What the National IMatlorin and Candidates Kaid About the Civil and Political Rights fCItizens.; ' : Y National Rsbublican Pldtform, 1880. The equal, steady, and complete en forcement of laws, and tbe rotectioo of all our citiz-ins ia the enjoyment of . all 'privileges' and immunity guaran teed by the constitution, Are the first duties of the nation. The dangers of a solid south can only be averted bya faithful performance of every promise which the nation' has made to the citi zen. The execution of the laws, and the punishment of all those who vio late them, are the only safe methods by which'an enduring peace pan be se cured and genuino prosperity estab lished throughout the south. What ever promises the nation makes the na tion must porfoim. A oation cannot safely relegate this duty to the statin. The solid south must be divided by the peaceful agencies of the ballot, and all houestf opinions must there find free expression. To this end the honest vo ter must "be protected against terrerianfj ,iolencc or fraud. From Garfield's Letter of Acceptance. . Without, .reviewing the controversies which hav) bt en. settled during the - last twenty years, and with no purpose or wish to revive the pasBiona of the late war,' it should be said that while the Republicans fully t recognize aDd will streauouily defend all the rights retaiued by- Xhe people, and all the rights reserved to the states, they reject the pernicious doctrine of state supre macy which so loi'g crippled the func tions of the national government, and at one time, brought the union very near to destruction. ; They insist that the United Stains is a nation, with am pie power of seif preservation; that its constitution and tha laws made in pur .suance thereof are the supreme law of the land; that 'the right of the nation to determine the method by which its legislature shall be created counot be surrendered without abdicating one of the fundamental powers of government that the national laws relating to the election of representatives in congress . shall neither be violated ,uor evaded that every elector shall be permitted freely and without intimidation, to cast his lawful baltot at such election and have it honestly counted, and that the potency of - his vote shall jot be de stroyed by the fraudulent vote of anv other person Tho best thoughts aDd . ener ies of our people should bo di rccUd to tLo-fj great questions of nt tioual well being in which all have common interest, ouch enorts wi j soonest restore to perfect peaceuiose who weie lately in arrrflTagainst each other; for justice ami gool will out last passion.

Frvm Arthur's Litter oj AixrjtiHee. The right a ad duly to seeure hooeaty and order iu popular elections is a mat ter so vital that.tt must stand in front.

The ro publican party has etroogly approved the stern refusal of iu representatives to suffer the overthrow of statutes be lieved to be salu ary and just It Iras always insisted that the govenment of the United States of America is em powered and in du'y bound to effectu ally protect' the elections denoted by the constitution s national. . Mori than this, the Republican party holds, as a cardinal point in its creed, . that the government should, by every means known to the constitution, pro tec tall American citiaens everywhere ia the fnll enjoyment of their, civil and political rights. As a great part of its work of reconstruction, the Republican party gave the ballot to the emanci pated slave as his right and defense. A large increase in the number of members of congress snl of the elec toral college from the former slave holding states was the immediate re sult. The history uf recent years abounds in evidence that in many ways and many vplaces especially where their nnmber has been great enough to endanger Democratic control the very men by whose elevation in citizenship this increase of representation was effected have been debarred and robbed of their voice and their voie. It is true that no state statute or constitution inv so many words denies or abridges the exercise of their political rights, but the modes employed to bar their way are no less effectual. It is a suggestive and startling thought that the in creased power derived from the en franchisement by a race now denied its share in governing the country, wielded by those who lately sought the overthiow tf the government, :s now the solo reliance to defeat the party which represented the sovereignty and nationality of the American people in the greatest crisis in our history. Re publicans cherish, none of the resent ments which may have animated them during the actual conflict of arms They long for a full and real reconcili ation between the sections which were needlessly and lamentably at strife. They sincerely effer the hand of good will, but they ask in return a pledge of good faith, I hey deeply feel that the party whose career is so illustrious in great and patriotic achievements will not fulfill its destiny until peace and prosperity are established in all the land, nor unt! liberty of thought, cju science and action, and equality of op portunity,, shall be not merely cold formalities of statute; but living birth rights, which the humble fmav confi dently claim and the powerful dare not deny. Tricks That Are Vain. mere is much sense in the sugges tion that the election of Mr. Carlisle to the speakership would give , the manu facturing interests less caue for appre heusion thin that of Mr. Ran iall. The' letter of (Jen. .'Gordon virtually recom mends that the Democratic party of free trade play a possum game by elect ing Randall. This will put some friends of pro'eetion off their guard aud make them think the cause of low tariff is dead.' Then, if by this means the Dc mocracy could succeed, they could ap ply the , simple remedy of breaking their pledges as they did in 18 1G, after Polk anl Dallas had been elected in 1811 on a shout for the tariff of 1842 The Democratic Uoue nf Represent -i 5. - lives then passed the low tariff for revenue only of 1816 in 'place, of the protective tariff of 1842, on which they carried I the ..election:. Jo the Sfe'iate Vice-President D.ill is, a IYuoiy Ivania Democratic protectionist, g ive his cai' iug vote, I by which this free Uadi measure wasjn ide possible, aud Prei dent Polk gave it hW approval. Tim laboring people of America wiil never bo allowed to overlook this bit ot his tory. "It shows the value of Demo cralic promises in favor ot protection and it shows the danger of trusting a Pennsylvania protection Democrtt as the presiding officer of either branch oi vngress, camuei J. ltaml.tll m speaker would not be aWe o save the cause of protection if his election should contribute to the success of the Democracy next year, for it is admitted that his election now would be a mere trick to hide the free trade features of his party. And if that party should be willing Jo wear a protection mask uext year, with Randall on. the ticket for either the firt or s-cond place, would it not, if succesfful, break its solemn pledge jut as it did in 1846? And would Samuel J. Randall be any mors likely to stand oat aad,reUt the command of hia party than was Vice-President George Mifflin Da)latlhe Pennsylvania Democratic protectionist ? The pro tectionists hart no interest ia the elec- uoa pi air, ivaaaau. we nave a sen. ate and President to aland acroa the path of any legislation hostile to the iaterwsU of the country.

