War Democracy in Connecticut.

War Democracy in Connecticut.
1t is not to be forgotten that Gov
ernor English, who has Just been
reelected in Connecticut, was and
is a War Democrat, put forward
and consenting to run when it was
evident that Peace Democrats of
the Seymour school stood no chance
of popular endorsement in the Nut
meg State. English is a Democrat
in the sense that Bryant, of the New
York Evening Post, General Dix,
our Minister to France, the Hon.
George Bancroft, and many others
who might be named, are Demo
Gratis. Some of these men prefer
still to act with the Republican par
ty, though upon tariff and finance
questions they agree with the DEM
ocracy. E.s sil .3.5gT
The Democracy of Connecticut
had the good sense to take step
in advance, two or three years ago.
They left the peace and non-coer-
cion leaders maundering and strag-
Cling in the rear, and with fresh,
bright men, who had taken an ac-
tive part in the war, and were strong
ly tinctured with anti slavery senti-
ments, for their leaders, marched
forward to victory. The party in
Connecticut came up to .English's
platform he did not descend to
theirs. .---
English would pass for an out
and out Republican in the West,
and would not be tolerated in a
Democratic Convention in Indiana,
Kentucky or Ohio. His Democra-
cy differs. as widely from the cur
rent article here as the ultraism of
Wendell Phillips from the conser-
vatism of such Republicans,a Spal-f
ding of Ohio. His election is
Democratic victory in name, not in
principle.-Ctn. Com.

General Meade's Advice.

The letter of General Meade which
Mr.. Stanton has sent to Congress at
it's demand, contains some very SEN
sible advice which will, we hope,
gain attention in Congress.
He shows that the vote. on the
Constitution, in Alabama, was S,144
less than one half the number of
registered voters; and of course the
Constitution was not ratified. Gen.
Meade writes: ..z....e. z..-.
"Acknowledging the Importance.
of the State being at the earliest mo-
ment restored to her proper. rela-
tions in the Union, 7 cannot but
look on the result of the recent
election as an expression of opinion
that the registered voters do not
desire to be restored under the Con-
| stitution submitted to them, and in
view of the recent act of Congress
giving ratification to a mojority of,
the votes cast, would prefer see
ing the Convention ressembled for
revision Of the Constitution, and
the revised constitution submitted
to the people under the new law.
l am of the opinion that revised
constitution, more liberal in it's
terms and confined to the require
ments Of the Reconstruction laws,
would, in Alabama-as L have rea-
son to expect it will in Georgia and
Florida-meet with the approval Of
the majority of the registered vo-
ters, and beg leave to call your at
tention to the difficulty of carrying
on government in state where SO
small a population-of those quail
fed to take part in the government
are in favor of organic law, and to
ensure larger proportion of what
must be the governing class, more
acceptable constitution should be
presented to them for adoption"
| General Meade refers here to the
clauses disfranchising men for opin-.
ions sake, which disfgured the
otherwise sensible Alabama Consti-
tuition. If the Constitutional Con-
vention can be recalled, and if it will
remove these foolish clauses, and
submit the amended Constitution to
a new vote, it would at least put a
very great responsibility upon those
who should then vote, against it.
For if the southern whites vote down
| a sound and liberal constitution they
will put themselves very much in
the wrong.-Ne,O York Post.

To the Mississippi Press.

The Central Executive Democratic
Committee, at Jackson, owe the press
of the State a debt of gratitude, which
they cannot fully repay. They have
ably and periodically seconded and
sustained all the acts of the Commit
tee, and by their energy, foresight and
zeal, enabled us to organize the State
and unite the people in solid and ir.
resistable column The Mississippi
phalanx now rivals the Macedonian
Let the press push on the column un-
til the closing Of the polls.
The press in every county are re-
quested to furnish all the tickets for
their counties, and see that their re-
spective Congressional Districts are
fully supplied with tickets, printed on
good substantial paper, so that eras-
ures can be made and names inserted
without plotting. The Democratic
Clubs and candidates in each county
will pay their bills.
By order of the committee.

Discussion at Brownsville, Kinds
County.

