During the late Republican State Con-
vention, Senator Ross was sneaking
around Topeka, keeping. out of sight of
the public. The State Convention gave
utterance to the feelings of the Repub-
licans of the State by passing the follow
ing resolution without dissenting
vote:
RESOLVED, That the conduct of E. G.
Ross, Senator from Kansas, in his votes
and associations in Washington against
loyalty and liberty, deserves and meets
the disapprobation Of all the liberty
loving men who are his constituents.

TIE communication, in reference
to n meeting of the Democratic Club,
should have been published last week
but was sent in too late. We COM
mend its tone and the policy suggest
ell. But what good will 1t doc The
same policy we have urged, again and
again upon our people, but could offer
no money induccmcnt for its adoption
and the suggestion was UNDECIDED and
will be again. Dcnunciations of our
oppressors are upon almost every lip,
but ask those noisy friends of liberty
TO retaliatc upon the tyrants in the
only pcaceable way open to lis, and
the practical answer is: o, no ! it will
put lis to some inconvenience, or cost
a dime; we wish success to the work,
but want others to do it.
When oppression sets easy upon q
people, why seek to throw IL OFF,
When negro supremacy is objcctiona-
BILE only in theory, why resist its
practical application? When wehave
no wrongs worth rcdressing, why
take the trouble to retaliate? 1t Is
unchristian to do so, and besides it
may offend some one from whom we
may gain n dime.

What Governor Seymour did for
PennsyIvanis and for the Army
of General ROsccrans.

Governor Curtin invites all the 10y
al ex-Governors to come to Philadel-
phia on the LIST of October to meet the
the Boys in Blue. A happy time is
anticipated. Ofcourse Governor Scy-
mour was not invited to meet the
the truly loyal. His loyalty was of n
different quality from that of these
patriotic Governors. Theirs was man
Tested in words. Governor Seymour
showed his friendship for the soldier
in the field, and his love for his en-
dangered country In deeds. When
the army of General Rosecrans was
afflicted with scurvy an appeal was
made to the loyal Governors for vege-
tables. Every one of them, Cover
nor Curtin included, responded to the
appeal of General Rosecrans by re-
fcrring him to the Sanitary Commits
sion. But Governor Seymour prompt
ly sent one hundred and fifty barrels
Of potatoes and fifty barrels Ofonions,
raised on his own farm. They were
the only vegetables received by the
army of General Rosecrans before It
was put on the march. But Cover
nor Seymour was not loyal enough to
hi'tt ti't-o Aotty poNiotF.
When the army of Lee overrun
Pennsylvania, i'm 1863, and when the
"trully loyal" Governor of Pennsyl-
vania was making frantic appeals for
troops, Governor Seymour was the
first to respond. His regiments were
marching through the streets of Har-
risburg, to meet the invaders of the
State, before Governor Curtin was
able to raise company. While the
loyal men in Harrisburg, trembling
in the jointsof their knees, filed with
CONSERVATION, were hurrying out
of the city to place of safety;
when Governor Curtin was fear
fully anticipating the arrival of the
dreaded rebels with an engine fired
up to bear him in a special train be-
You'd the reach of danger, the succor
hastily sent by the patriotic Cover
nor of New York arrived. Then 10y
atty was full of sincere expressions of
gratitude. Governor Curtin Secre-
tary Stanton, President Lincoln,
himself were loud In their acknowl-
edgements of the great services rem
dercd by Governor Seymour. But
now the very men whose pens in Jul
ly, 1853, would have fallen from their
fear-palsied fingers are busy In foul
and fhlsc charges ofdisloyalty against
Governor Seymour. The loyal Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania invites the
Governors OF the Northern States to
meet in Philadelphia, hut excludes
Governor Seymour, hut for whom
this very Governor Curtin would
have been fugitive from his own

The Actual Figures of our state Debt.

Prior to January1, 1853, the liabili-
ties of the State OF Tennessee are sta
ted at $T9,547, 100. According to the
statement made to the Legislature,
the aggregate debt on the 9th inst.
was S34, I'll, 1852 rs, showing an in
crease of $l4, 724,6 $3.50 20. This, It will
be borne in mind, Is q Brownlow ac-
count; and per contra, the real indebt-
edness is stated i'm the Nashville
Union and American of the 18th
inst. as $50, 3s7, 1877 70, an increase of
SIG, S40,03l. % over the liabilities of
1861. Even to this 1t is stated that
the accrued interest, very near mill
ion, Is to be added, as also 81, 1885,, 900
collected ON account of the school
fund, but otherwise appropriated, and
thus an Indebtedness to that fund,
making about $50, 000, 900 In all, which
shows that in the three years and q
half of Brownlow rule, some fifteen
millions have been added to the State
debt.

