tfhtmiiclc & Sentinel. WEDNESDAY MORNING, 0< TOHEK 14. Attorney at Law. Our worthy young friend, J. L. Maxwell, Esq., hap removed his law office to No. 2 Warren Hlook, where he will be pleased to trans act any business entrusted to his charge. V iolet Fluid. —We have received from Messrs. J. C. Schreiner &, Son, a bottle of Hovey s Violet Fluid, prepared expressly for Claxton, ltewson &, Haffelfinger, Nos. el9andß2l Market street, Philadelphia. It is a very prefly ink to write with, and very durable. It can be obtained at Messrs. Schreiner’s Book and Music Store, Broad •treet, near the Express Office. Connecticut. —The fact of a majority of the towns of Connecticut going Radical is of no consequence in regard to the general result. A town with 2<X) inhabitants is en titled to the same number -of Representa tives as a city with several thousand, iltuec, while the Democrats have hereto fore elected their State ticket, the Radicals have had a majority in the Legislature, .-'injetiun r, too, the towns arc confounded with cities of the same nacue and the result misapprehended. With these facts exist ing, no Democrat n.■ and feel any trouble of mind about old Connecticut. She in Demo cratic in the popular vote and will go for Seymour and Blair certain. Fob New York via Charleston.— The attention of the business and travel ling public, is invited to the advertisement of Messrs. James Adgcr & Co.,.Agents of the New York and Charleston Steamship lino. The splendid steamships Manhat tan, Champion, CharhMon and James Adjjer, leave Charleston for New York every Tuesday and Saturday, having ample accomodations for passengers and freight. Through passage tickets are issued by the South Carolina Railroad Company, from Augusta to New York, for the low price of $23 75. Mr, John E. Marjey, of the South Carolina Road, is the Agent of this lino in Augusta and ho is prepared to make freight and passage engagements and give all necessary inform ation to the public. A Wait on the Railway.—Just a;, the night train on the South Carolina Railroad was leaving tho water station near Orangeburg, on Wednesday night lu-t, a large basket was shoved into one of tho ears. Suddenly a cry proceeded from the basket, and on going to it, it was found to contain a child apparently about ttvo weeks old, with a label on the handle of the basket directed ‘‘to the care of Clark, of Charleston, S. C.” We did not learn tho sex of tho child, hut if it is a I toy, we suggest the name of Train for it, and if a girl, Car-rie. Wo propose to Bond “Baddy” down the road to investi gate the affair, and uncertain all the par ticulars. The poor littlo child, it is to l>o hoped, will be properly carod for. Some “ono more unfortunate,” doubtless, has cast it, a helpless waif, upon the waters of life, to buffet tho waves of adversity, with no kind parental hand to guide tho frail bark to a safe haven. May a kind Providence direct it to care and protection! “A New Cotton House.”—Under the above heading we find the following notice of one of our loading cotton houses in the Charleston News of Thursday. Our co temporary cannot too highly commend to * its readers the firm of Mossrs. Claghorn, Herring & Cos., and especially its junior member, Mr. A. M. Jackson, son of - Win. K. Jackson, Esq,, President of the Au gusta Factory. Mr. A. M. Jackson, al though one of our youngest,is, at the same time, onu of our most public-spirited and enterprising merchants. While wo cannot but regret his departure from his native city, wc congratulate our cotemporaries on tho accession of such material to aid in the building up and restoration of Charleston toiler former commercial and mercantile importance and prosperity. The News says: "We publish in another column tho business card of Mosars. Claghorn, Her ring >V Cos., well known as prominent not ion fai tors and eomiuission merchants in tho cities of Augusta and Philadelphia, who lmvo now opened a branch house in Charleston, of which Mr. A. M. Jackson, ono of tho members of tho firm, is the manager. Tho business connection of tho house is already very large; and their liberal spirit, high reputation and com mand of capital will secure them a hand some shine of our cotton and commission trm k>. "Thu mnnibant of tirni are : C’. H. r ifluirn null F. 11. routes, l’hilmlulphiu; W. F. lluiring, \ egustu, ami A. M. Jmik «on, In thin city.” A Mikhin<«Lauv.—Wo publish the fol lowing letter,.roooi veil in this city, in the hope that it may load to the discovery of the missing lady to whom it has reference. Any information concerning her whore' nliouts should be addressed to Mr. James 11. Flynt, Raytown, Taliaferro county, Georgia, who writes as follows : Raytown, Taliaveiiho Go., Oct. 6,1808. Dkau 1,. I take up my pen to address you a few linos on a very distressing mat ter. Mary Davidson went off on last Fri day morning, and, although every effort was made to iind her, wo could got no intelligence of her until this morning, when wo heard that she took the train at liaruett on the day she left. To one sh« said, she was going to her brother’s in Warren ; to another she said, that she was going to Burke county j but 1 am fearful shehas undertaken to go to New Hamp shire. Have you seen or hoard anything other? l’iaaseexamine the registers at the different Hotels and make inquiry at the different depots in Augusta and see if you can hnd out anything about her. We can form no opinion as to the cause of her going off, unless it may he her anxiety to go North ; but wo thought she had en tiroly given over that notion. She got a letter week before last from her grand mother, who lives in New Hampshire, which letter she left in her trunk, and on the top of said loiter she left a small slip of paper, upon which was written “Oood 'me to all," ‘‘search urill lc. useless.” The tact of this being left on the top of the re cently recovered letter from nor grand mother, induces the belief that she has undertaken to go there ; but God only knows what her intentions aro. Please do all you can to ascertain something about her, ami let me know as soon as possible. Yours, in haste, James H. Flynt. Democratic- District Convention.