This government will he maintained for tiie following, among other reasons: Jst. Ithiisheon lawlully -and consti tutionally established ly tho whole people of the State, il is operating smoothly and harmoniously. Under it the people are quiet and poaciable, and are just entering anew on a career of prosperity. Jt must not bo upset or oven assailed, because tho colored peo ple havo been allowed to vole ; or bo causo they will vote with a certain par ty ; or because a few public men are out ofolHco and a few. are in. Ud. Senators and K.iuU.tives have been admitted by the Congress to scats in that body. The State is, thero- f.ne, o as well as in the Union. It is as much of tho Union ais York or any other State. No State can secede, nor can Congress puh a State out, or sever its relations with lho cojnmori govern ment.

Tho reconstruction acts havo been executed, and arc, therefore, beyond tho reach of Congress. :d. Tho Supremo Court has no juris diction of tho subject. Its iwiwers aro expressly defined by tho Constitution to bo "judicial," and not political. It has already decided that the question of admission to representation is a polit ical question, and that when determined by Congress, as it has been in relation to North Carolina, the court will not interfere. 4th. The President would have no more power to declare the reconstruc tion acts null and void, with a view to the extinguishment of the government of this State, than I would have to de clare that a certain County or Counlies in this Stato should cease to exist. The government of North Carolina is, therefore, as firmly established as that of any other State. It has the same con trol of the right of sulVrage, anil of its own internal affairs, as the other States have; and it jo.hs4!ssos equal power w ith the. other States to protect ;iixl per jvctiiatc itself.

This cry for peace continued a t u m creased until the Union armit s reached Jvaleigbt in April, and the Standard, as is well rememlxircd, was 'the recog nized organ of the peace men. We shall copy 'articles from the stand ard from time to time, .showing the itieieaf-e of this feeling, the resist ance which (iov. Vance made to it, and then the notorious fact that Gov.

It is, that a day be appointed on which at a certain hour, with one consent, they shall unitedly beg for l'KACEfrom Ilim in whose hands are the hearts of men and the destinies of nations. I'raycr ha been made continually for the success of our arms in battle, and these prayers have been answered, in many instances, beyond our hopes. Every prayer has doubtless breathed an earnest petition for peace, but it is suggested that now our faithful women should unite to pray in an especial mun )!(, for it that tod would lorgivo our ety-miesand turn their hearts, and that f would also lorgivo us our debts, and would speedily open a door of d-eliver-nnre for a? from the hands of bloodu "i ia't .Monday.

Imt let. the young, arid beautiful, and hopeful, equally with those who can lay no claim o such titlts, think of the broken hearted, the destitute, and the home less think ot the dead, and the dying, and the mangled think of the widows, and tho fatherless, and the childless, of this awful war and let every woman's heart be raised as with one voice on that day to God for help aud for Pkack an honorable Peace.

Citizens of Savanah fhi., have pur chased a handsome cane of orange wood, with a gold head, which in a few days will bo sent on to Oovcrnor Tilden as a token of southern esteem. Sentinel. They ought also to send to Gov. Tilden a vial of blood,-and the skull of some negro whom they have slain as White Liners or Ku Klux, for his political opinions. The Ku Klux Dens in this State were in some instances ornamented with vials of blood and the skulls of poor colored men whom they had murdered. Some testimonial of this sort would enable Gov. Til den to learn more of his southern friends than ho at present seems to know. Again, in the days of Tweed, when Tweed ami Tilden were like brothers in the Democratic party in New York, Tilden appeared to lake a deep interest in popular suffrage, and amused himself in manipula ting Votes so as to carry the elec tions. Chatham county, Georgia, in which Savanah is situated, con tains eleven thousand voters. The Democrats of that county have es tablished by law but one voting place, to-wit, Savannah, for all these voters. It would do Gov. Tilden's heart good to know this fact. lie oughito be informed that colored men and poor white men have no chance to vote in this same Savan nah, for the rich and the powerful do crowd them from the io!Ls, and thus have every thing their own way. In this way, and in many other ways, Goorgia and Alabama have been made Democratic States, and lhu3 they are kept so. To a man like Gov. Tilden, with whom in every thing the end justifies the means," such information would be peculiarly refreshing.

" J "Jackson UnionS1 Print, D.) our Southern Democratic frieuds suppose that loyal Northern men will vote for such a man j as Hendricks ? We have charged that the Demo crats in the late Convention attempt ed to legalize marriage with " yajler gals" after the third degree. They refused to make it criminal to mix the two races. Neither of the De mocratic papers of this city have dared to deny the charge. We can prove it by the Journals of theCon ven t i on . They p ropose to con t i rt ue the nefarious practice of their kind of civil rights that they may marry the oihiprings aner tne tniru uegree. O more ! u tempore : The Supreme Court, including Judge Settle, decided that the re- J versionary interest in a homestead ! cannot be sold to pay any debt, old ! or new. With such a man as Judge settle in the Governor's chair, the poor people's homes are sale. Ku Klux.'Ku Klux, where have Von been ? In the Democratic party up to my chin.

"As long as the South keeps up the light on the "old lines, with the same allies and the sumo battle cries, the North will bo suspicious of our good faith, no matter in what form we pro test it!" "It is claimed that tho Democrats have done great good by their investi gations. This may bo so, ami yet is no proof ot capacity for tho administration of all'airs. Tlie act of the detective may be very necessary and useful in, the economy of government, but has never been considered an element of states manship." : "It was only ah ut twelve mouths ago that Tweed was released from pris on on habeas corpus by a decision of the New York Court of Appeals, com posed of seven Democratic Judges. M r. Charles O'Conor, tho Nosier of the New York bar, in a letter published at the time, charged that tho decision was procured through the corrupt influence of Tweed's money. Hero was a splen did caso for an invostigatlonfar excel ling in enormity tho sale of a sutler ship ; yet these judges rcmahiod unirn peached and are still wearing the er mine of justice. Ialludo to this fact to show the tone of political morality of the party of which Governor Tilden has been the acknowledged head eversin. e the retirement of Tweed.'' Do the people want the educa tional fund to be in the hands of a partisan Legislature to Im appro priated for any purpose they may see lit? The present Constitution makes it a permanent irreducible fund for the education of the poor children of the State. Jet those who want it managed by the .Legislature ami appropriated for qther'purioses, vide for the amendments. Let those who want it used lor educational pur poses, vote ayain.it the amendment. Thousands in North Carolina re member that they are now living in their own houses; only by virtue of a decision of Judge Settle ami his associates of the Supreme Court. Every orphan -whoso father fell in battle in tho late unholy war is a crying argument against the Demt.. cratic party.
