I i II MATEKIAL, INDCSTRtAL, AND EDUCA TIONAL INTERESTS orrKE&MvU. That thP material, industrial and tdu rational interests of the State are in a ca- l m.itAiia rendition is manifest to Ine com monest observer. There is now a direful incubus upon the state that , deadens the mergies of the people and destroys all reasonable hope of future prosperity, iv.ery man has the distressing sense that he labors and toils in vain . ThpP are not owinz to any lack ol industry and persistent eflort on the part f the people. Ever since the late war .

They are swallowed op in oppres sive taxation, to sunuort a evstem ot slate government essentially expeusive, and a t . A. . r i.ucai extravagance wunout parat.ci ia ine nisiory 01 a irce people.

It establishes , a mi Mir rlpbt amounting to $40,000,000, half of which is confessedly dishonest and fraudulent, and which the people are un able to pay. MISRULE, FRAUD, FORCE AND THE SWOIU. Under this organic laYv the people are subjected to an intolerable misrule at the . - y e hands of the radical party. iy means 01 notorious fraud, force and the sword, that party had absolute control of the Conven tion that trained the present constitution, and like control of the first Legislature that assembled under it ; and although the people were impoverished, tins radical Convention and Legislature increased the public debt from 20,000,000 to near $40, 000,000 in less than eighteen months. Of thiaS2Q.000.000. less than S500.000 have gone into the public works or to the benefit of the people. Tins party piacen in ouice a 6overnor who absolutely suspended the Constitution and laws of the State ; he ar rested tcores of innocent citizens without warrant or any authority of law ; he sus pended the writ ot habeas corpus and defied the Chief Justice of the State; he made his warrant from time to time on the Treasurer for large, sums of 'money with out the sanction of law ; he raised a law less and mercenary horde of desperadoes and armed them at the public expense to, execute his despotic will. This party elected to the State Convenlion and the Legislature scores of men notorious for their ignorance, licentiousness, dishonesty and corruption, who, at the behests of their party and knaish speculators, in creased the public debt to the enormous sum nlreulv stated. This pirty degraded and disgraced the Judiciary by electing to high judicial btations men shamefully ignorant and corrupt, and others who luive not scrupled to manifest the most b'attnt partizm feelings while holding their offices. This party have ruined the credit of the State they have blasted the hopes and prosperity of the people in the mo?t .shameless aad'deSant manner they have ma Jo every department of the gov ernment a bv -Yvord and reproach To es tablish the truth of these charges we need But point to the history of the State lor the last three years and appeal to the ob ecrvation of every intelligent citizen. THE PRESENT CONSTITUTION. This Constitution and this party, with a radical, reckless and extravagant admin istration of the Federal Government, nuke up the manifc-t cau-cs of the sufJ ferings, poverty and ruin that crush the people of the State. The Radical party have brought upon us ail thtse evils, and there is no relit! from them but tlu-ough salutary changes of the Constitution, and a change of our present ruiers for others who s!ki!1 be capable, honest, wise and pa triotic. car'contra.irtmioV.VmA?.!0'.'.

