Buffalo, N. Y., October 22.-—In his speech to-dav, Governor Seymour said: ■ ‘Fellow-Citizens :—The first words uttered bv the Republican Convention in their reso lutions, congratulate the country upon the success of their scheme' of reconstruction, and the Inst words uttered by tbeir speakers and tbeir presses declare that reconstruction is a failure; that the South is still in a condi tion of rebellion; that its social disorders de mand the presence of great armies, and that the first duty of Congress when it meets -will he to turn reconstructed Georgia ox\t of the (|iupn. [Applause.] it the outset of this canvass the Republi can party asked to be continue^ in power upon the groqud that it bad governed the country for tb e (Wt years wisely and Kell, and they demand a popular approval of ihejr policy. After a full discussion of three months, touching the wisdom and the integ rity of the policy of the Government with re gard to reconstruction and finances, it is found that order has not been restored at the South; that the burdens of debt have not been lightened, or the evils of oppressive taxation have not been lifted off from the labor and industry of the country as they should have been. Driven from their first ground, and feeling that the people ol this cquniiy were tnlwilling to approve their acts, they now try to hold power by making the people believe, not that they have done well, lot that the Democratic party would do worse if foey succeed at this time, . »‘Tc prove this they aver that the success of the Democratic ticket will involve the coun try again in civil war. They feel that nothing chort of civil war would be worse. [Cheers.] They have declared that the Democrat nomi nees are ready to overthrow their legislation by force. To make the charge still more dramatic, I am to be sent to my final account by the hands of my political supporters, and that Gen. Blair then is to trample beneath his feet the reconstruction laws as ruthlessly as Gen. Jfeade stamps them out by his military btders, with the concurrence of this same Bepnblican party. “If I am to go to my last account, I trust I .-hall be judged by a kinder and more chari table tribunal than my Republican friends have proved to be, (laughter). If the Demo cratic ticket is elected, and Gen. Blair should teach the Presidential chair, how would the case stand? Re would be confronted by a Republican Senate, a House of Republicans, full of Generals of the army of tbe United States, flanked by the loyal leagues and by the grand army of the republic, under the foiamand of their own candidate for the Presidency, whom they declare to be first Captain of the age, and yet we are gravely told that standing alone shackled by Congres- gressional restraints, he can crush out all this power and plunge the country into civil war. If this be true, then General Blair is either the most vigorous man who has lived in the his tory of the world, or the Republican Sena tors, membera of^ Congress and commanders of armies are the most imbecile men who ever disgraced pnblic positions, (cheers.) “Now, I admit there is a fear in the minds of the Republican leaders, but it is not this ab- (Vd fear. If is the dread that the public mind, having been trained to its financial xud political policy, is reaching conclusions which will sweep them from political power ; therefore they seek to change their issues; therefore they have changed their front. In fhis eoujest w® are admonished it is a dan gerous thing to change front on the eve of battle. I propose in the course of this can vass, on occasions like this, to discuss -the policy oondupt of the men to‘power. To-night I must confine myself to a few points; elsewhere I shall speak of other "rongs and errors. . . .. "When the war endednearly four years ago, R left the Southern States disorganized and impoverished. The duty of restoring pM.ce and prosperity, to that section-anil putting » into a condition where it could add to the national prosperity and aid to' bear its bur- hens, fell upon the Republican party. The difficulties of the task was. increased hy the fact that its population was made tip of’ two distinct races, one of which had been held in slavery and was now suddenly called on, un- [ntored as they were, to act a new part in our ancial and political system. “I do not wish to underrate the difficulties should enter upon the task to a wise and thoughtful way. Armies alone cannot bring back the value oforder to a community; they only restrain violence. The healing measures of the statesman must work the enre. The two great objects to be kept to 'dev were to gjjve all classes that prosperity *bich tends to make men desire .peace— 111 the good order of society. t. Despair ever “Another Rreat object and end was to lift np fte African as far and as fast as could he wisely done. Humanity dictated this; the interests of the' white population of the South de manded it. As the two races were to live upon the same soil, their common - interests called for harmony of. purpose and of feeling. Under this state of tacts wise men would seek the aid of the most intelligent 'and in fluential men of that section of the country, taking care to guard against any influences springing from their prejudices. . Have these obvious truths been regarded hy the men in power ? Has not reconstruction tailed be cause they disregard them ? The first step towards restoring order and producing har mony between the races has always been to minister to the prosperity of that section, which prosperity would be shared alike by the white man and the negro. The industry of the South should be-more profitable. Unless the employer made a profit upon his cotton crop, he could not pay the laborer. Failing to do this, disaster brought not only pov erty, but confusion and discontent. True