We print on our FIRST page, the Ad-
dress of the Democratic Senators and
Representatives in Congress to the Ameri.
can Democracy. 1t foreshadows the
grounds upon which the Democracy will
make the Presidential contest of 1872,
aud as will be seen. fully recognizes the
changed situation Of the country. We
commend it to the attention of those ex-
treme pen who by partisan appeals to
popular prejudices, and for>the sake Of
local triumphs, would endanger the
national contest. These extreme men,
have denounced US, and others, as semi
radical, because We advocated the very
ideas set forth in this address; or, in
other words, that we recognized negro
testimony and such questions, as they
practically ecist, and not as we would
have them. These men must cease now,
or throw themselves in direct opposition
to the National Democracy, In the fol-
lowing extract our duty is pointed outin
language that cannot be mistaken:
"We earnestly entreat our fellow citi-
zens in all parts of the Union to spare
no effort to maintain peace and order, to
carefully protect tne ffghts of every citi-
zen. to preserve kindly relations among
all men, and to discountenance .and dis
courage any violatioR of the rights ofany
portion of the people secored under the
Constitution or any Of is amendments.
Let us in conclusion earnestly beg of
you not to aid the present attempts of
the Radical partisans 20 stir up strife in
the land, to rene1o tie issues Of the i0ar,
or to obstruct the return of peace and
prosperity to the Southern States, be-
cause it is thus that they seek to divert
the attention of the country from the
corruption and extravaganza of their ad
ministration of public offices, and the
dangerous and profigate attempts they
are making toward the creation of cen
tralized military government"
That is the platform upon which the
Democratic party in the South must unite.
We can win upon no other.

The Force Bill passed by the late Con-
gress makes crisis in the political his
tory of this nation, winch calls for all
the history of a great people to meetit
properly. 1t violates not only the spirit
of the constitution, but several distinct
provisions Of that instrument In any
other country than our own it would
lead to ciyiIsNar, and would with us but
for the bitter suffering through which the
people have so recently passed The
people of the South have again to com
mand moderation and forbearance, and
Fdiscountenanee violence and disorder.
The New York Post, Radical paper,
gives this sound advice, in regard to the
bill
"The Constitution, which has been
outraged by this bill. provides the means
for its own vindication, On the first test
case which can be brought before the Su-
preme Court Of the United StGes. twill
doubtless be found and declared, in a way
which fanaticism itself viii heed, that
Congress cannot abolish the States and
repeal the Constitution. Even should
it be impossible to obtain such judg
ment before the next meeting of Con-
grN, yet the act will ere then have been
Studied by the people; and public opin
ion will demand imperatively that il be
removed from the statute book. BY
such means only can usurpation. uuder
the forms of law, be met in a manner
worthy of the nation, and the means, we
are confident, are adequate to the end.
Meauwhilesit is Of the first Importance
that citizens who are opposed to this act,
and see its dangerous character, should
practice moderation and forbearance IN
their resistance to it. If the Democrats
are sincere in their opposition to cen
tralization, or If they have either patriot
ism or political sagacity among them,
they will 90 to the extreme limits of their
influence in quieting their disorderly and
rebellious allies throughout the South
ern States. There viii then be no State
in the Union which will not welcome the
overthrow of this force bill, in the courts
or 10 Congress, by any peaceful and con-
stitutional means.

We publish elsewhere. this morning,
an official communication from Governor
Senter to the Sheriff of Weakley coun-
ty, which, though peremptory in it's tone,
will strike the great majority of those
who read il as abundantly justified by
the grave nature of the circumstances
under which itwas written. Hardly has
the ink with which President Grant so
eagerly signed the Kuklux bill dried
upon the paper before the telegraph
flashes over the country one of the most
fagrant outrages yet committed within
our borders. 1t was deed redolent of
lawlessness, and marked by a contemptu
GUS defiance of the constituted authori-
ties, such as can be repressed only by
the sternest measures. Will the people
sustain Governor Senter in his determi
nation to preserve order in Tennessee at
all hazards, or, shall these midnight as
sassins, while wreaking vengeance upon
their victims, murder our liberties at the
same blow2 Congress has clothed the
President with extraordinary powers, far
less limited than those ever exercised by
a proclaimed dictator. His renomiDa
tion is already an accepted fact with the
patty of prescription. His reelection
rests in a good measure with himself and
the bayonets at his back. Now, we do
not propose that the vote of Tennessee
shall be cast for Grant, either volantari-
ly oHby force, in 1872 There is clear
majority of from 10000 TO T0000in our
noble old State ready to be rolled up for
the nominee of the Democratic party,
but with the midnight marauders and
banded outlaws electioneering so eff
ciently against US, God only knows what
will be the result. Perhaps the strong
er power so significantly referred to by
Governor Senter, will settle the matter
for us, after all NasAville Bonaer.

