Next Monday will be a day observed throughout the length and breadth of this long and broad land of ours, as a day set apart and consecrated for the purposes of de- coratinc the craves of those oravc men who die! in the sacred cause of uphold ing their country's flag and their coun try's honor. On that day the many thousands of green, grasy mounds .that mark the last resting places of the noble forms that laid down their lives for their country, will be decked with the fair flowers and evergreens lhat loving hands and tender hearts shall place upon them; and while interested thous- ands listen to the eulogies that may be anJ by a gin;.e act Gf flve ylnC9t ju pronounceil on their deeds of daring, tutv was lo crcct j,, tiic lately rebel many, many of those hearts will have lj0us section Republican Governments, their deepest depths stirred and their tendcrest emotions awakened at the sad thought that the green turfs before them covers all that was mortal of loved ones who shall never meet them on earth again.

And so we of the present day, love to revisit the I graves of the natiou's heroes; to strew resh flowers over them; to drop the I tears of sincere sorrow, and to testify I our appreciation of what they did and suffered for our sakes. The flowers arc symbols of our love, and an expression of our faith in a future and a better life. It is impossible foris to lay our gar lands on the grassy hillside which hedge the bodies of our dead, without stretching forward, and upward as it cal and a dangerous experiment. I said were, in contemplation of the spiritual then, that any party which at that time life.

It a beautiful custom better, far j believe in the legal and political better than cstly monuments of bronze, or cranite, or marble, which minster to pride alone; which remain too often unvisitcd or forgotten; and the letters on which become dimmed by time, or gather the rust of neglect. There is another thought; wbilo the humble, grassy hillocks which mark the place where the nation' dead lie, call forth tears and the tendercst offices of affection; while they teach tbc rising generations tbc lesson of doty so nobly performed; all feeling of sectional bit terness should b remtved, and all per sonal or class enmities buried forever in fonretfulncss.

Editor Wtlinintjlon Pol : Will you allow me space for a word to save your neighbors of the Journal from hysterics? They have recently discovered a mare's nest in the fact that I have expressed a conviction that "there has been a serious if not fatal mistake in the radical programe m the South," and that " Reconstruction has been a failure!" Unfortunately for the cackle which they set up in consequence of this discovery, it is a fact which has been well known to almost every Re publican and not a few Democrats in the State, that from the first I had little confidence in the plan adopted. To my political associates and personal friends, I have never made any secret of my distrust in th eftieency of what are known as the Reconstruction Acts, to secure idc onuS which I believe should have been attaineiibv lhe action of the government 111 regard to the recently rebellious states, immediately after the war. What should have been secured I have lately had occasion to define in these words 'The duty which lay before the gov ernment was not "chiefly nor pnmarial- jT reslorc gtatal relations. That cn,u have been done in ten minutes m wi,ich the rights of all should be sc cured, protected and maintained. Prco speech, free thought, free !abor and a free ballot were strangers to the tcrnfo- I tv ivhirh fpll a vietim to secession. The I very basis elements of republican gov- eminent were lacKing in inosc om states. Reconstruction hiuted at goiDg aclc to these husks. The duty of tjie nation was, to tread them under anj secure to every man in that new domain which its armies had just conquered from slavery, not only the rights of a free man, but the protection an(j security of a free man, and an un- mistakablc guarautce that he might transmit them to his children and they to theirs iu endless perpetuity." In so far as this has not been done, recon struction is a failure. Previous to the passage of tho Re construction acts, I was well known to bo actively opposed to the plan adopt ed. Week after week, through the jour nal then under my control, I protested ajrainst it as insufficient, unphilosophi equality of all men, as the corner-stone 0f our government. I had long beforp subscribe to the , theory that upon this continent and in our government, "Our Clod la working oat In Ills ova way, the truth, Which stands. In fairest terms, upon the page. That bears the record of Ills love to man. That of 'one blood alone the nations all. Are made;' kindred and equals all, and all Alike the creatnres of Ills love and care And heritors alike of earthly good The sky, the air, the land, the sea, belong Alike to all and none may gather to him self His brother's share andgounpunhrhed.'

