B1~ DEMOCRATS AND NATIONALS,
STAND FOR Your CoUNTRY's COOP -
Endurance and nerve is now required
of You; a voracious and inscriptions
party is threatening the peace OF youl
country; they desire to perpetuate I'M
constitutional laws, which they deem
essential for their protection in power.
They know the potency of the purse
and the sword, and they are determined,
without regard TO right or justice, to
hold control OF both. You owe your
selves and tie people a high and holy
duty. Preserve the life of the Nation
and the liberty of the people by repeal
ing those obnoxious laws which places
the ballot of the citizen under the con-
troll of the sword.

COL. BEN. WILSON.

Congressman Wilson writes to a
friend in Wheeling that he would, if
nothing else can be done, be in favor OF
adjourning and going home without
giving the administration dollar,
should the President insist upon with
holding his sanction from bills that are
wise and conservative in their charac-
ter, securing to the people free cleo
tons, free ballot, aud fair aud impartial
jury trials:
If YOU look at the status of the par
ties for a moment you will see how un-
equal the contest between them and the
people is. The Democratic party have
nothing to recommend them to public
favor and popular will but their adher
ence to the Constitution of the United
States, aud their desire to protect the
people Of this country. The Republi-
can party, under the law as it now
stands, have the right to employ the
army, chief Supervisors and assistant
Supervisors, almost without number,
and Deputy Marshals TO arrest almost
anybody they please, without just cause
or provccatiou, Then again, in the
Southern States, they nave excluded all
the better element out Of the jury boxes,
so that all officious Supervisor may COM
plain, and Deputy Marshal may arrest
any gentleman upon the affidavit of a
negro, and take him to the Court which
is presided over by a Republican Judge,
and the party thus arrested, without
law or authority, consigned to the pen
i,entiary. Under the present statute
when Court calls for these officers, the
Department of Qn) Justice appoints
them and the Treasury Department
pays them.

BH- JUSTICE TO JAMES RuMsEY.-The
subioined extrac. from letter OF the
Honorable A. Dudley Mann,now in Eu-
rope, to Col. A. r. Boteler Of this town,
furnishes additional evidence of James
Rumsey's title to be regarded as the in
ventor of the Steamboat
CHANrILLr, FRANCE, Feb. ls, 1879.
My Dear Colonel Boteler:-The Win
chester Times brought me an extract
FROM your Lecture at Charlestown, en-
titled, Justice to James Rnmsey. This
extract, though short, has interested me
so intensely that / cannot refrain from
venturiug to ask the favor Of You 10
present to me complete copy thereof.
| am delighted that you have perform.
ed so important service 10 history aud
in manner so praisewor,hy. it was
due TO the memory of Mr.. Rumsey that
this very wonderful discovery should
attach to his name instead of attaching
70 that of another Thirty years ago |
was furnished with convincing evidence
that he was the inventor of the steam
boat. l was then in frequent inter
course, in Paris, with Mr.. Breedloye Of
New Orleans-a septugenarian--a re-
markably intelligent individual, and
distinguished for the extent and accura-
CIV of his knowledge with respect to
steam as q vessel propeller. Until l
conversed with him, l was like almost
everybody else, inclined TO regard Rob
ert Fulton as tie originator Of the idea,
but he presented to my mind such an
array of facts that it proceeded from the
capacious brain of Ramsey, and that for
tuilious circumstances enabled Fulton to
appropriate it, as to Immediately remove
the cherished belief which | entertained.
Mr.. Breedove was personally well ac'
quainted with Rumsey, as he was sub
sequently with Fulton IL Fitch.
/ am already under obligations to You
for valuable attentions. Pray increase
them by sending me yourLrclnre, winch
may ''cut figure" in the European
world. Meanw lille | beg you TO believe
me the cordial and faithful well wisher,
and devoted friend of you and yours,
