What Rocamo of the Body pf Wilkes Booth. General Lafeyette C. Baker, the Veil known Chi if of the Bureau of National Detective Police during the war, has published a portly volume presenting a record of the operations of his force, “so far as it is proper to make them known to the public ’’ — The following passage, if to be believ ed, sets at rest the dispute as to the final disposition of Booth’s body : In order to establish the identity of the body of . the assassin beyond all question, the Secretary of War direc ted me to summon a number of wit nesses residing in the city of Wash ington, who had previously known the murderer. Some two years previous to the assassination of the President, Booth had had a tumor or carbuncle cut from his neck by a surgeon. On inquiry, I ascertained that Dr. May, a well known and very skillful surgeon, of 25 years, practice in Washington, had performed the operation. Accordingly, I called on Dr. May, who, before seeing the body, minutely described the exact locality of the tu mor, the nature and date ol the ope' ration, &c. After being sworn, he pointed to the scar in the neck, which vy&S lliwu plurnVj- -rraiblo. oihiir witnesses were axamined, all of whom had known the assassin intimately for years. The various newspaper ac counts, referring to the mutilation of Booth’s body, are eaqually absurd. — General Barnes Surgeon. General U. S. A., was on board tlie gunboat where the postmortem examination was held, with his assistants. Gen. Barnes cut from Booth’s neck about two inches of the spinal column through which the ball had passed ; this piece of bone which is now on exhibition at the Government IVJedical Museum in \V ash ington, is the only relic of the assas sin's body above ground, and this is the only mutilation of the remains that ever occurred. Immediately after the conclusion of the examination, the Secretary of War gave orders rs to the disposition of the body, which had become, very • offen> give, owing to the condition in which it had remained after death ; the leg, broken jti jumping from the box to the stage, was much discolored and swol len, the blood from the wound having saturated his under clothing. With the assistance of Ijieut. L. 13. Baker, I took the body from the gun boat to the old Penitentiary, adjoining the old Arsenal grounds. The building had not been used as a prison for some years previously. The Ordnance De partment had filled the ground-floor cells with-fixed amuuition— one of the largest of these cells was selected as the burial place of Booth —the auimu." nitioif was removed, a large flat stone lifted from its place, and a rude grave dug; the body was dropped in, the grave filled up, the stone replaced, and there rests to this hour ail that re mained of John Wilkes Booth. The Death of John M.. Park.man. T&e telegraph announced a few days ago the suicide, by drowning, of John M. I’arktuan, late President of the First National Bank of Belina. The Times, of that city, of a subse quent date, furnishes the following particulars of the sad affair . On the 10th of last month John M. Parkinan, President of the First Na. tional Bank of this city, offered, thro’ the city papers, a-reward pf ?20,000 for tho recovery of SI6u,OOQ, said to have been stolen the day before from the bank. On the following day Gen. Swayne, on behalf of the government, took possession of tire bank and its deposits, and placed tho President un der military arrest. The next morning Parkman escaped from liis residence, when he was under guard, and took tho Cahaba road on horseback. General Swayne offored a reward of SISOO for bis apprehension, and on the 19th he was captured in Wilcox county, brought hack to Selma, and the following day lodged in the county jail at Cahaba, were ho hhs re. mained until yesterday evening about sunset. At this hour the inmates of the jail were in tho hall, when the jailor entered. Upon the opening of the door, Parkman rushed out and made for the Alabama river, about sevetityefive yards distant. The jailor fired at him as ho ran, and soon afteri wards he was seen to fall. , Recover, ing himself .he ran into the river, and struck out as a swimmer. The steamer Gertrudo was lying alout twenty yards below where he entered, and his m >vo znenis were distiuctly seen by a party of ladies and gentleman aboard. He disappeard once or twice while floating down to the boat, and efforts were bo ing made to saVehim. Reaching tine wheel of tbc )&©«*>, mvti was nut in mo. tion, he paused for-a moment, stifled and exhausted, then sunk under thg boat and has not been seen since. Every means ai'o being used to re cover his remains. He leaves a wife and two children overwhelmed with the sad calamities of a few weeks, and exciting tho tender* est sympathies of the entiro commu nity. The Girls to the Young Men,— The literary department of the luka (Miss.) Mirror is edited by four your.g ladies. Their last number contains the following paragraph, which exhorts, fcbeyoungman to “depend on himself.” M-ost young men consider it a