What Mr. otevens calls “apathy,” and what'cominon sense calls reaction and a return to reason, is now the pro minent political feature at the North.

Graft : It is not my pivpose to criticise, or make a formal r-ply to Gen, Pope's letter.

The reaction in this State is still more marked, when wo remember that only two years before the Radical ticket was successful by more than 11,000 majority. We have, as yet, only imperfect re turns from elections this week in Ver mont and California. -Both are Radical States. The vote in Vermont in 1866 Democratic, 11,292; Radical, 34,117. Which gives a Radical majority of 22,825. The claimed Radical majority now is “about 18,000,” or an admitted loss of “about” 5,000 votes in one year. From California, however, we have the glorious news that the Democrats have elected the Governor and State candidates, two out of the three Con gressmen, and a majority oi members of the Legislature—securing, it will be seen, the election of a Democrat to the United States Senate. Whatever-“ex - oi planations” defeated Radicalism may offer, the fact cannot be argued away that this great Democratic victory is clue to the irresistable popular reac tion. These elections and this reaction will be manifest in the returns in Pennsylvania and Ohio, especially in Ohio, where negro suffrage, which the State lias heretofore rejected, is made prominent issue thi- fall. In this : connection, It is weil to call attention ! to the tabic presented by the Personal I Representation Society to the Albany | Constitutional Conventon, showing that | in the elections last year in twenty- three-Stales, the total Radical vote was 2,061,871, against a total of 1,644,308 Democratic votes. The total Radical majority is therefore 417,503, and a change of 208,787 votes, or only six cent., would turn the balance per jd to District head- against thejRadicals in every State. id transmitted.’ al General of the ih the execution T ~SR7 POOR COPY ;t Court. hern District >hn Erskine yesterday » new and $ its in ex- L on Broad >, to the- * ,e District'. :ot organiz- The following is the table ; n opinion , of Missis- Arks, which for negroes • emancipa- ecision was ' The issue Osusi'jfci able d of, and a The foiiow- led tc; prac- I.

