Mr. RALEIGH T. DANIEL, the Conservative
candidate for Congress from the Stato at large,
has issued an admirable address to the Con-
servativc voters of the Slate. From this ad
dress we make the following extract -
There appears god prospect that with
proper unaDimity aud effort, we shall add 10
the number Of Conservative representatives in
Congress at the approaching election, and the
returns from other States in which elections
have been held and favorable anticlpatlons in
others, strengthen our hope of available oppo
sition to Radical rule. The doors are thrown
wide open tor the admission of all who desire
economy and integrity in the management Of
the treasury, so that the present burden OF
taxation my be thereby mitlgated, regardless
OF former issues or past political association or
name !; bringing about entire CO operation
among all who seek restoration OF the UnlOn
founded upon peace and good will among their
felloW-meu, and a return 10 strict Integrity
among the officers Of the nation and know
no other than this sound Conservative plat
form upon which honest men and patriots OF
all ways of thinking can unite for the rcstora
ton of tolerablo government IN this country.
Surely there is enough OF INDUSTRIOUS evil in its
condition to stir the very stones TO mulny.
We have witnessed the abolition OF old Com
monweaIths, and the substitution in their places
OF governments resting, not on The consent OF
the governed, but upon sheer military f0Ice
outrages which have eveIled their societies
with The dust, treated as transacted things
never to be rehearsed nor undone the over.
throw Of the equilibrium OF the Constitution,
in its internal structure, by the absorption Of
all i,s powers in single department uVa
sions by Congress Of personal liberty, and now
"the proposed use Of the military powers CT the
Government 10 the local management of cleo
tiops in the States by laws formally passed for
the purpose. Shall these abuses have no end
or what is their remedy? We may never see
restored in its original brightness that theory
OF State sovereignty which is the only safe guard
the wit Of man can devise against central mis-.
government, which is the very truth of bisto-
~, and can never be refuted but by falsifying
all lis facts. Let US hope that though sown
now in dshonor it may have resurrection,
for let what vii! perish truth is indestructbe.