mis« fortune to be born poor, or not to havo capital enough to establish themselves flt the outset of life in a good and eom fortable business. This is a mistaken notion. So far from poverty being u misfortune to them, if we may judge from what wo dally behold,' it is a blessing; the chances are moro than ten to one against him who starts with a fortune. Most rich men’s sons die in poverty, while many poor men’s sons come to wealth and honor. It is a blessing, instead of a curse, to have to work oMt their own fortune. Jitmijimt (feterpst (SEMI-WEEKLY. Y L. C. BRYAN, : : : : Editor. THOMASVILLE, GA.: TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 1867.' ELECTION TO-MORROW. Let every voter within the corpora tion, white or black, remember, that, to-morrow, (Wednesday,) he is called upon to vote, whether or not the town of Thomasville shall be authorized to issue bonds to the amount of SIOO,- 000, and to tax the people for the pay. ment ot the interest on the same, for tho benefit of the South Georgia & Florida Railroad. Wo have now to decide whether we will let IToraas. ville go down with the extension of the Atlantic & Gulf Road to Bain. bridge, or whether we will put our shoulders to the wheel, and lift her up to tho high state of prosperity and im portance of other towns possessing like' advantages. Shall we permit onr pro. perty to be reduced in value, or shall we double, treble and quadruple its value, by adding to our facilities for travel and transportation ? These are the questions that stare us in the face. Ono or the other must now surely come to pass , and upon ms devolves the de~- cision of the question. Will any man vote against hh otpn interests? We hope none will be found so foolish. The humblest colored .laborer at the plane, or in the brick yard, as well as the rohest merclwnt at his. counter, will be benefitted by the construction of this railroad. It will give the one more brick to make, more houses to build, and the other more goods to sell, more customers to buy. It will bring population to the town and country, to buy and cultivate the lands, and add life and interest to tho town and sec tion. Who would not pay a light tax for such splendid results? Beside, the motley paid out for this tax is not lost*to the tax payer. He will get a receipt, for the amount of tax he pays, convertible into stock in the Railroad. This receipt will possess a market va lue, and may bo sold or traded to suit the convenience of the holder, hut ! good always for stock in the Railroad, i Furthermore, wc'beliovc arrangements | will be made to allow every tax payer to commute the whole amount of his ' Railroad tax, by paying in the amount at any time , and exempting his pro perty from future taxation for tho same purpose. This would ho a good nr. rangement, and advantageous to thoso who may put their property on the market, and calm .tho .fears of those who think thoir property would become less saleable because of the Railroad tax. Show them by your votes that you intend to build this road, and the property of these men will nut be for sale until the road is so far advanced, as at least to double its value ; and ah though some of them may now argue and even volo against tho road, they will soon show how they can appreci ate its advantages, arid how quickly they c>n take advantage of its influ ence to rise in tho price.of their pro perty. Our advice is, let every man vote for the Railroad , if it takes half his property to pay tho tax. lor weave assured that it will he paid hack to him fourfold. MONTICELLO—TALLAHAS SEE-ALBANY. All three ol tho above cities aro deeply interested in tho success of tho South Georgia & Florida Railroad.— Many of their citizens would invest in tho enterprise, if its merits were set before them. Why will not our co temporaries of the press in those cities give the niiittor somo attention ? Al bany cannot apprehend danger from tho extension of her road Southward, and Mostioello and Tallahassee cr.tn not be blind to the great advantages onr road will confer upon them. Speak up, gentlemen, and let us know your position. We offer our neighbors in Albany a Gulf connection and cheap ened freights —and wo offer our Flo rida friends, a highway to the North- West and all tho World. Will you not oome and help us ? $25,000 SUBSCRIBED! We take pleasure in announcing that Dr. Bower’s proposition to ho one of twenty-live men, to subscribe si,ooo each, as a nucleus cash subscription for the South Georgia & Florida R il roud, has h-on natty .-ccundqd and carried without opposition. Several of the gontlemon who subscribed SI,OOO, now propose to double their subscriptions That is now the ques tion in order, and a noble move in the right direction— debate is not in order —down with the money, and let us soo at onCe how many will double. — Another motion has also been made to raise a similar subscription of $25,090 by .fifty nton at five hundred dollars each. llow many will meet this pro position ? Let somo energetic citizen take the book and go round, without delay, jllako this proposition as suo> cesslul as the first, and a $50,000 sub scription will be ready for operations on the road. Tho time is propitious, and let the proposition be testod at once. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OPINION. * Wo are indebted to the Maopn Tele graph for the very excellent synopsis of the Attorney Goneral's Opinion, whioh we publish to-day. Our columns aro too small for the elaborate argu ments of tho Attorooy General, and we thank our able cotcmporaries of the i Telegraph for siring us the trouble, by furnishing a good synopsis. 8®“ The Ghicago Times says “ From a traitor’s prison Jefferson Davis' has gone forth to assume the place which the future will assign him, as tho most colossal character in the history of his time.’’ Yes, “the most colossal character ia the history of- his time.” The Radi cals may rave, gnash their teeth and denounce Jefferson Davis as a trai tor, rebel, or whatever they will; but when the future impattial historian take 9 up his pen, to set before the world a true history of the times, ev ery department of the ovidence, from the dusky, pile of manuscript, piled mountain high by the events of the war, will trumpet forth the genius of the man who sat sternly and calmly four years in Richmond, and in'one hundred miles of the Federal Capitol, hurled bsck, broken and shattered, the best appointed armies the world has ever seen. It is almost incredible, that the sparsely settled South, without re sources, arms or ammunition, il hermct ically sealed’’ from all the world, one third ot' her population defected slaves, and one-third of her white population loyal to the Federal Government —we say, it is almost incredible that the South, under these adverse (fircum sutances, did actually meet, defeat and repel, the great armies of the’ all-pow erful North for four years. Napoleon raised one million of men and bade defiance to all Europe; but Mr. Lin coin ea]\ed out jibe millions of tjie sol diers of the North to put down an “insurrection'’ in the cotton planta. tions of the South, and strange to say, those Cotton planters successfully re sisted that mighty host, throughout Mr. Lincoln's' Presidential term- of four years. He never was President over the South. 11c vtho uprooted the foundations of Republican Liberty and shed the blood of the nation, ne ver reigned over the South. Ilis em pire was divided: and a calm, stern mau, sat in council at Richmond, des tined to defeat his ambition and wear ■ Ins crown of fame. WAR OF THE RACES-WHO SHALL RULE? The “war ol races” may bo said fairly to have commenced in New Or leans. The colored leaders clitim the exclusive government of the city, and the whites have resolved to resist,- Even the Radicals in the city arc alarmed, and tho Advocate, a Radical journal heads a lengthy hostile article against the colored leaders as follows : “Shall white men or black mon rule this city? Such is tho issue which is being forced upon our community. It is a question of the gravest possible Import. It is a movement environed with difficulties and pregnant with re sults which appall our best and wisest citizens. It is tho tocsin note of tho “war of races.” SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR. The Juno number of this excellent work on agriculture is on our table. Those who have not alroady subscribed for it should do so without delay. It is the most valuable aid and adviser the Southern farmer can obtain, and none should be without it. NOT SO LOW DOWN AS THAT. Wo arc pleased to see that in his re. ply to the Loyal Georgian, Mr. Hayes, editor of ihe Savannah Repub lican, nbly defends his conservative views, and although'confesses that he is a Radical, yet, he lias not yet de fended’ to the level of tho Loyal Gear . ginn tS&C President Johnson is in the South. He passed through Richmond on tho 2nd inst. on his way to Raleigh N. G. lie was accompanied by many gentlemen (officials) of distinction. Moro about Maximilian’s Capture Matamoras, May 23 (via New Or leans, May 27.) —The following was received from General Fscobedo to day : Citizen Minister of War —At o o’clock on tho morning of the 15th, La Crosse was taken by our foroes, who surprised tho enemy, and shortly after tho garrison were mado prisoners, and our troops occupied the plaza. In the mean while tho enemy retreated towards Carro do la Campana, where our artillery caused him to surrender at 8 o’clock this morning. Maximilian and his Generals, Mejia and Costello, surrendered unconditionally. You will pleaso give the President my congiat ulat’ons on this triumph of tho nation al army. Nf.i) Escobedo. General Escobedo reports from the interior that President Juarez*hason dered tho Aaohduko Maximilian and all his Generals to be .shot. Matamoras, May 25.—Tho-Liber al force which took peses&ion of Quorc taro have started for tho capitol. Commander J. I). Pagan, of the Mexican Navy, has been oplorod by General Borrizcabal to command an expedition against Vera Cruz. Tho Liberals have taken possession of tho steamer Genoral Sheridan lor naval purposes. So ends the struggle in Mexico. Washington, Juno I.