Young, for a copy of his very able
speech, delivered in the House of Rep

Amendment.
It is a matter of general congratula
tion that the people of our Congressional
District find in Gen Young, so able and
zealous a Representative. May his
light never grow less:
We give his concluding paragraphs :
Sir, we want peace; that peace you
so long promised us, that peace which is
guarantied by the Constitution, and
which to-uay is enjoyed by the
people of every State iu the North and
in the West. We only ask to be per
mitted to participate in the Govern
ment, and to feel that it is our Govern
ment as well as yours. Restore to us
our old Govermcnt; we wish to be citi
zens of none other. We want no other
Government ; it is the Government of
our fathers and of yours; it is the Gov
ernment we desire to transmit to our pos
terity. The Government of the United
States administered according to the
Constitution I believe is the best Gov
ernment in the world.
For one, sir, I can say without suc
cessful contradiction that since the fall
of the banner of the lost cause I have la
bored zealously to smooth over the bit
ior ness and the asperities of the past,
and I have douc all in my power to bring
peace, quiet, and harmony to our distract
ed country. Lawless acts have been
committed in some localities of the
South, hut to no such extent as has been
alleged so often in this House. Law
less acts occur everywhere. They are
not produced in the South from any
-pint of disloyalty to the Government;
they are but the natural offspring of op
pression, insult, and outrage, perpetrated
ipon the people, and for which they have
no legal redress.
Mr. Speaker, there is a remedy for all
Diese troubles. Restore to those people
their rights under the Constitution ; re
vt-re to them the responsibilities of* cit
zenship in the Government; extend to
them the hand of fellowship, and let
them know that they are once more re
-tored ti» lhe confidence of the Govern
ment. Lift from them all their legal
tool political disabilities pard n all their
political offenses. Then, sir, you will
have a country, not only bound together
by its mountains, ib* rivers, its laws, and
its common interests, but a country and
:. Government bound and cemented by
the affections of its. people. Pardon
them. It is the spirit of peace; It is
the spirit of justice; it is the spirit of
charity; it is the command of God.

The National Democracy.

9™**
Washington, April 20.—The Dem
ocrats in Congress have just issued the j
following address to the people of the !
United States :
Our presence and official duties at
Washington have enabled us to become
fully acquainted with the actions and |
designs of those who control the Radi
cal party, and we feel called upon to ut- i
ter a few words of warning against the j
alarming strides they have made towards j
centralization of power in the hands of
Congress and the Executive. The lime !
and attention of the Radical leaders
have been almost wholly directed to de
vising such legislation as will in their
view best preserve their ascendancy, and
no regards for the restraints imposed by
the Constitution has checked their reck
less and desperate career.
The President of the United States
has been formally announced as a candi-
date for re-election. The declaration of j
his selfish supporters, have been re-is- j
sued by a subsidized press, and the dis
cipline of the party has already made
adhesion to his personal fortunes the
supreme test of political fealty. The
partisan legislation to which we refer
was decreed and shaped in secret caucus,
where extremest counsels always domi
nate, and were adopted by a subservient
majority, if not with the intent, cer
tainly, with the effect to place in the
hands of the President the power to
command his own renomination, and to
employ the army, navy and militia at
his sole discretion, and as a means of
subserving his personal ambition.
When the sad experience of the last
two years, so disappointing to the hopes
and generous confidence of the country,
is considered in connection with the vi
olent utterances and rash purposes of
those -who control the Presidential pol
icy, it is not surprising that the gravest
apprehensions for the future peace of
the nation should be entertained. At a
time when labor is depressed and every
material interest is palsied by oppressive
taxation, public offices have been multi
plied beyond all precedent to serve as
instruments in the perpetuation of power.
Partisanship is the only test applied to
the distribution of this vast patronage.
, Honesty, fitness, and moral worth are
openly discarded in iavor of truckling
; submission and dishonorable compliance.
