"When tli?*<1cvil was sick, (he devil a saint 11

It is one of the great pleasures of the j1
Carn-ieu .Toun.m. to receive the "Con- j(
grcs-inul Record," and from its pages j(
we read the awful agonies an J groans of jl
the dead, dying or to be def.d politicians (
Tn it we see vividly the stage upon
which the monkey, the baboon, the lion^ j
the hippopotamus and, last of all, but 1
by U'i means least, the jackass, who cuts '
his most accomplished feats. In it is 1
the gr ind nu'uagerte, and the voracious '
animals that lie therein always play to i1
ill! tune that gives them a hunk {'
of meat, or even a parched peanut. In j'
contemplating this thing, we will for a 1
time be pardoned for turning to Wa^h- ;
ington. the head center now of the great i1
political circus, with Mr. II ayes as "boss
dog,'" Sherman as ticket agent. Conk- '
" ?iinftAi< nnd I
Jing as chit, umuic US IllUOiVi | uuu
the lion. Mr. M. A. McCoid, of Iowa, j'
as "agent, with limited powers," for the J
the whole concern. The sccdc at first 1
looks like tragedy, though there isn't i'
tnueii in it after all. But to the paint. |(
Not long since we readfn the 'Congress- !1
ional ltecord" a speech of the distin- |k
guished member from Iowa, Mr. McCoid. j1
In it we saw the blood of persecution aud :'
wrong poured forth. In it we saw the j
waddling shifts of a politician attempt- ' ^
ing not to serve country, but to drown '1
reason; and by adroit sophistry to cover j1
the issues that were involved. In it we j 1
heard the soft music of the reptile. |'
Behind it we saw the bitter passion of r
the hater. It chilled us to read his 1
words. It made us thiuk, "can this i1
tiling never be endnd?"
.. ! <
'.Therefore, we commented upon mc !
apceeh of the learned gentleman, and j
forwarded our paper wuh those com- j j
nients. lie writes us tlio loiter which
to-day wc publish, and which, in our
judgement, is as far from real, g nuinc, ^
weii based reasoning as the torrid zoue
is from the icebergs of Alaska. Lot us,
if wo can, take them up and reply to
them. In Billingsgate we never deal,
and from this we shall be free. Face to
face, tnau to man, and truth as our capstone
wc- fear not the powers of earth.
First, Mr. McCoid docs not desire
to he considered a "uurscr of animosity."
IIow then are wc to judge you?
Must we trivc a denial to your feelings,
and not judge you by your words? |
Must we muse the disease in which we i
know there lurks contagion ? Must we I
look upon you as a saint, as a balm for j
nil discord, when from jour heated I
wreath you denounce us as "traitors, j
rebels, murderers?" Surely not 1 It j
is contrary to nature, and as well might
you ask the foot to discharge the fuuc- |
tinn <>f the heart as to make any such '
request. As to your loss in the late |
war, we can only say that we lost too.
Brothers beside your own sleep in un- I
known graves. To the memory of these
bl-ssed men we can drop a tear, pray for
theireternal happiness, and wish too that
we had filled their places. You goon.
You sneak of our interest as one. Of
course it is! Everything proves and I
shows that; but how can that iuterest be j
properly subserved, when as partners, we '
afAmnliv hear the crv of denunciation !
from one side of th*e partnership. Does
tiiis encourage kinuuess and confidence?
does this heal wounds? Certainly not!
put only creates distrust, and makes us !
(distrust you.
Our Learned friend takes a long |
breath goes on and even -ides upon j
the waters of the Atlantic, is fanned ;
by the breezes of the Pacific, and
perhaps, takes his water draughts !
from the great mountain? of the North- i
went. Inspired thereby, be uses this j
sublinu, beautiful and truthful lan- .
gunge : "Great errors destroy confi- |
dcDc; great crimes ruin character for- i
> ?' _ - l-j i ,.n j
ever. i cs, mucin . i^atujr ovj > >? .
this being truth, upon what hinge can
you possibly claim a semblance of con- j
sideration ? Loss of character to the j
Republican party! los3 of anything to |
them ! Why. whore's your Belkoap? j
Where's your Colfax? Wiiere's your
Sawvcr ? Where's your horde of smaller
f/y, personified in the persons of Durell, j
Moses, llullock, ft tJ omne genus? It i
takes no echo to answer. The loud j
voice of truth thunders forth, ,8thev are !
gone, and gone, too, because the uncrr- |
iag sword of justice follows their path
and crowds them to the very gates of
the penitentiary* Let "errors and lots ;
;iinnr> if VOU DrOPOSe tO ;
keep your party clear from tlie meshes
of guilt that binds them now and for- ;
ever.
