FEW & MEIOWEATHER. Civil wars, &r more than foreign wars, Produce chiefs who are elevated to the highest civil positions. The successful fac tion is certain to. make a civil head of its military leader. These military chiefs rare ly possess the qualifications necessary for rivfl administration of free institutions. Free governments are always more compli cated than monarchies, and, therefore, re quire higher qualificationsifor wise admin istration. I do not care how honest or how . ich .military.ei: ; r.uy be, yet, not htmng the training anil qualifications ncedetl for dvil statesmanship, they are certain to be surrounded and controlled l>y designing followers end flatters, who will gather thickly about them, and corruption will as oertaiuly, as naturally, and as log ically follow as any effect will follow its cause In ail free countries parties will be formed. In «na:iy respects these parties are salutary; but whenever the questions become sectional and the parties form on sectional issues, the tendency is to dvil war. This has been our fate, and, I fear will be our ruin. The Republican party organized in 1855 _ to accomplish certain distinct objects, to-wit: ^ 1. To prevent the extension of slavery. 2. : To abolish slavery in all places of ex- clurive federal jurisdiction. 3. To annul the fugitive slave law. The Supreme Courts of the United States decided that Congress had no power to pro hibit the extension of slavery, and that the fugitive slave law was unconstitutional. So t he Republican party was a sectional organization on sectional questions and in op|Kwition to the supreme law. The Southern people insisted that this was a practical abandonment of the Consti tution, and released them Irom its obligation. They most unwisely seceded, and the war most unwisely followed. During the war the Republican party anged its objects, and insisted on the total extinction of slavery. Three men, well armed, well fed. aud well clothed, were too much physically,. for one man, poorly armed, poorly clothed, and, after a brave struggle, the South yielded, abandoned secession, and every Southern States abolish ed slavery by constitutional provisions. The Republican party then made another change of positinu and insisted that they had a right to reconstruct the Southern States, create in them new constituencies and new governments, and also to secure the result* of the war by new amendments to the Federal Constitution... All this has been done—much of it terribly done V Njw, what is left for the Republican party to do ? It hs» forced the -accomplish ment of all its work. The Southern people give np slavery, give up secession, submit to reconstruction, and accept the Constitution as amended, and yet the Republican party will neither abandon its sectional organiza tion nor cease its sectional war upon the Southern people Upon what does the Republican party propose to live? Upon nothing but sec tional hate/ How can it keep alive sectional hate? Solely by bold and persistent mis representations of the Southern people, and by perpetual appeals to the passions of the war! There are three hundred thousand people who are crazy to hold and get office in 1876 through the Republican {tarty,* and they have no hope of success except by keeping alive sectional hate by misrepresenting, maligning, and oppressing the Southern people! A Southern Representative cannot say anything in Congress which is not instantly misrepresented by a thousand lying pens and tongues from this dt v. I 'NEVER IN MY LIFE FELT OR irttfeRED A DIS UNION SENTIMENT. I opposed seces sion a* no Northern man ever did, for I tvaa in the midst of the storm. I opposed, also, subjugation and reconstruction as but other forms of disunion, and as tending to destroy our freo institutions. Subjugation and reconstruction were as dangerous to the principles of union as was secession to the fact of union, and I have simply been au earnest enemy to disunion in any form. And.it does seem impossible for a Republi can writer or speaker to tell the truth of one even so humble as myself. I have made one speech in Congress—forced to do so in defence of the manhood of my people. _ I made tho defence chiefly from the official records Perhaps no speech has ever, so brought oni the bitterness of mis representation in tbe press and leaders ot Uie Republican party. They have not only mutilated and garbled the speech, but they have filled their papers with the most un mitigated falsehoods as to my life, habits, character, and antecedents. I have seen circumstantial details purporting to come from personal acquaintances, and even quo tation* from letters and speeches, which had hot the slightest existence. But these things do not surprise me. Indeed, I should bo surprised if these falso- hoods were uot frequent, and unscrupulous, and often from men in high places. They prove the correctness of my theory of the present and future of the Republican party. I maintain that that party has accomplished all the jvork.it wss organized to> accomplish, and riaparty can live, after its work is done, aud; not' become corrupt.' No successful party in a dvil war can administer:free in stitutions on the paeons of the war, and after the war has euded, and not destroy the liberalities of the people. No party is entitled to be trusted with power for what it has done. The only title a party can have to be trusted mutt rest in what it proposes to do. The Democratic party is now only entitled to twist^beeanse events and the nature of existing issues compel it to antagonize the Republican party, and thus necessarily to become the party of retrenchment, reform, and sectional recon ciliation. No truly great statesman can re main in the Republican party, for the plain reason that its work is in the past, and not in the future. You inight :ts well expect a man to satisfy his hunger and support his system on the memories of past feasts, as to expect a statesman to lead a party ant. maintain the prosperity of Ins country on remain in the Republican party. I am watching to see who, in defence of his self- respect, will leave it next. They will be Compelled to ga Thieves and demagogues are taking natural, logical, possesaoti of the Republican party, riot to accomplish great works, but to have a general carousal. They will drive statesmen and patriots ont of it, as decent, virtuous women would be driven out of a house which had become a brothel. If, under such leaders as will re main, the Republican party shall so influence the passions of the people as to renew its lease of power, it will bring disgrace on its past history as certainly as the passing of events, and it will be a miracle if, in the riot that most follow, our Republican sys tem shall not perish. • Never had any people such a test of their capacity for self-government as the Ameri can people will have in 1876. They will lie crammed with reckless falsehood* and plied with appeals for sectional bate, as never before disgraced any year in human history. Will they he' able to detect, resist, and despise these assaults upon their intelli gence, patriotism, and virtue? If so, we shall live on as a free people, and prosper as no people ever did. If not, we shall die in more shame and disgrace than ever befel a republic. With high regard, I aray ours truly, Bekj. H. Hill. AI RIL FOOL’S DAY. Reveries from the New York Son. THE DAY IS PAST BUT THE FOOLS ABE HEBE. We cannot better celebrate this day dedi cated to fools and folly, than by considerin'! some of the principal frauds, humbugs, charlatans, hypocrites and fools who infest the country, and dwelling for a moment on their history and prospects. They are a large and thoroughly self-satisfied company, recruited from various ranks of society, and armed with impudence, pretension, rant, or simple stupidity. They like to he ohserved, and entertain a low opinion of those who criticise them. They think they ought to be permitted to practice their trade unmolested by ira|>ertinent scrutinize!* of their shoddy materials, short weights, and other tricks of deception. To-day let us celebrate the glo ries of this enterprising company, carefully abstaining from any word or suggestion to which they can fairly take exception. First, we must speak of Ulysses S. Grant, the brother of Orvil L. Grant, and his part ner iu the trader and sutler business. Grant cannot strictly be called n fraud. He is not that by any means. Hi* practice of greed is open, and he believe* in it. Occe of the very lowest estate, a social wreck and fail ure, he was lifted by a bloody war to the high ground of eminent |>nsitioii where all men could see him. If ever a man had rea son to be thankful for the happy fortune which enabled him to get out of the mire pud to stand in dean places, surely it was Grant. But what did he do when he wa* put in high place ? He at once proceeded to' lefile it with the filth of the place whence he RIP-RAP.v Twenty cents on wind they State government*.
