Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, late of the Confederate service, declared at the New York ratification meeting : We can have no relief unless this great Demo cratic party will come out and pledge itself that we shall have a fair election—that the white peo ple of the South shall vote ; and I want you all to register an oath that when they do vote that these votes shall be counted, and if there is a minority of white votes, that you will place Bktmocr and Blair in the White House in spite of all the bayonets that shall be brought against them. Bi.aib, iu his letter to Broadkead, says we must have a President who will declare the reconstruction measures of Congress null and void, and compel the army to break up and disperse the State govern ments and trample the reconstruction acts in the dust. Who can fail to see the unmistakable foreshadowing of another rebellion, if the Democracy should succeed, by-the aid of Johnson’s amnestied rebel voters in the South, to secure a majority of the electoral votes for Seymour and Blair. The loyal masses have one more victory to win over rebels nnd traitors to render permanent the undying principles of justice, liberty nnd equaltoy, anti secure peace, unity and prosperity to the Republic, nnd that victory is to be won at the polls next November. See to it, ye loyal and true men throughout the land, that treason meets with a Waterloo defeat nt the coming election. ■■■ ■— l Is It Worth While? —Even some of the bitterest copperhead journals, like the Day Book and the Wert and South, see that inflation is ruination.

Let every voter who does not wish to ' see “ chaos come again,’’ ponder well these questions, and put their proper solution beyond u doubt by voting against the party that entertains ideas of inflation, repudiation, nullification and revolution. * - • -♦■ • * The Macon Telegraph relates how a circle of spiritualists recently, in that city, received the following singular communication from the shade of the Confederate chieftain, Stonewall Jackson : “Our country will soon bo rid ol all trouble, and the South will put forth iu all her glory.

WASHINGTON LETTER. The Business before Congress—More Legislation Needed to Protect Union Men—Johnson’s Apos lacy-—Hots it wan. Brought About —Probable Course of the President—Effect of More Legisla tion. Washington, D. C., July 25, 1868. The time fixed upon by both houses of Congress to take a “recess” will be reached to-morrow, and I regret to say there?is little probability of the resolution being recon sidered, notwithstanding the vast amount of important business still on hand which should be acted upon before the members separate. Ido not believe in the policy advanced by some Congressmen and prac ticed by Others of tempting a man to do wrong. Courts and juries always take the fact of unusually strong temptation to com mit crime as a mitigating circumstance. No man can be hold entirely blameless who intentionally or recklessly tempts another to do wrong. The office of President is one of the most dangerous that can be imagined for a weak minded man or one of tinsel tied principles. It lias often been said, and I believe the remark pertinent, that the Re publican party is not entirely guiltless of Andrew Johnson’s apostacy ; had they upon his first assuming the functions of Chief Magistrate as Executive officer of the nation surrounded him by a cordon of friends in sympathy with the great progressive party of the day, he never would have gone astray. Chagrined and mortified at his. unfortunate condition on inauguration day, all the great leaders of the party, centered at the capito), shamed and avoided him from that time forward until he had com mitted himself,'and when they did attempt to repair former neglect and indifference it was then too late. Mr. Johnson, it is true, is opinionated to a degree not generally believed and cannot be controlled by force. This can only bo done through the art diplomatic when lie is as tractable and as easily managed as a child, for* he belongs to that order of mankind who like it to be thought they have their own way. In 1865, the rebelleaders got the start of the Union men in this respect, and they have made Mr. Johnson, without his fully realizing the fact, do their bidding ever since. It is well known that, notwithstanding the many political positions held by Mr. Johnson in his native State, he never occupied the high social plane, and intuitively, like a majority of the “poor whites” South, looked up to the slave aristocracy as a higher order of beings. When these men, isolated as he was at the time by hi* own infirmities, in 1865, came fawning around him, and humbly asking for pardon, and representing that ho could boa saviour for the South, his vanity and pride were both gratified, and the imme diate result was his 22d of February speech, in rear of the White Hcuse. Once the false step taken, there was no possibility for him to switch off. Recrimination between the President and leading members of Congress was the order ol the day, and the breach widened until, practically, Mr. Johnson has superseded Jeff’. Davis as leader of the rebel hosts, and should another civil war break forth from the issues now pending, he would seek to be the leader of the new rebellion. In view of the facts, I think it a mistake to tempt such a man tc wallow deeper in the mire of infamy, by Congress taking a recess and leaving important measures, of vital interest to the Union people of.the South particularly, for him to veto or render inoper ative by a strained construction. There is, for instance, the military bill, which has yet to go back to the Senate, to consider arnonj ments made in the House, before it can go to the President, who has already setni ofli ially announced that he will keep the bill the whole time allowed him by law—ten days. It is well known that ho will veto the bill if time is afforded ; for the section giving arms to loyal militia in the rehabili tated Southern States, if carried into effect, would be u death blow to all his own and rebel predictions as to the stability of the new governments, aud a certain guarantee of peace and good order which has been prophesied by the whole rebel Democracy could not be the result of reconstruction under the Congressional plan. Without these arms some of ths Southern States, at least, will be at the mercy of’tlie mob at the first provocation. The military force is being withdrawn ns rapidly as possible, 'and the President can order every United States soldier out of Georgia, for instance, any day ; and who does not know- that lie would like to see the Union men there driven ont ? Then there are three States—Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia—almost without any protection whatever, and the bills for th-- relief of these States will certainly be vetoed, even if passed to morrow. There are prom inent Uuion men here to-day from these States who dare not return without further protection from Congress to enable them to defend themselves. The wive*, of several delegates here have written, begging to be removed North. “Our children are threat ened and hooted in the streets daily, aud we are warned to-leave and you are warned not to return,” is the burthen of these letters. Even as near the sent ot Government Its Lynchburg, Va., this fooling is made mauv fest. Some people, over anxious to impeach the President, are willing to tempt him to do further wrong that his removal may be secured beyond till peradventure. It re quires no new outrage for this to be success ful, tor impeachment article* have already been presented, aud everybody here know* that almost every new member of Congress is in fnvor of impeachment ; so that in the Senate, should n new trial take place, there could be no. doubt as to' the result. A majority of the Congressmen seem to be thoroughly “homesick,” and it cajii be hardly expected that they will reconsider their former actioil as to a recess. During the last week, an immense amount of business has been transacted. Long sessions and evening sessions have been held by both Houses ; last night, the Senate was in session until 2 o'clock, and that body is at work to night (Sunday), and the House was at work nearly *ll day. The bill passed by the Senate, yesterday, to protect American citizens abroad, will not be dangerous, if it should even become a law. As originally presented bv Mr. Coniieas, it gave the President such powers as to enable him, if so disposed, to involve this country in war at any moment. As the bill stands, he is required to use the powers with which he is already endowed. Il is only a gentle reminder of what Con-, gress expects him to do. The adoption of the Fourteenth Amend <*«nt by the Georgia legislature has averted one threatened difficulty, for the Democracy, backed up by Johnson and Seward, seemed determined to assume that the Ainendiucirt had not become * part of tlm Constitution, the requisite two-think including Ohio and New Jersey, which States, it k claimed, have annulled their former action ; but the action of Georgia removes this disturbing element, nnd Mr. Johnson will have to fall baqk atone upon the “unconstitutionality of the recon- j struction laws of Congress.” Wc have had another change in the weather, and instead of the hot, sweltering weather of the Inst two weeks, it is cold enough to-day to make fires comfortable, if not a necessity.
