HON. BEN. HILL.
In a recent letter to the editor of th*
New York Tiibune, by this gentleman, the
following paragraph occurs:
“Now is it courageous to oppress the South
only because you can'! But I warn you, the name
ilmwnmaut cannot administer force at the Snath
and freedom at the North. ihe time has come
when emphatically the country must bo ull free
or all slave.**
The italics are his. We agree fully with
Mr. Iln.L, and say that it is not courageous
for the General Government, or the people
of one section or faction, to oppress the
people of another section or faith only
because they can. But what has Deen the
conduct of those at the South whom Mr.
Hill so eloquently represents, in regard to
those, also of the South, who .differ with
them in political sentiment. Why are the
one so bitter toward the others, Do they
expect, or wish, to compel men as free as
themselves to abandon their life-long
principles and adopt others diametrically
opposite, in order that they may be re
garded as respectable and entitled to pro
tection of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness? Does Mr. Hill and his fol
lowers desire such freedom as this? Would
they compel the people of the South
white and colored—to pin their faith to
his sleeve, to think or pretend to think as
he dictates, and entertain no opinion not
in accord with his own !
Thank God I the time has passed for
this; and we tell Mr. Hill and all other
Democrats “emphatically” that every man
in this country will in future be protected
in all the rights and privileges pertaining
to freemen.
-♦♦*•
Sensible. Talk.—The colored man has
the suffrage in the Southern States. He.
can never be deprived of it without ruinous
political agitation, and probably bloodshed.
The people of the South, both white and
black, need peace. The interests of the
two races are identical. Each will have to
make concessions to the other.—Nas/ififfc
Hanner (Democratic).
When will the Democratic journals of
Georgia take a like considerate and sensible
view of this subject? Not yet awhile, we
fear. But they will come tu it eventually.

ir/io are fAe Friend* of the Ojtprcatcd—Brief \
Jlwittv of the anti-Slav cry Cuntruverny What
hntt been Accomplished —Connecticut Election ---
Republican Gain*—National Finance The
McClellan Demonstration.
Washington, October 7, 1868.
Conversing a few days since with a promi
nent Southern politician of the Democratic
school—he laid great stress upon the claim,
very general made and by far too generally
believed throughout the South, that the
former owners of the colored people were
their best friends. In proof of this be
referred to the promptitude with which the
legislatures of the different Southern States,
in 1865, acquiesced in the emancipation
proclamation, and further alleged that the
Northern people in carrying on the war
were not actuated by a desire to ameliorate
the condition of the enslaved race, the
freeing of them being only au incident of
the contest waged, and not one of the origi
nal objects iu view. It would be a sufficient
answer to all this to quote the charges made
by the Southern leaders before and during
the war against the Northern people; but as
there are many people who never did know,
others who have forgotten, the history of and
the anti-slavery movement in this country,
I propose to forbear placing Southern lead
ers on the stand as witnesses and give in
stead a brief resume of the greatest revolu
tion in ideas the world has witnessed since
the time of the Reformation, and then let
all judge who read, as to who is the best
frieud of the colored man. The early set
tles of New England having lied from op
pression themselves were the real founders
of the anti-slavery movement—indeed, of
oppression in all its varied forms. It was
their spirit that inspired the first resistance
to the mother country in 1774, which result
ed in the establishment of this republic.
The New England members of the Constitu
tional Convention were largely imbued with
this spirit They opposed the institution of
slavery then ns a matter of principle, ami
not with any view to its immediate extinc
tion (because impracticable at the lime) but
to so circumscribe it that it would in time
pass away without disturbing the pebce of
the country. They did, however, exclude the
word stare from the Constitution, and sub
stituted therefor “ persons held to service or
labor,” and limited the foreign slave traffic.
Slavery did die out, as was predetermined
by the sons of New England, in all the
Northern States; and the result would have
been the same in all the States but for the
discovery made by Mr. Calhoun, of South
Carolina, in 1830, that the institution could
be used as a political power, thereby en
abling a minority to rule a majority of the
people in this country, which was done? as
we well know, to our sorrow. The records
of Congress fully prove the pertinacity of
New England men in pressing this subject.