— The Convention of the Democracy of the Fifth Congressional District, pursuant to call, assembled at the City llall, at lli o’clock A. M. Thursday. On motion of Mr. S. D. Heard, of Rich- j mood, Dr. W. Willingham, of Oglethorpe, i was called to tho Chair. On motion of Colonel Snead, of Rich- j mond, Judge 11. 11. Perry, of Burke, was requested to act as Secretary. The Secretary read the list of counties '• comprising the District, as follows : Elbert, Oglethorpe, Lincoln, Wilkes, , Columbia, Richmond, Burke, Jefferson, 1 Washington, Hancock, Glasscock, War- \ ren, Taliaferro, Greene, and Morgan. On motion of Geo. T. Barnes, Ks ;., of Richmond, the delegates enrolled their names,as the Secretary called the counties, whereupon it was found that tho following were represented, as follows : Kibert —S. N. Carpenter. Offktlw/pe —W. Willingham and J. 11. Clark. Wilkes -M. li. Talbot. Columi'ltt—A. E. Sturges. J. G. Cald well, J. K. Benton, A. M. Liienby. Richmond —S. D. Heard, A. K. Wright, George T. Barnes, 11.

Burncs. Morgan— J. F. ShccuL And the following counties wore not rep resented, viz.: Lincoln, Jeflurson, and Glasscock. Mr. B. TANARUS, Harris, of Hancock, here arose, and stated that, as the Legislature had postponed the time of the Congres sional Election to February, and circum stances might arise which would enable the Convention to act more satisfactorily than it possibly might do at present, he would move an adjournment to the second Thurs day in December next, berng the 17th, and to this place. He also moved that the proceedings be published in the Chronic 1 ' & Sentinel and Constitutionalist, and that the other Democratic papers in the Dis trict be requested to copy. Both motions were adopted, and the Convention adjourned accordingly. A Dorr.—Our enterprising friend up the street Gus Dorr has got hack from the North with a splendid stock of clothing stuffs, and gentlemen's furnishing goods, and just as soon as he gets a little breath ing time he is going to tell the public ail about them in our advertising columns. Delaware Democratic. —The election returns from Delaware give a Democratic majority of 3,000, so that Seymour and Blair ere certain to carry the State in No vember. • Millinery.—One of the best known and most popular millinery establishments in this city i■; that kept by Mrs. D. O Con ner. Her experience and taste in the business have always secured for her a large patronage. She offers now addition al inducements in the way of new goods— the latest and most fashionable of the season; attractions that will not fail to please the ladies and win their custom. To our lady readers, and their name is legion, we say don’t omit to give Mrs. O’Conner a call as you are making your fall and winter selections. New Millinery Establishment.— We invite attention to the advertisement of Madames Pease & Rowley in this morn ing’s Chronicle & Sentinel. These ladies have just opened a very large and varied assortment of millinery goods, and are prepared to do all kinds of work in their line. They have had considerable ex perience in their line of business, and offer a number of seasonable novelties, to which they invite the attention of tho public. Wo bespeak for them a liberal share of public patronage, assured that those who patronize these ladies will he fully satisfied. Removal.—Messrs. Geraty & Arm strong have removed their Grocery and Commission House to 293 Broad street, next door above Borrett, Carter & Co.’s Drug Store, where they arc now receiving a first-class assortment of choice groceries, liquors, etc., all of which will be sold as low as the lowest. Give them a call. The Augusta Fertilizer Manufac tory.—The Peat Beds.—ln company with our old friend,Dan Galvan, we took a ride over the grounds and a walk through the works of the Augusta Fertilizer Man ufactory on Wednesday last: and right well were we repaid for our trouble. We have heretofore alluded to this enterprise; but the Company, under the superintend ence and direction of the enterprising and energetic President, Maj. Geo. T. Jack son, has made so many improvements that another description may not bo out of place nor uninteresting. About three miles from the city, on the Georgia Railroad, the Company has pur chased a large tract of land, in which is located an extensive peat bod, from which the peat is gathered for manufacturing the fertilizer. This peat bed is very deep, a 9 foot polo failing to touch the bottom of it ,n some places. This peat is rich in veg etable and animal deposits, and, like that of Ireland, when properly dried and pre pared, is excellent for fuel. It has been thoroughly analyzed by Col. Rains, who pro nounces it equal to any in tho world in its fertilizing properties. On this tract is a spring of water, which is popularly said to bo bottomless. The peat is taken to the Railroad, whence it is hauled to the Man ufactory near tho city. THE MANUFACTORY. On the southern boundary of the city, just without the city limits, tho manufactory is located, at what is, perhaps, better known i*b the ‘‘Nitre Beds.” These beds, con taining essential fertilizing properties” themselves, are used in the manufacture of this ammonia phosphate. They have been gathered up under two large sheds, ono hundred and fifty feet in length by forty feet in width, each, and here mixed with the peat, and saturated from acouple of vats, twenty-five feet long by eighteen feet in length and ten feet deep, oach with a smaller one between them, containing the offal and carcasses procured from the city, with such other ingredients as are necessary for their consumption. Some idea of the strength of tho liquid in these vats is obtained by placing a lighted match to the surface, whereupon the gases on that surface instantly take five and blaze up. Tho liifuid is conveyed hence to the mass of earth under the sheds, which earth, mixed with peat, night soil, a com position of lime, bones, etc., is thoroughly