CRIME AND OUTRAGE. TVp. iIppiti it worth while to notice in'this address, that wicked and interested per sons unnrincinled and violent radical I r j. , . partizana in anci out of tin:, -nt- icr sinister purposes, have sought to proante the false imnression that the Democratic Conservative party have and do connive at and encourage tlie perpetration oi crime and outrage. To this detestable end they have, wiherever they could, prostituted the . . . . . press, legislative ana juaiciai proceeumg, and resorted to every means within their power. Such, imputation is not only groundless, false and scandalous, but in famous to the last degree, and betrays a spit it of wickedness, we venture to assert, without a parallel in political wanare. Tiip nartv which we represent has al ways and persistently condemned crime, by whomsoever perpetrated, ana nas re peatedly gone out of . the usual political course to denounce it, and urge upon the people the high importance ot peace and good order, and the duty of every good citizen to be active and zealous in bring -ing offenders to justice. The course pursued by the unworthy persons to whom, we refer is deeply to be deplored by all good men of every politi cal party. It is not only ignoble, but it tends to destroy the moral and legitimate effect of the voice of the press, legislative action and judicial determination, for the suppression of crime their constant ef fort is to turn such matters to political advantage by giving them a political turn, and thus they produce the almost inevi table conviction on the minds r f disinter ested observers that the purpose of the press, the Legislature and Courts, is not to suppress crime and outrage, but to manufacture political capital and advan tage from the crimes of offenders, and thus engender bitter feelings among their op ponents, destroy confidence in the Courts and bring them into disgrace and con tempt. We again urge our friends to set their faces against violence and lawlessness of all kinds, and to be especially active in preventing secret outrages by disguised persons. NATIONAL POLITICS. It is to be regretted that the people of this State have failed to take any very ac tive interest in national politics since the close of the late war. In our judgment this is unwise. Our people are of the Union it is our government and to it we must look, as we have the right, for sup x'&& ."ruL ryotcction in onr rights of life, we owe it allegiance and support, ana u is a patriotic duty to yield these it is as much our duty to join our fellow-countrymen in shaping and controlling the policy and destiny of this great common national government. We have all the rights that any of the American people have, and we are false to the country and ourselves if we fail to recognize, exercise and act upon them. The people have rights ;'let them exercise them firmly and respectfully, and when need be, assert them as freemen and American citizens inthe councils of the nation, in political assemblages, and every where. If we consent to be dwarfed and ignored nationally, then indeed, we may expect to be for all time to come. CORRUPTION, EXTRAVAGANCE AND USURPA TION. i . i Our common country is suDject to grievous political evils to which the com pass of this address win auow ut w au vert very briefly. Official corruption in nign anu iow niocoa- nnhlic pTtravae-ance : usurpation of areat powers not conferred, but denied and prohibited oy tne uonsiuuuuu , uig nnnrpssivH tariffs which foster im mense monopolies ; the direct encourage l I' . nUAofl. ment and support oi niouojjuue , Fiv0n tution of official patronage to promote party ascendancy ; a system of taxation which brings into active service n me in terests of the party ift power, hordes of Internal Revenue officers who oppress, plunder and outrage the people ot the na tion, and under which large surplus sums nf mnnpv nro mised that oucrht to remain in the pockets of the people; a general system ot espionage; a suspension oi me lnrtipa nf the neoole UDon the slightest pretext, in .express violation of the Con- stitution; armeu miuiuiy lutcucjiiv. ...m elections : a seneral system ot official bribery and party favoritism in every department, and tne aaminisiruuou f trm (Tovcrnment. are nublic national evils, the enormity, extent and danger of which can scarcely De measureu or appreciated by the people subject to them. That these evils do exist is man ifest to everybody. The dearest, highest interests of a free people demand that they shall not close their eyes to such dangers tnn lnntr lest the time shall come when they will find their form ot government changed in name as well as in fact, and their liberties lost. SOURCE OF PUBLIC EVILS THE IIIGHER LAW" OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTT. -Tcf if not all these evils, are attributa ble to the Radical or Republican party o the nation, to its doctrines, policy and practices. It is essentially a party iuimi cal and dangerous to the constitution and public and personal liberty. It is founded upon the despotic dogma that there is a "higher law" than the constitution ; it is emphatically and essentially a -'higher law" party, i nis dogma is ii ine anu soul, and it proceeds on the Jesuitical max ini, that "tlie end justifies the means." Ilenceatis, tue read oi tins pariy, me not hesitate to send the army to JNew iorK ana eisewyer i mo- Uorth, tOL this ' State, Texas and all oyer ft.A firm Hi in- violation of the letter and spirit of the Constitution, to. control the elections and prepare tne way lor his and v,ia nnrtVa continued ascendancy, and his M . "J - j own election, uence, too, we nnu mm fnr iIVa nnrnosea fiusDcndinj? the Drivilene Ar i ia writ, of habeas annus in a time of profound peace, arresting the citizen with out warrant or lawful authority, bot only "by lawless force. . Hence, too, we find: (his party, in Congress avowedly, and in the most' riotous manner, passing laws at one t time to oust the jiuris ' diction, bC the . Supreme Court of the Union to prevent that great' tribunal Who neverjohimself hath from declaring its acts and assaults on the Constitution unconstitutional and void, at another time passing a similar law to " pack" that Court with? partizans to alter a solemn decision already made, but dis tasteful to this "higher law" party. Hence, too, hundreds ot other similar acts done by this party which illustrate the princi ples, policy and practices which we have attributed to it, and which if not arrested and suppressed, must result in the absolute overthrow; of the system of government formed and handed down to us by Wash ington and his compatriots. That such a party has been allowed to spring up on American soil is monstrous and alarming 1 I HE NATIONAI. DEMOCRATIC PARTY THK ONLY OTHER PARTY; There is but one "other great political party in the country that is the National Democratic party. In our judgment, it is the patriotic duty of every lover of liberty and free government to co-operate with that great. and powerful party to arrest the tremendous evils to which we have ad vertedj and which will, sooner or later,, it not suppressed, destroy freedom and es tablish despotism and the sword. POLITICAL DUTY OF ALL PATRIOTS. To accomplish this great measure of re form in our State and National Govern ments, we cordially invite the zealous co operation of every patriot, without regard to his hkherto party affiliations. We stand in determined opposition to the crimes and evils to which we have briefly directed public attention, and we ask all good people to stand with us, trusting that such common patriotic effort, through the blessing of God, may save us and our country from impending danger and ruin.
