The Rev. W. w. Hicks is stumping in
Maine in the interest of the Republican
party and exerting his utmost eloquence
to intensity sectional animosity against
the South and employing an imagination
as fertile as Munchausen's in inventing
outrages to defame the character of the
people of Florida and frighten immigrants
from selecting this State as future home.
For proof of how faithfully he is repre-
sentlng the malignants in his adopted
State and answering the purpose for
which he has been sent East, read the
following from Maine paper:
Kennebec Qel DALEY Journal, August SOL
The Rockland Maine Free Press in speaking Of
Hon. W. w. Hicks of Florida, who is on the
stump in this State, says: He bears the marks
of the would-be assassin on his own person.
Since coming North his house with its valuable
contents has been burned. Seventy of his
friends and neighbors have been murdered in
cold blood, solely on account of Republican prin-
ciples, and with the manner and circumstances
of each he is personally familiar, attending the
funerals Of many. These things in peaceful
Floridal These things in Christian America !
In the name Of humanity which is the highest
conception of the mission of political parties. we
are called upon by our votes and every hOnOra
bic endeavor to make this boosted land ours q
land of liberty, and land of the Free"
Commenting on these mendacious state
ments, the jacksonville Union. remarks:
Billy Hicks never lies on small scale. His
ideas are large, and he does not contlne himself
to small figures. His neighbors in Clay county
will be fearfully shocked TO learn that seceny Of
their number have been brutallY murdered.
This must be 20, a. Billy Hicks makes the asser
ton, and moreover attended the funeral of most
Of the victimR What Q charmed life Billy must
have had 70 escape himself from the bloody as
sassins.
Billy represents his party in this StateOn the
National Executive Committee. What do the
decent men In the party think Of his declare
tons Of the condition of society in Florida
What does Billy mean by calling his estate on
the river " Arcadia" place Of fabulous serenity
and happinews
We could laugh at the sublime proportions OF
his lies, II we were not restrained by the knowl-
edge that they do obtain credit ct the North,
and that they do exercise . malign influence
upon our interests His ready flow of language,
his clerical position and earnest manner, viii
impress more or les Of his hearers, with a con-
vic4ion Of his sincerity and honesty.
The church 70 which be belongs should de-
grade him from the priesthood, and no honest
man should ever again recognize him as an &C
quainance.

passed through most terrific gale, last
ing about ~ hours. 1t has done immense
damage to this whole section-blowing
down houses, fences, and seriously injur-
ing the orange trees, and almost entirely
stripping them of fruit"
From the Cedar Key Journal we learn
that the damage at that place was consid-
cradle. The Gulf House veranda was

unfinished concrete buildings were blown

QUINCY, September 2, 1880.
Mr.. Editor: The Radical County Convention

Postmaster has been the active and shining lights
Of the Radical party in this county, was laid on
the shelf, Notwithstanding his efforts to receive
the nomination. The black masses were about
equally divided between an out and out black
ticket and one with money. The latter proved
the stronger of the two; and; after exhausting
much time in trying to induce several good
Democrats to allow their names to be used, they
fell back on their old friends, Col Martin and
Tim Stearns, the latter of whom had just arrived
that morning from trip to Maine and was sup
posed TO have come full handed. These two and
Claiburn Munroe received the nomination. The
first two by reclamation, the latter after sharp
contest with Lightburn The knowing ones here
are pretty well satisfied that Martin and Steans
are both too smart to stand one-half the amount
of advancing that they will be called on for
Stearns has store, It's true, and will aid the loyal
voters to small extent, but not enough to satisfy
them Martin will no doubt distribute scupper

den county will want something stronger. Take
it altogether, however, the ticket is as strong
one as they could have made, but it can't sosn.-
The Democra Is are fully aroused and the recruits
they will get from the respectable part of the
Radical party will enable them to elect their
ticket The more intelligent of the colored peo-
pie see clearly that their true interest lies with
the white people OF the county rather than with
the carpet-bag adventures.
Martin and Stearns are the only two white
Radicals in the county of any real responsibility,
and for their own sake it is to be regretted that
they have identified themselves against the inter-
ests of the people among whom they live by
allowing their names to be used by this party
As Is always the case with the Radicals, the rep
resentatives Of the church were the leaders, they,
as usual made use of their official authority to
preach up their only successful argument, hatred
and ill-will toward the Southern white man
Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make
mad" With this trueism in view the doom OF the
colored race seems certain. The colored preach
ers and carpet-bag adventures together have
inculcated such distrust and hatred into the minds
of the poor, ignorant colored man against the
Southern Democrats that nothing seems able 10
eradicate it. II is not hard to tell what the end
will be-they will open their eyes when too late.

We believe shata large majority Of the
people of the United Stats desire change
Of parties IN the na1ional administration.
The partisan Democrats, Of course, are
eager for It !; but there is ample evidence,
in our correspondence from all sections Of
the country, that the large class Of citi-
zens who are not attached to either party
look upon such > change ~ essential to
our national prosperity. And beyond
this, and Of still greater political signi6-
canoe, not few of the more thoughtful
members of the dominant party are more
or less openly expressing their content
with the signs that indicate the coming
revolution. The latter class have been
trying for years to effect reform within
their own organization. They have seen
ITS worst elements in control, not only of
party measures, but of public affairs

naught when weighed against politics.

better administration without sne over

licans for their own selfin gain, the men
who should be at the fr'nt in this organi-

With the non-patisan public the feel

several sections ofthe country, and es-
pecially between tn. Northern and South

hold of power will be lost the moment
his rallying war cry dies away on the
