Suggest mas Deen done to lrrltate the people
of the Middle and Southern States Gross
and exaggerated charges of disorder and vic.
lence owe their origin to the mschievous
minds of potential managers in the Senate
aud House of Representatives, to which the
Executive has, we regret to say, lent his aid,
and thus helped to inaame the popular feel
ing. In all this course of hostile legislation
and harsh resentment, no word Of Cancellation,
OF KIND encouragement or fraternal feeling
has ever been spoken by The President or
Congress to the people Of the Southern
States. They have been addressed only in
the language of prescription. We earnestly
entreat our fellow citizens in al parts of tho
Union, to spare no efforts to maintain peace
and order; to carefully protect the rights of
every citizen; to preserve kindly relations
amorg all mcn, and to discountcnance and dis.
courage any violation of the rights of any
portion of the people secured under the Con-
stltution, or any of its amendments; and in
conclusion, we earnestly beg of you not to
give aid to the present attempts of Radical
partlsuns to stir up strife in the land to re-
new the issues Of war, or to obstruct the re-
turn OF peace and prosperity to the Southern
States. because it is thus that they seek to d.
vert the attention of the country from tho
corruption and extravaganza in their adm;nis-
tration of public affairs and the dangerous
and profligatc attempt they are r,ahing towards
the creation of centralized military govern.

In the five years Of peace following tho
war the Radical administrations have expen-
dcd Sl,2OO 100000 for ordinary purposes
alone, being within $500, 900 900 of the ag.
Sregatc amount spent for the same purposes
III war and in peace during the seventy. one
years preceding June 80, 1861, not including
in either case the sum paid upon principal or
interest of tho public pebt. It is trifing with
the intelligence of the people for The Radical
leaders to pretend that this vast sum has been
honestly expended. Hundreds and millions
of it have been wantonly squandered. The
expenditures of the Government for the fs
cal ycar ending June 80, 1861, were only
S62,O00,O00 while for precisely tho same
prrposes-civil l;st, army, navy, pension and
Indians -S16i, LOCO, 900 were expended du-
ring the fiscal year ending June 80, 1870.
No indignation can be too stern and no scorn
too severe for the assertions by unscrupulous
Radical leaders that the g'cat Democratic and
conservative party Of thu, Union has or can
have sympathy with disorders or violence in
any part OF the country, or in the depriva.
ton OF any of his rights under the Consitu-
ton 1t is to protect and perpetuate the
rights which every free man cherishcs to
revive in all hearts the feeling of frt ndship,
affection and harmony which are the best guar.
antees OF law and order, and to throw around
the humblest citizen, wherever he may be,
the protecting rgis of these safe guards of
personal liberty which the fundamental laws
of the land assure that we invoke the aid of
all good men in the work Of peace and recon
ciliaton. We invite the generous CO opera
ton, irrespective of all former differences of
opinion, so that the harsh voiso of diseorG
may be relieved, that new and dangerous
sectional agitation may be checked that the
burdens of taxation, direct or Indirect, may
be reduced to tho lowest point consistent with
good faith to every just national observation,
and with strictly economical administration
OF the Government anG that the States may
be restored in their integrity and true rcla.
tions to our Fedcaal Union.
TIE DESCENT OF MAN-Thc favorcrs Of
the development theory have given us many
points of similarity between men and monkeys,
but our already dubious ancestry is now fur
thcr complicated by Mr.. Charles Darwin, who
points out the identity of the "snarling" mus.
clcs in man, with those which display the
teeth ofa dog preparing for attack. Man no
longer uses his teeth as weapons, but when
he ''snarls," he threatens to employ them 80.
This fact must have been observed by the
Greeks, when they dubbed sarcastic bitter
tempered man cynic, which word means
doggisb or dog|ikc.
M;D" A gentleman resident in this county ID
distinguished for tho most remarkable length
of beard that ever grew from human ohin.
We allude to MIR. AlcCarey, who resides at
Walnut Grove. His beard extends to or be.
low his knees, and yet he is six feet in height.
No human being in the history of mankind
perhaps can boast cf such facial decoration.

the chewing of tobacco.
