Mongrel Corruption—Luxury of the Freedman’s Bureau—How do you Like It P Give the people, the honest portion of them, light—show them how rotten, liow thioving, how devilishly wicked the scoundrels are who have tho reins of Government In their lmntjs—and wo bolieve they will hurl those infa mous creatures from power. A knowl edgo of the enormity of their crimes —of the manlier In which they. art? squandering tho people’s hard earn-’ lugs—is all that is wanted to insure the triumph of democratic principles, and a return of tho Government to its former prosperity and greatness. Never, since tho thirtcou colonies doclnred their independence of British oppression, Dave the pcoplo been made to groan tinder such weighty and un warranted taxation. Thu tax or duty on tea, which produced the difficulty between tho fathers of tho Republio and the mother country, was light in comparison to the tax imposed upon the peopio of Amerioa by the plunder ing, thieving Mongrels. This “ Ged and morality party” that prates so lpudly about “economy," keeps up on army of 60,000 men at ait expense to tho Govornmont—to the honest, hard- working tax-payers I—of $140,000,000, and all for wlmt ? To serve tho infa mous purposes of tho nigger bureau system 1—to keep in existence an in stitution that fosters laziness, theft and every spocies of crimo among the lousy, trifling niggers of the South, by giving them rations and paying them money to vote with the Mongrels I Yes, this negro bureau curso “is made the osten sible reason for supporting a military force of twice the size and three times the cost of that which was sufficient to conquer Mexico.” Think of this, ye tax-payors of tho nation when you go to the polls, nnd voto for Seymour and Blair who will free the country of this and ovory othor Mongrel curse. But wlmt does this infernal institu tion, called the Freedman’s Bureau, cost the Government f—how much money is taken from tho Treasury to pay tho agents, clerks, surgeona and othor hangers on of tills rascally con cept? Lot us see. The number of agents, iic., employed under that plun dering institution, numbers 111, and the yearly amount, in salaries alone, paid to .these leaches is $931,459.— Just think of it, laboring men of Am erica 1—$981,459 yearly paid out of tho public treasury in salaries alone to this army of 111 idle, non-producing, wealth-consuming drones I Add tho above figures to tho cost of running the bureau mnehine, together with the expense of the liugo army of 60,000 men whi eh this diabol leal concern keeps in the field to enable its infernal prin ciples to live, and the total yearly cost of this national curse will foot up $200,- 000,000. Oh I tho scoundrelism of the Mongrels!—what will they not do in tho way of squandering tho people’s hard earnings to keep their rotten, thieving party in power ? These fright ful expenditures must lie reduced— this nigger curBc must be broken up— this army of 60,000 men disbanded— the ruins of government must bo taken out of the hands of the wicked party in power, or the country will soon be hopelessly bankrupt. Bard in Lov6 Again I Bard has fallen in love with Gen'l Young, our gontlemanly and patriotio Representative. lie says, “the fact is, wo lilio him and we don’t try rauoh to help It" We do not wonder that all honest white men admire the Gen eral, but wo do not see how Bard's sort can like him—he is too brave, high-toned and chivalrous for that I Cropping Oui Gonorat GnrfloW, member of gross from Ohio, made other day, in whloh he'said: 11 General Grant trill bo elceted the noxt P.-ca- lilont of tho United SISUu. When thus denied, he Intends, with tho aid ortho Radical tnnjiirltv In Congresa, to rulo tho country by tho help of a little triangular pleco of atool called a b-yaneU” , That’s it I Tito opponents of your infamous party—tho good and truo_ men of tho country—are tYcli awaro of that fact. Tbs Mongrels have boon, and aro now, ruling the country “ by the help of.tlint little triangular pleco of steel I” and wo are satisfied that if Grant Is elected he will' continue to ilo tho same thing, with this dlffcronoa, that his' rulo will ho moro after tho fashion of European despots. But this declaration of Gen. Garfield is clearly revolutionary, and as such wo denounco It. We are satisfied that tho Mongrels intend, by the aid of its army Qf 60,- 000 “ bayonets,” to uso tho most'dls-- honornblo moans on the. day of elec tion—by cheating, fraud, swindling and intimidation—to thrust their man, Butcher Grant, on tho peopio of Amer ica as their next President. They mu9t bring into requisition that “ little pleco of triangular stool ” where It can bo done with Impunity, or they are lost—utterly and forever defeated, wiped out of existence, as a party.— This they soo and feel: and wo further believe that should they fall at the bal lot-box, they will, If tho majority Is not too groat against them, attempt to in augurate their man President “ by the help of that little piece of triangular steel I”' But should they do this— should they practice fraud, swindling, etc., in order to place Grant iu the Presidential chair—the N. Y.DayBook tells his lt backer, Gen’l Garfield, M. C., that the Democracy also Understand the manipulation of the triangular pleco of steel he alludes to, and inteod to protect their liberties with it if ne cessary—that tho right of tho ballot- box !e one thing, but the abuse of its privileges is quite another; and the democracy will not supinely allow the shackles of slavery to bo placed upon their limbs, through any thimble-rig ballot-box game.” Another civil war would bo a terri ble horror! J' 0 * 1 such declarations as tho above looks very much like the Mongrels Intend to plunge the country Into this horror of horrors In the effort to obtain control of the Government for another four yours. Fair play is nil tho democracy ask—give them this nnd they will nbida the issue liko hon est patriots, whatever it may be, Report of tho Committee on the Btato of tho Republio. In another column will be found the nhovo report, which was adopted In tho House of Representatives on Saturday last. It was drawn up by our talented representative, Horn I. E.

