His attempt. at this late day to pateh. up his Staunton speech, addressect to Virsinlans, by a post seript Intended for the Northern eye, adds to the evidence of his tergiversation and of is moral weakness, A] manly udherence to his Staunton speech would have been far more honorable than bis present humiliating and equivoenting denial of his reat sentt- ments.

Nota man on the Mourbon tivket, whieh flaunts its majority of 09,000, was legally elected, ‘The Greenbackers appear to have been tho principal viethus of thesa outrages, sinee the Republicans, knowing there would not ben tair count, did not aga rule attempt to vote, A letter from ILantsyille to the Ladlanapolls Stn, a Greenback organ, confirms what has already been stated Ii Republican papers as to the general frauds committed, but 1s of speeial interest as It concerns those com- iltted in a portion of the State not previous- ly heard from. Early in the morning, tho Bourbons, with a brass band at their head, and armed with sticks and pistols, paraded through the streets, and when the polls were opened took possession in athreatening man- ner and yoted ‘their men, compelling all others to stay away, During’ tho forenoon several colored ten who came upto yoto the Greenback tleket were assaulted and driven off with clubs, and plstola were drawn by the score. Prevlous to the election tha Republlenn and Greenback eandldates were threatened wlth ylolence if they continued In the fleld, and several of them, to save their lives, withdrew from the ennyass,—among them Judge Craig, Clreult Judge in Dallas County, who was renomlnated, and was not ouly threatened by anonymous letters, but was warned by the Selma Times, a Bourbon paper, that his candidacy” would cause trouble and be dingerous to hin, AGH.

Tho Intter charge, It will be observed, exactly corroborates that mmade by the Huntsville correspondent ef the Indianapolis Sun, given above. No wonder that Mr. Hewitt, In closing hts letter to Commissioner Ran, says: “1 respectfully subinit that if the manner in which the elec- tion has been carried on at Huntsville, ‘Tri- ana, and Whitesburg isa fair sninple of the balance of the State, the majority of 60,000 votes Is no longer a mystery, but may be truthfully called the monumental fraud of tho age.” That itisn fairsamplo has already been shown by unimpeachable statements from varlous svetions of Alabama, Worse than this, the frands narrated In these letters were small compared with some in other counttes, If there are left In the North any honest, un- suspecting souls who eltng to the old theory: thatan election represents the will of the ma- jority of the people, so furas the South bs concerned, they ought tobe wndecelved by thisthue, Itis the last desperate resort of tho South to get control of power and put into operation the revolutionary and Incendi- ary principles gninelated by Wade Hampton In his recent speech, but it will not win. ‘There fs every evidence that the loyal masses of the North, fired with honest indignation atthis audacious attack upon constitutional Uberty nnd self-government, are rallying now ns they rallied in 1860, ‘There Is 0 tidal wavo athand, gathering yolumo and forea, which will sweep the Bourbon bulldozers and bal- lot-box stutfers out of sight, in common ru ed THE ONLY DEMOCRATIO PRINCIPLE, The Boston Herald, commenting on the stupidity of the Democratte’ party concern: ing Hampton's speech, und on Tampton’s own equivogation In the same matter, says: Wo fave no doubt that ho spoke substantinily hs tirst reported, naking what Lee aud duekson would do, 4f they were allvo, in the present case, nnd saying that the principles for which thoy fought are now at stake.

Jt was not local self-government for which Leo and Jackson fought, and for which thoy abandoned the Natlonal army to. tuke up aris in rebellion. Lt was for some- thing wholly different, There ig a formal declaration of the only vital principle of the Democratic party,—tho only one known to {hose Democrats who are such from prin- elple,—and It fs precisely tho principle for which Lee and Jackson fought, for which fumpton took up arms, and whieh he appeals to the people of Virginia now to stistain, ag they did during tho four years of war. ‘Tho reader will fina It distinetly set forth in the first of the Kentucky resolutlons of Novem- her, 1798, ‘That resolution was as follows: ‘That the several States composing the United States of Ainerica are not notied on the principle of unlimited subinisston to theirGeneral Govern ment; but tht, by eompuet, indor the style and Nelo of a Constitution for the United States, aud of amendments thereto, thoy constituted a Gen ert Gar rent for speeing purposes, delegated to that Government coctain dednit.

THE WADE HAMPION SPEECH. The Democrats have given an importance. to Wade Hampton's Staunton speceh which ibwould not otherwise have find by their futile effort to suppress a portion of it, ‘The apeech would have drifted Into obseurity if It had been allowed to stand, because It is onty one ofa kind that fs very common at the South, But, when the orlginal report of tho speech was cfreniated nt tho North, the Jiemocratte managers felt that [ls renetlon- ary utterances, coming from so prominent nnd “conservative’ a Southerner, and de- liveredt with the avowed purpose of uniting the Democratie factlons of Virginia, by the strongest appeal ft would be posstble to make to them, would materially damage thelr cause among Unton- loving Democrats. . 16 was this ap- prehension tint prompted them to place a revised and amended copy In elreu- fatfon, from which the. more offensive pas- sages were omitted, ‘This put the editors of the Valley Virghitlan upon thelr mettie, and they determined to prove that thelr report Is correct, ‘hey havedone this by attidavits made by different persons, both Republicans and Deinocrats, who heard the speech. The substantial correctness of the first report ts best demonstrated, however, by tho corre- sponlence between that report and an inde- pendent report ‘made by the editor of the Vindleator, wweekly and Detnovratic Jour ual published at Staunton, ‘The two versions of the closing sentences are as follows: The Remubtican Report. |The Democratic Report.

These two reports were mute by two dif- ferent persons,—one a Republican and ones Detmoerat, ‘Pho purpose in both enses was to present an aceurate, and, as nearly as pos- sible, Ieral, reproduction of Senntor lumpton’s words, Neither .report,' 13 we understand the case, prtports to have been, made in shorthand, but both reports were nade by native Virginians, whose integrity and honor will probably not be impeached with impunity in thelr own section, Under these elrenmstances, we submit that the two versfons cotrespont as closely as they would bo likely to correspond without collusion. ‘Though the arrangement of the language is not precisely the same in both, the sentiment is ilentical. It may bo freely admitted that the Democratle report is more nearly correct than the other, and-then the point In the speech remains fn full force, That potntts that Wade Hampton Invoked the memories of the late War as the rallying- ery for uniting the Virginians tn the support. of the Democratic party, and held out a promise of the realization of the “prinel- ples’ for which Leg and Jackson fought in the eyent of a Democratic trhimph.
