At recent election in Charleston, S. c.,
the indications of violence were so threaten
ing that United States soldiers were stationed
at every polling place, and mounted reserve
held in readiness at the Arsenal to be sent to
any point necessary. This was done at the
request of the best men of both parties, and
the papers on both sides speak in terms of
appreciation. The Republican says:
The city of Charleston yesterday had a
piece of that "despotism" over which the
Democratic press of the whole land went into
spasms when twas displayed in New York,
and that is, Federal bayonets at the polls
And yet in our case they We're placed there
at the desire of our best citizens of both par
ties. And right well did they do their duty
The three or four bayonets at each polling
precinct kept the most admirable order
There was nothing of the cover awning which
some journalist have hitherto seen fit to con-
meet with bayonets at the polls, but on the
contrary all parties felt the greater confidence
in their presence as insuring full and fair
| expression of the will of the people through
the ballot. Democrats themselves have thus
helped to destroy an old Democratic bug

The Worcester Spy says the Colt excur
sionists were thoroughly interviewed" by the
Custom House officers in Boston, it seems, on
Saturday morning. The interview lasted
four and half hours, during which little
private matters, such as an occasional ease OF
choice brandy, kid gloves, vest patterns, &c.
were rudely raked open and exposed to the
general and astonished gaze of fellow excur-
sionists. Not that the good people intended
to smuggle; but the opportunity to buy things
cheap presented itself, and they event in" for
silk umbrellas, brandy, and various other
Injuries, both of wet and dry nature, think
ing it no harm and a great saving of money.
The Custom House officers at st. John, who
had become cognizant of the extent of their
purchases, telegraphed to the Boston Custom
House OIL the subject, and hence the over
hauling they got. After it was all over the
officers concluded that there was no criminal
intention on the part of the pleasure seekers
to profit at the expense of the Government
whose kind care they had been reared under,
and let them off-what few were found with
anything upon them-on payment of proper
duty.

PLAIN TALK FROM 4 DEMOCRAT.

Col. John NJ. Connell of Lancaster, Ohio,
having been invited by the Democratic State
Executive Committee to enter the pending
canvass as a speaker, responds by letter ad-
dressed to Senator Thurman, Chairman, which
falls in the Democratic ranks like bomb
shell. Col Council declines to enter the
canvass, on the ground that the party is con-
Quoting it under false pretenses, and with
leader, Col. McCook, who did not receive the
nomination. He says:
had hoped that such wise counsels would
have prevailed at our State Convention as
to have almost insured our success; in which
event | would have given all of labor intlu-
ence, and strength have to a noble cause for
which l have heretofore labored But Sin
the house of its friends" at that Convention,
were dealt the deadliest blows TO the Democ-
racy it has yet received. The vot-
ers of our party are not uniformed of the
false position the party is placed in. They
know we are going before the people this Fall
with at least two untruths glaringly conspicu-
Gus on our front. First, they know that
| McCook was not nominated Governor, and
that his principal competitor led him on the
| first ballot, when the unaccountable mistake
or fraud occurred in the announcement of the
vote which scores of delegates knew to be
| false; and they will soon learn how shocked

and sensitive to stand in his present disagree.
able position, when they discovered that he
permitted his immediate partisans to simpl,
say in regard to the fraud or mistake in tn,
nomination, that they could only "hope tina
it would net get OUT
| This, however, is a small matter compared
to the falsehoods expressed in the party
platform. When the Convention took upor
itself to declare that the democracy of this
State recognized as accomplished facts the two
latest ESQ called amendments to the Consti-
tuition, of the country, it stated an untruth
| Nothing in the politics, then or now, has more
affected the hearts and minds of democratic
voters than these, there denominated dead
issues. And when, in the second resolution.
the Convention undertook to say that 'the
democratic party pledges itself to the full,
faithful and absolute execution and enforce
ment of the Constitution, as it now is, so as
| to secure equal rights to all persons under it,
without distinction of race, color, or condi-
tion," it exceeded its authority and simply as
serted what was known to be a talsehood. If
the democratic party is moribund, then its po-
| litical priests may be allowed to dictate to it
| confessions of sins of their defining. But
| they have certainly made the party to appear
| like the dying African, who when asked by
| his preacher if he was ready to die, and
whether he had forgiven his enemies, and es.

and himself there had long been feud, an
swered ''If Use gwine to die, forgive him !;
