WILMINGTON, N. G;V THURSDAY MORNING? JANUARY 9, 1868,
sentiments of a Radical Governor.
the tollqwing paragraphs from the recent
message of Gov. Bullock express very clear
ly the sentiments of Northern Radicals.:
Referring to national matters, Gov. Bul
lock says : . c
We have destroyed involuntary servitude,
we have manumitted a race of men, conced
ed to them equality civil and political
rights. In the proceedings of the Conven
tions in the Southern States, which they
have mainly controlled, J believe that after
making due allowances, they have displayed
a praiseworthy moderation. It is a sacred
duty to insure them protection in the enjoy
ment of their rights. We have guaranteed
this, but we must alsa, remember there are
millions of the white race who cannot, and
must not always be retained in the position
of abject foesT-millions Whose productive
labor is necessary for the discharge of n a-
tional obligations, which - must never be re-
puuiaiea, ana wnose good will and coopera
tion are essential to, a complete and thorough
reunion. Let us then hear no more of con
fiscation and attainder for the Southern
masses. ; Let us make an end of illiberal and.
unfriendly legislation, and while compro-'
mising no principle lor which we have con
tended, let us restore those lately in rebellion
to equality, of rights as speedily as is consis
tent with the national safety. The present
obstacles to reconstruction must come to a
speedy end, whether they be interposed by
unrepentant rebels, by a President who does
hot make treason odious, or by those whom
his policy has deluded into renewed resis
tance. The welfare and will of the people
require peace. Peace from the turmoil of
mind as well as from turmoil of war. Peace
for their finances, for their industry, for their
commerce; and having the determination
and power, there s no mistaking the agency
by which they intend to enforce it. If em
bittered men refuse to accept the boon that
j is prpffered, the responsibility, the shame,
and ruinous consequences will be theirs
alone.; If they are so blind to their own in
terest as to incite hostility between races,
they will find that the nation is strong, that
the nation will maintain' its, guarantee. , No
rights of loyal men will be surrendered to
effect any settlement whatsoever. Equality
of rights and universal suffrage ape irrever
sible facts. The wheels 61 revolution do
not roll backward. In the march of civil!
zation arid democratic .ideas ths nation
takes no backward step. Ulysse's- S. Grant I
It is thoecord of history that in great pub
lic crisis the instinct ot a nation points with
unerring sagacity to some man of the people
whom they adopt at once, in the assurance
j of faith, as their. chosen champion and de-
liverer, and by a natural law this abiding
confidence is through its own soothing pow
i er the surest guarantee ot success. -In this
f dark hour of national exigency we have need
i of a leader whose integrity is uncorrupted
by political associations, and whose patriot?
; ism has riot permitted him to descend to the
i arena of partisan warfare of a tried leader
j of undaunted courage, who will be swayed
judice of a man of cautious Reticence, who
1 has nn inhnnsistfinnips to RxnWin. no nolitio.j.
trtffishlwwi,,.,, ..wi:rnm,iifAt0 f
a leader, who comprehen
relations of all sections of our common coun
trv. and will bring to. the.' administration of
public affairs executive ability, economical
ideas, a clear head arid an honest heart. It
is manifest that it is the same Providence
which brought us safely through the storm
of war, that gives this whole people now
with singular unanimity to recognize in a
plain and unpretending f citizen, him whose
energy, discretion, and exalted patriotism
will restore peace and prosperity to discord
ant States and a distracted land." The man
for the crisis ; the man for the hour; the
man of the people, is Ulysses . Grant, lie
tore'hisgpreeminent fitness for the high office
to which a gratetul nation would elevate
him, let personal preferences yield; let fac
tion subside, that peace, good will and union
may once more and forever abide through
out the Republic. The Governor closes with
a warm eulogy upon his predecessor, John
A. An dre w. '
i - - K
To the various explanations offered as to
the meaning of the President's message about
General Hancock, the following by Mr. Nas
by may be added as by no means the worst
or the least probable. Mr. Nasby is urging
his political chief to praise the general's re
cent declaration of principles : ,
"Assert that Hancock is the fust officer in
command, since the close uv the late on-
pleasantnis, who hez given utterance to such
sentimence in his orders, and demand that

How a Gander Went Fishing. bays
The Belfast Journal : :' A farmer, living near
Pichers Pond, was perplexed by a masculine

