The election of Grant, will “make treason
odious ;” but how would it be in ease of the
election of Seymour?
The Knoxville Press (Seymour and Blair
paper) announces that the Camilla massacre
is “but a presage o( the fate that awaits the
colored race.”
Blair said: “ Unless the Democracy
carry Pennsylvania by a large majority,
there is no possible hope of success.” lie
gives it up.
Ol all the living patriotic men, Grant has
promised least and performed most. Such a
man is bound to possess the. hunts aiid affec
tions of the people.
Blessings never come singly, as Mr. Col
fax will discover in November, when he is
to become Vice President elect and a hus
band.
Senators Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, and
Hendricks, of Ohio, are elected to give up
their places in the United States Senate to
Union men. The Democracy can ill afford
to lose them.
For seven years the Democratic prophets
have predicted nothing but disaster and
ruin, and nont: of their predictions have
proved true. We advise them to prophesy
good for a spell, and sec if it will not give
them a better name as prophets.
Blair, in bis Columbus (Ohio) speech,
last week, affirmed that Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Indiana, would all three give
Democratic majorities. He bad traveled
through these States, and knew what he
was talking about! This i* not Blair’s
only blunder.
Our Democratic triehds at Weldon bought
up all the powder in the place on Tuesday,
and bad their cannon already loaded, and
only waited for the news from Pennsylvania,
to apply the match. When the news arrived,
t/.sy didn't fire the gun.
West Virginia is now the only Slate that
will hold an election previous to November
3d. That Slate will choose on the 22d of
October. Governor Boreman (Republican)
was elected two years ago by 6,664 majority.
The canvass is quiet, but intense.
It is a remarkable illustration of time’s re
venges, the Salem Mercury says, that the
present John Quincy Adams has gone on a
Democratic electioneering lour to South
Carolina, where his grandfather wou’d pro
bably have been hanged, without judge or
jury, by the same Democracy.
" This is terrible,” said Horatio, when I
nominated; "This is tertjble,” said he,
when V erinont voted ; “ This is terrible,”
he groaned, in response to Maine; "This
* s terrible,” to Connecticut; “ This is tkk-
K Hiui.ii,” he whispered, with white lips, as
■F he cowered beneath the thunder tones of
F Tuesday’s quartette.
'lho Oswego Commercial says; "But
one Dcmocrai was seen on the streets yes
terday morning, and he was deaf. We
understand he claimed Pennsylvania by
5,000 majority. * Where ignorance is bliss,
its folly,’ etc. The few seen in this city
were anxiously looking over their bank ac
counts.
The Democratic party is just now living
on paradoxes. They “gained” in Vermont,
mid yet lost it. They “gained” in Maine,
and yet the Republicans carried it by
20 000. they “gained” in Connecticut, and
yet their last spring's majority of 1,700 is
, turned into a Republican majority oi 2,500.
They “gain in Pennsylvania and loose a
United States Senator, and so on.
We agree with the World that the Demo
crats would act wisely, even at this late day,
in adopting other candidates instead of Sey
mour and Blair ; and we think a different
platform is also desirable. We suggest to
tb< m Grant and Colfax as splendid names,
and the Chicago platform as a very fail
declaration of principles. To succeed by
such a change as this would be better than
to fail by sticking to the dead carcass.—.V.

The National Republican party of the United States,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the 20th day of May, 1868, make the following
Declaration of Principles : •
Ist. We congratulate the country on tbc assured suc
cewt of the reconstruction policy of Congress, as
evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the States
lately in rebellion, of Constitutions securing equal civil
and political rights to all, and regard it as the duty of
the Governipent to sustain those institutions, and to
prevent the people of such States from being remitted
to a state of anarchy.
2d. The guarantee, by Congress, of equal suffrage to
all loyal men in the South was demanded by every con
sideration of public .safety, of gratitude and of Justice,
and must be maintained, while the question of suffrage
In all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of
those States.
3d. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a na
tional crime, and the national honor requires tbc pay
ment of the public indebtedness, tn the utmost good
faith, to all creditors, at home and abroad, not only
according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws
under which it was contracted.
4th. Itdsdue to the labor of the nation that taxation
should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the na
tionalfaith will permit.
sth. The national debt, contracted, as it has been, for
the preservation of the Union for all time to come,
should be extended over a fair period for redemption,
and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in
terest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done.
6th. That the best policy to diminish our burden of
debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek
to loan ns money at lower rates of interest than we now
pay, and must continue to pay, so long as repudiation,
partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or sus
pected.
