Sick! Sick of what? If l could be
rendered sick by anything, it would be
by the nausea, by the malarious lntiu-

hearts of the freemen Of this country TO

An Apparent Reverse, with IA les
son.

If the calling of a convention to change
the Constitution in North Carolina, and
election of delegates thereto, are to be re-
garded in the light of bipartisan contest,
the Democrats have sustained a slight
reverse 1t is doubtful whether a ma
jority of the people have voted to call
the convention at all or not In the
election of delegates the Democrats do
not claim more than one or two majority,
which is the next thing to a defeat in a
State which at the last election went
Democratic and Conservative by an over
whelming majority In the last Legis-
ture the Democrats and Conservatives
had full control. Unfortunately the
counsels of rash men, who were not will
ling to ''make haste slowly" prevailed,
and they decided to call convention for
the purpose of making changes in the
organic law of the State. The Conserva-
tive element did not fall in with the
movement. One of the causes was a

looked like disturbing the existing or
der Of things. 1t was thought the
present Constitution would do, for a time
at least, if administered by good men.
But special cause of discomfort among
a large class of Democrats was the prop.
osition to destroy the present local, or
township government, which is said to
have proved acceptable Many anti
radicals therefore refused to join in the
convention movement, or to support can
didates who would favor this appehended
change; and consequently their votes
have been put down to the credit of rad
icalism, when such was not their inten-
ton.
The sum of it all is, that the Demo-
cratic party of the State has been placed
in a false position and at great disad-
by rash and unreasoning lead
ers, and the party, not only in that State,
but in the country at large, will be made
to bear, at most inopportune moment,
the appearance, though not the reality, |
IF reverse.
The lesson is too plain 10 require COM

Hard Run for Capital.

The Radicals in the Northern States
are hard run for campaign material when
they resort to such absurd stuff as the
following, which is reported as the g:st
of a speech delivered in Ohio by Senator
Morton, of Indiana:
Gov. Morton then took up the condi-
ton of the South, and showed how the
Democratic party is in fact and in logic
committed to the pensioning of rebel sol
diers, the payment for the rebel war
claims, and payment for the slaves Be
sides this, they are logically committed
against the rights of the colored race and
the entire list of constitutional amend
ments. These are really the living
issues with the Democratic party in the
South, in comparison with which they
look upon all others with contempt. These
will be vital questions next year and they
will triumph if the people do not set
their feet upon the political organization.
Every one of these averments is the
opposite of the truth In fact, they are
too preposterous to admit of serious re-
ply.
The Democratic party is not in favor
of pensioning the Confederate soldiers.
1t is not in favor Of the payment of rebel
war claims (nor g loyal" claims either,
SO far the they include Southern "loy-
alists ')-and as for the constitutional
amendments-read the Mississippi Plat
form. and see what it saws.
Gov Morton and his pack are on q
cold trail.

8 rhe Scum of Humanity -

Is any party fit to be entrusted with
the affairs of any people even Hottentots,
who conduct themselves in the style Of
the Republican leaders and their clansmen
in Mississippi? Witness the spectacle at
the Radical meeting in Rankin county
the other day. The Eastern Argus, the
official county organ of the party, admits
that the affair would have been " a dis
grace to any civilized community" and
lays the blame at the door of the late
Representative of this District in Con-
gress. 1t says:
What we say of this matter is done in
sober earnest and with the hope that the
party in Rankin county may profit there
by, aud we say now plainly and unequivo-
cally, that, unless Republicans of this
county can rally and put back, at least
from assumed leadership, the Lowest scum
Of humanity, then they need not look for
assistance from this paper.
But the misfortune is that when Radi-
calism is in the ascendant, it follows as
day the night, " the lowest scum will be
uppermost

RADICALISM IN HOLMES COUNTY.
a COIOred Member of an Dom OcrRt-
Ic.COnservntIVe Club NHObbed.

