WEDNESDAY MORNING,NOV. 11,18G8 tFroin the 7 v'evllle Democrat. t Damn, the Bebeln> 'lMiero Is nothing so mortifying:. so aggra vatiu,r in the view of our present troubles, fs the”notorious fact that the commonest courtesy or kindness, such as is usual be tween man and man, would alleviate and correct all our national disasters and suf fering. The lack of this is the cause of every ea -1 ami tv we endure. .There are errors in fi nancial management, errors in legislation, errors in judicial interpretation. W herev er we look, whatever branch of govern ment we investigate, there are confessed errors, wrongs to be righted, inequalities to adjust, injuries to correct. But at the bottom of all these, and the cause of all these, is the distrust by the section in power of the section out of power. Bad as the reconstruction plan is, if it was administered in a leeling of confidence and affection towards the people over whom it is enforced, it would be endurable and might found a happy government.— Bad as the carpet-baggers’ title to power is, if they were gentlemen and statesmen, they might rule a willing people. Bad as martial law and the Freed men’s Bureau are, in violation of natural rights and char tered liberties, if they exercise impartial justice, tempered with a sympathetic rc <rard for the w shes and prejudices of the people, the country mightendure them and prosper. Bad as corrupt laws and corrupt indues are, it they sought to do justice and to promote kindly sentiments aud mutual respect among the people, the nation could survive, rebellion and ruin. Bad as it is to feel one’s self in the power of arbitrary ar rest, with a denied habe<ts corpus and un warrantable imprisonment, if it was done with a show of regard for justice aud uat ural sympathies, the people could trust and Jive. All errors, every error, the paper curren cy, the unequal taxation, the bogus govern ments, the bureau, all of them are tainted in origin or operation with distrust, hatred, and work evil, because they are aimed to do evil. The whole machinery of govern ment is administered in the interest of one section against the other. Aspirants ask office on "the ground of their hatred to a section ; platforms are made that purpose ly distinguish between the sections to the disadvantage of the South. Colfax stood before an intelligent audience and denoun ced the Southern people as liars, traitors, swindlers, villains and midnight assassins,- without a blush. He avowed his intense hatred of the South. He asked for votes because he does hate the South. He urged liis hearers to share in his hatred. He en deavored to prove the South deserves to be hated and abhorred. lie said, with a Phar isaical blasphemy that invites and will meet retribution, that lie feels, in laying his head upon the pillow, that he has done no man injury; that he is a good man; and yet, with the most shocking and intense virulence his lips and throat have boiled over with a torrent of the most wicked and atrocious venom of his heart. All this vo cabulary of hatred he considers pure and sinless. In this cursing and slandering half of his own country and the people thereof as “ murderous villains,” he claims to have committed no sin against God and man. It is religion to hate and crucify the South, it is political wisdom to stir up the malignant and revengeful passions of the most powerful section against the weaker. This policy is exemplified in Colfax, in the nomination of Grant, in the whole course and career of Radicalism. The whole system and policy on which they (the Radicals) propose to govern is the ha tred OF THE STRONGER SECTION TO THE WEAKER. Analyze it, examine it, question the next Radical you meet, read their platform, their speeches, see if that is not the whole system, the very key to that policy on which this nation is to be governed for the next four years. The platform is plain, direct. It places the basis of government on hatred to the South. Question your Radical friend, the first expression and all of it is— Damn the rebels. Their speeches, platform, documents, fluauces, everything is that short phraso— Damn the rebels. This is the whole sum and substance of the whole Radical platform. There is not one spark of common humanity or common sense, not an iota of Christian feeTng or natural kindness, in them or their policy. Brutal, cruel, hateful, they succeeded by engineering into one solid body the whole eri-UJecliln Coiistitujiotmlisi. bitter, revengeful, passionate feeling of one section against the other. The South is to be hated and accursed, and ruled under a system of hatred and intolerant cruelty. The savage with his victim at the stake' is an angel of mercy to such men and such a policy. Their whole vocabulary of states manship, political economy, knows but one sentiment, the key to all conduct and all policy —Damn the rcbe’s. No Government so influenced and so ad ministered ever can or ever should prosper. The fiat of Him who said vengeance is mine is against it. He cannot permit His laws to be broken aud His justice violated ; His divine mercy thwarted and His immaculate justice spurned by aDy nation or ffuy peo ple. We will never prosper while it lasts. Though every acre teemed with vegetable gold; though every rock -were gold and every rivulet ran diamonds; though every sea bore pearls and