The Brunswick Advertiser «ays: “A most

The Camilla Dispatch hopes that the General

We are likely to have the Georgia Western
sensation again. Senator Brown has come out
in favor of the road :n the following letter:
“Atlanta, Ga., O-tober 1*. 1880.—Hon. J. S.

any hesitation that I am in favor of the build
ing of the Georgia Western Railroad. I have
been on record for more than eight years

held in Atlanta about eight years ago
to put the ball in motion I took rather a promi
nent part and made a speech in favor of build-
in s it. The largfst interest I have in life is in
Atlanta real estate,which would be very much
benefited by the construction of the road.
Again I think it is for the advantage of a large

The Tampa Tribune says up to last Wednes
day afternoon the weather hal been unsettled
and blustery for five or six days, with a con
siderable rainfull. Last Friday was particu
larly blustery, with a stormy south wind, and
it was remembered by some of the old inhabi
tants that on the SuT*of October, 1848, thirtj--
two years ago, Tampa was visited by the
severest gale that it has ever experienced. On
that occasion the water rose over Tampa
street, the second from the river, and wes up
to the windows in the Pa'iner, now the Hand-
ford House.

The Tallahassee Patriot, a Radical paper,
says “owing to a press of other matter, this

The Fernandina Mirror states th-it on Friday
last William Green, a colored lad about sixteen
years of age, while attempting to jump on
a “shifting” engine near the depot in that city,
while the engine was in motion, fell between
the engine and a platform car, and was run
over by the latter, cutting him right in two and
causing death instantly. A coroner’s jury was
empanneled. which found that “deceased came

The Tallahassee Patriot understands that
there are several families in I eon county who
have very dainty appe'ites, and are quite fond
of pole-cata, and capture every one p issible for

Palatka Herald' “There are men enough in

urged some action in this matter. But, until
this matter is taken in hand bv those that we
could mention, nothing will be done. West

other p .rtions of the county will fill up, unless
the railroad locomotive shrieks through that
section knocking the props from under them.”
A correspondent of the Fernandina Mirror
writes that paper: “During rat her a protracted
visit North I was much gratified to find the
great interest taken iu the ‘Florida Canal."
and also that but one opinion obtained, viz.
that this great work should be made by the
government for the use and benefit of all our
people. An ‘internal improvement,’ the im
mense benefits of which, noth to our own com
munities and our foreigh trade, can hardly be
overestimated. A very general opinion pre
vailed that a ‘barge canal,' by meeting all the
requirements of commerce, and costing about
a fifth less, would be far more desirable than a
ship canal.”
Tallahassee Floridian: “Mr. W. B. Hill, of
Wakulla county, brought us on Wednesday
last a specimen of the finest upland rice we
have ever seen. The stalks measured fifty-
two inches in length, and the beads alone ten
to twelve inches in length. It was raised on
ordinary flat, upland, piney-woods land, with
out fertilizer or any kind, and with little culti
vation. A n acre of such rice would yield not
less than fifty bushels, which would net one
dollar per bushel at the Jacksonville rice mills.
The same acre, planted to cotton, would yield
not over two hundred and fifty pounds of lint,
which would, at ten cents, yield, gross, twenty-
five dollars, or just half the net profit from the
rice. There is a lesson in this.”

“We have b°en too long silent upon the ques
tion of a constitutional convention, because it
is unquestionably the vital topic before the
people of Florida. Not even the election of
General Hancock will so materially affect the
interest of the citizens of Florida as the con
tinuance of obedience to a constitution which
in its component parts tends to dwarf all that
is patriotic in our people. The addre?s of one
of Florida's native sons, given on our first
page, is worthy of consideration by our read
ers. And although the objections presented
against the instrument which to day circum
scribes the rights and privileges of our people
are not in every instance those that you would
urge, some of them are so weighty that every
intelligent voter must decide that a radical
change is demanded. As stated in the andress
of Mr. Barnum, the remedying of so radically
defective a constitution by amendments is too
uncertain and too slow; and if the future is to
be judged by the past, we cannot expect much
from that auarter. Let the true sovereigns be