saturated with it; and allowed to soak for several days. Alter this process is com pleted, the manure is taken to the ‘store house,where it is sifted and packed in bar rels, ready for shipment and for uso. There is, also, on the premises a large shed lull of animal bones used in this work ; an office, negro houses, &c. It is singular how little offensive tho works are—oven around the vats the smell j is so kept down as scarcely to bo per i eeptible. Tho nitre formations on the j beds are plainly visible about the mass of ! earth in the sheds ; and, by the applica- I tion of a little lime to the dirt, the strong odor of ammonia becomes very perceptible. Major Jackson is a thorough-going business man, and has devoted much capital and energy to perfecting this en terprise, and has now a yery pleasing prospect of success. He has enlisted in it the services of Colonel Bains, one of the ! most experienced chemists in America, who, with Major Jackson, visits the works nearly every day, giving them their per sonal supervision, analyzing the pro ducts, and adding constantly such im provements as experience and science j may suggest. The Major deserves j great credit for his enterprise, and, j more than that, deserves success. All ' that he now asks of the public is a fair ; and impartial trial of this Augusta Am | monia Phosphate. It contains all the in gredients essential to a first rate Fertilizer, ] and if properly applied must answer, to the j fullest extent, the purposes for which it is j intended. The enterprise is a Southern one, and a deserving one, and it ought to meet with every encouragement at the hands of our people; and, while looking around for guano, phosphates, and other fertilizers, let them give this one a fair trial, and the result wiil, no doubt, prove highly satis factory to them. In conclusion, we must not omit to ac knowledge the courtesies extended to us in our visit by Mr. Galvan and Capt. Free man, who have immediate eharge of the Works, and,by their energy and experience, add much to the success of tho enterprise. A Splendid Stock.— We took a stroll through 11. F. Russell k Co.’s extensive dry goods establishment yesterday morning, and had the pleasure of looking at one of the finest stocks of goods ever brought to this market. The store itself is handsome ly fitted up and conveniently arranged for the display of goods and the benefit of purchasers. The fine goods and fancy articles are in the front part of the estab lishment, while the heavy goods, office, and shawl department* are in the rear. Everything that is new aad recherche in this line of business can be fouad here, and prices are really low. In the way of pop lins, we observed some new and very beau tiful styles, and in silks there is a very rich • display. There is also a large assortment of the very latest styles of cloaks, and shawls ' are in great variety. The shawl room is being j fitted up so as to give the ladies the benefit lof daylight, or gaslight, as they may wish to se-o the effect on these “cover- ings' ' by both lights. In the way of panta loon stuffs, there is a large assortment — some new kinds, and, altogether, a nice selection. They have, also, a heavy stock of plantation goods, blankets, and flannels, of all qualities and at all prices ; besides a good stock of fancy goods, trimmings and other articles kept in a dry goods house. It really is worth while to take a look through this establishment; one sees so many pretty things, and, while regretting his inability to take an assortment [of all, wonders how people who have but little money can make a selection where there is so much to select from- But the ladies understand that part of the business better than we do; and so we advise them to go and take a look. They will find accommo dating clerks to show them the novel ties of the season; and if they want any thing in the dry goods line, they will not fail to find it here; so give them a call and make a selection. The pantaloon stuffs are offered at very low prices, having been bought very cheap for cash in New York ; and, in fact, as we have already stated, priqes generally are as reasonable as could be expected. J uon. jobs quincy adams. J correspondence between general WADE HAMPTON AND HON. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. The following is the correspondence which resulted in the acceptance, by lion. John Quincy Adams, of Massacusetts, by invitation of the Democratic Central Com mittee of Sovth Carolina to address the citi i zens of Richland : ; Office State Central Ex. Com., ) September 22, 1868. J I To the Hon. John Quincy Adams, Boston, Mass.: Dear Sir —We have the honor-to | make an appeal to you in behalf of our I common country. We earnestly beg that you will consent to visit us at Columbia, and deliver an address to our people. We assure you that within three days we couid have an assemblage of 10,000 people pres ent to hear the words of peace addressed by Boston to Columbia. W T hat stronger reply could there be to the misrepresenta tions of tho Radicals, than to hear “John Quincy Adams” talk of Union and fra ternal relations on the sod of South Caro lina ? Would it not be as if the past were speak ing to the present V Would it not seem as if the grave had given up her dead and hey were holding counsel of the future ? It seems to us that year visit here, re ceived as it wouid be by our people, would send an electric thrill from one end of the country to the other. We ask no holiday performances for political or party effect. We invite you to a consultation upon living principles of our free institutions. With us it is no longer a ouestion of party, but a question of social life. When the South was beaten in the field, it became her high resolve to restore and strengthen the Union. Must not every 1 sane man see that this was her oniyjpoiicy? j that the Union is now of the very last im portance to the South ? More important than to any part of the country. Must not every sane man also see that j in the very nature of things slavery