7th. The Government of the United States should he
administered with the strictest economy, and the cor
ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for r adical re
form.
Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic
death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of
Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted
treacherously to the people who elected him and the
cause he was pledged to support; has usurped high
legislative and judicial functions; has refused to exe
cute the laws; has used his high office to induce other
officers to ignore and violate the laws; has employed
his executive powers to render insecure the property,
peace,liberty and life of the citizen; has abused the
pardoning power; has denounced the National l-egisla
inreas unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly
resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper
attempt at the reconstruction of the Slates lately in re
bellion; has perverted the public patronage into an
engine of wholesale corruption; and has been justly
impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and
properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of
thirty-five Senators.
9th. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European
powers, that because a man in once a subject, he js
always ho, must bo resisted at every hazard by the
United States, as a relic of the feudal time, not author
ized by the law of nations, and at war with our national
honor and independence. Naturalized citizens are enti
tled to be protected in all their rights of citizenship as
though they were natural born, and no citizen of the
United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to
arrest and imprisonment, by any foreign power, for acts
dotiQ, or words spoken, in this country, and if so arrested
and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to
interfere in bis behalf.
10th. Os all who were faithful in the trials of the late
war, there were none entitled to more especial honor
than the brave soldi era and seamen, who endured the
hardships of the campaign and cruise, and imperilled
their lives in the service of the country. The bounties
and pensions provided by law for these’ brave defenders
of the nation are obliagtions never to be forgotten. Tbe
widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of
the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation’s
protecting care.
11th. Foreign immigration, which in the past has
added so much to the wealth, development of resources,
and increase of power of this nation, the asylum of the
oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encour
aged by a liberal and just policy.
12th. This Convention declares its sympathy with nil
the oppressed people which are struggling for their
A Specimen Man of Honor.-—The last
LaGrange Reporter has a fresh mess ol its
old scandal against Chief Justice Brown, in
which it publishes a letter from Martin, the
pretended injured husband. Boil Martin's

tice had ruined his domestic happiness ; that
his wife had been dead for three years ; aud
that he is now ready for the. Chief Justice to

ting your charges to be true?
Heard From.— We were fearful that the
recherche Business Manager of the Demo
cratic organ in this city had finally disap

yesterday morning, on reading a letter
from him dating at the Hot Springs,
Arkansas where, his letter indicates, he is
a patient. Ho says of the Springs : “ They
have great reputation (or reinvigorating the
system, relieving all mercurial diseases,
syphylis, skin diseases, rheumatism, and
paralysis.” Which disease does he suffer
from?

life. In less than a year you will be trying
to elbow us off from the. support of Grant-

SiGsifiCANT. -Hon. Chas. J. Jenkins has
not made a speech during the canvass lor
Seymovr and Blair.
WORK! WORK! WORK!
Less than two weeks of working days
remain for the Republicans of this State
to complete their organization, and be pre
pared to meet the enemy at the polls. The
violence that has been threatened and the
violence that has been perpetrated through
out tlie State, it cannot be denied, has
injured the prospects of General Grant
in this State very materially. That is
what the Democracy intended. It was
their purpose to frighten and drive from
the polls a sufficient number of Republi
cans, to give SuvAiovßand Blair the elec
toral vote of the State. But, now, there
is a panic among the Democrats them,
selves. Their crushing defeat at the North,
the general dissatisfaction with their
candidates, has paralyzed their strong
right arms, and wc indulge some slight
hopes that the more discreet Democratic
citizens will persuade the boys not to dis
turb any voter, no matter who he may
support. This is the advice of more than
one of the multitude of Cabiness’ Ad
dresses. At any rate, every Republican
must make the attempt to vote, and if he
is forcibly deterred from so doing, the
evidence must be preserved, as, in such an
event, the entire election proceedings would
be a subject of investigation. »
The fact that there is to be no election
for Congress, we are inclined to think, will
cause things to be more peaceable than
they otherwise would have been. For the
honor of Georgia we hope no blood will be
shed on the election day. Both parties
know that Georgia cannot decide the result
one way or the other, .and we earnestly
plead that the wiser heads among the De
mocrats will put the brakes on the young,
zealous and blood thirsty. The Democratic
party will be held to a terrible accounta
bility if there shall be riots aud massacres
in this State on the 3d of November.
Republicans, there is no time to be lost.
You must work day and night. Speeches
may not answer as well as good honest up
and up talk. Get out a full vote, and we
can have a free one. Georgia is certain
for Grant and Colfax.