Nalioril Republi can. -I ' i - : - . Whiie e.ertaiu "independem" papers, lik" ihn Philadelphia Timet and the Springfield fypvblican, are belittling Mahoue, suth staunch Republican journals as the Hartford Courant speak of his political position a follows: "Whatever differences of opinion there may be about Mr. Mabone, with all his faults, no man has been more misrepresented and misjudged, it mast bi admitted that he has formulated the best, platform that . any party in Vir ginia has bad since the days of Jeffer son. And his pluck in standing against the fierce storm of abuse and race pre- fuce, which is raging at present in Old Virginia, entitles bim to the praise given the brave man who dares to face a mob and tell it the truth." . It will be remembered that Mahone's platform is tbit: 'The scope of the Readjuster party has enlarged With its age and growth. It originated in an issue local, and to some extend unpopular With .time, and the changing issues which time brings, it has widened its sphere; and, while its original object has become leas prominent, issues of nationalism, of human lightp, o!f liberty, of peace, of manhood,, cf Republican govern ment, have been forced upon it by the fierce onslaught ot bourbouism, until these issues are broad enough to be national, and it' has the sympathy of every man in this ualion who loves liberty and abhors the proscription and bigotry of casle, class, and prejudice, which is the life of bourhoniom." Theresa probably not a state where bourbouism irf more exacting, more brutal, more desperate, han it is in Virginw; i.or, on thts other hand, is there a state .where the young, new blood is struggling harder for a chance to develoi) the material resources of its grand commonwealth and put it in line wkh the march of progress and liberty. AV Y. Commercial Advertiser. 5fegrrf Overseers for White ,. Bourbons. It. appear that the Virginia bourbon white voters were divided p by Super intendent Barbour into gangs ot ten, with an overseer over each ten. In the ten ve.e included 'renegade Republl cans, a- well a b urbons.