every breath fanned prosperity, wc could not be a rich, happy people, or a great nation. God’s curse is on it. Man’s hatred to man is fixed forever with the ineffaceable brand of Cain, and neither man nor government can avoid the curse. On the other hand, let a sentiment of con fidence and affection prevail; let the laws be administered as if they meant protection, and not vengeance; let humanity, mercy and Christian love find place in our Gov ernment aud in the hearts of the rulers, and no legislation however impolitic, no Execu tive action however rash, can impede or de feat our certain progress to riches, honor, prosperity and happiness. Men of humanity and cultivation, actuated not by distrust but by love for their fellow-creatures, could administer even Radical measures, with all its miserable crimes and follies, so as to win the respect and promote the prosperity of the Southern people and of the nation. But the Radical party, with its policy of wrath, misconstruction and hatred, can administer no laws, good or bad, hut to the fatal in jury of the nation and the people. Will Gen.

THEODORE TII.TON AS AN ADVOCATE FOR “ANGLO-AMERICAN WITH ANGLO-AFRICAN BLOOD nis oriNION OF “ WHAT ANS WER.” [We take the liberty of printing in the Revolution the following private letter to one of its editors :] New York, November I,IBGB. My Dear Mrs. Stanton I have just been reading in the Revolution your notice of Anna Dickinson’s book. By way of amiable protest, let me sav (though not for publication) that you do her so slender a jus ice as to amount to a positive wrong. A great moral reform elicits many books and speeches—the best of vvhicli are seldom faultless in artistic structure or literary finish. “Uncle Torn** Cabin,” judged as a mere work of art, seems as much out of shape as a siuffed Christmas stocking in a chimney-nook; nevertheless, among all the fictions that have helped the world, that unpremeditated and extemporaneous book stands second only fp the “ Pilgrim’s Pro gress.” Wendell Phillips' political speeches, judged as in ere literary essays, abound in almost as much bad grammar as his edito rials ; nevertheleftf, among all the statesmen of his country and time he is the conspicu ous chief—the leader of leaders—the bright, particular star of American polities. There are many precious public utter ances on which one never thinks of render ing a verdict of mere literary Does anybody ever 'stop to ask wheth'er* or" not the Declaration of Independence is in good English? Does anybody mourn over the Magna Charta because It is in bad Lat in? When the Atlantic Cable reports to the Tribune what John Bright has been say ing, does it take that trouble merely because he s,a vs it well? Did not our whole nation recognize that Abraham Lincoln's home spun words at Gettysburg were greater than Edward Eyerett’s gilded oration ? Once when Father Taylor, in preaching to his audience of seamen, found himself en tangled suddenly in a thicket of accumu lated clauses, he extricated himself by ex claiming, “I have lost track of the nomina tive to my verb, but my brethren, one thing I know—7 am bound for the Kingdom of Heaven!'' That was oratory superior to rhetoric! It was getting the wine of elo quence by crushing the grap.ee qf style. Now, when a speech or sermon or book happens to be so good that one cares no thing for the style in which it is expressed, i the substance is thereby proven to be of pe culiar and extraordinary merit. This is jqst my feeling about Miss Dick inson’s story. On taking up the volume, and before knowing or suspecting its drift, I rebelled against the opening chapters be cause I thought them awkward —as, indeed, they are. But as soon as I discovered the author’s object in object so un expected, and so much nobler than any mere literary effect—l immediately quench ed my disposition to criticize. Her heroic attempt to join the Anglo Saxon and An glo-African blood in a true and lawful mar riage, and to make fashionable society stand by as a consent jpg and applauding witness, was a purpose so mufll) mope peril ous, humane and Christian than was ever undertaken by any other American author, that l said to myself (forgetting all literary merits or defects). “ This is the bravest book in American literature.” Tell me what New England or Knickerbocker book maker has ever more nobly and courageous ly defied American opinion ? Not one. And in this illustrious fact lies the chief and precious value of this Quaker girl’s book. But the Revolution takes exceptions, not so lmieli to Miss Dickinson’s style as to her th'eme. I confess tfiat this criticism, com ing from your pen, sut-prist'S me greatly’. You intimate that she ought to have turn ed her book on the pivot of Woman’s Rights. But the story, as it stands, is a signal contribution to Woman’s Rights. It seeks to lift the most despised race among our countrywomen to a just level with the proudest. If its object had been merely to give to Miss Eroildoune a ballot, its pages would have borne a less emphatic testimo ny to Woman’s Rights than by giving to such a bride as Francesca such a bride groom as Surrey. • Then, too, as this is a white man's gov ernment, I owe to this book a white man’s thanks for vindicating a white man’s right to marry whomsoever lie pleases, provided the lady herself consents. It Is impossible