Hence enormous defalcations and wide
spread corruption have followed as the
natural consequences of this pernicious
system. By the official report of the
Secretary of the Treasury it appears
that after the deduction of all proper
credits, many millions of dollars remain
due from ex-collectors of internal reve
nue, and no proper diligence has ever
! been used to collect them.
Reforms iu the revenue and fiscal sys
! terns which all experience demonstrates
i to be necessary to the frugal adminis
tration of the government, as well as a
measure of relief to an overburdened
people, have been persistently postponed
adjourns without having even attempted
to reduce taxation or to repeal the glar
ing impositions by which industry is
crushed and impoverished. The treas
ury is overflowing, and an excess of
eighty millions of revenue is admitted,
and yet, instead of some measure to pre
sent relief, a barren and delusive resolu
tion is passed by the Senate to consider
the tariff and excise systems hereafter,
as if the history of broken pledges and
unapplied remedies furnished any bet
ter assurance for future legislation than
experience has done in the past. Ship
building and the car-ying trade, once
sources of national pride and prosperity,
now languish under the crushing load
of taxation, and nearly every other bus
iness interest is struggling without pro
fit to maintain itself. Our agricultural
ists, while paying heavy taxes on all
they consume, either to the government
or monopolists, find the price for their
ow r n products so reduced, that honest
labor is denied its just reward, and in
dustry is prostrated by invidious dis
criminations.
Nearly 2.000,000 of acres of public
lands which should have been reserved
for the benefit of the people, have been
voted away to grants and corporations,
neglecting our soldiers and enriching a
handful of greedy speculators and lob
byists. who are thereby enabled to exer
cise most dangerous and corrupting in
fluence in our State and Federal legis
lation. If the career of those conspira
tors be not checked the downfall of free
government is inevitable, and with the
elevation of a military dictator on the
ruins of the republic. Under the pre
tense of passing law’s to enforce the fif
teenth amendment, and for other pur
poses, Congress has conferred the most
despotic powers upon the Executive, and
provided an official machinery by which
the liberties of the people are menaced
and the sacred right of local self-gov
ernnent in the States is ignored, if not
tyrannically overthrown, by laws so odi
ous that they are at variance with all
the sacred theories of our institutions.
The construction, given by these II a di
es 1 interpreters ox the fourteenth amend
ment, to use the language of an eminent
Senator (Tiumbuil, of Illinois,) is the
annihilation of the States. Uuder the
last enforcement bill the Executive may
in his discretion thrust aside the gov
ernment of any State, suspend the writ
of habeas corpus, arrest its Governor,
imprison or disperse the Legislature, si
lence its judges and trample down its
people under the armed heel of its troops. ;
Nothing is left to the citizens of a State ;
which can any longer be called a right.
Our hopes ibr redress are in the calm \
good sense and sober second thought of
the American people. We call upon
them to be true to themselves and to \
their past, and disregarding party names ;
and minor differences, to insist on doeen- j
tralization of power, the restriction of
the Federal authority within its just
and proper limits, leaving to the States
that control of tlicir domestic affairs,
which is essential to their happiness, j
tranquillity and good government. Ev- j
erything that malicious ingenuity could j
suggest has been done to irritate the j
people of the Middle and Southern *
Ft ii'-s and • Xfurgeratod charges
of disorder and violence owe their ori
gin to the mischievous minds of the po
litical managers in the Senate and House
of Representatives, to which the Exec
utive has, we are sorry to sav. lent his
aid, and thep have helped to inflame
popular fi-cling. In all this course of
j hostile legislation and harsh resentment
jno word of conciliation,-of kind eneour
■ agement or fraternal fellowship has ever
been spoken by the President or by
j Congress to thw people of the Southern
j States. They have been addressed only
| in language of proscrition.
We earnestly entreat our fellow-citi
zens in all parts of the Union to spare
no effort to maintain peace and order,
to carefully protect the rights of every
citizen, to preserve kindly relations
among all men and to discountenance
and discourage any violation of the
| rights of any portion of the people se
! cured under the Constitution or any of
i its amendments.
