Political Radicalism and hate have

Raleigh, NJ G., on the 10th instant:
81 WAsHINGToN, July II, 1922 ,
7 MYDEAR RaNsoM:*1 most sincerely
regret that it is impossible for me to
accept your Invitation to visit North
Carolina and speak to the people. The
I'LL health Of a member scf my family
puts it out of my power to do SO. Tht
approaching election in yotir State is oI
national importance. If the Democrat
ic and Liberal parties succeed in that
election;;Iit may safely be predicted that
Horace Greeley will be the next Presi
| dent Of the United States. Then We
| may hope to see an end OF the violence
and disregard Of the Constitution that
has marked the Government since the
present Administration came into pow
| er. In truth, the great question now
before the people is, Shall we have con,
stitutional government or government
Of mere force and corruption? The
leaders of the dominant party seem to
have no faith in anything but force and
corruption IF they ever had confidence
| In man, they seem to have wholly lost
| it. If they ever believed in the persua.
sive and beneficent influences Of reason
and peace, they seem to have cast theil
belief away, Hence their harsh meas.
ures Of legislation and their never,
ceasing efforts to misrepresent the con
tiition of the South, and to keep alive
the bitterness eneendered by the war
But confidently believe that the time
has at length come wher the American
people have resolved to have peace in
fact, and not merely in name. They
have been too long deluded with cries
Of "Let US have peace" when peace
was not intended They now mean to
have the reality and not the shadow
They mean to have constitutional gov
ernment, and not despotism. They
mean TO teach their rulers that the in
terests Of the people are Of higher mo
ment than the selfish interest of a party
and they mean that reform shall not be
a mere idle word, but shall be an exist
ing fact Upon no other theory can the
union that has taken place of the ele,
ments of opposition to the Administra.
ton be accounted for 1t is not union
OF politicians or q coalition of schem
ers. On the contrary it is the result OF
a movement of the people themselves,
that has overwhelmed mere politicians
and schemers. 1t means this, and no.
thing less than this, that the people are
resolved to have a change Of Admins
tratien, and will not let impracticable
men or irnpraeticable theories stand in
the way of success. 1t does not mean
abandonment of principle, bat it does
mean that common sense shall prevail
once more. i
Regretting that | cannot be with you

Answer 10 B. F. wade.

Where is the man, since Washing
toh,. who has rendered greater or better
service to the Republic than General
Grant ? Name him, if he is to be found;
and ! will help make him President"
DEAR SIR-Horace Greeley is that
man. One Of the benefactors of man
kind, who has been for the last forty
years an indignant denouncer of vice
and oppression, by laboring to cultivate
the soil of the mind and heart of all
classes Into honesty, that they may act
in concert in the care of truth and vir.
tue, and retain their rights, without
war, or stealing thepublic property, or
slandering their opponents If there is
any such thing as common sense, he,
will be elected President unanimously,
and General Grant will retire from the
canvass, and you viii vote for him. But
/ am satisfied that there is fund OF
good sense in this country which can.
not be deceived by sophistry, falsehood
or impudence, that will elect him by an
Overwhelming majority over all other
candidates, / trust you will be as good
as your word; and come out from the
new slavery and Useless Gift party that
is run BY the .noyice, = weak deserter
from the. Democracy, who win expire by
wound inflicted with his own hand, in
signing away millions of acres of the
public lands to railroad corporations to
keep up his gift enterprise, Such a
party the people will blot from the reg
lister of office and from the list of pub
F lie beneficiaries, by the exercise Of the
first privilege a freeman, the ballot.
Would to Heajen, for the honor of our
country, that It's land grants co6li be
totally obliteiated from the mind of
man, that after ages may be uniformed
Of the deep depravity Of the human
character, ana what is more, under a
government, the equity of whose laws
is its greatest glory, the people have
nothing to fear from force, but, soine-
thing to apprehend from treachery-
treachery from the sentinels they have
placed upon the watch towers of free
dom. Justice was not decreed by the
Eternalto pardon crime on account of
character, but to punish it, and, by re:

Letter from Senator stockton.

WAsHINGToS, July 10, 1877.
To the Editor of the Elizabeth (N. - Journal:
On my arrival this evening in Wash
ington l find your journal of Saturday,
in which / am incorrectly represented
as having urged the delegates from
New Jersey 10. vote for Horace Greeley.
This is an entire mistake. In common
with all other observers, it was plainto
see, soon after Greeleys nomination at
Cincinnati, that he would be the Demo
cratic nominee After the action Of the
Democracy of Indiana the result was
certain. But having been elected to the
Senate of the United States as Demo.
crat, my convictions were clear from
the first that it was my duty to support
q Democrat for the nomination. Ti1e
Convention at Trenton elected delegates
without any expression of opinion Oh
the subject. Under these circumstan-
ces / continued to the end as / began,
urging the delegation to vote according
to their individual convictions of duty.
I uoted al,oays for Democrat.
You will observe that the vote of
New Jersey was equally divided between
Mr. Bayard and Mr.. Greeley, which
IsepreSented very correctly the supposed
views Of the Convention which appoin-
Ted the delegates, and probably the
views of the Democracy of the State
Now, sir, since the high court of the
party has spoken, there can be no diff
terence of opinion among Democrats.
Party usage, as we'll as the higher con-
lsiderations of patriotism, will unite the
/ Democrats of New Jersey as one man
On their nominee; and doubt not that
New Jersey will cast her vote in the
electoral college for Horace Greeley
Until his nomination by the Conven-
ton it was my plain duty to oppose. him
and vote for Democrat-Tpow it is my.
duty to the imperilled liberty of NV
country; to the Constitution which am
bound to protect against its violators;
to invidual liberty, which has been de-
stroyed by forced constructions Of the
amendments to the Constitution; to the
great fundamental doctrine of local
SELF government, violated in all the
States; to the freedom of elections to

Grant by securing the election of Hor.
ace Greeley. trust and believe that
those Democrats, like myself, who have
abstained from any movement outside
of the party organization,will now unite
as one man in the sacred duty and show
that the old Democratic party can still,
as heretofore, make sacrifice ofsall
prejudice and passion, and can join with
all patriotic citizens in determined ef-
fort to preserve at least such liberty as
has been left to us by the usurpations Of
the Republican Congressional caucus
and the military power. ! am, very tru:
