trial, under solemn pledge Of amend
ment. But the promised reform comes
not, if the paculations continue and in
crease, there is but enc opinion for the
employer to form, and but one course
for him to pursue. So with the people.
The Radical party's promises of amend
ment, retrenchment and honesty are
seen to be mere devices to be retained
in favor, and in justice to themselves
the people can no longer tolerate class
of servants SO prodigal of pledges and
so careless in redeeming them.
Speaking Of this needless expense in
continuing a useless army, the Pitts
burg Dispatch, a Radical journal, re-
marks:
By this i'll advised proceeding the
country is saddled with debt of some
forty or fifty millions 4 year. An ac-
knowledged superfuous outlay for an
army of twenty or thirty thousaRd,
which we do not need. Is it supposed
that the Democratic press will not ca
gerly parade this item of willful Re-
publican extravaganza to the damage
of the party' They will pounce upon
it, for it is a real grievance, and they
have TOO long been compelled to treat
their readers to factitious grievances.
That fifty millions will be Haunted in
our faces during the entire campaign.
Probably our honorable Representatives
think that it is wasting time to attend
to matters of legislation when they
might be Saying the country" ON the
stump. Possibly, however, 1T will oc-
cur to so.ne that The services of all the
Republican orators in Congress, during
the campaign, will not ceme to fifty
millions a year. At least we should
hate to pay them at that rate in adj
vance.

would here call your attention to a
remark of one Of their ablest Senators,
who, few days since in Congress, said
that we were on the eve of another re.
bellion. If We do not submit to all the
unconstitutional acts that Congress
may see fit to pass, and if the people
arc disposed to elect President who is
opposed to these unconstitutional acts,
then, although Va may do nothing in
the way. of taking up arms, they viii
take up arms in order to sustain their
unconstitutional acts. ["If they do
we'll whip 'em." Laughter and cheers. ]
Now, considering the Radicals never
had more than about one-third of the
United States, ! think if they extend
the area Of the fighting ground they
may possibly get the worst oft. Laugh

. New YORK, July Prank P. Blair
has sent letter to Col Brodhead, in
which he leaves tito him, after consul
tation with Blair's friends, whether
his name shall be presented to the
Democratic Convention. Mr. Blair
says :sH1
"There is but one way to restore
the Government and the constitution,
ard that is for the President elect to
de- lare the reconstruction acts null
and void; comp the army to undo
its usurpations at the South disperse
the carpet bag State Governments al
low the white people to recognize
their own governments and elect Sen
ators and Representatives The
House of Representative will contain
majority Of Democrats from the
North, and they will admit the Rep
resentatives elected by the white peo-
pie of the South, and with the co OPP
Grafton of the President it will not be
difficult to compel the Senate to sub
nit once more to the obligations OF
the constitution. 1t will not be able
to withstand the public Judgment, il
distinctly invoked and clearly express
ed on this tuL damental issue, and it is
the sure way to avoid all future strife
To put this issue plainly to the country,
repeat that the real and only ques-
ton which we should allow to control
us is: "Shall we submit to the usurp
atiors by which the government has
been overthrown, or shall we exert
ourselves for it's full and complete res
toratio ?" 1t lis idle to talk Of green
backs, gold, the public faith, and the
public credit. What can a Democrat
ic President do in regard to any of
these with a Congress in both branch
es controlled by the carpet baggers and
their allies ? He will be powerless to
stop the supplies by which idle ne
groes are organized into political
clubs; BIZ which an army is maintain
ed to protect these vagabonds in their
outrages upon the ballot These, and
things like these, eat up the revenues
and resources of the Government, de-
stroy it's credit, and make the differ
ence between gold and grecnbacks
We must restore the constitution be-
fore we can restore the finances, and,
to do this, we must have President

ton acts. 3A aass 4ss

STILL LATER

TAMMANY HALL, 10 80 A M-Police
arrangements this morning, ON Four
teenth street, are excellent. All crowd
ing at the doors Of the hall is prevent
ed by lines of police, who permit no
one but holders of tickets to the Con-
vention, to approach the building. At
ten clock the delegates were general
ly on hand, and the galleries filled with
spectators, as also were all the seats
appropriated to the ladies.
Prior to calling the Convention to
order, the hall was filled with rumors.
Some of Pendleton's friends say that
combinations have been made which
render his defeat certain.
The Committee on Resolutions has
agreed, unanimously, on platform,
and re ready to report promptly.
The Convention was called to order
by the President, at 10: 40 r.
Prayer was offered by the Rev Mr.
Plummer, who referred, with appro-
pirate feeling, to the sudden death of
Peter Cagger, delegate to the Con
vention from the State of New York.
Wright, of Delaware, submitted re-
solutions from Alex. III. Stephens, of
Georgia, which he asked to have read
and referred. The name of Stephens
was greeted with cheers. The resolr
tions were read by the Secretary; they
declare adheranee to the Union; that
the Union under the Constitution is
the union of the States, and re affirm
ed the doctrines of Jefferson, and the
necessity OF bringing the Government
back to their observance. The Demo
cratic party, in sustaining the Federal
Government during the late war, did
it in good faith to sustain the Consti-
tuition, and to preserve the rights and
dignities Of all the States unimpaired.
The highest need of patriotism is due
to all who periled life and fortune for
the maintenance of the Union, but we
have no thanks for those who carried
on the war for the subjugation of States
or to subject the white to the black
race. " Tfe#f aaa-8