tor white men—particularly for such as feel a mantling and Tammany pride in their whiteness—to be ever considered a truly superior race so long as they are de nied the sacred right of protecting their own private affections by the solemn sanc tions of public law. More tyrranous than the worst Radical Republican rule is the public sentiment in the South, which for bids au eminent white Democrat from openly marrying the lady of his heart— What a domestic boon this little book seeks to confer on hundreds ind thousands of “ nature’s noblemen ” who were former ly the owners of married brides, and ivho are now provided with a golden opportuni ty to wed their own yvives. But I can pardon the Revolution's neglect to point out this one peculiar mission of Miss Dickinson’s book, because, my dear Mrs. Stanton, your sympathies with the Democratic party are of so recent an ori gin that you could hardly be expected to appreciate, in a moment, all the obligations of gratitude which that party ought to feel, as white men, towards the only book in our literature which directly points out to them how to be at the same time vir tuous and happy. Os course you will accep " this carping epistle in the best of humor, because it comes from Your friend and biographer, Theodore Tilton. [From the N, Y. Express. The Pablic Debt Statement and the Money Panic. • The public debt statement shows some important changes, and gives a clue to the present stringency in money, which has started the greatest panic ever known in Wall street, and caused so much distress to tlie business community. There was a growing suspicion throughout October that the Treasury was selling bonds, in addition to the gold sales, especially at the close of the month, when the stringency assumed a very aggravated form from some unknown cause, and the bear clique became even more bold and desperate. It was openly assert ed, from time to time, by the bear specu lators, that the Treasury was selling bonds, and the fact that new bonds of consecutive numbers were afloat in large quantities, was cited as a proof. Treasury officials and Treasury brokers here stoutly denied the assertion about as often as it was re peated, and yet the statement shows an in crease of $7,423,650 in Five-twenties. This created considerable excitement on the street when it was known, and a sharp de cline in the public funds. In this connec tion, however, it may be proper to remark, that the sales are understood to have been made through a Washington Bank, in con nection with a prominent banking firm here, which concern did not employ the usual outside brokers in the matter. This may account for the apparent ignorance of par ties here, who ought to be posted in regard to the movements of the Treasury. The three per cent, certificates have decreased $6,905,000, but up to the present time the amount taken in is over $15,000,000, which is just so much contraction of the currency. These sales of bonds, and the cancellation of three per cent, certificates, are the con necting links in the secret history of the great money stringency, and plainly show that the bears, by a combination of cir cumstances, have met with grand success, such as they could not have achieved had it not been for the necessities of the lrea sury Department. It would have been better for the Treas ury to have announced these sales of bonds at an earlier moment, as this would have robbed the bears of a great deal of ammu nition. The causes of the money pressure are now before the public, and may be sun] mp 4 i)P )h the cruel hallucination and deception of the Republican party in edu cating Wall street and the public generally, that Gen. Grant’s election was to restore easy money and high prices—the Treasury saies of gold and bonds, the contraction of the currency to the extent of $15,000,000 by the cancellation of three per cent, certifi cates, the contraction of bank loans, the expanded condition of the stock market, the locking up of greenbacks, and last, but not least, the drain of greenbacks to the West to pack the flog crop and move grain to the seaboard, also to the South to move cotton and tobacco. In this conitectioff tjji} great est anxiety is felt in regard to the future, which, of course, uo one can foresee; but if the Treasury sales of gold and bonds are to continue, and also the cancellation of certi ficates, with no letting out of money on the part of the bears, then the gravest fears may well be entertained, and it behooves every business ujai; to get his affairs in shape to meet the panic, which is now extending its lines and reaching beyond Wall street. It is to be hoped, however, that the panic may be prevented from spreading, and that something may occur to relieve the money market, but still it is idle to deny the fact that the financial Ration is in the hands of a few meq who, tq a certaip extent, con trol the money market at this centre, and consequently of the whole country. There is a" styottg, pfessgre being brought to bear on the jicerctary to rnissyc>gpe*-n --jaacku,; and., inam.se ihisr’tofctl dw##s*eF $400,000,000, which would relieve the com munity, and tend to restore confidence in values. The total debt shows a decrease of $7,- 514,166, but this is merely nominal, as the Government owed over $25,000,000 in coin on the Ist instant as interest.