stateuianship would have stretched out a help ing hand. But what was the first act of the men in power? It was to put a monstrous export tax of six cents a pound upon the cot ton raised hy the labor of the negro upon the plantation of the white, struggling with the evils of poverty, with the difficulties of their new positions and relationships. The first feeble efforts of those people pie to gain the means of a livelihood, were blasted by an unwise, selfish, and vtodiotive act. I say unwise, because it has much to do with the failure of tfie Republicans to restore order at the South. The negro, exasperated by the fiiilure of his ruined employer, became hostile to him. The employer, losing the little credit that he had before to the North, re- newedhis efforts under still greater difficulties than beforo. I say it was a selfish act, because it was to the interest of the Eastern manufac turer, already wealthy from the profits of the war, protected by an enormous tariff of six cents a pophfl upon all cotton exported which was simply imposed so that he might buy it for a price six cents less than it was worth to the markets of the world. I say it was a vindictive act, for if you will read the debate to Congress when this tax' was le vied, to cover tbe selfish interests that prompted it, yoq wiU find that it was urged upon the members from the Western States, who voted against the interests of their con stituents, upon the ground that it waB to be imposed upon the South as a penalty. And thus, we find that the hlack and the white men of the South were alike stripped of the market value of their staple product under circumstances of such great difficulty that they were hindered and not helped on the road to prosperity by the men to power, [Applause, j I might go on and show how, ih addition to this wrong, they were trampled upon by military despotism, how they were placed under the unrestrained power of va grant men, who gained wealth and official position by ministering to the passions of the public and keeping alive disorder. These men are now in the Senate of tbe United States without constituents, and vote down the Senatorial representatives of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, and they gained their power over the South and over us because they ministered to the passions in the North, and stirred up disor der to the South. Who of the fair minded and thoughtful Republicans will calmly sit down and look over this action, and not feel that the policy’ of Ilia party has been unwise^ and hurtful?” President Johnson to Seymour. Washington, October 25.—The following letter is putiliqfied; Executive Mansion, ) Washington, October 22, 18G8. ) Hotl Horatio Seymour: I see it announced to the papers this morn ing that you will enter the Presidential can vass in person. I trust this may be true, as the present position of public affairs justifies and demands it It is hoped and believed by your friends that all enemies to constitu tional government, whutUer secret-or armed, will not be spared, and that their arbitrary and unjust usurpations, together with their wasteful profligacy and corrupt use of the people’s treasure will be signally exposed and rebuked. The masses of the people should be arosued and warned against the en croachments of despotic power, now ready to enter the citadel of liberty. I trust that you may speak with an inspired tongue, and that your voice may penetrate every-just and patriotic breast throughout the laud. Let the living principles of the violated Constitution be proclaimed and restored, that peace, pros perity and fraternal feeling may return to our divided and oppressed nation. Andrew Johnson.

Fearful Riot—Six Negroes and Three Whites Killed. New Orleans, October 25.—A fearful po litical riot occurred here last night. The origin of the disturbance is difficult to dis cover. A number of clubs, both negro and De mocratic, were parading the streets to various parts of the city. A number of negro chilis passed down St Charles and Canal streets; they were very noisy and disorderly. The Picayune states that the negro clubs abused aud insulted the white Democratic clubs marching to their rear, and that the first shot fired came from the colored club, wounding slightly a whiie man named Richardson. At all events, a general fight began on Canal street between Carondalet and Baronne, in which a number of shots were fired. The fight continued for three blocks, when the negroes fled. Two negroes were killed be tween Baronne and Dryads, on Canal street and one dangerously wounded; one was crushed to death under foot and another ne gro killed at the corner of Canal and Basin streets, and. one or two more.killed.farther out on Canal. About midnigat, a scattered firing was heard in all directions. No white men wero killed on Canal street, though sev eral were wounded, and taken home by their friends. One white man was killed while standing quietly near the’ club room, on the corner of Camp and Caqqt afreets. Another white man was killed and horribly butchered with an axe or hatchet, on Meepomone streot, by negroes. One white man was accidentally killed by his own friends on St. Charles street Coroner Locke, of the first district held eight inqnests this morning on the bodies of three white and five black men. Another dead negro is reported to the second district, m a icing nine fatal casualties. The white men killed.were each of them over a iqile from the' first distqrbqucA Tfifl disturbance began about ten o'olook. At eleven o’clock Canal street was crowded with oxcited -white men, who dispersed quietly when a squadron of cavalry appeared on the scene. The stores on the comer of Baronne and Canal streets are marked by bullets «s if by a lire of skir mishers. / - . f~: v From W»*iiIngton. Washington, October 25.—Henry D.

