OF INDIANA.
The Democratic Jollification, lust
night, at the City Hall yard, was huge—
some seven or eight hundred persons, of all
sizes Snd colors, listened to appeals in
behalf of Seymour and Blair, made
by Wade Hampton, A. I’. Aldrich,
and A. Raks. Wright. We ewere dis
appointed in the first speaker, surprised
at the second, and disgusted at tlie antics
of the clown—the last' speaker, who took
especial pains to advocate political, busi
ness and social ostracism of Republicans.
THEN AND NOW.
We shall not attempt to disguise the fart
that General F. P. Blair, Jr., was a valiant
man, and that he actually did the country
some service during the rebellion, but a
very great and surprising change seems to
have come over the spirit of his dream.
When the war closed, he made an address
to his soldiers, wherein he gave them this
advice:
Your service demands abetter recognition at
the bands of the country yon have aided to pre
serve than more word* of applause. The Romans
msde their soldiers freeholders in the
lands they had conijncred, and as upon your re
turn to your homes you will find most of the
occupations and employments filled by adepts
from civil life; and as the Government A«» vast
tracts of Vacant lands, which will be increased by
the war, the interests of ihe country and your
own will concur in the apportionment of these
lands'to your use and occupancy, establishing a
'■ citizen soldiery to maintain internal peace and
i set foreign foes at defiance.
Does not this look strongly to confisca
tion l And it will be borne in mind that
this was spoken before Thad.
had said a word, or General Bvti.ek had
promulgated his plan of confiscation.
While the Democratic journalstare put>-
• lishing Mr. Blair's letter to Col. Broad
head, would it not be well to give this
speech in a parallel column I We com
mend it especially to those newspapers
which are so jubilant over Mr. Blair’s
nomination, and rejoice so heartily at his
expressed views upon the, to them, favorite
Idea of another rebellion.
In this same speech Mr. Blair made al
lusion to affairs in Mexico, and fully en
dorsed he MonrOk doctrine. He said :
If that object can be obtained by pacific means,
then soldiery ia at an end, and your sole business
hereafter will be to develops,- cprieb, and improve
our great country. To that end e«r soldiers
should be. provided with homesteads, and in ne
part of the country would they be more useful
than in the South which they have redeemed.
We commend these extracts to our
Southern friends, and sincerely hope they
may derive crimfort from these • earlier and
better notions of that “gallant general of
the Northern army.” as some of them arc
wont to call him. ♦
DEMAND OF AN HONEST MAN.
There are evidently some honest Demo
crats who would like to see their party
possessed of that virtue which was long
ago declared to be’“the best, policy.” One
of these recently said, “there is no compro
mise between right and wrong; jf we
suppose the Republicans to be right, we
ought not to nominate a candidate: if we
are right, we ought to nominate one of our
representative men, and not a RaiUcjil Re
publican of yesterday,” This would )g>
carrying principle in politics a, great way'
1 further than the Tammany managers could
see it to their interest to do. No matter
how wrong they might know themselves
to be, they were in no danger of letting the
’ election go by default for the lack of a
1 nomination. The desire of the wisest and
, shrewdest of them evidently was not to
accept the last Jioru of the dilemma so
honestly presented. '
They dasire>ot to nominate a representa
tive man, but rather a “Radical Repuldi
ean of yesterday,” that they might thereby
gain over Republican votes enough to
secure the victory. This plan, howeveri
was thwarted, by what means the country
well knows. A copperhead ol the most
unmitigated kind stands before the country
on a platform of repudiation I So honest
and so truly “representative” is the ticket
and the platform that it will receive the
votes ol thoije only who are copperheads
like Seymour and Blair, and rcpudiaUns
like Pendleton, who is just as positively
present in the platform as if his name stood
at the head of the ticket. *
• -W- •
Democratic Duplicity,.—it would be
interestiug to know if any two al ihe demo
eratic leaders profess the same principles,
or if any one of them professes the same
principles in two different places. One says
the democratic platform means the payment
of the national debt in greenbacks; smother
says “greenbacks os good as gold;’’ another
still says gold—each as his immediate'
personal interests dictate. Seymour, in his
Albany speech, argued for gold. Pesdle
ton says that he endorses the entire demo'
cratic platform—that it uieaus the payment
of the 2'2o’s in greenbacks, and that
Seymour and Blahi “have both explicitly
declared that they approve these principles.”
