The Hagerstown Mail speaks as follows concerning Washington county and vicin ity: “Nothing could be more propitious to the growing crop, now nearly matured, than the weather with which wc have been blessed within the past few days.

RUFUS B. BULLOCK, Elect of the State of Georgia. Augusta, Ga., June 25, 1868. Augusta, Savannah, Atlanta, Mtreon, Columbus, and Milledgeville papers will publish till day and send bills to National Republican- Office. THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. Tile difficulties of the Democracy in relation to the platform to be adopted by their Convention on the 4th instant, are quite as serious as their dilemma about ft candidate. They have to adopt a platform which will harmonize discordant elements among which harmony is impossible. If they declare against the payment of the national debt in the manner it was prom ised to lie paid, they alienate the Demo cratic creditors of the Government. The idea seems to prevail among their lenders that all the wealth is with the Republican party, and the poverty in theirs, therefore "that repudiation will always bo popular with their rank and file and will hurt nobody but Republicans; but they will find where they undertake to cheat the public creditor, that many of their own magnates arc interested in maintaining the credit of the Government, mid will repu diate the repudiators. Democratic bond holders tire not likely to contribute very liberally to the success of a party which seeks to destroy their wealth. So, on the plank of repudiation, inserted in their platform to suit the Western repudiator, they will alienate the Eastern capitalist. Again, jf they dpclnre themselves in favor of undoing all the work of recon struction for. the purpose of doing it over again according to their own notions, it is hard to believe that there will be, found mailmen enough to iSakc a decent show of numbers, even in their own j .pmXy l -'tflio will wish to renew aW-Tfie turmoil and confujgov. xIT the last few years. It is 'fiiffieult to believe that there exists any manor party’bo insane as to wish to go out of the Union again, for the sake of coming back in some other way. If they declare against negro suffrage, they will destroy the prospects of many of their adherents at the South, who hope to so manipulate the colored voter as to make him the instrument of their own return to power. Deeply as 'they pretend to grieve over giving of the right to vote to the negro—loudly as they abuse the Re publican party —it is pretty evident that the leaders are sanguine of their ability to convert negro suffrage to their own benefit, and in their hearts would not have the situation otherwise than it is. They only keep up their hypocritical pretenses for the purpose of deceiving their unreasona ble and short sighted followers. We are curious to see bow the New York Fourth of July Convention is going to manage to reconcile all the different interests, and reconcile their discordant factions, and shall look with great interest for the publication of their platform- Doubtless, it will be an interesting speci men of political carpentry. Heretofore they have had some old planks with which to pice? out their platforms and which have done duty in all such structures. But it is hard tn conceive that any of this old material can l»e made of use in the present juncture. They are worn out. It is of no use to denounce Aboli tionism, or declare their admiration of the fugitive slave law, or to declare war upon the lienks. or to make those nice distinc tions between a tariff for revenue and one for protection. Time and" circumstances have disposed of these questions, and they are not available as parte of a new build ing. But the artizans who are to build the structure are skilful and experienced, and we may expect from their hands an admi rable spev imen of political mosaic, which, iiffwever incongruous the material, may be sufficient to cheat their nuMes, who care very little for platforms, so they help their leaders to pocket the spoils. ...