GREAT SPEECH AT ROCHESTER.’ Tlie People’s Response to the Voice of their Leader. ii 1 The New York World of Thursday contains an account of Governor Seymour’s triumphal tour through Western New York, where, his entire route was one grand ovation, the peo ple flocking by thousands to see him at every station and village on the rflfcd. Everywhere the Democratic nominee for President was received with the most enthusiastic demon strations of personal and political devotion. His first formal speech was made at Rochester on Friday evening to an immense concourse of people who met him nt the depot in pro cession, with banners and music. The fol lowing is the WorltTs report of his address: Fellow-Citizens: I am astonished at this de monstration. I left my home to-day for the purpose of addressing a meeting at Buffalo to-morrow evening. I can, therefore, speak to you to-night but very briefly, but I shall be followed by those who more ably than my self can discuss the great issues of the cam paign. Nearly four years ago the war which ravaged our land ceased; nearly four years ago the affairs of this country were confined to the administration of the authorities. We found at the close of the great contest that a large section of our country had been disor ganized to its industry, its social structure, and its moral condition, as the result of that war. If we turned from the South—that por tion which had been overcome by the valor of our troops—and took into consideration the condition of the whole country, wo found it burdened by an enormons debt. We found that our carrying trade had been Bwept from the oceans of the world. We fonnd the busi ness of our country perplexed, by all the un certainties which overhung its future busi ness pursuits. (Cheers.) We meet now for the pnrposo of determining whether those who have administered the affairs of the United States during the past four yearn have governed it wisely and well. They come before the people of this country asking to be reinstated in power. They say that they have so- controlled its interests that they are entitled to the con fidence of the people. They claim their measures have been wise and judicious, and that thoy have tended to advance the inter ests and the welfare of the republic. In their Convention they congratulated the peo ple upon the success of their scheme of re construction. The question now presented to the voters of this country is simply this: Are you satisfied with the conduct of those who have conducted the affairs of this coun try? (Cries of “no, no,” and cheers.) Have they so administered your finances that your taxes have been lightened as they might have been? (Cries of u no, no,") Can the busi ness men of the country, who conduct its en terprise, aud who employ its oapital, say that they repose such confidence to the wisdom of those who now administer its affairs, that if they shall again be placed in power, they can go on in confidence iu their transactions? (Cries of “no, no,” and cheers.) The an swer of this great audience is, aud I believe the answer of the people of this country will be—No. The day was when the American people were proud, when they counted among the foremost nations of the earth as a people, largely engaged in the commerce of the world.- (Cheers.) . . We do not find that this great subject lias, during the past three years, attracted even the attention of thoso who administer the afiairs of our laud. Whichever Wfty wo look, what ever class we address, whatever individual in terests xyo consider, wo find that at this time the polioy of tho Government is such that labor is depressed, business is perplexed, arid the future is full of uncertainty. Now why has this administration fallen? Why have they come so far short of the fulfilment of their duties, that at the end of nearly four yeais of pence we find ourselves still embar rassed, hampered, and Opposed by that same condition of things which we found at the close of the late war. They claimed ip tfieir national convention that they had a right to congratulate the people of (his land, upon the success of tbeir reconstruction scheme. They claimed that our financial condition has im proved. They claimed that tho heavy burden of debt which rests upon this land was abont to be lightened. Thus far in the canvas these claims have been discussed. Their speakers, as well as those who spoke for the jfciUQcratic party, have beep fipuaged iu laying before you their views upon these subjects, and what is the result? So completely have our oppo nents' side been driven from the field upon theso points, that they now find that it is neces sary to change their front. We are admonished that n change of front on the eve of battle is a dangerous thing. (Laughter.) After their congratulations that their scheme of recon struction was a success, wluit do they now say when thej- aro pressed on the financial question, when they hear the complaint of the laborer nnder the loud taxation,, and of the business men nt the perplexities which surround them? They attempt to turn away the public mind from the consideration of these things. They attempt once mfU'C to fire the Northern heart against the ’people of the Southern States by saving' that the spirit of rebellion still exists to its full force. 