The first petition oo the subject of slavery
was sent into the House as early as Feb
ruary 11, 1790. The Northern members
very generally favored its reference to a
committee, while the Southern members
were equally united in their opposition to
considering the subject. On the following
day a memorial was sent in, signed by
Benjamin Franklin, representing- a society
“ for promoting the abolition of slavery, the
relief of the negroes unlawfully held in
bondage, and the improvement of the
African race.” After an exciting debate,
the memorial was committed by a vote of—
yeas 43, nays 11. Among those who voted
nay were Messrs. Baldwin, Jackson and
Matthews, of Georgia. By resolution the
petition was subsequently sent back to the
petitioners, without any action on the merits
of the case. This aronsed the anti-slavery
element, and from this time forth petitions
followed each other in rapid succession, but
all shared a similar fate. In 1831. John
Quincy Adams presented fifteen petitions
praying for the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia. These were referred,
after an exciting debate, it is true, but at an
early day the committee wits excused from
considering the subject.
In 1836, several petitions of the like im
port were laid before the Senate, when a
long debate ensued, resulting iu the recep
tion of the petitions. Mr. Swift, ol Ver
mont, presented other petitions, which were
received, and then all were rejected nt the
instance of the Into President Buchanan.
This had the effect to arouse the people
again—the right of petition they held to be
ns sacred, and one not to be ignored ; hence,
another flood of petitions. At this time,
under the leadership of Mr. Calhoun, the
following resolution was adopted by a vote
of 117 yeas ‘o 68 nays :
Resolved, That all petitions, memorials,
propositions or papers relating in any way,
or to any extent whatever, to the subject of
slavery, or the abolition of slavery, shall,
without being either printed Or referred, be
laid upon the table, and that no further
action whatever shall be had thereon.”
The Senate adopted a resolution of simi
lar import at about the same time—the
second session of the Twenty Fifth Con
gress.
The official records of each session of
Congress tears witness to the persistent
efforts of Northern, and especially New
England, men, to ameliorate the condition of
the colored population. In time, the anti
slavery element so increased that it became
practicable to attempt to accomplish some
thing by means of a political organization. In
1840, Jas. G. Birney was put. forward by this
party as a candidate for the Presidency, but
he received only 7,000 votes, all cast in the
Northern States. This was the first attempt
at a national organization, though in the
different States of New England the anti
slavery issue bad long been made in local
politics. Mr. Birney was renominated for
President in 1844, when he received 62,140
votes—showing that the party was growing.
In 1848, Martin Van Buren, as the candi
date of the party received 296,232 votes -
the party still growing, it will be seen. In
1852 John P, Hale was renominated, and
received only 157,296 votes. This was the
Pierce and Scott campaign, and the latter
was partially committed to the anti-slavery
cause. In 1856 the whole anti-slavery ele
ment united upon John C. Fremont, when
he polled 1,341,812 votes I and in 1860, Mr.
Lincoln received 1,866,452 votes, and was
elected—all the States voting; and in 1864,
in which election the Southern people did
not participate, he received 2,223,035 votes,
and was reflected. Grant and Colfax rep
resent this same party to-day, and they will
□undoubtedly poll a much larger vote than
Mr. Lincoln in [B6l.
We have thus seen the principles advo
cated by a few men located in a little corner
of the country overspread the whole country.
New England was first absorbed, then the
great Northwest, the child of New England.
The States of the Pacific slope Cell next into
line, and in 1860 all of the Middle States,
New Jersey alone standing out in the cold
in 1864. To-day these same New England
ideas are sweeping over the South, pressed
on by the sons of New England and their
followers, and the work of regeneration can
only be completed at once by the triumphant
election of Grant and Colfax.
