He never faltered non grew weary in the work, either, hut was always ready with heart, and hand, and brain and purse, to prove his devotion As husband and father, there was scarce jy His equal anywhere.

May the eartli ever rest lightly upon the ashes of oue whose loss to his family, his friends, his State, and his country, eaunot now be properly estimat ed or expressed in words ! THE ( OMiHKKHIOWL ELECTIONS. It seems that there will not be any Con gressional elections in this Htate till Feb ruary. At least many newspapers say so, and the Democratic Convention in the Fifth District acting upon that supposi tion, adjourned on Thursday, without making any nomination. We have not seen in our reading of the proceediugsof the Legislature any defln ite and concurrent action to this effect. Presuming it to be true, however, we can only dissent from its wisdom, and regret that it is so. There were reasons, plenti ful as blackberries, why we should have made one job of this whole election busi ness in November—not one that struck us with any force why we should not. There will be the strife, and excitement, and de rangement of business, and labor, and the drinking and quarreling, and the idle, strolling, vagabond negroes to be endured in February, before the stomach recovers from the November debauch. It may have a very serious effect, too, upon the chances of success in certain Districts. The Legislature has not acted wisely, at all in this matter, judged with reference either to its efieet upon the best interests of the State, or perhaps upon the LfprtuimM4j{ the party whose ascendancy is o«&Knry to its well-being.

OF THE BAYONET. BWom the language of Generali published on Saturday, that! be * nt *®MJ* hike charge of Georgia ballot! 3d of November, notwitli the fact that the State has been —we believe that’s the word— to the Union. We do not understand by what authority he thrusts his bayonets into the faeeß of freemen, now, and after such an insolent fashion, except upon the infamous Radical plea of might, and be cause its need is so great that a fair election must not be had. One thing we do understand, though, and that is that every Democrat in the State intends to vote. They intend, too, to carry Georgia by at least ten thousand majority for Seymour. If he desires to prevent that result, lie had better make a requisition £ ouce upon Lis master m Washington^* - more troops. The hand ful he has tfrlared to be distributed about iu the State eau’t do the job. If, as he announces, lie does not intend to be “re strained by technicalities of law,” neither will those whom he seeks to bully, be re strained from to maintain their rights. do not mean any me nace, nor would we be so understood. We simply wish to announce a determination that we know our people have formed, and which it is not only their right, but their bounden duty to make good. > Gen. Meade’s smooth words deceive | We have heard them before, to |.Y fair election, in .his parlance, mean I [cheating registrars and managers of elo | [lions; Democrats k£pt from the polls; [negroes iu full possession; and of course a [Radical triumph. The time for that sort ■of thing has played Meade. ■ You had as well it now later. ALL PAPERS PLEASE COPY. All who lost friends at Elmira Prison during the war, and wish to get informa tion respecting tbeir bodies, the chances and charges for removing, etc., can do so by addressing Mr. R. A. Harrison, of Sparta, Georgia, at Elmira, New York. Mr. H. went North last winter to look after the bodies of prisoners, and goes now to remove them. At Elmira Cemetery, he noticed that most, perhaps all the Southern States are represented, aud knowing from pressing inquiries received, that many would glad ly hear respecting the bodies of friends, he promises to answer all letters aud inquries which may be sent to him, at Elmira, by the 15th of October. He is making special arrangements with railroads and trans portation companies, and will be prepar ed, on arriving at Elmira, to let those in tvrc&tt.><J know the least cost for removing; a body. Mr. Harrison makes no charges ror ms services, ana will be glad to assist in removing Confederate dead from Elmi ra. The graves are well marked, and dead bodies can be identified. Persons will please enclose a stamp to pay return post age. All railroads, transportation companies, and others granting favors, will be liber ally noticed by the Southern Press. [ Knoxville Press. Explained.— lt is a cause for head shaking and long faces among some, that the Radicals carried more towns than the Democrats, at the late election in Connec ticut. We have a word or two of expla nation and comfort for them.