'If that is true; if it is true that disorder yet prevails all over the South; if it is true that the spirit of rebellion yet lingers there; if it is frue that it is necessary to tpx tips people to order to maintojp grefit angles, what becomes of their boast and congratulation that their recon struction has been successful ? ‘ (Great cheer ing.) They find-nopr that if jq necessity, to order to turn ttygy (ho publip attention from the pressure (hat 'is frrough( to bear upon: them by (he arguments upon the financial questions which have been advanced upon our side to revive once wore the issues of the past, to ](eep alive that spirit of sectional hate whieh would plunge the country again into bloody war. Driven from the field of argu ment upon all the points upon which they placed themselves at the outset of this can vass, they have now asumed a different posi tion and attempt to prevent the people of the country from putting new men into power by charging that such a change threatens the peace of the land, and that there is reason to fear if you elect a Democratic* President and Vice-President that we should again be drag ged into all the evils of civil warl Upon what is this charge founded ? Why, for the last six years the. charge- brought against our party and our candidates was that we wqpld never consent to any goyeripgentgl- notion which was not direqtSd by of in accordance with the Constitution. ' (Cheers.) For more than four years' T wigs charged with being a man’ untrue to my flag, which I honor and cherish-to my inmost heart. • (Cheers.) Why, because to my private life, in fissemblageB like ibig, and to (fie Executive chair of State, I demanded that the people should have their constitutional rights, and that the govern ment should proceed only according to con stitutional modes! (Tremendous ofieering.) It was for this reason, ftfid fn^tfiisalone, (hat these imputations yyeie firougfit ngatost me— (cheers)—and now these same, men coma be fore the publio and fry to alarm the people with the idea that if we succeed to this elec tion the peace of onr land would ire imperilled. Is " there' anything to the—history—of -the - Democratic- party during its long continu.ipp jn power,- was j^a copdupt (Wring tfie y wheat are stood by ndministra- (^opposed tons; is there any thing m.our actions and-teachings since the i ns open to this charge of be- .o n6t seek the meace.and f our country and the welfore - \ iflripR--of. “no. no.” and cl h-JibrioSiof ‘“no, no,” np.ftntfiW 1 at it is said that ifjive gef info shall with violence destroy all that they claim to have done rightfully, legally and constitution ally. Now, as I sold before, we seek not only constitutional ends, but we meari, whatever we do, to follow constitutional .modes of ac tion. (Cheers.) Who is’ it that makes the charge ? A General in one of our Southern States, acting nnder the advisement and in accord with the sentiments of the Republi- can party, and a' subordinate of its candidate for the Presidency, has' recently put forth, ah order to which he directs that nt the coming election the soldiers of' (he Sonth,' in the preservation of peace, need not be governed .by the technicalities of the law. Law has no technicalities. The proceedings of a Gonrt are sometimes technical, but for the first time in onr land wo hear the declaration that the language or requirements of the laws may be treated as technicalities to be set aside, not by your courts, but by military power. It was never before heard in this land, that any court had the' right or power to set aside the lan guage or directions of the statute on the ground that they were technical directions. The day was when the mere assumption of a military officer to sit to judgment upon the .laws would have aroused this whole people, but here the proposition goes further than that. Thoy are not only to decide what laws are, bnt they ore to take upon themselves to disregard the provisions of those laws, if they see fit to claim thnt they ore thus to he trampled upon ? You have heard it charged against me and against General Blair that if we could obtain power we would trample upon the reconstruction laws; and yet at the very moment they make these charges one of their own partisans, acting under their own influence, is trampling these very laws under foot by a direction that his subordi nates shall not feel theriiselves bound to their action, if they see fit, to regard any of the provisions of these laws are technical. (Cheers.) Let ns look a little further at this charge. I repel with indignation tho sug gestion that any member of tbe Demoratic party, or that party as an organization, or that myself as an individual of that party will ever do violence to law or order. (Cheers.) Let ns inquire into the