are notices worthy of the men and OF
the times. With the men, whom good faith
proclaim them, we can have no quarrel about
mere names, at least until our State is re-
stored to her proper place in the Union, and
is freed for military rule. The signers oil
this address are guarantees of the good falth

From the Vicksburg Times.
There are many points in the circular,
which will commend it to moderate and
fair-minded men. There is tone of fair
ness, an absence of acrimony ,vengefal feel
ings, and harsh asperity. which we are glad
TO notice. If such feelings can control the
more violent and radical element in Rep"b-
licanism; or, should the latter persist In still
breathing out threatenings and political
slaughter, if these more moderate advisers
claiming to be in accord with Grants adj
ministration and the National Republican
party-can become power i'll the State,
certainly Conservatives will rejoice. AT
present, however, it is a matter with which
the latter have nothing to do. They have
neither right, nor have they been asked to
interfere, or express an opinion. The differ
ences existing in the Republican party as
to future political prescription and isfran-
chisement, must be first agitated and dis
cussed among themselves and by their lead
ers. Ifthere are two wings in the organiza-
ton, when each has promulgated its own
plan and purpose, it will be time enough for
praise or censure; for public or private OPP
position or support.
