The following letter from old Thad. is
found in the Washington Chronicle, of the
18th instant, addressed 10 the editor of that
paper;
DEAR SIR; have long, and with such
ability ms could command, reflected upon
the subject OF the Declaration of Indepen
dence, and finally have come to the sincere
conclusion that universal suffrage was one
OF the inalienabe rights intended to be en-
braccd in that instrument by our fathers at
the time of the declaration; and that they
were prevented from inserting it in the Con-
.tituton by slavery alone.
They had no intention to abandon it MS
one Of The finaly-enumerated rights, but sim
ply to postpone it,
The Committee on Reconstruction have
inserted that provisions with great mauim-
ty in the bill admitting the State of Alaba-
ma in the Union.
They have finally resolved that no State
shall be admitted into the Union unless under
that condition.
] have deemed this notice necessary that
the States now in process of construction OF
reconstruction may be advised thereof

The Price Of Loyalty"

That sickening dose which the country has
had to swallow, called loyalty, which Is bu,
another name for treason, and which has
been too glibly banded by the tongues of all
the base scoundrels who could make A spoC CHI
or insult Heaven with what they called
'prayers," or WELD classifying pen, is now
producing its fruits. A sale of real estate
took place in Atlanta, Georgia. the other
day, which realized the sum of $1,000 in
currency, or $4,000 gold valuation. This
property cost prior to 1860 $40, 600 in gold.
Atlanta was baptised into "loyalty" by Sher-
man and his bnmmers near four years ago
and the influence of that political sentiment;
that virtue upon the natural prosperity OF
the country, may be inferred by the dslerior-
alton Of the value of property in Atlanta 9C
per cent. We find the fruits of 'loyalty'
cropping out, after the same sort, all over the
South. 6eBah-the term "loyally' is stencil
in the nostrls OF every true patriot. II has
been the rallying cry since 1860 of all the
political vagabonds, public thieves, and
moral undergraduates which the diseased
social system of New England has poisoned
the country with. "Loyalty" means infa-

THE Ku-KLuX CuARTER.-Says the Pulaski
CihseR In answer TO nemerous correspond
erts hom far and near making inquiries Of
Us in regard to the Hu-Klux, and how they
must proceed to obtain a charter, we make
the general reply, that We cannot give them
any Information, positive, but we suggest to
them that perhaps similar inquiries made
through the poStoiice Of the Great Grand
Cyclops, who il is said makes his headquar-
tiers here, might receive more satisfactory
rrply. We don't know hoy he would get the
communicati ion, ne no one pretends TO know
who he is, but after reading the numerous
accounts Of the wonderful things performed
by the Ku-Rlux We begin to think that
there are very few Thugs impossibls with

Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 186?-1872, 1868-03-20

Did We not know that the brazen
impudcnce of Radicals "passeth all
understanding" we might have been
surprised to learn that organs of that
party, in this State, are denouncing
the Kuklux as a secret political or.
organization, and calling for their
arrest and suppression by the arm of
tyranny. This outcIy comes, from
those who belong to loyal leagues
or G., A. r, or both, and these are
secret political associations, banded
TO ccther for the destruction Of all the
rights of those who demur to their
dogmas, and to secure for their own
partizans Offices for which they are
about as well qualified as Caligula' s
horse for the Consulship.
Those are not only secret po1itical
associations organized for most infa
nous purposes, but they are armed
TO the teeth, for the accomplishment
of those purposes. But with these
exquisitely pure specimens of every
form Of vice and ignorance, it make,
great difference, as TO whose OK i,
gored. 1t is all right in them tC
band together TO murder and roll
the elite of the people, but tn,
faintest suspicion that the victims o.
their tyranny may adopt similar
measures for self defense, suggests
daring crime against his royal high
ness, the fighting parson, and the
lesser lights that gevolve around him
like moths around farthing candle
We know nothing of the Kukl0x
being too short, bysix Freight feet, t.
cntitle us to membership; but they
must be a terrible set TO have alarmed
our brave rulers for the safety of tn,
State government, and forced then
TO call on Grant for aid.

