THE MORN BREAKS BRIGHTLY,

The Presidential contest is decided.
That great voice which murmured in '56,
which pronounced clearly in go, which
through four years of bloody contest thnn-
dered over the continent its determined
fiat-that voice is again heard, announcing
in uumistakable tones the great fact that
law and order and peace and personal
safety must be established and perpetuated
all over this land of ours.
The people have spoken. From out the
great citadels of the Democracy comes the
cry that the garrisons refuse to fight under
the stars and bars.
Pennsylvania, ever reliable for Demo-
cracy, is found more reliable for truth and
the eternal principles of right.
Ohio, year since, lazily dropping to the
level of questionable States, now rises in
her glorious strength and sends forth such
a trumpet blast as echoes from Nermont's
hills to Calilornias sierras, and spreads
from lakes to Gulf
Indiana. the sheet anchor of Demo
Gratis hope, and the source of a Republi-
cans apprehension, wheels into line with
an emphasis, which nails TO the counter
the ISLANDERS on the great West.
Nebraska shouts from the great prairies
clear and strong; and little New jersey. to
the astonishment of all, strikes in to swell
the chorus of nations determined voice.
The people have spoken, and their ut
terance says, that over all this land of ours
American citizens may live, and write and
speak the honest sentiments of their hearts
without molestation and without fear. 1t
says that departments OF our Government
shall no longer be antagonistic or in dis
cord. That true President shall, with q
true Congress, administer our laws.
And all over our land is JOY and glad
ness. Truly the morn breaks brightly.

Grand MSsa Ratification Meeting of the
Republicans In North Louisinna,


The first, and so far only, ratihca-
ton meeting of the Republican party in
North Louisiana was held at Monroe, on
Saturday last, the tenth instant.
Notice had been given that number of
distinguished speakers would be present
from New Orleans, but they did not ap-
pear, owing, it is supposed, to the fact
that the Legislature failed to take recess.
But the meeting was nevertheless interest
ing and enthusiastic, evincing the fact, very
plainly, that the Republicans of North
Louisiana, if they could be protected in a
thorough party organization, would be
unit for Grant and Colfax.
Hon. W. Jasper Blackburn, of Claiborne,
was present and addressed the meeting in
mild, but firm and dignifed spirit, as we
are informed by those present. He gave
the colored people good and cheering ad-
vice, and appealed to all lovers of law and
order and good government TO stand forth
and support General Grant, as the only
man In the nation who can bring peace
and harmony to the country at the present
crisis. He challenged the opposition to
meet the issues of the day in an open and
manly way, and appealed to
them to cease their prosecutions
of the friends of freedom. We are assured
that his remarks were able and pointed,
and were we'll received by all. He is the
only white man who has as yet stepped
forward and publicly addressed the people
OF North Louisiana in behalf of the Repub-
hcau ticket in this campaign. The Demo-
cratic party is well organized there, and is
very vindictive in its party spirit.
A eolored man, whose name we did not
learn, also addressed the meeting at Mon
roe in an able aud effective speech.
The occasion passed of quietly and with
good effect.

rs General tsrant a stateaaans-A Polfti-
cal Letter Five Years Old.
Five years ago, General Grant wrote the
following in response to an invitation from
the Memphis Chamber of Commerce to q
complimentary dinner, at the close of his
great Tennessee campaign:
MEMPHIS. Tenn. August 26, 1868.
GENTLEMEN-I have received COPY of
resolutions passed by the "loyal citizens of
Memphis, at a meeting held at the rooms
OF the Chamber of Commerce, August 25,
1863 rendering me public reception.
Iu accepting this testimonial, which | do
at great sacrifice of my personal feelings,
L simply desire 10 pay tribute TO the first
public exhibition in Memphis of loyalty to
the Government which l represent in the
Department OF the Tennessee. should dis
like to refuse, for considerations of per-
sonal convenience, to acknowledge, any
where, or in any form, the existence of fsenti-
ments which l have so long and so ardenty
desired to see manifested in This depart
ment. The stability OF this Government,
and the unity of this nation, depend solely
on the cordial support and the earnest 10y
atty of the people. While, therefore, l
thank you sincerely for the kind expires
sIons you have used toward myself, / am
profoundly gratiied at this public recogni-
ton, in the city of Memphis, of the power
and authority OF the Government of the
United States.
l thank you, too, in the name of the noble
army which l have the NOR to command
1t is composed Of men whose loyalty has
been proven by their deeds of heroism
and their willing sacrifice OF life and health.
They will rejoice with me at the miserable
adherents of the rebellion, whom their bay
onets have driven from this fair land, are
being replaced by men who acknowledge
human liberty as the only true foundation
of human government. May your efforts
to restore your city to the cause of the
Union be az successful as have been theirs
to reclaim it from the despotic rule of the
leaders of the rebellion.
have the honor to be, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant.

