nessee and Louisiana, are demanding
troops of us, and the rest of them will
soon be demanding them-for it is not in
the nature of the White man to lie
down and be ridden over by the Negro
unless there is q bayonet at his throat
to prick him into the degradation.
Reconstruction" thus means
Increased Taxation;
Fresh Standing Armies;
And General GRANT to preside over
them another four years-throughout
his life, perhaps, for he and his re-. l.
ments will be just as indispensable to
maintain the Negro on top and keep
the White man under, twenty, aye, fifty
years hence, as to-day.
This civil government of ours must
become permanently Military Govern
ment, if we have to keep up this sort OF
thing.
We must keep up the Taxation, that
is driving our commerce from the ocean,
prostrating our trade at home, and
grinding us down by debt, as no other
people OH earth are ground down.
We wonder not that Mr.. DAVIS be-
lieves, as every right,thinking and re-
fiecting man believes, that the question
above all other questions of this cam
paign, is the so-called reconstruction"

No less than three of the electors ap'
pointed by the Radical State Executive
Committee, have resigned their posi-
tious, and have declared for SEYMoUF
aud BLAIR, Civil Government and Equal
Taxes.
JAMES +. WHARTON, their oldest and
m.st earnest Radical editor in the
State, repudiates the Military Govern

and BLAIR.
Aside from these leaders. we can name
4 large number of men. who, although
occupying no official position in the

members, have come out for the Labor

Everything is encouraging, friends.

Editors of the Register:
There is notice in your paper sign ed
by School Commissioner of Triadel-
phia township, calling for proposals to
build three new school houses in said
township. Now, l am satisfied this is
an unnecessary expense at this time,
and that at least three-fourths of the
Taxpayers of said township are opposed
to the erection of any more school houses
at present. The people consider the
buildings already erected ample for the
accommodation of all the scholars in
said district; provided the schools were
properly organized and competent teach,
ers employed to carry on the schools in
the buildings already erected.
Will you please inform US through
your paper what are the powers and
functions of the School Commissioner
and what course should be taken by the
ax-payers to stop further proceedings

|. In one month-the month of July
during profound peace, the Radical
party increased the national debt over
Sl3OOO,OOO. This is not the economy of
wealth. Honest Republican, reflect
where this will end.
H. In March, 1866, two years and a
half ago, gold was selling at "a per cent.
premium. 1t is now selling at about
double. Thus, in these two years OF
peace, the Radicals have reduced the
value of the currency in which the SOL
der is paid his pensions aud the labor
Ing man his wages, whilst it has in
creased the value of the gold which is
rtServed for the ndholder.
These two facts are worth pondering
by all candid men.

THE Mtelligeacer, of Monday morning,
contained an item that escaped our at
tenIlon at the time, though We profess
to be 4 pretty close reader of that vera
cIous and amiablc sheet. The item paid
acompliment to JOHN j. DAVIS, Esq,
one of the Democratic candidates for
The House of Delegates for Harrison
county, because, in recent speech, he
affirmed the pre-eminence of the recon
structiOn question, in the canvass. AS
We have not seen report of the speech,
We do not know the position Mr.. DAVIS
took; but, knowing him to be a very
sensible man, We readily enough be-
heve the IutclIigeneer states his position
correctly.
by the so-called reconstruction acts
OF the Radical party, the White people
Of the South are prescribed, excluded
even from practicing their professions,
by Test Oaths, and driven from the
Ballotbox Armies are quartered upon
them to eat out their substance; aud,
without their participation, Taxes al
most beyond their power to pay, are
saddled upon them. Against thou
sand times less odious rule, our fore
fathers rebelled, in 1776. The idea Of
self-government has been so ingrained
INTO the American system, ever since
The Puritans landed at Plymouth and
others at jamestown, that the Bayonet,
even, will hardly be able to prick the
Idea out of American heads.
Now, if-as we must, under these in
famous so-ealled reconstruction meas
nres--if We of the North are ever to be
teeping up large standing armies ia the
South, in order to govern the Whites by

General Rlnir's Views on Recon
struction.


struction.
We reprint, as timely document
which will interest the public, an ex-
cellent speech on reconstruction made
by General BLAIR in the Connecticut
canvass, last spring. His views are
presented quite at length, and are so
we'll supported by reasons that they
ought to have persuasive effect on
Republican readers. General BLAIR
demonstrates, by the clearest historical
evidence, that the views he ROW holds
on the reconstruction question, are iden.
cal with those of the late President
LINCOLN. Mr.. LINCoLN's refusal to
sign the reconstruction bill passed by
Congress in the summer of 1864, was
not put by him on the ground
that there was anything very
Objectionable in the bill, but on
the groxnd that Congress had no right
to prescribe to the States a method OF
restoration and compel its adoption.
He told the country, in proclamation,
that it might be a very good method for
States choosing to adopt it, but he took
the ground that the free action of the
States was the only thing which conld
give any method validity. General
BLAIR dwells at some length on the last
speech ever made by President LIN
coin. 1t was just after his return from
Richmond, whittier he had been to
witness the completion of the rebel
surrender. Mr.. LlNCoLN'S speech on
that occasion was very maturely
considered and carefully prepared.
Weighing every word, lie committed
the speech to writing and read
it from manuscript. The one topic of
which it treated was the one topic then
in order at the close of the war, the one
topic which was uppermost in Mr.. LIN
coins thoughts-the restoration of the
revolted States to their normal relations
i'm the Union. What he said on the
great and engrossing topic may be seen
in the quotations introduced by General
BLAIR into his speech. The views of
President LINCOLN on that occasion
were, in substance, the views which
General BLAIR holds on the same sub
ject to-day. We wish that General
BLAIR's speech might be read by every
candid Republican in the United States.

SATURDA Y. January T..
Innommntory Appeals to- the Ma
fINc-.

We have of late had frequent occasion.t to call
public attention to the management Of the Gov
ernmcnt pres. as discrcditable to the country,
and an injury u the public interest. We have
now another illustration, afforded 10y tie Govern
ment native newspaper, called the Au Otoa,
which, in n series of articles appearing in its col
umns the Iast few weeks. is seeking to infalne the
native population against the Foreigners, To make
the former jealous of the latter, and to inspire dis
trust and hatred between them.
Under ordinary circumstances, this might not
be worthy of notice, but coupled with the fact
that the articles are written by n Government Of
ficcr, and evidently at the instance and with the
knowledge of the Ministers, IL has a more signii-
cant import. Jealousy and hatred between races
are the bitterest forms of animosity, and when
once kindled, generally lead to blOOdshed and to
the final determination of the weaker or colored
race. This has been the experience with the
Anglo-Saxon race in North America, with the
Spanish in the West Indies, Central and South
America, with the English Colonies in Australia,
Van Dieman's Land and New Zealand, us well as
everywhere that hatred between the races has been
created and fostercd.
Up To this time the whole tenor of the inter
course between foreigners and natives of the Ila-
waiian Islands has been to inspire Jready feel
ings, and to remove all distrust. But here we
have Il newspaper, published by the Government,
under the immediate control of the Ministers, who
are solely responsible for every line in it, Issuing
inflammatory articles to the natives, telling them
that the foreigners are designing to rob them of
their rights, their property and their country, to
tramplc them under, to rive them to the noun
tains, and calling on them to rise and resist. But
in order that our readers may Judge for themselves,
we insert a translation of one of the articles re-
fcrrcd to

As slick as 4 tea-party, They thought

They told him what they meant to do
And how they came TO do so, Because he

But Captain Grant, he smelt q mice.
