LEI Us HAVE PEACE"

The New Orleans Crescent says:
4 friend Of ours. reco ntly returned
from a trip through st. Charles parish,
tells US that he rode thirty-four miles
through the parish, and in that time did
not see woman or child. On asking
the reason Of this, he was informed that
the negroes in the parish had assumed
$50 threatening an attitude, that for their
own safety the dcfenceless portion Of the
population had been sent to the city"
This stacumcnt will apply to other
portions Of Louisiana. 1t may not be so
bad in other portions Of the South, but
there is a growing feeling Of insecurity
an over these States. Three years,
ago" SAYS the National hteHigeHcer
comparative quiet and order existed in
the South. All this violence 'and disor-
der has been deliberately stirred up by
Radical emissaries for political purposes.
Can we imagine anything more truly
dabolical All over the South there
is insecurity and alarm. No white
family is safe for a moment Z cry
mail nearly brings to US accounts
of some fearful atrocity, murder, and
rape 10y these negroes. When we con-
slider the provocation, the humiliation,
wrongs, and ruin of the Southern peO-
pie, all necdlessly inflicted to satisfy
Radical malice and cupidity, it is really
wonderful they have borne it as well as
they have done. That they have done
so is due to their earnest desire to have
peaceful relations with the Northern
people to endure patiently while evils
were toIcrable, in hope Of relief from s
returning sense Of magnanimity and JUS
tice. That such a state Of facts as above
stated should exist in America is a deeI
disgrace. If it had occurred ten year.

uTes. But remember, my Republican
friends, you are electing him with your
eyes open. When you old Wings elected
Tyler, there was nothing said about what
he would do. You expected him to be
committed to the policy of the Wing
party. When you elected Fillmore, he
was no Damocrat, but in four months
after his election his chief reliance was
upon the Democratic party. So when
you nominated johnson, which you did
because he was Southern man. Yes,
you did you did not know even whether
ne belonged to the Ku-K Iux Khan or not.
Loud laughter. But he lived down
South, and you wanted the odor of ma
tionalty about your Vice President; you
wanted Southern man, that it might
introduce little leven into your North
ern body. You found Andrew johnson,
and you knew he had been Democrat
and you knew he loved the Democrats SO
much that Republicans and Wings had
before time denounced him as dema-
gogue-which is another thing from q
Democrat, and you elected him. did
not vote for him, because my suffrage was
foT an honest son of Ohio, George Fl
Pendleton. Cheers.
"You made Andrew johnson Vice
President, and some one says that Goo
Almighty made him President-and it il
not for me to settle disputes of that kline
i leave it to those who may have TIM
to discuss it-but just as johnson hai
refused to follow ycur Radical projects
and as you have denounced him, just a
surely will you be denouncing Grant OIL
the Goth Of October, 1869, if he shall b.
elected President. And then, too, W
shall have the satisfaction Of saying tina
we did not elect him."

TROUBLE IN TIE RADICAL CAMP.

Judge Houk is one of those men who
are always spelling for a row of some
sort. The "Seuior Editor Of the Knox
Vile Why published a card at the open
ing Of the canvass between Houk and
Maynard, stating that the columns Of his
paper would not serve as a conduit for
personal abuse of either candidate, but it
appears that somebody has been permit
ted to make an assault on Uouk through
that paper, which The Judge character
iscs as follows:
A Card simply wish to say to the
people that the article in the wing OF

word in that article relative to my po-
sition and what my future action may be

Of history, that the writer knew he was
penning a falsehood when he did it, and

Right nobly has Georgia taken posi-
ton among the Democratic States. The
carpet-baggers and scalawags so man
aged the reconstruction" of that State
as to elect Governor of their choice,
but the people are repudiating this blot
upon the fair fame of the Empire State
ofthe South. They refuse to be handed
over to the Radicals. The Atlanta Con-
stitutioa Of the 9TH inst. says:
The returns from the election in this
State indicate a very large Democratic
majority. We think it will fall but lit
tie short of 10000. This is, perhaps. as
much gain as we ought to have expected.
Thankful for this, we shall keep steady
to the front, head erect, and faith unsha-
ken. We are on the right line, and the
triumph will in the end be ours"

HOW WEST VIRGINIA WAS CAR.
RIED.

