What Mr. otevens calls “apathy,”
and what'cominon sense calls reaction
and a return to reason, is now the pro
minent political feature at the North.
The people arc tired of Radicalism.—

the “Rock of Ages,” the “progress of
liberty,” and the. like torch-light pro-

To Gen. U. S. Graft :
It is not my pivpose to criticise, or
make a formal r-ply to Gen, Pope's
letter. To all irtelligent minds that
letter must furnish its own severest
criticism, and i's own most effective
refutation. Brsides, knowing the

matter of dollars and cents; lower
taxes; cheaper rents, and food and

afford it. It costs too much. This
reaction began in the very stronghold
of Radicalism—New England. Here

Thus, in Connecticut, Radicalism
with a majority of 541 in 1866, in 1867
was defeated by a Democratic majority
of 892. The reaction in this State is
still more marked, when wo remember
that only two years before the Radical
ticket was successful by more than
11,000 majority.
We have, as yet, only imperfect re
turns from elections this week in Ver
mont and California. -Both are Radical
States. The vote in Vermont in 1866
Democratic, 11,292; Radical, 34,117.
Which gives a Radical majority of
22,825. The claimed Radical majority
now is “about 18,000,” or an admitted
loss of “about” 5,000 votes in one year.
From California, however, we have
the glorious news that the Democrats
have elected the Governor and State
candidates, two out of the three Con
gressmen, and a majority oi members
of the Legislature—securing, it will be
seen, the election of a Democrat to the
United States Senate. Whatever-“ex -
oi planations” defeated Radicalism may
offer, the fact cannot be argued away
that this great Democratic victory is
clue to the irresistable popular reac
tion.
These elections and this reaction
will be manifest in the returns in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, especially in
Ohio, where negro suffrage, which the
State lias heretofore rejected, is made
prominent issue thi- fall. In this
: connection, It is weil to call attention
! to the tabic presented by the Personal
I Representation Society to the Albany
| Constitutional Conventon, showing that
| in the elections last year in twenty-
three-Stales, the total Radical vote was
2,061,871, against a total of 1,644,308
Democratic votes. The total Radical
majority is therefore 417,503, and a
change of 208,787 votes, or only six
cent., would turn the balance
per
jd to District head- against thejRadicals in every State.

vast effort, the
be accomplished;
o, the greatest evils
may be inflicted.—
save constitutional
liberty, it is certain you can. American
freedom, protected by governments or
ganized under and secured from excess
by written Constitutions, is the grand
slake. Save it, and yours will rise—
the very Tenerifte of Lumen reputa
tions. Let it be lost, or let others save
it without your help, or in :piie of your
opposition, and no mortal ever fell to
lower deep from higher place, only be
cause so blind to chance- or unequal to
duty.
Now, then, to this enc I ask you to
pardon me if 1 beg you. first of all, to
fuliy comprehend the one idea in
American politics, without which every
other idea can only confuse and mis
lead; that the- written Constitution, and
that which is authorized thereby, is the
only legitimate American will, and
therefore the only supreme American
law. Violate, disregard, lose sight of,
or refuse to see this one truth, and no
wisdom nor learning can enlighten,
nor position, nor power, nor armies
save. - 'Then, anarchy as the ordeal, aud
despotism as ti e goal, is inevitably
American destiny.
In the next place let me remind you
that, in times of public peril, frankness
however discouraging, is the highest
possible crime. If you havo the great
ness of soul required to appreciate this
truth, my letters will not be unheeded,
though tie writer be represented from
official headquarters as “turbulent and
disloyal.”
Keeniryr on this standpoint of the
Constitution and guided by this spirit
of frankness, I propose, in three sepa
rate notes, to lay before you the real
facts touching three separate but im
portant propositions :
1. Who they are, of the Southern
white race race, who • will accept the
Military bills, as a plan oi reconstruc
tion, and what are the reasons and no
tions which control and actuate in such
accept«mce.
2. Who they are, of the Southern
white race, who reject said bills as a
plan of reconstruction, and what are
the reasons and motives which control
and actuate them in such rejection.
3. What plan will cordially unite all
the Southern people; secure permanent
union; avoid future wars; restore and
increase -national prosperity; perpetu
ate constitutional government,
most effectually protect the African
race in their rights." And, finally, what
the government and the people of the
Ntjrth must, do as iadispensible to peace
if they persist in forcing upon the
Southern States the plan of roconstruc-
proposed in the military bills.
*4 on these three points f intend

