amount Of palm oil to impart q uniform yellow

hours, and at the same time all the glycerine con.
tanned in the ingredients used is incorporated in
to the body Of the soap, which no other method
has yet been able to satisfactorily accomplish

able addition to the industries of the city of Port.

CATION was patient and laborious. The
object of Senator Boutwell, and his Re.
publican colleagues was to obtain capital
for Radical use in the pending canvass, and
they have labored industriously to that
end. Messrs. Bayard and Mcdonald left
no efforts unemployed to sift the truth from
falsehood and get atthe bottom of the facts
Of the matters they were investigating.
We have the best reason for believing that
the Radical inquisitors are badly disap-
pointed, and that they feel keenly, what
ever they may pretend in their report,
that they have been imposed upon by
who rushed to Washington with SANDERS
on their tongues, and appealed from the
judgment of the people to partizan

the disturbances which occurred during
the canvass were plotted by the Radical
that the election was entirely
fair and legal, so far as the Democrats
and Conservatives were concerned, and
that the overthrow of the Ames Admins
tration was the revolt of whites and
large number of blacks against abuses of
power and corruption in office, which had
become intoerable.

ativcs in Convention assembled proclaim their
heartfelt gratitude for the complete victory
which was won by the advocates of reform in
corrupt and prOscriptive political organiza-
ton which had held unlimited control of the
State government for SIX years, and that they
emphatically repel the imputation that their
triumph was won by any other than the legal,
honest and sincere efforts which the justice of
thoir cause and their duty freemen to main
tain unimpaired their 1nalIenab!e rights, de-
mauded them TO make.
ReSoEUed That in proof of the sincerity of
the pledges Of the victorious party in that cleo
tion to reduce expenditures to an honest and

pleasure TO the acts ofthe Legislature at its late

people are due forts faithful discharge of duty
in correcting the abuses of the public service !;
in diminishing the burden Of taxation in dis
missing supernumerary officials from the va
gous branches Of the public service who con-
sumed the earnings of labor without render
ing an equivalent; in dispensing the bless
ings of Just laws without distinction of race
color or class; in holding faithless public Of
hcials to strict accountability for their mis-
conduct; and especially does the popular
branch of the Legislature, which, standing
the grand inquest of the Commonwealth, de-
serve thanks for investigating the acts of the
gully officials whom they arraigned for NAL ,
feasance corruption and usurpation of uncon-
sttutionaI powers, and for driving them, by
the terrors of the offended law, into obscurity,
from the public trusts which they had vi
olated.
R,soIaed That in addition to the foregoing,
we proclaim the following principles the
rule and guide of our political faith and
conduct:
/. The doctrine of local self-government,
the surest protection of personal liberty; hdel-
ity to the Constitution of the United States,
and all the obligations imposed upon as
citizens of common country.
2 Free schools, free suffrage, equal rights.
3. Equal and exact justice TO all citizens,
of every race and cline. native and foreign
born: and no discriminating legislation for
the benefit of favored classes or corporations,
!. No prescription for opinions sake-no

Hon. c. r. Rockers SPeeeh...The
Truth of History

On our first page is printed the speech
of Hon. G. E. Hooker, our immediate
Representative. in reply to the aecusa-
tons of intimidation and fraud which
have been made against the people who
overthrow carpet-bag misgovernment in
our State last year. A notable feature
of this speech is the proof which it fur
nishes, that, so far from showing dis
position at the present time to interfere
with the privilege secured TO the cOlored
race by the war, it was the wish OF the
white people of Mississippi to confer
upon them citizenship ana the right Of
the ballot" when these rights were first
decreed to them by 1.-THE will of the ma
ton" The readers of THE CLARION
will remember how zealously we advo-
Gated this course in 1867 -'68, when the
issue of reconstruction was first submitted
to our people-how confidently we pre-
dicted that to this complexion it must
come at last, aud how earnestly we
argued that it would be accordant with
sound policy to make the best of the
circumstances in which the result of The
war had pl iced us, and not only to rec
ognize the right of the eolored man TO
{" citizenship and the ballot" but to in
struct him how he should exercise the
estimable privilege of suffrage, and thus
to protect the commonwealth from the
harm that would result from its improper
use. Subsequent events have fully vim
dicated us, and we have never seen the
| day that we have not congratulated our
selves upon the position which we then
took, in defiance Of reproach and mis-
representation. We value no little the
testimony of our able Representative in
reference to what at that time and is
now the true sentiment of our people in
whose name he has spoken. Time is a
great ally of truth and justice. It's record
is made up slow, but very sure.
