THE SPEAKING.
According to previous appointment
Col. Logan II. Roots made his appear
ance hero last Thursday morning, ac
companied by some half a dozen other
Radicals, to address the people of Des
Are. About noon a crowd of sonic
forty or fifty persons assembled in an
unfinished building and the speaking
commenced. He offered to divide time
and Mr. Gair accepted the offer. Col.
Roots spoke for one hour, and managed
to say less in that time than any speaker
we remember ever having heard before.
„ r. Jlnnw
" *• ~ - --- -- -—r
pointed in his effort, for having read
some of the public documents lie has
furnished here and lo other places in
such abundance, wc could but allow
that he might make a little speech.
Hut then lie is a “bold and vigorous
canvasser,” for we heard him boldly
declare that he intended to risk his life
in the mountains of Arkansas proclaim
ing his merits and the glorious message
of "Lot us have peace.” Mr. Gair fol
lowed in reply, consuming the same
lime, and meeting what little was ad
vanced by his opponent; and also an
nouncing the principles and defending
the platform of the Democratic party.
Oar pet scalawag next look the stand
and indulged in such abuse and mis
representation of the Democratic party
as one of his calibre was capable, as
serting among other tilings of like
character, that a man six months ago
could not say what lie was then say
ing bjit at the risk of his life. The ar
rangements for lyis receiving a little
applause along through his speech was
a little better understood than when he
spoke at Devall’s Hltiff, where a negro
was posted upon the stand to start the
shout whenever lie was kicked, but lie
not knowing anything of the prepara
tion failed to give the expected sign.
Here 011c frequently attempted to give
him applause, but none of the rest
caught it up. Poor fellows 1 go home
and follow something that suits your
tastes and abilities better; and you,
Hoots, if any mountain Ku Klux threat
ens to blow your brains out, just laugli
in bis face and ride on.
ftSf-The most unfortunate and objec
tionable feature connected with the
politic war that is now being, fought
between the parties contending for gov
ernment, is the disposition to excite the
people in opposition, by appealing to
their passions in speeches of the most
incendiary character. That this is true
of the Hadical party, no man of half
ordinary intelligence will pretend to
deny. The sole aim of this party, it
seems is to convince the most ignorant
class of citizens that the Democratic
party is a war party; and the negroes
that the policy of the Democratic party
is to return them to slavery. In order
to prove In tlieir miserable way these
assertions, they do not hesitate to mis
represent, to garble extracts from Gen.
Glair’s letter to Col. Hroadhead, and
from the speeches of prominent Demo
crats since the nomination of our
ticket. While tlieir press and public
speakers arc by these extracts and mis
representations, attempting to impress
upon the minds of the people—that
class at least who are in their ignorance
incapable of thinking and reasoning
for themselves—that the election of
Seymour and Glair will involve the
country in war—they do not believe it.
None amongst them are so radical as
to believe for a moment, that there is
the least danger of war in tiiis country
from the election of the Democratic
i’resideutiul ticket. Their only object
in thought, and in fact, is to array the
timid in their favor and give color and
seeming to Gen. Grant's otherwise
meaningless phrase, “Let us have
peace.” It is a demagoguic trick,
fraught with danger and eminently in
cendiary in its character. The possi
bility of a war lias never been hinted,
except by radical politicians aud
through the radical press ; and we now
say what we honestly believe, that if
by their evil teachings the country—
\ or even a part of the country—is in
volved in war, the consequences will
. fall upon their own lioads ; and they as
the prime movers most pay the penalty
of their own sin ; where wo ask these
incendiary teachers, is the necessity of
thundering war from every stump
when there is in the premises no war
rant for it ? What is the object of en
deavoring to whodlo the black man
into the belief that the Democratic
party design disregarding the national
and state constitutions—to again en
slave him ? We repeat that these radi
cal politicians do not believe tlieir own
arguments, and only use them in the
vain hope of stepping into power there
upon. In nil seriousness we think we
have hail enough of this ; if your party
gentlemen mean to convey any idea by
your oft quoted “Let us have peace,”
come out through your press and upon
the stump with argument, fair, honest
argument. Make the canvass upon the
merits of your party, and not by ap
pealing to the passions of men ; and if
thus doing you heat us, wo will accept
in good faith the issue and help all we
can to bring about prosperity and good
feeling amongst all men.
bo to the Southern Hotel, Mem
phis, Tf.nn.—This popular Hotel is
very centrally located, being two
squares from the steamboat landing.
The proprietors being old citiziyis
claim a large share of the travelling
public, particularly the planters and
merrliants of Arkansas and Mississip
pi, steamboat and railroad officers.
The charges have been reduced from
S3 00 to $2 00 per day. Families at
reduced rates. Free passage to guests
for the hotel from steamboats and
railroad depots by omnibus, street
railroad ears and hotel carriages. Ho
tel porters on arrival of boats and
trains will exchange cheeks for bag
gage. Don’t forget the Southern Hotel.
CoTyoN Planters—Should prepare
for gathering the crop, and we oiler a
little advice on that subiect, which may
prove beneficial. The season for chills
and fever is now upon you at a time
when you need all the assistance you
can get. If you will send and procure
a few bottles Dromgoole & Co.’s King
of Chills, it will save you much time
and money. It arouses the torpid
liver, cleans the stomach, opens the
bowels, and never fails to immediately
break up all forms of chills and fever,
without affecting the head. It makes
permanent cures. Sec advertisement.