It will thus be seen that the entire anti
slavery men of the North, from the smallest
beginning, pressed their anti-slavery ideas
upon the country until they had with them a
majority of the people. The South, no
longer able to shape the policy of the gov
ernment and protect the institution of sla
very by enlarging its boundaries ami in
creasing its power in the capital, flew to arms,
with what result we all know. Slavery was
doomed, war or no war; public sentiment,
and the sentiment of the world, as well as
national policy, was against it, and without
war ultimate extinction was a foregone con
clusion. The war merely hastened the end.
If the ex-slaveholders can claim any credit
for this, they are welcome to make the most
of it. But no one ought to be deceived by
their pretensions.
The town elections in Connecticut,all hough
of small importance as affecting the Presi
dential campaign, show a Republican gain
sufficient to insure the State for Grant in
November. Next Tuesday will determine
something as to the majority Grant and
Collax will receive in November.
The monthly statement of the Secretary
of the Treasury fell like a wet blanket upon
the Democratic financial philosophers. They
have been predicting an increase of millions
to the public debt, but Mr. McCulloch is
their own witness, and they cannot go back
upon bis Statement, which is that there is a
nett decrease iu the public debt, daring the
last month, of $970,594.08, and this is after
deducting the bonds issued to the Pacific
Railroad Company, which is only a loan, to
be repaid.
The demonstration in favor ofaHcCleilan,
in New York, was au immense affair. In a
city numbering two and one-half millions of
people (including suburban cities and
towns), more than one half foreign and one
half of the remaining half made up of rebels
and copperheads, it is a very easy matter to
get up a large demonstration in favor of the
General, who was afraid of hurting the
rebels during the war. But after all, the
leading Democrats do not like McClellan’s
letter—it reads very much as his letter did
accepting the nomination in 1864: “Gen
tlemen,” he, in effect, wrote to the party
then, “ I despise your platform, but would
like to be President, so 1 accept your nomi
nation.” Now, he likes Democracy, but is
silent as to the principles of the Democratic
party to-day. Indeed, it is known that he
has no sympathy in common with the plat
form.
The President has almost retired from
public gaze, awaiting the State elections
next week- If those should be favorable to
the Democracy, he will come out of bis hole
again. Cai’itol.

“ Fire the Southern heart.” That is what

A report comes from Baltimore that
Revordy Johnson has followed the example
of General Dix, and declared for Grant and
Colfax.
Why is the Democratic party to-day like a
dentist? Because they look a good deal
down in the mouth.
The Philadelphia Press teams that Gen.
Thomas Egan, known as one of President
Johnson's most intimate friends, has de
clared for General Grant.
Will you have Grant, Colfax, and PEACE;
or Seymour, Blair and WAR ? is the ques
tion now before the people.
When Seymour next asks the question,
“Where are the victories they promised us?”
let him be answered, “At Camilla, Georgia.”
There is the place where the Democracy
have achieved their most notable triumph
since the New York riots.— Chicago Tri

General Burnside gives the following as
the reason why every truly loyal man should
vote against Seymour : “I shall vote against
Mr. Seymour because I think he was an
enemy to his country when it was in
trouble.”
Dr. R. Z. Mason, of Appleton, Wis., who
was a prominent candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Congress in the Fifth
District of that State, addressed the people
of Appleton, last week, in favor of Grant
and Colfax.
Said Henry Stanbery in the Presidential
campaign of 1864: “When you come to
vote, ask what candidate Jefferson Davis
mid the rebels would wish elected, and vote
against that man.” This is certainly a
sound doctrine now, although Stanbery has
forgotten it.
The Lansing (Mich.) Republican says:
“We have the most cheering news from
every portion of the State. The work goes
bravely on. We predict 30,000 majority for
Grant. The masses are alive to real issues
of the day. Grant and Colfax and Tanner’s
Clubs have been formed in the cities and
large villages, and are getting into good
working order.