is dead | forever? Has not every Southern State j nut her name and seal to the deed ? But beyond this, did not every Southern statesman see that with the result of the war slavery could not stand? That it must cease to be a domestic institution, because it had bocorne an international (so to speak) cause of war. Arc there no statesmen left among those in power who can see this? Or do they see it and are they basely using the hopes, the peace, the very life of the country to advance personal or party interests ? Lot us hope that God, in his wisdom, may turn the hearts of those who know the right, yet pursue the wrong, anu strike the scales from the eyes of others, who are really in the darkness of ignorance, and therefore easily the dupes of their better informed leaders. Pray answer us immediately, and ap point an early day for your visit here- W o shall require but short notice to make the necessary arrangements to welcome you in a becoming manner. The policy of tho South is peace —it is her only hope. You will see it with your eyes, and hear it with your ears should you aooept our invitation. If you would tele graph to us your acceptance we could be ready to meet you by the sth of October. Wednesday the 7th would probably be a better day. Very respectfully, Your fellow-citizens, Wade Hampton, Jas. Dan’l Pope, * F. W. McMaster, Jno. P. Thomas, W. B. Stanley, State Central Kx. Com,,Columbia, S. C. MR. ADAMS’ REPLY. Quinoy, Sept. 28, 18GS. _ Messrs. Wade Hampton, James Daniel Pope, F. W. McMaster, John P. Thomas and IF. B. Stanley: Gentlemen: —Your letter of Septem ber 22d reached me on the 26th, and I found it to require such careful considera tion that L have withhold my answer until now. My first impulse was to accept your invitation at once, and hasten to respond to your appeal upon the instant; but a mo ment’s reflection and a review of your let ter restrained me. lam as anxious as you can be to sec kindly relations and fraternal feelings replace the sore and angry suspi cion which prevails upon both sides of our land, nor would any labor daunt me in such a cause; hut I am more powerless than you to promote such a result. You great ly exaggerate any influence of mine, mis led, doubtless, by the accident of an his toric name. I represent nothing in Mas sachusetts hut a comparatively small and very unpopular minority, and am regarded as hardly less objectionable, though far more insignificant thau yourselves by the majority. Nothing that I could door say, if i visited you, would be likely to receive a fair or candid construction. My action would be attributed to silly or unworthy motives, and yours to the inveterate ani mosity which is still believed to animate the South. In spite of any protests of ours it will be insisted that we had some “disloyal" intent in our meeting. Ido not urge these apprehensions as reasons for an absolute refusal, for I should try to face my share of the obloquy with such fortitude as I could muster, if I saw a fair chance of aiding, be it ever so little, a better under standing between the sections. But as you seem to anticipate an important effect on the North from the reception which you might offer to me, I think it right to dis abuse you of tho error. Nor do I think that I can say those things to your people which would be delightful to them to hear, or pleasant for me to speak. Your fate lias been for tho present in volved oy the inexorable logic of events in a most bitter political struggle. _ The in terest, and I doubt not the conviction, of tho dominant party will prevent any dis passionate consideration of your case until after the election. It is declared, and I fear it is widely believed, that the spirit of secession still fires the Southern heart, and works through the Democratic party. A mass of honest men are taught and be lieve that the success of that party means the re-establishment of the genius of re volt, and the elevation to power of the Southern leaders iu the late war. Now while I do not belicye that if the wide spread suspicion of this intcut could be discharged from the minds of our people here, there would be a great difficulty in obtaining a fair hearing, it is too potent a weapon of party warfare to be relinquished during this contest for the Presidency. If the Democratic party is defeated in their canvass, it will bo Localise the people fear its success would jeopardize the substap j tial results of the war. Now upon this point the Northern mind j is absolutely determined, and no party j could maintain itself which should repu- ! diatc the war or surrender its acquisitions, : For my own part I think it would be very j difficult to get rid of any of the logical anil i legitimate results of the war if we tried to ever so hard, but still our people are very sensitive on that point. I cannot see, for instance, of what value your pet dogma of the constitutional right to secede would be to you, even if wo granted you a dispensa tion to proclaim it on the house-tops. Constitutional or not it will never again be practicable, except in the form of revolu tion, and that is an extra constitutional right which cannot be taken away from any people. Slavery 1 take to be stone dead, for the reasons you very clearly and ably state in your letter to me. It would never be of any value to you again if you had it back, and the ghost cf it, which is eo much dreaded at the North, the phan tom of involuntary servitude tor poverty and color, as a punishment for vagrancy which haunts so many well-meaning men among us, would speedily become a burden, so odious and so intolerably expensive that if for no better reason you would be glad to drop it. But at the same time you must be well aware that the hasty and in considerate legislation upon this subject in two or three of your ‘'States lately in re bellion" did more to fasten universal suf frage upon you than any other one thing. The North is well aware that there is a wide distinction between civil rights _ and political privileges, nor were our wisest aad more practical statesmen