fects of slavery, and the two final res
olution are in substance, as follows:
Reao'red, That we are alarmed and
filed with apprehensions for the flu
tare, when VIC contemplate the prac.
teal sale of one of the great political
parties of the Republic by two poll.
licians of that party, who have held
and now hold very intimate relations
to the President, thus sacrificing
principle, and party and righteous
ness for the sake of temporary sue
cess.
Rcsolred, That we protest most
earnestly against the action of the
new Administration in making terms
with the chicfo of the Ku-Klux, the
instigator of the Hamburg massacre,
NJ. G. Butler, and still more earnestly
do we protest against the official rec
ogniti0n, by the Administration, Of
that arch enemy ofthe Republic, who
long since ought to have been hung
for treason, Wade Hampton, OF
South Carolina, and who now, by
threats and iutimidations, under the
present roof of the White House, as
well as on railroad platforms and in
other public places, dcfeS the power
of the Government and DULLES the
President into compliance with his
traitorous and wicked usurpations.
The present Administration is the
offspring of j. Madison Wells and
Eliza Pinkston, but the unflial Ad-
ministration does not seem to realize
the fact. Very poignantly Madison
and Eliza are made tofeel how sharp
err than serpent's tooth it is tohavc
n thanklcss child But no doubt that
cotton claim will he satisfactorily adj
iusted soon, and Mr.. Wells will re-
tire to slow music amid the plaudits
of the Republican party. But, alas,
for Eliza Pinkston! She can run
with the boys pretty we'll, but she
can't vote. There is but one open
ing for immortality for her, but one
way in which she can be kept before
the eyes Of the world. That is to
to have her simultaneously solidifi-
ed by some sharp chemist and plant
ed upon the roof Of the White House
as the guardian angel of its occupant
and n counterpoisc to the Goddess Of
Liberty on the Capitol, - Enquirer.
Suppose the House had voted APP
preparations for the army without
the condition that it should not be
used to uphold Packard or Chamber
lain. What chance do you suppose
Hampton and Nichols would have
had then?
as-ssa"H
Tho New York Times doesn't APP
prove the settlement (?) Of the South
Carolina question, and il is afraid
that there will be Il dangerous sacri-
fee of principle in the adjustment of
the Louisiana difficulty. This reads
very much as though the Southern
policy Of Mr.. Hayes was meeting with
formidable opposition in high places,
When the foremost Republican daily
in the country begins to growl at
that policy the latter has struck u
snag,-EE
