We e,rucstly eutreat our fellow citizens
in all parts Of the Union to spare no effort
to maintain peace and order, to carefully
protect the rights OF every citizen. to pre-
serve kindly relations among t men, and
to discountenance and discourage any
violation of the rights Of any portion of
the people secured uuder the cons tite ton,
or any of its amendments.
Let US, in couclsion, earnestly beg of
you not to aid the present attempts of rad
zeal partlsaus to stir up strife in the land
to renew the issues of the war, or to OBJ
struct the return of peace and prosperity
to the Southern States, because it is thus
that they seek to divide the attention of
the country from the corruption and ex-
travagance in their administration of pub
lie affairs, and the dangerous and profit
gate atte.npts they are making towards
the creation Of centralized military gov
ernment.
In the fce years fpeace following the
war, the radical administrations have ex-
pended 81. 200, 100000 for ordinary
purposes alone, being within $500, coo,
600 of the aggregate amount spent for
the same purposes in war and in peace
during the seventy-one years proceeding
June 80, 1861, not including i'll either
case the sum paid upon principal or in-
terest of the public debt.
1t is trltllng with the intelligence of the
people TOR the rauical leaders to pretend
that this vast sum has been honestly ex-
pended Hundreds of millions of it have
been wantonly squanderea. The ex-
pendiures of the government for the fiscal
year ending june 80, 1861, were ou,y
$50, O00, 900, while tor precisely the
sameipnrpose-civ civil list army, navy, pen
sous and Indians-S164, 0U0 600 were
expended during the fiscal year ending
June 50, 1870.
No Indignation can be too stern ano no
scorn too severe tor the. assertions by un-
scrupulous radical leaders that the great
democratic party of the Union has CT can
have sympathy with disorders Oh violence
in any part of the country, or III the de-
privation of any man of his rights under
the constitution. 1t is to protect and pre-
petuate the rights which every freeman
cherishes, to revive in all hearts the feel
ings of friendship, affection and harmony
which are the best guarantees Of law and
order, and throw around the humblest
citizen. wherever he may be, the protect
ing segis of those safeguards of personal
liberty which the Fundamental laws OF the
land assure, chat we invoke the aid of all
good men in the work Of peace aud re-
CANCELLATION. We invite their generous
cooperation, irrespective Of all former
differences of opinion, so that harsh
voice Of discord may be silenced that a
new and dangerous sectional agitation
may be checked that the burdens OF
taxation, direct and indirect. may be re-
dnced to he lowest poiit consistent With
good faith to every just national obliga~
ton and with strictly economics admin
istratlon of the government, and that the
State may be restored in their integrity
and true relation to cur federal union.
The address is signed by all the dem
ocrat!c Senators and Representatives il Con
gress.

foads are very important, and We are
Strong advocates of them but they will
not be Of much direct benefit to people
who are not otherwise prepared to take
ad vantage of them. The church and the
school house lie at the very foundation of
all prosperity. and ruin will come to a
State that undertakes to rear superstruc-
ture upon any other foundation. 1t is
vain for people to say 80 here, and 10
there -before our mines, our forests, our
fields, our rivers, when after ali the sour
ees of life are within themselves. Let
them make themselves what they ought
to be, aud the rest will come. Their
richest treasures are thei- ch ildren.
Make them what they can be made. and
the wilderness will blossom as the
rose

THE New York Sun, Republican
Jurnal, says that if the Republican party
are net so foolish as to renoniinate Cen
Grant, and if the Democrats do not re-
pudiate III the Hampton and Blair heresies
Of the calamitous campaign of 1868, the
Democracy will enter the canvass next
year against heavy odds. 1t suggests that
tac Democrats bring out Mr.. Sumner as
their candidate for 1872. assuring them
that lie viii sweep the country and ami
hilate all of the Republican party which
he does not absorb, why not Butler, Nor
ton, or Wendle Philips.

Senator Lewis a Ku-K!ux.

1t is a noteworthy fact, in connec ton
with the passage of the infamous Ku-
klux oils by Congress, that Senator J. E.
vewis, of this Stats, who voted in its ia
or. was the Grst genuine Ku- K lux, of
which we have aug recollection, in fir-
GINA. Some twelve or fifteen years ago
this gent lsman, at the head of lawless
and aw-defying mob, hung man whom
they had conceived guilty of some offence
Or other, without shift or trial, at the
town Of Port Republic, in the county of
Rockingham. These facts are still fresh
in the memories of men who knew all
about the deed a the time of its commits
sion And this Senator, once himself an
executioner. of lynch law through within
the very shadow Of legal tribunal pre-
sided by, over his own father, threw in an
affirmative vote upon the passage of the
Ku-klux bill. Verify has Senator Lewis
torgotte the Scriptural injunction. "Let
him among ye who is without sin cast the
first stone. "-Lynchburg Republican.

How SOUTH CAROLINA HAS BEEN PILLAG-
ED.-The following may be taken as a
sample of the robbery-for really no milder
term can be applied to ito which
the inhabitants of South Carolina have
been subjected, and which ispart of the
abuse which has led to the calling Of the
tax payers, convention next month. The
Assembly chamber was to be fitted up,
and it was done in the following manner.
A clock at the entrance worth 500 is
charged at 1886; another inside, worth
$74, is charged at 1878 for each of the
twenty committee rooms, a mirror cheap
y mounted was purchased, charged at
1855, not worth half the money Gov.
Scott has refused to allow them 10 be I'M
packed An exceedingly plain CHANDELIER
of 100 burners, which would be dear at
81 600, is charged at $4,000. The
speaker sits in front of a curtain charged
at 81 1865, draped from eornice charged
at 1866. Ten dozen spltioons are lnyoic-
ed at 500 per dozen ; they were SO thick
Oh the floor that forty were broken during
the session. Each committee room had
had an elegant china enamelled toilet set,
at S65 each. But the total is most as
tounding-$92, 800, ofwhich it is safe to
say that more than one-half is fraud
while it is equally certain that S., 200
would have furnished the Assembly room
of Frustrated State acceptably.

for afortnight the blobe is still engaged in
