THE ELECTION. FuctN nn1 for NtuileittM of the lolUivnl SI million. cicnt citizens to secure continued exorcise of power. Tho character of a Pennsylvania candidate for Governor has been certified by a felon pardoned from the ponitcntiary to fierform the work in hand. Registration ists havo been swollen, and colonization has been perfected, with an effrontery to 75,523 for president 1808, Seymour 42,400, Grunt 70,408 for governor in 1800, democratic 89,033, radical 51,814 for governor in 1870, democratic 45,780 radical 54,010 for governor in 1871, democratic 45,578, radical 58,285 for governor in 1873, democratic 55,124, radical 72,172.

Maryland elects congressmen and electors. Since 1800, slio lias given democratic majorities ranging from 15,000 to 43,000. The following arc tho candidates for the ties may have to be fought in order to drive a strong and vicious party from power, but all this will not dishearten earnest men, who, though they hesitated at first, finally embraced this cause, and determined after careful thought that it was good enough to live or die with. Mr. Greeley is merely one man among millions engaged in it no more.

He may be elected or defeated, but tho cause will survive and go forward. It has in it the elements of enduring vitality, and it will not be buried by the falling leaves of this autumn, It represents all tho cardinal ideas of free government. It proclaims the supremacy of the civil authorities over the sinister and menacing usurpations of a military administration. It asserts the sucredness of that great instrument of human liberty, the writ of habeas corpus, and declares that it must be upheld beyond the reach of aspiring tyrants who would otriko it down. It pronounces in favor of tho Jefferson-ian doctrine of local self-government, and againBt that concentration of the powers of the people and the states in the bands of the federal government, which was de locate tho capital at a plnco having tho most votes; (2) to limit nnd define tho power of the legislature in making land grants.

She votes for tho following candidates for congrcss-at-largo R. Q. Mills and A. II. Willie (ds) and L.

She gave a conservative majority for governor in 1869 of and for congress in 1870, a conservative majority of 0,901. West Virginia chooses electors only. Her votes have been as fpllowa 1808, governor, democratic 22,218, radical 1808, president, Seymour 20,300, Grunt 29,025 1870, democratic, 20,940 radical 1871, on convention, 30,589 democratic, 27,088 radical 1872, largely democratic, but we have not the vote before us. Wisconsin votes upon constitutional proposition to enlarge the supreme court, for congressmen, and for 'electors. Her former votes have been 1808, president, Seymour 84,707, Grant 108,857 1869, governor, 01,203 democratic, 69,478 radical 1870, superintendent of instruction, 08,908 democratic, radical 1871, governor, 68,910 democratic, 78,301 radical.

Note. In the above, (d) is for democrat, (1) for liberal, and (r) for radical. We have not given the names of thecandidates for congross iu the respective districts of tho several states, for want of room. experience of every farmer lias taught him at what season tho rains are most advantageous to all tho crops ho may havo cultivated. It is only necesary for him to know when, and how much rain may be expected.

Ho will then know not only when to plont, but also what to cultivate. Again, as before remarked, undcrdrainago and deep subsoiling are recommended as extremely valuable to every agriculturist everywhere, and under all circumstances. This is unquestionably a good practice in tho right place in others not needed, and in many a disadvantage. "In wot land, especially when the fall of water is excessive, it is perhaps a necessity. But in dry ground, certainly if thero bo but a small supply of rain, tho draining would be a disadvantage but deep plowing and irrigation would bo desirable.

This is enough to suggest tho probablo advantages from the experiments proposed. We fear many will say it is too troublesome, or two expensive, and I cannot afford to undortako it. But, my friends, it is neither one or the other. It will cost you neither time nor money, but will save you both. After you havo used the rain cup little while, you will no more send your hands to plow ground too wet, but will send them at once to more suitable work, and save the time of sending plows to the field.

You will know when to send your force to look after water gaps, and washed down fences. "What, do you suppose the rain, cup (which is. to save you much time, besides other advantages which we expect to result from its general use) will cost you Simply this much and no more A post seven feet long, six or eight inches in diameter, set in the ground in some open tiii; uivovac or the imhap.

Subsequently he resigned from the army, and was for sometime connected with Journalism, first as one of the editors of the Lon-, Isvllle Times, and afterwards holding an editorial position on the Mobile Register.