PIcKINs, Miss, Aug. ODD, 1875.
EDS. CLARION Last evening / left
this place and went to Richland, small
town about five miles distant, to attend q
called meeting of the Democratic Club Of
that place There was a large. enthusi
astic crowd in attendance, and in the
audience were about forty colored men.
Six of them have joined the club at that
place. Speeches were made by several
members of the club and among them
CoLoRED MEMBER,
by the name of Henry Webster. He
spoke of his having followed the teach
ings of carpet-baggers for eight or ten
years, and having found his error hence
fourth he would support by his vote our
home men, whom he knew to be honest,
for Office. This old man is,
VERY QUIET AND HONEST CITIZEN,
never speaking his political sentiments,
only when called on, which was the case
last night, and did not then use single
personal remark to offend any one
After the meeting adjourned he started
for his home, one and half miles from
town. While passing through Il thick
wood some one concealed behind IA tree
STRUCK HIM DOWN.
He being unarmed, got up and ran for his
life The icnd who did the dastardly act
then drew pistol and fired tloo shots at
him, both, fortunately, without effect. He
with great difficulty reached town, Sc
cured the services Of Drs. Toombs and
Tackett, who dressed his wounds, which
were very painful, though not necessarily
fatal. He was unable to give any clue
lowing to the darkness Of the night and
not being aware Of any personal enemy
of the parties who committed the coward
ly deed. 1t is believed some Of the
REPUBLICAN, PARTY
did it to intimidate other colored men
from joining the club. / left there this
morning and the citizens were trying to
ferret out the crime and bring the guilty
to justice.
This part of Holmes county Is wide
awake and will give rousing Democratic
vote in November.

An Example of Radical IliSruIc.

A Vicksburg correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, Republican
thus presents an example of Radical mis-
rule and corruption in the case of War
rem county. The picture, as drawn by a
member of the dominant party, is fright
full. Here it is:
The county can not stand bad officers
for another term. She is now nearly
bankrupt with her paper down to forty
and fifty cents on the dollar Every of
fee has been disgraeefully run for long
time, except the Circuit Clerks office,
during the last twelve months. The reg
ular negro Treasurer went crazy, and
and Gov. Ames appointed a man three
months ago who has already appropriated
money of the office to his own use, failed
to take up some outstanding bonds and
to pay interest on others, for which mo-
ney had been collected and paid ever to
him. In this case the bond is perfectly
solvent, but nothing will ever be done
about it. The defaulting appointee is
prominent candidate, and his nomination
not at all improbable. The negroes can
well be excused for bad selections when
their own pet Governor makes such terri.
bic blunders.

Elsewhere we publish an account of
dastardly attempt at assassination Of
colored member of a Democratic Con-
sentative club in Holmes county. Our
correspondent who writes Us, is entirely
reliable, and what he writes can be relied
upon. This is but the beginning of that
kind of business. 1t will be at the peril
of life that any colored man joins the
Conservative clubs, unless they are pro-
tected. Our correspondent says the par
ties cannot be found out who did the act,
and so it will be in nearly every case,
but they can be protected nevertheless.
The President of the nearest Republican
club should be informed that his club
will be held responsible for outrages COM
mitted upon the persons Of colored men
for exercising the right Of independent
action.

Another Bursi-Sp.

The Radical nominating convention
for the fourth district failed to agree 1t
disbanded upon difference over contest

of foul play, Niles delegations from the
following counties withdrew: Lauder
dale, Kemper. Neshoba, Newton, Leake,
Alfalfa, and Holmes
These Withdrawals left the Warner
faction in complete possession of the
field, and they proceeded to nominate
their chief, who will in turn be slashed

IT Is said that there are hundreds, nay
thousands, of men who have stood aloof
from the elections and refused to take
part in the political contests in this State
for the past five or six years, while Radi-
calism has been ruling and running with
a high hand, because the battle has not
been pitched according to their preference.
If so, they have committed great wrong
against themselves and the State. Let
them now make amends, by doing their
whole duty at the coming election.
