The Philadelphia Age concludes a vigor ous article with these resonant and valiant words: “The temporary disaster which has met us was nut owing to our candidates or our principles, but was solely the result of a monstrous scheme of fraud, bribery and intimidation, which was inaugurated and successfully carried into effect by cor rupt Radicalism, lu Pennsylvania, the honest expression of the will of the people was not permitted to be heard. We were cheated in almost every election precinct. We may again be defeated by the same in famous means which produced an apparent majority against us in the State on Tues day last. But our faltii in the people—our faith in the ultimate triumph of the Demo cratic party—our faith in the great cause of the Union and the Constitution—will not be shaken one particle, but, on the con trary, will be made strougcr and more en during, as the clouds thicken and the tem pest rages. If these solemn, earnest words should be read by one human being who has been disheartened by Tuesday’s fight, we say to him, be of good cheek, buckle on your armor fob another and sterner contest ! To-day we again advance the old Democratic banner—on its folds are written our eternal principles—and we will keep it flying at our mast-head, just as it is, until defeat overtakes it, ar and then we will sadly fold it; but hopefully, away, until a new struggle invites us to fling it again to the breeze in defense of our common liber ties.” HOW A SOUTHERN NEGRO TARES IN THE NORTH. The Macon Telegraph gives a conspicuous place in its columns to the following letter from a Southern negro, who went North ward in search of Paradise: Washington, October it, 1868. Editors Macon Telegraph : As you sec by this communication I am at the great headquarters of Radicalism in America. You know I started on invitation to visit the State of Maine, but sinee arriving here and seeing what chance a colored man lias in the North, I have concluded to return home. And now 1 want to show my colored friends what they may expect on ilioir travels in the Radical States. I arrived at Atlanta just before day. It was a cold, damp morning, and I was « stranger in a strange piece. I naked some one where I could find a place to stay nnlil light, and was painted to the National Hotel, the headquarters (jflPGov. Bullock and the Radical party in Atlanta. After all the passengers were through re gistering, I went up to the clerk, pplled off my hat anti asked him could 1 stand by his stove till daylight. Ho looked at iue, saw that I was colored, and replied : “ No, no, this is no nig ger hotel—we have no negroes here but a few waiters, aud if wo could do auv better would soon get shed of them.” f told him 1 did uot ask to stop at his hotel, but I was a stranger aud only wanted to stand by the stove in the office till it was light. He said, “Go out aud stand by the door, and when the porter gets through with his baggage he will show you a nigger hotel.” I left immediately and was pointed to the United States Hotel, which they told me was the Democratic headquarters and was kept by n Southern man. I asked the clerk, there, could 1 stand by bis stove till it was light ? and he said, “ Oh, yes, my good fellow, and take them carpet-bags and trunks and make you up a bed. You can get a right good nap before daylight.” Aud here you see the difference be tween a Southern man, ns lias lieeu used to us all his lile, and the Northern man who is not used to us and dobs not like us. I left Atlanta on the nine o’clock morning train for this place, and all the way along 1 met witli the same difference; whenever I spoke to a Southern while man, lie gave me a kind auswer, lint, I could teil a Northern man not more from his looks than the way lie treat ed the colored people. When I got to Washington I was tired out. and wanted a dram. So I went to a bar-room, as I would do in Macon, and asked for one. The barkeeper looked at me—raised his eyes and said, says he, “ No niggers are allowed to drink at tiiis bar.” Says I, “ I axes your par don —1 am a stranger, a traveling about, aud I wants a drink mightily, and would you please tell me how I can get one ?” Says lie, “ Thai s a perlieeman at the door, and if you give him the money lie will buy one for you.” Ihcu I went to the door, and pulled off my hat. and stated what 1 wanted. Says he, “ Give me lifty cents,” which I did. Then says he, 11 You stand here.” Then he went in and soon brought out a little whisky in a tumbler,* and I drank it in the street. Then 1 stopped a while to see if there was any change coming, and he says, says he, “What is you waiting for?” Says I, “ A little cliauge, If you please.” Says he “ Change, hell don’t wait on niggr rs for nothing up here.” Then I next encountered a gentleman in a high place, holding an office of both trust and honor under the United States Government, and I assure you he talked very plain. Says he, we Northern people have no use for negroes. We are willing you should be free and have freed you, but as for your equality notions, they are all stuff and nonsense. Do you reckon I would take you inside my, house ? Do you reckon yon could sit at my table ? No, you could not come inside my gate. Yon negroes must learn to keep your