THE DEMOCRATIC swOKD.

The following is an extract from cir.
cular issued by the Democratic Central
Committee of Louisiana:
DEAR SIR: i''o'SFl
Aud we would earnestly declare to our
fellow-citizens our opinion that even the
most implaeable and ill-disposed of the
negro population, those who show the
worst spirit toward the white people. are
not half so much deserving our aversion
and non-intercourse with them as the de-
based whites who encourage and aid them,
and who become through their votes the
offiee-holding oppressors of the people.
Whatever of resentment you have should
be felt toward the latter and not against
the colored men. But in no case should
you permit this resentment to 90 farther
than to Withdraw from them all coun-
tenance, association and patronage. and to
thwart every effort they may make to main
tain business and social foothold among
you. THOS. L. MACON.
President State Central Committee;

A. B. BACON.

Famous XII Sc :.

When the Cardinal John of Lorraine was
presented to the Duchess OF Savoy, she
gave him her hand to kiss, greatly TO the
Indignation of the irate churchman,
How, madam exclaimed he, ''am to be
treated in this manner? 1 kiss the queen,
my mistress, and shall not kiss you, who
are only a ducheSs?p and without more
ado he, despite the resistance of the proud
little Portuguese princess, kissed her thrice
on the mouth before he released her with
an exultant laugh.
The doughty cardinal was apparently of
one mind with She'd n, who thought to kiss
ladies' hands after tneir lips, as some do,
is like little boys, who, after they
eat an apple fall to the pairing. When
Charles IL. was making his triumphal
progress through England certain coun-
try ladies who were presented to him,
instead of kissing the royal hand in their
simplicity held up their pretty lips to be
kissed by the King-'-a blunder no one
would more willingly excuse than the lover
of pretty Nell Gwinn. Another poet, the
countryman OF Charter, had, two centuries
later, the honor of being publicly kissed
in the stage box by the young and lovely
Countess de Villars, but in Voltaire's case
the lady gave the osculatory salute, not of
her own free will, but in obedience to the
command of the claqueurS in the pit, mad
with enthusiasm for the poets " Merope. y
Georglana, Duchess Of Devoushire. gave
Steel, the butcher, kiss for his vote,
nearly century since and another equally
beautiful woman, Jane, Duchess of Gordon,
recruited her regiment in a similar mans
ner. Duncan Mackenzie, a veteran Of
Waterloo, died in E'gin. Scotland, Decem-
ber, 1866. He delighted in relating
how he kissed the Duchess, in tlking
the shilling from between her teeth, to
become one of her regiment, the
Gordon Highlanders, better known as
the NiHety-Second. The Scottish veteran
of eighty-seven has not left one behind him
to tell the same tale about kissing the blue
eyed Duchess in the market place of Dut-
hill. The late Daniel O'Connell hit upon
novel mode of securing votes for the candi-
dates he bad named at a certain election,
which test, considering the constitutional
temperament of his countrymen, is said to
have proved effectual. He said, in refer
ence to the unfortunate elector who should
vote against them "Let no man speak to
him. Let no woman salute him!" Gilbert
Stuart, the portrait painter, is said to have
once met lady in the streets OF Boston,
who accosied Aim with "Ah! Mr.. Stuart,
| have just seen your likeness, and kissed
1t, because it was 80 much like you" aAnd
did it kiss you in return?' "Why no.n
Then" said the gallant painter, ait was
not like me-"

THE PRESIDENTS ELECTION ORDER.

IL II Aoo4O6AaA " '1hLOAAOIN OhObIt
The general order from the army head
quarters. citing the constitutional and
statutory provisions which forbid the in
ter ference of the military with elections in
the several States, seems to be misunder-
stood by the Democratic press. 1t must
be remembered that Virginia, Mississippi
and Texas are not States in the Union.
They are not entitled to vote for Presi-
dental electors.
The military officers in command are
bound by the reconstruction act7. Those
measures declare that no legal State gov
ernments exist, and there is law which
forbids the counting Of the votes from those
States.
President johnson will not dare to direct
General Reynolds, for instance, to violate
the laws of Congress.

Democrats talk Of Republicans aeettioe
up riots in the South to make political
capital. They say the Republicans started
the riot at New Orleans. and that thew Com
menced the riot at Camilla. Both OF these
were attacks By Democrats upon Republi-
can meetings. The holding Of Renubli-
can meeting is therefore considered by The
Democrats Is Of itself the beginning of
riot An attempt 10 hold q Republican
meeting is indorsed by Democrats as con-
stituting valid justification for attacks up-
oua person and property. Republicans