I give Mr. Hamilton Bwagg at length, for he is the hero of our bit of romance. He met his fate, and better one than be deserved, leaving out tho million accumulated from the patent pain extractor. It came abont in this wise: Miss Addle L. has been, I was going to write, timo out of mind, a belle at the White Snlpbnr.

But that would not bo a gallant thing to say about a lady young yet, for she is not over thirty, and a real belle holds her away beyond that. The brilliant Lizzie H. would have continued until eighty had not aaipbse overtaken nnd.conqncred both wit and beauty. Of late years Miss Ad-die L. had given over fashionable resorts and gay -winters in "Washington.

Bhe traveled in En opc for her health she averred, and, returning, developed a turn for literature and religion. That is the way they do. She made her appearance at this secluded place in a very quiet way, the guest of her cousin, the general, and, save a hand some saddle horse, had no style whatever. No one would dream, to see her in her simple toilet, so quiet and yet so elegant, that she the once famous belle. Sir.

Hamilton Swagg had nothing to engage his active intellect buta treatment of his kidneys, and it was tho most natural thing in tho world that he should beeimo flr.voted to the fair ladv. She received his twolVo1 itt luieuuuiia jjiouuuoij. pairs, roda together, ana the gossips ot the resort leit a real puy ior uie uuui who was beins. as thev Said, led on to be jilted in the end as strings of gudgeons Had been oeiore. The affair had been going on some six weeks before I arrived, and I was not slow in coming to the conclusion that Miss Ad-dio meant business.

I thought it pitiful as others did, but from a different stand- Eoint. I saw the famous belle, who had ccn fished for by some of the more famous men of tho day turn angler, and dropping an almost naked hook before the nose of this stupid inheritor of a million. She who idloonrl Ti-Bntnnlv tlirOUch HCll fields of flowers, now on a barren sand stooped to this weed. I was infinitely amused to see the delicate, fascinating way in which sheapproached and tempted, without appearing to do so, her proposed prize, and 1 wandered how far Hamilton selfishness and cunning would protect him. I observed that he did most of tho talking, and Icoflld well believe that she was bending her imperious impatience to a wearied hearing, under an air of interest, of his dull stories about himself.

In the midst of this General now a brilliant, successful lawyer, and lately a distinguished officer in the confederate service, appeared among us, and became i. nf Mies Addie. They were old friends, and poor Hamilton Bwagg wM completlycutout. The walks and Hdes i onCohis were now the pi 0f tmt cool, quiet, impudent lone low.

What with ft "cMllt on Fnrih Pag. From the Southern Farm and Homo, MUTTON AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR BACON. Mr. Editoii I nui glad to see that sheep-raising is attracting moro uttention as a branch of industry in the southern states, and that there is soma chance that "old fields" and hillsides, now bringing in nothing, may in time be converted into sheep-walks, Dut most people estimate this industry! as valuable, only for the arid pay Very little attention to the mutton. Our people are.

not generally fond of mutton, because they havo rarely or over tasted any good mutton. I would advocate sheep-raising as well for the meat as the wool, and I think that it would pay well to substitute, to a great extent, mutton for bacon. We eat vastly tco much hog meat. Our health would be much better if we ate less of it. Good mutton, well fed and well butchered, is a very wholesome and nqtrious food, and it can be raised for half the price ot bacon, even taking the "hog round." I would not substitute it altogether for hog meat, for I like a good slice of ham, a piece of middling, or even a jowl as much as any man, but I would mix in a good quarter of fat mutton with the contents of the smokehouse.

Variety is charming, you know, and when it pleases the palate, conduces to health, and spares the pocket, it is exquisitely charming. I wilt bet that any man who makes the experiment and uses mutton as food upon his plantation ''will return to his mutton." Wool-raising may be made immensely profitable at the South. We have every natural advantage to engage in the industry and surpass all competitors. All we lack is the will and the patience. We can combine with it meat raising, and add largely to bur gains physically as well as financially.

Leicester. I From the Lexington (Ky.) Farmers' Home Journal. A WOliD TO TOUN0 FARMERS. Here is an axiom for those who may just be starting out in life as farmers or as stock breeders only, which they will find will profit in constantly reflecting on. It is this a desire for improvement lies at the foundation of progress in every branch.

