ScntYLER Colfax, our next Vice , President, delivered at Lafayette, Indiana. > Head it, Republicans : read it, Democrats, and you will sec there enunciated the Due policy of the Republican party of the ’ country through one of its great staudaid- I liearcrs. Hoty unlike the speeches of Toombs & Co. While the latter firm deal , in abuse and vituperation, Mr. Colfax ’ lays before the country unanswerable ar guments, and the stern and logical reasons why you should support Republican cause. His glowing eulogy on the llcpublicau party is but an anticipation of the verdict j. of history. His incidental allusions to General Grant were eminently just and , happy. With his election comes assured [ peace and restored order, with equal rights i to al], throughout the disturbed regions, 1 where Democratic teaching and malignity ' are now producing anarchy and terror. The brief speech Os Mr. Colfax called : forth the most hearty applause. - ♦♦♦■ PENNSYLVANIA. Two members of Congress from Penn sylvania have died since the adjournment in July last—Mr. Stevens, in the Tenth District, and Mr. Finney, in the Twentieth O. J. Dickey has been nominated by the Republicans for both the short and the long term in the former District, and G. W. Gilfillan for the long term and 8. N. Potter for the short term, in the latter. Both Districts are decidedly Republican. Senator Cameron made a brief speech nt Erie, on the 29th ultimo, in the course . of which he said: “The Ixittle was in Pennsylvania. He had been through the State and seen the people, and everywhere he Lad found Republicans on the alert. He believed that the majority in the State in October would reach 20,000." j Late private advices, from a trustworthy i source, give the assurance of an undoubted » Republican victory in Pennsylvania on the ’ 4 Btli of October. >'«*«■ - isf *——— i John T. Hoffman as He Was. During 1 the bloody Domoeriitic rebellion, when Lincoln was running the second time for President, John T. Huffman made several speeches, in one of which he said : I can only denounce the proclamation for an election in Tennessee, and if Lincoln is elected and inaugurated on these principles, - it will be resisted by force. Two persons s will then claim to be President, and 1 know a on which side tho fighting men will be . fouud. * Such a man finds no difficulty in afiiliat- J ing with Blair, Seymour and the Ku-Klnx. The leaders of the Democratic patty arc 5 saturated with the spirit of treason and revo r lution. , Gekbral Grant, who ia head of our I Regular Army, gave the following advice to i Regular Army officers, in a private note to * General Sherman, which the latter incorpo rated io his letter to the Philadelphia Boys ’ in Blue; “1 am very grateful for the support of s army officers, but did not expect or want ' their active support. Officers who expect to make the army their home for lite have ( to serve under successive Administrations, and should not make themselves obnoxious , to any party likely ever to come into power," This is another striking and noteworthy ilbistralion of Grant's wisdom and common sense. Sore Headed.—The Democrats seem to i consider themselves very anfortunate be- ■ cause they have to bear their share ol the ■ burdens of government. That they Lave to r pay their share of the expenses of putting , down the rebellion and swing the Union , cuts them to the quick. • t Delaware gives good promise of electing ' the gallant General Torbert, the Republican candidate, to Congress, and of casting her vote for Grant in November. Since the son of Stepheu A. Douglas has declared for Grant and Cottax, thy. Daylun Ledger, speaking for Mr. V’allamtigbam, says young Douglas “seems to have inherited a fair degree of deaiagbgistu." Thus a Democrat, who, while lining, exhibit.-d a breadth of principle incomprehensible to the Canadian exile, as it was foreign to his-na ture, is reviled in his grave. Vallamlighaoi never saw the.day be ,w<vul*t iiot have Imcu honored ia being permitted to hear the shoes of Doughs senior or Douglas jnnfor. SPEECH (>F THE HON. SCHUYLER COLFAX, AT LAFAYETTE, !NDI ANA. One of die grandest demonstrations of the I campaign took place, oa the tat, instant, at Lafayette, Indiana. It was a magnificent ovation to Indiana’ favorite son, the pop ular B|waiter of tho House of Representa tives and the prospective Vice-President of the United States, Hon. Schuyler Colfax. , The number of people in attendance is said to hare been twenty tliv-asa::-.!, inclu ding whole armies Os Fighting Boys in Blue. The city was gaily adorned for the occasion. It was 3 o’clock wlieu Mr, Colfax reached the city, and his appearance pn the platfori was greeted with unbounded and eutluisiaMh. cheers. After some iutrod-uctoi y remarks. Mr. Colfax said ■ I came hefe for another purpose. It was not to make a political speech. It is un- I necessary. You know right well, as you read the newspapers, what t»v opinions are on the great questions of the day. I have felt that self-respect and propriety ’ forbid my entering the political arena to analyze, discuss, and criticise the principles und jioliey of those arrayed against us. I will not deny that 1 