General Frank P. Blair was on the train
from the Suspension Bridge, on Wednesday
last, and before the’ cars reached Rochester
a canvass of the passengers was made, and
resulted as follows : For Grant and Colfax
—gentlemen, 89 ; ladies, 61. For Seymour
and Blair—gentlemen, 47; ladies, 21. Blair
voted for Seymour and himself, and jocosely
asked permission to be recorded twice.

YOUNG MEN.
Patriotic young men, who will in Novem
ber east their first vote, are asked before
uniting their destinies with the Democratic
party, to bear in mind—
1. That every attempt ever made to de
stroy our noble Government was brought
about by leaders of the Democratic party;
ami those attempts are declared by every
member of that party in “good standing”
to-day to have been purely Democratic.
2. That their object is to destroy our
country, and render the name “America” a
disgrace at home and abroad, not only by
internecine strife, but by a repudiation of
the national debt brought about by their
course, and which we are in honor and duty
bound to pay.
Can any young man, after ascertaining
the facts set forth in these paragraphs,
which he can do even from Democratic re
cords—consistently and honorably connect
himself with the Democratic party? We
cannot believe that such young men exist
in our enlightened country to-day.—Spring

THE EPISCOPAL TRIENNIAL
CON VENTION.
01-KXIXG SERVICES AT TRINITY CHURCH TO-DAY.
New York, October 7.
Imposing devotional exercises were held
at Trinity Church this morning by the mem
bers at the Triennial Convention of the Epis
copal Church. The spacious auditorium was
crowded nt an early hour, and hundreds of
persons were unable to gain admission. Dr.
Messender, organist, performed n voluntary,
and at ten o’clock the House ol Bishops en
tered the chancel from the south door, the
congregation rising to receive them.
The regular morning service was then
held, an excellent choir of forty clergymen
singing the hymns with extraordinary power
and beauty.
The' Rev, Dr. H. C. Potter, of Grace
Church, read the morning prayers ; Rev. Dr.
Canon Balch, of Montreal, read the first
lesson ; and the Rev. W. F. Perry, of Litch
field, Conn., read the second lesson.
The Te. Deum laudamtis was excellently
rendered by the choir and audience.
The Rev. Dr. Howe, of Philadelphia, read
the Litany.
The ante-communion service was then
celebrated, Bishop Eastman, of Massachu
setts, Bishop Adkinson, of North Carolina,
and Bishop Johns, of Virginia, taking part
in the services.
Bishop Alfred Lee of Delaware, then
ascended the pulpit preached an able
sermon, taking for his text the seventh
verse of the second chapter of revelation:
“ He that hath an ear let him hear what the
spirit saith to the churches." The discourse
was an able argument in favor of simplicity
in worship. He said that if the Episcopal
Church is not a Protestant Church, it has no
business to be a church at all.
In referring to the Ritualists he said that
if they wished to follow the sacerdotal service
they knew where to find it in ripe perfection.
In conclusion, he said it was a subject for
rejoicing that every Diocese was represented
in the Convention.
The Communion Service was then per
formed, Bishop Smith, of Kentucky, officiat
ing.

A Pouts Savage.—A Salt Lake paper
-ays that RcJ Cloud completed thoroughly
the destruction of Foit C. F. Smith after its
abandonment by the military. Further, that
a train of thirty wagons, belonging to Messrs.
McKensie and Resiiaw, was on the Big
Horn and three hundred of his braves
crossed over, and the chief, being acquainted
with one in the train, told them he would
not take their scalps, but he proposed to
make a grand inspection of the train, and
help himselt to anything which he might
fancy. To this no objection was made, and
lie helped himself freely, but his band de
manded one scalp at least before they left,
which he refused to let them take. He left,
t iling those with the train that they
might expect to have a tight between the
Big II irn and Yellowstone, with a party of
SioOx who would meet them there. Fighting
hod occurred between the Crows and Sioux
the same night, and between the whites and
Sioux subsequently -several Indians being
killed and one white man severely wounded.

General Orders, No. 27.