Thus, young middle-aged men, who may be dissatisfied with the attainments of the results of the past and the methods they employed, by reflection, observation, and experiments, can make rapid and important advances, that will result in advantage in every way, to the pursuit with which they are connected, and with tho dignity and credit that always attaches to public benefactors. Hero is a suggestive inquiry. How much of intellect and how much less of mere muscle brute strength, is now necessarily called into requisition in tho performance of the various operations, than say, thirty years since In tho preparation of soil, in planting, in cultivation, in haying, harvesting, and, indeed, throughout the farm, in all of the details of its different departments; where intelligence rightly directed against brute force, prove the latter comparatively worthless. An old-prejudice, deeply rooted and bitterly maintained, is a hard thing to con- tend with. For long years the force of this stubborn and powerful prejudice that muscle was heap better than brains nnd school farmers has exerted a most pernicious influence -in retarding agriculture by repressing any desire on tho part of the youth to improve themselves, and denying them books and other facilities for gaining information, and by persistently opposing every effort at progress in their section.

But tho thoughtful, studious and progressive have read, and experimented, and thought and studied despising the cry of "book farmers," fancy agrtculluruts opd aided by the force of our advancing civilization a flood of light on every subject connected with farming, dairying, fruit-culture; stock-breeding nnd other important topics connected with their pursuits; they hear these matters nnd the improvements made talked ot from time to time, at the court-house and at the shop and at everywhere else, until they are forced to look into themselves, and this point gained, the result desired improvement sought, is also found. The, struggle has been a long and arduous one between ignorance and knowledge, but the triumph, complete and admitted, is near at hand, and it will be found hereafter that those who have been prompt to step early into the lino of progress will be found to be among the earliest to receive the rich rewards that nature will give to those who were not laggard in seeking her bounteous gilts lrom orchard and held. From the Nashville Rural San. ABOUT THE FALL OF BAIN. The following article, prepared by Gen.

W. U. Harding, ot will be round to contain some practical suggestions and will be worthy of consideration. Gen. Harding is one of the most successful fanners in the State! of Tennes see, and it affords as pleasure to insert articles lrom his pen "Brother farmers would, it not be some gratification to know the quantity of rain that falls each day, week; and month, daring the year Especially when joa rise in the morning, how much may havo fal len at night, while yon were asleep Let me assure you the knowledge is as profitable as gratifying, to any man who tilts the soil, now otten do we see hands returning from the field and reporting the ground too wet to plow.

Perhaps, by and by, an other reports a water gap or a fence brok en by the flood. The farmer expressing surprise, saying, "I did not know it had rained so much." This is a matter of frequent occurrence oh almost every plant ation, and is the occasion of much loss of time to each individual farmer; and when we connsidcrit in the aggregate, it win sum up a large amount. "Not many years ago Lieut. Maury pro duced a great many experiments made by experienced navigators, in regard to tne course of the wind, for many successive months and years at various points on the Atlantic Ocean. All are familiar with the result, especially those who navigate that great highway to commerce.

They will never cease to bless his name, and to revere his memory, because by his efforts in thus ascertaining the general course ot tue winds at all seasons, the Sailors road, from port to port has been shortened, and navi gation made more easy and more safe. The rains are aS Uncertain both to time and quantity as the winds. It is well known that the yearly lall ot rain varies with every de cree Of latitude, with every locality, even in the same latitude, also every period of time, and without any fixed law so far as known to the writer. But, aside from the advantages spoken of, may we not by a series of experiments, long continued, es tablish important facta for the benefit of ngnuuLiuriaia every wnere "A general system is recommended by our agricultural teachers, never failing to advise onderdrainagtf and deep and subsoil plowing. But suppose by their cxpe-ricmcnts we ascertain that in one locality there is an annual fall ot two feet ot water, in another three, in another four, or more, Which I am persuaded will be about tho result Would not the establishing of this fact suggest some change in the cultivation of the Crop Perhaps of the crop itself.

Especially when we ascertain the rainy season in different places. For instance, should wo find in a peculiar locality, the greatest fall of water to be in August and September, every experienced farmer knows that excessive rains at that period would be unfavorable to the cotton plants, but most advantageous to the corn crop. Cotton should then bo expelled from that locality, and corn substituted. It is not aceMry to cite othtr crops.

This stato has voted as loliows: for gov ernor in 1808, democratic radical shock any community not hardened in political crime or destitute of morality. Ohio is saved by a reduced maioritv.

while in Indiana the reform ticket triumphed in spite of these appliances. Tiieso elections demonstrate that the liberal movement, having its inception in the populous centers of and Indiana, has steadily increased in importance, and that, us it becomes understood. its hold on the country grows stronger. We look with reason to a heavilv-increased liberal vote in Ohio and to important accessions of in tho northwestern states. Enunciating a practical national plat form striving for reconciliation and purification we have been joined for the nc-1 plishment of this vital purpose by the liberal democracy of the nation.