ly turned poor lad. Pope - u and
put his face where lbs back - tight to
be, and caused him to put his coat on
with the collar down. They have uiadt-..
Gen. Pope recommend, by name. tbre4
men for banishment, because thev op
pose the military bills, when these very
counsellors and loyal Radicals desired
to banish, or mob in 1S60, because they
opposed secession. Alas ! how '-veil I
know them, and how well they know
poor Gen. Pope ! Some of these aban
doned the Confederacy very soon - -as
soon as they failed to get office or con
tracts—and now call themselves original
Union men, and a few of them have ac
tually taken the test oath. Others held
on to secession as long as il was safe
and profitable Of course, now, to
aveid confiscation and disfranchise
ment, they are for leconstruction, and
swear at every corner “the Radicals can
do as ’ they piease—the Constitution is
dead aud the President is nobody.”
Under this head it pains me to have
to include some really original Union
men, who, failing to be recognized bv
the people as the only fit persons to
have office after the surrender, became
soured, and, with a desperate petulance
abandoned the conservative principles
of ihqii' lives and rushed into" Radical
ism.
3. Tmid men. We have amoBg us
some good meaning men. They want
peace. So, Heaven knows, do ail of
us-i Peace! It is a sweet word! Some
of our people so long for peace that
they will run after anybody who cries
peace, like hungry sheep after the man
who shakes a bundle of fodder, never
thinking, poor creatures, they are being
led to a shearing house or a slaughter
pen ! So, some are alarmed with the
idea of confiscation and further dis
franchisement. “ We must take the
best we can get,” they say. “ It is no
use to talk about the Constitution. The
Radicals are too mean to regard that.
They don’t care for their oaths. They
don’t care for the Union, They don’t
mind Johnson. They' say if we don’t
take these Military bills they will put
on us something worse,’and they are
mean enough to do it, and the North
ern people don’t seem to care. They’ll
take our lands and every thing else.
We had better go with them to keep
them from ruining us.” Much are the
arguments we hear every day in favor of
the Military bills!
I have heard of many reasons why
different parties 3bould be supported ;
but the Radical party can nionopolize
this one, urged by Its own supporters.
It disregards the Constitution; tram
ples on oaths ; robs the people ; and
will do worse things if it is kept in
power!
4. Policy men.—These are of various
kinds. Some say it is policy to give
suffrage to the negroes because the
Southern whites can control their votes
and disappoint the Radicals. Some say
we can scon to go with the Radicals un
til we get in the Union and then wc can
do as we please. Others say bv accept
ing the Military bills we can got control
of the Convention with the right kind of
men, and form a Constitution to suit us,
or, if we must form one to suit the Rad
icals, wc can afterward change it again.
All these policy men feel insulted if
you call them Radicals. They excited
ly swear that they are not Radicals;
they are only going to trick the Radi
cals. They are going to beat the Radi
cals at their own game of deception.
They also insist that the Constitution
“ is a ghost ”—the Government is gone
—that the Radical party is the only ex
isting government, and we can do more
to destroy it by feeding it than by fight
ing it.
They frequently whisper, in confidence:
“These military men, from Grant down,
_ u _ know nothing about law or the ComliUition.

tool, and it is no trouble at ail to man
age him. A.nd as for the Radical party,

Ho-- ong can a government las: which
;s established over a people who univer
sally feai that it is oppressive, know it
'is illegal, and accept it only as a hard,
temporary policy ? How much good
will can it breed, and how much devo-
tipn can it inspire ? Can such a recun-
sRuction furnish -aguaranteo of future
Lwon ahcl peaoc? Will it rcstorecon-
fidetoee, inr- latppiness, or prosperity?
Will it pay the /national debt, or pre-
servet-the national honor, or build again
the wants places ? You may, withRlie
help of the deceived negro, force this
plan. But force alone can do the work,
for it meets no man’s approval. If
force alone can establish this plan of
reconstruction, how long will it Hast
when that force shall be withdrawn?
If force alone gives it origin, must not
force alone secure its continuance ?
And does this not'make military des
potism permanent ? Is force tho “great
principle of the government,” of
which Gen. Pope speaks ? Is this the
problem by which to “ perpetuate re
construction in the spirit on which can
alone assure free government?” Oh,
what a destructive absurdity is this
irom the mouth of a ruier in a land of
written constitutions.
I think, as Gen. Pope says, that three-
fourths of the negro vote will be “for
the Convention,” and to carry out the
Military bills. They do not know what
the Constitution is, or what they are
voting for. But they are taught, by
emissaries and low office-seekers, that
tho Radicals are their only friends, aud
they must give such votes to keep their
friends in power. They are also
taught that every white man who
votes against a Convention is their ene
my. The negroes alone in the South
approve these Military bills, and they
approve from false teachings and in a
spirit of hatred to the white race. Is any
man, North or South, so stupid as not
to see to what this will lead? Can
even force prevent a war of races under
such a government? Will the North
ern people press this fate upon us ?—
Will they longer sustain a party which
tramples thus upon every principle of
freedom, every sentiment of right,and
every guarantee of peace to perpetuate
its own criminal existence. Will you,
General, be the leader of that party?
Will you be the nourishing breeder of
hatred between the races, the willing
instrument of oppression upon a people
who laid down their arms to you on
your assurance of protection so long
as they obeyed “the laws of tho State
in which they lived.” Will you bo the
grand executioner of liberty for the
continent? For I tell yo_ no nation
which forces despotism upon ton mil
lions ot people can itself remain free.-—
Despotism for none, is as just as truth,
and as inevitable as destiny. In the
Constitution is liberty for all and for
ever. Out of the Constitution is bloody
anarchy and final despotism without
hope. You won no victory in the war
if you lose the Constitution now. Amor-
cans, from ocean to ocean, and from
the icebergs to the orange groves, will
remember, with sorrow and weeping,
the scenes at Appomattox Court House,
if you forget the Constitution now.—
You led no armies for the Union if you
enforce these Military bills for the Ra
dicals. The Constitution or the Radi
cal party must perish. Fame invites
you to live with the first, and infamy
woos you to lead tho last.

