Another says, "The movement is in the

result in the destruction of the marriage
tie. ~ Now | think it will be apparent
to any one who gives the subject mo-
ment's thought that it is not woman
that is oftenest faithless to the marriage
tie, or seeks It's dissolution; and | think
the States, where the bond of matrimony
is most relaxed will be among the last
to grant to woman the right to vote.
1t is urged by some that the possession
of the ballot will cause women to neglect
their families for the arena oe politics,
but are there no men who so neglect
their home duties, and if there are any
is that an argument that ali men should
be debarred from voting? Or is it
proven that woman is more given to neg.
Letting home duties than man? Who
is it that with unwearied care, unmind-
full of the calls of pleasure, devotes the
best years of life to the nursing ard
training of her little ones /? Who watches
by the couch of pain until the bloom is
stolen from her cheek and the sparkle
from her eye? Is it not woman, and
do you suppose the possession Of the bal.
lot will change her nature?
Now it seems TO me that much good
will result from Woman Suffrage. First,
that her presence at the polls will exert
a restraining influence and that it will
lead to more intelligent voting. Hus.
bands and wives, brothers and sisters,
will read and talk over political measures
together. Now if women read, is gen.
orally a novel or story paper and if you
ask them about some important political
measure, they say, 80, never read
politics, it does not concern me, leave
that to the men. While the husband

aud political interests, and, which, il
persisted in by that party steadily, will
plunge US again into war with the Gov
crnmeni Of the United States.
IN the third resolution ttcv disclaim
all symathy with the race issue. Say
they: " We have not made rice
issue in the past, neither do we make or
tender such an issue. What we demand
for one man we demand for all, without
distinction of race or color" The
fourth resolution fasteDs the race issue
and its results where they belong in the
following declaration " The race issue
now rendered by the Democracy of Ala
bama is but the outcropping, and is the
natural sequence of the ambitious spirit
which led a peaceful people into war
with their Government in 1861 which
during that war, rode rough shod over
the people of the South, and after the
war perpetrated its carnival of blood by
course Of crime in the Kuklux Klans,
which, in the extent of its organization,
the numbers involved in it, the null.
tiplicity and Nervousness of its crimes,
and the manner of their commission,
finds no parallel on the rolls of human
infamy. 1t is now as it was then, each
in its different mode Of resistance 10 Tho

Again they will repeat the same acts,
with vengeance sharpcned and enven
omed by continued and repeated per.
sistence in wrong"
The fifth resolution defines the DO.
sltion of the Republican party in refer.
ence to the question of mixed schools.
They say We neither desire or seek
the invasion OF the rights of the white
people by the colored. We only ask
equal advantages in matters Of public
ana commoa rights This we consider

equality enforced by law. We recog-
Dize the fact that every home Is sacred
from intrusion, and that in a free
country every one can dictate for him.
self the line of social exclusion"
The sixth resolution declares that
" governments are instituted for the
protection of life, liberty, and property"
and calls upon the State and Federal
governments for 4 vigorous execution of
the laws, and upon the Governor of the
State Z" to take all the legal means at
his command for the purpose of dis
covering and bringing TO trial all per.
sons offending against the laws MUIR
der by lying in ambush, whether by one
or many, must be put an end to, and
the peace and security Of the humblest
home must be respected and protected"
Such is the spirit of the Republican
party in Alabama. While their Dem.
ocratic opponents are laboring to an
tagonize the races on the civil.rights
question, the Republicans are using
their influence to spread oil upon the
troubled waters and thus preserve the
peace.

climate better adapted to the delicate
condition of his health, had recently re.

Alabama, where ne purchased small
plantatation and commenced business.
On the evening of the Sth of August he
addressed a Republican meeting. At
the close of the meeting at D o'clock in
the afternoon he started to return to his
plantation, about twelve miles off On
reaching a thick wood quarter of "a
mile from his own house he was fired
upon by the Kuklux. A wall and a
shout were heard by parties at dis.

Mr.. Billings and his horse were found
lying dead upon the road, he with nine.

outlaws near Greenvile, for no offense,

fruits of the revival Of the kuklux un.

the other hand, the Republicans, white
and colored, are using every fair means
in their power to prevent rioting and
preserve the peace.
The Republican party held their
State Convention at Montgomery on the
21st of August, few weeks subsequent
to the Democratic State Convention at
the same place. They plead only for
political equality; law, and order. The
resolutions are confined mainly to this
absorbing problem, justice to the col

State Convention assembled, again de.

unalterable devotion to the great prin.

into existence, viz: The civil and pol

But that they may not be misunder

is made in the second resolution that

And they add: " In point Of fact we