( • I Infamous Advice.—That notorious and] ■infamous specimen of the gepus ckrpet-l ■ hugger, Bryant, from ■present at the ■held in this cUc. out that Lgijj “participate in its de ■RmnnkytMp"TWPWesuppose Bryant’s being IRmsnWml as good as a negro, gained him ■admittance. Being admitted, of course he |-ipoke. The matter of his speech may be ■judged of from one or two expressions lused, aud certain advice given. Said he, ■in speaking of Democrats : “I tell you not [to consider, or treat any man, white or [black, who is a Democrat, as a gentleman; and if any of the white livered scoundrels come whining around you on election day with suggestions or advice as to how you should vote, knock their teeth down their throats.” And yet this is not a country of free speech for such and worse villains! The people of the North this day believe that a Radical cannot open his lips in any South ern town or city without danger of his life. It should be so for such men as this miserable incendiary, but fortunately for them it is not. “Phat Takes.” —The office of Inter nal Revenue Collector in this State is well expressed by the above term, so fa miliar to printers. When Mr. Mcßurney gets tired of his office, we would not mind trying it for a “spell.” From the Rlue book for 1868-9, we learn that the salary of the Collector for the Second District is $11,914; for the Third District, $10,713; and for the Fourth District, $19,838. Welcome!— The Savannah Republican reached us last night enlarged by the ad dition of one column to each page, with many typographical changes andimprove ments, aud looking as handsome as its face did in its palmiest days. Mr. Sneed greets its patrons and his old-tiino friends in this issue with a few well-chosen words, from which we make the following ex tracts. We say again, and right heartily, to him : Well done, and the fullest mea sure of success: The ItejuMicati, under my future direction, shall not be a political journal in' the party sense of that term. In politics, as in all things else, it will he in-' dependent, and the representative of truth and the public good, as they appear to the mind of the edi tor. A restoration of the Union upon the principles of justice and equal rights—the only cement that dan bind it together as a harmonious and permanent whole—will be the end and aim of my political la bors. A constitutional U nion, with the rights of all the States unimpaired, and the liberty of the citi zen held saered, as contradistinguished from arbi trary government, and the concentration of all power in the Federal arm, shall be taken as my polar star in the present and all future struggles. The political party that shall represent these views, and is pledged to give them a practical effect, by whatsoever name it may be known, and without reference to the past, will be considered the cham pion of popular rights aud free institutions, and as such command my cordial approval and best efforts for its success. Railroad Business.— The various lines of rail road leading to the city are doing a tine busiucss In trade and travel. They are rapidly bringing for ward aud carrying away the cotton crop of 1808 and bringing the planter upon his regular fall visit to the city to look alter its sale, pay off his indebt edness to the Factor and merchaut, and, aftei squaring up his account, to make purchases of such plantation another supplies as may be neccessa r> . tVragit 1 them to our city, and hope they "ill tl.eir ancient attachment for it.

