OP NEW YORK.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT:

OP MISSOURI.
The Speaking Satnrdrj Mght.
According to previous notloo Col. J.
A. W. Johnson nddrossed n largo as-
soinblago of ladles and gonttemon at
tho Court-House- on Saturday night
last, on tho vital political Issues that
aro now boforo tho American people
awaiting their verdict at tho ballot-box.
Although the Colonel prefaced his re
marks by saying, “Richard is not him
self to-night,-” wo yet thought his ef
fort throughout the finest we over hoard
him mako. Ho spoke for about an
hour and a half, and made many tell
ing and happy hits'against tho Mon
grels—handled them In a way that did
our very soul good, and which called
forth repeated bursts of applause from
the largo and enthusiastic crowd. He
showed up the Georgia Mongrel load-
ers—Brown, Blodgett and Aaron Al-
peoria Bradley—in their true oolors;
and wo are confident that the few ad
herents ot that party present went
0 away feeling anything but comforta
ble over the severe castigation they
received from Wash. He is a host on
the stump, especially when ho has Mon-
grellsm for his text 1
A Pletsre for Laboring Men nnl Tu-Fayers.
The following are plain figures,which
every day-laborer and every tax-payer
can understand.- They nro extracted
from tho Bangor (Me.) Democrat, for
which paper they were written by “ A
Laboring Man j" and we ask every one
of this class to read each paragraph
ever carefully, then look uround them,
ascertain the cause of this robbery of
labor that is making them poorer eve
ry day, and upfcly tho remedy. The
cause can be easily ascertained, and
tho remedy as easily applied. It Is
the result of Radical rule,and tho rem
edy for the ovll is to defeat that party
in tho coming election—take the reins
of government out of their hands, and
elect pure men, honest men, toofilee—
men who will administer the govern
ment honestly nnd equitably, and who
will not rob the public treasury_to nd-
• vanco their own or their party’s inter
est—men, in a word, who are dbeug
suspicion, who are thoroughly wedded
to the Constitution of o^jpfchers, and
who will never consent to obtain tho
people’s money by heavy nnd unwar
ranted taxation, and then squander
that money to keep themselves and
their party in power, ns the Radicals
have done, are doing, and will contin
ue to do to the end of the chapter.—
Just as long as these reckless, irrespon
sible, thieving politicians are suffered
to rule this country, just so long will
tbeso prices for tho necessaries of life,
to the absorption of the laborer’s wa
ges, continue at their present figures.
While the laboring man will be per
mitted to enjoy but one-half tho fruits
of his labor, the other half will contin
ue to find its way into tho public treas
ury by heavy taxation, to bo applied
to Radical party projects. Think of
this, ye laboring men, as, ye read tho
subjoined extract, and resolve to rise
up in ronr might and help throw off
this grinding Radical yoke by voting
for those pure and incorruptible patri
ots, Seymour and Blair:
l’or four days' work in 1859 I could buy a bar
•rcl of excellent (lour. For an equally good bar
rel now 1 have to work eight days.
For ono day's work in 1869 I could buy five
pounds of tea. For aaiuo day's work I call now
buy but two pounds.
For ono day’s work then I could buy thirty
pounds of sugar. For a day's work now I can
get but artocn pounds.
For a day’s work in 1859 I could buy olght
pounds of tobaoco. For a day's work now I can
buy but three pounds.
For a day's work In 1859 I could buy-dflcon
pounds of coffee. For a'day's work now I cuu
buy but flvo pounds.
For ono month's work In 1859 I eould cloths
myself and family foronu year. To do tho same
uow I am obliged to work two months and ahull.
I might thus go through tho whole list or arti
cles that a laboring man and his family consume.
Tho fact Is that wo are permitted to onioy but