I rard th rrlm.nt'W aU6gcther delusive in its character;1 but jt had one great merit. It-plarited itself gquarely on the fact that "we, the people" in the preamble of the Declar ati0n of Independence, meant landlord and landless, "gentleman loafers,,mpOor whitc trash," "niggers" and all. lie- lieving in this grand principle, I enter- C(j heartilv into the snirit of the meas- urcs anj & in WY power I my power to secure secured at that timo. I admit, however, that it has achieved one glorious result, which is, perhaps, as much as could rea- sonably have been expected to bo done j one decade, to-wit: It has forced the democratic party, including theSolons'of the Journal, to adniit the legal and po litical equality of the colored man and declare themselves the devoted cham pions of that theory. In other words, it has forced them to admit that yc were right and they were wrong at that time, or else, that they have deliberate ly written themselves down as falsifiers and hypocrites since. Perhaps a policy which has accomplished the conversion or exposed the dissimulation of such men, ought not to be denominated a failure. , But the Journal grows rampant over an old slander, which it puts in an al together new dress. It says: "He it was who hastened on to Pittsburg to tell the gallant patriots of the Gratid Army of the Republic, there assembled, how he had dragged up seven drowned negro infants, 'by the backs,' in orjic mill pond of Guilford county." j Oqe ot the amusements of my life, for the past eight years, has been, 0 keep a scrap book of the good(?) things printed about me iu the Democratic journals, It is entertaining to see in how many forms this slander appears in this ludicrous record. I am charged with having said something of the kind at Philadelphia, New York and Ral eigh. Then Judge Kerr went to Wash ington and swore . that I wrote it to General Abbott, and now the Journal comes out and says I said it in Pitts burg. It is laughable, the straits to which they are driven to keep their slanders alive. They have reported me as ' having ; been born "all along the shore" from Maine to Minnesota: as hnvinp- pa caned from half a dozen neni- tentiaries.and new they try to evade rc- luiauon Dy cnanging tue venue cv very time they revamp an old lie. I did say, at Philodelphia in lSGS, that "I was told by a respectable citi zen of the Quaker county of Guilford, just before leaving home, that fifteen m Ordered negroes had been taken from a fiver in South Carolina." It was so stated at the time iu the report o' every, paper but one, repre sented there. I have these reports be fore me as I write. The man who told me is still living in this county and is willing to state upon oath at any time, that he made the statement to me in the presence of two others. Whether it was true or not I do not know or care. I told it "as 'twas told to me." Such fish have, however, been found in mill ponds in this district since. I say 'hat now. The Journal reproduces the very "thin" charge that the ku klux pre vailed in this district because of my re missness in the judicial office, when it is established by the bworn testimony of the ku klux leaders, that the klan was organized in the district before X had even held a court therein, to-wit; in July, 1868 ! I held my first court in September, 1808, and the 14th of that month is the latest date given of the organization of the klan in any county of the district! They na doubt had a prophetic knowledge of ray shortcom ings and organized for torture and mur der because they foresaw how badly I would do! It is not a singular instance of tho forwardness of the t Democracy to say my words and think my thoughts for me, nor the only time they hare failed to do it correctly. - - The Journal 'states, that I told a cor respondent of a Cincinnati paper a mass of twaddle, which, it recites. I am not aware that I have seen a corres pondent of such a paper in three years, but tho Journal can easily find my views upon this subject, published over my own name, and written t by my- on. promote'' ther ends I desired to see at which : is designed to promote liberty I tun Al Uh.(.lJ T A aJT'nJ' i !

Gueenshoro, May 22, 1S75, What tne Leading Democratic Paper of the West Thinks. Mr. Fernando Wood's slightly con fident assertion that "nothing can beat the Democratic party in 187G " Was a little too windy to meet with much ap proval anywhere. The St. Louis Re publican remarks that Mr. Wood's sort of talk is exactly the thing -which can defeat the party, and then asks him to contemplate these cold tacts : lie ought to know, docs know, that the Re publican parly is tho roughly organized and equippcd,i aud 11 oiling can defeat it but the most brilliiant generalship and the best of luck on the, part of its adversary. Why,fcJicn, docs he indulge in such childish chatter, whiChyill uot frighten our enemy,, and will, if be lieved, demoralize our friends? TLc Presidential race will be no 'walk-over' rest assured of that. Political walls cemented by sixteen years of unbroken power will not tumbledown at the blast of-Democratic rams' horns. They must be judiciously mined first and bravely assultcd afterwards. If we carry them shall be fortunate, and anything Which tends to delude Democrats with the after the hardest kind of fighting wc idea that the task before tbem is an easy one, is nothing less than criminal folly. Mr. Weed 'would be much better employed in impressing upon his follow ers the necessity of winning and hold ing the. Independent vote. In that .vote lies the balance of power WTith it the Democracy islolerably sure of victory; without it tho Democracy is absolutely certain ot defeat." Ev. There is a.