The leaders preach gold and good faith to
•the bondholders in the East, greenbacks and
repudiation to the tax payers in the West,
revolution and the “Lost Cause” to the
secessionists in the Soqtli. If there is
anything in a triangular fight, they cer
tainly ought to reap the advantages of it
They have all the elements of doubtful
ambiguity and glorious uncertainty on their
side. They have no local habitation and
scarcely a name. Their mode of warfare is
of the guerrilla or Donnybrook style ; and
one might about as well attempt to catch
the “Flying Dutchman” as to ifot them into
a square fight. *

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Political Jkcitepsent—Thaiske.to Toombs, CM dr
Co.—Modern Democracy—77« Feeling Toward
it Throughout the North—A Negro Hoy and
Victoria—Prospects of Another Session of
Congress.
Washington, D. C., August 1, 1868.
What the politicul press of the whole
country has failed to do in an attempt
cowering a period of more than two months,
Toombs, Cobb, and Wade Hampton, have
accomplished in lean than that number of
days. The speeches delivered nt Atlanta
and Charleston have aroused the people of
the North as they have not been aroused
since the firing upon Fort Sumter in 1861.
Aided by these speeches, the people aro
crabled to arrive at the real meaning of
the Rebel Democratic Love Feast held in
New York in July last. The platform
being mostly composed of dead issties, it
was before inexplicable ; the rank and file
of the Northern Democracy were not will
ing to accept and did not believe that
Frank Blair was the real interpreter of the
situation. Under the light of these
speeches, we now see that Blair has struck
the key note of the Democratic bugle, and
big revolutionary ideas are fully endorsed
“ Our own way or another civil war” should
be placarded on every rebel’s brazen fore
head throughout the South, that he who
runs may read. At the North, the Repub'
licans will sec to it that every copperhead
is thus branded. Already these speeches
have been printed in circular form, and
before the campaign is over every voter in
the land will have perused these diatribes.
These, with a few extracts from rebel
presses, thoroughly circulated, is all that
is necessary to secure Grant’s election
by a larger vote than was ever cast be
fore. Take New York State as an illus
tration. The Republicans never have
expected to carry that State by more than
ten or fifteeu thousand majority, ttnd now
they expect to carry it by thirty thousand 1
This is allowing for a large increase in the
copperhead and rebel vote in New York
city. Not an honest soldier can possibly
vote for Seymour and Blair. My experience
is the same with all to whom I converse, and
that is among personal acquaintances out
side of professional politicians.
Ido not know a single Democrat who
comes out openly in favor of Seymour and
Blair, while, on the other hand, I know of
scores who assert they cannot vote that
ticket. It is a ticket that will receive the
votes only of all who, during the late war,
were armed rebels nt the South, and copper
heads and peace Democrats at the North.
After this election, I predict the present
Democratic party will never come trp again
ns an organization; at all events, not under
the present leaders. Defunct politicians, like
Toombs, Cobb and Seymour, are at least
fifty years behind the age. But, as they
would rapier “ serve in hell than dwell in
heaven,” so mote it be; and they will get
played out in. the long run on that line.
Ono bad effect of these speeches is, that
it will prevent capital moving Southward—
particularly Cobb’s speech. These men must
be crushed out, and the Islrmaelites of the
press, who go yelping at their side aj hungry
curs, before the Sbuth can again become
fully prosperous. A man must either be a
• fool or a knave, wh?T seriously talks of
wiping out the reconstruction laws of Con
gress, or of ignoring.the Fourteenth Consti
tutional Amendment. The Union men of
ibis country are determined to reconstruct it
upon a permanent basis, and it will be done.
Rebels may kick and splurge as they please,
but the lint has gone forth, and they must
yield to the logic of events. It is
not positively eriminul, for the Southern
people lunger to be deceived by their super
onuated and infatuated lenders. Tirtie ani]
time again hhve they deceived the people,
the same as Norlliem Democrats have de
ceived them. They promised aid in 1.861,
and so along up to the present day. But
whenever Northern Democrats have attempt
ed to aid the South, they have invariably
injured tho cause they wished to serve; It
will be so in regard to the eleoliou of Sey
nxmr and Blair. While, in the excitement
of the moment, they hold out there Is hope
of success, lit the same tirrie there is no hoptj
im- aid from this qdartet But, suppose it
wqre possible for Seymour ami Blair -to be.
elected, what could they do towards setting
buck the work rt reconstruction ? ’There
would be surely a majority of Congress
against theifi, and consequently their hands
would be tied ; and the first overt act would
be summarily treated, as a matter of neces
sity. What folly; then, for the’Kouth to
continue longer lu agg on foe Northern
Demoerelic party! Send all the visionary
politicians to the dogs, aud pit all the others
to Mome legitimate business—farming or
manufacturing— and limn the country will
prosper, and there need be no .heartburnings.