The long-talked-of steamboat for the Santa

pondent from Waldo to the Sun and Pi ess
writes that paper under date of the 19th inst.:
"Yesterday the new steamboat went into the
water. At 4 p. m. a large crowd gathered for
the occasion, and many ladies and children
stood on the deck for the first ride. Miss Elva
M. Place stood at the bow. broke the cus
tomary bottle of wine, and she was named ‘F.
S. Lewis.’ Her dimens ons are about niuetyl
feet over all, beam eighteen feet, hold five feet
deep. The main deck is tightly caulked, an l
will be used for freight. The promenade deck
is seventy feet long, with the pilot-house I
front, and the cabin saloon, fifty feet long, . .
the centre, with railing and seats round the
sides. The machinery, built by William "
Sanderson, of Syracuse. N. Y.. consists of
large horizontal boiler placed forward, drivi
a pair of engines placed at the stern, with stern
paddle wheel. She will draw about sixteen

The boiler and & portion of the machinery
will arrive at Fernandina on ibis trip of the

will be running regular trips early in Decern

Tallahassee Patriot: "Last Saturday night,
in district No. 13. (on the Belair road), a regu
lar knock-down and drag-out row was hai by
some colored neighbors. The circumstances,
as we learned them, are about as follows: One
family had given a mortguge upon their cot
ton, which was being illegal.y told in small
lots, when a ntighl>oring family come to town
and inferroed against them. Whereupon the
white man bolding the mortgage went our,
seized what cotton was left, and carried it off,
telling the party at the time of tin informa-j
tion received. War was immediately declared
against the informant, and an attack
was made by one father and husband
upon the other. Thev went at it like trained
pugilists. The family gathered around and
the two wives sailed into e ich other, and went
to pulling hair and screaming: then two half-
grown l>o..8 and one aunt and niece begau to I
belabor each other, and four fights were in
progress at one tini*\ i his mei agerie coni
tinned until each combatant was completely-

broken, although one was armed with an axe
and the other had a gun. Quite a crowd as-

informant says they ’fit and fit. and nobody
was wasted *afte • the fit ended.’ Of course
they had to come before a Justice of the Be *cel
to get revenge aud rid of their loose change.

