AT big negro pow-wow held at Ra-
leigh, n. c., last Wednesday, one Hol-
den, son Of the Governor, made a speech
in which he advised the negroes to 90

in which he declared that he spoke mot

the doom of the Southern Democracy
Infamy has no profounder depth than
that which Radicalism has attained.
Scalawags deputized to incite the ne
groes to violence and blOodshed may
hiss into their ears their villianous
counsel, but it will avail nothing in the
end. Such prophets" may accomplish
their own doom, aud that of the negroes
they delude, but the doom of Democra-
cy is far beyond the reach of them and
their sable cohorts.

with the Radical party. They have in
time of peace squandercd one thousand

to increase it at the rate of ten millions

A Lndy,s Tribute TO Gov. Seymour.

The Rcrolution (Mrs. Cady Stanton's
papcr) publishes this extract from let
ter Of a lady in regard to the Presiden-
tial nomination:
Ia private conversation Governor
Seymour is instructive and interesting,
and is, if possible, more remarkable for
his elegance of manner and graceful
courtesy in the drawing room than for
his matchlass eloquence and magnetic
power as public speaker. Although
most captivating in private life, he is in
no sense a man of fnrms or fash'o". i''
his presence the plainest persons are
placed at their ease, and feel at once
they are with u kind and good man,
democratic in all instincts, principles,
and purposes. Simple and unostenta.
tious, strictly temperate, he uses Meth.
or strong nor spurious liquors, nor to-
bacco; of the most refined tastes and
elevated moral, it is said of him, by
those who have known him from his
early youth, that he was never under
the influence of strong drink; never
known to tell an untruth or utter pro-
fame oath-to indulge in vulgar story,
a coarse anecdote or an obscene jest;
nor did he ever violate the proprieties
of the Sabbath, or sit at gamblers Ia.
BILE, or cross the threshold of more fash
ionable vice. Purity of life is with him
a marked characteristic. Educated in
the Episcopal church, he has ever re-
mained faithful to its communion,
adorning its doctrines by blamcless
life and multiplied deeds of charity.
Yet free from sectarianism, he has con-
tributed literally to the erection and
maintenance of every other church and
place of public worship in the city OF
Utica and its vicinity. An active trus-
tee of Hamilton College, "a Presbyterian
institution,) he was made by it an LII
d., rs well as by q Methodist University
in another State. The children of the
orphan asylum have been guests at his
houSe, (Which is a house of prayer,) and
it was noticeable that, when the news
of his nomination for President reached
Utica, these children spontaneously
turned out in procession, and manifested
their JOY in many pleasant ways pecu'
liar to the innocency of childhood.

Strange. passingly strange,
Yet strange as it is, It's true"
On the 9th day of September, party
of Radicals who served throughout the
war under Colonel John Witcher, the
present candidate for Congress in the
Third Congressional District of West
Virginia, entered the town Of Barbours-
vile, armed and equipped, as if they
were going to war again, and tore down
the United States flag belonging to the
Central Seymour Club of this place. A
few of the club were present and be-
came highly incensed at the conduct of
the mob, and attempted to hoist it
again; but they were everpowered and
compelled to abandon their beloved flag
to the mercy of the infuriated mob.
The rebels during the scene occupied
the back ground as silent spectators,
supposing it to be their duty as paroled
prisoners of war to take no hand in the
affair. But in consequence of the un-
called for epithets on the part of the
Radicals, such id rebel flag" &c,
a few of the rebels whose prowess is not
10 be questioned said in bold relief
that the "fag should wave again." and
marched with that same old courage
that was SO clearly demonstrated in the
late rebellion, and hoisted the flag high
in the air and detied those desperadOes
to lay the hand of violence on it again.
The rebels then struck up that old IA
miliar air,
Rally round the flag, boys" &c.
The question is, who are the rebels 7
those who fought and endured all the
privations of soldier for four long
years to sustain the stars and stripes,
or those who fought against it
Such is the true character of the
Radical party in this part of
West Virginia; they tyrannize over
aud disfranchise every one who
does not support them in their de-
sirable undertakings. 1t matters not as
to what position a man occupied during
the rebellion, if he will only vote the
Radical ticket it is all right with them;
but if he is honest enough to say Gen
tlemen, you are wrong; shall not sup
port you by my suffrage" his name is

Let Us Have Peace.

"Let us have peace !" said Gen. GRANT
in his letter Of accep ptance. Sc say We;
so says, in the sincerity of his heart,
every man in the land who does not be-
long to Gen. GRANTS party. The rep
resentstive, however, as he is, of the
Radical party, Gen. GRANT gave utter
ance to the words either in ignorance
or hypocrisy. We know the General is
no SOLOMON. For a time there were
those charitable enough to put the most
favorable construction on the extraor-
binary reticence upon affairs of public
moment so long maintained by him.
That time is past. In an evil hour for
him, the Gene RAILS silence was broken
and then it was discovered that he had
said nothing because he had nothing
to say. When his admirers hung with
an anxiety upon his lips akin TO that
with which men in the olden time
waited for the words of wisdom from
the Delphic oracle, behold the brief ut
terances that fell upon their expectant
tympanums were little better than the
haltipg mutterings of inanity and ig.
uorance. We are fain TO conclude,
therefore, that the Radical candidate
for the Presidency when he said "Let
us have peace " did so at least as much
in ignorance as hypocrisy. While it is
clear that no man who really cOmpre-
hends the situation could attach him
self to the Radical party through any
sincere wish for the restoration and
of peace, it is equally clear
that General GRANTS comprehensi sion of
political or State affairs is, to say the
least, exceedingly circumscribed.
1t is unnecessary to enumerate the
acts of the Radical party proving that
its leaders desire anything rather than
the restoration of peace and quiet to the
country. 1t is unnecessary to show
that since the close of the war, three
years ago, the effect and obvious intent
of Radical policy has been to prevent
the return of the country to its normal
and peaceful condition. These are facts
so we'll known and understood by all,
except General GRANT and those like
him, that to reiterate them here would
be worse than doubling

In the dull ear Of q drowsy man, "

In the uuu ear OF uro"sy HAIL.
What We wish to do, however, at pres
ent, is to call the attention of our read
ers to the remarkable commentary upon
the words of the Radical Presidential
candidate which we have quoted at the
head of this article, furnished by the
conduct of the Radical party and its
leaders at the South. In Tennessee,
BEowNLOw has, under the preteXt of
preserving order, by proclamation,
called out his miscreant militia for the
work of persecution, oppression aud
rapine against all who oppose his
ficndish policy, Notwithstanding the
fact that President JOHNSON has en-
powered General THOMAS to employ such
troops rs may be necessary
to quell disturbances if any really exist.
This is the way in which the leader
of General GRANTS party proposes to
establish peace" in Tennessee. In
North Carolina, that the same sort OF
"peacs" may be established there, one
HOLDEN, not the Governor, but his son,
made a speech to five thousand negroes
the other day urging then "to go to the
polls armed to the teeth" and pronounc-
ing sentence OF "doom" against "the
Southern Democracy. In other South
ern States other apostles of Radicalism
are preaching "peace" pretty much after
the same fashion. Let US have peace!
but Heaven deliver the South and the
Union from the peace of General GRANT
and the Radicals.