ooth.
liadlcal Designs and Radical Lies.
Greeley of tho N. Y. Tribune, Ray
mond of tho Timet, ami ovory llttlo
Mongrel Editor and stump-speaker in
tho laud, aro crying out that the Dem
ocrats meditate a revolution of blood
should they get into power—that they
will upsot the Government at the point
of tho bayonet, rc-cnslavo the negroes,
&o. Thcso palpablo lies are designed
for a double purpose, viz t to deceive
tho Northern people, nnd to operate
upon nnd influence tho ignorant blacks
of tho South to vote for their Mongrel
candidates in Novombor. Oh, the ly
ing scamps i what will they not do to
deoaivo nnd mislead tho people l Thoir
rotten party is tumbling to pieces, nnd
thoy hope to bolster it up by emula
ting every species of falsehood con*
coming their opponents. -Tho Mon
grels are tho only revolutionists to
be found in all this broad land, as ovo
ry day developments clearly and un
mistakably prove. At this very mo
ment thoy nro pushing forward a revo
lution which hhs not only overthrown
the Government of our fathers, but
whioh will, if they are not hurled from
power,end in the destruction of our civ
ilization, tho Afrlcanisiug of America
and a bloody war between the two ra
ces. Even now the startling news comes
from Washington, whore it is said they
have tho headquarters of a secret mili
tary organization called “The League,”
that the scoundroly leaders of the Mon
grel party contemplate a forcible inau
guration of Grant, should they be boa-
ten fairly at the ballot-box. The noto-
torlous Logan is the commander of
this revolutionary concern, and the ne
groes are being seoretly armed by him,
What is this for if not for the purposo
of thrusting Grant into the Presiden
tial office by force, If found necessary ?
-and what is this but revolution ?
Raymond, in his paper of the 38th
attempts to show that the spirit of re
bellion is as rampant in the South now
as it was in 1860—-says the Southern
Democracy aro seeking to regulate and
control the policy of tho Republic, and
threaten a resort to force if they are
defeated—that they are “manoeuver-
ing -under the leadership of Seymour,
With the design of making tho triumph
of Grant an excuse for fresh turmoil
and further bloodshed.” Thcso are
positive lies, manufactured for Mon
grel political purposes, and the dirty
dog, Raymond, knew it when be penn
ed the slanderous sentence. The peo
ple of tho South—the late “ rebels ”—
desire peace above every thing else,
and for the sake of it have made con
cession after concession to the Mon
grels. This the lying Raymond knows,
if he knows anything. Opr people
have bad, and are having, enough of
f* turmoil and bloodshed,” produced
not by themselveB, but tho Tbad Stc-
venBes, the Butlers, the Greeleys, the
Raymonds, and tho swarm of carpet
baggers they have sent amongst us to
sow seeds of discord broadcast among
the blacks; and wovo it not for tho ut-
crance of just such slanderous lies as
tho above, whioh ore circulated by
Raymond and his lying co-workers for
tho purpose of keeping alive at the
North a false impression as to the true
feelings of our people towards the
Government, peace and prosperity
would have long since come to our dis-
tractod borders. But this state of
things they do not desire to see come
about, for whenever it does the days
of Mongrolism, which lives by “tur
moil ” and Btrlfe, are numbered. This
they know, and hence their thousand
and one lies concerning the insubordina
tion of tho “ rebels of the South.” Oh,
the lying rascals I to continue to per
petrate such falsehoods for no other
than party purposes. 'Tis a wonder
to us that the monstrous and sinful
wrotchos engaged in this devilish cru
sade against, a defenceless but loyal
people, are not instantly dashed to at
oms by the thunderbolts of outraged
heaven. But God has in store for them
a punishment sovere and terrible, and
it will come upon them Booner or later.

