neither labor nor expense in making Tut
National Republican a useful and reliable

THE NEW REBELLION.
There is no mistaking tlic animus of the
rebels in the South, on the subject of
Blair’s rebellion. The general clamor of
applause and the evident intensity of ex -
citement underlying it, us though, they
were on the verge of great deeds, is neither
disguised nor concealed, but isopeuly and
shamelessly paraded in the columns of
Southern democratic orgtfn*. Such influ
ential papers as the New Orleans Timet and
Crescent, the Richmond Etrnniner and En
quirer, and the Mobile Rcq'ider scatter
abroad the poison of treason in every num
ber. The flippant manner in which they
habitually refer to loyal papers ns ‘'incen
diary sheets,” and to loyal men as ‘’scala
wag*,’’ •‘carpet-baggers,’’ “tniscegenating
scoundrels,” etc., is but a minor evidence
of the bitterness which cortodes the heart
of unsuccessful treason. But the advice
freely tendered to the cx-rcbcls ns to their
course toward loyal men, the palliative
manner of speaking of such outrages as
can not be decently ignored, and the per
sistent contempt of the law and of legisla
tors, is of a weightier character, tending
constantly to breed and fosterinstihordina ■
tion and ,rcl>ellioii.
Almost with one voice, these videttes of
tbe new tebellion have echoed anti endorsed
the Blaui programme, as trimmed, revised
and made “practicable” by Blair's peers,
Hampton, Preston, Forrest, et id omue
qeiiun. It la evidently Ixflicved in the South
that the cowardly fire-in-the rear “pence
Democrats” of the North mean tight. The
rebels have forgotten how these same fel
lows urged them on with delusive promises
of support, a few years ago, and then fled
to Canada. They believe that the many
faced presentation of that remarkable
Democratic hybridism, treacherous Sey
mour and blatant Blair, with Pendleton
in the background, will .sweep the North
like a furious storm at the equinox; they
think that revolution will carry the South
and Southwest, repudiation the Northwest,
and the East will be led by that queer
•interpretation’’ of the platform under
which Chase cnuld "have accepted the
nomination, with the shrewd manipulation
of the Albffhy regency and the substantial
aid of Wall street. With a majority of
the electoral Vote from the North, they
count the rebel vote of the South under
the Johnson constitutions of '65, quietly
ignoring the rfr /rtefe governments, and
have Seymour and lllair already, in
imagination, enthroned at Washington,
Congress humbled and subservient at their
feet, and “the d—d niggers" fast iu the
toils of the infamous apprenticeship laws
of Johnson’s Legislatures, in a condition
ten fold ’worse than slavery, wiuse than
death.
This is no fancy sketch, no bugbear,of a
diseased imagination. The scheme is ripe,
the thin cloak of pretended submission to
the victorious power of tbe nation is cast
off, and even tbe most minute details arc
agreed upon and published. It is well
that it is so. If we must again thco armed
treason, we can not too soon appreciate tbe
facts and get ready. Forewarned is fore
armed. ’ With the first blast of the rebej
trumpet thia nation will cast off its incre
dulity and resign its rest after battle, put
on the strong sword of national justice,
and sweep these traitors from the face of
the earth. There will be no dallying with
treason this time. There will be no coax
ing and no long delays in the punishment
of the most gigantic crime of modern
days—the crime of conspiracy against the
peace and prosperity of thirty millions of
freemen.
• •
The Columbus Gruis rather overdoes the
business of accounting l«r Seymoch’s nomi
nation. According to that authority, it was
to prevent the heretical and fatal nomina
tion of Chase that Seymour was taken, just
as Seymour and the New YorkCrs were
going to do that business. Seymour was
1 for Ceas*. They preferred Chase at second
I hand rather than in the “original package. r ‘
A RARE COMBINATION.
The Democratic ticket, contrary to usual
custom, seems to lie weak just where it
was expected to be strong. Seymour's
nomination, made because it was thought
New York could Ire carried, has aroused
Republicans tb very strong hopes of carry
ing that State, aud his unpopularity at
the East is so great that men arc found in
every Eastern town who declare that they
are Democrats but can not go for Sey
mour. Names of such men arc published
in some Eastern papers, and among them
are some of local prominence. In general
terms, Seymour's Copperhead record, in
stead of strengthening the party at the
East where he is best known, weakens it,
and drives over to Republicans -some who
have voted for the Democrats in other
elections. Blair, again, was nominated
iu a faint hope that he might do some
thing for the ticket at the West. But
need we say that he only hurts it there ?
Every Radical in Missouri feels the more
certain of victory, now that Blair is the
I>emocratic candidate. With some Eastern
man for Vice President, the Democrats
would have polled their full vote, though
they would have gained nothing. With
Blair, they gain nothing because he is
too well known to loyal and true men.
while his name is peculiarly distasteful
both to former rebels and old Democrats.
