AUGUST BELMONT, Chairman.
IMPEACHMENT OF THE RADICAL
PARTY,
Behold their Guilt +!

We give below, from the Boston Cojt-
rier, an enumeration of specific high
crimes and misdemeanors, of which the
Radical party, through its leaders and
agents in Congress, stands arraigned be-
fore the bar of the country. 1t will be
seen that the different counts embrace
every act subversive of the principles
of civil liberty, and equally derogatory
to the rights of the people:
|. 1t has set aside the Constitution of
the United States, the basis, pledge and
security for Republican freedom.
II. 1t has practically abrogated State
governments in the ten Southern States
ranging them in military districts, and
placing over those districts military
commanders.
III. 1t has deprived every white man
of his vote who would not aid in the
Radical plan of reconstruction"
". 1t has bestowed the power of
suffrage upon every negro disposed to
lend himself to that purpose.
V. 1t has substituted military COM
missions for the civil tribunals.
VI. 1t has thus taken away the con-
stitutional right of trial by jury.
VII. 1t has deprived the people OF
the sacred right of the writ of habeas
corpus.
VIII. 1t has prohibited free speech.
TX. 1t has broken and silenced a free
press.
X. 1t has inflicted "cruel and unusu-
al punishments"
XI. 1t has violated the right of the
people "to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers and ffectsagainst unrea-
sOnable searches and seizures"
XII. It has deprived the Executive
of his constitutional, just and necessary
powers, by means of which it was in
tended by the trainers of the Constitu-
ton that this "co-ordinate branch OF
the government" should help to main
tain due balance of authority, for the
common safety and welfare.
XIII. It has overawed that other CO.
ordinate branch of the government, the
Judiciary, which was also intended to
help maintain due balance of author
ity, for the common safety and welfare
by unconstitutional and threatening
legislation, so as to intimidate the Su-
preme Judicial tribunal and thus to pre-
vent the declaration of a judgment rea-
DIV to be pronounced, from which would
have flowed the necessary legal conse-
aucnces, that the whole series of recon-
structiOn acts was "unconstitutional,
revolutionary and utterly void"
XIV. Ithas required of the Southern
States taxation without allowing them
representation.
XIV. 1t denies the right of voting at
the coming election, to three of those
States, for noncompliance with its un-
constitutional, unjust and arbitrary de-
mands.
XVI. In order to maintain this mon
strous and iniquitous system of legls-
lation, it has been compelled to keep
up the public debt, instead of taking
steady economical means for ite reduc-
ton and gradual extinction; and, for a
period of peace almost as long as that
of the war, has ground down the peo-
pie by an ever increasing burden ofex-
tortionate taxation-the expenses of
the government in this fourth year al
ter the war, being more than six times
as much as in the year before the war

OUR DUTY.

In the hour of adversely, the patriot
who is devoted to principles which he
feels is right and just, never falters, but
with renewed energy again hotly enga-
ges i'm the conflict with wrong. He
battles not for Office or spoils, but for the
rightful administration of Government
and the perpetuationo of free institutions,
Higher than all merely personal con-
siderations does he esteem his country,
and on the alter of patriotism he
unhesitatingly sacrifices self. or
such men is the Democratic party COM.
posed, and for such there can be no
lasting defeat. They may meet with
temporary reverses, but it is only the
coward and the faint-hearted who are
not inspired by them to still more vig-
orous and persistent effort. Let us then
close upourranks and with unfiinching
determination prepare to renew our at
tack upon the enemies of the reserved
rights of the States and of the rights of
free people.
The labOring men OF the Nation
are with US. The men who left their
homes in foreign lands to enjoy the
blessings of fConstitutionalgo government,
are with US. The ablest and most pa
triotic men, who have heretofore acted
with our opponents, are with us. We
can, if we will, gain victory next
month in Pennsylvania. But how?
We answer by simply performing
oar duty; which is to poll every DEM
ocratic vote in the State at the ap-
preaching Presidential election, and to
be like true men, superior to all the
bribes, threats or short-lived successes
of our corrupt, unscrupulous and revo-
lutionary Radical opponents York

The WhIskey Question Again.

The difference OF opinion between the
authorities Of the Revenue Department and
the distillers on the question whether re
dlstiliation is rectifcation if done within a
certain distance from the still IN which the
whiskey is first produced, is waxing quite
warm. The Revenue Department, it ap-
pears, is willing to concede that the whis-
key after its first distillation may be re-
turned to the still from which it came with
out making the manufacturer liable to be
taxed as rectiier, but to pass it into a
second still on the same premises is VIC
lation Of the law. The distilers call this
decision distinction without difference,
and say that the reasoning is SO very ex-
act that it is impossible for any other than
the most acute legal mind in the country
to distinguish wherein the construction OF
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue diff
fers from that given by the whiskey men.
This nice point is now before the Attorney
General, and his opinion is looked for be-
fore the close of the present week.

A large and enthusiastic Seymour and
Blair meeting, OF the citizens of Duplin
and adjoining counties, was held at War
saw on Thursday, the ODD inst. Notwith-
standing the rain the day before, Thursday
being clear day, there was large turn
out. At II o'clock a procession was
formed at the Depot, and the Democratic
colored band from Wilmington, with strains
of sweet music, escorted them to stand
erected in grove of pines.
On motion, G. W. Middleton, Esq, was
appointed Chairman, and Isham Royal
Secretary.
While this was going on, convention
was being held, in a separate place, to
nominate candidates for the Legislature,
to fill the vacancies caused by Col. w. A.
Allen and Isaac B. Kelly, Esq, not being
permitted to take their seats-on account
of political disabilities-whlch resulted in
the selection of Mr.. Scott, of Onslow, for
the Senate, and Capt. J. G. Mcmillan, of
Dup!in, for the House of Representatives.
The assemblage was addressed by Col.
IJ. S. Kenan, Democratic nominee for Con-
gress Capt. J. J. Davis, Elector for the
State at large; Maj. John Hughes, Elector
for this District ; Mr.. Scott and Capt Nc
MILAN. Abram Mckenzie, Louis Levy
John Stanford, colored speakers also ad-
dressed the meeting.
To attempt to give even an abstract of
the speeches would make this communion
ton quite lengthy. It is sufficient to say
that they were well received, and that the
speeches of Messrs. Kenan, Davis and
Hughes are having very good effect-that
many are now determined to vote the
Democratic ticket who were heretofore
careless and Indifferent.
When the speaking was over at the
stand, all marched down to the Depot to
witness the raising of Seymour and Blair
flag. The flag went up amid the sounds of
music. AS soon as it reached the top OF
the pole, L. A. Merriman, Esq, of Mag.
nolia, proposed three cheers for the flag,
which was heartily responded to by ali
present. A few appropriate remarks were
then made by Capt. J. J. Davis, and the
assemblage dispersed.
We never saw q more attentive assembly
on any occasion, nor more order observed.