was 28,000, has been nearly if not en
tirely overcome, and it will take soma
days certainly to determine whether,

Democrates, and others are in doubt.

the Radicals cannot be defeated by de-
opposed to the military bills. Some
few among them I know to be ■: -aDe-
men, and who accept thebills, * A tho
great body of these officers seem only
intent upon making themselves and
the government odious to our people.
The civil officers of the States may ba de
scribed as quiescent rather than acquies
cent. A few accept what they are or
dered not to reject.
2. Adventurers—By these I moan per
sons who never act with consistency of
principles, nor from any settled con
victions of right, nor in any spirit of
devotion to the public good. They are
bred by all revolutions, and, in their
turn, breed the chief horrors of all rev
olutions. Thev gather on States in
trouble like flies in the room of ilie
sick. They are always on the strong
side," General. They composed the un
principled portion of the secession par
ty. These are they who committed the
frauds: deceived the people; stirred the
passions of the masses; who wept into
secratoocieties with an Indian name,
ahcL^mdged themselves to force the
§ta£e out if the people did not vote it
out. *Tnese a-e they who led the peo
ple into their present desperate condi
tion, and who seek to plunge them in
to still deeper misfortunes. I know
these men well. They are among Gen.
Pope’s counsellors. They accept me
military bills. They are popular at Gefi.
Pope’s headquarter^. They will smlre
out that “full term of. six months,’
which the General prescribes, to fie re-

liered of the disabilities ! Indeed, they
life of radicalism. The devil niu3t be
fought with truth and the Radicals with
the" Constitution! Then victory, sooner
or later, will be sure, permanent and
glorious. “Get thee behind me, Satan,”
must be the language of every true pa
triot to this modern political fiend, Rad
icalism.
Now, General, the catologue is com
plete. Every white man in the South
who accepts the Military bills belongs
to one or other of the above classes.
Gen. Pope thinks they will be largely
in majority in Alabama, and will have
some majority in Georgia. I do not
think so. The two first classes are sta
tionary and umnilaential. The two
last were, at one time, seemingly very
numerous and embraced many of our
best citizens. They were desperate.
But the number has greatly diminished,
•lifV and raciiliv decreasing.
Gen. Pope, is a decided negro suffrage
advocate, though he favored conferring
the right of franchise on the more in
telligent of the freedtnen. He was
willing even to adopt a property quali
fication, so that there could be a clear
admission of the principle. The Presi
dent, I understand, has taken the prop
osition oi Gov. Parsons under consider

But suppose every white man in the
South were to accept, and should vote,
with such convictions and pur; .-.cs, for
the Militarv bills, what good results
would follow? 1 tell you, frankly, I
do not know a respectable white map
in the South who approves the Mili
tary bills as constitutional, or right, or just,
or desirable. Not one! I do not believe
there is a single one who will, even for
th^ffimoval of his disabilities, put him
self on record as supporting or defend
ing these bills as, were in his opinion,
constitutional or righteous. We all
know that very many of those who ac
cept the bills openly declare them un
constitutional, unjust and oppressive.
Thirty Women Starring.
Thirty women, in Montgomery, Ala.,
with children, numbering ninety-six
in the aggregate, published a card in
the papers of that city, in which they
declare that they are actually suffering
for the absolute necessarieJ ef life, and
can get no work with which to support
themselves and their helpless children,
They state that they have been receiv
ing assistance from the United States
Government and from Dr. Rose, but
these sources have been closed.
They appeal for help, and say :—
“We know not what to do to avoid
starvation ! The wailings of our chil
dren for bread are horrible to hear.—
Unless we obtain some assistance we
must starve.”. This certainly is a pite
ous appeal; it has the pathos of Lun
ger. It is to be hoped the ulGzen * of

The California Election,
The Democracy have, knocked tho
bottom clean out of the Radical tub in
California. The entire ticket is Demo
cratic. The Governor, Legislature and
three members of Congress place that
State right on tho Conservative record.
Naturally enough the Radical Press
and leaders are disgruntled and dis
gusted with the result. In place, ■ how
ever, of acknowledging their, signal de
feat, they now seek to belittle the im
portance of the election and ascribo
the result to local and personal issues.
But the truth is, the people became
alarmed at the infamous role being
played by the Disunion Destruction
party. Hence the reaction and com
plete overthrow of the Radical scheme
for universal-suffrage and Puritan su
premacy. The people of California are
not yet prepared to become a part
the Chinese Empire. In other woi
they do not think it safe to ’deli
themselves and their State over to
hundred thousand Chinese on
suffrage would be conferred by
ing out the Radical programme/