Then, again, c^mes "jealous anxiety." |
Jealous of what? Jealous of this coun- j
try which we helped to make. Jealous 1
of the memories that cluster around i
King's mountain, Ilobkirk and York- I
town. Jealous of the doiegs of Jasper, i
and on down to Duena Vista, Mexico <
and Cerro Gordo. This is all that you I
cau be jealous of. Jealous because w j'
I cn-diiHTK mrnmmmmmauaMxwmdnwriiairtr IWMi?
do not continually cry to you, pcrovi!
nrruri! per<tvi! No, wo don't; we
don't menu to, either. So, cnouuh of
this.
Now, for us to discuss the constitutional
question involved in this case, it
is needless. It is no dcw tiling eimer
n England or in this country to see
impropriation bills attached to army
.tills. One is an indisoluble link that
>iuds both together, and as well might
he learned Congressman attempt to
lcuionstrate "alibi" when presence is
istnblLhed, as to assume any such
rround. Look to the record of your
)wu party, and if it be revolution, then
isk yourself why howl now when you
iave been such adepts in it so long. To
ecount the enormities of the crimes peroctrated
under the guise of "protecting
he ballot box," would be but to tell a
ale, though fresh to us, yet covered
with all the sores of injustice, brutality
uid wrong. Let us, however, pass on
tiurriedly, as we must.
Mr. McCoid says, "we would not Jet
you alone iu the madness of rebellion,
In the weakness of famine, in the dismay
of pestilence " As far as rebellion
joes, we have nothing now to say. To
:hat great and never changing arbi:er,
the sword, wo left it, It has deci.
led agaiust us and its arbitrament to us
s final. We purpose uo longer to bring
jp this question. We sealed the ver]ict
with the blood of a quarter of a
r.illion of as noble men as ever the
south or any other country [produced,
ind that seal we care not to break. In
he dismay of pestilence you were with
is. Our hearts have felt grateful to
you for if, and a thousand times ten
housand times have our prayers gone
id for you when the great and terrible
aionster of yellow fever raged among us,
ind when you so kindly helped us. To
- J -4.- C 4 A
iay ttoui it is in goou uisie iur )uu nu? iu
brow up these acts of char it j. wo canjot.
Perhaps our teaching was differin
t. To us it appears, to say the least
)f it, exceedingly bad.
We do not care to evade any of the
propositions laid down by the distinguished
writer, and, seriatim, wo could
nail to the most of inconsistency and
oiisrepreaontatiou every position that
he lias so defiantly taken. To history
we are willing to leave our case; and
when the soldiers of the late Cotifeder
ate States are placed side by side with
those that before them have adorned
the pages of by-gone years iu martial
splendor, we feel that no blush or tiugc
will rise upon the cheeks of our yet unborn
children. Let us hasten on. Mr.
McC'oid -says that "the llepublican
nnrfr is nnd alwavs has been the friend
of (he distressed, the poor, the wronged
and the weak and on this account he
enjoins upon the young men of the
South to join it. Great lleavcus! Ask
the infant to forget its mother's bosom.
Ask time to stop. Ask the heavens to |
veil itself forever in clouds, and ask j
the stars to shine no longer, and then
might we hear your monstrous request
aitb'sGuus degree of patience. What
has the llrpublican party ever done for
us? It has bankrupted our State. It
has pltfced in high positions of trust
men who are dow fugitives from justice.
It has disgraced the high and
exalted bench by placing thereon venal!??A.*n.Un.vj
ind />rtvviir>rinn Tf
njf) lllWId
has engendered strife. It has arrayed
race against race. It has shed innocent
blood, and dragged to prison the noblest
and best of our people. It has made
blacker the eulendar of crime, and
dr?nk up the pitiful pavings of the
widow a>?d tlio little of the orphan in
riotous liying. 'A'his party being guilty
of this, and more too, we are nBked to
join it. Good Lord deliver us !
Then again : ' I hate, I hate with an
eternal hatred," the Democratic party,
&c.?for really here Mr. McCoid -'roars
and cussrs too.!' Why not, sir ? It is
the party of trgth, It is the party of
constitutional liberty. It is the party
Chut made this "great Union" what it is,
and it is the party vjjoh which its future
depends. Ilate it! Of course you do.
It seeks no revolution; an^by the an
pry throes of revolution you mounted
the wave of power, and as another
revolution it. uli pap save you, you
cry revolution, thereby hoping to bring
about the greatest desire of your heart.
We, however, caught the devil at revolution,
ayj we propose carefully to let
it slono. Democracy m^au; no rcyolu
i ? i _*
uon, ana uns is enougu to uiaKo you
damn and hate it.