Radical Frauds i'm the Late State
Election.

BALDWIN, LEE Co. Miss, July 8, '6S.
Ed. Clarion As the smoke of bat
tie passes away, it will be well enough
to report some of the Radical rascali-
ties that occurred during the late cleo
ton. At the election at Guntown, in
Lee county, on the oath June, one
Clint Jones proposed to vote, but had
lost his certificate of registration, and
the Registrar, W. F. Barber, refused
to let him vote for some time, but at
last Jones remarked that he wanted to
vote for the Constitution, thereupon
Barber concluded that Jones was en-
titled to vote from the fact that he had
'ost his registration certificate pre-
vious to the Convention election, and
at tie orders at that time allow i
him to de duplicates; but he failed
; to issue the duplicate at the time, and
would therefore issue it and let him
vote at once. A Democrat, Mr.. Ian.
Richey, was standing by, who had lost
his certificate, asked permission to
vote in the same manner that Jones
was allowed to vote, but the Registrar
replied No, that Mr.. Richey must go
to the county seat and get his dupli-
cate certificate, and vote there. Thus
you see that the same rule does not
apply to Democrats that is applied to
Radicals.
Another case occurred at Baldwin,
Lee county, on the 26th June, the
same Registrar, (Barber) holding the
election. A Mr.. White. Democrat, had
registo ed in Tishomingo county. and
afterwards moved over into Lee coun-
ty, and had been living in the latter
county longer than the time required
under orders, to entitle him to vote
But by some means, Mr.. White got
1 his registration certificate torn, and
had lost the left hand half; but the
right hand half contained the date,
precinct, county, name of voter, and
names of all the Registrars, and the
Registrar decided that he was entitled
to vote, and proceeded to fill up a
blank affidavit that is require in such
cases, but when he came to the blank
to be filled with the number Of the
tl-OCA oihO"oO, hO SoOPpON "Lo oetAu 1h1'
he could not allow the applicant to
vote, for the reason that the number
of the registration certificate was torn
off, and refused to receive the vote,
when the orders that govern in such
cases only required the voter to swear
that he has not voted in the election
and that he has resided in the precinct
ten days next preceding the election
But this brilliant Radical Registrar de
cided that the right of Democrat to
vote turned upon the number Of bis
registration certificate. In the first
case referred to above, the party being
a Radical, was allowed to vote when
he was not entitled to vote. In the
other case, the party being Demo
crat, was denied the right to vote
when he was clearly entitled to it.
These two cases came under my own
observation, and speak what know

WHAT NEXT ?-The defeat of the
mongrel Constitution has sorely dis
appointed and perplexed the Radicals
and Renegades of Mississippi. They
are in a dilemma, and not even the
wisdom of the Committee of Five can
suggest mode by which their discom-
future may be mitigated. They affect
to be surprised at the result; and
hence, Notwithstanding the vote of the
State was polled under Radical auspi-
ces, and under the supervision of
sworn officers of approved loyalty,
the charge of ''fraud' is resorted to,
and the most fraudulent means adop-
ted for procuring bogus evidence suf-
ficient to convince rump Congress
that the will of Mississippi has not
been fairly expressed.
The Radicals, in utter despair as to
how they shall best apply their swind-
ling instincts, are turning their atten-
ton to sympathizing with the Democ-
racy in the greater evils which they
insist their temerity must invite. They
tell us now, that with a Democratic
legislature, the sun of their party
would be forever set in Mississippi
but so fully are We assured that it has
gone down to eternal oblivion, we are
altogether satisfied with the result.
AS to what next shall develop itself
in our political horizon, we must be
content to wait and see. But already
the mists and fogs of Radicalism are
being rapidly dispelled, and the in
MIGRATING effects of purer atmos-
phere are already experienced. The
sun Of a regenerated Democracy is
shooting forth it's rays ofjustice, liber-
ty and equal rights. Its dawn is bright
and promising. It's full-tide splendor
we shall behold in November next.