Let us in conclusion earnestly beg of
: you not to aid the present attempt of
the Radical partisans to stir up strife in
| the land, to renew the issues of the war,
j or to obstruct the return of peace or
j prosperity to the Southern States, be-
cause it is thus that they seek to divert
the attention of the country from the
corruption and extravagance of their ad
ministration of public office, and the
dangerous and profligate attempts they
are making towards the creation of a
centralized military government. In
five years of peace following war the
Radical administration have expended
$1,200,000,000 for ordinary purposes
alone, being within $200,000,000 of
the aggregate amount spent for the
same purposes in war and in peace du
ring seventy-oife years preceding June
30, 1861, not including in either case
the sum paid upon the principal or in
Merest of flic public debt It is trifling
with the intelligence of the people for
the radical leaders to pretend that
this vast sum has been honestly expend
ed. Hundreds of millions of it
have been wantonly squandered.—
The expenditures of the Government
for the fiscal year ending June 30,1861,
were only $62,000,000, while for pre
cisely the same purposes the civil list,
army and navy, pensions and Indians
$164,000,000 were expended during
the fiscal year ending J une 10, 1870.
No indignation can be too stern, and no
scorn too severe for the assertion by un
scrupulous Radical leaders that the Dem
ocratic and Conservative party of the
Union has or can have any sympathy
with disorders or violence in any part of
the country, or in the deprivation of
any man of his rights under the Consti
tution. It is to protect and perpetuate
the rights which every freeman cherish
es, to revive in all hearts the feeling of
friendship, affection and harmony which
are the best guarantees of law and order,
and to throw around the humblest citi
zen, wherever herriay be, the protection
of these safe guards of personal safety
which are the fundamental laws of the
land, that we invoke the aid of all good
men in the work of peace and reconcil
iation We invite their generous co-op
eration irrespective of all former differ-
i voice of discord may be"'"relieved ; that
! anew and dangerous sectional agitation
j may be checked ; that the burdens of
taxation, direct or indirect, may be re
-1 duced to the lowest point consistent
I with the good faith due every just na
! tional obligation; and with a strictly eco
nomical administration of the Govern
ment, and that the States may be re
stored in their integrity and true rela
tions to our Federal Union.
Here follow the signatures of all the
Democratic Senators and most of the
Representatives.
Eloquent Appeal.—The Honorable
Samuel S. Cox, concluded bis speech on
the Ku Klux bill, in the following elo
quent appeal to the Radical majority
! to desist from their bloody work :
By all the lessons I have culled from
! history; by the graces which have paci
fied nations heretofore; by the perils of
smothered revenge and secret circles
which 1 denounce; by our homes and
| institutions ; by all that is ennobling in
thought and ignoble in mere force, I
ask you not to tempt the coming party
by such excesses of power. Do not
teach us bloody instructions! Lead us
not into temptation ! You perceive that
your shroud and grave are making
You need not put your ear to the earth
to hear the tramp of the coming
Democracy, for you must have felt that
the constant neglect of urgent duties
here, as to taxation, commerce, and am
nesty, are demoralizing and destruc
tive. I pray you to pause on the brink.
This legislation will rebound. Save us.
the horrors which follow such inconsid
erate tampering with our traditional
and written liberties. Save yourselves,
if not your country You have in your
ranks men of splendid reputation and
ability. Many have left and are leaving
you whom you were once proud to claim.
In their honor do not cut your blos
soms of the past off from the parent stem.
Save the country as a hand of States,
not as a banditti of roving mercenaries
or Paris Reds. I make my prayer to
God for that mercy which we shall need
in that hour when the execution of such
a vindictive law as this is executed by
the will of an absolute dictator, at the
behest of a party. I make my appeal
to you for that Constitution we are all
sworn to support. It may be that our
Constitution is like what someone says 1
of the Black Prince, too heavy to be I
wielded by the pigmies of our time;:
but if it is only a relic in the sanctuary, ;
let it be an object of reverence for what
it was. if not a term for what is—hon
orable in its rust, if not in its edge.