have longed thus to speak in this compaigii, hut I have felt that when persons arc selected for the two hkkest offices in the nation, ns they are indei d the highest in the world, a sense of propriety should restrain them from titter or personal attacks or criticisms on the positions and character of opposing candidates. What ever, therefore, others may do, I must Ge faithful to my own eonvictuns, and avoid such a course. In regard to the principles, f policy, platform and letters of the Demo cratic candidates and party, my lips nre sealed. But there is one object upon which my Ftps are not, and never cun be sealed, until ! sealed in death, and that is the glorious record made by this noble, patriotic Repub lican party. That record will stand forever, written in letters of living truth anl light, on iTie mout brilliant pages of our country’s history. Os ibis record I can feel und say, • an you cun, let posterity read this, and let posterity judge. Oh, what a record it is I When this country was racked to its very centre by the shock of contending armies; ■ when the degenerate sons of tho country „ raised their rebellious baud-, against our ll.ig; when men proyfed themselves tin- • worthy of their birth, and sought to trample : iii tho dust that banner of beauty and glory; when they sought, to make -it the -winding sheet of the world’s hopes, there was one ’ party among whose number not a single fnati ! was unfaithful to the Consiiuifiim and flag, • and that was the Republican party. Wh. re, . 1 nsk, would have been the country, to-day, j if there had been no Republican party ? You would not have a country left to be I proud of. Our country lives, because we : dared to stand up and say the last’ man au.l the last dollar shall go, if necessary, to put down this infernal conspiracy. We knew this war would build up a large public debt, and we knew that tax laws must be passed to pay it. Wc knew these tilings were un t popular, but we said this is necessary for the salvation of our duar laud, and must be ’ done. Your Representative* an.l I said if it 1 drived uS into private life, wo wsll vote for these tax bills, for only by these can our banner be kept flying in the field. I don't speak to-day to gain votes. It would be unnecessary, it I was disposed to • do so. The result of the election is just us certain as if the votes were already counted ou'. in November. [Great applause.] When I the time crime, in the ot the war, tliat conseriptioh was necessary, we knew how unpopular a draft must be ; but our soldiers were dying from sickness in hos pitals, and being shot down by rebel bullets • and we found this was the only way to keep , our ranks full. We bad but one motive, and ! your Reprosfiiitativo and I said that, though the act drive us in private life, our voteshall be recorded in any and every law necessary to crush the rebellfol). We took the re sponsibility, nud the coniitry was saved, anil you rejrnee over that salvation to-day, and do not regret that the essential means were used. Wc had to levy infernal taxes to pay the public debt, but we nre reducing the taxes every year, and they will be further reduct-d every year, until we will tax luxuries and imported articles only. Tlio time will boon come when this will be sufficient U> meet the wants of the Government. That is not all, but is enough to crown witli eternal fflory find honbr those who dared to stand in the gap ; to risk all for ' the salvation of tho country. But that is i not all. Oh, no. Let us took ‘till further at thp record of this party. You know r how, for years and years, we bid oift faces t in shame because of that greatest us all 1 disgraces American slavery. When that • institution, the sum of alt villainies, had plunged the cosnti-y into a terrible civil war after throe years of forbearance, Mr, . Lincoln issued his proclamation declaring that if the Southern people continued to murder Union soldiers a hundred days more, he would strike tlio institution with th ebaitle-axo of the war power, and shatter it from turret to foundation stone. Wc stood by him unswervingly in that exciting contest. Do you not remember huw fuith fully every one of you Republicans stool by 1 our noble and martyred staudard-bearer ? 1 Do you not remember how we were de nounced for it, and had itiveotive and calum ny heaped upon us without stint.; how we were culled fanatics, and negro wor shippers, andaecusedof making war to free the negroes, and not to save tho Union ? In i Congress, on the .stump, through the press, our enemies endeavored to overwhelm us with the torrent of calumny. But, inspired by the same devotion to liberty and Union which inspired our fathers iu the Revolu tion, you persevered, uuawed, unchecked by the tempest of invective that raged ground you upon every side, at last you triumphed. You blotted out the stain from the national escutcheon, and ut last, you could stand up iu the great Republic and proclaim from the hundred harbors of Maine to that far distant Pacific State, whose foam is amber and whose sand is gold, throughout the entire domain of this vast BepuLlic, that there was not a single man who could stand up and call himself master, nor call another man his slave. This, fellow-ltepablicaus, was your work, and of this you should he proud, as one ot lhe noblest legacies you can transmit to your children. Ii; this great act of justice and liberty you have been honored by the world, and I sincerely believe approved by Almighty God. Where arc the men now who pointed the finger of scotu at you, and who filled their mouths with revilings at you, because you dared to strike at jilavery ? Not a tongue of these men dire to wag now; they are srleat «.