American freedom, protected by governments or ganized under and secured from excess by written Constitutions, is the grand slake. Save it, and yours will rise— the very Tenerifte of Lumen reputa tions. Let it be lost, or let others save it without your help, or in :piie of your opposition, and no mortal ever fell to lower deep from higher place, only be cause so blind to chance- or unequal to duty. Now, then, to this enc I ask you to pardon me if 1 beg you. first of all, to fuliy comprehend the one idea in American politics, without which every other idea can only confuse and mis lead; that the- written Constitution, and that which is authorized thereby, is the only legitimate American will, and therefore the only supreme American law. Violate, disregard, lose sight of, or refuse to see this one truth, and no wisdom nor learning can enlighten, nor position, nor power, nor armies save. - 'Then, anarchy as the ordeal, aud despotism as ti e goal, is inevitably American destiny. In the next place let me remind you that, in times of public peril, frankness however discouraging, is the highest possible crime. If you havo the great ness of soul required to appreciate this truth, my letters will not be unheeded, though tie writer be represented from official headquarters as “turbulent and disloyal.” Keeniryr on this standpoint of the Constitution and guided by this spirit of frankness, I propose, in three sepa rate notes, to lay before you the real facts touching three separate but im portant propositions : 1. Who they are, of the Southern white race race, who • will accept the Military bills, as a plan oi reconstruc tion, and what are the reasons and no tions which control and actuate in such accept«mce. 2. Who they are, of the Southern white race, who reject said bills as a plan of reconstruction, and what are the reasons and motives which control and actuate them in such rejection. 3. What plan will cordially unite all the Southern people; secure permanent union; avoid future wars; restore and increase -national prosperity; perpetu ate constitutional government, most effectually protect the African race in their rights." And, finally, what the government and the people of the Ntjrth must, do as iadispensible to peace if they persist in forcing upon the Southern States the plan of roconstruc- proposed in the military bills. *4 on these three points f intend will, and 1, i on •„= ; H-q .vior They are* i'fc f y r .. complete ly turned poor lad. Pope - u and put his face where lbs back - tight to be, and caused him to put his coat on with the collar down. They have uiadt-.. Gen. Pope recommend, by name. tbre4 men for banishment, because thev op pose the military bills, when these very counsellors and loyal Radicals desired to banish, or mob in 1S60, because they opposed secession. Alas ! how '-veil I know them, and how well they know poor Gen. Pope ! Some of these aban doned the Confederacy very soon - -as soon as they failed to get office or con tracts—and now call themselves original Union men, and a few of them have ac tually taken the test oath. Others held on to secession as long as il was safe and profitable Of course, now, to aveid confiscation and disfranchise ment, they are for leconstruction, and swear at every corner “the Radicals can do as ’ they piease—the Constitution is dead aud the President is nobody.” Under this head it pains me to have to include some really original Union men, who, failing to be recognized bv the people as the only fit persons to have office after the surrender, became soured, and, with a desperate petulance abandoned the conservative principles of ihqii' lives and rushed into" Radical ism. 3. Tmid men. We have amoBg us some good meaning men. They want peace. So, Heaven knows, do ail of us-i Peace! It is a sweet word! Some of our people so long for peace that they will run after anybody who cries peace, like hungry sheep after the man who shakes a bundle of fodder, never thinking, poor creatures, they are being led to a shearing house or a slaughter pen ! So, some are alarmed with the idea of confiscation and further dis franchisement. “ We must take the best we can get,” they say. “ It is no use to talk about the Constitution. The Radicals are too mean to regard that. They don’t care for their oaths. They don’t care for the Union, They don’t mind Johnson. They' say if we don’t take these Military bills they will put on us something worse,’and they are mean enough to do it, and the North ern people don’t seem to care. They’ll take our lands and every thing else. We had better go with them to keep them from ruining us.” Much are the arguments we hear every day in favor of the Military bills! I have heard of many reasons why different parties 3bould be supported ; but the Radical party can nionopolize this one, urged by Its own supporters. It disregards the Constitution; tram ples on oaths ; robs the people ; and will do worse things if it is kept in power! 4. Policy men.—These are of various kinds. Some say it is policy to give suffrage to the negroes because the Southern whites can control their votes and disappoint the Radicals. Some say we can scon to go with the Radicals un til we get in the Union and then wc can do as we please. Others say bv accept ing the Military bills we can got control of the Convention with the right kind of men, and form a Constitution to suit us, or, if we must form one to suit the Rad icals, wc can afterward change it again. All these policy men feel insulted if you call them Radicals. They excited ly swear that they are not Radicals; they are only going to trick the Radi cals. They are going to beat the Radi cals at their own game of deception. They also insist that the Constitution “ is a ghost ”—the Government is gone —that the Radical party is the only ex isting government, and we can do more to destroy it by feeding it than by fight ing it. They frequently whisper, in confidence: “These military men, from Grant down, _ u _ know nothing about law or the ComliUition. r.4 ! As for Pope, every body knows lie is a tool, and it is no trouble at ail to man age him. A.nd as for the Radical party, they care nothing for the negro. All disabilities cover cm iofK \ OU 9 nd let us fix our 30.' i —the candid rc- • aud all despise I Ho-- ong can a government las: which ;s established over a people who univer sally feai that it is oppressive, know it 'is illegal, and accept it only as a hard, temporary policy ? How much good will can it breed, and how much devo- tipn can it inspire ? Can such a recun- sRuction furnish -aguaranteo of future Lwon ahcl peaoc? Will it rcstorecon- fidetoee, inr- latppiness, or prosperity? Will it pay the /national debt, or pre- servet-the national honor, or build again the wants places ? You may, withRlie help of the deceived negro, force this plan. But force alone can do the work, for it meets no man’s approval. If force alone can establish this plan of reconstruction, how long will it Hast when that force shall be withdrawn? If force alone gives it origin, must not force alone secure its continuance ? And does this not'make military des potism permanent ? Is force tho “great principle of the government,” of which Gen. Pope speaks ? Is this the problem by which to “ perpetuate re construction in the spirit on which can alone assure free government?” Oh, what a destructive absurdity is this irom the mouth of a ruier in a land of written constitutions. I think, as Gen. Pope says, that three- fourths of the negro vote will be “for the Convention,” and to carry out the Military bills. They do not know what the Constitution is, or what they are voting for. But they are taught, by emissaries and low office-seekers, that tho Radicals are their only friends, aud they must give such votes to keep their friends in power. They are also taught that every white man who votes against a Convention is their ene my. The negroes alone in the South approve these Military bills, and they approve from false teachings and in a spirit of hatred to the white race. Is any man, North or South, so stupid as not to see to what this will lead? Can even force prevent a war of races under such a government? Will the North ern people press this fate upon us ?— Will they longer sustain a party which tramples thus upon every principle of freedom, every sentiment of right,and every guarantee of peace to perpetuate its own criminal existence. Will you, General, be the leader of that party? Will you be the nourishing breeder of hatred between the races, the willing instrument of oppression upon a people who laid down their arms to you on your assurance of protection so long as they obeyed “the laws of tho State in which they lived.” Will you bo the grand executioner of liberty for the continent? For I tell yo_ no nation which forces despotism upon ton mil lions ot people can itself remain free.-— Despotism for none, is as just as truth, and as inevitable as destiny. In the Constitution is liberty for all and for ever. Out of the Constitution is bloody anarchy and final despotism without hope. You won no victory in the war if you lose the Constitution now. Amor- cans, from ocean to ocean, and from the icebergs to the orange groves, will remember, with sorrow and weeping, the scenes at Appomattox Court House, if you forget the Constitution now.— You led no armies for the Union if you enforce these Military bills for the Ra dicals. The Constitution or the Radi cal party must perish. Fame invites you to live with the first, and infamy woos you to lead tho last.