aportsnt Letter from Gen. linstock.
Newport, R. I., July 18,1868.
0. T. Glover, Esq., St. Louts Missouri:
My Deab Sib—I am greatly oblig
ed for your favor of 18th inst. Those
who suppose that I do not acquiesce
in the work of the National Democrat
ic Convention, or that I do not sin
cerely desire the election of its nomi
nees, know very little of my character.
Believing, as I verily do, that the pre
servation of the Constitutional Gov
ernment eminently depends on the
success of the Democratic party in tho
coming election, were I to hesitate in
its cordial support I feel that I should
not only falsify my own record, but
commit a crime against my country.
I never aspired to the Presidency
on account of myself. I never sought
its doubtful honors and labors and re
sponsibilities merely for the position
My own wish was to promote, if I could,
tho good of the country, and to rebuke
the spirit of revolution which has in
vaded every sacred preciuct of liberty.
When therefore you pronounced tho
statement in question false you did
exactly right. Principles and not
men is the motto for the rugged crisis
in which wo are struggling. Had I
been made'the Presidential nnroj

—Tlte Kadtrals Conteaiplate War.
Washington, July 80, 1808.
Docidodly tho most linprudont prop
osition whioh over emanated even from
Lhu Radical dictators is that looking
to a transfer of tho powor to olect
Presidential doctors to tho bogus Leg
islatures of tho Southern States. I
hinted tho other day that the Jacobins
had despaired of carrying tho “ recon
structed ” States even by tho votes of
their own ehoson dupes. Simultane
ously,however, with this now and shame
less dodge intelligence comes that the
so-called Legislature of Georgia has
repudiated tho dastardly wretch, Joe
Brown, and tho indicted felon, Blodg-
ott. Another change of tactics In that
Stato is, therefore, now necessary,
nnd it has boon suggested that Geor
gia, together with Maryland,Kentucky,
Missouri and Dolaware, ho ignored in
the count by tho House, tho latter four
StatOB not having squared their electo
ral votes with the requirements of the
“ fourteenth article.” Tho excoliont
letter of Gen. Blair is held up-as a
scarecrow to hide the revolutionary
purposes of .the Jaoobins. A blind
man may sba to what point things aro
teuding. The Radicals do not intend
to be beaton without plunging the coun
try into war. They aro tho real au
thors of the recent war, and are de
termined to maintain their power at
all hazards.
In this view it becomes the people of
this country to scan “ the situation ”
in earnest. The regular army is under
the command of Grant, the cnndldato
of the Radicals. A wide-spread secrot
military organization,' under tho com
mand of Logan, called “ tho League,”
has its headquarters here in Washing
ton. The negroes are being armed,
undor sab-commanders at tho South
and orders are being daily issued by
cabal, of which Schenck is the head,
at the “ National Oapital,” plainly con
templating the use of force in thrust
ing Grant into the Presidential ofiico.
'orewarned ” should lend to being
“ forearmed 1” If the people expect
their voice in the Novembor election
to bo hoard and regarded at ail, they
must bo prepared to enforeo it. If
theyabow anythinglike the white leath
er, nothing can save the nation from
revolution, anarchy nnd bloodshed.—
The Radicals havo no longer a hope
of fairly electing their ticket. They
are looking solely to revolution to of-
fect their purpose.
Tho, followiugls from the Ponneylvh-
t Democratic Stato Committee, nd-
r labor; tho other half
one-half of tho frulta of

bery of labor, and apply tho remedy f

not to me, but to the principles which

These sir, aro my sentiments', what
ever interested parties may say to the
contrary, nnd I desire -that all may
know and understand that. I shall
ever hold in grateful remembrance the
faithful friends, who, hailing from ev
ery section of the Union preferred me
by their votes and other expressions
of confidence, both in and out of the
Oonvention, and shall do them all the
justice to believe that they were all
governed by patriotio motives j that
they did not propose simply to nggrnn-
. dize my personal fortunes, I ut to save
thoir country through me; that they