Masonic.—We have heard of several instances lately in which Freemasons in good standing in their Lodges, and against whom nothing can be alleged except their politics, being Republicans, have been debarred from their Masonic rights, and even requested to resign their connection with the Order. As soon as we can have access to certain books containing Masonic revelations wc intend to publish the oaths taken in the various degrees, to show how much Masons arc falsifying their obliga tions by such persecution. The world shall know what a flimsy thing an oath is regarded to be by Mich men. If possible, they arc worse Pliim isees than some Church members. Memorandum. —There are many men of Seccsh proclivities who are to-day more malignant and implacable than ever—most of them, by the way, men who did very little fighting for the ideas to which they still profess devotion, and who illustrated the old saying, “After a civil war it is always difficult to restrain the fury of the non combatants.' These men, whether at the South or at the North, will vote the Democratic ticket. True. Some disunion paper says it is a startling fact that the national debt is steadily increasing, and says it is “a matter which should arrest the attention of the people.” Very true; and as that staunch democrat, Mr. Mr Ut i.i.ocn, and the rene gade President Johnson are responsible tor the fact, the people will give their attention to the matter in November by sectfring a Republican administration. * GEN. GRANT J,S' A STATESMAN. There are many politicians and some newspapers of the Democratic school who affect to believe that General Grunt is not only destitute of military skill, and of all the qualities which make great captains, but that really he is no statesman, ami he will boa failure in the management of civil affairs. Os course the purpose of all thii is under stood. In belittling General Grant they hope to defeat the party which has placed him in nomination and thus get themselves into power. The same sort of warfare was resorted to in the days of General Jackson and General Taylor, and with what success is now fully seen. The weapons Os the war fare then and now are the same, and they will alike fail. The fact is, the gift of gab, the faculty of speech-milking, what is known as mere learning or book knowledge are vastly overrated. It is your men of strong sense, men capable of grasping great princi ples and true ideas and of applying them ; men who can forecast in respect to future issues and see the workings of a beneficent Providence in remodeling old institutions and in putting an end to those which should go down before an advancing civilization, that become the leaders of the hour and day. These are our statesmen, bnt the work of conserving what is wrong and what ought to pass away is left to mere demagogues, your Seymours, your Pendletons, and men of that ilk. Early in the war, and before even Mr. Lincoln issued his emancipation proclama tion, General Grant saw that there could be no permanent peace in this country while slavery existed, as will be seen by the following letter addressed to Hon. E. B. Washburne : VitKSßuna, Miss , August 30, 1862. Drab Sib : Tho people need not quarrel over the institution of slavery. What Vice President Stephens acknowledges as tho corner stone of the Confederacy is already knocked out. Slavery is already dead, and can not be resurrected. It would take a standing a-my to maintain slavery in the South if we were to make peace to-day, guaranteeing le the Seat! al! their former privil eges. I never was an Abolitionist—not oven what could Ito called anti-slavery—but I try to judge fairly and honestly, and it became patent to my mind early in the rebellion (bat the North and South could never live in peace with each other except as or.o nation, and that without slavery. As anxious as lam to see peaeo estab lished, I would not therefore bo willing to tea any settlement until this question is sytteiY' Your sincere friead, U. S.AGbast The above is the utterance of a statesman, mid it will be borne in mind this letter was written at an early day, when multitudes of Democrats were loudly vociferating that it was not lhe purpose>e4-llie war to abolish slavery. (IciuwwlrG/ant saw what was right .imaa! what fiflght to be done, and, stat< suian like, avowed his principles, like a far-seeing and true man, as he is. When, after this, Mr. Lincoln ime I that proclamation which mini.- him immortal, be invoked in its favor “the considerate judg ment of mankind, and the blissing of Almighty God.” We can ask the same in favor of this letter cf General Grant. It places him, if he had done nothing more, in the front rank of American statesmen. lie had that sagacity and that clearness ol vision to see what was right and also the courage to avow his principles. Take another fact: General Grant served for a time in the civil capacity of Secretary of War, mid during that time, President Johnson .-.ent a message to Congress in which he declared “that great reduction of expenses hud been effected under bis administration of the War Department to the saving of millions of dollars to the Treasury.’ - Does not this show statesmanship and capacity?— IFds k ington Eqntblica n. POLITICAL NEWS. Gen. McClernand is being urged by Western Democrats for the Vice Presidency. Hon. John Lynch was, Thursday, renomi nated for Congress in the First Congressional District Republican Convention, Maine. The Republicans of the Second Congres sional District of Maine have nominated S. P. Morrill, of Farmington, for Congress. The Republican Executive Committee of Louisiana claim that the State will give Grant mid Colfax 25,000 majority. Gen. Banks is taking - an active part in tho campaign in Massachusetts. He has already spoken at several Grant meetings. Democratic planters in. Virginia now insert in their contracts with uegro workmen a clause that the latter shall vole as their employers may direct. The Legislature o! Louisiana, as officially announced by Gen.