No angel has touched ray lips with the burning coals from the altar of the sacrifices. I leave to others the fine phrases and the empty com pliments that you would not value. What you have done in the past is sufficient guarantee of your heroism and demotion in the future. You have more than rivalled, you haye excelled, the women of Siragog.sn and Verona, and the Hebrew matrons and maidens who helped tq defend the Holy City of Jerusalem against the legions of Vespasian. You will also do your duty iu the days, dark or bright, that are to come. You will teaph those wfio love your fidelity to principle amid ajl temptations, to prefer honor to prosperity, and the dangerous truth to the safe and profitable falsehood ; con stancy and courage, and the manly aud hopeful endurance that befits a man. You are tbe con querors who take all men captive, and whose silken fetters, stronger than tempered steel, we are glad and proud to wear. Into our souls your eyes 6hine like stars, aud wc bow down and worship, and in love find new strength to undertake great enterprises or endure great calamities. O! flowers brought tp tis by the angels from the Garden of Paradise, ypu bloorp here to bless, to encourage, aqd to console. Wc are all your willing slaves. Age gives no exemption from that service; for, in the sad and sober Autumn of our days, we still covet the living smile and the loving look that can be ours no more. The sober Autumn of out days ! For you, the bright and glad anticipa tions of the future, the dreams that make youth’s happiness j for us the memories of tbe past, of joys and sorrows intermingled, of the hopes and loves, and bitter disappointments and cruel losses, of the days that are no more. Our country, also, our own dear Southland that yon love so well, has its memories of thff past, of a glad, bright dawn and a morning full of promise, that darkened into a day full of gloom, and terror, and disaster. Out of that darkness the faces of our dead look sadly, and pityingly, and lovingly upon us. They have not died in vain. The land they died lor 6hall yet reap the fruit of the great sacrifice. Our country, also, has its hopes, that are not delu sive, for the future. To it, the sober Autumn days have not come—nor even those of life’s Summer. For it, the rosy days of Spring have not departed, though the immortelles planted by angels bloom on many graves.” A poor needle woman in London lived as long as she could on two shillings a week, and then died by gradual starvation Two bottom less chairs, a heap bt rags and a dead woman were found in her room one morning.

Tht*- mania mat eitists for precocious education and mar riage, causes tlie years that nature designed for corpo- 1 real development to ho wasied and perverted in the restraints of dress, the ear'y co.iiin ment of school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement of the ball-room.

This is but a truthful piettny of the experience of thousands of our young women. Long before tlie abl.ity to exercise the functions of the generative organs, they require an education of their peculiar nervous st stem, composed of what is culled the tissue, which is, in common with the fe male breast and lips, evidently under the control of mental emotions and associations at an early period of life ; and, as we shall subsequently see, these emo tipns, when oxces-ive, lead, long before puberty, to habits which sap the very life of their victims evv na ture has self-completed their development.
