Address of tbe National Executive Com? mittee of the Democratic Party. NEW YOKE. October 21.-The Democratic National Committee have issued au address wLich makes np allusion to a chancre of can didates. It says:-We are charged by thc Radical party with violence and usurpation, while, foi* the last four years, to prolong its own ? xi-.ter.co, it bas set at naught thc cpn s itmion and iumlamcntul principles of our government. They say trat we intend revo jutiou and d?fiance of- the established laws. The charge "is unfounded : nd absurd, lt cannot bc entertained fir a moment by an intelligent, voter, who Las even the most su perficial knowledge of the history of his coun try. The Democratic party can proudly point to every page pf its record. It has - never violated a single obliga! ion (if the fun damental, compact by which tht-so United .

And no man, nor M I of men, however high they might be placed .by I he suffrages- of their le How citizens, can i-xuect to receive the "support of this great Conservati ?c party in any revolutionary ut tempi against the established laws.

This representation pf thc Democratic Clubs of Abbeville County laments all acts of vio lence, and especially tho murders cf James Mar'in aud B. F. Randolph, lately perpe trated. : It is manifest that the policy of the Radi cal party is to/produce in tho North the be lief uf a.rebellious temper in the South, and active partisans here have, by fiction and ex aggeratibn, misrepresented " the conduct of Southern whites, scrupling mt to excite the violence which they pretend to deprecate. It has, of course, been our policy to pre serve peace. For this end we have exerted our'mllaer.ee, but. in every community they aro desperate men who aro as deaf to thc sug gestions of prudence, as they are reckless of tbe rrsiraims of mora-lity. lu the present condition of affairs, we have no law, t jr in this circuit there is no' ju ige, and in circuits wlw*r? there are judges the expanse* cf couru m ?y l?e brought up.m thc State, but business ia not doue.

The motion waa East and West, and damage confined to the luwei part of tho city, below Montgomery street among old buildings on made ground. Th? Custom House, which was badly shattered by the earthquake of 1?65, is now considered unsafe and the officials have removed to th< internal revenue building. Business in ttu lower part of ihe-city is suspended,the streets thronged and great excitement prevails. Par apct walls and chimneys ftf many building* fell, causing some loss of lifo. The damage will not exceed a million dollars. The shod was severe at Oakland, damaging many build i ogs. The earth opened in several places smelling fiulphuroiuily. Tb?

No wonder the Democrats were defeat? in Ohio. Thc negroes voted in direct viola tion of"the Constitution. It is well know? the Radicals attempted to strike out the wort white from -the State Constitution last year to give thc right of suffrage to the negro hut the people voted down the proposition hy fitly thousand majori tv. Notwithstanding this em photic decision thou.ta nd s of negroa trer? allowed to vote al precincts wltere Un Radical* hail control of the election boards This fraud was perpetrated undercover of? JecUion of the Radical Supreme Court ot Ohio, which declared a mulatto not to bea negro ; but thc Radical managers did not con fine themselves even to a strict observance of the Radical Supreme Conrt decision, for it is charged that they allowed.evrry negro to vote who came to the polls with a Radical ticket, no matter how black his skin, or crUp bia wool. With this additionall force of fraudulent voters, we do not at all wonder that Ohio went Radical, but it remains to be seen whetb er the people of that State will tamely sub mit tn be outraged in this manner and cheat ed out of their rights and liberties by whole sale fraud and corruption. We think not. Il they do, then the people of Ohio will be re duced to.thc same condition as thc unfortu nate people of the Sooth-a prey to an insa tiate horde of office-hunters who seek not the public good, but the people's property and money. 3 \in p^.f-io. ~? x'-?. :-..io mt-a mn.
