Tn the People of the United. StuM ;
Our presence and official duties at
W.ushi.igion have enabled us to lie-
com-1 fidly acquainted with the ac
tions ami designs of those who con
trol tlie Radical party, anti we feel
called ujHin to utter a few words of
warning against the alarming strides
they have made toward llie.ceu^nil^
i/aitioii of power in tlic bauds of
Congress ami the Executive. The
time ami attend >n of the Radical
leaders have Iksoii almost wholly
directed to devising such legislation
as will, in their view, best preserve
their ascendency, and no n.-gardfor
the wise restraints imposed lyr^he.
Constitution has checked their reck-
less and desperate career. The
President of the United States hits
l>eei> formally nnuounced ns a can
didate for re-election. The declar
atious of his selish supporters have
lieen echoed by a subsidized press,
and the discipline of party has al
ready made adhesion to Ins person
al fortunes the supreme test of po
litical fealty. The partisan legisla
tion to which we refer was decreed
and shaped in secret caucus, where
the oxtremest counsels always do
minated,‘ and wus adopted bV 'V
subservient majority, if not with
the in^rt,-certainly with the effect
ti> )d;tt^*tn~tWTiandsof the Presi
dent powers to command h2s£
renominntion, and to employ
army, liftvjr, and militia, at his sole
discretion, os a means of subserving
bis personal ambition. When the
s.xl experience of the lust two years,
so disappointing to the hopes and
generous confidence of the country,
is considered, in connection with
the vhdentntternnces and rash pur
poses of those who control the
President's policy, it is notsurpria
i j iir that the gravest apprehensions
for diet future peace of the; nation
should'be entertained.

which cam any longer be ctffltfl

in the calm,-good sense, the “sobeS"

people. We call up*n them to be
true to themselves artd to their past,
and disregarding party measures
ami minor differences, to insist upon
a decent equalization of power, the
restriction of Federal authority with
in its just and proper limits, leav
ing to'the Stales tliat control over
domestic affairs which is essential
to their happiness and tranquility
and good government , Everything
that malicious ingenuity could sug
gest has been done to irritate the
people of the Middle and Southern
State. Gross and exaggerated
charges of disorder and violence
owe their origin to the mischievous
minds of political managers iu the
Senate and House of Representa
tives, to which the Executive lias,
we regret so say, lent his aid, and
thus he!|ied to inflame the popular
feelings, fit all this course olhos-i
tile legislation and harsh resent
ment, no word of oooctliatioo, of
kind encouragement, of fraternal
fellowship, has ever been spoken by,
the President, or by Congress, to
the people of the Southern'States.
They have been addressed only in
tbe language of proscription.- - u ir
Wc earnestly entreat our fellow
citizens in all pa^ts of the Union, to
spare no effort to .maintain peace
and order, to carefully protect the
rghts or every citizen, to preserve
kindly relations among all men,
and to discountenance and discour
age any violations of the rights of
any portion of foe people secured
under the Coastitutip^ar any of its
amendments. .
Let us, in conclusion, earnestly
beg of you not to atd the present
attempts of Radios! partisans to stir
e up strife in the Iona,-to renew the
issues of the war, or to obstruct the
return of peace and prosperity to
the Southern States, because it is
thus that they seek to divert tbe
attention of the country from the
corruption and extravagance of
their administration of public nf-
fairs, and the dangerous and pro
fligate attempts they are making
toward the creation of centralized
of the United States, or of either, or by f
other means, as he may deem necessary
for the suppression of such insurrection j

—Not umdng the least'UfShe gratifying
features ot the Spring elections of this
year, is the general abandonment of the
Kajical patty by the Germans of the
Northwest. It was to the earnest sup
port of the German voters, who have here
tofore neted with the Radicals, that foe
sweeping Democratic victories in the Mis-
touri and Ifinncsota municipal elections
disheartening, see tlie game fall
into the hands of qiy opponents
through dircliction of duty on the
part of »ur so-called representa
tives.”
Now, if your corresjxindent de
sired to write the truth concerning
myself, he had but to read tbe
Globe, of the 7th instant,, which
contains the vote on tlie Ku'Kfux
bill. 1 send you the extract, which
is as follows;
Mr. Loug—My colleague, Mr.
Price, who is absent and paired
with some gentlemen on the other
side, would, if lie were here, vote
against the bill: ‘ r :
Mr. Averill—My colleague, Mr.
Dunnell, is paired with the gentle
man from Georgia, Mr. Price. My
colleague, if present, would vote
“ave."
1 regret tliat I should be so fre
quently, singled by yourci>rrespon>-
dent tor unjust criticism. It may
be that 1 have overlooked Ins
claims in some way or other. , In
deed, I have taken no pains to put
myself under any obligations, what
ever, to. newspaper corresjiondents
wliile at the Capital.
I was paired off with Mr.
Dunnell, of Minnesota, a Radical,
who remained in Washington, but
did not vote on any of the amend
ments, or the bill itself, as tbe
Globe of tbe 7th instant shows. 1
did not leave Washington until
ibis arrangement was made. A
reference to the yetis and nays will
show that Mr. Dunnell did not vote
on any of the ((repositions. As an
accommodation to me he agreed to
pair off on the bill and all its
amendments. Had I been present
I should have voted against the
bill iu all its features. Mr. Dunnell
Would have voted for the bill and
the amendments proposed by the
Republicans.
In your editorial column of the
same date is the following, taken
from the Louisville Ledger:
•*On the most important vote—
the Ku-Klux bill—Blair of Mis
souri ; Hamilton, of Pennsylvania ;
Hamilton of Maryland ; Price of
Georgia ; Read of* Kentucky, and
Tuthill, of New York, were ab
sent Mr. Read was paired with
Dr. Darrell, of Louisiana, not Sy-
pber, as was erroneously stated.—
Price and Tuthill were not paired
on the' habeas corpus amendment,
an 1 if present would have made the
vote a tie. Blair’s vote added would
have defeated tlie jiower given
the President to suspend tbe writ of
habeas corpus; and had all the ab
sentees been present, the defeat of
the bill was certainly positive."
Blair, of Missouri is a Republi
can ; Tuthill was paired off with T.
S. Speer, of Georgia; Hamilton, of
Maryland, was paired with Peters,
of Maine; Haldinan, ot Pennsyl
vania, (not Hamilton,) was paired
oft' with Washington Townsend, of
Pennsylvania. On every vote tak
en, there was a larger number of
ab%nt Republicans than Democrats.
Every absent Democrat was paired
oftj except Mr. D. Townsend, of
New York. It was not within the
jrower of the Itemocratie party in
Congress to have defeated the bill,
orany amendment that did pass.—
The bill passed bv a vote of 118
to 01.
Tne Democratic members of Con
gress are as vigilant and watchful
as it is possible for them to be—cer
tainly more so than irrejionsible
newspaper correspondents are ex
pected to be. I tru-t that I shall
not b„* wanting in attention to the
interests oi my constituents and
party.
In obtaining a short leave of ab
sence, I only availed myself of' a
privilege which nearly every Con
gressman availed himself of since
my admission, and having paired
off'with a Radical and a Republi
can, who remained in Washington,
and who did not vote on nny prop
osition pending the passage of the
bill, i am confident that no injury
has been sustained by my act.
You will oblige me by publish
ing the foregoing.
Very respectfully, yours, etc.,
W. P. Pkice.
