al debt cOincident with the great
reduction of taxation, is unexceIled
as a financial achievement, and the
treaty with England, while giving us
Honorable redress for our injuries, and
thus averting the probabilities of war,
commands the admiration of the
world as one of the great milestones
of civilization. Last, but not least,
the unflinching support. given the
loyal men of the South, who are there
fighting the battles of the Union, has
gained for the great soldier a strong
hold upon the affections of the people.
He not only deserves our confidence
as man, but is entitled to our sup
port as the representative of the prin-
ciples of our party. The honesty and
economy shown by the national gov
ernment, bear striking contrast to
the corrupt administration, of the
finances of New York, but the zeal
and harmony which you exhibit in
endeavoring to rescue your city from
the clutches of the unprincipled dema-
gogues who now control it, give fiat
teling prospects of success. In your
able efforts I can assure you of the
warm sympathy of the President.
President Grant has no private
revenge to satisfy, no personal enc
mics to punish, but regards every
true Republican as his friend. In all
his appointments, even if some of you
may think he has been mistaken, he
has sought to promote the welfare of
the Republican party, subordinate of
course to the higher object, the good
of the public service. No action of his

The speech, says the Standard, was
received with round after round of
applause, and the young statesman
received the congratulations and
hands shaking of the entire audience.

Walsh and WarmOth.

The following article is copied from
the Abbeville Flag, a journal bitterly
to Governor Warnoth:
1t is pretty well known that we like
Governor Warmoth's usrrpations just
enough to favor his Impeachment.
we also admire Mr.. Walsll's cilal-
lenge just enough to condemn it.
Thus throwing down the glove under
the circumstances, is no evidence that
Walsh will fight. IFS refusal is no
indication that Warmoth is a coward.
We think it requires more moral
nerve, to refuse a challenge than to
accept one. The Republican who will
indorse the absurdity of duelling, by
fighting under any pretext, is utterly
unacGuainted with one of the most
clearly enunciated principles of his
party. If a man so insults you as to
deserve death, break his head or else
shoot him on sight, but never descend
to his level by fighting duel. War
moth was nearly played out, but this
ridiculous challenge will do more to
win him friends and revive his droop-
ing hopes, than the discovery of q
gold mine. If Mr.. Walsh pretends to
be a leader of the Dunn party, we
openly and sqIlarely repudiate him
and his kind. He fevives the Lost
Art of the Lost Cause, in party that
abhors it. Such men are an advan-
tage to WaImoth at the North, and a
drawback and dead weight to the
party at home.

California.

The following article relating to the
recent election in California is copied
from the Sacramento Reporter, a Dem
ocratic Journal:
The victory is sweeping one. 1t
is worthy of notice that the victors
did not need the negro vote at all--in
fact if that vote does not exceed two
thousand, and had been east solidiy
against the party which called it into
existence, still the. Democracy would
have been defeated. The Radical ma
iority in the State viii probably reach
five thousand. 1t is not yet possible
to state how the Legislature will stand
politically, but it is, we think, per-
fectly safe to say that though the Sem
ate will have d very small Democratic
majority, the Radicals viii largely
outnuniber the Democrats in the AS
sembly. There will, therefore, be q
respectable Radical majority on joint
ballot and Cornelius Cole, George
G.. Gmham or SOME other leader OF
the dominant party, will be elected
United States Senator for the term
commencing March, 1873,
It is no child's play, this fighting Rad
icalism in California, The Demoe-
racy triuinphed four years ago by the
aid of thousands of Radical votes
a Agmajority of the people OF the State
are Radicals, and the election on the
9Th instant, leads lis to believe that
they indorse the whole policy Of that
party, aud desire to see it continue
its iniquitons career. 1t is rather
hard to believe that, the, voice OF
the people is the voice of God, so far
ais concerns California politics. Until
immigration from other States anu
foreign countries shall bring large
accessions to the ranks Of the Democz
racy, the latter win only achieve III
this Stae an occasional triumph oyer
a divided enemy. There is tllls COM
ISOLATION. 5 The Radicals in this State
are not able to dwell in unity very
long at q time. And they are pain
fully conscious of the fact the Democ-
raey are strong and watchful. They
now and then fall out and 60 to quar-
relling over their plunder. Upon such
occasions, in the future, as in the
past, the Democratic party viii not
fail to take advantage of the situation.

REMEnY EoR CANCER :

REMEDY FOR CANCER. - Colonel
Ussery, of DeSoto, Louisiana, says
he fully tested a remedy for this trou-
blesoine disease, recommended to him
by q Spanish woman, h native of the
country. The remedy is this Take
an egg and break it pour out the
white, retaining the ydlk in the shell,
put in salt, and mix whit the yolk as
long as it win receive it stir them
together until the salye is formed; put
a portion of this on a sticking plaster,
and apply to the cancer about twice a
day. He tried the remedy twice in
his own family, with entire, success.
It has also been tried on two cases in
RhGde Island with perfect success.
Sukh d remedy is within the reach of
evl lry one, and should be known to
thk whole world. es fls,.-

If the Democrats declare that the
country is. being ruined by a Repubh-
can administration under the new
amendments to the Constitution, are
they not becoming parties to that
ruin by accepting the amendments
This query is addressed to the New
peparturists. And if, on the other
hand, the country is prosperous ilndel
the amendments, and to repeal them
would be to excite discord aenew, are
not the Democrats criminal in seeking
the overthrow of these amendments