Great Victory.
St Louis sends greeting to the I nlbn.
For the first time in over ten years
the citv of St. Louis, lately disfran
chised and dishonored, elects a Demo
cratic Mayor, and by a vote that indi
cates her permanent redemption trom
the thralldom of Radical tyranny and
the spoliation of Radical venality.
Her gallant Democracy have met the
‘•reunited” Republicans at the polls
and put them to overwhelming rout.— j
he home of Grant repudiates, by a sig
nal majority, the policy of his adminis
tration. The great principles which he i
has abandoned and betrayed have been
triumphantly vindicated iu the chief j
city of the West. The voice of St. !
Louis is the voice of Missouri. Against j
the further proscription of honest citi
zens ; against the worse than Rus
sian rule of the bayonet which the Rad
ical party has inaugurated; against the
infamous Ku Klux legislation; against
the San Domingo swindle ; against the
, fraud, corruption and folly that pervade
! every department of the Government, it
! yesterday proclaimed to the country the
emphatic protest of freemen determined
to rescue their country from the sway of
the reckless partisans who have so long
trampled upon the liberties and trifled
with the vital interests of the people.
The victory which the Democratic
party of St. Lon is, by dint of bold and
legitimate effort, in the face of desper-
ate and unscrupulous odds—backed by
the promises, bribed wbh the money or
dictated to by the menaces of the Wash- j
ington junta-carries with it a significance j
that will be felt not only in the length
and breadth of the Mississippi valley,
but sweep, like the inspiration of power,
throughout tlio reactionary elements of
the country, from one end of the Union
to the other
It is an assurance to the friends of
political liberty everywhere that in the
great national struggle of the year to
come the Democratic party of Missouri
will be found shoulder to shoulder with
the Democracy of New Hampshire and
Connecticut —of the East and South
and West —true to the principles of
their common faith and faithful to the
destinies of a restored,regenerated Union

WATCHES.
The extenaire uae of thwc watches for ti,„
fast fifteen years by Railway Conductors, En-
and Expressmen, the most exactin
of watch-wearers, has thoroughly
•tt-ated llie strength. *toadincs«, durability
and accuracy of the Waltliaa Watch* fi,
satisfy that class in all those respects j* to
decide the question as the real value of these
time-keepers.
More than 000.000 of these watches ar „
now speaking for them selves in the pockets of
the people—a proof and a guarantee ofthrr
superioritp over all others.
The superior organization and great e*.
tent oTlheCompany's works at Waltham, en
ables them to produce watches at a price
1 which renders competition futile, and those
who buy any other watch merely pay from ‘M
i to oO per cent, more for their watches than u
! necessary.
These time-pieces combine every improve
ment that a long experience lias proved of re
al practical use. Having had the refusal
nearly every invention in watch-making orig
inating in this country or in Europe, onlv
those were Anally adopted which severe test
ingby the most skilful! artisans in our works
and long use on the part of the public, dem
onstrated to be essential to correct and en
during time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we tvo*-M
particularize:
The invention aud use of a centre-pinion
of peculiar construction, to preveut damage
to the train by the breakage of mainsprings,
is original with the American Watch Compa
ny, who, having had the refusal of all other
contrivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion
as being the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now
universally admitted by watchmakers to he
the best, arc used in all grades of Wallium
watches.
All Waltham watches have dust-proof caj s
protecting the movement ffom dust, aud les
sening the necessity of the frequent clearing
necessary in other watches.
Ou new patent stem-winder, or keyless
watch, is already a decided success, and a
great improvement ou any stem-winding
watch in the American market, and by far the
cheapest watch of its vitality now offered to
the public. To those living in portionsof the
United States where watchm ikers do not
abound; watches with the above mentioned
improvements w hich tend to insure accuracy
cleanliness, durability and convenience, uniat
prove invaluable.
