THE DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS.

The address to the people of the
United States, signed by fourteen
Democratic Senators and ninety -four
Representatives in Congress, sets forth
their views upon the Legislation and
policy IF the Radical party, and defines
in general terms tho position of the
Democratic party upon pending issues
1t has been objected that the address
is ttot sufficiently explicit in the enun-
citation of tho present and future
policy of the party, but we suppose
that tho leaders wisely forebore from
usurpiug the province of a National
Convention, and left the work OF
making platform and the details of
policy to be modified BY the course
of future events. 1t has been pre-
tended by the Republican journals
that the address fails to meet squarely
tho issues made by the war, and
avoids taking decided ground with
reference to the various Constitution
al Amendments guaranteeing suffrage
and equality to tho blacks. There is
no pretence, however, for tho charge.
for the address distinctly recognizes
the rights of every citizen under these
Amendments, and pledges the party
to their support.
Tho address was designed not as
a programme of policy, but as bill
of indictment against the ruling party
charging lavish and corrupt eS-
penditure of the peoples money and
manifold encroachments upon the
peoples rights-corruption, extrava-
ganee, oentralization--a cocrcive pol
Icy which threatens to overthrow
public liberty and to convert this
government into a military dcspotism.
The Ku-Klux Bill is a step to this
end. The government itself fomonts
disorders at the South, that it may
place the Southern States under its
control, and secure their vote ia the
coming Presidential election. !
tn view of this manifest design Of
OF the Radical party 10 provoke dis
turbances at tho South, how timely
the advice of the address, to refrain
from playing into the hands Of our
advcrsaries! Ku-kIux oatrages serve
but to unite tho Radical party and to
swell their majorities at the North.
Bat for these it would die with its
other dcsd issues, which once gave
cohesion and life to tho organization.
It's work is done and mission ended,
unless we of the South give it new
lease of life by furnishing the food
upon which it lives.

MINORITY REPRESENTATION.

According to tho view of the
Charleston Mems, no Convention is
necessary to change the existing sys'
tenn and put the new plan into opera.
tion, since the change would notimpair
the present Constitutional right OF
the voter. The whole aim of tho
Constitution is to secure equality and
prevent discrimination in voting, and
this equality is not at all affected by
granting to every voter, under the
new. system, as many votes as there
ere persons to be elected.
The practical operation of 'rc-
formed voting" was first tested in
Pennsylvania. Through ex-senator
Buckalew's influence, the Pennsylva-
MIA Legislature passed an can act to
d,ine the limits and to Organize the
Town of Bloomsbury" and in the act
n provision for a new voting system
was inserted. The town council was
ordered to consist Of q president and
six (8) members, and the mode of vot-
ing indicated in one Of the sections
OF the act, which reads thus:
"Whcn six persons arc to be cho-
sen, each voter may give one vote to-
each of six persons, one vote and n
half to each Of four, two votes to each
of three, three votes to each Of two.
or six votes to one." On April II,
1870, the election came of. Ex-scp-
ator Buckalcw, the author of the
experiment, cast. the first vote. The
election was held. and the result
protcd satisfactory. The town was
politically divided between tho Dcnfo-
Gratis and tho Opposition. with an
inconsiderable Democratic majority.
The result was, that Of the six eoun-
eilmen elected, three were the regular
party nominees, and three ,werc o.
the. opposition. Under the old sys-
tom all six would have been the regu-
lar party nominees. Thus the princi-
ple, tried on a small scale, was found
lot impractieablc.
1t is suggested that thero need be
no long delay in testing the plan
Aere. Should the May Convention
consider the matter and secure the
cooperation Of leading Republicans,
ihe general elections of 1872 may be
conducted according to the new plan.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous. and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and [ consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