EDITOR CLARION A word of en-
cOuragement from one of our county
precincts may not be amlss, and may
tend to increase the zeal of our demo-
cratic friends in other localities.
Mr.. j. B. Clark met the Lion of Rad
acalism, at this point, to day, and ably
discussed the issues now before the
people of our State.
Lyncn, the Methodist parson--the
colored hireling-infiated with the i'm
portance ofhis mission in the South, :"
and of his high position in the ranks
Of the Radicals, for he is unquestion-
ably the head and front of his party
the most intelligent, and by far the
most honesty labored hard to allay the
resentment of the white people of the
South, and to obtain their federation
for the action of his party, end more
especially for. the part the negroes are
taking in their attempted wholesale
robbery of the white mans birth right.
But his policy was patent to Mr. Clark,
who yielded. the parson the privilege
to convert as many white souls as he
could, while he would try to convince
the black man of his error, and lead
him into the light, where he could OBJ
tain polical salvation before it be ever
lastingly too late
We are now, more than ever, salts
fled that individual effort In putting the
question fairly and honestly before
the colored population, is the duty of
our people, and that if each and euery
man does his duty, the Constitution
will be defeated, and the evil day post
poned.
To close without word of thanks
and congratulations to our friend, DR..
Banks, of Clinton, would be emitting
part of our duty as reporter of the
day. After the discussion by Mr.. Clark
and the parson, DIR. Banks, at the So
licitation of many friends, notwith-
standing fhe presence of several coun-
ty candidates, mounted the stand, and
for thirty minutes, enchanted the black
as we'll as white man, with his argu-
ments, SO well adapted to the former :; J
and his pithy, well timed anecdotes,
told well upon the entire crowd, which
at the close of his speech, dispersed
in the most perfect good humor.
Brownsville is all right.
Yours truly. G.

ALAMUTCHA, June Is, 1868.

Mr.. Editor On yesterday, (Fri-
day. one of the most interesting,
cheering and enthusiastic political
meetings was held at this place, that
has assembled here since many years
past.
1t had been previously announced
that Judge NJ III. Whitaker, Capt. S.
A. D. Steel and others would address
the people on that day.
Early in the morning the citizens of
the surrounding country began to as
semble, particularly the colored popu-
lation, and by II o'clock, a very con-
siderable audience was present.
Judge Whitaker first took the ros-
trun, and entertained his hearers for
more than two hours in a manner of
style, and cogency of argument that
were truly effective.
Capt. Steel followed with speech,
which, for more than an hour, spell
bound the audience, which dispelled
the wavering, and carried conviction
to the minds of many of the colored
people, that it is their interest to CO.
operate with the Democracy.
He was followed by Messrs. j. 2.
Massey and Henry Massengale, color
ed gentlemen, who did themselves
much honor in displaying such unex-
pected traits of defamation, which in
duced, even number of the deluded
Loyal Leaguers, to renounce their
former faith, and register on the side

ored people are wavering-they want
Internationally have seer but one

Clerk of Chickasaw county, showing

of Chickasaw county, for ''stealing,
taking and carrying away three bales
of cotton, of the value of one hundred
dollars eaeh-the personal property
of Simon Myers-contrary to the
statute in such cases made and provi-
ded, and against the peace and digni-

This able, jealous and indefatigable
servant of the peoples cause has made
the canvass of Perry, Davis, Green
and other counties, and his numerous
friends and admirers report the most
successful results of his labors.
The Executive Committee at Jack
SON beg to express to him their spec
ial thanks for that important service,
as they know of no gentleman on
whom they could rely better to canvass
those counties. ~
Let every member of the Bar and
of the community who loves his
country go and do likewise until the
last day of the election, and the victo-
ny will certainly be ours.
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1868-06-18