“Whereas, by an act of Congress of tho United
States, approved March 2, 1865, it is made the
duty of tho military authority to preserve the
peace at the polls at any election which may ho
held in any of the States ; and, whereas, this
duty hvs become the more imperative, from the
existing political excitement in tho public mind,
from the recent organization of civil govern
ment, and from tho fact that Congress has, by
statute, prohibited the organization of military
forces in the several States of this Department,
it is therefore ordered,
“That tho several District commanders will,
as soon as practicable, on tho receipt of this
order, distribute the troops under their commands
as follows :
•» » » • s
In tho District of Georgia :
Ono company 16th Infantry, to Albany.
One company 16th Infantry, I > Columbus.
Ono company 16th Infantry, to Macon.
One company 16th Infantry, to Augusta
One company 16t.1i Infantry, to Washington,
Wilkes county.
Ono company 16th Infantry, tu Americus.
One company (C), sth Cavalry, to Athens.
The company at Savannah to be reiiilorced,
should occasion require, by such men it Feri
Pulaski as can ho spared from tho post.
» » " » »
“ Detachments, when necessary, may be made
to points in the vicinity of each post; but in no
case, nor on any pretext whatever, will detach
ments be sent without commissioned officer, who
will be fully instructed by his post com
mander. .
“ The troops will be considered as in tho field
and supplied with tho necessary camp equipage
the men to be furnished with common tents if
practicable, and if not practicable, wiih shelter
tents. Commanding officers arc permitted to
hire quarters, temporarily, when it can be done
for reasonable rates ; but this will not preclude
the necessity of carrying tents, as the commands,
in all cases, must be in readiness to move at the
• shortest notice, with all supplies required for
their efficiency.
“District Commanders wi'l instruct Post Com
manders in their duties, and the relative position
of the civil and military powers. They will
impress on Post Commanders that they are to
act in aid and co operation, and in subordination
to tho civil authorities; that they aro to exorcise
discretion and judgment, unbiased by political
or other prejudices; that their object should be
exclusively to preserve the peace and unholdlaw
and order, and they must be satisfied such is the
object ofthe civil officer calling on them for aid;
that they must in all cases, whore time will
permit, apply for instruction to superior au
thority, but they must at all hazards preserve
the peace, and not bo restrained b.V technical
points, when, in their conscientious judgment,
under tho rules above sot forth, it is their duty
to act. Post Commanders on being notified ot
the proposed bolding of political meetings, may
send an officer, and it necessary a detach
ment, to watch Iho proceedings and coo that the
peace is preserved.
“To the people of the several States compos
ing the Department, tho Major General Com
manding appeals that they will co-operate with
him and the civil authorities in sustaining In"
and order, in preserving tho peace, and in avoid
ing those scenes of riot and bloodshed, and the
wanton destruction of property and life which
has already, in some instances, been enacted in
this Department. Ho urecs abstinence from W‘
inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the
passions f discountenancing the keeping open o
liquor shops on days of political meetings and o
election; tho abstaining from carrying arms,
and asserting tho individual right of construing
laws by force of arms. No just cause is ever a
-by resort to violence. Le' tl icrc ,e
charity and forbearance among political oppo
nents, whatever may bo the result. Bet eaj i
good citizen determine that all who, under tie
I aw, have the right to tho ballot shall exercise >
undisturbed. If there are disputed points o
law, let them be referred to tho Courts, and
«ot mobs or political clubs, or other irresponsi
ble bodies, construe and undertake
execute tho law. This appeal is made in
earnest hope that the Major General Com man •
ing can rely on the good sense and correi
judgment of the mass of the people, and tha
will not be compelled to resort to the exercise
tbc power with which he is entrusted, andw u
he will most reluctantly employ. But bo t,u “ ‘
it his duty to make known, that so far as
power under his command will admit, 2° t he
not permit tho peace to be broken, au 4 ~
will not be restrained in the conscientious -
charge of bis duty by technicalities oflaws m 1
when the present anomalous condition ot a
were neither anticipated or provided for.
