RISE AND FALL or RADTcALLsA


To the Editor of the MorIistown Gazette:
For a number OF years before The
late war in the United States, poll
tics were divided into two great ma
tional parties, one called Wing, the
other Democrat. Finally a third
party called the Black Republican
commenced rising slowly but steadi-
lY until by the year 1860 it. number
ed about one-third of the Northern
population. This party was not ma
tional but sectional, being confined
entirely to the Northern States and
territories and its avowed objeci
the destruction OF domestic slavery
in the South. Right here we will
lay down self-eVident truth.
That sectional party in a Re-
publican government whose princi-
Piles are antagonists TO some other
section OF the same, will eventually
eDgender envy and malice between
said party and the section of coun-
try whose interests arc affected and
in the end should it ever get. the
numerical strength will carry out its
own political doguaas even at the
point Of the sword II necessary. The
United States government for some
time previous TO our late war was
drifting in the channel OF the above
self-eyident truth, and but Tor The
interrogation Of an Advise Being

God is never the Author Of sin: but
for the purpose OF combating error
by error that great good may follow.
He often suffers the evil that is penl
up in the human heart to unite with
kindred spirits of p similar charae

united in the same way, will bring
on great revolutions, war, carnage
and bIood-shed.

OBITUARY.


On the first day of December,
1876, LIZZIE d. COOLEY. wife of
Fleming Cooley, and daughter of our
esteemed friend Capt. A. RI. Tarr,
breathed her last, at the residence of
her husband, ia Knoxville, after a
lingering and painful illness. Her
remains were followed to their last
resting place in Grey cemetery on
the second.
LIZZIE loved to make sunshine and
happiness for those around her; she
was a favorite among her associates
in childhood and youth. As daugh.
ter, sister. wife, mother, she was
ever kind. afectionate, and solicit
Gus for the welfare and happiness OF
her dear ones.
In early womanhood life seemed
to spread out before her. full of use
fulness and happiness. But ere she
had long filed the sphere Of affec-
ton as wife and mother TO which she
was called. that fell destroyer. con-
sumption, seized upon her and soon
made it evident to herself and loved
ones that she had been marked as its
victim.
For months she knew the end was
near. And during all those weary
suffering months, no words Of i'm
patient complaint escaped her lips.
No doubling Of the constant faith

her hopes were firmly l.stayed. At
last the eo.enn hour came. The
Angel uttered the final summons,
and found her waiting rejoicing in

faith.
She is gone from earth. She has
gone 10 heaven.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Southern Affairs Entirely Ig-
nOred.
A COmpIacent Review of His Adj
ministratiOn.
He Admits Errors of Fact but
not of Intent,
And is Willing to Abide the Yer.
diet of History.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. g.
Some surprise is expressed that the
President makes no allusion to the
present political situation or to af-
fairs in the South. The only matter
referring in any way to the subject
is the narration of the mail rider and
the allusion TO the colored people in
connection with San Domingo.
REVIEWING THE PAST.
The President commences with
recapitulation of events and his Of
fetal acts during the past eight
years. He says mistakes have been
made as all can see and | admit, but
it seems to me oftener in the sefec-
ton made of assistants appointed to
aid me in carrying out the various
duties of administering the Govern
ment, in nearly every case selected
without personal acquaintance with
the appointee, but upon recommends
ton Of the Representatives chosen
directly by the people.
MISTAKES UNAVOIDABLE
1t is impossible where so many
trusts are to be allotted that the
right parties should be chosen in ev-
cry instance. History shows that
no administration from the time of
Washington to the present has been
free from these mistakes. But /
leave comparisons to history, claim
ing only that / have acted in every
instance from conscientious desire
to do what was right and constitu-
tional within the law and for the
best interests of the whole people.
Failures have been errors of judg-
ment not of intent.
ECONOMY IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
The message says taxes have been
reduced within the last seven years
nearly three hundred millions and
the national debt has been reduced
in the same time over four hundred
and thirty-fve millions; by substi
tuting bonds tie annual interest on
the debt has been reduced thirty
millions per annum. The balance
of trade has changed from a hun
dred and thirty millions against US
to twenty millions in our favor. lie
believes the balance Of trade will
continue in our favor and the pledge
of Congress to resume specie pay
ment in 1879 will be easily redeem
ed, even in the absence of further
much desired legislation.
THE INDIAN AND FOREIGN POLICY.
The policy adopted towards the
Indians has been humane and has
ended hostilities in the
whole land except in the Black Hills /
and approaches thereto, and our re-
lations with foreign nations continue |
The Centennial was al
luded to as a means for the promo
ton Of good feeling and better ac-
with foreign nations.
DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.
Abiding 10 the reduction in al
lowances for diplomatic service, the
President cannot escape the conclu
sion that in some cases the with
holding of appropriations will prove
an expensive economy, aud that the
small retrenchments secured by a
change Of grade in certain diplomat
ic posts is not an adequate consider
alton for the loss of influence and
Importance which will attend our
foreign representatives under this
reduction

ltion the Abatement Of the questions

Democrats claim that it was not done TO,

Democrats claim that it was not done for
the purpose of preventing the negroes
from voting, therefore it was legal cleo
ton. True, the negroes did not vote, be-
cause they were afraid to. That was
their own fault. The Democrats have
brought before the canvassing board,
hundreds Of affidavits from negroes who
say they voted the Democratic ticket of
their own tree will. We do not doubt
that there were blacks who did so, but
they were rare. They could be 'sbull-
dozed'' into doing so, and in many cases
doubtless were, and the same process of
reasoning which induced him to vote the
Democratic ticket, would induce him to
make an affidavit that he did so willing
ly. The fact is, the more the facts are
developed in this Louisiana business, the
more clearly it shown that murder,
terrorism and nearly all the crimes in
the decalOgue, were INDUCED in by the
Democrats Ofthat state to carry it, in
spite of the wishes of the people, for Til
den. After having, as they supposed,
carried the state by these means, they