He was conveying the flock gradually across

K BJ sa?s7 . , ' '
'J We ask all our readers to consider Grant's
Pnomination sblelv on its merits.
Tf it T??a!t- w. it - We
ucuttYti n can, tor mese reasons.
First Gen. G'rant;is and has proven it) in
entire sympathy with the people as to' the
main ideas of the war, which were the pre
servation of the nation, the enforcement of
its authority, and the eradication of all
snurces of division. No one doubts or can
dotbt this. His acts prove it. He was com
pletely ruled and inspired by these ideas.
He never faltered in his efforts to bring the
war to an end which would insure their tri
umph. He persued them with a singleness
of heart, a patient' resolution, an unrelaxing
will and a comprehensive fidelity to them
which no other soldier surpassed, and vf hich
very few equalled-
Second. Since the war General Grant,
almost alone of our public men, has made no
mistake, He early recognized and enforced
in his official position the view that Congres
was. the final arbiter, and the only legitimate)
originator of any systam ot reconstruction.
He thus advised the President, and when
encouraged by the demeanor of Mr. Johnson,
the Southern press fbvilled Congress, he isf
sued an order to compel them to respect the
people's representatives. It is idle to rel
hearse the evidences of his cordial loyaUty
to the National legislature. His plan, sensi
ble appreciation ot the prerogatives and du
ties of that body, his sincere and siinpleac
ceptance ot its action as the right interpre
tation of the people's will, are facts of un
told value to the nation. And further than
that, his straightforward trust in thd people,
his accurate and hearty accordance with their
willl in the matter ot General Sheridan,
show that he can b.e trusted because fee trusts
his fellow citizens.

Imporast to Fathers. -A Frenchman
has recently made a great discovery. It is
of special value to parents, as it refeers to
the case of perversity in turdulent children.
Suppose a boy of seven years old has been
"carrying on." The father simply says :
"John you have been a' bad boy to-iay; I
shall take a year from your age, you are now
no ' more than six years old." In every case
the young rebel subside into angelic docil
ity..contingent oil the father's restoring to
I hini again the missing year.
Has there been a grand job squelched in
Louisiana ? The : dispatches indicate it
Generalj Steedman was in for the aflair, and
that fact of itself "doth make it smack some
what." j He telegraphed to Mr. Johnson to
urge that Mr. Wells be restored as Governor
before midnight of the 31st of Deeember,
that he might restore the Levee Bond Com
missioners who werei removed by General
Sheridan, since, unless' all this was done, the
bonds issued by those Commissioners would
be worthless It is not shown that the State
would suffer materially by this disaster, but
it is apparent that some of Steedman's friends
would lose money---and what is the interest
of the State compared with theirs! Happi
ly, Congress succeeded for once in giving to
Generals Grant the power over removals
which it intended to give him. , The matter
had to be referred to him, and he let it alone.
The first of January came,, and Governor
Wells and the Bond Commissioners were
not . restored. General Steedman's" friends
have lost; their job. jbut the Louisiana levees
are probably, as nearly rebuilt, and will in
the end be built as cheaply as if these bonds
had been invalidated.
The first formal popular protest to
Mr. Seward's wiid goose chasing schemes of
annexing every country he can get hold of
comes irqm ine Jooston merchants, who are
circulating petitions to the v Senate against
tne continuation of the St. Thomas treaty.
mi. - i . t ' - ! .
uey seem as me cniei consequence oi an
annexation, that the territory will probably
be held py the United, . States as a colony,
which will be governed by a mere set of
office-holders, and give rise . to a great deal
of official corruption. -
They irgue, also, that the island will be
of little ieal military or naval use, inasmuch
as the West India Islands are held bv several
Powers, some of whom will be friendly to
us. and treat us fairly in any , war that is
likely to arise. Brooklyn Union.

IMPORTANT CERTIFICATE
Rochester, December 28th, 1861. ;
Messrs. P. H. Drake. OenUemeri : I have suf
fered terribly with. Dyspepsia for three or four
years, and tried many remedies without effect. I
had to abandon my profession, and suffer id great
ly from everything I ate. 1 have njpw tried the i
Plantation Bitters they helped - I continued
their dbc, and am uoir nearly a we tSUZJ?"
ot several similar cases. B"'v

Intelligent persons and physicians can judge
on the efficacy of the Plantation Bitters from the
following partial formula :
CASCARILLA BARK
Was known and used in Germany for Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhoea, Cholic, Dysentery, and Dis
eases ef the Stomach and Bowels, as early as 1690
DANDELION.

Dropsical Affections and Biliary Secretions,
Obstructions of the Abdominal Viscera. I .

CAL1SAYA, OR KING'S BARK,
Was unknown to civilization until the middle o
the 17th century. Humboldt makes favorable
mention of the febritugc qualities of this article
as an Antidote Fever and Ague, Intermittent
and Malarious Fevers, in his extensive South
American travels. The Countess, wife of the.
Viceroy of Peru, having experienced the benefi
cial effects of the Bark, sent it to Europe in 1640.
It was sold by the Jesuits for the enormous sum
of Us weight in sUver, and was thus called Jesuits'
Powder. In 1658, Sir John Talbot employed It
with great success in France in the treatment of
Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Nervous Affections
Loss of Appetite, Weakness and Debility, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Diarrhoea, &c, under the
name of English Powder ; and in 1679, ' ho sold
the secret ol its origin to Louis XIV, by whom ,
it was divulged. It is now a standard remedy in
all Pharmacopoeia, and Is employed in prepar
ing the Plantation Bitters, ,