The election week Is near at hand,
and we feel it our duty to urge upon
the Democratic Clubs the necessity of
watching well the ballot box. They
should appoint their committees, and
have them at every precinct These
committees should note well the seals
that are put upon the boxes, and see
that no illegal votes are cast.
The Washington masters of these
Radicals tools, who were sent here to
subserve their purposes, have decreed
that this election must be carried-they
care not whether by fair means Or foul
They know that it is, at best, but
mockery. They have never intended
that it should be the true wishes the
people of the South, spoken through
the silence Of the ballot box, therefore
this, their dirty work, has been placed
in the hands of men who will stoop to
anything that is base and unfair
Everything that the ingenuity of man
can suggest will be done that the vic
tory may be theirs. We must use our
energies, and the little remaining rights
that we have, to the end that they be
not permitted to follow the maxim
practiced by their brethren in Arkan-
sas, which was to "vote early and vote
often" This will be attempted here.
The election order requires that the
boxes should be opened to the public
view, on the morning of the first day,
then it is to be locked and sealed by
the registrars. Would it not be we'll
for our committees to put their seals
upon them also? It surely can do no
harm The hole IN the top of the
box, wherein the ballot is placed, must
be sealed every evening in public, and
opened at the next precinct, also in
public. Would not the Democratic
committee seals again be useful here
Thus they will carry the boxes from
precinct to precinct, receiving the vote
of each precinct at its respective poll
Each voter will be required to show
his certificate of registration, and by
the order each certificate must be
written across by the registrars, Civ
ing date of the vote being cast, &c
The registrars must not be permitted
to forget this most important part Of
the performance. These will be the
duties Of the committees.
There will also be duty for each
and every Democrat in the State to
perform. 1t will be to watch their
Republican employees and neighbors
The boxes are to again be opened al
some convenient point in the county
for the reception Of all votes uncast in
the county. It will be often tried to
have some of these precinct votes re-
cast
If your employee, who has voted
leaves upon that general voting day
follow him and report to the commit
tees that they may be on the look out
for his vote. Win for the Democratic
ticket, and against the Constitution all
the votes you can.
Remember that if we do not win, in
this contest, that yourself, your chill
dren, and your ckildren's children,
may not see the end of this infamous
rule of Radicalism. This may be the
last vote that you will ever be permit
ted to cast in peace-Aen be sure thai
goa cote yourself.

HE FOLLY OF OUR OWN PARITY
From various portions of the country
we hear of Democratic candidates that
are Ineligible to office,i case the ssnew
constitution is adopted Let all
such, if they lay claim to particle of
patriotism, withdraw from the canvass
at once, so that others. even of less
ability, may take the field, and upon
election, pass all the tests by which
they may be tried. This is the hour of
our country''s trial, and woe be to the

Letter from COpiah. Interesting
Discussion.
HAzELHURsT, June Is,

HAZELHURsT, June Is, 1868.
Editor Cloriom:-I attended the Bar
bacue and speaking at the Shepherd
Field, Copiah county, on Saturday
last. 1t was day that will long be
remembered by the friends of equal
rights. The people gathered in at an
early hour, both white and colored
The crowd was estimated to reach near
five hundred. Col. Ben. King opened
the ball and stated the issues fairly
and squarely-exposed the. hideous
features Of the proposed Constitution
in a mastery manner-showed that
every man who takes the oath required
to register after the adoption of the
Constitution will swear falsely-be-
cause he swears to admit the political
and civil equality of all men, when in
fact more than twenty thousand of the
best citizens of the State are denied
that right under the Constitution. Mr..
Saml. T. Harvey, candidate for the
Legislature on the Radical ticket, fol-
lowed Col. King, and made pretty
good speech, considering his text,
though committed many errors. for
which he paid dearly when King re-
Piled to him in his rejoining speech
ID. w. McRae followed King, who ex-
posed the whole system in his usual
cool and impassionate manner, which
chained the audience, for more than
thfse quarters of an hour. The col
ored people paying marked attention
to every word that was spoken.
Scipio, colored man, who followed
the 18th Mississippi Regiment through
the Virginia campaign, was then called
Tor, who came forward and made
few remarks, fully identifying himself
with the Democratic party and advised
his colored friends to support the
Democratic ticket. That that was the
only party who cared for the interest
OF the colored man.
Daniel King, colored man former
/ y the DO ly servant of Hon. Ben.
hlng, rose smiling and endorsed all
that his friend Scipio had said, and
then pictched into Mr.. Saml. p. Har
vey, and asked where was Samuel p.
Harvey when the brave men of this
country were fighting for freedom and
equal rights :? answered the cues
ton himself.
Judge L. O. Bridewell then appeared
and entertained the audience for some
time, exposing and holding up to
public gaze this hideous and damna-
bic Constitution that the people of
mississippi are called upon to ratify
and fasten upon themselves for all
time to come.
Col. John B Deason was then
called for, and came forward and made
a short but interesting speech, expos
ing many of the outrageous and une-
qual features Of the new Constitution.
After Col Deason concluded. sew
eral colored men came forward (whose
names do not remember) and fully
endorsed the Democratic principles.
and although. they were men of no
education, they have good minds and
fully understand the crisis and ex-
horted their colored brethren to
stand by the Democracy shoulder to
shoulder.