II is unpleasant to see, day after

Ii is unpleasant to see, day after
day, the assertion confidently made,
by parties who ought to be posted,
that impeachment will prove to be a
farce, because, forsooth, conviction is
impossible under the provisions of
the Constitution. Had this instru-
ment been held sacred by the Radi-
calls, heretofore, there would be good
ground for the assumption but
when it is remembered that all the
leading acts of that party have no
sanction in the Constitution, and
that Congress is, itself, an unconsti-
tutional body, any hope based upon
its respect for organic law is utterly
fallacious.
Be it remembered, too, that, go far,
every plan formed by the Radicals,
has been successfully carried out, in
spite of the Constitution and the
Executive, and to hope there will be
a different result for impeachment,
borders upon the preposterous. They
have reached that point in the current
of revolution when it is safer to go
forward than to turn back. 1t is true
that the President, nerveless and
procrastinating, has never interposed
any serious obstacle to their treason
able course, but he has laid bare the
lawlessness Of their acts, and the
criminality of their motives, and it
is for this they resolved to get rid of
him, that they might substitute base
ind INSCRIPTIONS tool, whose bust
ness it will be to play the part of a
mercenary upon the watch tower OF
liberty, and to cry, all is well f! when
the conspirators are at the threshold
of the citadel.
The vcriest tyro, in Constitutional
law, is at no loss to determine that it
furnishes no authority for the i'm
parchment of the President upon
the grounds taken by his prosecutors;
but the question is not one of justice
or legal authority, but of the power
of usurpers to override both. That
they have the power and the will has
been repeatedly demonstrated, and
will be again, in the trial of the
President. .
1t is not right to mislead the pub
lie on this subject. The conviction
of the President is a forogone con-
clusion, and that end consummated,
it is not difficult to foresee the dan
gerous steps that must be taken to
force popular submission to the des
potism that will have been establish
ed. The mask can then be no longer
worn, dnd Grants part of the pro
gramme will be enacted, and force
the only argument that will be used
TO enforce submission.

General Grant in 1861.

The Randolph MOI Citizen publishes some
interesting "reminiscences Of General Grant
one Of which we copy below
In the summer of 1861 General Grant
then Colonel of the 2lst Illinois regiment of
infantry, was stationedsat Mexico on the
North Missouri Railroad, and had command
Of the post. Ulysses the silent was then
Ulysses the garrulous, and embraced every
fair opportunity which came In his way to
express his sentiments and opinions in regard
to political affairs. 0ne of the declarations
we distinctly remember. In public con.
versation In Ringo's bankiag-honse, a ster-
ling Union man put this question to him -
"What do you honestly think was the real
object on tue part of the Federal Govern
ment?"
"Sir" said Grant a have no doubt in the
world that the sole object Is the restoration
OF the Union. will say further, though,
that am q Democrat--every man In my reg
iment is Democrat---and whenever 1 shall
be convinced that this war has 70, its object
any thing else than what | have mentioned.

poses OF the Abolitionists, pledge you my
word as man and soldier that | viii not
only resign my commission, but will carry
my sword to the other side, aud cast my lot

CONCERNING the state OF political feeling in
New York, recent letter from, there says /:
will close with word on politics. The
result in New Hampshire does not surprise
nor discourage. A different one was desired,
but hardly expected. Some Democrats are
inclined to blame Mr.. Belmont, Chairman of
the National Committee, on the ground that
be did not exert himself properly early in the
campaign. i cannot say what foundation
there is for the charge, but know that many
Democrats would like to see more active
man in Mr. Belmont's place. The belief that
Mr.. johnson will not be deposed is gaining
ground daily. He means to give Congress
enough of Impeachment, and private advices
say he is perfectly confident of coming out
OF the Conflict with flying colors. New York
is perfectly cam again, and business is be-
coming lively. Merchants refuse to believe
in impeachment, and the general impression
is that the President is as safe as he was be-
fore his attempt TO remove Stanton.