What the Democratic Address


The eriticisnl which has been made in
some Radical quarters of the language OF
that portion Of the Democratic address,
which calls on all our fellow citizens in
all parts Of the Union to spare no effort
to carefully protect the rights of every
citizen, TO preserve kindly relations
among all men, and to discountenance and
dicourage any violation of the rights of
any portion of the people under the
Constitution or any Of its amendments,
says the Washington dispatch, is untrue
SO far as it IS intended TO make it appear
that. the Democratic caucus did not re-
cognize the validity of the Fourteenth
aud Fifteenth Amendments, or the leg
islation under them. While the Dem
ocratic members did not believe that the
reconstruction acts were constitutional
nor approve of the way the Fifteenth
Amendment was ratified, because certain
States were denied admission into the
Union ill forced to ratify it, they at the
same time propose to accept both as of
full effect This was what the tenor of
the debate indicated, and what the above
language of the address was intended to
convey. Only three membaEs of the
party-two from Maryland and one from
Delaware-opposed it.

The Radical Declaration of
VEnr

The passage of the Kuklux bill and
rejection of the general amnesty bill,
furnish conclusive proof of the campaign
policy on which the Radicals mean to re-
" next year The Kuklux bill is ex.
pected to foment disturbance in the
South which will supply pretext for the
refusal of amnesty; aud the relations Of
the people of the two sections thus mud
died. the bayonet election law may be
brought to bear upon the ballot box with
show of necessity If not of justice.
This is the warlike strategy to which We
have SO often referred. 1t is scheme
made up partly Of the spirit Of eternal
hate and partly OF the lust of eternal
rapine, hideous revolutionary scheme
the more hideous because it is brutal, the
more cruel because tits deliberate, ap-
pealiBg to the wicked passions of the
Northern people aud the yenal desires Of
the Radical politicians.

Gov. King in his letter to the Ken
tueKian says. Il did write letter un
der the foregoing circumstances, to the
Hon. LucieD Anderson for relief, who
was then In power in this district, and
had and exercised great influence with
his party, not only in this district, but at
Washington.
sThere was nothing in the letter
against democracy. nor in favor of the
republican party, but was alone for per-
sonal relief
Mr.. Anderson says that this statement
of the coBtents of the letter, is correct,
aud that he would willingly furnish said
letter to Gov. King for its publication,
aud his vindication. if he had it, but be
says this letter. with hundreds of others
received by him during the war was de-
stroyed
OF course this statement about the
contents of the letter by Mr.. Anderson,
10 whom the letter was written, is com
plete quietus to the WHOLE thing.
The object of Gov. Kings enemies in
bringing this little electioneering ruse
before the public, just on the eve Of the
nominating convention, IS too plain to
deceive any .---Iifagfield Democrat.

state Salaries and the Income



The Supreme Court of the United
States is uudoing some OF the iniguities
of Congress. 1t is hoped that the wis
dom aud integrity Of that tribunal may
yet be the barrier to avert the overthrow
Unconstitutional liberty, and restrain Con
gress to the exercise only of its rightful
functions. Last week that Court decided
that the Income tax which the Revenue
Department has been collecting for the
last eight or nine years upon the sala-
ries Of State officers, is illegal, uncon-
stitutional and void, A MASSACHUSETTS,
Judge of the State Court refused to pay
the tax upon his salary, his property
was seized, aud the case taken to the
Supreme Court, where it was decided as
we have above indicated
Judge Phister, and other Kentucky
judges, entered their protest against this
assessment as Illegal and unconstltution
al but the Z. S. Court would not heed
their remoustrance.
Fortunately, however,a Massachusetts
judge appeals and is heard. They de-