THE PEACE OF DESPOTISM. From the New York Journal of Commerce, Oct. Jd.jg There is a peace that is worse than nol peace. It is the peace of despotism. It isl bad for the ruled, aud, when the whirligig! of time briugs about its revenges, it is bad! for the rulers also. The peace that despot-■ ism effects is uo peace, but only suppressed! 1 rebellion. It is Samson hound, out still! possessing the latent strength to pull down! emples. Napoleon preserves a faultless! and lovely peace—viewed outwardly—by! the aid of a million and a quarter of breech-l loaders; and there are shrewd surmises! that bis object in raising this immense! force was to keep down the elastic un-l springing Frvueli jnjoj.i*. us inucljl „„ i« ~«■>, t the Prussians. Our national good friend, the Czar, maintains a serene death-in-life in his Polish provinces by planting bis bilge mailed foot squarely on the breast of Polish liberty. In Austria, while the Kaiser is paying complimentary visits to nearly all parts of his mongrel empire, and throwing himself on the bosom of bis people, he keeps his ranks full, aud is ready to trample out the lirst spark of revolution that shows itself. All these governments—and that of Turkey, too, which should not he omitted iu the roll-call of European despotism—never cease to felicitate themselves on the peace which reigns within their borders. So did the King of Naples boast of tiie com plete subjection into which lie had forced itis people, until one day they rose, aud with Garibaldi’s aid, drove him into per petual exile. The Queen of Spain bas| tlattered herself several times on the pacific] state of her kingdom. She has thought] that by powerful armies and navies, that] she could suppress the spirit of liberty] which is inextinguishable iu the Spanish] breast. The miserable experience of re-| peated revolutions, which have bare)y| missed success, could not rid her narrow] mind of this delusion. To-day she is pay-] ing the penalty of her mistake by the loss] of her throne. Thus powerful ami terrible] are the agencies for mischief which mon-j archs only foster into strength and action when they put standing armies iu every province, and call the deceptive quiet by the mocking name of peace. That is not peace which is preserved by standing armies. It is really war—war iu all that is deadly toiudustry and enterprise, to the free scope of human endeavor—but war without the few compensating qualities of patriotism, national enthusiasm and ex alted courage. In the revolutions which burst forth aud sweep away the incubus of standing armies from the breast of na tions, and substitute real war for its base counterfeit called peace, is the only hope of human progress agaiust tyranny. Heaven save us from a peace of despot ism in this country. Such a peace could he had temporarily all through the South by quartering enough thousands of troops there. It is only a question of men, can non and muskets. There is nothing different between human ■MMMP United States (especially Pfw.atfilaMH we have had of recent ■“fetronggovernments”) and human beings masses of soldiery ■could icans down as well aw ■ Frenchmen, dt ■troops might be reqiffred to do it, but it ■could he done—temporarily. The experi ■ence U*&UMMk£* v< *'bie. of military govern- out of us whatever con -129 we have oa tliat BU bject. This fact of i BflUiJi results Hw chief soTtrce of our present dagger. A1 HBty which believes in strong gov-| m centralized administration,! Bad opting the very lan-l ■guage familiar to European tyrants fori ■centuries past, might easily be led to insti-J Btute the experiment on a greaterscale thu.nl Alias hitheKtju beeiLj,tfempteil here. If ne-l Hgro suffrage, negro suprem-j Hacy, wo joay call it, is persisted! Bin as the omnaatnm to the South, and i»| rested by tiie whites of that] wVegiorv, natural for a “strong! to secure “peace” and] ■torpid acquiescence in Government policy] Bby the means of bayonets ? To some ex-| tent this has been done already ; but not to the extent to which we now refer as among the possibilities of the future. If Louis Napoleon finds it much easier and pleasanter to overawe the discontents by his repressive military system than to placate them by a kind and moderate civil policy, why should not the “strong Gov ernment” here do the same thing? The temptations—the great prizes to be gained —are the same iu both cases. Napoleon keeps himself on the throne by his stand ing army. A party which was unscrupu lous enough to resort to the same means in this country, to the same extent that he does, could secure itself, fora long time, a continuance of power. It is because tlie opportunity to do this is so inviting—and, stranger still because so many thousands of American citizens are so warped in all their ideas of real liberty and its blessings —that we are obliged to look the contin gency iu the face. The only* security against an event so fatal to the republic is to bring about peacefully a change in the present policy of the Government towards the South. The scheme of forcing unqualified negro suffrage on the South, while it is refused by the people oijtbe North, must be aban doned. It is illogical, unjust, totally un tenable. The Southern whites should not feel that they are invidiously discriminated against, but should be treated In a spirit of kindness and magnanimity, instead of suspicion and distrust. The military power and the Freedman’s Bureau should gradually be withdrawn, and the South be left at an early day to stand alone, on the same footing and with the same dignity as tiie other States of the Union. If the Southern States are not competent to gov ern themselves, if they violate the Con stitution and tlie laws of the United States, then a Radical majority in Congress will tiave some show of reason better than the present for coercing the South. Until this experiment has been fairly made and proved to be a failure—as it has not yet been we shall not cease to regard the Government policy towards the South ns unnecessary, unwise, and fraught with still greater dangers to the republic. .Meeting ol' the Macon Bar.