RADIO AL DEMOCRACY.
The last number of the Macon Journal
and Messenger contains a brilliantly writ
ten and soul-stirring appeal, by its editor,
to his Democratic friends to rally against
Radicalism. lie says that Georgia ‘’must
bury it here, no matter how it lives and
flourishes elsewhere. It is our duty. It is
our safety. It should be ourpride and our
pleasure to be able to accomplish it. Let
Georgia declare against Radicalism by 20,-
000 majority, and we may laugh at Grant’s
election. Such a voice will warn oil all
trespassers. It will give warning to car
pet baggers and scalawags that they must
seek other pastures. It will thunder into
the ears of the negroes that they can not
rule here, and that their duty, no less than
their interest, lies in following where the
white men of the soil shall lead. Wc will
in that event need no decision of the Su
preme Court, nor any other Federal action
to rid ourselves of the bastard State govern
ment. Wc will let it live out its appointed
time and then legitimatize it by taking
possession of it. We will turn what was
intended as a crown of thorns, into a dia
dem of triumph, and what was meant as a
device for our destruction into a sign of
our strength and sagacity.”
Now. it is difficult to understand whether
our eloquent cotemporary wishes to up
root and utterly destroy Radical Democracy
or Radical Republicanism. If the former,
we have no objections to urge ; because
wc believe they are, in very truth, the only
Radicals at the South. But if he means to
demolish the Republican hosts—drive from
their native or adopted soil all who will
not follow his dictation and lead—we tell
him plainly that it can not be done !
Wc earnestly deprecate strife ; will make
any reasonable sacrifices for the sake of
harmony' and peace ; but rather than yield
our opinions or personal and political rights
at the bidding, and to gratify, men no bet
ter than ourselves, we will welcome strife
in all its direst form 1
From the Fredericksburg (Va.) News, Democrat.
A WAIL OF WOE.
The worst kind of news, aud a heap of it.
comes to us this morning. Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska all gone Radi
cal. The Northern people hud not sense
enough to save the country, and the stupid
gabble for the last hundred years about
man’s capacity for self government is nil
found to be the worst -kind of a lie.* We
agree with Fernando Wood, that the fall of
man and the lauding of the Pilgrims are the
two most unfortunate occurrences in the
world’s history. Yankees, negroes and
knaves will have a gay time of it for the next
four years. The Freedmen’s Bureau will
be continued, and its officers escape hanging.
Those horrid political Methodists in Boston
are singing “Praise God from whom all
blessings flow,” on account of the elections
“in favor of peace and righteousness,” and
hollowing “Hallelujah” until they are hoarse.
Then President Johnson, likp a blockhead,
believing the first dispatches about the
Democrats carrying all the States, issues his
proclamation for a general Thanksgiving.
The news is so bad that it is really laugh
■Side. “Human hopes have oft deceived
me,” is an appropriate hymn, and “Whom
the Lord loveth He ehasteneth,” is a con
soling reflection. People who never were
worth a cent are the most depressed, and
fear they will become bankrupt if the stay
law is not extended. Just as the grog shop
loafers used to be so uneasy lest their wealthy
neighbors would do something to impair the
value and security of slave property in the
Territories.
Providence has determined to upset this
so-called free government, and as political
journals will be probably suppressed or
useless, we are in doubt whether to make
the News a religious or an agricultural
paper.
One ray of comfort shines through the
gloom. All the best people south nt its. who
can get away, will come to Virginia, ami
many of the best people of the North will be
disgusted with their mob rule and take
refugd and residence amid our higher civili
zation, where poverty is fashionable and
respectable, and practiced by the first fami
lies and most distinguished citizens.
P. S.—As there seems to be such a poor
chance for things generally in this world,
>t is high time our readers were making
preparations for the next. And, as we have
said before, the first step is to pay up all
you owe this office, and indeed one year’s
subscription in advance would show au im- i 1
proved sense of duty and a more healthv I
conscience. ' I ,
From the St. Louis Democrat.
MAKE IT UNANIMOUS!
Now, Democratic fellow-citizens, you have
no longer an excuse for doubling the result
of the Presidential contest. We have not
doubted it at al), for we knew that the people
had seen enough of war, enough of “tramp
ling into the dust" the laws, enough of
wrangling about these vexed questions which
have troubled the land so long, that they
would have peace. But you still wanted to
Contend. You hoped to beat Grant, and
you had a right to try. You hoped to crush
Radicalism, and you had a right to cast your
votes and use your influence against it.
