to know if you and the gentlemen
who will join you in that expression,
are willing to pledge the people of
imous devotion to restoring peace and
prosperity to u common country =
1 want to carry that pledge high above
the level of party politics, to the late
officers and soldiers of tie Union army
and the people of the North and West,
and to ask them to consider it, and to
take the necessary action, confident
that it will meet with a response so
warm, generous and confiding that we
shall, in its sunshine, behold the rain
bow of peace in our political sky, now
black with clouds and impending storm.
L know you are n representative man
in reverence and regard for the Union,
the Constitution and the welfare of
the country, and that what you would
say would be endorsed by nine-tenths
Of the whole people of the South but
L should like to have the signatures of
all the representative Southern men
| here who concur in your views, and
the expressions of their concurrence
from the principal officers and repre-
sentative men throughout the South.
This concurrence of opinions and wills,
all tending to peace, order and stabil-
ity, will reassure our Union soldiers
and Congressman who want substan-
tial and solid peace, and cause them to
rise above the level of party politics
and take such steps to meet yours as
will insure a lasting peace with all its
countless blessings
Very truly, your friend,

The South.

The Washington news published in
this issue shows, that GRANT and his
satraps are determined to force Radi-
cal measures upon the un-re-construct-
ed Southern States. The result in
Virginia is not satisfactory to him and
his Cabinet. If the Southern people
are permitted to vote without the in
reference of the military, the ia
nous fifteenth amendment Will be re
jected. The adoption of the amend
ment seems to be greatly desired by
his advisers, and hence, he will inter
fere with the elections to be held III
several of the Southern States, by pla-
cling the military at the polls, to men
ace the people.

A New Political Party.

A State Temperance Convention was
held at Miller's Hall, in Mansfield, on
Wednesday last, which resolved itself
into a third political party, and nomi-
mated the following State ticket:
GOUsrnor-J. Z. Ingersol, of Cleve-
land.
Lieut.. Goreynor--Dr. Wadsworth, OF
Cincinnati.
ZTeasurer--Thos. Edmondson, OF
Clark county.

Summit county.
Member Of Board Of Public Works-L.
Is. Silver of Columbia.
This is the knell of the played out,
Republican party in Ohio. The de-
cent portion of that party is becoming
disguised with the whisky r~ascalities
of the GRANT Administration, and are
determined to abandon the party

Hard Times.

1t will be recollected by all, that
during the late Presidential Campaign,
the Radical leaders and Presses as
serted that the election of General
Grant to the Presidency would bring
immediate prosperity TO u country
and dissipate all the dangers of disun-
ion and restore permanent peace.
Having been harassed for six years
by a bloody and relentless civil war,
and being loaded with extraordinary
aud oppressive taxes, the people were
led to support the p~retensions of the
second (?) WAsHINGToN, that the pre-
:dictions of the Republican politicians
might be realized.
! General GRANT has been President
nearly five months, and has had a
Cabinet and a Congress ~subservient to
his will, and who stand ready to al
ry out his edicts. Have we the peace,
the prosperity, and the happiness pre-
dicted by his supporters?
Money has never been more strin-
gent-trade of every kind is languish-
ing-commercial and manufacturing
establishments of all kinds are failing
the laboring masses are out of work
and are unable to obtain any-money
is to be obtained at ruinous rates and
on short time, and all seems dark for
the future.
Surely GRANT and his hackers have
deceived the people, and deserve their
condemnation. Will an indignant
people scorn their promises hereafter