« the totpl>,.cvyry one of them. You and I shall pass away, but what ere have xcevmpli-dted shiiltlivw in nit fatom history, and, Urigktcu under tlfo eyes of pos terity.' As,,age after aae rolls away, ybu'f children’s children will rise up to call you blessed, because, in the midst of civil war, you dared sVdke down this enrsed inatitu tion ot slavery because, despite the shin ders that ■ were heaped upon yORy you ban ished slavery forever from this fair BepoWie of ours, „ _ . ' . Do you wonder that, my heart throbs wjljl unutterable pleasure when I think ol thia, our glorious work? But we have null an other honor in eoimectfoft. With this work. We had a. noble President, I itthlnl t<r duty; faithful to tire country,' faithful to tltn Ci>rt stitutiou, an.l faithful against the rebellion. •Ydu well remember liow art the elements of party liitterness were let loose upon him-, 1 h*>w slander, and abuse, and calumny were Leaped upon him, ami finally how ho fell, pierced by the bullet of a rebel assassin. s 1 Noblest of the Presidents »ince the days of Washington, he was denounced ns no I’rosi ; ! dei.t ever has been resiled, and yet he re viled hotMT.ln,' but pursued his line,of duty unflinchingly to tl* c e Hspported by a f noble patriotism, his course was true and . faithful to the day be was numbered with * the dead. Dead, did I say? He is not . dead. His is one of the few of the iuimor ) tai uanats that were not Lorn to die. [L'ro -3 longed cheering.) He lives tO-day among ’he noble martyrs to liberty, justice and bu ] manlty, and in the recollection of the dark , , ’.rowed raee he lifted from <4av'ery to the ..ill stature ol manhood. It is with pride that wo look back now uprm the fact thui we . stood by him when the storm of war raged around him. Wo feel proud that we stood 3 firm in the cause of justice anti manhood against every wrong and oppression. To day we feel nrotjd that we have saved , a nation ami emancipated a race, and to-day I we follow our sUuidard-hearer —the hero of lhe country—U. S. Grant. Brave , in battle, generous in victory, reticent in . speech, yet firm ns the eternal granite in [ principle, and upon whose banner these , magic words are inscribed : “ Let us have t peace.” They are four words only, but a t volume is contained hi thoni. If there Is a , country in the world that wants peace it is [ this American Remiblic. We passed j through n, severe sPngglc for national exist [.eiicfe. No land ever was required to make such sacrifices as ours. Wc had to heap up , golden and living treasures upon out couu [ try’s altar; tho noblest and best went forth to prove their devotion to the flag of our ’ fathers. Now, in the language of our loader, ? let us have peace. We want no more taxes ; no more drafts : no more carnage and blood . shed and desolation. No; no. When we ] reflect that this rebellion is only to be re membered in broken hearts, numberless graves and enormous debt, we can all say that we want no more war, but we want ’ loyalty to be triumphant, and we want peace ’ through justice, liberty, nationality and ■ccurity to all. [Great applause.] Arc we [ going to have them [“Yes; when we elect I Grant and Colfax.’’) Yes; there is one , man who commanded peace, who struck ] down nn l drove those who waged war into ’ the, last ditch, and sent them home as pa ! roied prisoners of war. When he becomes I’reaWent, whenever treason dares to raise its head, he will strike it down. Every man j who dares to raise his hand against his ’ iellow-mau, will be met with the stern power of the Government. Grant will give pro [ tection to all, through the nation’s strength. This is what Grant intends to do, and what ’ lie beJieves’the duty of the Executive, as I ’ know from his own declarations. [Great ] applause. [ ] Those Ku-Klux outrages must cease. You ’ remember in 18G(>, eight years ago, there [ were threatenings in the South. They said t they were going to rebel; you did not be , lieve it then, but it was a stern reality. Do you know that they are better prepared to [’ day than they were them ? They didn’t then have this organized Ku-Klux Klan, the ex , isteuce of which has been denied; but no man , cun deny it now. No man now rises up to [ deny what Forrest has acknowledged, that this r is a powerful and armed organization, ready to do its work. Iu 1860, you know, men dared to stand tip in the South and denounce . secession and declare their devotion to ] the Union ; now no man can do so without being in danger of losing his life. j Speakers in the South teach people to [ ostracise those who speak in defence of the Union. This you know is the case now, and