DE4n SIR,-In my previous communications, I
hsye endeayorod to give you faithful account
of theconditiol! of affairs in tho East, and the :
prospects for the success Of the Democratic party
in the Fall Elections. Since my last, I think the
prospect moro encouraging than ever. People
are beginning to open tteir eyes to thoir own in
tereats and cannot, from sheer necessty, support
o Government which requires snch stapendous
amount Of money to carry out Its pernicious de-
signs against ansjoppresscd and .do1n-trodden
section of our common country. The immense
ainountsof qmoney which has been collected by
the Government: sincefhe close Of the swar, and
squandsred by Government officials without de-
tracing one dollar from the National Debt but
rather increasing said dobt, has had the efsctot
forcing the mas,es to think tseriouslyy and zee
plainly to. what state and condition the country
must he brought, If the Radicals ara thus allowed
to continue their seo66ssfes upon tho people5 in
their attempt to noagselizs this &c Great White
M4n's Country" Whymy dear Sir, ;orer tieen,
hundred millions of Dollars have been collected
in Taxes since the close Of war-one.halfsil ils
national debt, and that debt greater today hqnit
,oas three years ago.. The South, though poor,
has borne her share ofsthis terrible ta1ation.
The North, ladened with plenty, asborpo byfar

Look al the Mopprelized LEGISLATURE, ,seif' Of our
hwn State whose Halls were once houored by the
presence Of. such noble men as Gafg ,SB4tler,
Hampton, Aldrieh, and others. Now these places
are filled by there's and 6ah'ai'rs--thrown inE
there as a." war mcasuse,"-to rife the pockets
of the nlrcady 'poVerty-str:cken people, and to
hold tho iron rod Of despotism and Of tyranny
over tbcit. heads Look Mt tho large standing