reasonableness of this charge. Suppose the people of the United States see lit to elect a Democratic President—(voices, “They will,” cheers)— and a Democratic Vice President, what then? Is your Government changed ? Do we hold unqualified power? Could we make war? Could we control the legislation of the coun try? What will our powers be under the laws as thoy now stand ? You havo seen a Chief Executive of these United States shackled by legislation; you have seen him arraigned us a criminal before the court, you have heard the majority of that tribunal pro nounce him a guilty man, and he would have been deposed from power had they not lacked one vote to make two-thirds of the Senate to sanction that action. Those statute laws which to-day shackle and hinder the action of Andrew Johnson would equally shackle a Democratic Executive, if we succeed to this election.' Our Republican friends will con trol the Senate; they will control the House of Representatives; theywill control the army, for their candidate is the General who com mands that army. How absurd, then, is this cry that there is danger from an Executive thus shackled and powerless, even if he desired to do wrong. (Cheers.) It may be asked, then, what do we gain if we change the Executive and place one of a different party - in the Ex ecutive chair when his powers will be so limited? Just this, my friends: While he can affirmatively do bnt little, he can do much to check the unwise action of the party now in power. He can do rnnch to protect the labor of this country from unwise legisla tion. He can do much to check, in the future, the dangerous policy which threatens the dearest and most vital interests of this country. (Cheers.) But more than that, it is necessary for the welfare of (lie American people that- there shall b.e given a popular verdict, which will say that the policy of the men to power is not such as meets their ap proval. ' What wo hope and aim to do in this contest, is to stay tho progress of confnsion, usuqiatiou, and unwise legislation. The men in power have neither established a suc cessful system of reconstruction, nor done anything to lighten the burden which op pressed the people of the North. (Cheers.) My strength, my time, this vast audience, pre vents my attempting to address you at length or in any detail upon this groat subject. We ask you now that by your votes yoq shall put some check upon the unqualified power ex ercised by the Congressional party. If we do well ip tfie place you put us, aud our conduct, shall be suefi that we gain your confidence, then We shall ask you at another time and at another election to go on with the work of reform, and reinstate iu full power that great and glorious Democratic party, which is iden tified with all that is glorious in tlie history of our country. I have blit one word more to Ray, and tfien ( will give place to my friend Mr. Revnan. I implore evory man within tho sound of my voice, whatever his political views may, before he casts his ballot at this election to serionsly ask himself whether it is not better for this whole country that political power Bhall, in samu degree, be divided be tween political organizations. I ask those who to their heart seek the welfare of our land and the permanency of our institutions, if it is well and .safe for another four years, to give unrestrained, unchanged and unequalled power to those who have failed during the past four years to bring onr afiairs into a satisfactory condition ? We do not ask you to give us unrestricted power. Yon could not, if yap wo.uid. All you can do at this election is to place some one in tfie executive chair who can check the exoesses of the Congressional party, and to administer a rebuke to those who, giving way to passion and noting upon the policy of-hate and discord, have prolonuei] tfie difficulties of-oar country, fiqve continued its burdens of taxation, have oppressed its labor, and have made' its people uncertain as to its future, I trust that when this election shall have ter minated it shall be the tofiginent of the peo ple of the Uni(e(( Hfilfra (hat tfie intention of the fraotw 8 . of OUT Constitution shall be car ried out, tha( power shall in snob degree be divided he(ween (fie great political organi zations' so that (hey. can bold each other to efieek, and that it shall neither be in the power of the Bepnblican or of the Democrat ic party to plunge our country into the evils of civil war, even if they could find It to their hearts to do a thing so unwise, so wicked, and so unpatriotio. (Cheers.) I thank yon, my friends, for this great exhibition of your kind partiality to myself. From my heart I fhanlr yon at this time, when I have been the object of so much obloquy, for this demon stration of-kindness and consideration. It strengthens by arm and makes me feel a con fidence that he who with sincerity and hum ble zeal tries to servo his country and benefit his fellow-citizens, will ever meet with a Warm reception from those whose interests fie deep ly cherishes.