The South is weary of strife and discord.
She wants peace. It is to her
the greniciit and most desired blessing
on earth. She is to-day true to (his
country in all of (he solemn duties and
obligations that devolve upon her. She
bears in her face no duplicity, and she
seeks only to rebuild and bring to life
again the torn and wasted pbcc;;. The
high-sounding pauegcry from the learned
Congressman, of a "right-shoulderchift,"
is not her work, her wishes or
her desires, it is f&fp the fertile brain
of one who knows her bcc. To denounce
is easy. Washington once bore
the epithet of traitor, Benedict Arnold
af god. Warren Hastings crushed for
treasure, by Ills own instrumentality,
the bravest and brightest spark that
ivas iu bis whole kingdom, wbcu Le lot
- I I I I 1 I ! II I ?
loose the dogs of war upon the ltohill:?s.
and history always repeats itself
We yon sceui never to tire of abusing
and denouncing. If your love of God
were half as much as your hatred of U9,
then indeed would wo believe that
something good hereafter awaited you.
Thrtiirrli "in the dismnv of DCStilence"
you were with us, yet in the calm days
of pence you are against us. Misrepresentation
and calumny arc your weapons.
Hatred and malice your companions
Quiet and peace would sound your
death knell, and the political hearse
would bear away' your putrid corpse
forever from view if ?hesc good words
would prevail. You must fight against
it. You must crush it, or you are ended.
It is your policy, your aim, and
the cloven foot will show, despite the
coat of sugar you have placed over it.
| In specious words you deal, Mr. Mc?
j Coid. They are sweet to listen to, if
i for one moment they had even a grain
of truth in them. But all of the salve
that you can use is wiped quickly off
by the deep dyed hatred which crops
out in every line and sentence of your
letter. You are a first-rate saint while
sick, but a devil of a saint, we know,
.
when well.
The distinguished gentleman charges
us with garbling a portion of his speech
We, in reply to this, can only say that
wo copied verbatim from the Covgrcs*
sional Record, and have no apology to
make on that score. We leavo Mr. Mc?
Goid with the hope that the veil of
darkness will fall from bis face, and
that he may have some appreciation of
justice, right and truth.
Letter from Hon. M. A. McCoitl.
House or Representatives,
Washington, D. C.t April 19. 1879. ;
To the Editor of the Camden Journal.
My Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your
letter of the IGth. In reply, permit me to
say :
It is with the greatest reluctance that I was
led to take the glance of history to which
you refer, and I do not wish to be regarded
as an ungenerous nurser of the animosities
of civil war. I would not willingly reproach
one of past offenses, where I did
uot regard.such reference a duty. But in
this case the firebrand was put in a supply
bill, not by us, but by your representative
tni. _.i i
men. 1 iic uuiut's1. wus prcuipnaicu uj
those who sliould have given supplies to
maintain the "Great Union," without making
these political ami partisan, and even
war measures, an issue. Will you uot,admit
to force a fight upon the repeal of war
measures, is "to continue to harp upon issues
dead so loug ago J" Who is the guilty
party Who stirs up the unwouted
strife? Those who honestly resist, or
those who, however sincere in such u method,
bring forward the bone of contention
? It is necessary sometimes to "wound
to heal." It is in this spirit alone that I
appeal to sad history for lessons and light.
Into that struggle 1 had the honor, from
the hour of the shot upon the flag at Fort
Sumter, to resist you, when, us you say,
you "fought us a hard tight.'' A prepiops
brother in its battle carnage lost his right
arm, and soon after his-mangled body fol
lowed it to a patriot'sgrave. In tiie review
of an instant as I write, I call tc piiud my
best friends and companions of boyhood
swept down to untimely death, murdered
for the unholy cause of rebellion. My
friend, for personally you are not else,
your present condition is a matter of deep
interest to me. My country is bounded by
no State or section. The Atlantic washes
its cast, the Pacific its west, and its coast
line is unbroken from Muiue to Oregon,
(figuratively.) Its mountaiu ranges and
its rivers oiako it indivisible. We arc, and
wc ought to be, one. Our interests are
the same, especially to South and West,
but no less also to East. But the faith in
your loyalty, and you must admit justly, is
greatly weakened. Great errors destroy
confidence. Great crimes ruin character
for life.* And do you expect a wounded,
torn, blecdiug and burdened country <o
impetuously enthrone you9 f)o yoii not
expect to be doubted=-to arouse distrust by
doing^lubious demand? And is it not
from i^alous anxiety for the preservation
of the government that these feelings
spring ? I assure you it is not from partisanship.