Editor Chronicle: At q meeting
of the Democratic party Of Mont
gomery county, held at the Court
house in this city, on Friday evening
last, an effort was made to organize o
Colored Democratic Club. Able and
stirring speeches were made by Col.
J. w. Sones, III. II. Lurton, Esq, and
Gen. w. A. Quarles but, contrary
to the expectations of the audience,
when, call was made for the colorcd
men present, who desired to enroll
their names as members of the club,
to come forward and DO so, Thomas
Beaumont, q barber and James
Barksdale, an express driver, were
the only ones present who were will
ing to do so.
Now, Mr.. Editor, the question nat
urally arises, as to what remunera-
ton should be extended to these two
noble and patriotic men, who are
thus able to stem the current of Radi-
cal oppression, threats and menaces,
and enroll themselves as friends to
the white race. Thomas Beaumont
has q neat and comfortable barber
shop, In an accessible part of the
city, Mt all times waited upon by ex-
pcrienced and attentive barbers.-
Then let every young man in the city
come to the relief of this man in ono
solid column, and pledge himself not
to enter the shop of Dallas White Oh
George Barker as long as they stand
out in enmity to them. These two
last named have had repeated ant
urgent solicitations to enroll them.
selves as members of the club, yet
they have failed to do so, and it is
high time that the young men who
patronize them should know 1t.
James Barksdale has good horse
and express wagon, and when any
of our citizens have need of one, III
can easily be found. We should b'
friends to those who are our friends.

THE STEAM PLOUGH.

MIR. EDITOR: This plow, invented
by me, will take up six plows in less
time than two horses can take up one.
1t is not adapted solely to prairie lands,
as some have affirmed, but is intended
for farms where horses have worked
before, and to supersede horses entire
ly and get rid of the expense of keep
ing them and the outfit required to
make them useful in the field OF
labor
by this invention, one man and one
boy-tlic former as engineer and the
latter rs fireman-will drive six piows
and do the work of twelve horses.
This pillow 1 invented years ago, but
it is only two years since l made a
model, in the Phoenix Foundry, at
Louisville, and deposited it in the
shop of the l.. & n. r.. r., where il
was stolen, but recovered in few
weeks, just as it was about to be pat
ented. 1t was suggested that n ma
chine for three plows would cost less
and be more In demand. Accordingly

rialsat nominal price. Both models
arc now in my possession. The plows
are in n single frame and can be de-
tachcd in moment and the engine
attached to the farm wagon, the
threshing machine, saw or grist
mill. The engine remains fixed up
on its frame, out of gear with the
plows, but in gear with any other
machinery.
The object of this publication is to
secure the aid of some man Of capital
to start the business. The machine
has been examined by some OF the

A prominent Radical paper of New
York quotes what 1t calls "the treas
onahle and revolutionary utterances"
of tpenty-one Northern and Southern
Democratic speakers and newspapers,
and they distorted, to prove that the
millions of Democrats in the two
sections are disaffected to the govern
ment. The Journal we refer to has
evidently hunted laborously for all
such utterances and can find but
twenty-One. These It parades with
great exultation. Is the whole South
to be condemned for the indiscretion,
or crimes even, of less than two dozen
men? AS we said yesterday, the
only capital the Radicals use IL the
Misrepresentation and perversion OF
the imprudent speeches of a handful OF
men. In so doing they acknowledge
that the argument Is against them.-

TIE news from Spain indicates a.
successful revolution and the flight of
the Qucensto France: Forgenerations
that country has been the scene Of a
most hateful dcspotism, second only
TO that of Turkey. Perhaps 1t may
be a lesson to our Radical despots-
teaching that the most thoroughly
down-trodden people can be driven to
successful resistance through grievous
suffering.
1t is to be regretted, however, that
the revolutionists contemplate the es-
tablishmcnt of n republic on the ruins
Of monarchy. The Spaniards arc
certainly not better fitted for self-gov-
eminent than the people ofthe United
States, and the signal failure of this
republic should warn the former
against an experiment destined to an
early and similar result.
The best government for any people
is limited monarchy with such safe
guards for popular rights as once dis
tinguishcd the government of Great
Britain. But even that government,
once so firm and wise and just is tot
tering underline blows of demagogues
who ciamor for universal suffrage -
the highway to anarchy and conse-
quent despotism.
The history of mankind dcvclopes
no plan of government whose stabil-
ity is assured against Ignorance and
corruption, and man must be recon-
structed before these destructive ele-
mcnts can be banished from organiza-
tions that cmbody an entire people.
In every nation, known to history,
virtue and intelligence are and ever
have been, in minority, and so long
as the opposite elements are in the
ascendant, just so long will every at
tempt at self-governmcnt fail.
The first question that should claim
the attention of statesmen in the es-
Enlistment of government Is,
whether virtue and intelligence shall
govern vice and ignorance, or the lat
ter govern the former. If the qucs-
ton be decided in favor of gov
eminent of virtue and intelligence,
then it will follow as matter of
course, that the idea of universal suf-
fragc must he rcpudiated rs incompat-
ible with wisdom and stability. Up
on this theory, our government was
originally founded, andi in every State,
we believe, the ballot box was guard
ed with wholesome restrictions upon
suffrage. The clamor of demagogucs
eventually removed thcserestrictions,
and from that period date the innova-
tions that Slapped the morals of con-
stituencics and rapidly and inevita-
bly, resulted in the tyranny which OPP
presses us to-day.
1t will soon be in the condition OF
mongrel Mexico, and it will he race
between the Spaniards and ourselves,
which shall soonest sink to that de-
graded level.