The At lanta Intelligencer thus speaks of It: "This very Rlilo report, proacn'.i'd on veatordny to tho Houbr by the Uhuirmun Of tho Committee, Mr. I. E.

Congratulatory Address of tho Bonn- eylvania Democratic State Com mittee Upon the Glorious Gains in Maine. 2'o the Democracy of Pennsylonnia Tho sturdy Democracy of Maine have covered themsolvo9 with glory. In tho very citadel of Radicalism they have demonstrated that yon aro upon tho eve of n magnificent victory, Tho two parties were last arrayed at tho polls upon national issues iu 1366. Maine then polled a vote nearly equal to her voto in 1864, whilst Pennsylva nia polled her largest vote. Iu 1385 Radicalism received in Maino 69,631 votes. In 1868 it re ceived, as they themselves cstimato, 15,009. Tills is an inorenao of eight por cent, upon the vote of 1866. In 1866 Democracy there received 41,941 votes, and in 1868 it received 65,125 votes. This is an increase of thirty-per eont. upon tho voto of 1866. In 1866 Radicalism received in Penn sylvania 301,214 votes, and Democra cy received 300,000 votes. Apply tlie tost of Maine to tills vote, nnd Radicalism will receive in Penn sylvania an incrense of eight per eont., 24,581 votes, makings total of 331,855 votes, nnd Democracy will receive an increase of thirty per cent., or 81,028 votes, making n total of 811,124 Dem ocratic votos, showing That wo will have a clear Domocratio majority of 45,269 votes, Whilst tho totals shown by this esti mate aro too large for tho voto that will be enst in October, no man wlur knows the condition of public sent! rnentj in Pennsylvania will assert that tho relative proportion will bo lessened. Maine voted for John O. Fremont, yet James Buchanan was elected Pres ident, aud Pennsylvania led the column of States that mado him tho Chief Ex ecutive of tho nation. Tho hope of the Republio is in the Democracy of tho Keystone. As in 1856 the responsibility of de termining the contest now rests with you. Maine has proven that you can ngniu bring triumph to the principles that you love. Let us arouse to renewed energy nnd more determined effort. By order of the Democratic State Committee. William A.

The town of Pleasant Plains was rep resented by a delegation of seven hun dred porsons, in which wnB a large car filled witliJndies, dressed in white, and- n bondholder's family, driving in style, followed by the tax-payers. From Gjflmnsvilie, fifty-five “White Boys in Blue,” enme, dressed in green jackets and red pants. FromGIrn fd came twenty-fivo.“ White Boys in Bluo.” From Decatur, ninety-two “White Boys in Blue."

The regiment was un der tho command of Col. Harrison. Besides these, - Lincoln sent one hun dred “White Boys in Bine ;" Quincy, four hundred nnd thirty ; and Mount Sterling, ono hundred. , Those aro only a few of tho largo del egations. About ten of the delegations had immense hickory flag staffs, sur mounted by American flags. One of the most attractive and sug gestive incidents In.tlie procession was a train of thrce.large wngons, contain ing Indies, representing respectively the original thirteen Slates, nnd the Union of thirty-seven States, and tlie Union ns reconstructed by the Radi cals—tho latter wagon being followed by tlireo young Indies in blank, gunfd- ed by soldiers, representing tlie three disfranchised Southern Slates. Tho immense throng passed in pro cession to tlie grounds selected, occu pying nearly two hours on tlie way. At two o’clock the Hon. George n.