Fellow-Citizens: It is a privilege and duty to address you on the eve of the great. battle which we are to fight, and which is to decide whether the gov ernment of this republic is to remain four years more to the hands of the Radical party, or whether by an energetic, united and last effort yon will wrest the power from its grasp, and give to us, under a Democratic conserva tive administration, a government based upon principles of justice, economy and constitu tional liberty. The issues of the present campaign, are plain and self-evident They appeal to the intelligence and patriotism of every voter in the most unmistakable terms. They Rave been ably discussed fry distinguished orators and leaders of ourporty since the nomination of our candidates. What the Democratic party intends to do, if placed to power by your suffrages, is to re store peace and nninn to onr country; toheal the wounds and sufferings caused by. the re bellion; to give to the people of the South the rights to which they aro entitled under the Constitution, lind by which alone we can bring back prosperity and quiet to that dis tracted section; to reduce materially oar-mil itary and naval establishments, kept up now on an immense scale and at an enormous cost; to introduce iuto every department of Government the Strictest economy, and. to develop, by on equitable system of imposts and taxation, the growing resources of our country, and thus to place the Federal finances on a solid and stable footing, and to pave the way to a gradual and safe return to specie payments. We are charged by the Radical party, the party of violence and usurpation, which, for the last four years, to prolong its own exist ence, has set at nought the Constitution and fundamental principles of our Government, that we intend revolution and defiance of es tablished law. The accusation is unfounded and absurd; it cannot be entertained for a moment by any intelligent voter, who has even tho most superficial knowledge of the history of his country. The Democratic party can proudly point to every page of its record. It has never violated a single ob ligation of the fundamental compact by which these United States entered into the family of nations. Its watchword, in peace as in war, has been and will always be the Union* the Constitution, and the Laws. And no man, or any set of men, however high they might be placed by the suffrages of their fellow-citizenR, can ever expect to receive the support of this great Conservative party in any revolutionary attempt against. estab lished laws. The ballot-box and tho su preme will of tho American people nre the only means of redress to which they look. Fellow-Democrats! Yon are fighting for n good and righteous cause. You have for your leader a tried statesman; a patriot who stood by the Union in its darkest hour; a man equally beloved for the purity of his private j character as honored for his public virtues. Opposed to yon ore the men who have sub verted the structure of our system of repre sentative self-government vindicated to the world by more than half a century of pros perity and greatness; the men who have in-1 creased onr enormous debts by profligacy and corruption unparalleled;, the men who in two successive Congresses havo demonstrated their iucompetency to diminish our burdens by economy, or apportion them with eqnity;l the men wfio have so distributed our burdens; so as that they press with excessive weight upon the labor and industry of the country, making rich men richer by making poor men poorer. Opposed to yon are the men who have de nied lor three years of peace, and will con tinue to deny until your votes arrest them, self-government to the people of ten States; the men who have taken away the power of the Chief Magistrate to insnre a faithful exe cution of the law, or to command the army' and tho navy of the United States; the men: who did tlieir worst to expel the President from the White House for obeying faithfully the behests of your supreme law; the men who, being conscious of their crimes, dread ed (o have the Supreme Court declare their quality, and therefore abridged its jurisdic tion and silenced its voice; tho men who have usurped and are grasping and wielding pow ers not possessed to-day by any monarch among civilized nations. Against these men and all their despotic purposes, which Gen, Grant would be as pow erless to hinder as he whom they elected four years aqa has been; against these men, their crimes m the past, their fast accomplishing designs of the future, you are soon to make one final and determined onslaught. Four years ago we failed to expel them from (lower, though we predicted then, as wo now predict, their incompctcncy to give to the people peace; declaring then, as we now de clare, tho revolutionary- purposes of their most active leaders, who rule tbeir party as they would rule the country—with a despotic sway. But these fonr years have justified onr warning. Onr worst predictions then are their enactments now. What we feared, they have done. The revolution has made steady progress. Once moiewe call evoiy patriot to join our ranks. If the people will now rise in their majesty and might, they can save their institutions and rebuild them. If they aro supine and regardless of their sacred interests, so much in the last fonr years has been accomplished, and so much in the next four years may easily- he accomplished, no obstacle then re- lUainiug, that the revolution will become a fixed feet, the structure of our government will have been completely remodelled. It may be a government; still, it will no longer he your representative self-government. For this final straggle then, fellow Demo crats of the United States, let ns invigorate eyery muscle and nerve every heart. The time is short The foe is stubborn and des perate, for our victory would be the death blow to the Republican party. It conld have been held together by no outer nomination. It cannot survive your successful assault One victory is enough. Your triumph in No vember will finally re-establish the Union and the Constitution for another generation of men; it will restore peace and good order to the Sonth, prosperity to the North, and a wise and frugal rale to both. The great prize is worthy your most strenuous en deavor. Our ranks are unbroken;onr courage is un abated. Once more to the breach; and this time victory!

