C Of Congressmen the Conservatives have ,. elected fire and probably six of the eight \to which the State is entitled, with a majority on joint ballot in the legislature of at least fifty. One year ago the Graxt men carried the state by a majority a little short of 10,000, showing a most extraordinary ohange in public sentiment. Under all the circumstances, the triumph over the powers of the federal government in North Carolina, is the and satisfactory of any ever achieved in the history of Amerjcan politics, It establishes the fact that there yet remains in the hearts of the people matic attempt on the p holders, all through ; cP ago <the Grauzr par resmeral 1 WJ, Binks, Greeley and Trumbull are rejoic f ing that the forward movement of the joice that m like yourself, h are st Tou ggtirely misunderstand me when you introduge an incident of the Fm mg erted and sysate. t of the office.

They include plagemen in high and low positions, from the Paymaster who pookets $500,000, to the lefter.carrier who &lches currency from an envelope. Nor have they been punished.

The policy adopt-elf! by the half-sivilized Mexican ruler form's the leading idea in the present presidential campaign. For seven years alter our civil war onded,the friends of Justice and Equal Rights sought in yain to hive the disabilities of the South removed,. and her white citizen restored to a condifiion of equality with their former slaves. This policy was sternly resisted until the Cincinpati movement warinaugurated. Asa matter of necessity, not df choice, tho Graxr majority in Cougress then passed a par- tial sot of amueaty.{ It was pmsed with hesitation and reluotance, not as an act of justice but ss a matter of policy. It was extorted from mon through their fears. The firm and conaistent course pur- sued by Mr. G since the close of the war, on the question of universal amnesty has done more than all elso be- sides to commend) him to the favor of Deamoorats,. On this point his record is clear and unmistakable, His groat paper has given no uncerthin sourd, And-this is the main the present cam- paign. All the old questions are aetiled and disposed of. This is the least one of the long array of gectional issues which have sgitated the country. And this will be settled by the trinmphant election of Horace Grarner}, secured as an act of justice for his bold denunciation of the wrongs inflicted on t prostrate and help less people,. R ~ His election will heal the last wound of tho civil war. It ;will restore harmony between the sections by putting all men on a perfect cquality before the law. The Mexicao President understood the advantages to fow from universal smner ty and proclaimed it before the last in- surgent had laid down bisgrms. Unlike the men who had controlled the politics fof this nation singe the war, country to bim was more than party, Hesought not his own saggrandizement but the good of the people orer whom he was aociden tally placed. We have been accustomed to look upon the Minion people as unft for self garernment, Their history is foil of tumult and revplution; nevertheless, there is among therm one statesman who ment. $ Elizur Wright, the venerable Massa- | chusetts Republican, puts a hard gonun:- drum to Secretary Boutwell when he asks him, in a recont leifér, what \the admin- } istration has given he Southern States in i compensation for the $200,000,000 it has robbed tyem of by keeping swindlers in 'power by the gid of federal bayonets.\ Bontwell might as well give it up. by Gazette thinks the in danger of electing a Democrat. to Con ,; and thereupon ture,.

But besides Democrats there will bae liberal Republicans pledged like- wise and also your peculiar associates, who, I trust, will not beiray the cause. Senators anti representatives calling themselves Repub icans have been lat- torly in a large majority in both houses, bit the final messure of civil rights to which you refer, though urged by mo als most daily, has failed to becomes a law, - less I fear from. Democratic opposition than from Republican lokewarmness and the want of support in the President. The groat issues which the people ars called to decide in November, is on theo President ; and nobody knows better than yourself that the house of represen- tatives choson at the same tims will nat urally harmonizp with him. Bo it has been in our history. Now,harmony with Horace Greeloy Involves what I most de- sire. With such a President, Con will be changed. For the first time aince the war, the equal rights of all will have a declared represontatito at the head of tho government whoso presence there will be of higher nignificance than that of any victor of war, being not only n testi- mony, but a constant motive power in this great caosy,. Opposition, whether open hostility oar more subtle treachery, will yield to the steady influence of such a representative. 2 Therefore, in looking to tho president, I look also to congress which W5.) take its character in a large measure, from him. In thoosing Horace Greeley, we do the best we can for tho whole government, mot only in thp executive bat in the logislative branch, while wo dealine to support neopotisto,repay ment of personal gifts by official pgzmnage, toizuro of the war powers and Indignity to the black republic and the various incapacity ex- hibited by the president end the rings by whigh he dgoverm, - none of which cap you defend. i You know weil that the rings are al- ready condemneil by tho American peo- ple. For myaelg I say piling and with- out hesitation, that I prefer HoracoGrea ley with sny Congress possible on the Cincinnat: platform, to President Grant with his protenslons and his rings, avota pretensions, with prolonged power in all the rings. There must bo another infin- ence and another example, The admip- istration in all its parts is impressed by the President. “In: his soul bo enlarged 0 f justice, quiskan bi industry, and not only the two kouses of Congress, but the whole country will feel the irresistable suthority overspreading, provading, permicating everwhere.
