The rruth i'm a nutshell.

The New York Eceaaing Post (Re-
publican), after showing how South
Carolina has been feeced by an igno-
rant mob of negroes, directed by un-
scrupulous carpet-baggers, says:
Unfortunately the President, in
the South Carolina case, will act on
the side of the &c ring" whose handi-
work has been exhibited above. The
Federal Government is to be used un-
der the Ku Klux bill, not to redeem
South Carolina from it's robbers, but
to tasten upon the taxpayers the rule
of the scamps who are plundering it.
The Federal poecer aciU appear an the
Southern States, under this Ku Klu1
pbilt, as the ally Of thieves, the protec-
tor Of saciadlers, the guardian Of their
pl,wder." -

Son last Tuesday evening the quiet
village of Mecca was visited with one
of the most disgraceful scenes on re-
cord. "A party of rowdies, after i'm
! bibing freely of poor whiskey, sailed
forth, on evil thoughts intent. Mar
ishalling their forces they at once pro-
ceeded to march through the different
streets, yelling and calling up peace
able citizens at the still hour of mid
night on various pretexts, telling some
that their friends were sick or dying
and wanted them Immediately, thus
causing general confusion and dismay.
The leaders of the party have shown
themselves as belonging to q very low
order of intelligence One aspiring
youth, we understand, was ambitious,
and, like jeff. Davis, wore petticoats.
The whole scene was disgraceful in
the extreme, and the performers OF
the raid are pointed at with universal
execration." se:..
Why don't the people of Mecca ap-
ply to Congress and the President for
aid in suppressing these riotous and
disorderly proceedings? What safety
is there for life and property and the
| peace of "loil" men where the local
authorities wink atthese transactions

In the loyal towns of Connecticut t,
at the late election, negroes were per-
mitted by the loyal canvassers to vote
without being registered at all, as the
law requires, but white me in large
numbers were refused the privilege of
voting, because they had failed t o
comply with the legal forms of tn e
registry law thirty days before cleo
ton. The blue-bellied nutmegers
were never noted for modesty; but
the impression prevails that these
SUPERFICIAL canvassers are entitled to
the champion belt as being the most
impudent gang of rascals now at
large. The niggers themselves were
amazed at the audacity with which
they were used, and the GOODNESS with

Abo,ishing the Writ of Liberty.

The worst of the many bad features
of the abominable force bill now be-
fore Congress is the power with which
it invests the President to suspend, at
his discretion, the privilege of the
habedS corpus This writ has been
well called the &C Great Writ of Liber-
ty," and it has been truly remarked
that until it was invented civil liberty
existed only in name, and that the one
cannot exist without the other. Its
only object is to compel those in au-
thority who may arrest citizen to
produce the prisoner in court and state
the reason OF his detention. While
it is in force, men cannot be arrested
and incarcerated upon fimsy pretexts,
or keptin prison at the will of one
man.. The court enquiries into the case
and, if the reasons for detention are
not sufficient, discharges the prisoner !;
if they are sufficient the prisoner is
remanded back to prison. The pro-
ceeding can offer no shield to guilt,
but it does protect innocence, and Sc
cures the citizen at least the right of
being informed why he is imprisoned.
Of this sacred right he is debarred
when any one man is empowered to
suspend the writ, as the bill pending
in Congress empowers the President
to do. No party would enact such a
law if it were not their deliberate pur-
pose to connive at the unjust impris-
onment of those who stand in the way
of their partizan designs. The public
necessity seldom if eyer requires the
exercise of such an arbitrary power
as the suspension of the hobeaS corpus.
1t never fails to lead to oppression and
tyranny. The liberty of every man is
at the mercy of the one man power
which the authority to suspend calls
into being. Men who are guiltless of
public wrong, but who have incurred
the enmity or hostility of those in
power, may be seized and imprisoned
and there is no means, in the absence
of the hd6cds cosp1S, for them to OBJ
tain an inquiry into their case. There
never was an instance in history in
which the suspension OF this privilege
was not attended with the most fla
grant cruelty and injustice. 1t is made
the opportunity of bigotry, intoler-
ance and despotism. In fact to give
to any one man the authority to sus-
pend the writ of hd6eds corpus, is to
make the citizens liberty dependent
upon the will and discretion of sim
gle individual and to substitute des-
potism for freedom. This is what the
force bill now being driven through
Congress does. 1t makes the Presi.
dent of the Republic as absolute as the
Autocrat of all the Russias, and ex-
poses the people to the insolent tyrau-
ny of his miniOns.-C,TSIs.

ReuubJicanisnl.

The Radicals make loud professions
of being the special and exclusive
champions of republican form of
government" and of the rights and
liberties of the people; yet they over
turn the State constitutions adopted
by the people, disfranchise the intel
ligent, tax-paying white population,
and set up, under the dominion of the
bayonet, governments against the will
of the people, and give the control of
them to ignorant negroes and adven-
tureus carpet-boggers. And all this
is done in the name of Republicanism.
But the most palpable and glaring
proof of the hypocracy of their pre-
tensions, and of the revolutionary,
imperial and despotic tendency of
their teachings and measures, is fur
nished in the bill which has recently
been. passed by Congress, overriding
the Constitutions, setting at defiance
the reserved rights of the States, and
inaugurating detestable military
despotism in the land. By that bill
they invest the President with power,
at his own discretion, without restraint
from either State or Federal author
ity, to determine under what circum-
stances he viii invade the precincts Of
State with the army and navy, sus-
pend its laws, abolish its courts and
establish military commissions in
their stead, with absolute control
over life, liberty and property, and
with power to try, convict, and exc
cute the subjects of their hate and the
opponents of their imperial master,
without the forms of law and all this
at his own supreme will and pleasure,
without notice or request from the
Legislature or Governor of the State.
This is done in the name of liberty,
and by party vaunting its attach
ment to Republican principles and
ideasI Where on the earth's broad
surface can ruler be found clothed
with more absolute, imperial, despot-
ic power? And yet these Jacobins
hope TO lull the people into apathy by
their syren songs until they have riv-
eted the chains of despotism upon
| their limbs. 5 o-Hffa

test. That is matter in which the

intelligence of the people, for the
Radical leaders TO pretend that this
vast sum has been honestly expended.
Hundreds of millions of it have been
wantonly squandered. The expendi-

ticket to be nominated, depends in a very great
degree upon the men to be put in nomination.
and the harmony and unanimity of the nominal

that every county should be fully represented
and the will of the people should be asceTtained

tion will be one of VITAL importance to the
State and country at large, and will have an i'm