—The Herald lias a special dispatch announcing the execution of Maximilian and officers. Tho report is discredited at tho State Department. J Home for Mr. Davis —The j Mississippians are inaugurating a movement to ra.se means to purchase i homo for Mr. Davis, i.t tho capital of ! tho Stato. Ge.v Sueridan.—Tho tyranny ex- i croised by this military despot iji Lou- ! isiana has driven tho people in that 1 Stato to petition the President for his j removal. They have asked that Gen. ! Meade he appointc 1 in his place. The Attorney General’s Opinion Synopis. For the conveniences of those who have not time to read the Attorney General’s opinion, and for general reference, wc have prepared below a synopis of all the most important points of the document: The registration mjist bo completed before the Ist day of September, 18G7. A voter must he 21 years of age at' the dale of registration; and have been ono year a resident of the State when he votes, though he may regis* ter and state the number of months he has been resident which fact muss ap pear on the list of voters opposite his name. This clause of the oath, that “ I have never been a member of any State Legislature nor held any execu tive or judicial office in any State and afterwards engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof,” is treated as independent of this: “ That 1* have never taken an oath as a member of tho 'Congress of the United. Stafes, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State Legislature,-or as an execu tive of judicial'.officer of any State to suppo.t the Constitution of the United States, pr given, pid and comfort to the enemies thereof.” And under it lie seems to consider members (f the State Legislatures and executive and judicial officers during the .rebellion, who may never have taken the oath to support the Constitution of the United States, as Well as members of secession conventions and military officers of the States during the. rebellion, as clearly disfranchised, subject to the limitations hereinafter stated. All officers, civil and military, of the United States, who to-k thc-oath to support the Constitution oft he United States, and afterwards engaged in re. hellion, &e., are disfranchised. Militia officers of a State prior to the rebellion are not disfranchised. Members of Congress and members of State Legislatures lire clearly desig nated, hut officers of Legislatures are not. The terms executive and judiciul officers of a State clearly include, so far as executive officers are concerned, all such officers as are generally k nown by the proper description of Stato of ficers or officers qf tho Stato. • In one sense, and in a pr polar sense, the description executive officers of a State is applicable to a well known class — the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Stato Auditor, Treasurer, Secratary and Stato officials proper, who exercise executive functions at tho seat of Gov ernment. 1 uin not prepared to say (says Mr 5.,) that only those proper State offi cials come within this term of descrip tion, nor am I prepared, as to judicial officers of a State, to limit the dcscrip. tiou to judges of courts whose jurisdic tion extends over the entire State. I must content myself in saying of these officers, executive or judicial, that they arc clearly within the meaning of the law. Upon the subject of those not inclu. ded cortcinly, he says: I have said that in addition to tho class of officers who dearly conm with in the terms of the Aft as judicial and executive officers of the State, and to those classes which comprehend mi.itia officers and milnfcilpul officers, who clearly are not within the terms of the Act, there remains a vast number of officers whose status is in some way defined. These are known in popular language by such terms of description as county, township and precinct of. fleers. Their name is legion. Their func'ious and duties arc, for the most part, strictly local. Some of them, such as sheriffs'ami justices of tho county courts, have jurisdiction tmsr the entire county. Others are resit ted to the smallest civil sub-divisions. I have directed abstracts to bo prepare ed for each of these States, which will exhibit all these officers and the duties which appertain to-them, and the form of oath required. Engaging in insurrection or rebell ion against the United States, to work exclusion, must be voluntary. Con scripts, and slaves forqod into the army or to w >rk on fortifications are not ex cluded. Oft the other hand, all thoso who in a legislative or ’other official capacity were engaged 4n the. furtherance of a ootumon unlawful nurpose, or persons who in tjieir individual capacity have done any over hot for the purposo of promoting rebellion, may well bo said in tho meaning of this law to have en gaged in rebelliun. All persons who during tho robot tho-duties ot' oflfoe necessarily had re lation to tho support of tho rebellion, such as