and undo,
all circumstances to afford aid and protec.
zion TO those of our colorcd population who
dlsregarding the deceptive persuasions Of
Northern and Southern ronegadcs cast their
lots with us, tho righ,ful inhcrito.s of this