In this canvass republicans must vote with democrats, whatever presidential candidate they support. A so-called "national democratic" Grant organization exists in New York; the Louisville convention was and is Grant movement. Every liberal republican is a witness of the anxiety of the Grant retainers to secure democratic votes from those men who have no sympathy with the theory of the reform party, or the pub lished opinion ol its nominees. Tho only question then is With which class of democrats shall republicans vote with liberal, progressive democrats who accept the situation, and for the life-long and consistent exponent of sound republican principles, Horace ureeley or with tne reactionary, fossil and corrupt democrats, led by John S. Mosby, Blanton Duncan, and Wm.

M. Tweed, who nro striving to defeat reform and continue the present administration in power? We are to determine whether we are competent to shape our own convictions through the ballot, or whether as a people we are to be forced to accept the dictum of the central power as expressed by its stipendiaries aud camp followers whether officials ot tne people are public servants or public taskmasters; and whether the policy of government is to emanate from the people as a source of powci, or from an administration greedy for its own emol ument and authority. The canvass called for has been returned from a little over one-half tho state. Without counting doubtful liberals, there arc enough republicans pronounced for Greeley and Brown, in the places returned, to give us the state, counting the liberal democratic vote, which thoir canvass Bhows to be practically solid. The towns nnd wards not heard from, embracing Manchester, Concord, Dover, and other known liberal strongholds, will do better than the section returned so that there need be no doubt as to the result in New Hampshire, if we keep tho issue of the campaign squarely before tho people and poll our full strength.

While the result of the October elections is not all that was hoped for, it practically divides the great central states, and is as gratifying as we could with reason expect, and if properly improved secures us the presidential contest. From the data received from national liberal republican and national liberal democratic headquarters, and from different state committees, ns well as from the results just recorded, we are able to claim as sure for our ticket, the following states: Alabama, 10 Connecticut, 6 Delaware, Florida, 4 Georgia, 11 Kentucky, 12 Louisiana, 8 Maryland, 8 Missouri, 15 Nevnda, 3 New Hampshire, 5 New Jer sey, 9 New York 35 North Ourolinn, 10 Tennessee, 12 TeXtis 8 California, 6 Virginia, 11 West Virginia, Indinna, 15. Total, 19S. Necessary to a choice, 184. The following states are regarded as doubttui, witn nn even chance in our la vor: Arkansas, Minnesota, Missii sippi.

8: Rhode Island. 4. Total, 13. There is no cause- for discouragement in tho present aspect of tho canvass. In the country and in onr state the liberals have the power to secure a favorable verdict.

The liberal reform movement, inaugura ted by liberal republicans at Uincinnati, in May, has yet chronicled but five months' existence. It has in that time received the cordial and patriotic support of one of. the great national parties, aud wrung from the administration needed legislation. It further proof were required of the debauched condition of political morals in the domi nant party, calling for a national reform, it is lurnished in the late elections, by the colonization of colored voters from Ken tucky in Indiana (ours by a good majority), in the unparalleled increase of registration TkiT.jlnk:. i.n n.

in Philadelphia, to an excess of that of the great city ot new rone, wmcn registra- tisn, beyond doubt, reversed the honestly recorded vote of the citizens of that state; and in the system of corruption and terrorism exemplified wherever the administra tion has conducted a campaign during the canvass. Composed of men who, acting from principle, are not disheartened by local and temporary reverses, or unduly elated bv success, the future of the liberal reform movement is clready secure, and absolute victory in the nation within its reach in November is in any event but a question of time, to be determined by the votes of those of the American people who prefer reform, economy, integrity, and reconcili ation to partisan legislation, omcial cor ruption, and political demoralization. It is our privilege to present in the per son of a son of this state the candidate of the liberal reform movement. It is our duty to use every honorable exertion to give him the electoral vote of New Hampshire. That we are able to do this the canvass fuliv demonstrates.

