action, acknowledged the wrong he had done him. Such is the nature of these despotic Territorial governments. They place the nOblest, wisest and best of off, cials under the power of the narrow, mean, or most sordid passions that may afflict humanity. It is this government, wish you to dissolve and erect in it's stead the home of freemen; adding great lY to the power of the Republic by pro- ducing uniformity. .
 The sublime power of our Republic was never so manifest as at the close of the Rebellion, when the armies disbanded, forgiving their enemies and directing their energies in all the arts of peace, prOduc- ing, instead of depression, pestilence and death the most hOrrid results of despOtic wars; the glorious era Of progress and development only shaded in the southern half of the Republic by the inroad of carpet-baggers who have been a thousand times more pestilential in their influence than the track of our armies, and were not imposed upon them by our people but by placemen sustained by pTecedent-that handmaid of tyranny and incubus that society still will bear.
 The thermometer of theirright to true free dom can be measured by the ardor of their hatred of carpet-baggerS. Should we not say to the negroes of Tennessee: That was the most elegant lady in Nashville that would drive you from the street cars with her umbrella; you should go home, wash your feet, and bathe yourself and children daily, and use your power for protection your vote with discretion, and educate your children, and in few years, this lady seeing that you are worthy, will be seen crossing the street to beg that you let your beautiful children come to her Sunday school, and may leave her fortune for the education of your race; while if the gov ernment forces you into the street cars, this lady will be so nauseated by the dor rNro If of x-O11r. 00n that the condition of slavery has caused to be negligent of their persons, that she may say your children must be born with odoriferous feet. It is to the interest of all that you ride in the street cars, and this will place you there as soon as. your respect for the honest convictions of your neighborS should allow you to enter. The govern ment in your vote has secured you the power of self-protectiOn, all that the government can do to your advantage, and it rests with you to show yourself worthy Of it's exercise. This is home selfgOvernment that always respects the honest convictions of it's neighbors and arrives at results by the WiSeSt com binatiOns. It may commit grave errors or crimes, yet when committed and they become grave enough to arouse the moral sentiment that pervades all society, to in telligent action, il will as we see in the case of Salem witchcraft executions, re- form that society. The hanging of witches, in Massachusetts, by arOuSing intelligent thought, reformed both priests ana people, and gave to New England and this govern ment the highest type of religious liberty; while had d higher power been able to step forward and punish the leaders of this manslaughter, the highest degree of big Otry would have been fastened upon our nation and perhaps the Republic would have been an inpossibi!ity. It is this in- herent and moral reforming power that free government protects.
 To the citizens of Arizona, whose years of experience in this Territory from want of protection by the government, find themselves but the smaller fraction of the mum Der that joined with us in it's develop ment, it is not necessary, in order to stir them to action, 10 point to the well worn garments of their friends and neighbors, that pierced with the deadly missile and red with their blood, were taken to bedeck their savage murdererS, nor to their strip ped and mangled bodies that they have borne to the lonely grave with feelings too deep to be expressed in tears, nor to their gaping bones as they have found them on our highways where their mangled bodies were left the prey Of the bowling coyote, but to their love of noble manhood in the vigOr and usefulness Of life that was thus untimely taken off. If principle is at stake, can these men be bought at the ensuing election? Tn spirits of the murdered and uncoffined bodies of their friends and neighbors from hundreds of hills and valleys in Arizona, would answer, No: and the hills re-echo the answer, No. lit CHAS.