Negro Sui-kkstition.—As soon as tlie execution was over last Friday there were many applications for bits of tlie ropes by colored people present One man said he wanted a piece long enough to go around the neck, that lie had a son who had fits and that tying a piece of a hangman’s rope around his boy’s neck would cure him. When receivin', it lie expressed great gratification, firmly believing he bad secured an infallible remedy. The ropes were all then cut into little pieces and given out as mementoes, guards against witches, for luck, and for various other reasons,_all the veriest supers titiou.

Black, m!*ir garnet are usu ally chosen, though on colored hats they should he of the same shade. Tbe algrete is indispensable on a fashionable hat—a little tuft of skeleton tlbres starting from a small curled plume giving a spirited touch to hat trimmings. Less satin is used on hats ; it principally servdk for facingand piping. The mantil la vali is still part of the honnetand worn longer than ever. The scarf vail, braids of quilted lace, and bread lace strings, are also seen on elegant hats. Thread vails are square, and long enough to fall below the chin. It has been mentioned in these articles before that the lace embroidered in colors is simply vulgar. Evening bonnets are of white uncut velvet or laoc, with velvet folds, aud are seldom seen without the large mantilla of |white Spanish lace wrought with lioss in [large figures, stars, wHeat ears, sprays of |tlowers and ferns, with border of rich, ■sparkling, white blonde.

The Bergen is a pretty shape for all—a low, round hat, with no defined brim, covered with circles of quilled black lace, Ihe edge bound with crimson velvet, and a velvet spray of field-vine and berries, the same color lying carelessly on the almost level top. A jet pin at the hack, and brides of quilled lace and velvet, finish this graceful affair, which would be pretty with any color.

The Norma hat is distinguishable by its flying down the hack, the side corners folded hack en revers to display the rich edge. The hat is something of the Marie Antoinette shape, and the outside is trimmed with a large rose and dull foliage From Petiguy-Meurisse, East Ninth St ’ The new styles of gloves are out, the fruit of much thought on the part of the energetic and thorough personage who su perintends the design of all Alexandre’s gloves, which, by the way, are all shipped to Stewart’s, not a pair of that brand being found in England for sale. The shades fashionable for morning w'ear are lilac stope, reddish brown, opposed to the snuff-browns worn before, and Sultan. Persons of delicate taste will choose the titst color; the bright red gloves border ing on the eccentric, though oue grows used to anything in time. The ordinary length of glove wilh two buttons has eight studs on tiie hack, and tlie embroidery line on the back runs between them The cord aud tassel laces once in the centre of studs. A longer wristed glove has twelve studs, aud is welted with white. Anew lasteuing has been irveuted for which glove wearers will be grateful, a moveable stud, or stud with chain and anchor, which will outlast maay pairs of gloves, and graduates itself t» uuy fit. Tljese fastenings are silvered and cost 50 cents a pair. Among the usual shades for visitiDg gloves, designed to natch suitH, are the red tan, blue purple, aone-drab and dark green. Evening shades are straw color and cream. Cashmere or cloth gloves are of good quality aud extra lit this season, and are almost as nice as kid glove, the price is nearly as high too. Stone colors are em broidered on the hack fitted with studs and volants on the mist-like duchesse gloves. A warm mixed gray glove has laced hack, and scarletor purple cuff trim mings, and wrists as deep as tuousquetaire gloves. The price of these fine woo) gloves ranges from iufants’ sizes at $1 10 to ladies’ at $1 35 aud $1 50. The neckties in vogue for gentlemen are the plain and striped Windsor—diagonal striped; scarfs, square, crossed and pin ned ; the Dane, a large folded scarf, folded in knot and pinned, with string to pass round the neck; narrow ties iu stripes and spots, Scotch and Turkish stripes and plaids, and the large white spotted blue ties. Sleeve-buttons are of square stones, or dogs’ or hordes’ heads of large size iu oxydized silver; large English initials in tiie latter metal are also worn. Charms for the watch-guard are small lockets with crystal face; 011 pressing a spring a rou lette ball, diceor roujjeetnoir flies in sight, spins round and stops; complete games can lie carried thus at the guard-chain.

