A SPECK OF WAR.

That "war of races so long pre-
dieted by the Democracy has broken
out IN a fiercely waged wordy war
fare between the New York World
and Val. the Dime. We call it "a
swar of races, because the Democ-
racy claim that they are race or
dained and established by the in
scrutable wisdom OF God and being
so established, are entitled to rule
the country. When there are no
offices to be fought for the party is
one undivided race, bu5 when spoils

SECRETARY OF safe.

Below will be found cOmmunica-
ton from the State Journal, recon-
mending DIR. James Williams to the
consideration of the people for can
didate for Secretary of State. We
have nothiag to add to what We said
last week regarding the matter, other
than that several of our citizens are
acquainted with DIR. Williams, per-
sonally and by repnte, and favor his
nomination -...
Among the nominations to be made
at the Union Republican Stats. Con-
vention, to assemble on March 4th
next, is that of a candidate for Sec
retary Of State. For this Office the
name Of DIR. James Williams, of
Franklin county, is proposed. The
ability and energy displayed by DR.
Williams, in organizing and exeeu-
ting the process of getting the sol
dieTs' cote in the years 1863, 1864 and
1865, which so materially contribu-
ted to the success OF the Union cause
ard ticket in those years, may now
be recognized. His untiring services
as Secretary of the State Union Com
mittee for the last four years, and the,
industry, zeal and intelligence he has
exhibited in the prosecution of these
several campaigns, give him strong
claimssto this prefermentat the1iands
of the party he so faithfully served
For the last tioelUe gears, DIR. w. has
been employed as clerk in the office
of Auditor of State, where he has so
discharged his duties as to secure the
respect and confidence of his superb
ors, and in which he has rendered val
liable service to the State. Hundreds
of citizens have reason to remember
him for many attentions and coprte-
sizes afforded them Especially during
the war times in their transactions
with the public authorities at the
Capital. Hell an accomplished busi-
ness man, of incorruptible integrity,
and the soul of honor this is his
public reputation; we kn0a0 him to be
generous to a fault and the very
prince of good fellows. $3.50
His nomination by the Convention
would be deserved compliment, and
would, it is believed, be acceptable to
all parts of the State.

subject OF reconstruction, which came

the plan of reconstruction which the
present Presidents claimed to be that

never been approved by majority

Assistant Secretary of the Navy,

General, the Postmaster General, the
Secretary of the Interior,had insisted
that suffrage in some form should be
granted to the colored population of
those States Neitherodid the Presi
dent himself regard these organiza
tions thus inaugarated as permanent
States, nor take such ground until
late in 1863. Just before the Assem-.

lnication was received from provis
ional Governor Sharkey, of Mississ-
ippi, complaining that in case of a
murder by negro, crime punish
able under State law, General Slocum
had refused to regard habeas cor
pus. A reply was returned FROM the
Secretary of State that the President
saw no reason to interfere; that the
State Government was only provIs-
ional, and would remain so until the
civil authority was restored with the
approval of Congress and that, in
the meanwhile, the military could
not be withdrawn He slse read a
communication from the Secretary
of State, to the same effect, in reply
to communication from the Gov
|ernor of Florida. President Lincoln,
ON this subject, never had a policy,
but had declared, when urged on the
subject, that having a policy was
what he especially wanted to avoid,
SO as not to be trammeled. Mr..
Upton, of Nebraska, also made
speech on the same bill. The next
speech will be by Senator Davis, of
Kentucky. 'aad

The fifth resolution OF the Nova Scotia
