Text from Gen. Hancock's Letters.

When fraud, violence, or incompe-
tence control, the noblest Constitution
and wisest laws are useless.
The bayonet is not fit instrument for
collecting the ties of freemen.
1t is only by full vote, free ballot,
and fair count, that the people can rule
in fact, as required by the theory of our
government. Take this function away
and the whole structure falls.
The great principles of American lib.
erty are still the ightful inheritance of
this people, and'e should be.
The right of trial by jury, the habeas
corpus, the liberty of the press, the free.
dom of speech, the natural rights of prop.
erty must be preserved.
The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fif-
teenth amendments to the Constitution
of the United States, embodying the re-
suits of the war for the Uuion, are invio-
liable.
If called to the Presidency I should
deem itmy duty to resist, with all my pow
er, any attempt to impair or evade the full
force and effect ofthe Constitution, which,
in every article, section and amendment,
is the supreme law of the land.
This Union, comprising general Gov
ernment with general powers for pur.
poses local to the State, is polity the
foundations of which were laid in the
profoundest wisdom.
This is the Union which our fathers
made, and which has been so respected
abroad and so benefcent at home.
The war for the Union war success.
fully closed more than fifteen years
ago.
All classes Of our people must share
alike the blessings of the Union, and are
equally concerned in its perpetuity, and
in the proper administration of public
affairs.
We are in state of profound peace.
Henceforth let it be our purpose to cult
vate sentiments Of friendship, and not of
animosity, among our fellow citizens.
AS one people, we have common in
terests.
A sedulous and scrupulous care of the
public credit, together with wise and
economical management of our govern
mental expenditures, should be maintain
ed, in order that labor may be lightly
burdened and that all persons may be
protected in their rights to the fruits of
their industry.

= The Irish correspondence of the Lon.
don Times writes: 'The potato crop is
simply magnificent. What few men can
recollect seeing, is now seen on all hands
fields beginning to wither naturally
without sign of disease. This is chief
ly owing to the change of seed, the
champions" being planted on all hands
from east to west, and fully bearing out
the good things spoken Of them. The
price of oats and cattle has doubled since
last year, that of pigs more than doubled.
Oats are good crop, and turnips and
mangolds have never looked better"

California has hopes Of ranking
among the Cotton States and talks of
building factories at once to work up the
crop. The Merced cotton fields have
shown what square miles of similar soil
could do, and Keen county. further

ton to prove that she has 100000 acres
more only waiting to be watered to make
good cotton fields.

An eastern paper publishes among
other things, the following fimsy reasons
why Grant should be elected for a third
term:
A strong Government is wanted to pro-
tect the rights Of the United States and
those Of its citizens in other lands. This
country il tired Of having its flag treated
with contempt, and its citizens forced 10
fy for protection to British consuls or Brit
ish ships. 1t is tired Of having foreign
companies, protected by foreign Govern
ments, establishing themselves in the con-
troll Of highways between the Atlantic and
the Pacific. 1t believes that the United
States ought to have as much OF q foreign
policy as will compel foreign nations to re-
spect the natural rights of the United
States on American soil. and the rights oil
American citizens everywhere.
Commenting on the above, the ST.
Louis Republican, than which there Is
not a more conservative and truthful
journal in the land, says: "If II flag is
treated with contempt it is because
thanks to the Republican party-we have
not navy enough to make it respected. If
our citizens are forced to fv for protec-
ton to British Consuls, it is because
thanks to a Republican Administration
the larger proportion Of American Con-
suls are utterly unfit for the position. APP
pointed as a reward for political services,
they know how to draw their salaries,
and that is about all. They have no in
fuence and deserve none, and when need
ed in a critical emergency, they are prac-
tically worthless. We can have a good
navy and good Consuls without a strong
Government OF the stalwart sort. As
for the control of highways between the
Atlantic and the Pacific that will be-
long to us whenever we choose to demand
it. Our Government has been strong
enough heretofore, to obtain and retain
all that properly belonged to it, and there
is no reason to suppose that it will be less
successful hereafter. Ali this talk about
a strong Government is in the interests
of Capitalization. The additional strength
is for employment at home
abroad. Federal power is to be in
creased SO that popular power may be di-
minished; SO that the few may rule easily,
and the many obey promptly. Hamilton
invented this theory, and Jefferson sat
down upon it so effectually that Repub'
licans will never be able t. resurrect it
into active life"
