Letter from Holly Springs.
Holly SPRryes. Miss. AUG .25. 1Sf

HOLLY SPRINGS, Mss, Aug. 25, 1868.
To The Editor Of the Bulletin
Though I am stranger in your little
town and have never enjoyed the pleasure
of visit to it, still I am well acquainted
with it, from the wide reputation given to
the generous citizens and beautiful springs
by hundreds of summer visitors. 1t is sufi-
cient for me to know that it is a spot on the
bosom of dear Tennessee o o'er which the
lash of subjugatIon hangs, where 100000 Of
my native countrymen are deprived of the
rights and privileges of freemen, by paitry
set of cravens, too loathesome for even birds
of prey, who have so long contaminated our
Capitol halls with their negroized presence
To-day my heart bleeds in pity for my once
loved State, when / think Of her noble
sons, her proud daughters, being crushed by
white and black negroes, who are robbing
her Of wealth, and subjecting her to every
insult Shall that state of government last
much longer? If it does, then the immense
increasing State debt, the wanton waste of
the public funds, with such periured peni-
potentiary thieves to control, will soon bring
US to bankruptey-repu This must
not be. Our people must al ouse themselves,
grid on the armor of perseverance, and work
like the gallant State of Mississippi did to
throw off the shackles which already bind
you. l am proud indeed to see the noble
spirit Of resistance to tyrants by Mississip-
Tiov,s or fbn Eoll lot hrv = .lC
know that the freedmen are joining the De
mocracy and are fast becoming disgusted
with radical rule The time has come when
We must fight them with their own weapons,
for our dear sunny lane must be saved her
blue skies and sunlit cline must not smile
longer on desolated homes; her green hills,
her forests and vine-clad dales must not
echo the hideous yells of semi-barbarians.
1t is ours-God given and inherited, broad
and bright, beautiful in her sorrow, conse-
Grated by sacred blood of sons, brothers and
sires. We win neverl never surrender
such glorious land to ignorant African and
Northern hireIings Nor viii we submit TO
bevsoverned by them; for when the hour
comes to strike the usurpers down, in our
brave men they will find each James OF
Scotland, each declaring that
Sooner shall this rock fly
From its firm base than l.
To those good and true men, our gallant
standard-bearers, Seymour and Blair, we
look for deliverance, and the glorious news
that comes to US from the North and West
is traught with meaning, as State after State
wheels into the line of Democracy, and once
more, like a lovely dream Of beauty, hangs
from the rose-hued horizon the bright, sill
very star of hope.
Oh, mag it shine forever there,
No cloud gloom its glimmOring ray
Oh, may it hang divnely fair
TIL brightly dawns the beauteous day.
FLORENCE.

Organize, Organize!

The editor of the Murfreesboro' (IlL) dr.
gus thus appeals to those who desire the
election of Seymour and the defeat of the
Radical party
Democrats, rally around your standard
! bearers What you now most need, and at
the present time more than ever before, Is
not enthusiasm, for you have enough Of that;
nor determination, for you are resolved TO
vindicate your glorious cause by success
nor tOrttude, for you have borne, for the
sake of law and order, insults and outrages
enough to stir fever Ia the blood Of age
What you now need is ORGANIZATION
Every township and school district ought to
be promptly and efficiently organized for the
contest now waging so fiercely; the result
of which viii either bring US back to good
old Democratic times, when political equality
and equal taxation, with white men to legis-
late, was the pride>Of every American citi-
zen; or on the contrary, viii obliterate the
last ray of hope of free Government, and IN
its stead will raise the military Nabobs, the
most unprincipalled satraps the course of
God ever settled down upon any people Op-
posed to the Democracy is a league, sworn
and secret dangerous and deviiish; working
by bribes, by threats, by mObs, by spies al
by caves droppers; and backed by one hatf
Of the revenue paid into the treasury, VIII ch
the internal corruptionists convert from Its
legitimate use to that of a radical lectioneer-
ing fund, to secure which they have wasted
millions Of the peoples hard earned money
in the name and under the disguise Of con-
tracts; and for which alone is the tariff leg
islated upon the back of every poor man who
is so unfortunate as not to have secured his
untaxed bonds.
Now to meet and battle this enginery, let
US unite III clubs enroll our voters; circu-
late documents containing wholesome truths;
charge home upon the rotten corruptionists
who are now robbing the poor and filing the
lorlly mansions of the aristocrats, for the
time has come when their cruel expressions,
their periuries, their violations Of law, he
prodical waste of public money and all the
crimes Of which full catalogue would fill q
volume which they have committed since
their fatal accession to power, can be no
longer borne by hardw0rking free people.
Let the old men and the young men turn
out to the club meetings; and take with
them all Republicans who for the sake Of
country, viii rise above party prejudice.
We daily hear of many Republicans who
are determined to act with the Democratic
party during the present contest, and the
Democracy welcome them to their midst.
Again we say, ORGANIZE ORGAN

THE PLATFORM.

intelligence, patriotism and discriminating
Justice Of the people; standing upon the
Constitution as the foundation and imita-
ton Of the powers of the Government and
the guarantee of the liberties of the citizen !;
and recognizing the questions of slavery and
secession as having been settled for all time
to come by the war or the voluntary action
of the Southern States IN Constitutional
Conventions assembled, and never to be re
newed or reagiUated do with the return of
peace, demand,
l. Immediate restoration of all the States
to their rights in the Union under the Con-
stitution and civil government of the Ameri-
can people.
2 Amnesty for all past political offenses,
| and the regulation of the elective franchise
/ IN the States by their citizens, and the pay
ment Of the public debt Of the United States
/ as rapidly practicable.
! 3. All money drawn from the people by
! taxation, except so much as is requisite for
/ the necessities Of the Government, economi-
/ cally administered, should be honestly ap-