of the Re pubiican party at first inclined to adopt the dangerous experiment of placing po litical power in the hands of your poor ig norant field hands upon a mere fanciful theory of the natural equality of man. Doubtless a citizen of Massachusetts who is utterly illiterate may be my superior in all manly equalities, but unless ha can read the Constitution in the English language he is not my equal politically. Tho principle is here admitted that we may and must temper theoretical equality with practical tests of fitness for public duty. Now this was ignored in your case, 1 because it was urged and believed that i thus alone could the blacks protect them | selves, and it was’said that any admitted ! qualification would be abused by you to their total exclusion from the franchise and consequent helplessness. The North ern people, having freed the slaves and left them still mingled with their former masters, could not, with decency or hu manity, abandon them naked to the sav age enemity which they were taught’ to believe you felt to them, upr could they calmly look on to see those oppressed of whose comfort and happiness they had become the guardians. The Northern States pardoned the palpable usurpation of a power never granted to Congress upon the plea of necessity. Universal suffrage was no necessary corroilary of the war ; it was extorted by distrust, offspring of the long slavery agitation. That gave enor mous power to the ela ; politicians who preach the perfect and complete wicked* ness of the Southern white. These same men urge and they persuade many that you still cherish a devotion to the “ Lost Cause,’’ which docs not content itself with the hopeless tenderness, which we feel for the dead, but is ready to take arms aeain at the least encouragement. These fears mingle largely in the canvass, and will exert a strong influence in the result. I think that distrust and fear have dictated your terms more than malice or revenge. It was not cheerfully that the North sacri | deed the Constitution for which it fought jso long. For my own part. I have never felt any apprehension of losing any of the proper results of the war. I always be lieved that you must from necessity yield them as frankly as we claimed them. I have never doubted that it was possible to treat you after your surrender in such a way at to enlist your aid and engage your sympathies in a constitutional restoration of the Union, and yet secure freedom and fairness to the black, and tranquility and happiness to the whites. As you very forcibly say, there is no policy possible for you but peace. War now would be your utter destruction. The Union is of more value to you than to us, and to the Constitution alone can you fly for protection. A general and cordial con - fldence in your attitude, feedings and pro tests is essential to your peace and pros perity. We must renew the old spirit within us, or the aew Union wiil be an empty form. Even if by a party success in a very close vote of the North, aided by your own efforts at the South, you obtain a temporary relief from your abject state to-day, your condition wiil still be precari ous, your path full of snares, and a true Union as distant as ever. So long as ooe fcalf the North is persuaded that you have the will and the power to jockey them out of what cost them so dear, wc attempt to rebuild our Union on the sands. Time alone and a patient and enduring persistence on your part in well doing, in the face of all discouragement, can effectu ally remove the cause of your ills; a palli ative will but induce a reaction again. A cheerful concurrence in the essentia! prin ciples oi Democratic and Constituticfcal Government I regard as requisite for your peaceful progress in the future. Inclining to these opinions, I should have excused myself from accepting your kind invita tion had you not expressly disclaimed any political intent. I do not wish to »makc any political speeches to your people in the interest of any party, nor add new bitter ness to your already dangerous position. But as I have felt the (Nil very much of late that of our own knowledge we wore so littlo informed of the real needs and wishes, and purposes of each other; as I cannot feel sure that I may not be of some use, and as I deplore with all my heart the distracted and dissevered condition of our once united people, I will meet you as you request as fellow-citizens should meet, in times of difficulty, to consult with you upon our duty at this time. I shall try to speak frankly rather than agreeably, I shall hope for equal sincerity in return. I need not assure you that what I have written has been dictated by the kindest feeling. lam not insensible to your trials and sufferings; the loss of friends, pros perity and power, and exclusion from all part or lot in voting away your last pit tance is bitter indeed. But hollow as the ordinary platitudes sound in the sufferer’s ear, may it not be in the good providence of God to prove to the uttermost the quality of your people and lead them through these dark ways to a higher and nobler career beyond. I at least am determined to hope so, and I doubt not may live to see the day when we shall all be once more a happy and united people, dwelling in peace under the protection of the Constitution and within the gentle clasp of our old Union. Then indeed, South Carolina and Massachusetts may cordially embrace, and the fortunate spokesman of my State, that day, will rep resent the whole instead of a fraction of her people. I shall leave home on Monday next and proceed without delay to Columbia. I am, gentlemen, Your friend and servant, JOHN Q. ADAMS. Governor Perry’s Letter. Greenville, S. C., Oct. 1. Douglas Taylor, Esq., Chairman, &c. Dear Sir: I received, this evening, your kind invitation to be with you on the sth inst., and address your “grand mass meeting. ’ ’ I thank you most sincerely for this honor, and bo assured that nothing could give me greater pleasure than- to be present at “the enthusiastic gathering of the people which will be convened