If it was beyond doubt that, the
constitutional purity of this nation, the
rights of men, the full and free suffrage,
and the consideration of the Union would be
preserved by the people of all sections, the
anxious people of the North would retire
from lbo ciitp.i of its watchful oroicction
with ft sense of great relief, The he?dlong
struggle of the South to capture full
control creates suspicion. If that people
did not with such haste, and suoh denunciation
of the defenders of the life of the
nation, and such a tierce assault as if for
the mere booty of power, and such threats
to undo the enactments of eighteen yeurs,
scale the breastworks of the ballot box at
a right-shoulder-shift, and by capture, not
election, seek to wrest the power from
tbosc who reel conscious of trying to do
their duty by the country for wheep defonoc
some have even gladly died, but were
content to wait and take part control, dl?
vide responsibility and be a wholesome
check upon each other, and by generous,
modest, respectful treatment, mutually
grow into each other's confidence and esthein,
the wounds would quickly heal, and
heal for good ; and if no frrcing was attempted,
no unfair advantage taken, no attempts
made to pyen ipctu' fhe penspre of
an appearance to defeat the constitutional
Drovisions. this would soon come.
In the light of eighteen years, may we
not claim to be as loyal, as sincerely friendly
to the best interests of the government,
as trustworthy, as impartial and unselfish
in endeavors to promote the ivptfarg of the
Union, as you ? And whero wo differ,
widely and determinedly, should we both
not wait? Let matters remain as they are,
until in (he most fair, unexceptional and
constitutional manner changes can be effected.
Is an attempt to starve government
(he part of poaee ? Is that asking to
be "lot alone7" Is that &iiife-epki?}dling
attempt in the interest of "quiot" or ''order?"
'Tis we that pray for peace, quiet,
order. We would not let you alone in
madness of rebellion, in weakness or famine,
or in the dismay of pestilence, and
we do not want you now, in this morning
i of the sqpond century of the natiou, to be
deooiveii into the ch^'Sj? of li;ai. fyiefgl is
fa!uin of ''States Rights," or any otner
national evil.
Sections ought to divide us no more.
There should be no solid South. The Republican
party is and nlwaysJias been the
friend of dlytf'Pvved, the poor, the
wronged and the weak; ana th'o Sauth,
| needing iuternal improvements, onergy,
protection, the generous impulses of the
best vigor ot the age, should be Republican.
The young men should joiu hands

loving its unity, devoted to its durability J
and prnying for its jrtigress and peace, we ,
soon would feel tiic impetus of such principles.
Confidence would come, help, enter
prize, success, all hand in hand. You were
wrong. You fought for empire : we fought
for you and your country. Into the impersonated
cause of treason nud wrong you J
cast your lot, and in the unsparing judgement
of history you must expect with it to
bo severely condemned, ueiwcen us mere
is no malice, but respect and friendship.
But the deeds of dark rebellion, the crimes
of wnr, the cruel cut nape, the homc-desolatinp
strife, and the underlying principles 1
which produced it?"States Bights," prims!
allegiance to State, Democracy, blood
dripping, damned Democracy, I HATE.
I hate with nn eternal hatred. The u'ni- ^
ted, forgiven and chastised people of America,
one-third dead, one-third loyal and
one-third amnestied out from under the ,
curse of Treason, should unite and iinrno- j
late, annihilate, destroy and make obsolete
forever the horrible name of Democratic
Party. Let her, impersonated as the hid- |
eous monster, die, nnd in her death expiate |
the crimes of all. Then, t nder the folds
of the old flag, with the noble contentions
only of who best can serve, we will have
no cause of strife.
You say you sacrificed nil. Yes, you
sacrificed much for rebellion, I admit. But
what have you sacrificed for country?
Are you willing now to leave that, country,
for the destruction of which you sacrificed
so much, for a probationary period, at
least, in the safe keeping of those who
sacrificed much for her defence, and patiently
wait to prove your loyalty to her. And
yet you turn nnd hiss upon us the charge
of a pyramid of crime," being "outside
UIU tUilCillUUUU II "I- "VIV VMM " v
went to bunt you, and bore you back in
amnesty's nruis to thus reproach us. We
did nothing but for her?
* * '"phe beautiful, the sacred,
Which in all climes men tkut have hearts
adore
By the great title of their mother country."
You wrest me for your purpose, and garble
that. "Crime, when it cowers in secret,"
and masks ifselfjikc Ku-Klux, under
the specious cry of "'law and constitution,"
is what we fear. And that is what
I said.
But enough. Iam ready to correct errors,
and would haste to withdraw a wrong.
And in discussions of public questions 1
have no personal reference. 1 am ready to
unite in measures for the interests of your
people.
Very rcs'pectfully,