Let me urge. then, untiring ctlorts uy the committee, and by the liberal republicans of the state, in presenting the issue of the campaign by secina that intimidation and misrepresenta tion do not influence those republicans who desire to vote lor ureeley and rciorm and 5 0 4-n. nnrnncf.

galiicd the extension of timo As regards iw prraiMcniiai electors. TWO constitutional nronoaitinns will ln tin n. nounced by the fathers of the republic as the certain prelude to a monarchy. It advocates the right of each state to control its own domestic affairs, subject to tho constitution of the United States, without let or hindrance from martial law, carpetbag robberSf and official thieves imported from distant regions and sustained by the bayonets of the federal administration. It is in favor of releasing the white peo ple of the South from a seven-years bondage, commencing at the close of the war and continuing until the ptesent hour, the bondage oi prescriptive laws, rest oatns, and military domination, by which they have been excluded from the government of themselves and turned over bound hand and foot to organized and official- piracy and plunder.

It is opposed to that system of govern ment by which states have been made bankrupt, taxes multiplied a hundred fold, fraudulent debts created almost beyond computation, and all this aud more done to enrich the lawless leaders of a corrupt and cruel party. It rises above tho low doctrine of hate and inscribes universal amnesty on its banner, heralding in tho dawn of a better and more peaceful day than this distracted country has known for the last twelve weary and bittor years; a day ot entire reconciliation, aud complete Americau brotherhood. It appeals in this as in all else to the higher and purer instincts of mnnkind. and to the recognized and accepted truths of God. Our cause has also other great aims in view which will give it life and victory in tho future- It has declared undying hostility to a system of civil service, by which, it is con- lcsscd in an omcial investigation Iricndly to the administration, that one-fourth of the tax collected trom the laboring musses is lost or stolen before it reaches the national treasury a system in which defalcation, peculation, nnd robbery are so frequent nnd of such common occurrence that the best argument that can be made in favor of continuing the present administration in power was made by Gen.

Butler in his western campaign that tho official thieves are now full, and being gorged may not steal much more The cause in which we arc struggling and in which we will continue to work is indeed the cause of reform and purification. It strikes at a new and marvelous dy nasty of corruption in which the lust of private gam has broken out with a vlo fence and contempt of morality not hitherto known amongst the nations of the earth for the last two hundred years. The president tiimseit has grown suddenly and enormously rich, and, to the highest republican testimony, he has done so upon the barter and exchange of official patronage for pay; whilo all his kindred, immediate nnd remote, lineal and collateral, by blood and marriage, arc quartered on the public treasury and fattening on its contents. The world lias seldom beheld a spectacle so disgusting and revolt ing sinco tue most shameless nnd venal periods of the Roman empire. And if this administration is continued in power four years more it will grow in evil, and our cause will grow in importance, and gather Btrength with time.

Already the honorable leadership of the republican party has been driven from the support of Grunt's administration by its open debaucheries and wanton violation ol tho laws of tho country as well as all the laws of propriety.

If I am asked why we have suffered defeat in the recent elections, the answer is easy nnd obvious. The first thing always to be encountered by a reform movement is ancient and honest prejudice; and this sort of prejudice, thongh it may be founded in but little reason, is nevertheless en titled to the respect of the wise and the prudent. When 3Ir. Greeley was nominated it was a violent shock to the long-entertained prejudices of a largo portion of the democratic parly, and however ju9t and noble the cause undoubtedly was, yet I feared from the first that there was not sufficient time in which to overcome those prejudices by the weight of argument. The general result nas my original apprehensions.

So far as my own district is concerned a sixty days canvass, although the hardest and most activo of my life, was not Ion; enough this year. Over fifteen hundred friends staying at home on tho day of the election, not in concert or Annomlinlmmrt commence mat; success would never forsake me, and an apathetic indifference to the ccneral result, accoin- nlished what my enemies have tried ten vpnrq in vain to do. and what thev all admit tnat tncy iiiemseivcs coma not. uuve done. But the success or dcteat ot mdi- viduals is ot but small moment, and so far as I am concerned I rejoice at the prospect of the life now before me.

I ought perhaps to add a word in regard to the conduct of the liberal republicans in this canvass. They have acted nobly and kept perfect faith. It is true that the prejudices of the past prevented the gieat leaders of the republican party from influ encing as many ot their iqrmer supporters as thev will be ablo to do hereafter, It takes time to reconcile even naturally agreeing elements in the political world in both tue old political parues. juoriuu, ouiuci-on, Chandler, and Butler, cannot long continue to lead the honest republican masses against the earnest warning and protests Of SUCH men as Horace ureeley, jLiyumu Trumbull, Carl Schurz, and others equally eminent, whose unsullied lives give weight to their opinions, mis movement luere-fore must grow in the ranks of the republican party, as well as in our own, or every rute oi numan inuueucu win iu tliis instance.

