THURSDAY MORNING August «,IS«6 For JPTtESII>EINT Os the United States: ULYSSES S. GRANT. FOR VICE PRESIDENT :• Schuyler 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. * —— • ♦- • • - —The whole number of immigrant* that arrived in this country for the eight yejrs ending June 1867,. was 1,487,568. [Correspondence Augusta Republican. 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. 1 see Queen Victoria has been formally visited by a little negro boy, the son of Theo dore •suinetbing, recently the bare footed king of Abyssinia. This boy, black'though 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 represcnteil as being among the principal sufferers. The appearance of the newly elected members of Congress disarmed their ene mies here almost to a wan and nt once.— They arc, riot drily as a class, intelligent men but men possessing considerable means, and more than one copperhead editor ex pressed tlgir surprise that Southern com servative editors eould tell such glaring falsehoods oven afantt political enemies. If these men are socially ostracised at the South, so much the worse for the South. The indications now are that there will be another session of the present Congre-s. It will be necessary to pass the military bill to enable the new Governments in the South to protect themselves against evil minded persons, the evidence here from reliable sources indicating danger ahead. President Johnson may possibly render this reassembling unnecessary, but it is hardly ito be expected of him, and still he can not. support the New York nominees, and four members of the cabinet are With him in this resncct. The city is nearly deserted at the present time. A few thread-bare politicians and lobbyists still remaining taking a last look, but all the distinguished men, good and bad, have left for a more eongeniaf latitude.

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.