You counted upon an imaginary reaction,
and upon a prejudice against the negro,
which vanishes whenever you force it into
clear discussion. You have fought the battle
stoutly, and have even been aided by great
frauds by some of your part'zans. And yet
you are beaten. Not a man of you, as he
reads the returns from the. great Central
States, without which it was never possible
to elect Seymour, does not know that Grant
will be elected, with a Republican Congress
to support him. New York will follow Penn
sylvania. Indiana was the weakest State in
all the Northwest. You struck at the weak
est spots in all our line, and are hurled
back, broken, disheartened. You know that
you have no chance Io recover in the twenty
days that remain. Your own organs have
frankly admittel that defeat in the three
great States would en I all hope. If the
greenback cry is powerless in Ohio, if the
negro suffrage cry is powerless in Indiana, if
tricks and frauds are powerless in Pennsyl
vania, the game is over. Grant will be the
next President.
Now do a sensible thing, for once!
Throw away no more money, waste no
more time and hot blood, and fruitless
effort, in a cause hopelessly beaten. Three
weeks of noisy and turbulent struggling
will do no good; you must yield at last!
We afe not going to give you any pretext
for resistance ; no Southern votes will be
needed to make Grant’s majority. The end
being inevitable, what is the use of making
a fess about it ?
Join with us, and let us make Grant
President by consent of the whole people !
Yield gracefully, since you must yield. Do
not keep up a vain resistance, which will
only send Republicans to Congress with all
their blood heated, to meet questions in a
partizan spirit- We want calm and wise
legislation as well as you. Nothing tends
so much to prevent it as the fierce excite
ment of the closing weeks of a Presidential
election. We want peace, and so do you.
We have differed as to the method by which
peace can be reached, and the people have
practically decided. No power on earth
can now reverse the decision. Shall we not
have peace now, instead of three weeks
lienee ? Shall we not begin at once to cul
tivate good feeling And amity, to enable the
viators to be moderate in the use of power,
olget rid of the bad blood of a hot fight,
aid to approach that era of good feeling
fjr which all sensible men long and hope ?
Once before, when a long struggle had
been decided, there came such an era of
good feeling, and all parties joined in
accepting the result and welcoming the new
administration. Let us to-day throw aside
the blunted weapons of party strife, cease
the sharp thrusts of heated contest, meet
on common ground as sensible citizens
who abide by the will of the people, and
join together— the whole American nation
—to elect as our next President the soldier
who led our armies aud sustained our
nationality !
We move that the election of General
Ulysses 8. Grant be made unanimously by
acclamation.

OCR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Th'! Wails of the Rebel Democracy —A Change of
Front Proposed and Opposed—Grant's Flection
Conceded—Egyptian Collar and Steam Ploughs
—Adjournment of Congress.
Washington, October 17, 1868.
Relieved of all suspense regarding the
Presidential campaign by the elections held
on Tuesday last, and having no further mo
tive to misrepresent or malign Republicans
individually, or the principles of the party
the Rebel Democracy have commenced a
Kilkenny cat quarrel among themselves,
and are engaged in mutual recriminations,
which will doubtless result in scattering
what remains of the party to the four winds
t of heaven.
I The World and its followers, who, at the
eleventh hour, sold out Mr. Chase, platform
aud all, now calls loudly for the withdrawal
, of Bhur, and would rather have both Scy
mour and Blair withdraw than that both
I should continue in the field. The World
to believe that Blair, with his
Broadbead letter, is the mill-stone ; while
, another wing is equally sure that it is Sey
mour ai.d bis anti-war record. Another
large class, the special friends of Chase,
Hancock aud Hendricks, stand in the back
ground and say-to all, “See, 1 told you how
it would be.”
Every intelligent Democrat soon after the
nominees were placed in the field saw that
a great mistake had been imide, not only
in the platform but also in the candidates
placed upon it. and sevesal weeks ago a
consultation w hud in New' York to devise
means to remedy the mistake. That parlies
to this consultation met Frank. P Blair by I
appointment, at the old man Blair’s Silver
Spring residence, six miles north of Wash
ington, and were in continuous consultation
twenty-four hours. During all this time
they only agreed to disagree, and separated
in no very pleasant mood, resolved to make
a desperated effort to succeed in the October
elections; and if so, then they could bet-
ter tell what t > do. At the interview refer
red to the old man Blair told the committee
that the weak point in their tiefket was in
the fact that that the tail should have been
the head and that would have guaranteed
success. No one outside thb Blair family
sees the affair in this light. Seymour,
weeks ago. placed himself at the disposal of
“his friends” and has all the time been
willing, it is alleged? to withdraw if it should
bo deemed advisable. That time has now
arrived but it is too late in the campaign to
make any change.