Tho ballot must not le torn or separated. The law calls for one ticket, (meaning one whole ticket,) nnd for only one. Thus, any one separating his ticket, by cutting or tearing, will mnkc his whole vote worthless, ns both parts of tho ticket will then be rejected.

The October town elections were notably your triumph. Many towns upon which the re-nominatiouists counted ns sure to regis ter at the ballot-box the edict ot the regular party caucus, by handsome majorities repudiated tho old management, nnd, in the shape ot liberal successes, entered up their protcBt nguinst the party manage ment and domination in tliu stale anil in the country. In nearly every town you showed large liberal gains upon the popu- ar vote, and the result in alt warrants tne belief that in November you can givu the liberal candidate at least five thousand ma- ority, in the state. With energy and pluck the state is ouib. The proportion of fair-weather soldiers among your number is small.

Our reports from nil parts of the state since the October elections are of nil encouraging character. The liberal repub licans ot Connecticut have not abandoned the old organization and tho dominant party simply because a new movement promised success. Their action has been based upon principle and upon convictions of-duty, and no temporary check or appa rent repulse will dishearten tliein. For nearly six months wu liavu borne the abuse and slanders heaped upon us by men to whom we have given no offense other than to withdraw from nn organiza tion which we conscientiously believe to be corrupt and mischievous to the country's wellnrc. The number who arc ready to buy off a few weeks' cessation of their sneers and calumnies by abandoning their post of duty will be very small.

The only hope of our opponents is in the purchase of material which they can buy in open market to make good the defection of moro titan live thousand honest men in'tlic state who heretofore havo acted with them. In this rcsocct thev will but follow their former custom and the example set them by Unrt- ranttand Uameron ot I'cnnsytvania. ui cuch a' conduct of the canvass we shall yield them a monopoly, Whatever success they may have in this endeavor, there is certainly but one duty before the liberal republicans ot-'Jonnectlcut, nnd that is to .1.

There is nothing discouraging to the friends of Greeley and Brown in Tuesday's elections. We carry Indiana, and gain moro than ten thousand in Ohio. Had our friends in that state commence the canvass a month earlier, we should havo carried the state. They claim it for the November election. With Wcw York, Indiana, uoli nccticut, New Jersey, and New Hampshire voting lor urceley, as there is reasona ble certainty of their doing, and with the almost solid electoral votes of the southern states conceded to him, his election nnd the triumph of the liberal cause will be se cured.

Wc have no responsibility for any state but Connecticut. Connecticut is ours if we make for the next three weeks a hearty fight and bring out our full vote. Our duty is here; nnd there can be no mistaking it. Three weeks of good honest work is all that is required of us. Let us take holdof it with will.

The liberal republican movement, organ ized at Cincinnati, was demanded by the condition of affaire and was the protest tif many ot the purest statesmen ot tne republican organization against the corruption, centralization, and demoralization characterizing tlr administration wing of the party. With this practice at variance with the fundamental principles of honesty, economy, and responsibility to the people, enunciated uy its loumters; witu its stupendous land grants and subsidies, with its ostracism of approved statesmen and legislators, and its places of power Oiled with ndventarers, it was in no sense identical with that party of the people the record Of which was for a decade the histo ry of the jjovernment. The platform enunciated at Cincinnati, while provoking universal admiration, challenged adverse criticism. On it was placed an eminent republican, of blameless life nnd approved public service a statesman who comprehended the necessity of a restored country, and whose name was hailed as the harbinger of practical reconciliation and enduring prosperity and with him the pioneer statesman in the popular revolt against centralization. The movement was received by the cham pions of the administration with a storm of virulent abuse and denunciation unequaieo in political annals.

These retainers, by personal detraction, social and business ostracism and misrepresentation, in vain strove to stinc the spreading voice ot rciorm which dared the full measure of administration vengeance, as expressed in each recurring local election. To the disgrace ot tne civu service, caoi-net ministers left their stations, and execu tive officers hastened to contested states, so that the spectacle was presented of a aoy- crnment run by clerks, as one of the minor atirnrises of the camnaicn. Wit this Destitution ot tiie mncuons of the government, and to perpetuate the powfcr of the present dynasty, as well as to stifle investigation, the people have been appealed to, to revive the animosities of ft war closed over soven years ago, wherein ftverv nrincinle contended for has been established bv amendments to the organic law.
