We charge that pan ty with array ing ra(ce againist race, creating dis tu'bances, and fomenting diflicl ties ; with prostitiing tile elet.eiv franchise, tiiipering wtithi the bal lot-box, and hohling unfair and fraudulent elections with having' IccuIuilatte-l all 011011ae o0os debt, llislaIlmugedl the finances, 11ad inl jureud Ite credit, of the State ; with Jerying exorbitant taxos and11 squall der iing them when collected'(, tilis wringing front the toil ad liveli hoo(1 of the honest. poor man of the State, ia large pe;-cen tumn of his hard earliligs, without giving inl retin any co)pe!nstmiain therefor ; and with hopelessly involving in dclt a majority of the counties of the State.

W'o ask but a tritl of comI m iitting the State to our keeping, and if good gov'ernmnent, security, protection and prospol ity do not dawn in onr over-taxed, desnoilnd and disheartened people, then drive us from power, with scorn and in - dig un tion. Our object is reform, retrenchment and relief, that by I honesty and economy we may ro (llee the taxes and lighten the bt11then1s of the people ; giving at the samo10 timane .lit. socurity and protection to the riights and proper ty of all. Upon this paramount 185110 we cordially invito the co op1eriation of every Democrat and Rtepublican who is earnest and will ing in this crisis of our State , to unite with us in this great work. What tho Troops Will do in the South. Many members of Congress made a strenuous opposition to the bill authorizing the enlistment of twun ty- live hundred additional cavalry men to serve ag ainst the Indians. The ground of opposition was that thle o a1re abundant troops in the South that might le employed a.i .inst the Indians. Even without :sny minute investigation this allega tion would S0ent1 to be \Vell founded. It is p reposterous and( incrodibIe that with an army of twenty-five thllousandl men the government ca not niutster at force of imiore than three or four thousand for active service in an emergency. Acting on thi i presimptioni we have caused car'ful ingnires to ho made, and the result is stated in deta .1 in our cor respolidence elsewhei e. 'T'he reader will find a full amind authentic state ment of the llInnber of Fiedeoraxl troops in 41ho Sitlierni States, with the n.ane of eachi company and the place where it is stationed. 'T'he conclusion from these detailed state liments is that live regiinents might be spares from the military posts in the Southm to reinforce Crook and Terry in their campaign against the Sioux. There is, of course, n1o re:t son why those troops should not be kept in tie South for poennialry roa sons so long as there is no memploy ment for them (elsewhere ; but it is a wasteful absurdity to umaintain idle soldiers inl the South while we are prosecuting amn active campaign against the Indians with an insulli cient force. The State militia should bo adequate for every emeirgency in the South, or if the militia of any particular State cannot bet relied on to put down a riot, and IF'eleral as sistanee should be needed, it i., lawful for the President to call out the militia of the States whose loyalty and tidelity could be safely trusted. We aisk attentih n to the striking exhibit preselted by our Washing, ton correspondent. Thwe order from Secretary Cameron to General Sheirmian, which we also print, shows that the adihninist rat ion mlnas had a very defini to use to muake of those troops all the time, and we at once see why Crook and Terry have been dellberately lef1, without ade Cjlate support. It is expecte.1 that ieb fivo regimen t.s will carry, four of the Southern States, by whipping the negi ."ss into line who have e itiier hi)1ome listless in polities or wandered off to the Demmo:-rtey, mad by terrifying the "fiendisli" white liners h.to subjection.