The Pensacola Gazette tells the following
story, which it says is ludicrous but true: “A
few Sundays ago a colored Baptist congrega
tion assembled for a ‘baptism’ on the beach at
Barkley’s Point The candidates were two. a
man and a woman. The preacher took charge
of the latter, while a lay brother led out the
former. Arrived at the requisite depth, the
preacher pronounced the necessary words,
and immersed the woman, while the assistant
simultaneously ducked the man; and all re
turned to the shore, about a quarter of a mile
distant. Meanwhile a mischievous person who
had com® as a spectator excited the crowd, be
fore perfectly satisfied, by inquiring by what
authority the aforesaid ‘brotner’ performed
the ceremony of immersion. Ana when the
unfortunate convert reached dry land he was
astounded by learning that he had not been
baptized at all. The congregation asserted
that brother Webb had no right to duck him;
and, despite h s protestations and argument-*,
the man'had to go back and be soused by the
preacher. Then the crowd contentedly dis
persed.”
San Diego Union.
M S. Root, of this city, a gentleman
whose veracity will not be questioned in
this community, gives us the following
statement of a scene which he witnessed
a short time since in the eastern portion
of this county: “I was at Campo on
October 1. An Indian had been (ound
guilty of breaking into the house of Mr.
Herrick and stealing some blankets. lie
was tried before justice of the Pea'.
Gaskiil and turned over to the old Indian
Alcalde and six Chiefs for punishment
They sentenced him to receive one hun
dred lashes. They were ju3t getting
ready to tie him up as I started for din
ner after putting out my team. The
prisoner was a large young man, six
feet high and well proportioned, lie was
tied up by the wrists with a long rope,
and the rope was passed through the
springs of a high seat on one side of
wagon and over the other side, the
victim being drawn up so that his fee!
would just touch the ground. Ilis feet
were spread, and each tied to the wagon
spokes, and his body was tied at the hips,
ilis shirt was removed, aud then a stal
wart Indian administered the punis
ment with a leather lariat, by whirling
around his head and bringing it dow
with his utmost force upon the naked
body of the prisoner. The blood
poured from the writhing man’s back
After a strong mau had administered
fifty strokes he was so exhausted by the
task that he gave way to another
fiend, a younger and more muscular In
dian, who continued the infamous tor
turo. Fifty lashes had already been laid
on, and the young devil continued to
cut into the flesh of the prisoner fifty
times more. I spare a recital of the aw
ful shrieks and cries of the poor, tor
tured creature. When the one hundred
lashes had been thus administered the
Indian Alcalde told the almost dying
man to leave the country, or he would
be bung if he ever came back. Dir.
Gasklll says: “After one of these In
dians has been whipped once he never
will steal again; it makes a ‘good Indian'
of him. The prisoner, when let down
fell to the ground, and could not move
without support from his sister."
Ants.
That ants have tome kind of sign
language has been proved by bir John
Ludbock in one of his recent papers. It
is unquestionable that if an ant discov
ers a store of food her comrades soon
flock to the treasure, although this is not
invariably the case. It has !»een urged
that this fact taken alone does not prove
any power of communication. An ant
observing a friend bringing food home
might infer, without being told, that by
accompanying the friend on the return
journey she might also participate in the
good things. This argument has been
met by Sir John Ludbock’s compelling
the ant who found the treasure to re
turn to the nest empty handed. If she
took nothing home, and yet others re
turned with her, he argues, there must
have been some communication between
them. As the result of carefully con
ducted and striking experiments, Le con
eludes that ants are in possession of some
thing approaching to a language—that
they are able to ask their friends, when
occasion requires, to come and lend them
a helping hand. Relatives are invariably
recognized. Young ants reared from eggs
taken from a nest were, when they
reached maturity, introduced to the
maternal abode, and although the old
ads could never have seen them until
that moment, yet in all the cases (ten)
they were undoubtedly recognized as
belonging to the community. A stranger
ant is invariably at once attacked and
killed. It would seem that the recogni
tion is not personal and individual, and
the fact that they recognize their friends
even when intoxicated, and that they
know the young born in their own nest
even when these have been brought out
of the chrvsalis by strangers, seems to
indicate that the recognition is not effect
ed by means of any sign or password.
The political convictions of an’s are
deep-rooted. When a queen was intro
duced into a queenless nest she was at
once attacked and destroyed; it would
seem as if ants which had been long
living in a republic could not be induced
to accept a queen.