Hancock his been approached, and posi
tively refuses to accept the nomination.—
He was promised the-empty honoronce and
now feels sore about it; moreover, he is
neither a rebel or copperhead and therefore
docs not approve the platform, Chase has
been sounded, and would accept the
nomination upon his own platform, as agreed
upon on the 3d day of July last, but under
no other circumstances. As the platform
can not be changed without calling the Con
vention together again, and it being too late
in the campaign for that, the only alterna
tive is to keep Seymour and Biair in the
field, or find some one deemed more availa
ble, who ean stand side by side with Wade
Hampton. Any change, however, now
would cause dissatisfaction, create confu
sion, and raise a more bitter contention than
exists now, without anv prospect of the
party being benefitted. Praetic i’B , the
World and National Intelligencer have
thrown the’ candidates aside, and are run
ning the Democratic machine without a
bead. The latter paper ouiv yesterday
pulled down from the head of its column.-,
the honored (?) names el Seymour and Blair.
The \\ ashington Krening Krxpets alone
goes the whole figure, proposing to die like
the chivalry—in the last ditch. The only
hope for the people ot the South is now to
join in with the dominant party, and accept,
cordially and frankly, the situation. Such a
course will disarm any ‘‘malice" which
may have been engendered, and conld
only result in a positive.
The assured election of Grant will turn
capital, brains and muscle southward, and
the waste places, before another year rolls
around, will blossom as the roses.
Here, every one accepts the election of
Grant and Colfax as a foregone conclusion,
and each and all are putting their houses
in order accordingly.
One Democratic organization has already
been dissolved, and others, still keeping
up the semblance of activity, will doubtless
follow suit at an early day. They will be
forced to this course for the want of active
members.
Much has been said of late as to what
effect the Egyptian cotton crop will have
upon the European market. There is no
correct data at present from which to judge
of the present year's crop ; but this much
is certain: Os all the countries where,
during the late war, cotton-growing was
encouraged, Egypt was the most success
ful. In all branches of agriculture, the
present Pacha of Egypt is fully up to the
spirit of the age ; and, as an evidence of
this, it may be said that he has had at work
the present season two hundred of the
English steam ploughs. Two of these
ploughs have been successfully used on the
tough soil below New Orleans (on the
Magnolia Plantation), and scientific and
practical agriculturists believe that the
area of cultivated land could bo doubled in
this country by the use of these ploughs,
without any increase in expenses.
The Vice-President and Speaker ol the
House, no quorum being present, went
through the formality of adjourning Con
gress until the 10th of November. Not a
dozen persons were present in either House.
The Republicans of this section have been
anxiously looking for the holding of a Repub
lican meeting at Camilla, Georgia. The
moral effect of such a meeting must result
in good, and, moreover, it seems a pity to
yield the spot without a struggle. •
The Heads of Departments have nearly
completed their annual reports for the in
spection of the President, and I am assured
the appropriations asked for arc much less
in amount than was appropriated the last
year, notwithstanding the Copperhead cry to

HON. B. H. HILL—HIS FORMER
OPINIONS.
New York, October 13, 1808.
To the Editor of the N. 1”. limes:
I am surprised to observe the indigna
tion with which Mr. Benj. 11. Hill and his
friends reject the title of a conquered
people, when I recall the readiness with
which they applied that term to themselves
immediately after the war. In the Fall of
18G5, I visited the State of Georgia, where 1
had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hill and
other representative men of the South. I
had frequent conversations with them on
political affairs, in which my ears were
constantly saluted with the remark: “We
are a conquered people, sir; yes, sir, a
conquered people.” Indeed, the remark was
so constantly repeated as to become some
what tiresome. It never occurred to me
then, any more than it did to Mr. Hill, to
suppose that the people of the South did not
regard themselves a conquered people.
Whatever legal impropriety there may be in
the term when subjected to constitutional
tests, Mr. Hill can hardly object to it with
good grace, as it originated with his friends.
I am curious to know when Mr. Hill
reached the conclusion that, “ ’Twas North
ern promises, not Northern power, which
overpowered the South, and ‘ brought back
refraetory States.’ ” lam sure he did not
think so three years ago. W. C. C.
