PARTICULAR attention is invited to the
letter of Colonel E. n. Hill, on another
page of this paper. 1t will repay reldiag
for it admirably sets forth the reasons why
the Southern Wings should vote the Re-
publican ticket now and unite with that
party in the future The well-known patri-
otism and national feeling of the men who
composed that party should induce them to
use all their influence to secure the success
of Republican principles, for only in that
success can the Union be perpetu3ted and
the Government be restored to its pristine
purity. Colonel Hill has not fully shown
the evils that would be the inevitable result
Of the return of Democratic supremacy.
This he will endeavor TO do in future

NATIONAL CREDIT.

In peace or in war the strength of ma
ton is its power to command money. If
it has not this indispensable dsSidsratum,
it is weak, and may fall to pieces, or be-
come the victim, the supple tool, or the
mere slave and parasite of stronger
power. Such is Poland and such is Ire
land to-day. The United States has a
large debt, debt contracted during pro-
tracted civil war insugurated by one half
of the States against the other half to de-
stroy the Union and overthrow the Gov
ernment The Government has met and
provided for this debt, principal and inter
est and provided for it in coin when it was
due, and at the very moment when it was
due, according to promise and according to
the most sacred obligations Of the Govern
ment. f.-.. ..
All this has been done and is now being
done under Republican rule. Whatever
there is of credit that attaches to this fair
dealing with respect to this national in
debtedness belongs to the Republican party.
1t is frequently asserted that the now domi-
nant party has ruined the country. The
men who say such things speak out of the

WITHOUT the muscle of the colored
laborer the cotton States would SOON relapse
into bowling wildernesses not q comnu-
nifty in either OF those States where the
whites would not be beggared if the colored
race were to make an exodus Commuui-
ties in which lands now sell at from five to
twenty five dollars per acre would, in such
an event, prevent their realizing as many
cents for their possessions. And yet these
turbulent Southerners have so long subsist-
ed upon the unrequited labor of the black
man that they would fain remand him to
condition of peoDage, the better to enable
them 10 control his labor and enjoy its
fruits. Should the time ever come when