members of a rebel legislature and rebel congress and rebel con veil ■ tions, diplomatic agents of tho rebel Confederacy, or such other officials Whose duties more especially apper tained to the Support of the rebel cause, ■ must he held to cotuo within the terms of exclusion. Officers in those rebel States who du' ring the rebellion discharged official duties not incident to the war, but in preserration of order and administra tion of law, are no: to bo considered as thereby engaging in rebellion. I must reserve lor further eonsid. oration, after the abstracts arc made, the question whether nil of them, or if not all, what classes of these offio rs oouie within the disqualification. As to all otter executive or'judioial ofli oers who are not in popular language characterised as county officers, I sh. dine to consider them ns coming un der tho description of executive and judicial officer* of a State, within the meaning of these laws. Further— i cannot enumerate all of tho em ployments under State authority which, i« mv opinion, work no dis franchisemcnt. I will name some by way of illustration, viz : Boards of commissioners of public works, direc ted of asylums, visitors of State uni versities, directors of State penitenti aries, State directors of banks, or other corporations, special commissioners or agents appointed by the Governor of another State with authority to per form special duties, as examiners of banks, notaries public, and coramis sioners to take acknowledgments of deeds. The rule laid down, and these illustrations, will perhaps be sufficient to determine who come within its op. erations. We give this extract also as perti* nent: . . , The exclusion is all comprehensive as to time, and applies not only to those who were in office when the rebellion commenced, but to those who held the prohibited offices-at any previous time, although they fnay have ceased to hold such office an in definite number of years prior to the rebellion. I now come.to consider’what is the meaning and scope of the disqualifica tions.arising under that part of the oath which requires the person tc state 1 that lt9.“hds nrfc engaged in insurrec tion or rebellion against the United States, or given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof.” 1 must here repeat What has been said before, that to work disqualification two clerrfonts must con our: first", holding the designated of fice!, State or Federal, accompanied by an official oath to support the Cousti tution of.the United States; and sec ond, engaging nt rcheUi ;n against the United States,-or giving aid and com. Tort to its enemies. Both these must not only concur, hut they must concur in the order of time mentioned. — First, the office and the oath, and af terwards, engaging in rehdlion, or giving aid and comfort. A person who iias held office within the mean ing of this law, and has taken- tho of. ficial oalh, and who has not afterwards participated in a rebellion, may very safely take this oath ; and so, too, the person who has fully participated ip the rebellion, but has not, prior there to, held an office and taken tho oifi • cial oath, may with equal 'Safety take th s oath. As to individual acts he- says . More acts of common humanity and chuirity cannot he considered as in- I volving the party in participation in the rebellion. 80, too, forced oont i butions by the rebel authorities, or the compulsory payment of taxes in aid of the rebellious States, would not in volve the person, and they must not. work disqualification under this law. Voluntary contributions in further ance of the rebellion, or subscripts- n to the rebel loans, and those organized contributions of food or clothes or nec essary supplies, except of a strictly sanitary character, are to be classed with acts whio.h disqualify. Yielding to the orders or a fits of. a de facto Government or to the circum stances incident to its cxeicisipg pew er temporarily over the people, is not considered 4“ voluntary ’’ act. “ In. voluntary ”acts are not considered ’disqualifying. • Registers are simply for the purpose j of registering the vliters’ names under orders given them as t, > manner, &e., i and not determining any rights. Parties applying to be registered J have only to take the oath, and their j names must bo registered, ami when ! registered they are entitled to vote. • Mr. Greeley having dourol | ishod top Pharisees of the League, of | Now York, yesterday turned Lis at ton« ! (ion to Wendell Phillips and gave that demagogue a dressing he will lopg re member. In alluding to the latter’s lloody manifesto, 11. G. says: Such language from Wendell Phil lips is hypocritical and infamous. He panders to tuoh passions for the grati fications of his own. We leave him to that remorse which calm and reflec tion must engender. , To show the spirit which rules Wen del! Phillips we append tho following sentence from the article to whioh Greeley replies : The fawning spaniel is no emblem or teacher of forgiveness. The survi vors in the Army of the Potomac — the men who remember McCook, Memphis, Fort Pillow, and the mur ders of Bello Isle--will read this act !in a different and redder light.. They will resolve to settle thoir own wrongs tho next time) and prevent being cheated by law. When, during the war, soldiers found that guet rillus and other rob Is, their hands dripping .blood, had only to take the oath and got immediate liberty, they did net l-ni-n tK« llrwwtwy L.