Nowhere
Just We as predicted, The proposition
which the late editor Of thePilot submit
ted and urged, that the Rabid Radical
party should 1iberaIize itself by 'Hcombi-
lining in its nominations old political ele-
''ments Of strength, influence and power"
consisting of home ticket of t'Union
Wings and moderate Democrats, was
utterly secuted. From what We have
heard of Mr.. Vasser, their nominee
for State Treasurer, he i a moderate"
Republican but, with this exception,
the ticket is made up of material more
unscrupulously vindictive and rabidly
radical than the Eggleston-Jamison con-
Germ of last year.
1t Is a saying that renegade christian
is worse than two Turks. Alcorn is AT
the head of the ticket, the very concen-
tration of partizan malignity. Who has
kindled the fires that have tortured the
Southern people since the surrender into
flame more terrifcally consuming than
the Southern men whom their enemies
have enlisted in their service2 Who so
vindictive, at one time, as Brownlow?
Who so full of hate towards his own peo-
pie. as Stokes2 He did not vote for Sc
cession, as did Alcorn, but he helped to
fire the Southern heart after Lincoln's
call for 10 900 men, and did actually en-
list regiment for the Confederate ser
vice? And what can exceed the cold
| blooded cruelty of Alcorn's Walker letter,
wherein the resident white population
under the style of Democracy are ac-
cused of hypocrisy" in their pledges to
the government, and the lament of Its
author uttered at the election Of Senter
whose Republicanism was avouched by
Brownlow himself, and whose triumph
has enfranchised 100, 900 citizens of Ten
nessee who were in the gall of Radical
bondage?
Look at the furious Circulars of Pow
ers, the head of the Radical Executive
Committee by dictation of Ames? Look
at Lynch who published the outrageous
calumny that our white population were
so bloody-minded that no Radical orator,
or Northern Methodist preacher, could
travel in the interior counties without be-
ing assassinated. And at Morris, who oc-
cupied place on the ticket nominated
last year when the RAIDS were fresh from
the orgies of the Mongrel Convention and
were over-confdent of electing the most
ultra men they could find. And at Mus
grove, who,
"Squats like toad close at the ear of Eve''-
Essaying by his sugared words to tempt
men from their patriotism, and Satan-like
taking them to high mountains with prom
Uses of the great things to be done for
them if they will fall down and worship
the Radical Baal.
And PEAsE, worse than all
In vain, was Rev j. j. Wheat put in
nomination, gentleman, christian, a
Mississippian, and a true patriot In vain
did the Stafford men plead for Millsaps
He had no strength. There was no mu-
sic in his name, and less in his surround
ings to make him an acceptable candidate
of the Malignants. Nobody but Pease
would answer their requirements He
was one of their swift witnesses when the
desperate work Of riding rough-shod over
the decision of the people and pinning
them with the bayonet under the disfran-
chising constitution, was to be accom-
plished Here is his statement, as pub
lished in the Volume of Evidence taken
before the Reconstruction Committee ION
the condition of affairs in Mississippi:"
VICKsBURG, MISS, Dec. IS, 1865.
Dear Sir: Your very interesting letter of
the 22d instant. is before me l can assure
YOU that the information it contains is very
gratifying indeed. The loyal people are
looking forwark with most intense interest
to the action OF Congress in their case. They
regard their all at stake in the issue. We
must have loyal government by the loyal
people anu TOT the loyal people OF MISSISSIPPI
pi or all is lost Should Congress adopt a
temporizing policy in our case and give us
a quasl-lOy al government. zee have the alter
ndtiue OF packing oar carpet bags and emgrG-
ma or bling delivered OUer to the tender Gser-
c,es of the hu hla1 democracy.
The reb, Is regard the issue as one of the
most important that has arisen since the
close of the war. 1t is TO them the last
chance, the cleaning season for the "lost
cause" We expect our representatives in yOar
committee, (Of Sirteela) l1U press our claims
and not teaUe stone aR'urRed"
Saw to Congress all we ask is for them to
give US loyal government, AS proposed. on
the basis OF the reconstruction laws, and
then back us up in the constitutional guar
antee of republican form of government,
and we will take care of ourselves.
Now is the time and the only time to strike.
should matters remain in Stdtu quO the bet
ter class of the republicans OF the State will
leave This is settled conviction and de-
termination. They cannot live here, that is
the long and short of it.
You lciH hare learned the particulars Of the
assassination Of General Mckee, no doubt. be-
fore fhiS reaches yOu
This. is but the beginning of the work. /
have no doubt but that il is a settled plan OF
the Ku-kluX democracy 10 dssdSSindte. mur-
der. and destroy ererY republican leade7 IN the
State and nothing but the strong arm of the
government in our hands can prevent it.
In concluding this hastily written letter.
permit me To urge the pressing OF our
cause. Weary those congressman with i'm
portunities as in the case of the widow and
the Judge of holy writ. Give my kindest
regards TO the members of our committee.
Very truly yours, II. Il. PEAsE.
