The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1869-07-29

Intelligence from every part of the
State, convinces us, that, in the approach
ing election the National Union Republi-
can Party will succeed by an overwhelm-
ing majority. Indeed, we would by no
means be surprised to find that the Eggle-
ston gang of Radicals entirely abandon the
canvass long before the day of election.
The real people of Mississippi, of both
races, are so firmly convinced that it is
their interest to support the Conservative
ticket, that there viii scarcely be division
at the polls. True, there are few de-
graded and recreant white Mississippians
who will adhere to the carpet-baggers /;
and such vicious and ignorant colored
men as can be humbugged by the vile
crew, viii, of course, adhere to the inn
proper position in which they were placed
by the Loyal Leaguers. Educated, in
telligent, decent and sensible colored peo-
pie, all over the State, viii vote the Ma
tiOnal Union Republican ticket. They
very well know that that party stands
upon the Grant platform that the Presi-
dent looks with approval upon the organ
ization; and that the rights ofthe colored
man can alone be secured by the success
of that party. White citizens, having no
ticket composed of Southern men. are
forced to mere choice between the two
Republican parties; and surely it needs
no argument to show that it is our obvious
duty warmly to support the Conservative
party.

From the Koseiusko Chronicl
Judge Dent for Governor.

1t is pretty well understood that this dis
tinguished gentleman. Judge Lewis Dent
will be the nominee of the Conservative
Republican p@rty for Governor of the State
OF Mississippi. While we claim TO be a
Conservative of the strictest school. we are
still of opinion that policy would dictate
that If Judge Dent is the nominee of the
moderate Republican party. and they fill
their State ticket with gentlemen of mOder-
ate views-that the Conservatives of Missis-
sippi, like those of Virginia unite with this
party, to overthrow the Vaccinations OF the
Bltter-end Eggieston faction of the State
The platform of this party is, in the main
unexceptionable, and with the proper men
as candidates, we can see no objection to the
Conservatives adopting them; when by do
ing so, they insure reconstruction, and the
triumph of liberal principles, in opposition
TO the Bitter-end faction.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
If Mr.. Boutwell, attempted to lay down
the law of reconstruction of the South to
the President, few days ago, and to in
struct him in his duties, the act may have
been that of most sincere, earnest, and
honest man. but it was not that of dis
Greet and wise man, temperate and clear in
his judgment and deliberate in action.
According to appearances General Grant
was not profoundly impressed that the cleo
ton of Walker in Virginia was the restOra-
ton of the Southern Confederacy, and that
the election of Senter in Tennessee, and
Dent in Mississippi, would destroy the last
hope of free government upon the face of
the earth. The Conservative papers in Mis-
sissippi claim, emphatically, that the Pres
ident is against the -Bitter-Ender" and
heartily opposed to the "EgglestOn clique"
We adhere to the opinion very often ex-
pressed In these columns, that there can be
no real peace in the South as long as there
is a large DISTINGUISHED class. 1t illustrates
a great triumph of good Republican princi-
pie when the late rebels come forward cheer
fully upon the high and impregnable
ground of impartial suffrage and universal
amnesty. 1t is the accomplishment of a
mighty and glorious work when the whites
of the South consent cheerfully to the ed
reimbursement of the blacks.
From the Washington Chronicle, July 10th.
| am already referred to the manlier atti-
tude of the late Southern Democracy. They
are now not only IN dead earnest for univer-
sal suffrage and the fifteenth amendment in
Virginia and Mississippi, but even in Ken
lucky they submit to it, and sensibly pre-
pare for the new relations it imposes. l am
now fully convinced that Colonel Walkers
course since the election i'll Virginia has
committed the rank and file of his party to
these fundamental reforms, and that this ex-
ample will be irresistible in its influence
upon the CONSERVATIVES" of other Southern
States. Do not be misled by the allegation
of some of our sensitive friends that this
sanction is given under "duress" of the con-
Citions of the acts of reconstruction.

Southern Politics.

A RADICAL CoRREsPoNDENT on THE
ADMINISTRATIONS COURSE.
Washington Special (l4th) to the Cincinnati
Commercial.
1t is very probable that Stokes, the
Radical candidate in Tennessee, will re.
ceive a decided support from the Govern
ment. OF course these facts have attained
more than ordinary comment in political
circles, but in no quarter have they been
received with greater dismay than by
the Mississippi fuglemen and their chosen
chieftain, Judge Dent.
The latter, incehsed at Secretary Bout
Wells course, or ignorant Of it, called on
him this morning, for the purpose of Sc
curing his patronage of the Treasury
Department to aid him in the canvass.
Secretary Boutwell,, without circumlocu-
ton, and without curtness, informed him
that his request would not be considered,
adding that the appointments already
made had been given to persons whose
loyalty to the platform on which Presi-
dent Grant was elected, is undoubted.
1t is rumored, and generally believed
that this declaration was followed by high
words, during which Judge Dent claimed
to be as loyal TO the administration as
Mr.. Boutwell,. The result Of the inter-
view was the withdrawal of the Judge
from the presence of the Secretary in a
great rage.

A striking similarity.

The organs of the Eggleston- Alcorn
faction are repeating the same game here
in Mississippi, that was played by the
Wells newspapers in Virginia Nothing
is left unsaid to beIittle and disparage
their Conservative Republican opponents.
After Walker and his associates In Vir-
ginia bolted the Convention of Extremists,
and organized party of their own, the
condition and prospects of the parties we're
thus described by the Richmond State
Journal, the Wells organ: ah
sour (Ritter- End) organization Is well
nigh erfect, while our opponents are little
better than a disorgaBized and leaderless
mob. The only portion of the party that
can lay claim to the least semblance Of or
ganiZation, is that composed of the two hun
dred and odd galvanized Democrats (COn-
sentative Republieans) who formerly gave
a lukewarm support to the Republican par
ty, but who, pretending To be dissatisfied
with the Petersburg Convention, seized that
us prete1t for DESERVING TO the enemy. These
gentlemen, have no doubt. very complete
organization-quite small it is true, but then
what 1t lacks in numbers, it makes up in re-
spectability. They hOt5erer represent no T0T-
ttOR OF the pegpte aud no party knOlon to the peO-

pocket nomination, putting forth the names
of Messrs. Walker, Lewis and Taylor (Con-
sentative Republicans) for the principal
State Offices. With0ut fH any manner achdteuer,
consulting that source Of all pOl0eT, the people.
They have thus impertinenuy and imperi-
Ously undertaken to dictate to the masses,
and force upon them a set of candidates
whose names MANY of them had never heard
before. 1t is the height of impudence for
this small coterie of respectabies," so-call-

This is the style in which the organs of
the Bitter-Enders treated the movement
of the Liberal Republicans in Virginia.
1t is reproduced in spirit, and almost in
exact language, by their eo-laborers in
Mississippi. The result will be the same.
