back; DIR. A. Bean, Congress, short term
J.. R. Webster, Governor; F. J. Mead, Lieu

s. H. Cummings, Treasurer, Greenback; j.
S. H. Calhoun, Greenback, Attorney-Gen-
eral s. L. Barrett, Superintendent Public
Instruction; John D. Howe, Greenback,
Supreme Judge.

must be met with the same unf1inching
spirit of resistance which foiled the attempt
to take possession of our property by force
of arms; that the faith Of the Nation shall
be sacred, and its contracts redeemed in
the spirit and TO the letter, and the
Nations honor shall be held inviolate
as the Nations life; that the ~greenback
dollar shall be made good in honest coin;
that the thirty millions Of trade dollars in
circulation be made legal tender; and that
the record of the Democratic party in its
recent attempt to steal the Presidency by
intimidation and murder during the cam
paign, by stufing ballot-boxes and the
bribery of Electors, followed by the repudi.
alton of its own offspring, the Electoral
Commission, and by flibustering in the
House, illustrate the sspirs of its so-called
Democracy.

There is more need of aid than ever. The
wharves are bare, industrial enterprises
closed up, and nearly ever laboring man
out of employment. A meeting last Mon
day of nearly all the charitable associations
developed the fact that, with the exception
of the Towards, the funds are nearly al ex-
hausted.. The Towards furnish no state
ment of funds on hama. 1t may not be con-
sistent with their rules to do so. Provisions
are most needed, and, in my opinion, the
Orleans Relief Committee is the best or
ganized for such distribution. They have re-
ported the need of so, 600 rations, in addtion to
what have been issued. l have no idea
that will be enough. Thirty charitable as