"LET Is HAVE PE.WE.” Arrival of 4,02 $ Stands of Arms for the Radical Loyal Leagues of Arkansas— m Char % °f Tw <> Notorious (ah pet - Luggers— Packets Refuse to Re ceive Them. r l he Memphis Avalance, of the 27th says: In Saturday’s Avalanche we mentioned the mysterious shipment, from the North for Arkansas, of several thousand stand of arms. The announcement excited no lit tle comment, and their arrival at this port was awaited with considerable interest. Yesterday the boxes—l 67 in number, and containing 4,028 stands of arms—reached here on the Belle Memphis. They were in charge of a notorious carjiet-bagger named Wm. Hodges, Arkansas peniten tiary contractor, and a bird of the Clayton feather. Tiie boxes were consigned to “E. G. Exon,” since ascertained to tie either a myth, or a pass word of the Loyal League, and it was the intention of tiie sanguinary Hodges to re-ship them on the Liberty No. 2 for Duvall’s Bluff this evening. Hodges was accompanied by one Mc- Donald, Radical United States Senator from Arkansas. McDonald keeps a one horse hank in Little Rock, and ownsstock in a couple of packets. It is stated that lit procured the arms in the North, aud ship ped them, Hodges taking charge at St Louis. During the trip from St. Louis both were quite reticent relative to the contents of the boxes, declining to furnish any information concerning them. No information could be obtained from them yesterday. Whether these Radical peace makers will speedily reach their destination is not clear. No steamer in port would receive them yesterday evening. The White river packet line the Des Arc, and the Arkansas river packet Ozark refused to accept tiie boxes, which were piled late last night on the levee guarded by a de tachment of police. Everything connected with this matter is suspicious. The arms were not ordered by or shipped to the United States or State Government authorities in Arkansas. There is no such person in Little Rock as “Exon,” the reputed consignee. The fact that Hodges and McDonald are engineer ing the matter is more suspicious than all else. For our own part we have no doubt as to their destination. The liadicals are playing a game emboldened by desperation in Arkansas. They feel that the people are turning against them, and that their power can be | erpetuated only by intimi dation or violeuce. These arms are un doubtedly designed for the use of the Loyal Leagues, in which McDonald, Hodges <& Cos., are prominent. It is proposed to hold Arkansas in the ltadical interest by bloodshed, if necessary. Last night Mc- Donald, was endeavoring to procure ship ment for the arms on the Ozark. It was not thought probable that he would succeed. What more natural than that sentimen tal young ladies when they get married should cease to be pensive and get expen sive ?