An FnmlstakaWc Sign of the Times.
Tlio Bridgeport (Conn.) Farmer
says:
Immediately after the nomination of
Grant and Colfax, tho American I’lio.
tograph Company, in tills city, entered
into a contract with responsible par
ties in New York to furnish two mil
lions of photograph badges of the il
lustrious pair, for use in tho pending
political campaign. They proceeded
to cxeouto the job, nnd delivered the
articles according to agreement. But
it was “no go.” , Tho badges would
not soil. There was litllo or no ,,, ■ .. ,, - n
for them—people did j 10 t want them ; ^ f ° r |°-
would hot have them. “ Tho deaf
and dumb candidate,” ns the New
York Triblnie, styled mm, was nil
played out,” and tho question with
the contracting parties then was how
to got out of tho scrape without loss.
The conclusion ivns to photograph
Seymour and Blair, nnd paste their
likenesses over llioso of Grant and
Colfax. So, tho whole force of tho es
tablishment, wo lionr, is now ut work,
overslaughing” Grant nnd Colfax
with tho honest faces of Seymour nnd

Ours is n groat country, and it is rul
ed by a party of great moral (I) ideas
—negroizing America ideas; and this
party is grinding out States with au
unheard of rapidity, and for what ?—
Not for the good of tho country or
“posterity,’ about which they-prate so
much, but Iliac they may retain power
in the land—that they may continue
to rulo this country in thoir own des
potic way. Not only has Alabama,
Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana and oth
er Southern Stales been carpet-bagged
into the Uuion, but Colorado is to be
lugged In too, and Texas out up into
the States of Rusk, Houston and Lin

two surreptitious Senators, fifty-si
misrepresenting Representatives, and
a pie-bald constituency of about twelve
millions—white, blaok, brown, red and
yellow: Caucasian, nigger, Digger In
dian, Chinese and greaser. What
model idea it is, and what a model
government we havo under Radical
rule. But these disorganizers, these
instigators of riot and bloodshed, these
revengeful fiends, these inciters of a
war between tho races, those revolu
tionists, are working for Grant and

dressed to tlio people:
The political contest just ontored in
to is laden with grave rosults to your
business ami to yourselves.
Tlio Radical party asks a ronowatof
its potter and a continuance of its mis
rule.
Defeated in ovory rocont election, it
Dow dUgoisos its principles, and trusts
for sitocess to tlio military prestiga of
an uvallablo candidate.
It offers to Grant tho shadow of pow

Its suocoss will bring you continued

tlio control of ovory department of the
Government by Radical domination
and the perpetuation of its iniquitios

ness interests.
It came into cxistouco to benefit tlio
negro; its devotion to his interests
gave us four yoars of war, grinding tax
ation and tho throe thousand rBilious
of dabt; its determination to plaoe tho
negro over the white man line for more
than throe years kept society shattered,
commerce paralyzed, industry prostra
ted, tho national credit below par and
tho Union divided.
It has governed us for near eight
yoars; the history of its first adminis
tration is written iu four years of blood
nnd recordsd in an enormous national
debt; tlio history of its second admin
istration is noar four years of peace,
with absolute power, aud a Union not
restored, a, government of tho sword,
business doBtroycd, taxation crushing
tho energies'of tho peoplo and the ne
gro vested with tho balance of power.
Its end and aim is tho preservation
of Radical power through the votes of
negroes, nnd to tills will be sacrificed

ry, your personal rights and your form
of government.
ilitary rule oppresses the nation
and eatB out tlio substance of tile peo

tlio party that maintains that rnio, for
his laurels woro gathered by tho sword-

Tho Democratic party, placing itself
upon the Constitution, pledges Itsqlf
to strict obedience thereto, to the main
tenance of tho government created
thereby, to the supremacy of law, to n
reform of abuses, to economy in admin
istration, to equal taxation and to jus
tice to all.
It antagonizes nnd denounces that
infamous policy which, during more
than three years of pence, has over
taxed tho people, has governed by the
sword and has destroyed the credit of
the nation.
Its policy is one of thoughtful fore
sight, of cautions statesmanship; it
seeks no new path, but by tho line of

ence, It will guide tho republic back to

President Johnson for Governor
of Tennebsee.—Tlie Sholby ville Union
expresses a preference for Andrew
Johnson as the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Tennessee at the next
-y- election. The Union neks, “would Mr.
Jx Johnson accept such a position ?” and
answers its own question, “we are cer
tain he would.” If President Johnson
should consent to accept the candidacy
of the Democratic party in tbe next elec
tion, ho would strike terror to the Rad
ical cohorts.
Our Sentiments “ The present is
not a political eontrovercy betwoen
Whigs and Democrats. It is a strug
gle for life or death. Our honor, dear
er than our life, is at stake. Tbe man
or the set of wen that denies me tho
right to vote, in the State in which I
live, is not ray political opponent, but
my personal enemy, and deadly foe.’’