Charleston, October 25.—The Demo
cratic campaign in South Carolina is red
hot, and your correspondent has never seen
a more enthusiastic or magnificent demon
stration than that made this evening by tbe
Democracy of the good city of Charleston
and the eurroundlug country. The pro
gramme called for a grand rally and ratifica
tion mass meeting at Citadel square, inau
gurated by a mammoth torchlight proces
sion of the “uuterrified,” and wa6 to have
taken place on Saturday, but was postponed
In consequence of inclement weather. Im
mense enthusiasm was manifested by tbe
various Democratic clubs and ward organi
zations, and the like of the demonstration
has never beeu 6een before in the ancient
city.
At 7 o’clock the Democratic organizations
assembled at their several places of ren
dezvous, and under the orders of Grand
Marshal Major General B. H. Rutledge,
formed in four divisions, as follows: The
first division on the east 6ide of Meeting
street, the right resting on Broad street,
under Assistant Marshal J. P. Lesesne. This
division, composed of the sterling Democra
cy, and embracing in its ranks the glorious
young Democracy of the city of Charleston,
was variously estimated to number four
thousand, with their lamps trimmed aDd
burning. The second division wa* formed
on the north sid2 of Broad street, the right
resting on Meeting street, under the com
mand of Assistant Marshal W. B. Trenholm,
aud presented ranks equally well filled with
steriing old line Deraacrats. The third di
vision was formed on the south side of Broad
street, with the right resting on Meeting
6treet, and was manipulated by that sterling
conservative German Democrat, Wm. B.
Bischoff, whose name and influence is a
tower of strength wherever good govern
ment aud true Democratic principles are at
stake. It numbered, according to various
estimates, between two and three thousand,
bearing lights, banners, transparencies, e*c.
Tne fourth division was formed on
Broad street, south 6ide, with its right rest
ing on King street, and was under com
mand of Assistant Marshal Augustine T.
Smythe.
Precisely at 7:30, the vast procession
moved towards the objective point, the Cita
del equare, passing through Meeting street,
and an idea may be formed of tbe length of
the Hoe when we state that when the head
of the column debouched Into the ampi
parade of the Citadel grounds tbe
rear was passing the Market, nearly
a mile distant. The effect of the proces
sion was grand, the lights and good natured
enthusiasm and the cheers, in anticipation of
victory, making up a most fascinating tout
ensemble.
Four bands discoursed music, and as the
column took up Ihe line of march the boom
ing guns from Citadel square indicated the
onward movement of tbe sweeping Democ
racy, while Roman candles, fireworks and
other pyrotechnic displays lent grandeur to
the picture.
Arrived at the Citadel, the sea of heads,
representing all classes and conditions of
orderly citizens, were addressed by Wade
Hampton, General E. W. Mo!ee, Major
Hugh S. Thompson, Hon. M. P. O’Conner
and others, all of whom made telling
and effective speeches In support of theprin
ciples of the National Democracy as repre
sented by Hancock aDd English.
At this hourjeleven o’clock) the enthusi
asm throughout the entire city i3 simply
immense, and the heauty of the whole
demonslration is that, ao perfect have been
all the arrangements, nothing has happened
to mar the triumph of the occasion.

Campaign Doiume.l-The Jury
Lint In Chatham County-The
Prosecution of Every Judge tn
Georgia Recommended—The Close
of the Campaign—The Colton In
terests— shrewd Clerk*.
Special Com esponaence of the Morning News.
Washington*, October 21.—The Republican
Congressional Committee is now using as
campaign document a screed that was gotten
up in Georgia daring Norwood’s contest for
the Governorship. It is entitled “Thd Con
vict’s Catechism," and bas an allege 1 picture
of a convict on the title page. Large numbers
of this precious document are being shipped
by the committee to the different States. Some
of these documents consist solely of the “cate
chism;” others have bound under the same
covers a separate chapter of lies and slanders
on “Home Rule in the Solid South.” L'ke
most independents. Mr. Norwood has succeeded
in but one thing—the furnishing of something
which the Republicans jump on and use. They
say at Republican headquarters that the “cate
chism” is one of their best campaign papers,
because nobody will doubt that it is true, as it
is written about Democratic rule “by a Demo
crat.”
Speaking of Republican campaign d.xru-
nients, there is another from Georgia, wiiich,
though not being circulated by the Republican
Committee, has found its way here in quite a
large number. You may have seen it already,
but, if you have not, I will quote a little from
it to show its character. The document is
neatly printeJ, dated Savannah. Ga.. October
7th, and i« addressed to “Fellow Citizens of
Georgia and the South ” It is signed by a man
who hides behind tbe initials “J. M. B if
tho«*e are i eaily his initials. Here is a speci
men of it:
“Under the Constitution of Georgia, jury
revisers were appo.nted to revise and select
competent persons to serve on the juries.
Who were these iury revisers? Capt. John F.
Wheaton, Col William R. Symons. Judge D.
A. (XByrne, Gen. Henry C. Wayne, and oth- rs.
! hey selected from the white men. William
Pollard, Esq, Albert Juck.ion and others
sele, te J the colored jurymen. When Mr. Pul-
lard and Jackson presented the names of the
colored citizens to be placed on the jury lists,
e. ymall C was placed on the card of each co'-
u voter, in order that the Judge could r!is-
li tguiah the colored voter from the white.
T names were all placed in the jury box.
■ nl then the Judge alone drew tne juries.
From term to term the jury box has been
exhausted, and no colored men's names
draicn."
And so It goes on; I content myself with the
follow ing rather communistic extract:
“ Each and every one of you go before a
United States Commissioner and prosecute
every Judge in Georgial—yes, prosecute every
one—do not allow one to escape. Indict them
tor perjury, for wilful perjury. Convict them
before tlm United States Courts 1 Call on

