A holocaust of ten thonmuid ne groes would ho a small matter to them if thereby they could renew their loose upon the control of the Federal government. Those Ku Klux letters that nro being sent to tho negroes of our county nro doubtless gotten up by the Radicals for tho very purpose of being lined sgiiinst the Democrats. And tlioy would gladly avail tlieinw Ives of any sort of difficulty, no matter who was to blame, if they could thereby injure ns. The prosperity, happiness, or even tho lives of tho negroes would ho nothing to them it they stand in the way of their success utid promotion to office. If a dead negro could make them two votes somewhere else these scamps would prefer him dead in (her than living. It will not bo sur prising therefore if under the advice of their leaders the negroes should ahmv a disposition to get up a difficulty. While wo are not called upon to submit to every thing, us not ho hasty, hot be prudent mid cautious, so Unit if nothing but a row " ill do we can not only have clear con sciences, but be abundantly able to justify ourselves before the world.

When there will be no Federal Courts to punish the innocent, no Fed) ral hnydnet to uphold tho guilty, hut when under pure'and holiest Democratic admin istration justice will b administered alike in all our tribunals, the guilty will be pun isliod and the innocent protected. THE CHATTAKOOGA COH VENTICH. This conclave of Radical*, Carpet-bag gers, Scalawags, *cautnJr>* nad thievei adjourned without-accomplishing anything except to appoint n Manufacturing Com mittee, to couopot Southern outrage*, ■danders ami lies for the next Congress. Wo suppose they concluded it was too lute to make much impression upon Hie ap proaching elections, ami the next, heat thing they eonld do was to invent false hoods to be reported to Congress for the purpose-of keeping out the Democrat who will bbjegally elected. If imaginary out rages and wholesale slander can answer in the place of legal votes, wo are persuaded these Radicals have struck upon the right plau for electing congressmen. They have a talent in that lino that defies all compe tition. With fertile imagination*, stimu lated by hatred to the Smith and their love of office ami plunder and no conscience to check them, who can pretend to limit their r •sources in this]respect? If necessary that there should be some violence or threats iu order to give a little semblance of truth to their gross falsehoods, they can soon arrange for this and have it charged to Democratic intolerance. But we arc persuaded that after all their reign is rapidly approaching its end. The prejudice of the Northern people is begin ■ling to abate, and ns soon as their passions coot sufficiently for reason to resume its sway, they will, no longer be. humbugged by too glowing publications of Radical of tice-holders. And where a returning justice ocgfns to possess the minds of the people, those Who have lived aad prospered by abusing and traducing Us, will meet with the just recompense of their reward, and .the Radical party must go to speedy de struction.

These treasures were, to be the reward of him who should climb the liiii on which they were located.

Htifety consisted in pressing for ward and looking not back. One glance to ! tho roar transformed the seek, r into a j small black stone, whereof thousands I covered tiie hill side. It is tints with the Democratic and Con- j servative party. No sooner does it begin ! to climb the hill than Radicalism raises all manner of diabolical sounds to romped it to look back. Let ns, therefore, he warned j by the moral of the Arabian (ale, arid east no glance backwards. Two young princes, ! who* taul commenced the ’ascent of the, hill with hopeful hearts, turned to confront and chastise those whom they supposed to ! be so close behind, insulting, gibing and abusing them, and wore turned to stone. The princess, who followed her brolhiiss, looked not back—-paid no heed to the mocking multitude, and was successful. Twice since the war Ml the Democratic and Conservative party turned to defend I itself against its tormentors, and twice has it been defeated.