Chalmers, at Friar's Point, Mie sissippi. When the broad term intimidatioi is used, it b(ecomieR necessalry to in quire what is meant by it. and iliwetlh er there are times aid ciretunitice in which it may become not oni lawful, but eminently proper rmt essentially necessary for the prote tion of public or private rights When the thief is restrained by fc:u of punislment from the colutissiot of im'i , when vice stalls alashei in die presence of virtue, it m-ty be said that these are the resuit of in thniidaltion ; when the midniiit rob ber flies from the wrath of tlh awakonel household, it its because h( is intimidated ; when a dastardly mob is arreste 1 by some brave man, who plants himnself in their front, and threatens to kill the first Ia rindors who Iidvanee, they p ue, beeausce they aie intindatud ; wion pack of cowardly bounds fly howi oug in terror oud( yelping in pmin, from some noble mastiff, whom they have assailed, and who, in self delense, has tuirnol upon them, it is because they are intimidated. And Scotland's sweetest bard has said : -'The f( nr u' h ell's hungml. n's whip. T 1o Laud the % reicth'I ii urdtr." And, yet, who will say that such int.iimjid:itioin is either iimpropor or reprehensible ? THE TRIE STORY OF TiE LATE ELECTION But we emphatically deny that iny illegal intimidation or that any fraudulent voting was practiced in the late election ; and we insist that the true theory of tlt, result is to lfe foend in the bold front, de ternined etflorts, and in the grand spectacular display and (enonstra tionl made by the Pemnocratie party. ''he degro is fond of demonstration alldl display, andi, being trained to ob-lifence in time days of slavery, he giv, anlunduo weight to the exili.. bit'on of power, and naturally in-. clines to that side which seems to be the strmges-t. In 18G8, even after the odious Legislature of 1805, of which so much cnpit.d has since been made, we had but little trouble in carr"ying the election in the State of Mississippi, because w'e then luu confidence in our own strength, and time negro voted with Nu because we impressed him with our confidence and infused into him a belief in our power. But when our victory was taken from us, when our election was dclaet(d void, ani our o ' rs refused adimission to the seats which they had beel elected to, we lest confidence in ot1 selves ani open ly aknowledged t.Lat we woro pow - eriess in the hands of the Fe l'ral government. r't: negro was tpi'k to prcive our1' wealkiess, and with the instinct ot his natore abaniloned u1.. an11d seeking the strong side, allied himself w'ith the lithu cal party. Our1 de)ression amiiiouinted huloillst to despair, and in the hour of our greatest adversity we appeal to the negro to relievo us from the heel of oppression. But our appeal fell on cold an id caillous ears. The mass15 of the ne~groes had~i pissed tiiler the comi plete' contal of 01ear p~ot-bag~ leaders anid negro pioliti, (e~ni1, andi- these nmot onmly turned a d['1 ear' to ourl entre& di'.-, but gloat ed ver our fallen condiit ion.

But a moro quiot, peaco:llo ' 1l( orderly electioni "was never held in this or any other SLidte. If there wa8 any intiiiidat.ion inl this, it was bult the intimidation nhich outiaged vii uo inspires in cringing vice. It was tle illtimidatioln of the thief when the ofilcers of the law are on his track ; it was the intiunidati-an of tht hmigry Wolf when the sutddein apponraco of the lastor drives hint from the bleeding lmnh he is abrimt to devour ; it Was tho intimidation which fell upon the polluters of the tompl!e when the Saviour of mankind in righteous indignation, drove them out from his Fatlier's house. The gi:ant of lississiippi had been shorn of his strength, and lay bound, blidm and hleecing before Atmes and his minions, and when suddenly, like Salpson, he snapped the cords that. bound his liblll, the hearlts of the persoctors were stricken witlh tor-. ror, and they cried aloud for Jederail troops to refasten the shackles upon hin Gov. Ames knew fill well that when once the sovereigIity ot Mississippi Was aroused that lhe would be powerless, and lie knewd that when once his weatkiess was exposed. the negro would desert himn like rats deserting a sinking ship.

'A Nogro's IReason for Vot.ug thte Pomo, oratjo T1oot , Yesterday I heard an old negro explaining to a few of his color hia reason: for having voted the Demo' cratic ticket Said he, as ho made tiecco ejgstures with his weather beateni hand, "Yes, you're right ; I did vote the Democratic tiekot. Its the first time I ever did, and unless they run this here gov'mont, better than the Iliadicals have, it will be the last time. I propose to try 'em. Why is times hard, and why ain't thanr no money in the country ? The Radicals are playing smash with overything. I conionood for to vote the 1Radioal tickot over two years ago, and over since that time money has been getting soarcet' and scarcer, and now I don't see a $10 bill once a month. I hain't got cents now where I used to have dollars when I commenced for to veto the 1Radical ticket. We must have a change in this lioro business, or we'll all go up, white and black alike. Talk about the Rtadicals being friends to the colored men I Any man with half of one eye can see that they ain't friends to any body but themselves. They're arter the offic which draws them big pay and takes all the money out of the country, and makes cotton go down so that a darkoy oan't earn enough . in a year to buy a hoo--cake for Christmas. That's what they do, Who lent me a mule last summer to inish my crop, when mine had broken his log trying to get over the fence 'z Was it a 1Radical ? No ; they'd have sood my crop go to woods afore they'd have did it, Fact is, mighty few 6f them have anly mules to lond, It was a Demo eralt who camne to me and says, 'Joe, you've had bad luck ; you will lose all your work unless you can get a nag to finish your crop. Go to my stable and get that old mule that's lind in one eye, and pay me what's right for her when tho crop is mode.' I paid hin up like a man. When I was sick last summhier, and did'nt have a bite in the house to eat, who brought inc the hunk of bacon ? It was this 'ore samo Democrat, and now when he wants my vote he can got it. A man who sticks up to me, I'll stick up to hint all the time," anl, so saying, the ancient negro walked on, leaving his little oircle of listeners to comment upon his spuech and digest his wisdom.-, )ilton, (6Ga.)