Delegations were present from Hagerstown, Oonnersville, Milton, Gcrmnntown, Ac., aud nearly every county in the district was large ly represented. In tho forenoon a pro cession,emuposod mainly of the “White Boys in Bluo ” of Cambridge and ad, joining towns, waB formed in the prin cipal street, and marching nnd coun ter-marching through the town, pre sented an imposing appearance. Tlie line which appeared to bo about three miles iu length, occupied ubout one hour in passing the gates of tho enclos ure wlicfe tlie meeting was hold. Tlio number of persons present was no doubt greater thau-lind ever before been assembled iu Cambridge. As Judge Reid, candidate for Congress in this district, remarked, in respouso to a call for n speech, “There had been nothing like it sineo the year 1846, and even that great meeting which was then held at COnnersvlHe, and which was considered tlie monster of tlie times, was not so large as this meeting now at old Cambridge." In the afternoon, after enjoying a plentiful lunch, the crowd gntliered around the speaker's stand, when Sen ator Doolittle waB introduced, and made a great speech, lasting two hours— His extensive and powerful discussion of tlie question of reconstruction was particularly remarkable.. Ho was mado The meeting of tlie Democracy to night is tlie largest night meeting over hold'In the city. ’ Bon-lircs aro blazing in front of tho Opera House and the Coiirt House; while Thomas O. Lowo is addressing the meeting. Tlio en thusiasm is wonderful. Tromeiidous cheers aunounue tho conclusion of Lowe's speech. General Cummins, a gallant soldier, is now addressing tlio immense assemblage, and tho npplause is incessant. The torch light proces sion was the finest political demonstra tion ever seen in this city. This will he a night long remembered iu Butler eonnty. Tlio eloquent speeches of Mr. Lowe and General Cummins produced tho utmost enthusiasm. At tlie very lowpst- estimate, five thousaiid men are present at the meeting. 16,000 people present. Jackson C. H.„ Ohio, Sept. 13,1868. —One of tlio largest mootings ever held in Jackson couuty assembled to day, and numbered fully 15,000. The day was fine, and tlio people from the country pbnred jq .by thousands. A procession of two miles in length, head ed by a large wagon, containing thirty- seven young ladies dressed in red, white, aud blue, marched through tho town. The mooting was organized in ahenu- tiful grove near tlie town at 1'o’clock, and was addressed by Mr. Vnllutulig- ham for two hours and a lmlf in the most forcible; mauner. Many Repub licans were convinced by the facts he presented. Tho Radical lenders were uwe-strickeu at the demonstration made to-day. Tlio Democracy of Jackson county aro all alive and will give a glorious account in Ootobor and Novomber. Pennsylvania. IVo hear, says tho Albany Argus, en- conrnging accounts fron tlie Keystone .State. ‘ Ttje following will give tlie •render shnfe b|eiV of the direction of the current there: Hx-Governor.William F. Johnson, of Allughnny county, formerly a Rad ical of:tile strongest kind, has come out strongly for Seymour.and Blair.— lie made a Democratic speech in Pitts burg a few nights since. Tho PittBhufg Dost says it hits the names - of oiglity-two Republicans of that city who hnve joined Seymour anti Blair clubs, nnd will voto tlie entire Democratic ticket at tho next election. Tim Erie Observer says : General W..H. Irwin, a gentleman familiarly known to many of our citizens, 1ms ta ken tlie stump for Seymour and Blair in the lower counties of tho State.— He supported Lincoln in 1864 ; but having been connected with General Hancock’s administration in New-Ur- lenns, lie had nn opportunity of learn ing the practical workings of Radical reconstruction, nnd is now one of its most determined enemies. Uubeit S. Morrison, Esq., a young nnd briilinnt lawyer, son Of the ex-May or of Alleghany city, Pennsylvania made a stirring speech tlio othor day, renouncing Radicalism, and giving in his adhesion to tlie Democratic party. The Loyal Lengtio of Philadelphia have expelled eigl.ty-two of their mem bers for non-paSneht of dues. They liavo united with Seymour and Blair organizations. Colonel \V. B; Thomas, of Philadel phia, Collector of tlio Port under Pres ident Lincoln, lias renounced Radical ism, and supports Seymour and Blair Mn Win. K. King, n very intelligent cilizeii of Bedford, Pennsylvania; wlio was a member of the Republican par ly from its foundation, and who vot- ed for Fromont, and twice for Lincoln, has deylareil himself in favor of Sey mour and Ulnir. Seymqur Confident.—The Now York correspondent of tlio Mobile Register writes: “Gentlemen in cor respondence with Gov. Seymour say lie has'the utmost confidence iu the siie- tVhloli liavo agltitod tlio country for a number ofyears, have beon determin ed by tlie arbitrament of tho sword, aud us practical questions, liavo passed from public attention. At tiiu olbso or tho late war, tho poopto of Godrgia, iu uoramon with the people of other States composing the tU facto dovoritirioht, known as the Confederate States of Amorlua, acquiesced In tile unavoida ble eonsequuncus of the strngglc.