J that it was not eight years ago, before the [ rebellion was organized. These outrages arc encouraged by the men who then con s trolled these States, and thereby organized lhe Confederacy and. raised the armies of j the rebellion to crush the Union. There is only one party to-’lay that stands up against I this wicked, proscriptive and murderous sen timent in the South, ur.d that is the jriorious Republican party of the country. We have I said the power shall not be put back in the . hands of these men, the executive, legisla tive add judicial power .of these States, so , use as they used that sanje power Ciglvtyears ago, iu raising armies to destroy the nation. The Repabliean [larty is the only bulwark . against this state of things being repeated. ’ When you see, in the South, the newspapers, which express public opinion, speak of Union 1 men, who have lived there all their lives, as i scalawags, and when they speak of the t brave soldiers and ethers from the North ‘ who have gone down there and settled—as s they had u right to do—and call them car r pet-baggers ; aud when you have seen their , threats, in the form cf a wood-ent represent , ing a gallows on which to hang, after next I March, those they call carpet-baggers and , native Scalawags; when you see the attempt : to put these States back again under the . power and.control of the rebels, if you con sent to it, then I say you are not worthy of ' tho blood of the brave soldiers that died to destroy that power and to eutlfronfr loyalty iu its stead. | A voice, “'They will never "et it.”] No; never, while Gffd- reigns in _ Ileaveu. He sustained us and our. country io the darkest hours. He never saved our flag that it might be surrendered back into lhe hands of those who sought, though inef fectually, tu destroy it. He has prospered us as a nation as no other land was ever prosF" re <i. He has saved us from perils sa. h as encompassed no other nation lieiieath the circuit ot the sun. He gave victory to loyalty on the battlefield, und lie will give victory to loyalty at the bailot-box. ; It we ' deserve it, we shall have peace; we shall have protection to every Aißerican citizen, ; South and North, at home and abroad ; and with this, we'shall have progress and power, and the grandest march of any nation iu ancient or modern history. Wc shall recognize the immortal principles of the Declaration of Independence—the bap tismal vow <ri <wr fathers—wlieu tbis Repub j lie was born into ffrmllf of nations,'guar -1 antceiiig equality in life, liberty, property, and prot’Ction to all whom God created. To secure this Wc have only to plailt our selves on the eteenal rock of right, as we did when we arrayed ourselves against the wrong of slavery, lie. converted what was intended a« a crusade of slavery, into an onward msrch for liberty, and you heard, ringing till ovey the Republic, “Prntlaim liberty tbroughont the laud, to all tire iu habitants thereof.’' We shall triumph be cause we nre striking for the right. We shall triumph Ixicause we are inspired by the noblest principles that ever animated a party. We shall triumph, because we are faithful to the honored dead, over whose graves unrepentant traitors have dared to repeat their treason. They did nut give th ir heart's blood to relinquish these States into the hands of those who murdered ti»c;n dor their fidelity aud loyalty.

OLll WASHINGTON LETTER. i 7Ae National Democracy—Their Treachery to I the South— The Pendleton Letter—A Five —Ira- portw.ee. of th>. frieh-Aneriean Movement. — “Cott off Tone Lie nF’—T he Hell and the !■•>- comotno—A I ote—/’’reedmen'e Hereon— A’hhc ral of Per, Dr. Gurley, Washixutox, October.;. 18fi8. The Sd'ntheru Democracy, though ‘‘cheek . by jowl’’with the Northern Democracy of I to-day are constantly denouncing the Kcpub- ■ licau Congressional majority tor placing them, as they say, at the mercy of the | blacks. Does it. never occur to these fault r finders that to this state of things, if it be ■ true, they are indebted to the very party t which they are endeavoring to elevate to t power? One year ago last February, Mr. • Stevens’ military bill was under considera- > tiou in the House. This hili provided situ, ply tor a military government over the South, . leaving the people still without represeuta ! tion. The ultimate object was, is is well • known, to enfranchise all the negroes, and 1 disfranchise the whites concerned in the ’ rebellion. At this time, Mr. Blaine, of i Maine, proposed an amendment to admit r the Southern .States ou the adoption of the t Constitutional Amendment. On this ques ’ tion the Republicans were nearly equally 3 divided, and great efforts were made by Mr. . Blaine, Mr. Raymond, and others, to induce 3 the Democratic members to vote with the / moderate Republicans. This they refused t to do, and voted for Mr. Stevens’ bill, thereby > securing the passage of the law about which ] the Democracy of the South make so much j complaint, and, as a reward, were greeted t with shouts of approval from ihe Radical e side. Ought not the great minds of the { South to be satisfied, after the expc o rience of the last eight years, that the . Democratic