Department op the South, ) Atlanta, Georgia, October 8,1868. > General Orders,.No. 27. “Whebkam, By an act of Congress .of the United States, approved March 2d, 1865, it is made the duty of the military authority to preserve the peace at the polls at any election that may be held in any of the States; and wnereas, this dnty has become the moan imperative, irum the existing political excitement in the pub He mind, from the recent organization of civil government, and from the fact that Congress has, by statute, prohibited tho organization of military forces in the several States of this Department, it is there fore, ordered, “That tho several District Commanders will, as soon as practicable, on the receipt of this order, dis tribute the troops nnder their commands as fol lows: In the District of Georgia: One company 16th Infantry, to Albany. One company 16th Infantry, to Columbus. One company 16th Infantry, to Macon. One company 16th Infiuitry, to Augusta. One company 16th Infantry, to Washington, (WflksB county.; Oue company 16th Infantry, to Americas. One company 16th Infantry, to Thomasville. One company (C) 5th cavalry, to Athens. Tho company at Savannah to be reinforced, should occasion require, by such number of the men at Fart Pulaski as can De spared from the post. “Detachments, when necessary, maybe made to points in the vicinity of each post, bnt in no case, nor on any pretext whatever, will detachments be sent without a commissioned officer, who will be folly in structed by ms post commander. “ The troops will be considered as in the field, and supplied witn the necessary camp equipage ; the men to be furnished with common tents if practicable, and if not practicable, with shelter tents. Commanding officers are permitted to hire quarters, temporarily, when it can be done for reasonable rates; bnt this'will not preclude the necessity of carrying tents, as tha commands, in aU cases, most be in readiness to move at the shortest notice, with all snpj^es required for their efficiency. “District Commanders will instruct Post Common ders in their dirties, and the relative position of tha civil and military powers. They will impress on Post Commander* that they are to act in fid co-operation and in subordination to the civil author ities ; that they are to exercise discretion and Jndgr ment, unbiased by political or other prejudices ; that their object should be exclusively to preserve tho peace and npnold the law and order, and they must bo satisfied suen is the object of tbe civil officer calling on them for aid ; that they must in all cases where time will permit, apply fori instruction to superior au thority, but tney must at all hazards preserve tho peace, and not be restrained by technical points, when, in tbeir conscientious judgment nnder the rules abova set forth, it is their duty to act. Post Commanders on being notified of the propoeedLholding of political meetings, may send an officer, aud if necessary a de tachment, to watch the proceedings and see that tho peace is preserved. “ To the people of the several States composing tho Department, the Major General Commanding appeals that they will cooperate with im and tbe civil au thorities in sustaining law and order, in preserving the peace and in avoiding those scenes of riot and bloodshed, and the wanton destruction of property and life, which has already, in some instances, beea enacted in the Department. He urges abstinence from all innauunatory and incendiary appeals to the passions; discountenancing the keeping open of liquor shops on days of political meetings and of elec tion ; the'abscalnfng from carrying arms, and assert ing the individual right of construing laws by force of arms. No just cause 1* ever advanced by resort to violence. Let there be charity and forbearance among political opponents, whatever may be the result ; let each good citizen determine that aU who, under the law, have the right to the ballot shall exercise it un disturbed. If there are disputed points of law, let them be referred to the Courts, and let not moba or political cl uos. or other irresponsible bodies^ construe and undertake to execute the law. This appeal ia made in the earnest hope that the Major General Com manding can rely on tee good sense and correct lodg ment of the mass of the people, and that be will not be compelled to resort to the exercise of the power with which he is entrusted, and which he will most remctbmtly employ Bathe thinks-it his duty to make known, teat ao for aa tee power andsr his command will admit, he will not permit the peace to be broken, and that he will not be restrained, in the conscientious discharge of his duty by technicalities of laws made when the present anomalous condition of affairs were neither anticipated or provided for.” By Order or Major General Meade : . , B.