— And while belioviiig It to be the right of thu Stato to return to tho American Union, upon terms of equality With other Hiomborsof that Union, and with' the privileges and immunities ofitll its citizens unimpaired and protected un der the mglsof tbu Constitution of (he United Status, the ponjile of the State acquiesced in a plan of Recniistrito- tlon, thought to be necessary, and pro* set. bed by tho President of the'United States, although' that plan imposed pains and penalties upon nnthy of tlie best citizens of tho State, which were regarded as unjust and oppressive, yet the State did not assume it to bq bur prerogative to question tho authority of tho President to net in tlie premises, much less to offer any opposition to his proposed plnn. Passively yielding to the Executive authority of tho Uni ted States, the people of Georgia pro ceeded to organize n State Govern ment, in harmony, with, and in oliedi- eucu to, tlie terms of tlie President’s plan of reconstruction—scrupulously complying with every condition of that plan, including the ratification of,the emancipation of their slaves, by sol emn enactment, the repudiation of the lugul liabilities of tile State, aud tho recognition of tho validity of tlie pub lic debt of the United States. In nil honest effort to accommodate Itself 8o tho new order of things, re sulting from tlie war, and to make its government productive of tlie great est attainable good to all. the people of tho State, including the three hun dred thousand persons, who had.been liberated from slavery, and to whom their, former dwnors entertained .reel ings of kindness, and whom they hold in nowise responsible for their altered condition, the Legislature of the State conferred upon porsons of color civil rights, by an not nppr'oyed March 11th, 1866, a section of which wo beg leave to quote: “That 'persons of color shall have tho right to make and enforce contracts, to sue and be sued; to he pnrtiesand give evidence; to purchase, lease, bold, ana convey real and per sonal property, and to have full and equal benefit of nil laws and proceed ings, for the security of person uud estate, and shall not be subjected to any olhorordifferent punishment, puin or penalty, fur the commission of any act, or offense than snob as are pre scribed for white pursons committing like ads or offenses.” It.will ho remembered that this lib eral legislation was in advance of tlio passage of tlie Civil Rights .bill, by tho Congress of tile United States, which in lauguage singularly coinci dent, with that above quoted, confer red upon freedmeu the same rights mid privileges. It is further true, that tlio Congress of tlio United Stales, for nearly two years, took no action tend ing to overthrow tlio Stato Govern ment, organized and established iiniler the auspices of tlie President. Yet Oongresss. for reasons satisfactory to itself, enacted, over tlio protest of tlie President, what are known as tlie Re construction acts, prescribing other and diHuruut terms for the restoration of certain Southern Slates, including Georgia, to tho Union ; denying tlie nutliority of tlie President to lake such action iu tlie premises as he had taken, and setting at naught all that had been done by our people under tlie former plan. We refrain from any discussion of file relative merits of these two plans of reconstruction, or as to their conformity with the organic law of the land. Our people watched with passive, but deep interest, tlie struggle of two co-ordinate departments of tlio Feder al government, over their respective politics of restoring our State to prop er federal relations, and tlie successful efforts of each contending department to secure the eo-opuration of the third departinentof the Federal government, in the enforcement of tlie one or tlie other of those politics. It was a Strug- gle in which our people could take nn part, though it Involved their most vi tal interests. As tlie result, our State was subjected to a sccoud reconstruc tion, in which new conditions and dif ferent cxuclions were imposed. As in the former insluuce, it was not in tlie power of the State effectively to ques tion, much less to resist the action of a department of the Federal govern ment. This second reconstruction wus administered by thy,,mailed hand of nnbly, m tho oxerctso of their aud eonsiiiontlous judgment, ared, by largo majorities, that at Constitution,’ (lor any law it thereto, confers upoti'tlifl negro race, tlio right to hold office, to- gellier with other I'aots whl<;h liavo oc curred, antecedently and subsequently to tho meeting of tills lmdv, and tlio pendency of nn exciting Presidential canvass, have aroused party fueling to a pitch whloh needs carefully .to bo guarded, to prevent ealamitous danse- quonoesi Wo depreciate tlio highly inflamma tory and violently abusive character of certain political publications nnd pub- Ho spucchosi whloh' unduly luflamu tihd oxcitu the puusioiiB nnd prejudices of both rades. «i Wo -deprecate the criminally false assertions In -public prints ami pnbllo ad drosses, made for tlio express pur pose of arousing the hostility of the negro race against tile White Fat'd/ Wo deprecate thd ttilvido atftl silgt gostlons given hy men, (who in many Instances are not identified with the interostS'of the State,) whiuli Imre Iff duecd negroes to ttriif themselves, for their defense in the exerulsu-rtf- fights and privileges, Which it is falsely .as sorted, a majority of tlio white race de sire to wrest from tlio liogi'a rnce. • Wo dopreoato tho fact, ■ that there are inon in mlr midst, who basely nnd falsely assert, that it Is the purpose of a majority of tlio white 1 peopio of tlie Stato to romnild the negro to his for mer condition of slavery.