sent from their posts and using tbe power
intimidation, is there net a danger that the
will of the people cannot be enforced? This
danger grows every year, and even tbe Secre
tary of the Interior, the most honest of Repub
licans, addresses hi-nself to German citizens
and argues that busin-ss wdl suffer if new
hands try to guide the helm of State. I ask
you what is the natural result of such an ar
gument ? If it be true that men who have been
ten years in office increase in usefulness, then
it follows that the longer they remain in ofTce
the m >re useful they will prove themselves.
The real question is whether we have a strong
governm-nt or a weak people. I sm for a
strong people stronger than the government,
b'cause it wa; created by them. Long power
lias made the men of whom I speak intoxica
ted. Ex-Senator Dorsey, in speaking lauly of
United States Marshal Dudley, of Indiana, is
quoted as saying that. if necessary, he <Dud-
1-yi would not blush to make the s’reels of
Indianapolis run red with Mood. It is difficult
to read such language without indignation at
its insolence. Why should blood flow in the
streets of a peaceful city ? Whose blood is it
that shou’d ti >w ? For wha should it flow
and by whom should it be shed ? Such lan
guage means that the military power of the
United States is to be used to keep such men in
office, and that this is the feast of reaeon and
the flow of soul to which the American ci;izeu«
arc to be invited. Look at the incident which
transpired tfce other day when a man, pure,
honored, spotless, [cheers,] found his name as
sociated with crime and demanded to ki.ow
why. His acton for so doing may have been
unwise, for Wade Hampton needed no vindica
tor. [Renewed cheers ] But I ask you if you
had been in his place, what you would have
done when the insult affected the whole people
whom he represented? Men who launch these
insults are making a mistake. They are mis
taking the Republican party for the republic
itself. Fewer, like jealousy, grows with what
it feeds upon, and each day the power of which
I speak carries w ith it fresh dange r for our in-
s: itutions: for power is pow er, wherever placed,
be it in aristocrat, autocrat or democrat.
[Cheers.]
“After a President has been elected f ,r t< ur
years his power may become absolute. Even
with a Democratic majority in both hous- s», a
Republican President has lately overruled acU
of Congress with more arbitrary power than
has a King or Queen of Britain for the last one
hundred anl fifty years. What, then, is the
great safety valve to all this? That if we
choose wrongly we need only bear the rule for
a short time and then displace it. Revolt is
unnecessary, and only patience and the free
man’s vote are needed. But now where is our
safety if we are to be told that we cannot ap
proach the polls except by passing through
lines of bayonets? There is only one day on
which man is free, tbe day of election, and if
rot free th-u. he is a slave on ail the other
three hundred and sixty-four days of the jear.
Let us see to it, therefore, that elections are
free, and that power shall not stand between
ihe c eaturc and ihe creator, between the ruler
and the people. [Cheers ]