There are a few beautiful meadows producing a line, rich blue grass which is called herds grass. This grass, however, abounds In the coves and rich plats upon the mountain ridges, and it is upon grass that, upon the mountains, the cattle (the chief article for trade) thrive and fatten during nine months of the year, and sheep the year round. The farmer’s first ambi tion is to raise corn and oats sufficient to winter his cattle, and hogs and horses during the winter mouths. His next effort is to produce the needful supplies for his family. The sale of his cattle gives him whatever he may choose from abroad. His sheep furnishes wool foi the warm, durable “butternut’’ suits, (which war correspondents have made ■ widely known as distinguishing these ■ hardy mountaineers in the late war. ■Around each mountain home you will ■always see plenty of chickeus, ducks, ■geese and turkeys, and he has al ways an ■ample supply of haeon for the year, in a ■drove* of hogs in the mountain, range, ■thriving upon chestnuts and other “masts” ■until lie needs thepi. There are al ■ways plenty hee gums by the garden ■ fence and plenty of splendid cabbages and ■rich “Fall beans” and onions within the ■garden at this season, and you will seldom ■fail to see a large sweet potatoe patch, a ■ large Irish potatoe patch, a Korghum or Wfmphejj patch, a tobacco patch and a ■nourishing apple orchard. The growth ■of apples heretofore has been relied upon Bus furnishing when distilled, an article ■ for export next to cattle, the proceeds of ■ which is brought hack in sugar, coffee, ■salt and Iron, and like articles for con I fsumption. But the heavy excise uponl and the products of tiie stilij •flias destroyed this resource, inasmuch asl small dtetitiers are unable to pay the taxi ■ imposed, as it amounts to lucre than thej ■ products of the still would sell for In mar-l ■ ket. The consequence is, hundreds o! ySbushels of beautiful apples now lie rolling ■upon the ground. I witnessed, a few days] ■since, the sale of an entire crop, estimated jig at three hundred bushels, at 8 cents per ■ bushel. ks The most of tiie trade of this section and ■tiie adjacent parts of North Carolina and Tennessee finds an outlet by the BlutJ Ridge Hoad, meeting it at Walhalla, thej present terminus of the road In Southl ('arolina. For a longtime their market] was Augusta, reaching it through Athens,] the eastern terminus of the Georgia ltail ] road. A considerable amount still find-] its way to Athens, but the built, determ | ined by cheaper freights and greater con I venience, goes to Waihalla, although the] [people, so far as I have observed, prefer! their old trading |M>ints.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. l’omeroy left the city to till engagements on the stump in tiie interior, and has played us a nice trick.

He says Pomerov in red in mto grind it till his return. If he will hasten hack, we’ll pay the hill and call it quits. A Dilemma.—A young parson of the Universalist faith, many years since, when the Simon pure Uuiversaiism was preach ed, started westward to attend a conven tion of ids brethren in the faith. He took the precaution to carry a vial of Cayenne in his pocket to sprinkle his food with as a preventative to fever anil ague. The con vention met; and at dinner a tall Hoosier oherved the parson as he seasoned the meat, and addressed him thus: “Stranger, I’ll thank you for a leetle of that ’ere red salt for I am kind o’ curious to try it.” “Certainly,” replied the parson, “hut you will find it very powerful; be careful how- you use It.” The Hoosier took the proffered vial, and feeling himself proof against the quantity of raw whiskey, thought that he could stand the “red salt” with impunity, and accordingly sprinkled a Junk of beef rath er bountifully with it and forthwith intro duced it Into his capacious mouth It soou began to take hold. He shut Ids eyes, and his features began to writhe, denoting a very (inharmonious condition physically. Finally he codkl stand it no longer. He opeuedbis mouth and scream ed lire. “Take a drink of cold water from the jug,” said the parson. “Will that put it out?” asked the mar tyr, suiting the action to the word. In a short time the unfortunate man began to recover, and turning to the parson, his eyes yet swimming in water, exclaimed : “Stranger you call yourself a ’Varsellist, I believe?” “I do,” mildly answered the parson. “ Wal, I want to know if you think it is consistent with your belief to go about with hell-fire iu your breeches pocket ?” The Worm. —The caterpillar is web-l lung and disappearing iu this county.

