ED1roR PHGN1x: Have YOU siust,

EDITOR PHOENIX: Have you sjust
now found out the true ccharac-
ter Of the New York World? II SO,
it islnotto be expected that the mass
of the Southern people, thousandsof
whom hive been readers of that pa
per during the last three years.:
should know anything Of its real
character. For the information of
your numerous country readers, per-
NIT the statement of few facts in
reference to that sheet, and its lprin-
cipal editor, DIr. Manton Marble. It
is not many years since he was the
editor OF one of the vilest abolition
sheets in the United States. For
awhile, after he took charge of the
World, h advocated openly the
principles of tho abolition party:
Finding that he could not make it
pay to run the concern, in the city of
New York, in the interests of that
party, he went over to the Democra-
cy for consideration, and became a
cIamorous war Democrat. Since the
cessation of hostilities, he has said n
good many things in favor of the
cause of justice; but, in all this time,
he has never changed his principles.
He is an abolitionist at heart, as he
admitted when he appealed to that
party for help, telling them he would
be compelled to sell himself to the
Democracy, unless he could get help
from the party of his choice; and
assuring them that it would be one
of the bitterest hours of his life
when he should be compelled to 90
over to the Democracy. He is a
regular Cossack, fighting for pay,
and is employed by the bond-holders
to advocate their cause. Having no
love for Democracy, he is willing to
sanction all the wrongs and outraces
inflicted on the South by the party in
power, and to perpetuate them, even
the last and most damnable one of
all, the elevation of the negro race to
position of political superiority
over the white race, if thereby he can
subserve the interests Of those who
pay him to betray the Democracy
into the hands of the enemies of
civil liberty. No Southern man who
loves his native land, and his own
race, should contribute one cent to
the support of the vile hypocrite who
flies the Democratic colors at the
masthead of his piratical craft mere
ly for the purpose of leading the
Democracy over into the camp Of the
enemy. C.

A radical committee waited upon
General Stoneman, soon after his
appointment as Commander of Vir-
ginia, and urged the expedienoy of
an early election on the ratification
or disapproval of the new Constitu-
tion. General Schoield had before
refused to permit an election, and
General Stoneman informed the COM
mittee that the matter was now be-
fore Congress. Since then, the radi-
calls plainly show that they are afraid
to urge the matter, as it is highly
probable the election would 60
against them.

VIEWS OF CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE.
A special telegram to the Richmond
Dispatch. dated Washington, June
18, 1868, says:
The following is published in the
Euening Union, to-day, as an authori-
tative embodiment of the views of
Chief Justice Chase. It embraces
the exact words of his replies to GER
tain questions propounded to him by
distinguished Democrats:
Universal suffrage is q recognized
Democratic principle, the application
of which is to be left in the several
States, under the Constitution of the
United States, to the States them
selves. Universal amnesty and COM
plete removal of all disabilities on
account of participation in the late
rebellion, is not only wise and just
measure of public policy, but essen
TALLY necessary to the beneficial ad-
ministration of government in the
States recently involved in civil war
with the United States, and to the
full and satisfactory establishment
of the practical relations of those
States with the other States Of the
American Unioa. No military 60
vernment over any State of the
Union, in time of peace, is compatible
with the principles of civil liberty
established by the Constitution; nor
can the trial of private citizens by
military commissions be tolerated by
a people jealous of their freedom and
desiring to be free. Taxes should be
reduced as far as practicable, collected
impartially and with strict economy,
and so apportioned as to bear on pro-
perty rather than upon labor. And
while all national obligations should
be honestly and exactly fulfilled, no
special privileges should be allowed
tc any classes, or individual, or cor
porations."

SCHUYLER CoLFAx ON FOREIGNERS
AND CATHOLICS. Schuyler .Colfax,
the radical candidate for Vice.Presi.
dent. was "Know Nothing" in 1854,
aud did take the two following oaths,
or obligations:
FIRST DEGREE.-"In the presence
of Almighty God and these witness,
es, yon1 do solemnly promise and
vote, nor give your influence, for any
man, for any Office in the gift of the
people, unless he be an American.
born citizen, in favor of Americans
ruling America, nor if he be q Roman
Catholic. +,
SECOND DEGREE. I'm the presence.
OF Almighty God and these witnesses,
you do solemnly and sincerely swear
= n if it may be legally done,
you will, when elected or appointed
to any official station comforting on
you the power to do so, remove all
foreigners, aliens or Roman Catholics
from Office or place, and that you will
IN no case appoint such to any,
office or place in your gift"
Here we have Colfax prescribing
foreigners and Catholics as a class.
But he does not denounce or pro-
scribe the negroes as q class. The
blacks are his especial favorites, in
whose behalf the. whole power of the
Government is to be exerted, and,
who are to be fed, clothed and
lodged Mt the expense Of the people
of the United States. -

The New York Herald speaks of
South Carolina as having two sets Of
delegates. The Herald is mistaken.
1t is true, that they were appointed,
some by one Convention. and some
by another; but the whole represent
the Democracy of the entire State.
and cannot be regarded as different
sets. ne,

The Lato Democratio Fasioa.

