TO THE PUBLIC.

INTERESTED parties having circulated reports
l. in New Castle and adjoining counties, deprc-
cating the character of Rhodes Super Phosphate
as Fertilizer lin consequence of the recent reduc-
ton in price of same, we beg leave TO lay before
our patrons and the public generally, the follow
ing letter from Messrs. Yarnall Il Trimble, Gener-
al Agents for this Standard Manure, in Philadel-
pha:
PHILADELPHIA, Aug II, la6s,
Mr.. d. r. Eoans, MiddletoWn. Del.
Dear Sir Your favor of date Is just
to hand. We note with surprise, that there pre-
wills with you rumor that Messrs. Potts Klstt
have sold out to other parties. This 10 sfalsehooa
made out Of the "vhole CLOTH" nessra. Potts .
Klett have not sold out; neither DO they iateaA
to do so. On the contrary, they have so increas-
cd their facilities for making the Rhodes Super
Phospatc that they are enabled to make it at less
cost than any other manufacturers, and in conse-
quence, have been able to reduce the price and
still furnish article fully equal to their former
High Standard, and at the same time in a condi-
ton for drilling superior to any article of the kind
in the market.
We cannot conceive how the report has been
circulated in your neighborhood, or who the au-
thors of it are. We suppose, however, it was
originated by some interested party who, perhaps,
Is not able to produce so good an article even at
higher price. Please contradict the report fntly,
and at all times, and oblige
Yours, truly,

General Agents for Rhodes Manure.

TIMELY HINTS TO ALL


HOW many have lost father, matber, brps
IL ther, sister, or an innocent little prattling
child, and have not even SHADOW of resemb-
lance to look upon. After the separation some
little toy or trilling article is often kept for
years, and cherished as token of remcmberance
How much more esteemed and yalnable would
be one of HoREIHG's Perfect Photographs, of the
loved and lost. There is scarcely any one who
does not take pleasure in gazing on the features
of friend, and when that friend has been re-

with an expression Of regret; o! what would
net give for such picture of my friend.
Readers, perhaps you cannot do a better thing
now your mind is upon the subject, then take an

Radical Journals IN the South have
ceased quoting from the New York Times,
since Mr.. Raymond abandoned the Recon-
structicn tub. Here is his opinion Of the
menageries, their work, and their doom:
"The conventions in session In Virginia,
the Carolinas, Georgia, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and Florida, afford almost certain in-
dications Of the fate that is in store for the
whole business. 1t is not possible that
these dense masses of ignorance can pro-
duce aught favorable to the restoration Of
harmony and prosperity in the South. AS
contrivances for making constitutions,
there can be no doubt that the conventions
will be worse than failures. For they will
widen the gulf between the races, and in
tensify the distrust with which each re.
CARDS the other. The constitutions they
frame will encounter the active or passive
opposition Of nearly the entire white popu-
lation, and will not endure month after
the bagonet props shall be withdrawn"

Glad Of the Mistake.

The N. o. Crescent, in reply to an
allusion of ours, in our leader Of last
week, makes the following statement
which we gladly accept, and hope our
occasional mistakes will always turn
out so good: 3i.3i90 PIX
"0ur friend of the Louisiana Demo-
GRAFT, in undertaking to correct the
CRESCENT, falls into an error. The
Wilson bill has not "become a law
1t has passed the house, but not the
Senate. If majority of the registered
voters in Alabama have not voted on
the question of the adoption Of the Con-
stitution, the Constitution is defeated.
SUCH seems to be the case, as far as the
election has been heard from. 1t is
probable the white people of Alabama
have defeated the Constitution by pur-
suing the policy OF abstentiou.

PUBLIC MEETING.

We have been requested by a large
number of our citizens, whose names
are published elsewhere, to give notice
that public meeting will be held at
the Ball Room Of the Ice House Hotel
at Q o'clock of MONDAY the 18th of
FEBRUARY, for the purpose of organ
Using in this Parish the CONSERVATIVE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY, and cooperating
with the Central Committee at New
Orleans, and the National Committee
at Washington, in opposition to the
destructive Radical Party which now
misrules the country; and also for the
purpose Of appointing Central Com
mittee for this Parish, as we'll as select
ing Delegates to represent the Parish
of Rapides in the Democratic Conven-
ton to assemble in New Orleans on
the 5th day of March, 1868.
1t should not be either matter of
doubt or of inference that we detest
the present unconstitutional and arbi-
trary government imposed upon us at
the point of the bayonet. The people
should therefore in their primary meet
ings give public and decided expression
to their feeling of adherence, so that
our. friends at the North (if we have
any may know by our own words and
acts, that the present apparent apathy
of the South does not proceed from
indifference.
Let then all come who are opposed
to Radical misrule, by whatever politi-
cal name they have heretofore been
known, and unite in an organization,
the object of which is to restore to the
country constitutional government, and
to ourselves our personal and political
rights.

THE DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS.

We owe no apology to our readers
for giving up SO much of our space to-
day to the publication of the address
of the Democratic Central Committee
of the State ofLouisiana. The address
is an able one, Of a tone which cannot
be too much admired, and is clear ex,
position of the Revolutionary designs
of the Radical party, and conclusive
argument in favor Of the necessity O
organizing the Democratic party to pre-
vent the Radicals from retaining any
longer the power which they have
abused until the country has beer
brought to the very verge of destruc'
ton. We have no doubt that the re-
commentators ofthe Central Commit
tee will be adopted in every Parish II
the State, and that the approaching
Democratic Convention in New Orleans
will bring back wildly the memory
of similar assemblies in other days
when great national party had con
troll of the government, and when it,
benign sway brought peace happines!
and prosperity to the people of all sec
tons. The call is intended to embrace
men ofall former political organization
and the invitation is extended to every
conservative Citizen to join the ranks
of the only party which has vitality
enough to oppose any formidable Oh
stacles to the further advance of Radi
cal principles. 1t is no time now to in
duIge in chickering's whichare the result
Of former political antagonism; let al
rather lay aside their former prejudice'
and work together for the common
welfare Of the country. -.
It may be objected that the Democ'
racy of the South being denied the
right of suffrage are powerless fo1
good, and that the battle must be
fought and won by the conservative
masses of the North. This objection
we hold to be entirely untenable. We
know not whether there may not be
some plan contrive by which the PEG.
pie Of the South may be permitted tc
have voice in the Election of the
next President of the United States
But even should that privilege be de-
MED them, it is their duty to enter
their quiet, though firm and decided
protest, against the doctrines which are
fast hurrying them to destruction
Were they to remain passive, the Rad
icals might allege with some plausibili.
ty that the Southern people are salts
fed with their situation, and that the
Northern Conservatives are engaged
in Quixotic enterprissto benefit those
who do not need their services. The
organization Of the Southern Democra.
cy would dlspel any such delusion, and
would greatly strengthen the hands o.
our Northern friends who are so noblJ
doing battle to rescue us from our pre-.
sent degradation.
We have abundant reasons for hope
that the labors Of the Democracy viii
not be in vain. Signs Of a reaction are
visible all over the North, and the in.
dications now are that the Democracy
willIsweep everything beforethem inthe
approaching campaign. Let us await
patiently SO desirable a eOnsummation
