REACTION.
The new* from the North 5* of the
mo*t enconragiug character. Every
where, in almo*t evrry State, radicnl
lun bear* the mark* of decay. Tu the
maje*ty of might the people have arisen
and by their voice declared that op
pressor. tyranny and radical nile,
shall cease. The conservati*# party
have triumphed ; they will continue to
triumph until the government is in the
band* of those that will administer it
with greater moderation and more
justice than ha* marked the mle of the
party now in power. Notwithstand
ing wo rejoice at the triumph of con
servative*, still wc do not regard these
triumph* as democratic. The princi
ples that rule the party now struggling
for ascendency, are uot the pure prin
ciples that filled the mind of «ho great
Calhoun. Nor is that party the same
that so long and wisely guided the old
ship of State through the long and
prosperous period of Democratic ad
ministration. Be this as it may, we
wclrome the coming change, while we
eauuot lean upon and trust the demo
cratic party of to-day with the same
faith that we reposed in the great par
ty that claimed to be lead by such men
as Jackson, Folk and a host of others.
TVe can look for good to come out of
any party that is arrayed against radi
calism. and do hope to be benefitted by
the defeat of the Republican party let
suecc'- fall upon whom it may.
THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.
The Republican party are terribly
exercised ulxmt the coming Prcsiden
*i-i -i. »*,' a.. TKn rnciiH ill OlllQ.
Pennsylvania and more recently Yew
York, lias thrown them into convul
sion*. and they tremble at the possi
bility of defeat. Every available man
is examined and his inspects of suc
cess dnly weighed. Radical prefer
ence. however, seems settling npnn
Gen. Grant. He is the only man that
can carry any votes outside of the
great party (?) and for this revolt.
Chase is forgotten. Butler discarded.
Wade thrown overboard and poor Col
fax cast aside after laboring so hard in
the good cause. Be this as it may.
with all Grants popularity, the princi
ples of the republican party is too great
a load tor the General, and we. tear his
back will break under the pressure be
fore he reaches the White House.
fing- ‘To these sentiments there was
evidently great distaste among tiie
hearers, they were answered by gro ins
and hisses, a simultaneous bawl and a
general shifting about.
Mr. Brooks continued by discussing
the usages of government, and said he
felt sure Convention would be called.
The Republican party made up of live,
working enterprising men men who
either on the battlefield or the political
M-e.na— held on with a bull-dog tenaci
ty tint was sure to win. Here, flit her
demonstrations of disorder and dis
approbation orcured, when Mr. Brooks
closed his speech by saying the citizens
ofHes Are have tvon the. unenviable
reputation of being ruled by prejudice
and rowdyism. In a public li.e ot
more than thirty years, extending iroin
the Allcghanie* to the wigwams ot the
Far West, he had never met with the
bad treatment of to-day.
I am sorry to say that many young
men .at Pcs Are joined in with the
rowdvGm. I deeply regret that thev
did not manifest a higher manhood
and less of prejudice.
Yen’ respectful!'’ vours,
F. E. Wriuht.
The above is an extract front a letter
concerning the speech of Chaplain
Brooks, so-called, at this place tome
time since. F. E. I\ right, who we
suppose, i» the c nnpuuna ui»n rr•»««»,
is certainly very modest in his report
of liis masters speech. IV e do not deny
that the speech was received with an
•occasional hiss and a groan, but wo do
denv that the old man—we don't know
what else to call hint—ever used the
language in closing which his reporter
attributes to him. Ilis speech was
made np of boasts and threats, amt his
concluding remarks w ere such as w ould
have insulted any audience, possessing
the least degree of intelligence. He
came to us without the least possible
intelligence being given, sought G>
force himself upon an audience assem
bled to hear the negro Gray, between
tcJvuai and tins tnaa Brooks their is uo
comparison. The people of Des Arc
have the reputation of being orderly
and well behaved, but whet: there
comes amongst us a man with no in
dorsement, no business, and so tar as
we know, no character, forcing upon
us views that nre odious in language
verj disrespectful, is it to be wondered
at that he should he hissed, and his re
marks disapprovingly received. Tin
••many young men of Dos Arc an
sufficiently established in reputation to
decline being taught the duties of man
hood by such a creature ns this hangei
on who culls himself Wright.
I^r-Tlie news from the North, is t<
the effect that the Democrats have
triumphed upon almost every fit d.
Radicalism is dying, and the groan* o
the old sinful party are pitiful indeed
to hear. One by one the places oi
power are taken from them, and step
by step Democracy climbs the ladder
of success. Ohio, Feiiaylvaola, New
York, have given great victories to
Democracy. New Jersey. Maryland
and Wisconsin have spoken against
Radicalism and the ears of that old
party have canght the distant sotmd ot
the thunders of defeat that shall burst
with nucb terror upon them iu nc*t
November election.

powerful sermon on the certainty o

of his texts, with argument that could

fully equal to the important trust re
posed in him. He informs ns thnt it
lifts been eighteen years since he was
first honored with thnt position, nml
since then he lias tilled the office nine
years. Speaking of St. Johns’ College,
he informs ns that early last Spring it
was evacuated by the Military and
turned over to the Trustees. Since
which time the bui dings have been re
paired. a President and two Professors
selected, and the College ngiin opened
for the reception of students, with
the intention of adding to the number
of teachers as the increase of student*
and the funds of the institution, miy
warrant. He says:
••In obedience with the charitable
design of the College, the frustees
have made provision for the admission
of five students from each of the dis
tricts of the Deputy Grand Misters
free of charge for tuition ; and uudei
the supposition that tin* proposer
amendment to the Constitution, in
creasing the number of districts t<
nine, Would he adopted, the provision
won! i put forty-five students oil tin
free list.’’
Thu College course complete tin
braces four years, and includes every
thing usually taught ill first-class Col
leges. The College is also designed at
a military nrademy, and a eompeten
instructor now lias charge of that pari
of the College discipline. Now. then
if the people of the State desire to sent
; their sons to College, they have an c*
I cellent opportunity of patronizing f
j home institution, and be no longer do
| pendent on northern academies o
j learning for an education.
A grand tournament took place a