-hum* to forgive murderers; they simply brought in no prisoners. • No arrests were reported at headquarters ; only rumors ro ched it Os men shot in the attempt to bring them in. Wc think our baffled hoys in blue will lay up some such lessons from this. occurrence, jn case they have another call to arms. Tu heat down law does not always mean that you set up Christianity ; it sometimes makes room tor anarchy. Toward that gulf Mr. Greeley cads the nation t > take the first step, find him self leads the way. Free Speech—A Terrible Threat Wo find itl an exchange extracts from the Central Christian Advocate —M. E. Church, North—St. Louis, Missouri, ffl' which the following very Christain threut is ono : “ W «sav to all now, that our person al friends in the Ghuroh B uth we still cherish and love; that we are ready always for pence, but the real business of the Protestant t’hnrches of the North is to bear down upon the Bouth i with all their forces W e infbrm the St. Louis Advocate that we are going to amp out, and thru spread tver the South, bearing with us free schools, equal rights, free speech and a thorougly'Christian civilization. We expect to put down by the free ballot and the true Gospel every form ,ol barbarism including all the untold villainies of slavery. We intend to keep right on. and when there are enough school teachers, Radical voters and Yankee notions all over the South, we expect Wendell Phillips, William. Lloyd Garrison, and other fanatics, to swing round that entire circle through Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi and south Carolina, and talk just as they please without the slightest mo lestation. You must really grin and bear it. We will not stop for ‘line up. on line,’ leaving opt the ‘n’ if you like. We will leave ‘whining’ to your ancient friend-s, the bloodhounds, now out of office with slaveholders, and‘whimpere ing' to chagrined rebels, who have been suppressed but not taught-” . Does “free speech” mean the liber ty to insult a people under military rule ? If so you have it. —Southern Christian Advocate. How -to Advertise. —There are al-* ways two ways of doing a thing, and a good thing in itself may be turned from its purpose by the mode in which it is. applied. For want of experience and judgment some mode's Os advertis ing are nearly as had as none at all, and therefore a knowledge of the pla ces and papers in which a business man is going to a IvertjSc, is of as much consequence to him as the advertise ments themselves. It nitty be laid down as. an indisputable fact-that the money spent in judicious advertising by a busin 'ss man, invariably yields bitfc fourfold,-sooner or later, and in numerous instances ono hundred or one thousand-fold. Borne advertise for a short time a ter they commence bush ness, and thiuk it is sufficient; others Intermit ad vortisemerts utter they have establish.'i a flourishing business l> its aid This is a great mistake. From tho moment a house ceases to adver tise, however 'arge its reputation -o stand tig, it begins to decline. The changes arc so rapid in this country, and the public min'd is so.constantly occspied by new aspirants fur its favor and its attention, th <t to be out of the papers fthere everybody seeks for ills formation on every subject, is to be, forgotten The Cress is daily more and more b rom tig an «e*sity, and its usefulness as a'i advertising me dium i4 as eon t .titly inpreas.ng.

CLINE, Clerk. The Inevitable Reaction. The Herald analyzes the frantic attempts of the ultra Radicals to perpetuate disunion, and excite a conflict between the white and blabk races in tho South. In conclusion itsayß -• And what must be the result of all this? Radical extremists have houn* ded the niggers to their side of the line and driven the whites to the other. And now conies a parly inti* matson that if the whites persist in their refusal to bow down there shall Ire anew upturning—all that has been done shall be Undone; what has been settled shall be unsettled; the wnites stall be disfranchised, at-least and if neeessary, their property shall be han« ded over to the niggers; Republican*, istn must remain dominant at any cost. The result of such a policy and such i an intimation must be to .stimulate, to intensify, to hasten an inevitable reac tion over the whole North-—to give purpose and vitality to that rising sen< ti-oient of the American people that al ready weighs the necessity of. repudii ating these reckless, ruinous leaders, who would sacrifice every interest of the country, every aspiration if *he people, every principle of right and ju trice before the Moloch of party.