RIED.
The people of Tennessee can appro.
cate the tyranny and usurpation by
which West Virginia was carried for the
Radicals in both the October and No
vpmber elections. A correspondent Of
of the New York Herald, writing from
Wheeling before the October election,
stated that the southern and eastern
counties are the strongholds Of Grant.
There the lumber Of the DISTINGUISHED
on account Of active service in or public
public sympathy with the rebellion IS
counted by thousands. The registers
have unlimited power and they use 1t,
or rather, as always happens in such
cases. they abuseit Reports are COM
ing in every day from the south and east
of the State. affirming the existence OF
tyranny on the part Of the registers.
Permission tovote is refused to parties
who were strong Union men during the
war. but who now wish to vote for Soy-
,aour There is no appeal from the de-
cision oG the town registers or at least,
IN appeal Is useless. The county board
Of registration always sanctions the
actions of its interiors. The Winchester
times shows how the State was carried
n O,tobsr by a reference TO the farce Of
boIJin: the election in Chorlcstown, JEFF
c,,sop county. That paper says.

SeytdOur, %
Grant carries every Northern State ex-
cept New York, New Jersey and Oregon.
Seymour carries every Southern State
that was permitted to vote, except South
Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri,
Florida and West Virginia.
Every Southern State carried by Grant,
if 2 fpl and fair expression by all the
voters had been permitted, would have
chosen Seymour electors, and if Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas had voted untram-
melled, he would have carried them also,
making with his Jorty-three Northern
votes, one hundred and ftty-nine
and thus leaving Grant with one ham
dred and ffty>efght, or in a minority
Of one in the Electoral College.
It may be thought prOfitless to put
forth such calculations as this, but il
pointedly indicates fact, the great and
significant fact, that Chief Executive
has been chosen by force AMI fraud.
But for the tyranny Of reconstruction
and its appliances in South Carolina,
Florida and Arkansas, the infamous,
registration systems in Tennessee, Mis-
souri, and West Virginia, and the excIu-
sion of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas
altogether, because they declined to
willingly submit to either; every
one Of these tates would have
voted by large majorities for Sey-
mour AMI Blair. This combination
Of force and fraud for the accomplish.
ment Of this very purpose, has been the
chief end and aim of Radical legislation
for three years and-a-half. For it, they
have kept the Union from the peaceful
and prosperous restoration provided in
the Constitution. For it, they have.neg,
lected important legislation demanded by
the national interests Of the country.
For it, they have emasculatei the Exec
utiye of his powers, and endeayored TO
eject him from office. For it, they have
sQuandered, as a corruption fund, hun
dreIs Of millions of the peoples money,
They have succeeded in securing the
great object Cf all their usurpations-
the control of the Executive department.
And yet the American people, fully
cognizant Of all these things, and with
right and justice thus shamefully abused
before their eyes, intend to acQuieSco and
submit Great, tolerant and magnani-
nous people If there is one under
Heaven capable Of self-gOvernment in so
far rs selCcOntrol under the preparation
ofoutrageS, can do so, it is this people.
But while forbearing and advising for
bearancc, the thoughtful man cannot
avoid asking himself how often can this
dreadful experiment with a peoples pa
thence be safely repeated, and is not the
Presidential election of 1865 a fearful
precedent?

tween five and six hundred votes. The
registration books this year, as furnished
to the supervisor, contained the names of
fifteen voters, all told. These were, of
course, deemed loyal. The polls were
opened, the election progressed, and at
sunset eleven patriots had exercised the
privilege of the ballot. The RAIDS made
a mistake, however, in calculating upon
SO large proportion of loyalty in that
district, for only tao of the eleven voted

1t is evident that Houk intends getting
after some Of his Radical brethren with
very sharp stick. He knows great
deal about the mean acts of which they
have been guilty, and he should enlighten
the public on these subjects. They
have abused him without stint, because
he dared to oppose Maynard, and he
