out scruple or remorse, over the
whole Union. What is being done
in New Hampshire will be done in
Ohio, and the cries of the auction
eer selling white men in the Old Ora
mite State will be echoed back from
the broad valley of the Mississippi.
1t seems to be the determination
of the Radicals to conduct this cam
paign, as far as they can, by divert
ing the minds of the people from the
true issues. The speakers and the
press cry aloud "no popery" and pa
rade the few instances of Democrat
ic d%efalcation, which they have
heard rumored, whether founded on
facts or not. Now, we ask our read
ers in all candor, whether it does not
betray a weakness of the true issues,
upon which they r afraid to trust
the result. We ask you 10 turn from
these to the Democratic speeches, ev
cry one of which is devoted to those
most important issues which we
started out to maintain. And this
neb-from necessity, for we have a
larger supply to drain from than
they. If the loss of a few dollars in
Butler and Holmes counties is spo-
ken of, we can discount it by a refer
ence to bankrupt Louisiana and
South Carolina. If bribery is ur-
ged again US, we a remind them OF
their Credit Mobiliers and Pacific
Mails, and if they fear the possibil-
ity of the violation of the State Con.
stitution in the destruction of the
Common Schools, we ask whether
the people are willing to trust it tc
the party that has overthrow the
U. S. Constitution in Louisiana ant
Arkansas, trampled it under foot an(
rendered the State government itself
in time of peace, ~subservient to thu
Military. That we do not speak O
these is not because we have forgot
ten them, but because we desire t.
conduct the campaign on present is
sues, which, it seems, you are afrait
of, and mean TO drive us into anoth
er line, but the people shall still b.
reminded of those questions Of Fl
nance you so much fear.
Judge KELLY, a Republican mem

that if times continue as they ar
Labor would take Capital by tn
throat, and the scenes of the Frencl
Revolution would be re-enacted."-