party at the North is an irre a sponsible body—having no hold upon the B people, and Incapable of fulfilling a promise j to the South if they would, and would not if s they could. To have voted with the mod r crate Republicans at the time referred to, . the Democrats would have secured the adop tion of the amendment, and either secured t the passage of the bill in that form, or de [ seated it altogether. In either case they t would have gained the right of voting lor the Southern whites. The Southern people t should bear in mind that the leaders of the ; Democratic party North, in 1860, are the 1 leaders to-day, and past experience should . teach them not to rely upon promises made 0 by such men. They failed them once in the ~ hour of need, and will fail them in their , present emergency, even if by any accident Seymour and Blair should be elected. a Pendleton’s letter to a prominent Texan, 3 advising the people to vote for Presidential s electors, aua that the Democratic party r would see to it that the votes are counted, , turns out to be a forgery. Immediately upon 3 its appearance the Democratic leaders o adopted the hobby, and the party is fully t committed to the issue. But the forgery denouncement leaves the advocates of the 0 revolutionary project, indicated in the letter, 3 in a most ridiculous attitude. It is, how ] ever, but another evidence of the blind lead e ing the blind. 3 The Irish-American movement in favor . of Grant is increasing in volume daily, and j it is now believed will imiurally lessen the ,f Democratic Vote in the large cities where s there is a preponderance of the Celtic ele t meet, as is the case in New York and .. Brooklyn, and other citiss similarly situated. 8 One Irish organization in this city, hereto- B fore unanimously for Seymour, has been B broken up and more than half the members . have gone into a Grant club. One great , feature of the demonstration in Philadelphia s of the “ Boys in Blue” was the appearance , in the line of several thousand sons of the [ Grech Isle, all enthusiasic for the Republi can nominees. From the organization of the Democratic party, until to-day, this class , of our citizens have been led along blindly. 3 The old Whig party made strenuous but B unsuccessful efforts to break into their , severed ranks, but the name of “Whig” was s offensive to every Irishman. In this cam .. paigu, however, the tide begins to turn, and r it is to be hoped that in the future the Irish . citizen will vote ;ic -ording to the dictates of t his own ju-’g.-nenl rather than at the beck or j uod of any one man, or set of men. t “ Call off your lions,” is the cry of the 3 Northern Democracy to the South. Every Southerner who has attempted to enlighten i the Nok hern mind, aeemftte' have made a , mess of it. The last of their efforts was by , your Hon. B. 11. Hill, who andertouk to . defend the Gamilia massacre and other short , comings of the Ku-Klux Klan, through the , columns ot the Tribune. The result reminds j. one of the but of the bull with the locomo , tive. In a word, the New York Democrats . have thrown up the sponge, and drawn off ; their man, disgusted with the performance r es the last star in the political ring, and 5 Horace Greeley still wears the champion’s , belt. , The rising tide of Republicanism has . been no whore more quietly recognized > and admitted than right here in the politi l cal centre of the country. It has had the , I wonderful effect of tossing down the high ; strung individual now occupying the White I House ; he begins to go back on his record , of the last two years and talks piquently , as Andrew Johnson did in 1864 '65, and [■ were it not for memory, one might forget that he wus the same man who threatened to make treason odious. He went so far . to-day as to tell a leading Philadelphia politician that he could see no sense in re maining a Republican to give place to a Democrat. The disappointed fellow came right down to Willard’s, told the story, d—d Johnson, and got drunk while heaping i curses upon the Radical party. Briefly the official guillotine has been stopped, and .of the four or five hundred clerks whose heads were to have.been eut off on the Ist inst., only a baker's dozen took their places, and these for Causes other than political. It is a great relief to everybody, but particu larly to Secretary McCulloeh. When Frank Blair was on the train a few dsyj since, coming from Pittsburg to this CUy, a count was called lor, and a Democrat and a Republican passed through the train taking the votes of all for President. The result stood : For Grant and Oolfax, 269; I Seymour and Blair, 103. During the last ; month some wicked Republican has started < up tu aqiioy Blair on every train where he , has mode his appearance, by taking a vote 1 for President; and, al the particular occn- ! sion referred to, he was quite indignant be- J cause ladies wore allowed to vole. The whole expense ol the Freedmen’s ' Bureau up to tne presint time has been $7,935,256.88', of which amount $1,558,- 034 10 was receive' l from rent* of a ban- < doped lands'/Sales ... crops, otc n and the ‘ btkinee trim thd f?r>.ted States ’Wkasaty.