To the Editor of the llcrahl: In tiie Herald of this morning is an article Head ed “.Southern Democratic Leaders in New York,” and among the number my own name in mentioned. Allow me, first of all, to say I am no party leader; never have been, never ex pect to he. Allow me, iu the next place, to say that 1 did not come to New York to “drink wine or eat fine dinners,” and have not been so engaged. I came North to ascertain,-if 1 conld, the exact tern per, views and purposes of the! Northern people and the probable result [of tiie [Kdillcal contest now being waged |lo one who lias studied find learned to [admire the system of American govern [meul, Federal and Btale, limited and re- Iseiviti with harmonious boundaries fixed if,,r each yCitliAjpk iußfltfert I'.he examination lias not been encourag ling. I htiaken to its foundation by a criminal (war occasioned by a fanatical discussion (about the rights and capacities of some (-avages imported as chattels lor specula tion from the jungles of Africa, the ques tion now is, whether these savages, being (now confessedly free and certainly great |ly improved by Southern masters, this (great system of government can again he |?nade harmoniously stable and the free liom of the white race maintained and ol |ii I races perpetuated ? I I find the Republicans meeting this (great question by proposing to “maintain land perpetuate” measures which are “out- Lhle of the Conatitutiou,” which avowed lly seek to disfranchise and degrade white Ifieople for no reason but that of a vindic ative hatred of section against section, and |»nd which pretend, in the most unnatural ■way, to elevate the negro by leading him, ■ignorant and credulous, promisingly to ■“quality, hut really to ruin, as the butcher ■tempt- with his bundle of hay deluded |-beep to I he slaughter pen. | 1 find the Democrats meeting this most [palpable insanity of tiie Republicans by [exhausting all their powers upon a cent [per cent argument about bonds, gold and [greenbacks. I find tiie capitalists more [insane than the political leaders, taking [-idetf w ith tiie Republicans in this issue, [and are lavishly spending their means to [maintain and perpetuate measures which J-übvert the government and destroy the [industrial energies of the country in ordjp [to make tile government stable and [resources ample to pay their bonds.

[Amid ah this Rabel dSgeird of political [and moral confusion of tlppQiof’therii peo ple, I find but few who e- to remember [that there is a written Coß»titution v and [that those who are administer [it must be sworn “tosupix*#, protect and [defend it.” It is most significant that iu (lie whole Chicago platform and the lat hers of acceptance from the nominees Luyiwvu tillsConstitußon ia’not mentioned [nor even to. Its builder- remem pered tbtre was a negro, but forgot there [was a Constitution. I have heard and [read long speeches from notorious (called [distinguished) political leaders who, I [do believe, have never so much as read [the Constitution, and most certainly have biot read its history understood its [meaning. abandoned tiie Consti h»: *§V #*jWTre i.Ji'i'g lorn and religion. Nothing in thuwNorth —not even its great ciWesaud wonderful material developments— stand out so prominently to view as this startling truth. If the lljjfiou can be cordially restored [and the Resources of the country thereby tee developed, this government will be able Wfpay the existing debt, dVeu if three [times as great as reported, fa this con |ti agency there need be noLdebate as to [whether the debt shall he pad In curren cy or gold, for then the credß of the gov ernment will be restored JKI currency will he equal to gold. If the Union cannot be gordially res tored and the resources of-'the country thereby permitted to be dev *bped, the ex isting debt will not he p.iln : nay, not even ten cents on the dollar,■Dor in that event the resources of the will be consumed in a process of subrorling the government, and some other gotornment which did not contract the debt wTH take its* place either in the form of a red repub lican anarchy or a military dictatorship. How can the Union be cordially restored? By returning to the constitution. How will the government he subverted? By the American people deciding to “main tain and perpetuate” a jxiiicy outside of the constitution. Inside of the constitution a Union, freedom, increased prosperity, restored credit and bonds payable. Out side the constitution Union, freedom, prosperity and credit wiil perish t get her. The reconstruction policy of t ..ogress has cost hundreds of millions aI re ulv. It has lessened the productions of the s-.nth one hundred millions each year of Os ex is fence.

The South asks nothing but what the North promised—equality under the same constitution. Georgia asks no power to make a constitution for her internal affairs or to change that constitution, which is not conceded to and excrc’scd by Illinois. Will a Pieaident chosen from I Ilinois con cede that claim according to tiie eoustitu tiou, or will he deny it according to the Chicago platform ?

And see the Judge with glory crowned, H And see the flaming skies. ! The minister then offered a fervent and a solemn Mirayer.
