four years Pandemonium-robbe the

chised the negro, while driving the white
man from the ballOt-box And the knaves
call their course ''progress"l Cromwell
| called it the ''L0rd's work, - when he put
his feet upon all that was best and noblest
in England, stabbed his dragons in her

Marat preached fraternity when the heads
of hundreds of innocent women were
falling beneath the guillotine, and
little children were hung, shot and
drowned in the name of lib
erty. If resistance TO the course
which the Radical party is, and has 2been
pursuing be not the privilege, nay, the
duty, of the people, then the teachings of
aa history are wholly false-and the prin-
ciples for which our fathers fought were
but so much clap-trap. Despising con
solidated nationality, and believing in
State rights, General Government of
limited powers, with three branches nle-
pendent of each other, we shall co oper-
ate with the grand, heroic, national, old
Democratic party-ever the party of the
country, of the Constitution and of Lib,

seventy years, in honor, freedom, pros
perity and greatness, it is the only histori-
cal party of the country; it is the only
guardian of the Constitution, it is the only
hope of liberty. 1t cannot die and the
republic live! They are bound in a
common fate as they are linked in
common history. If Democracy means
nothing else at present, it surely means to
be an enemy of the Radical party, and
that simple fact win lead every patriot
into its ranks. The question for the
Southern people to determine is, VIII you
support the Radicals who have oppressed
you, who have spread over the whole
country the black mantle of tyranny, dis
tress and fear2 Or, will you join the
Democrats, who everywhere in the United
States, arc striving to save us and them
selves from the evils and terrors of mis-
rule? What other party can the South
look to as the party of self-preservation
than the Democratic party now struggling
for the restoration and perpetuation of the
august principles of the Constitution In
this organization, we firmly believe, isthe
only hope of the country. With all our
heart, then, while discarding dead issues,
let us take care of the living principles
of the Constitution by standing firmly
with that great political organization
which now, in every State, is making
such a gallant fight for their rescue,
maintenance and perpetuatiOn.

Expedition for Cuba. .=l


New York, May 15.-Saturday P. NJ,
between two and nine o'clock, an expedi-
ton sailed for Cuba under the command
Of Col. Cristo. The expedition numbered
300 men, all Cubans, with the exception of
five American Captains. They carried
with them 20, 600 rifles, consisting OF Rem
ington, Winchester and Enfield; 1000
muskets. 200 revolvers, 100 axes, battery
of six large guns, uniforms, equipments
and about two tons of powder. They
sailed on board steamer, going to Sam
Domingo as regular passengers, where
Gen. Williams is waiting for them.
Movements of the Ecnians.
The Fenian movements toward Red nv
er is percepublY imminent. John ONeill
and his chief of staff, Gen. J. ]. Donnelly,
of Utica, leave this evening for Chicago.
They 60 thither to effect a complete con-
centration of forces designed to oppose the
British expedition against the Red river
insurgents, and 10 assume command of
them. Many couriers who have heretofore
been reported as leaving various points,
bore dispatches to those leaders North and
West, commanding detachments of l. o.
r., to take part in the coming struggle to
facilitate and hasten to the fulflment of in
structions contained in them, will be the
Generals first business. We learn that
even now the Fenians are moving from all
points toward Red river, which is O'Neill's
ultimate destination. This we learn from
reliable sources A feint may be made on
the Eastern frontier by another party. Red
river will be the scene Of the real attack.
The Fenians have 900 well armed men at
Dunleith Mimi, at the head of Lake Su-
pc, 'or all ready to march when and
wh 7er ordered. Two hundred and

had taught themselves they had no country
but the South. A Virginian or Carolinian
called himself Virginian or Carolinlan,
but never an American, and SO when the
rebellion came the South was ready for 1t,
because it had lost its patriotism. The
great mass of the people of the South
might emerge from their personal preJu-
dices' and come up to the standard OF
American nationality. He said the re-
moval of political disabilities had been
asked for by the Republican conventions
in all of the reconstructed States, and the
success of the Republican party South was
mainly dependent upon this fact.
Mr. Morton, replying to the remarks by
Mr.. Ferry, that the national flag was now
honored in every part of the country,
he said the men whom it was now propos7
ed to relieve would never honor the flag.
He was present last year at a fair in C7eor-
gia, when the committee having charge OF
the arrangements refused to hoist the flag.
For himself he would say he never would
consent that any one who participated IN
the rebellion should ever come into Con
gress, or take part in the Government TIL
he had given evidence of returning loyal
~, of Cancellation. 1t would sacrifice the
Union men of the South to conciliate with
the Rebels The simple proposition was
TO ignore the condition of things in the
South and to shut our eyes to truth. The
only safe course to pursue was to recognize
truth, and deal with the enemies OF law
and order IN the South as justice requires.
Mr.. Warner thought the best interests of
the South could be secured by the ascend
ancy of the Republican party. Forty-three
of the intelligent Republicans of the South |
were convinced that political disabili- |
ties were a hindrance to the success of the |
party.
Mr.. Williams inquired whether they had |
not constantly kept clamoring for mill |
tary force in the South to protect the loyal |
men from the disloyal. He would ask the |
Senator if he had not insisted upon the in
crease of the United States army to afford /
protection in the South.
Mr.. Warner replied that he did, and
went on TO show that the political disabil-
tiles of the Southern people was the real
cause of the difficulty.
At 5 30 the Senate went into Executive |
session, and then adjourned.

The preparations for opening Skating
Rink in what has been known as the New
Theatre, ON the corner of Summer and
Union streets, are rapidly drawing to a
conclusion. 1t is very much to the grati6-
cation Of our citizens that henceforth that
building, renovated and repaired, is to be
the scene-of the most innocent and grace
ful amusement which has ever been intro
duced in our city. The Rink at McClure's
Hall in Edgefeld, just beyond the bridge,
is thronged with spectators, and with youth
and beauty anxious to learn the evolutions
prior to the opening of the city rink.

The gun and locksmith establishment of
Mr.. William Rear, No. 90 Deaderick
street, was burglariously entered on Sum-
day night by some rascals on robbery bent.
They must have affected their entrance and
exit through some adjoining apartments,
as the front door and windows were secure.
The thieves distracted five or six pistols
from one of the drawers and escaped. Six
dollars in small change in an adjoining
drawer remained undisturbed, it having
escaped the eyes of the burglars There
is no clue to the perpetrators, though it is
surmised that they are in some may con-
nected with the parties who robbed the
same premises several months since.

A correspondent of the Memphis Ap-
peal writing from this city concludes his
letter as follows:
Nashville, as site for large city, is
undoubtedly the most beautiful and com
handing on this continent Its beauties
grow OF me every time I visit it; and
though l have seen every large city on the
continent except Mexico and San Francis
CO, have seen none whose natural at
fractions approach those the eye oan here
see. In all directions, but especially
South and West, it stretches away for
miles, swell and hill rising above and be-
yond each other, until it is panorama of
OF enchantment when bathed in the sun
light. There is much more solid wealth
here than in Memphis; and this is evinced
IN the many elegant and costly mansions
on some of the streets. That Of J II Lea
will be the most elegant in the whole
State when finished. The city has up
ward of 10000 people, and is growing
quite fast, real estate having taken a
decidedly upward tendency.