The Lato Democratio Fusioa.
The Camden Journal, in referring
to the compromise made between the
State Central Executive Committee
and the late Convention of Demo-
Gratis held here, says:
.The one,$party claims that ros
cognition of negro suffrage has been
stricken from tho platform, while the
Pheni.c declares that it is simply left
open. It will be o matter Of con-
struction, and may be manipulated,
we suppose, to suit the purposes of
either party; but surely it is due to
plain people, who only desire to
know the truth, that the gentlemen
who concocted these resolutions
should agree as to what they meant
by them"
We had not intended alluding to
this subject again; but as the intima-
ton is given that the arrangement
consummated may have been de-
signedly left ambiguous, for one we
disclaim the design. We desire no
idea Of this sort to attach to the COM
promise, and we are satisfied that we
represent in this the feelings of all
the gentlemen concerned. We re-
gard each Convention as standing
upon its principles. It is true, that
organic differences Of opinion were not
harmonized, but concert of action
was agreed upon, and, abating no.
thing of fidelity to the platform of
the April Convention, in oil of its
features, the representatives of that
Convention could very we'll subscribe
to the doctrine of "the supremacy
and government of the white race"
set forth in the resolutions of the
June Convention, since they hold
Tor we at Least held, and we presume
they also,) that the best way to secure
this object is by taking up the role of
qualified suffrage. Now, upon this
point, this was in substance the COM
promise and harmony effected: It
was agreed first that it would be un-
wise for South Carolina to precipitate
the proposition of qualified suffrage
upon the National Democratic Con-
vention; and, secondly, that it was
unnecessary and useless for us to
divide here upon that question since,
although the April Convention had
announced its adhesion to the doc
trine of qualified suffrage, yet it was
not now a practical question as be-
tween the people of the State, for
the reason that it could not come up
at this time for the popular judgment
to pass upon its merits. Hence, it
was agreed to adjourn the issue
upon the question-the June Conven-
ton leaving the matter as it found it,
and satisfied to stand upon the plat
form that "this is a white mans Go
vernment," and to leave the question
of suffrage to the States.

EXECUTION OF O'FARREL1. THE
WoULD-BE ASSASSIN OF PRINCE AL.
FRED-HIs CONFESSION. The Duke
of Edinburg, it seems, attempted
before leaving Australia to obtain q
reprieve for O'Farrell, but the Colo
nial Secretary would not hear of it.
The condemned man preserved his
composure and cheerfulness to the
verylulast. When brought out for
execution, he walked with O firm.
steady, even step, his chest thrown
out, his head erect, his whole de-
meanor that of soldier about to be
put to death for some petty infrac-
ton of military discipline, rather
than that of murderer and felon.
He was dressed in suit of some gray
material, his boots were polished, his
linen spotlessly clean, aud his neck
tie neatly and carefully arranged. At
the foot of the scaffold he knelt in
prayer with his confessor, then arose
and shaking off the proffered arm of
the hangman, ran lightly and quickly
up the steps, looked up to see the
position of the rope and ranged him
self directly under it. AS he again
raised his eyes, apparently in prayer.
the cap was drawn over his face, and
the bolt instantly drawn, which sent
him into eternity. His death was
immediate. He left the following
statement:
"Being now about to appear be-
fore my Creator, 1 feel it my duty to
give expression to my heartfelt sor-
row for the grievous crime I have
committed. From the very bottom
of my heart do 1 grieve for what 1
have done. I have hitherto said
that I was one of many who were
prepared to do the deed had I not
done it. I had not the slightest
foundation for such q statement. I
was never connected with any man or
any body of men who had for their
object the taking of the life Of the
Duke of Edinburg. Never was I, in
any other than On indirect manner.
connected with that organization, in
ireland and elsewhere, which is
known by the name of the Fenian
organization. [ wish, moreover,
to assert that there was not
q human being in existence who had
the slightest idea of the object I had
in view when I meditated on, and,
through the merciful providence of
God, failed in carrying into effect
the death of the Duke of Edinburg.
l have written to the printers of two
Irish periodicals an address to the
people Of Ireland; and, so certain
was 1 of the death of the Duke of
Edinburg, that L stated therein, that
which believed would bo the fact,
and l think have more than implied
that was but one of an organization
to carry the same into effect. I need
but say that the truth of the latter
portion rests upon slighter founda-
tion than the former; in fact, that,
unless from mere hearsay, I had no
foundation for saying there was
Fenian association in New South
Wales. From continually thinking
and talking of what I may still be
allowed to call the wrongs Of Ireland,
L became excited and filled with
on the subject, and it
was while under the influence of
those feelings that I attempted to
the deed for which am
most justly called upon to suffer-.

The Count says the number of,
