that in bitn <iiantism will he perpetuated.
To count Hayes in by fraud and Inaugurate
hint by force oft ho army will be a complete
overthrow' <>f our Itrtpubliean form of

North to look to. Not the South.

ono doubts the potent cllieiency ol
Club organizations in the bite clout ion
contest. Kveii the Chamberlain party
alttabate the success ol the Hampton
reform tielu I to the thorough organization
and potent influence ol the
Democratic Clubs. If Club organiza*
lions were essential to our success in
the last election they arc doubly s<?
now for the peaceful security and
enjoyntent ol tlie benefits and rights
we have achieved in that election,
and which we are entitled to under
llit* Constitution ami laws ol the
Stale.
To reap the benefits of the victory
over '.lie plunder parly, hiirly and
peacefully won at the ballot 1)?>.\, we
must sustain (Jovernor Hampton anil
the legally eloeted Legislature, and
repudiate t!io Chamberlain usnrning
Government, thrust on the people by
trampling under tool the Constitution
and setting aside the Judgments ol
j the Supreme Court by I'residcnt
Grant's bayonet
No government, but that of a despotic
tyrant, can exist over a people
worthy of being tree men without the
consent of the governed, and no government,
can exist without the support
of liio governed, and this must hied
her I reel y given or exacted by toree.
The Hampton Government is the
voice of a majoiity of the people exI
pressed by them at the ballot box.
It lias l ight and law on its side, and in
willing to abide tho decisions of the
Courts as to llie justico ol its claims.
The Chamberlain Government inn
usurpation, set up by ft nng of plunderers
whose sole interests in the Statu
is what they can make J>y holding
office, and their share of plunder in
an unrighteous tax extorted from the
people. This party is sustained I>y a
minority of the people and held in
power by Grant's bayonets.
It. now rests with the people which
of these two Governments, shall he
sustained. If wo want reform we can
have it by sustaining the Hampton
Government, and repudiating Mr.
Chamberlain and his Government.
'This can he cftcoluwlly done by withholding
the payment of taxes lo the
( hamle t lain Government. To do this
s ueoessl u I ly we 111 thorough organt7.:tlion,
and every man must stand
shoulder to shoulder from the mountains
to the sen-board For this purpose
Club organi/.at ionfl should be kept up,
and till who are not enrolled in a club
should join at once.
In ItfOl we rashly male a great mistake
in attempting to go out ol the
Union to light for what we believed
our rights in the Union. We are now
fighting for our rights in the law and
we are willing to leave our ease to the
Courts and abide the decision ol the
l 1
ORT5Y WEEKLY IN
law.
Tho Supreme Court has decided
that tin- Chamberlain < ioverninenl
is illegal and no court will hold lliat
Mich a jo > vt in me t:t cm lawfully levy
and collect taxes, The illegal II ?mm
i* now atten.ptin?j to pass a hill 1< vyinp,
the largest tax over made on the
State. It those who voted lor .Mr,
( hamhcrlain want to pay these taxes
they have a perfect riuhl to do ho, no
one will object ; but to all ??t 11 *i? wo
Hay give the Chamberlain government
no countenance or support.
In t'o 111 km' I ion with this matter we
don't see how Mr. Chamberlain can
now remove or appoint to oilier, IIL
appointments, as matters now arc,
would certainly lie illegal and the acts
ol l\is appointees would ho without
the autiiorit y of law.
t'tiamlici'laiii <111 lite Uur
(icneralissttno Chamberlain seems to
lie proud ol his war record made huminn
in the rear of hen. Sherman's atmy,
He tingles lor its repetition,
lie regards not the Law ol (iod ami
sets at defiance the laws of men:
To overthrow the Constitution, In

This hill is to cooler on him tin

It is currently stated that tlie K ?dical

and ihat it embraces the counting in

sion to intonn .Moshy that it any such
I military extremity arose, he (Mushy)
should have a larger command than
t. any lie had in the Confederate uervieu
during 'he late war. Alosby himstll

e According to the latest advice*
quiet reigns in Columbia?not exactly
t lie same hut nearly similar to that
which reigned in Warsaw. In Warsaw
it was a quiet hat lied in hlood,
hut in Columbia it is a quiet wrapped

great good sense and sell abnegation.
A movement is on foot hero to sub1

Washington, December 18?The
follow ing dispatch to the New York
Tribune may be accepted absolutely
aslbe ut ierance ol the President:
The I'm si tont, in con\ersatiou with
.a IrieieI I hie alienor.; said that In*
had ioceivia 1 no oiiieial inhumation of
any nnlawlul movement in Indiana or
t-bewhere. I le sees occasional reference
in the newspapers to political agita
lion in certain section* ol the country,
and has rectowd inhumation to that
tlci horn other unofficial sources.
The administration, he said, is not
insensible t > the necessity of vigilance,
win i hrr t hose repot ts are t rue or hose.
\\ i h reference to the Indiana excitement
the I'resident thinks that, should
it spread, the loyal sentiment of the
majority ol the people ot that State
and ot the whole country will have inlluetieo
enough to prevent any outbreak.
The I'resident said, further, that it
is gra'hying to observe the cot.servative
spirit shown bv many of the
.Southern leaders. He feels assured
that the same disposition will ultimately
prevail all over the land. He
believes that the men who are now
disposed to incite civil war are only
those who have everything to gain,
and nothing to lose, in the event ot
such a national-calamity. I fan crncr
gency does arise, the I'resident said,
he should not hesitate to exercise his
const it ut ional an t horii y,
\\ liocver m formally declared by
the president ol the Senate to have
been elected will be recognized by
General Grant. fo that person will
he surrender the reins ol authority. It
is not his desire to loree upon the
people any particular person, hut lie
