From the N. Y. herald, ta-day
Is IT SOUTH CAROLINA OR MEXICO?
Arbitrary illegal arrests by federal sol
diers, under the orders of federal deputy
marshals, have begun in South Carolina.
Governor Chamberlain, candidate for re-
election, opposed not only by the Demo-
Gratis but by considerable and increasing
faction in his own party, fears that he
will be beaten. Accordingly he appeals
to the federal administration for the loan
of soldiers to help him to intimidate the
recalcitrant voters. Having arranged
board of State canvassers of election and
returning board, majority of whose
members are candidates on the same
ticket with him, and are thus by mon
strous perversion of justice entitled to de-
eide the vote in their own favor; having
further managed that of the ninety-six
commissioners of election in the counties,
seventy should be his declared partisans
and forty office holders who hold their
places by his appointment having thus
prearranged the count in his own favor,
Mr.. Chamberlain now summons federal
troops and federal marshals to arrest citi-
zens known to be opposed to him in poll =
tics. And all this in the United States
and under the auspices of party which
once called itself the pre-eminent friends
of liberty, and some of whose leading
members held the Fugitive Slave law to
be unconstitutional because it intenered
with the rights of the States.
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, in re-
Gently published letter, warned the peo-
pie against the revolutionary tendencies
OF the republican leaders. Was he far
wrong? A multitude ofrespectable citizen
among them all the republican members
of the Supreme Bench of the State, assert
publicly that there is no trouble, no
political violence or lawlessness in South
Carolina. The citizens who have been
arrested have submitted quietly. The
Governor himself had made no pretence
even of an effort to subdue lawlessness
he had done nothing but issue violation
and incendiary proclamation and sent for
federal troops, like his prototype, Perriu,
in Alabama, who shot hole through his
own hat and then called for the soldiers.
Does the republican party of the North
consent to such revolutionary acts as this?
Is this a sample of what it proposes to do
if it is continued in power another four
years? If SO, then the safest, the only safe
course for Northern voters, is to turn it
out. There can be no doubt on that
subject. Thisis not Mexico but these
acts of Governor Chamberlain, this misuse
Of federal power, wouldif, continued four
years longer, set us long way toward
Mexico. If it is granted that the political
lparty which happens to possess the federal
government may march its soldiers into
the States for political purposes, then we
have paved the way broadly for general
: civil disorder. If these proceedings in
0 South Carolina are not promptly disowned
|, by the republican candidate every North
ern citizens who has stake in the country
ought to vote against him.

MIR. Beimont's Speech.

''Mr. Belmont's speech on taking the
chair as presiding officer of the democrat
tic meeting last evening at the Cooper
Institute was a clear and succinct EXPOSE
ton of the most weighty reasons for
change of administration. 1t is particu-
larly noticeable for its strong eulogy of
Charles Francis Adams and its cogent
arguments for the early resumption OF
specie payments
Yesterday the Republican said Mr.
Belmont regarded the Democratic party a:
the party of reputation. The lie nailed
