Ths NATIONAL Contest.

At this time nothing is more essen-
tlal than cool, wise counsel. There
is no necessity fer exc ltement or eX-
cited language. 1t is no longer
contest between parties, but one be.
tween the people on the one side and
the office holders on the other. The
office holders have the government in
their hands, they have influential
newspapers in the cities whose pro-
prietors have been purchased by the
conspirators, they have large num-
Der of papers throughout the North
ern states that are willing to tell theif
readers that South Carolina, Florida
and Louisiana have all cast their Votes
for the Republican party that not-
withs,anding the troops and the
thousands of U. S. deputy marshalls,
and the murder of negroes for voting
the democratic ticket, intimidation
was praeticed by the democrats.
Though these editors know that their
statements are false, yet at the CONS
mand of Cameron and Chandler they
will not hesitate to circulate lies in
order to deceive the people. Many
good people have been deceived by
them, but the great democratic party
of this country are not satisfied to
permit this question to be decided by
the fraudulent CONT of illegal return
ING boards, nor will they be intima-
dated by the blpster of Radical
papers, or the threatening aspect Of
the Washington conspirators sur
rounded by the army Of the United
States. The questions at issue cam
not be concealed from the people of
this nation by subsidized press or
be disposed ofby a petty tyrant in
command of a few regiments Of so1
diers. The leaders Of the Demoera.
tic party have wisely determined that
the frauds of the Radicals shall be
fully exposed to the people, that the
pretended legality of their count shall
t be tested by the highest courts Of the
land, that the House of Representa-
tives shall be denied no right which
properly belongs to that body, and
that the action Of the Radicals in at
tempting to deprive the people OF
their legally elected President shall
be defeated by peaceful measures.
The people of this county are not
prepared to surrender their liberties,
or to witness the annihilation of the
| Republic. Let Us wait patiently for
future Developments. trusting in

Eieetith by the House.

The possibility Of the elecIion for
Presi,lept and Vice. President being
thrown into he House of Represent
at:ves leads to- contemplation OF the
contingencies which may arise under
this most absurd system, which, it
would al,nos. seem was invented for
the express. purpose. o.. defeating the
will of the people. 1t is amongst the
possibilities, in the event of snch an
election by the House, that an actual
minority would control it. Every
State has but one vote, which is cast
Joy the party having the majority of
the State dclegatIon--as, for instance,
if the New York delegation was
composed of twenty Democrats and
thirteen Republicans, the Democrats
would, Of course, control and cast the
vote. AS at present constituted, the
House, would, in any event, elect
Governor Tilden if the election should
be thrown into that body, and here is
the way the States would vote:
For Alabama, Arkansas,
Connecticut, California, Delaware,
Georgia, M.saois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi,
Missouri, Mew Hampshire, New
Jersey, NORTH, Carolina, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee. Texas,
Virginia, and West Virg;gia-23.
For Hayes Colorado, Iowa, Kansas,
Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan. Min
nesota, Nebraska, New, York, Rhode
Island, South Carolina, Vermont, and
Wiseonsin-l4.
All of the Italicized States in the
Tilden list Except Louisiana) gave a
majority for Hayes, and yet the vote
of their delegation would be cast for
Tlden. In the Hayes list we find
New York, which gave Tilden a
large popular majority, and yet her
vote. would be cast for Hayes, because
her delegation, IN the House stands
Republican II, and Democrats l6.
1t can readily be seen that while it
would not be SO in the case Of Hayes
and Tiiden, it is among the possibilities
for the minority in the House to
defeat the candidate Of the majority.
