timent of the country can ever cntrust il
with the control of the government. it is IRA
tional and utopian to presume that such a CON
summation will ever be effected. 1t would be
national death to realize it. Reason, policy,
self-interest and self -pfeservation combine
against it. 1t will never transpirc that the very
same political organization, substantially lead
and controlled by the same elements which
preciptated secession and war, will again be
placed in the control OF the government they
attempted to destroy. Such, at least, are our
convictions, and we believe the sentiments Ct
tie great mass of the people of this county,
Let the old Wings of the South repudiate
the Democratic party as at present controlled
and directed-accept the situation upon the
of acceptance Of the nominees of the Repub-
lican party-assst in their election and then
participate in shaping the administration s
policy towards the South. Their counsel would
be sought their Utterances weighed and res
pected, and in conjunction with the men of
the North who would be called around the
President, institute policy that would smooth
the rough edges Of reconstruction, restore con-
fidence, and unite the sections upon basis Of
harmony, peace and reciprocal interests.
1t is in no partizan spirit nor for partizan
purpose that we have been lead into this rather
more extended article than we intended when
we commenced it. The election Of Hayes and
Wheeler is as certain, according to our appre-
hension, as any event in the future can be as
sumed to be. We are governed by an earnest
| and honest effort in behalf of our section We
can only see better and a more tranquil era
for it, in the dissolution Of the Democratic
party, with its sectional associations, purposes
and passions. This can be accomplished by
the enforcement ofrthe old Wings from it, and
all others who are willing to unite upon q
broad national thought such as is cnunciated in
the letters Of acceptance Of both Mr. Hayes
and Mr.. Wheeler. The very fact that it is claim.
ed the Democratic candidate will receive the
almost united electoral vote Of the Southern
States, stamps the party rs sectional, and IL
confronting the national idea that triumphed III
the appeal to arms. It is an insurmontabe OBJ
stacle to our progress and Developments
repulsicn Of Immigration and capital, and the
| fruitful source Of stTifes and conflicts. There
can be no humiliation attached to the recogni
ton CT the national sentiment we have sug
gested. nor in the acceptance Of the association
with which we have placed it. In all the form;
and methods that could give sanctity to the
idea we have acknowledged it. Now let us re-
duce it to practice, and give tangible evidence
that the integrity and glory of the nation, the
peace and progress OF the South, individual
and collective prosperity, are paramount to the
miserable hates and passions which are nour
lshed and cherished in the Democratic party
the exercising Of which will make us happier
kindler, and more catholic and patriotic.

not Disguised with the foul abuse, and coarse
vuIgarity which constituted the sum Of what
was said I? What car the honest masses think
of a cause and its candidates, when they have
to be supported by such low appeals, without
the presentation of a single fact to sustain
them? Reckless charges were made against
the administration and every officer of it,
without adducing single fact to justify them.
False statements were made with purpose to
deceive the hearers, because there was no one
to reply to them. When party is reduced to
such low expedients. surely the honest instincts
OF the people must revolt against it,

Tweed made his escape through the conni-

still holds his place, yet Gov. I'ilden could re-
move him, and no reward has been offered for
Tweed's arrest, that we have noticed in the

Tweed out of the country. He knows too

Tell tie Whole. Story.

Judge Harris, in his remarks Monday week,
in the Courthouse, said that the present Con-
grcss had reduced the expenses OF government
$40, 900, 000-half as much as the entire cost of
administering the government in 1850. He
forgot to state, in this connection, that the
same Congress had passed the bounty bill,
which, il it becomes q law, will impose upon
the people burden of debt amounting to be-
tween $50, 900 and $3.50, 600, and there
had been introduced bills by Southern mem
bers, mostly during this session, and claims ag-
gregating 81, 4s3, 241, 361 an amount equal to
the whole debt Of tile government at the close
of the war. The proposed retrenchmcnt Of
$50, 100000 is a blind to secure Democratic
administration, under Southern control, and
the next step will be to pass these refunding
claims, and special relief bills, &C., which will
foot up. the enormous sum above named. The
Judge neglected this piece Of information. We
remind him of it, so that when he gets OH the
stump again he can tell the whole story. Not
only this, but that the retrenchment proposed,
IS i'll part, stoppage on government works,
Which will have to be completed, and while
the cheat is intended to deceive the people in
the Presidential election, it will be at the cost
of the laborers of the country, who will be
thrown out of employment during the present
prostration Of business. Further, he knows
that the estimates of the departments were
not extravagant, and this demagogueism of g
Democratic Congress will have to be made up
by deficiency bills hereafter.
Judge Harris should be candid enough to tell
the people that the suggested economy and re-
trenchment Of the present Democratic Con-
gress are nothing more nor less than partizan
