He is striking at tin- ri'ht place: 1 Imw he will continue; hi coiimin-itk-atioiis on that sulject milil the people; tlin.MighiHtt the count ry wake up to a lis cluirge of their duty. I liave Ih-c" a .'onsr vative I'nion man during the war, ami am one yet. I agree fully with Lee." that it woitiil he right for the Conservative party to apply and practice the same rulo towards the Kadicals that they have made and p:.S-cl iu their organizations, and printed in i ard, to aj-ply and be practiced by the ILttlicals to wanls the Conservatives It Ls as -Lce'" says. That party don't allow even a shawl pin to be bought of a Conservative. If we applv and practice the same rule to the. l!ad al party that lln'v apply to ours, they can not complain. They lixed the rule them selves, and I think the Conservatives have tlie ln-st of reasons for applying the rule. We know the Uadical tarty to lie the most de praved, corrupt and thieving garty that ever existed on the face of God's earth. That party has committed more robbery, and crime of every description, than was ever know n to tlie human race. It makes h U it scll llu-h to own they are sons of the devil. Messr. Kiutoks, I have been for a long time anxious to ask the Southern sympathi zer, tlie rebel, and tlie bushwhacker, why it is that they trade with, or in any way pat ronize, the corrupt Radicals in and out of the city of Lexington. In God's name, have not the Kadical done enough to you and you, friends, to make you withdraw your custom from tliese totally depraved being ? Look, if you please, fellow countrymen, at their acts toward you during the war. You know the Radicals in Lexington, and through tlie country, were continually pointing you out to the Federal commanders, and their soldiers, and having you insulted on the streets and highways liaving you arrested and locked np in prison for merely expres sing your opinion, or to gratify their private malice, or for tlie purpose of stealing your properity. They have done everything in tlieir power to have you and your proK'rty taken and destroyed. It was the Radicals that had your private citizens shot down like dogs. It was the Radii-als that had you Suit hern people assessed and taxed, under the villain and house-burner Ben. Loan's order. That infamous order met the entire wishes and approbation of tlie Radicals in and out of Lexington. Tlie Radicals urged the carrying out of said order to the very letter, while the Conservative Union men op posed the order, and begged them and that villain. Ben. Loan, to desist. But the Rad icals declared it niut and should be carried out; that tliey were in favor of driving out of the country every Southern man, woman and child, or exterminating the breed,'" as the Radicals called it. The Radicals declared themselves in favor of the infamous and disgraceful order of Gen . Ewing, driving the people out of Jackson county, and wanted the disgraceful order ap plied to Lafayettecounty. The Radicals hail a committee appointed to assess Southern people, and did make the assessment, as you all know and frit. The Radicals had your stock driven into Lexington, put up and sold to pay said assessments, and I ask you. fel low country men, how did the Radicals car ry out that infamous, villainous order of Ben Loan ? They put your stock up and sold it for nothing. It was k nocked off to men said to he from Illinois. Your mules, worth Sl.'iO. sold and bought by Radicals, for $16; your cows and calves for $1 30, and all kinds of your stock sold in the same ratio. This thieving Radical sale continued for days. Your stock fell into the hands of the Radi cals, and was driven off and sold by Uk-ih at full prices, yon receiving credit on your as sessment for the amount of first sales. This was done to rob and destroy you. and to put what you had in the pockets of Radical thieves. At this stage of tlieir robbing you, the Radicals had commenced picking out your houses and lots, and your farms in tlie country said and expected, the next trip. the villain and house-burner, Ben Loan, would make the order to take your homes. But just at this stage of their robbery. Gov. Gamble's order came, stopping the sale and netting aside the order of the villain and hous--burnert Ben Loan. The Radicals kicked high, denounced Gov. Gamble as a traitor, aak he was Using his power in Jhvor of rebels. I ask you. Southern people, one and all, what would have become of you if it had not been for the Conservative Governor Gamble Aft you had would have fallen into the hands f these totally depraved Rad ical robbers. Enough of their dark and dis graceful acta to fill volumes, could be shown and proven. have only called the above acts to your minds, and ask you to look at It calmly. You know it b true. I ask yaw, my Ctiiiamattve friends; I ask yea. South ern peoole. have not this dark and disgrace ful Radical party done enough to you and your friends to cause you to withdraw your patronage from them, and not even buy a paperof pins of one of them. They are your black and deadly enemies. Tliey are enga ged in trying to take away forever your reli- ti ii Hint ' i i ohius and political lilicrties. I ap-ical to my fellow countrymen to draw a line, and let your power and influence lie felt in all time to come. You are not surrounded with Fed eral bayonets, to make you adopt a course of pollev to keep in favor with radical live nas by inlying your supplies of them.

My fellow citizens of Lafayette county, it would take volumes to contain the reasons w hy yon should not deal, or even associate, with nwlical hyenas. It does seem to me tliat their acts towards von for the past four years ought to be sufficient for yon. without calling your attention to tln-se disgraceful acts, for the purpose of getting you to do just what your good sense and judgment ought to dictate to yon not to do that is, not to ileal or have anything to do with rad ical hyenas. I have "been mortified to see eonservative union men deal w ith these rad icaMiyenas. and perfectly surprised when I see Southern men. and especially Southern ladies, dealing w ith them, when they can do just as well or better with their friends.

I lielieve there is great suffering in all the Southern States, but I do not know in which it exists to the great est degree. As a general thing, tliere is more distress in the cities than in the coun try, as food and shelter are more readily ob tained in the latter than in the former.' and there is also more sickness in the cities. I see it stated in the papers that tliere is great want of food in some parts of tieorgia and Alaliama. but I do not know where it exists to the greatest extent. As I presume the 'Missouri Southern Re lief Association" will take measures to se cure the proja-r distribution of their charity, it might lie well for the ladies of Lafayette county to unite w ith the Society in its eiforts to furnish relief to the South.