in Tam many Hall.” But’although it is impossible for me to be with you in person my heart and soul will unite with you in all your efforts to elevate to the Presidency y cur distinguish ed statesman, Horatio Seymour. I believe that the salvation of the country and the existence of our republican form of Gov ernment depend on his election. If the Radicals should carry this election 1 have no idea that the American people will ever have an opportunity of electing a con stitutional President of these United, Stales. I am justified in this conclusion by the usurpations, oppressions, tyranny, and ex travagance of the Radical party in Con gress. They have already, in utter dis regard of the Federal Constitution, strip ped the President of his highest and most legitimate prerogatives and conferred them on the Commanding General of the Army —their candidate for the Presidency. They have denied the President the power of selecting his own Cabinet, or dismissing from office those who have proved recreant and betrayed their trusts. They have en croached on the Judiciary Department of the Government, and refused to let the Supreme Court of the United States de cide on the constitutionality of their legis lation. They have struck down at one blow, ten sovereign States of this Union, and hold them under military despotism. They have disfranchised the white race in the Southern-States and enfranchised the negroes. I feel assured that if the Northern peo ple could only see, or be made sensible of tho miserable condition of their fellow citizens and kinsmen of the South, they would not sustain a party ip power who had brought this great calamity of negro supremacy on one-third of the Republic. In the Legislature of South Carolina there are eighty negroes and only forty white members in the House of Representatives. The greatest part of these forty white legis lators nre the lowest and worst of men, without property, intelligence or character, and were elected by the negroes. Their legislation has been wild, extravagant and attrocious. Paying no taxes themselves, and their constituency, by whom they were elected, paying nothing into the Treasury, they ma;ie appropriations and levied taxes which will bankrupt the State. But their legislation in other respects is still worse and more alarming. They have authorized the suspension of that bulwark of Anglo-Saxon liberty, the writ of habeas corpus, and have authorized the raising of a standing force of negro troops, its viola tion of tho Constitution cj the United States, which forbids a State keeping a standing army. Under these laws this negro government will have the power of imprisoning any citizen without warrant or .accusation as long as they please, whilst a negro force‘will be left to insult and out rage his ffimiiy ana plunder and destroy his property. In the meantime the State will be, as j tho whold South must be, utterly impov- j erished and desolated. Instead of being ; an advantage to the North, as the South- j ern States formerly were, they will be an j expense —an incubus on their industry, ; cmwgy and enterprise. We arc paying j little or nothing toward the support of the ; Federal Government, and we are unable to pay as long as this negro rule continues. We arc without capital to cultivate our lands, and capital will not come here for investment whilst this negro government continues. Thera is no security for life or property. The newspapers are filled with houses and barns burnt, property stolen and persons murdered. In the time of peace wc see all over the South Federal troops kept up at an enor mous expense, to Imop the white race in subjugation to negro government—a gof ernment which, if continued, will make the whole South a Hayti or San Domingo. We have, too, a Frecdmon’s Bureau throughout the Southern States, whose sole purpose is to prejudice the freedmen against their former masters, and unite them to the Radical party. This Bureau is paid for by the North, and costs the Government ten or fifteen millions annual ly. Why should the white people of the Northern States pay enormous and crush ing taxes to establish negro governments i over their own race throughout the South? Why should they keep up a standing army here, for the purpose of maintaining those governments ? The only purpose which the jßadical party have in creating and continuing this unnatural despotism is to perpetuate their own progress as a party. In order to ob tain their ill-gotten authority, and keep control of the Government, they are willing to make one-third of the republic an Ireland or a Poland. Peace there never can be at the South, while negro suprem aey *is maintained here by Federal bayo nets. It is impossible that a brave, intel ; ligent, and patriotic people can wiiiingly | submit to such degradation and tyranny, i It is not human nature to do so. As an oid Union man I can say with | truth that the Southern people accepted \ in good faith the results of the war. and would have been as ioya!_ to the federal ! Government as New York cr_ Massa i chusotts if thfy had been restored to the Union under the Constitution. They abolished slavery and were determined to give their former slaves equal protection j with themselves in the enjoyment qf all | their civil rights. When the freedmen ! showed thSmseives capable of exercising political rights, they were willing to confer j them also. But at present they know, i and the negro knows, that he is incapable | of exercising prudently and wisely the | political rights of a citizen. the ' carpet-baggers who have come here from the Northern take charge of the negroes : and assume the government of the coun try. The freedmen are now as much I political slaves to these carpet-baggers as , they fomerly were ikimc.de slaves of their ' former owners Instead of meeting fairly the issues in -1 volved in this Presidential anvass : md de fending their usurpation, tyranny and prodigal extravagance, the Radical party are trying to make the election turn on the past issues of the war. In order to do this