But Blair has this to boast of: his letter
damages the ticket all over the country ;
Seymour's record hurts it mainly where
he is well known.
'■*• • -<*•—
ALASKA.
The Alaska question is settled at last,
by the passage of a bill appropriating the
money for the purchase. Our flag and
our laws, revenue laws inchided, are ex
tended over a long strip of territory now
almost uninhabited and likely to remain
so. There is fine timber along the coast,
which will be of use in shiji-bqilding, and
the fisheries arc said to be valuable. But
we have never yet been able to discover
what there is in the territory purchased to
make it worth seven millions in gold.
The Senate ought to know, for it ratified
the treaty, and Mr. Seward ought to know,
for he elaborately advocated its ratifica
tion ; but the country docs not know,
and the purchase of the national ice-house
is still regarded as a pretty questionable
speculation. Nevertheless, when the
treaty hail once been ratified by tbe
Senate, it would have been quite as credit
able to our government if Congress had
voted the needed appropriation without
delay, leaving the question of the pro
priety of such c treaty for separate dis
cussion. If the Senate had made a
mistake, it would have been better to pass
it over quietly than to raise the ques
tion for consideration of foreign powers
whether a treaty with the United States,
made and ratified according to our Con
stitution, is in reality, worth anything. *
THE REBEL FLAG.
It is still in existence, and we may expect,
under the inspiring influences vouchsafed by
Democratic promises of success, to see it
soon undulating in the breekea of heaven in
the South.
There was a public meeting last Saturday
evening in Charleston, South Carolina, and
we are told that the band played “Dixie,”
and other inspiring Southern airs, and there,
was much enthusiasm. Wade Hampton was
called out. He spoke in complimentary
words of the chivalry of Charleston, and he
told the crowd that “he had preserved the
flag from the general wreck, and had cher
ished it, and he intended to keep it until they
had a State again.” His speech was received
with tumultuous applause.
’This docs not look much like accepting tbe
situation ; but it does look like the Inaugu
ration o( another rebellion when Seymour
and Blair shall be elected.
The rebels mean this time a war not out
side but inside of the Union, aud they con
fidently rely npon the Democratic party to
aid them in the overthrow of the government
by violence.
The bitterness of the brevet*Democratic
Conservative war meh prompts them to dis
regard the love of kindred, the endearing
relations of social life, and the sacred ties of
church fellowship. .Can any who belinvbS
Ulis is a free country, aud that all men are
entitled to entertain and express their politi
cal opinions, vote for such men ? Can
Christian men endorse this course ?
The Democratic party proposes to run the
Presidential race with a three-legged hotse.
Seymour is the “bloated bondholders” can
didate, Blair is the candidate of the revolu
tionists- Their platform is the candidate of
thh repudiationists.
The other day au old soldier, who lost au
arm, said : “1 am waiting to sec it the
people of this country are going to elect
Horatio Seymour, and, if they do, 1 will
swear that 1 lost my arm in a threshing
machine, not in defence of my country.”

FRANKLIN COUNTY GRANT CLUB.
The following resolutions were adopted
at the Grant Club of Franklin county,
Georgia, on the 18th day of July, 1868 :
Whereas, In our judgment, the peace
and prosperity of not only the State of
Georgia, but of the United StateE of Amer
ica, depend in a great measure upon the
success of the Republican party in the
Presidential election to be held in the
month of November, 1868, and that we
believe the Democratic party as now
organized is wielding, or attempting to
wield tin undue influence over the interest
of the working men of Georgia, both white
anil colored, and that the principles of
said party are destructive to good govern
ment and to the welfare of the laboring
masses; and
Whereas, The Democratic party arc
forming clubs throughout the South, and
using every means both fair and foul to
entrap the freedmen (and every honest
laboring class of people, no matter what
may be their color) into the adoption of
their mad and revolutionary principles;
and
Whereas, we recognize in the Democratic
platform a denial of the right of suffrage to
the colored people —a right which they now
enjoy and which was conferred upon them
by a wise and magnanimous Coftgress, and
Whereas, in our judgment the vote of tlie
colored people is necessary for the protec
tion of loyal white men of the South as well
as their own race. Therefore be it
Resolced, That we endorse the principles
set forth in the Chicago platform.
Resolved, That we enjoin upon ourselves
the duty of enlightening the people, without
regard to race or color, upon the great issue
now before them.
Resolved, That wo do recognize in the
person and character of General Grant and
the Honorable Schuyler Colfax that deep
devotion and fidelity to the principles of
Constitutional liberty.
Resolved, 'l’hat we do pledge ourselves to
the support of Grant and Colfax in their
election to the offices of President and Vice
President of the United States in November,
1868, believing them to be the very best men
for the times.
Reeoleed, That we heartily congratulate
the members of the Chicago Convention upon
their calm and creditable deliberation, which
characterized the party, and upon their ex
traordinary wisdom in selecting candidates
for President and Vice President ot the
United States. John W. Barney,