Jd^The first new bale of cotton of
the season was brought in by Mr. Jno.
It. Reed on last Friday morning, and
sold to Messrs. Stewart, Gwvnnc & Co.
for 27 cents per pound. This is a pretty
fair price for cotton, and we would be
glad to see our planters bringing it to
market as fast as they get it put up.
It was shipped on board the steamer
Dos Arc that evening.
Thanks.—To Mr. Morrow our coun
ty Nurseryman, for a basket, of the
finest apples it has ever been our plea
sure to examine and eat. Mr. M. has
at his Nursery every variety of fruit
suitable to this climate, and those in
need of such, would consult their own
interest by examining his stock.

for sale will interest you.

A Radical oh Radicalism.
In a letter from Washington to his
son, published in the Ilomcr (La.)
Iliad of the 22, Hon. W. Jasper Black
hurn makds the following admission of
the corruption of his Radical oolabor
cra:
“O, God! the corruption and degene
racy of the present political epoch!
And I might bring in morality and
religion and common honesty, with the
term “political.” It is all corruption
all baseness! And I tell you. from pre
sent indications, it is a'pity that any
honest man—any true patriot—ever
should have died to either establish or
maintain this Government! The selfish
ness, the thiovishness, the corruption,
the hotlowliearted rottenness, and the
piebald and brazen ignorance, all com
bined or one item singly, is sufficient
to make one feel like indulging somo
of the “Lamentations of Jeremiah,” and
“weep a deluge for the human race!”

milESTAU SHUTTLE SEWING MACHINE
I for durability, simplicity and beauty,
stands without a rival. The stitch is alike
on both sides of the fabric sewed, and will
not rip or ravel. The following facts hav
ing been demonstrated, are given as reasons
why the STAR MACIPNE should be prefer
red to any other:
1. Their great simplicity.
2. It is impossible for them to get out ol
adjustment daring proper usage.
8. They are of great capacity, and will
stitch, hem, fell, braid, bind, cord and gather
without basting.
4. They have an adjustable press or foot
to hold the work- and they sew eijually well
i:.n.,,t i..r.Ti.
6. They will sew over the heaviest seams
without changing tho tension or breaking the
finest thread.
6. They use a straight needle—curved ones
are liable to break.
7. The needle has a perpendicular motion.
This is absolutely necessary for heavy work.
8. They run easily, and are almost noise
less.
THE STAR SHUTTLE is emphatically a
first-class Machine in every respect, and,
what is most of all, it is offered at a lower
price than any other good machine in the
market. Further particulars furnished oa