There are evidences that the great campaign
of 1880 is drawing to a close, it looks like the
last heat of a crack rae9 at Pimlico it is a
rush with every cord at a tension and the whip
given frequently. Both Democrats and Repub
licans are straining every nerve on the h me
stretch. Tlie close localities are being flooded
with the campaign literature of both par
ties. while the voice of the stumper is
heard, in the land. In the meantime the
quieter and more effective work Is being,to use
a vulgarism, “got in.”' The Republican party
is at trickery on every point. Evidences ot
this are furnished almost daily. Tne lat st
instance is the dispatches from Chairman
Jewell, sent by mistake of tlie Western Union
oflic3 in New York to Chairman Barnum. 31 r
Jewell telegraphed to the Collector of Customs
at Key Wes'. Fla , that repeaters had been
sent to Florida by three different steamers
There is no doubt that this thing is being done
at every point where the Republicans thin* they
have a chance of making them us-ful If the
people of Florida maintain the reputation they
nave abroad any number of repeaters sent
into the State by the Radicals wiil accomplish
nothing. The Democratic leaders are doing
effective an d honest work. They are letting no
opportunity escape for good that may be ac
complished. As to the general result they are
very hopeful. They predict success and o
repetition of the great surprise that Maine was
to the Republicans.
THE COTTON INTEREST.
General Drum in his annual rep
Chief Sigual Officer, says steps I
taken, after correspondence with the Cotton!
Exchanges of the South, looking to the estab
lishment of a large numlter of auxiliary sta
tions In the Colton belt to take rainfall and
temperature observations from April 1st to
October 1st of each year, for the information
of planters. This report of General Drum is!
rer the fiscal year ended June 3Jth last. He
has already taken the i relirr.inary steps look
ing to the establishment of the service men
ticned, and is meeting with great encourage
ment from all with whom lie has b«*en ia correal
spondence. He is only acting Signal Officer
pending the appointment of a successor to
General Myer. His idea in pushing thi« work
is to get it so far advanced berore Genera!
Myer’s successor is appointed that whoever
comes in cannot abandon it. p
SHREWD CLERKsj
Tfco clerks in tfce departments have again
been granted leaves ot absence to go home
and register for voting November 2L As
usual, they are not expected to return until
aft*»r the elections. Nearly all the clerks en
titled to vote have taken advantage of this
leave An officer of the Treasury Department
thought he saw a clerk who had been granted
K rmi&sion to go home to exercise his right of
Hot still in Washington. An investigation
bv secret service detectives was instituted, uml
the result has been the discovery of quite s|
large number of clerks who are taking advan
tage of the leave granted them, but have not
gone home to vote. They say they are not
able to stand the expense. Th«7 uaie been
ordered back to work and fc«*ve been reported

Hr. Batard, on stepping forward, was re

spoke substantially as follows: “I know when

have been at the p„st of duty, seeking how
best th,e wOumry can be governed iu jus
to all people, and if you ask me
‘Brother, how goes the fight»’ I answer, ‘It is
well.’ [Applause.] We are not rose-water or
holiday soldiers, to be daunted by reverse or
overjoyed by victory, and we have had both of
these. In Maine we had an unexpected victo
ry, which wa3 a death-blow to the ring that
long has ruled there. In Indiana we met with
a repulse, but it had to be borne as was the
victory. What does it mean? Can you spell
Haaeock by the letters of Landers' name* On