Revenue.—Rollins issues the follow
ing: Evory dealer in manufactured to
bacco, having more than 20 pounds, or
dealer in snuff more time 10 pouuds on
hand, must deposit immediately with
tlie Assistant Assessor of proper Dis
trict, a sworn inventory of the amount
of tobacco and snuff respectively, and
must deposit a like inventory on -tho
firBt of every month hereafter. After
January 1st, 1869, all smooking, (Inc-
cut, and snuff—and after July 1869,
nil other manufactured tobaceo is to be
deemed as manufactured after the pas
sage of tho act, nnd will be requirod
to be put up in paekages and stamped
as required by law. Every dealor in
domestio or imported cigars, having
more than five thousand cigars on hand,
must file a sworn inventory ovory
month, until tho 1st of April 1869, at
which date, all cigars should be deem
ed to have been manufactured since the
passage of the aet, and aro requi red to
he stamped accordingly.

llow the Money of the Tax-Payers .Goes.
The Louisville Journal snys: “Sen
ator Trumbull hood, shovelled, and
pick-axed it hole for himself ten feet be
low tho lowest roots of the average rad
icalism of CotigVcss by offering tlio res
olution in tlid Senate Hint the scnlnwn L _
members from tlie bogus States should
be paid for tho imaginary services of a
wholo year before they were electod,
If this doesn’t mako amends to his par
ty for his opposition to irapeuchmont,
wo havo no idea what they can require.
Wo hope that his Southern friends will
compliment him with tho public pre
sentation of a carpetbag, accompanied
by appropriate speeches.”
This is the way the money of the
Tax-Payers goes. What a monstrous
outrage it would he to pay such men
for instance, as Gove and Edwards for
Congressional services, when botli of
them wore members of the late so call
ed Georgia Stato Convention, anddrew
pay at the rate of $9 per day, besides
mileage! Scarceicy a week in Con
gress, misrepresenting tlio State from
which they hail, they are to receive pay,
according to Senator Trumbull's reso
lution, for n whole year before thoy
were elected. Can anything ho more
violative of sheer justice to tho people ?
Can anything he more unprincipled?
If this be not a direct proposition to
plunder from tho public Treasury,
wlrat, “in thu name of all the gods at
once,” can bo so considered ? It would
be downright robbery. No party can
escape defeat that will tolerate such
legislation. No other evidence is need
ed of tho corruption that exists in lira
present Radical Congress.—Atlanta In

Bondsmen nro wanted to stand for
-tlio newly elected ofltciuls iu South

state of tilings in Georgia shortly, for
wo do not believe that a single radical

can give a bond that will he equal in
vnluo to tlio paper upon which it is
written.

Corn and 1’ork Crops.—The Cin-
cinnnti“Price Current,” after speaking
of the general favorable reports of the
wheat crops from all quarters of the
country, says:
Tho indications of an abundant corn
crop are quite favorable,and should this
be the case a large increase of tbo pork
crop may bo looked for the coming sea
son, because the supply of stock hogs
will he unusually large, for not only
was the supply left over from last sea
son large, farmers not having fatted
them because of tlio high price of corn,
nnd the comparative low price of pork,
but tlio incrense since then lias been
liheaal, so that the number now iu tho
Western States, it will ho soon, will ho
unusually large.
In tlio Alabama House of Represen

thoir father's in the same manner as

momhers thought tho hill especially
aimed at their race, and through their
influence it was laid on tlio table. AVo
aro told this man Harris also has a bill
before tlie House to legitimatize his
bastard children; nnd it is reported
that a suit is pending against him at