Bangoh, Sept. 10.—The result of tho election in Maine yesterday has aston ished both parties. The immense Re publican majority of last year, which was 28,000, has been nearly if not en tirely overcome, and it will take soma days certainly to determine whether, the radical candidate for Governor ia elected. The counties of Y-ork, Knox, Lincoln, Washington and Aroostook have certainly been gained by tho Democrates, and others are in doubt. Cholera at New York. New York, Sept. 11.—The Commercial understands that several fatal cholera cases among the troops on Governor’s Island have occurred. The disease prevails alarmingly on the Island.-— Communication with the city has been interdicted. Fatal case reported on West 36th Street. The Victory in Maine. Washington, Sept. 11.—The heavy radical loss in Maine creates intense excitement. The lower house, which last session had but 13 Democrats, is now claimed by that party. The great central States of New York, Pennsyl vania and Ohio are claimed as certain, nud the defeat of negro suffrage in Ohio seems conceded.

If the Radicalshavjs carried Vermont by a majority of only eighteen thou sand, their power is failing in even that decidedly Radical State.

These are they : 1. Office holders.—The most active of these are Federal office-holders, and the most active again, of these, are those who came or went from the Northern States.

The civil officers of the States may ba de scribed as quiescent rather than acquies cent. A few accept what they are or dered not to reject. 2. Adventurers—By these I moan per sons who never act with consistency of principles, nor from any settled con victions of right, nor in any spirit of devotion to the public good. They are bred by all revolutions, and, in their turn, breed the chief horrors of all rev olutions. Thev gather on States in trouble like flies in the room of ilie sick. They are always on the strong side," General. They composed the un principled portion of the secession par ty. These are they who committed the frauds: deceived the people; stirred the passions of the masses; who wept into secratoocieties with an Indian name, ahcL^mdged themselves to force the §ta£e out if the people did not vote it out. *Tnese a-e they who led the peo ple into their present desperate condi tion, and who seek to plunge them in to still deeper misfortunes. I know these men well. They are among Gen. Pope’s counsellors. They accept me military bills. They are popular at Gefi. Pope’s headquarter^.

The devil niu3t be fought with truth and the Radicals with the" Constitution! Then victory, sooner or later, will be sure, permanent and glorious. “Get thee behind me, Satan,” must be the language of every true pa triot to this modern political fiend, Rad icalism. Now, General, the catologue is com plete. Every white man in the South who accepts the Military bills belongs to one or other of the above classes. Gen. Pope thinks they will be largely in majority in Alabama, and will have some majority in Georgia. I do not think so. The two first classes are sta tionary and umnilaential. The two last were, at one time, seemingly very numerous and embraced many of our best citizens. They were desperate. But the number has greatly diminished, •lifV and raciiliv decreasing. Gen. Pope, is a decided negro suffrage advocate, though he favored conferring the right of franchise on the more in telligent of the freedtnen. He was willing even to adopt a property quali fication, so that there could be a clear admission of the principle. The Presi dent, I understand, has taken the prop osition oi Gov. Parsons under consider ation.— Cor. Poston Post. Three Cheers for Maine. Portland, Me., Sept. 10.—Chamber lain was elected -•Governor by about 1,000.

Not one! I do not believe there is a single one who will, even for th^ffimoval of his disabilities, put him self on record as supporting or defend ing these bills as, were in his opinion, constitutional or righteous. We all know that very many of those who ac cept the bills openly declare them un constitutional, unjust and oppressive. Thirty Women Starring. Thirty women, in Montgomery, Ala., with children, numbering ninety-six in the aggregate, published a card in the papers of that city, in which they declare that they are actually suffering for the absolute necessarieJ ef life, and can get no work with which to support themselves and their helpless children, They state that they have been receiv ing assistance from the United States Government and from Dr. Rose, but these sources have been closed. They appeal for help, and say :— “We know not what to do to avoid starvation ! The wailings of our chil dren for bread are horrible to hear.— Unless we obtain some assistance we must starve.”.