It seems to me that the Democratic party has
been following tbe system of Chinese warfare
la the sounding of gongs and other instruments
which I would not mention in the presence of
this re-pectable audience. [Laughter] In
1876, of the voUs for Mr. Tilden, ihere were
counted 184, not of the votes for Mr
Hayes, but for him there ware counted 18.i Of
these there were ti for Louisiana, 4 for Florida
and 6 for South Carolina, but does any one sup
pose that these 18 votes w ill be cast for Gar
field and Arthur. [Cries of ‘No ’] If those are
cast for Hancock he is elected, and if e'ected
he will take his seat. [Cheers.] California will
poll six vote- for Hancock, Nevada three. Ore-
gen three, and in Maine we will receive either
three or seven, although three will be sufficient
And yet, although courage and faith are our
watchwoitls, we have some dangers to meet
In 1801. when the election of Jefferson was cast

it was difficult to bring about an election at»•*
A war, which had impoverished the count™

wh.ch was then Bu feeble, has grown until it
now ;omn suqh a prize that the question arises

call to our minds tbe idea on which our gov-

tnbuted in small modicums, and besides that
it was agreed that no power should be perpet

.nat the power given to any official thould
never be used by him as a steppinggtoue to
his ambition, or as an aid to the continuation

over the nat.on i W hy did not Mr. TiUlen get

the ruling idea in which was sectional jeah usy
and animosity? The sufferings of fifteen
States of tlm Upion were pictured with
glee. If they afere uneducated, that fact
was dwelt upon with pleasure: if they
were poor, he gloated over it and found c in
solation in their misery. Lesser lights eched
this sentiment until the election in Maiue, when
They were taught that this animosity was, to
use a common expression, ‘played out ’ Then
a new chord was struck--the danger of lank-
ruetcy to the treasury and the fear that Ban
cock would approve Southern war o'ahns.
This was disposed of. and then «*atae the cry as
to imperilling the busipo a interests of the
country', a cry in which th« ir chronology was
utterly at rautt. The country did not recover
rrom the panic of 1873 until there was a Demo
cratic majority in Congress, and United States
bonds were never quoted at four per cent, un
til the majority in both houses was Democrat

r v 1 T*^** on °f tariff has been made the
root ball ot party passion. The tariff is a tax.
and a tax is the power that takes from man
Ins property for public us*s. The
worst foe of the American manufacturer or
laborer is the man who brings the tariff ques
tion into the vortex of political discussion
We have to-day, in a time of peace, a war

of nearly half the States in the Union, and we
must restore the relations of each State to the
conditions which existed in them before the
war. Ido not know hew far this busines.
scare about the tariff has gone, but wish U
express my sens;; of the importance of adjust
ing the system of Fulcra! taxation to the
rights of every St^te in the Union. In l e ‘i.
South Carolina wanted to go out of the Union
on account oi a sense of injustice growing out
of an arbitrary law ot taxation. It is not right
thus to give offense; and if the government i
to stand on its true basis—the hearts of tli*-
peop’e— it cannot be founded on injusti *e
to any man. Some one has profoundly
remarked that there is a great dea:
of human nature in man. Ho is <t com
polite animal or person, who has his feelings,
affections and resentments, and the man
who wishes to govern well must gain
rtio hearts of the people. I arraign tbe Repub
lican party as having deliberately conducted a
crusade of contumely and ridicule against the
Southern States. Justice to tbe South is self
protection to the North. [Cheers } More
than tariffs we need to rebuke the man who
seeks to grow stronger by the weakness of any
people. No man, more than the man whom
we have nominated, better typifies the idea
that a man. o'ad in an American uniform, no
matter what may be his rank, never ceases to
be a citizeD. subject to constitutional law
That man seeks to reform tbo Union by love
and good-will, and hi3 courage and kindness
have cantur.;d tue hearts of the South. We
are no; in a temper to deal with each other so
long as we are apprehensive and jealous in
spirit. W’h^n I see the banner of Garfield I
read on it the name of Grant, (laughter;] and ]

silence, who could never Mnd words to convey

Whoxu he knows he slanders? Let us not de
crive ourselves. There is no magic in the
word republic. A mere coup d'etat, such as
France has seen, may never come to us; but
surely and steadily the time may come when
the nation, like Franc?, may go down in cor-
raption. Forces not obvious are sometimes
difficult to meet, and I oan see a spirit of ofd