they appeal to the prejudices" of the North against the rebels at the South. At the same time they are receiving into full fellowship and hugging to their bosom the meanest and vilest of those rebels who have joined their party. In a recent act of this Radical Congress they removed the disabilities of ten -or fifteen hundred “ red handed rebels,” and declared them worthy of holding office because they hail joined the Radical party. Such men as Gov. Holden, of North Carolina, and Gov. Brown, of Georgia, who were at the begin ning et the war the fiercest and most un compromising secessionists, Lave been made loyal citizens, whilst Governor Worth, of North Carolina, Governor Jenkins, of Georgia, and myself, who .were always Union men, are repudiated because wc will not give in our adhesion to the Rad ical party. He who betrays his race, his country, his principles and his God, is wor thy of office in the Radical party, and no longer a “red-handed rebel.” I am happy to inform you that the Democracy of the South, tne old Union men, and all the secessionists of principle and honor, Republicans birth and edu cation, and lovers of the Federal Consti tution, are up and doing. We shall carry for Seymour and Blair, beyond a doubt, the States of North Carolina, Georgir, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, and Vir ginia. We are making a great effort to carry South Carolina, also. _ The colored people are losing confidence in their carpet baggers and scalawags, who have told them nothing but lies, and have fulfilled no promise made them. Thousands of the colored people in South Carolina will vote with their former owners, and a much larger number wilt not vote at all in the Presidential election. At the North this election is a contest between liberty and despotism, but at the South it is a question of life or death, and we so regard it. Yours truly, B. F. Perry. HON. 2. 11. HILL ON THE POLITICAL SIT UATION. New York. Oct. 3, 1868. To the Editor of the Herald : In the Herald of this morning is an ar ticle headed “Southern Democratic Lead ers in New York,” and among the number my own name is mentioned. Allow me, first of ali, to say I am no party leader; never have been, never ex pect to be. Allow me, in the next place, to say I 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 I could, the exact temper, views and purposes of the Northern people and the probable re sult of the political contest now being waged. To one who has studied and learn ed to admire the system of American government, Federal and State, limited and reserved with harmonious boundaries fixed for each by plainly written constitu tions, the examination has not been en couraging. Shaken to its foundation by a criminal war occasioned by a fanatical discussion about the rights and capacities of some savages imported as chattels for specula tion from the jungles of Africa, the ques tion now is, whether these savages, being now confessedly free and certainly greatly improved by Southern, masters, this great system of government can again be made harmoniously stable and tho freedom»of the white race maintained and of all races perpetuated ? I find the Republicans meeting this great question by proposing to “maintain and perpetuate” measures which are “outside of the Constitution,” which avowedly seek to disfranchise and degrade white people for no reason but that of a vindictive hatred of section against section, and which pretend, in tho most unnatural way, to elevate the negro by leading him, ignorant and credulous, promisingly to equality, but really to ruin, as the butcher tempts with the bundle of hay deluded sheep to the slaughtermen. I find the Democrats meeting this most palpable insanity of the Republicans by exhausting all their powers upon a cent per cent argument about bßnds, gold and greenbacks. I find the capitalists, more insane than tho political leaders, taking sides with the Republicans in this issue, and are lavishly spending their means _to maintain and perpetuate measures which subvert the government and destroy the industrial energies of the country in order to make the government stable and its resources ample _ to .pay their bonds. Ministers of religion are executing their noble commissions as peacemaker by abandoning the gospel and urging their hearers to join in the work of maintaining a policy whose only fruits in the past have been and whose only fruits in the future can be riots, hate and bloodshed.' Amid all this Babel discord of politeai and moral confusion of the Northern people, I find but few who seem to remenber that those who arc chosen to administer it must be sworn “to support, potent and defend it.” It is most significaat that in the whole Chicago platform anl the letters of acceptance from the nomimes theroon this constitution is not mentiored nor even alluded to. Its builders remeubered there was a Constitution. I have hard and read long speeches from notorious (called dis tinguished) political loaders, who, I do believe, have never so much as read the Constitution, _ and most certainly have not read its history nor understood its meaning. Statesmen have abandoned the Constitu tion, clergymen have abandoned the Bible, and the people are losing both freedom and religion. Nothing in the North—not even its greater cities and wonderful material developments—stands oqt cq prominently to view as this startling truth. If the Union can bo cordially restored and the resources of the country thereby be developed, this government will be able to pay the existing debt, even if three times as great as reported. In this contingency there need be no debate as to whether the debt shall he paid in currency or gold, for then tiio credit of the Government wiil be restored and currency will be equal to gold. If the Union cannot be cordially re stored, and the resources of the country thereby be permitted to be developed, the existing debt will pot h.O paid, nay, not ten cents on the dollar, for m that event the resources of tho country will be consumed in a process of