Of each State respectively, and that any
attempt by Congress-, on any pretext what
ever, to deprive any State Of this right, or
to interfere with its exercise, is fragrant
usurpation of power which can find no
warrant in the Constitution; and, if sane
of Government, and can only end in q
single centralized and consolidated Co.
,vernment, in which the separate existence
of the States will be entirely absorbed, and
an unqualified despotism be established
in place of Federal Union Of co equal
States; and that we regard the reconstruc-
tion Acts (so-called) Of Congress- as such
volutionary, and void; that our soldiers
and sailors, who carried the flag Of our
country to victory against most gallant
and determined foe, must ever be CRATE
fully remembered, and oil She guarantees
given in their favor must be faithfully car
rled into execution.
That the public lands should be distri-
buted as widely as possible among the
people, and should be disposed of either
under the pre-emption of homestead lands.
and sold in reasonable quantities. and to
none but actual occupants, at the mini
mum price established by the Government.
When grants of the public lands may be
allowed, necessary for the encouragement
of important public improvements, the
proceeds of the sale of such lands, and not
the lands themselves, should be so ap-
piled.
That the President Of the United States,
Andrew johnson, in exercising the power
OF his high Office in resisting the aggres-
sions of Congress upon the constitutional
rights of the States and the people, is en-
titled to the gratitude of the whole Ameri
can people, and in behalf Of the Democra-
tic party, we tender him our thanks for his
patriotic efforts in that regard. ~
Upon this platform, the Democratic
the conservative clement and all who de-
sire to support the Constitution and re-
store the Union, forgetting all past differ
ences of opinion, to unite with us in the
present great struggle for the liberties of
the people; and that to all such, to what
ever party they may have heretofore be-
longed, we extend the right hand of fol-
iowship, and hail all such cooperating
with us as friends and brethren.

INCENDIARIsM IN FAIRFIELD-.A
FACT FOR THE NORTH. meeting
of at least thousand blacks, held at
Blackstock, last Saturday week, and
attended by Loyal Leagues from
Chester and elsewhere, and which
perhaps was the largest meeting of
blacks ever held in Fairfield District,
a gentleman informs lis that he heard
the most popular of their speakers
use the following language:
"Now, my friends, you hear the
white people make good deal of
talk about their heavy losses by
black men stealing. But do they lose
anything by it? No, they don't; for
you work for them. and they get it
back in your labor. Suppose it's
something to eat that black man
steals, it makes him stronger, and the
white people get it hack IN HE labor.
Suppose he sells what he steals, and
buys clothing, don't he work for the
white people, and don't they get
back what he stole to buy clothes
with in his labor?" Immense ap-
plause)
LIS comment neccessaryp We tell
the people of the North, that the pa
tience and forbearance of Southern
men towards these foolish semi-bar-
barians, temporarily converted into
our rulers, finds no parallel in history.
Through large tracts of country, nine
tenths of the stock has been killed,
and small depredations without num-
Der are committed daily, which would
long since have exasperated any set of
Northern farmers to an uncomfortable
pitch of fury and vengeance.