visited by a little negro boy, the son of Theo

he be as the ace of spades, is to bo educated
by the Queen and put upon an equality with
her own children. What think the white
mnu’s party of such a proceeding ?
1 see that the North Carolina Republican
papers are using against Frank Blair similar
charges to those made against Gen. Butler.
He is not only accused ol stealing “spoons,”
but doing everything else that is bad while
in that State just at the close of the war.
O. O'. I’arshlay & Co., of Wilmington, are

RHETORICAL FUSTIAN-HAMPT ON
AND BLAIR.
When Mr. Wade Hampton was speaking
to the Democrats of this city he called upon
them to “register an oath’ - to do something
or other; and now Mr. Frank Blair, in his
letter accepting his nomination, calls Gen.
Grant a “mailed warrior.”
It would be too much to hope that the
adherents of the lost cause should speak
sensibly before they think sensibly. So
long as they are determined to fight over
their defeated battles ; so long as they in
dulge hopes of undoing by violence the al
most accomplished reconstruction ; so long
as they can find profit or comfort in resist
ing the inevitable —it is scarcely to be ex
pected that their words will be wiser than
their purpose. Vapid .and extravagant
language will continue to express credulous
or delusive ideas.
If Mr. Hampton had thought of it, there
can be no advantage of registering an oath/
The very act at once denotes some weak
ness in the cause that has no continuous
faith or reason to support it, but needs the
obligation of registered oaths to bind its
friends. The rank and file of the Democracy
are so accustomed to oaths of every kind
that their mere registration, however that
solemn act is to be accomplished, would
scarcely give them greater force, or signifi
cance. The powers that are engaged in
such duties must have been so busily em
ployed during the late Convention, that it
seems cruel and superfluous on Mr. Hamp
ton’s part to impose further labors on them.
But in what way is the registration to be
accomplished? With what formalities and
ceremonies? In these later times, when
people are too much concerned with realities
to attend much to forms, one’s knowledge of
the manner in which oaths arc registered is
derived from the operas of Verdi, or in more
pronounced shape, from Bowery dramas
The registration of oaths in such representa
tions is a very terrible business. Gloomy
looking persons, in much beard and broad
brimmed hats, go stalking about, and mutter,
and whisper, and draw swords, and kneel
down, and generally make a great time about
it The report does not say that Mr. Hampton
indulged in any gestures or relied upon any
accessories. It is to be hoped that the occa.
eion was not altogether devoid of effect, and
until wc hear to the contrary, we shall
believe that when Mr. Hampton called upon
the faithful to register their oaths, there was
a convenient cross-hiltcd sword to be kissed,
a bare head reverently lifted to the skies, a
manly form kneeling in the open air, an
uplifted finger, and a hushed and huddled
crowd.
But after all, the South Carolinian has
been outdone' by Mr. Blair. When that
discreet and discriminating gentleman
called Gen. Grant a “mailed warrior,” he
said something which time will refuse to
forget until after the election. How a fine
expression sometimes discloses and reveals
a man to you 1 It has been a very common
belief that Gen. Grant is a man of the
simplest tastes and manners, altogether
unaffected, and quite incapable of any fuss
or pretence. It has been believed that he
wore plain clothes, that he did not permit
his rank and' position to be obtrusive, and
that he is the last man in the world to
assume a tragedy air op place himself on a
pedestal.
But all this, doubtless, is a mistake, for l
Blair calls him a “mailed warrior.” That
means somebody whose stalwart frame is
covered with chain armor; somebody who
has a visor which is always up or down ;
who has a spear in rest or otherwise ; who
wears a great two-edged sword ; who goes
clanking about in the biggest of spurs ;
who at other times bestrides, the. most
spirited of chargers, and vvho has a plume
of the eagle or ostrich, or some other
noted bird, streaming from his gorgeous
helmet. The mailed warrior is a splendid
object, a frontispiece for storied of the
crusades, or history of terrific fights and
tournaments. He is supposed to have
imperious ways, irreverently speaks of an
appreciative public as scum and churls, will
not shake hands with them, and at their
bare approach gives loud and hoarse com
mands to bis retainers to have certain
bridges raised, and gates closed, and other
things of an unsociable character done, to
keep out the crowd. ■ firs is your proper
‘ mailed warrior,” and such, according to
Blair, is General Grant.
All this is very nonsensical 0:1 the part
of those who champion revolution, but it has
perhaps one advantage. The desperate
things that Hampton and Blair propose to
do—their violent appeals, which would
incite violence- -i»> il e theii utterances
terror, and it is a relief to find that they are
not all the lime bloody and vindictive, but.
whether they mean it or not, are sometimes
absurd.— New York Times.