subverting the Government, and some other government, which did not contract the debt will take its place cither in the form of red republican anarchy or a military dictatorship. * How can the Union be cordially restored? By returning to the constitution. How will the government be subverted? By the American people deckling to “main tain and perpetuate” a policy outside of tho constitution. Inside of the constitu tion a Union, freedom, increased prosper ity, restored credit and bonds payable. Outside of the constitution Union, free dom, prosperity and credit will perish together. The Reconstruction policy of Congress has cost hundreds of millions already. It i has lessened the productions, of the South ! one hundred millions ea«h year of its ex istent. it has depreciated the value of' Southern property to one fourth its value in 1866. It will cost the. Federal govern ment hundreds of millions more to “main tain and perpetuate” this “assured sue-! cess,” this wholesale destruction. It will I lessen the productions of the South more ; than one hundred millions per annum, '■ and, wickedly enticing the poor negroes from the fields of plenty into loyal leagues of hate and into armed companies of death, will for years desolate the South. Can you maintain the Union, promote prosperity, restore good will, stimulate philanthropy, modify Southern temper, restrain “rebel- outrages” and pay the bonds by “maintaining and perpetuating” such a policy ? But I am told that the victorious North is ready to fight again and millions of “boys in blue” will march under their great leader, General (then President) Grant, and “make the con quered rebels submit te this negro equali ty and social ruin.” You will? Bravo! Bet courageous fool: answer me, how will that restore the Union and pay the bonds ? It is so brave for these, well equipped and after a long, hard struggle to encounter one poorly equipped and then boast about it and call that one_ a coward, and so magnanimous to crush that one and force him to accept that equality with the negro which the Northern States re pudiate for themselves. Stop all this new form of treason, and stop the miserable policy of reconstruction which is its fruit. The South wants peace. She is impover ished and needs it. She was promised it on terms of equality if she would surren der and is entitled to it. See has kept her Appomattox bond in good faith, and every Northern soldier is, in honor, her endors er while she keeps that bond. Will they join and will their chief lead the politicians in this negro assault on the peace of the South and the honor of the North ? Take ‘ away these carpet-baggers and send us the I laborers, farmers, machinists and capital- I ists of the North tv taking away this | miserable reconstruction policy which sends us the first and keeps away the last. We have peaceful, fertile, cheap houses for 30,000,000 of Northern people who will come to help us build up the country j whose sky is the brightest and whose i fruits are the sweetesc on the earth. But we have no place for a white carpet-bag ger who comes to take control of the negro and breed hale and strife to get office. Among your hundreds of thousands of readers are bankers, brokers, millionaires, merchants, skillful accountants and learned gentlemen. Can you induce them to solve the following problems: How effectually can the Union under the Constitution be restored by measures out side of the Constitution ? How long will it take to pay the public debt by expending hundreds of millions to destroy the industry of the eountry, and in maintaining by the bayonet a policy ' outside of the Constitution, which the bayonet, negroes and salsa -courts alone es tablished ? How long will it taka to improve the temper of the Southern people by con tinuing the policy which alone has dis turbed that temper sir,ce the surrender, and which every day t eeps their persons, their property and th eir families in dan ger of pillage, rape, -and burning? Os what value is lit to the North to force upon the South go vernments which will enable deluded negroes to select for South Carolina and Georgia Governors and liep resentatives from Vermont and Massa chusetts? You say General Grant will be elected. Possibly so. I cannot fix a limit to fanati cal infatuation. If he snail be elected and shall administer the Constitution according to his oath he will have no more cordial supporters than the Southern people. If he shall administer the Chicago platform, as he stands pledged contrary to his oath, he may find submissive subjects, but no honest supporters at the South and no free constituency in America. 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 exercised by Illinois. Will a President chosen from Illinois con cede that claim according to the Constitu tion, or will he deny it according to the Chicago platform ? With a pledge to carry out the platform, without even an allusion to the Constitu tion either in the platform or in the pledge, will the people of America risk the rights and the freedom of every man merely to confer an empty honor on one man, how ever great? B. H. Hill. . New York, August 7, 186S. Mr. Editor : —Several of your cor respondents, very old and respectable no doubt, seem to be wonderfully exercised as to the origin of our Plantation Bit ters. So long as theselßitters are all that wc represent them to be, we do not know that it makes any difference from whom they come, or from whence they originated; but for the information of the public gen erally, and old Copt. Wentz in particular, we will say that he told the truth, and that these Bitters originated in the West India Islands—that many of the ingre dients have been favorably used for over a century, but our combination ot Calbiaya is entirely new, and our own. The rum and other materials are the same, and as your correspondent says, a better Bitters and Tonic is not made. We recommend them particularly for dyspeptics, fever and ague, debility, loss of appetite, and in all cases where a touic and stimulant is re quired. P. 11.