We are not informed whether Cain set the example of appointing himself a committee of" opc ' to investigate the Abel case. , We dia not witness this Danville case, bnt it presents a very ugly ap pearance. It was presented just at the right time to .make a state of popular frenzy i -which there was. no time to allay and correct until it had changed the public vtrdiet- s By tireless riders on panting steeds it was .carried from hot presses and spread throughout the state on Snaday, Monday and Tues day. - The whites were alarmed into voting the bourbon' ticket, and many of the blacks were alarmed into staying away irm the polls. The hot blood, inflamed passions and appalling preju dices of 1861 were kindled. Virginia was flopped, but the devil was played north. The great empire state of New York was as close to Danville as was Virginia, for with the telegraph ' thousand miles is as a fot and a foot as a thousand miles. New York cl anged front at once with more than two hundred thousand of her voters. Next came the great old keystone state ot Pennsylvania, the home of Whiuier, and there fifty thousand men left the bourbon column. Connecticut and Massachusetts faced ' about. Even Maryland faltered aud grew faint hearted. This thing in Virginia was perfectly understood in the crreat sec tion of the Union which had freed the slave and was still concerned for fear his emancipation had put uoon its nno pie the great responsibility of seeing that this act should not be his ruin. The very lightest and most favorable construction which New York$. New England, Pennsylvania, Ohio atfd In diana' could place on this infuriated rush at the throat of Liber.il ism fn Virginia by the bourbon consDirator and political freebooters was ihat it meant the challenge of a solid south The effect was iostantarieout, for a solid south was construed by them to mean the exclusion of the n .rth and resistance to the Jrjendtiest overtures ever made by an admiuisira'ion to those who were powerless to overthrow it. It has not escaped tbe eye of America that out of more thau two thousand negro votes within three miles of Danville, leas than thirtv-six were polled two days ;after seven ne groes were slain, has not been for gotten, and it will not be overlooked. that no man has been arrested lor this, and that it is not proposed to attempt io punisn any one, so lar as we now near or can Know.

It passed when the bourboh Democracy in this year of grace, in their desperation to make sure, as they thought, of national sue cess next year, became accessories be fore and after the fact to the murder ous slaughter of coloredjnen in Dan ville, Va., after the race issue had been raised by ' delusive, mischievous and erroneous rtatements secretly spread lar and wide, without opportunity for timely correction or explanation. No colored man has now a right, in this crisis, to further jeopardize the in terests of this race by doing any joIiti cai act that will aid into power any such Democracy that still believes in and adopts the Mississippi plan. Let men such as Dezendorf and Wickham, whose race is not discrimi nated against, vote, if they choose, in the air, or openly identify themselves with the Democracy; but colored men who are solicitous for their rights, who are only indignant because the Repub lican party his not gone as rapidly for ward as possible, certainly do not pre fei to co-operate with the lineal de scendants of theFort Pillow massacre me ionieuerates oi the EMenloo. iinnoy ana LMuruie "riots."

Mason wilt leave the penitentiary in this cty tcipuiorrow a free man. Offi cial notice cfbis pardon by the Presi- dent was read to him in hJs cell to-day. Tears of joy glistered in his eyes as the Warden finished. He said the good news was wholly unexpected, but that be had hoped to be released before the expiration of his' sentence. His com-1 panions in the shoe shop, to whom he had endeared himself by his gentle de meanor, warmly congratulated him to day. He has aged somewhat during the past year and a half, but has main tained an air of cheerfulness through out. , the devotion ot his wife has been marked! and touching. Although un able to-'visit the jar), she has regularly corresponded. Hei' letters were long and, judging from Mason's appearance after their persual, were ftjJl . of news from that little Virginia home. The last letter from his wife reached him on Friday. Mason was seoteoced to eight years' imprisonment for attempting to kill the assassin of President Garfield. He has been in confinement about eighteen months. The shot was fired at Guiteau on the evening of September 11,1881 Mason was Sergeant in Battery 13, Sec ond Artillery. Early on that evening Captain MoGUfiray arrived at the Dis trict Jail from the Arsenal with, his command to", relievo Captain Greaves. The relieviug watch arrived in 4brce wagons, in the front of which were seated Captain McGilfray, Lieutenant Richmond, Sergeaut Mason and Private Condon. Hardly Jiad the. men descen ded from the vehicle when the crack of a rifle ran? out and Mason was seen standing with his smoking weapon in his hands. "I fired the shot, Captain," he said, ''and T intended to kill the scou ndrel;'' Gaiteau had been leaning by the win dow of his cell watching the. guard. The bill missed his head only by two inches, and embedded ilaelf in the wail of the ceil opposite the aperture. Mason was seized and taken to the Arsenal, where he was imprisoned un til the decision 'of the court-martial which tried him. The day following the attempted shooting, Mason said Wo a vbitor. "Guiteau had shot a gool man--lhe President otihe nation and I thought it was my duty to kill him. If it had been a clear day my aim would have bceu true." ' The Khot made Guiteau frantic with u fear of popular violence, from which he never recovered until his' miserable lite euded upon the gallows. -The very Sunday night. 011 which Mason had at tempted to kill Guiteau, the latter's victim was lying in iulense agony in the Fratitaiyn Cottao at Klbernon, Linz lirancb.