place. The South is the best place for you-to live in. If you come North you will starve, for we have no place for you here. These lew anecdotes will tell yon, my col ored friends, what the Northern sympathy for us means. It is all a political hobby and there’s nothing in .it. It won’t give you a place by the white man’s fire —or a morsel at his table —or a bit of whisky in his bar-room, or a kind word, except he wants to nse you. There’s more kindness for the negro among our old masters in the South, in a day, than there is in a year among the people up this way. The Southern white men are your best friends. Stand by them and don’t mind this Northern talk. I remain, your humble servant, THE VOTE IN SOUTH CAROLINA. The Barnwell Sentinel gives certain facts and figures which should encourage our Carolina friends with much hope of redeem ing their sorely afflicted State. The Senti nel sayd: » As it is better always to know exactly what we have to do, in order the more certainly to understand how to compass the desired end, the strength of the enemy, and our own force in this Stato, is submitted, as shown by the vote on the negro constitution: Those who voted for the constitution, conceding they were all Radicals r0,<58 Those who voted against in lact Those who voted against in effect by re- • warning away from polls. <J5,551 Those who were then disfranchised but are not now 12,000 Total Democratic 1 otal Radical .70,<0b Democratic majority 4 > OSl «When these figures are considered, and wlicd, furthermore, it is known that every time the negroes have voted since the novelty of vo ting the first lime, they have voted weakeraud weaker on every subsequent occasion—that to every carpet-bagger there are five hundred re spectable white men throughout the district to influence the negro, is it not shameful for men to tacitly concede that the State caunot be car ried for the Democratic candidates! It cau be, and easily, if men will bat go about it iu the right way, and the planters are the men who can do it.” (From the Round Table. To-Day and To-Morrow. Many moderate Republicans, like, for ex ample,'Senator Henderson, are of opinion that it really makes no difference to the people who is elected President. Demo crat or Republican, he must, they say, equally obey the laws already made, and those to be made in the immediate future must needs depend on the dominant Con gressional majority. Mr. Seymour could not even if so disposed, carry out what is called Gen. Blair’s revolutionary pro gramme, since his hands would be consti tutionally tied ; and heuce the general con duct of affairs will be the same whichever party succeeds. There may be a great deal of truth iu this, although it has ratti er a sophistical air; but Waiving the tech nical aspects of the case, there are moral ones which are, perhaps, scarcely less im portant. The South, for instance, would certainly look upon Mr. Seymour’s election as an olive branch. They would regard it as the seal of reconciliation and the harbin ger of equal statal rights. They would see in it the promised cessation of military rule and the genuine restoration of civil authority. Such a conciliation of South ern feeling might rationally be expected to beget a spirit of concession and cheerful ness in that section highly favorable to the pacification and prosperity of the whole country. On the other hand, the election of Gen. Grant —the embodiment of the armed force of the Government—must naturally engen der very different feelings. Such an elec tion will assuredly not be suggestive of the olivp branch; it will not be esteemed a pledge of Northern amity and forgiveness, a herald of common constitutional privi leges. or an augur of interrupted military supremacy. It is net to be expected that the masses of the Southern people will look keenly into the future and see there the likelihood that, after receiving the Radical vote and entering the White House, General Grant may shape liis policy in accordance with the sentiments he expressed under the apple tree, at Appomatox, rather than in uni son with the spirit of Thad. Stevens. Some of us may think that this candidate with out a policy, who professes Napoleon-wise to do only “ the will of the people,” may re collect, after all, that Democrats constitute no less than eleven-fifteenths of the people —taking Maine as a standard —even in the Northern States alone, and that extreme Radicals are yet but a small fraction of the great Republican party; but we cannot ex pect Southerners, to’ whom set bayonets and naked swords have been unpromising sights of late, to hail in the ascendency oi the master who wields them a roseate here after. It. may be, as Air. Tools says, of no con sequence, but llie subject reallyJaimßs of i so many different points ol view that we can all very readily afford to be tolerant. There are good grounds for hoping that General Grant will not cease to be so, and that he will not forget, however the Demo cratic leaders have made fools of themselves and so assisted in his election, that there are some millions of people in the United States who are not within the lines of the Republican party. There have been such men as Joint Tyler and Andrew Johnson ; and such.a sight as Ulysses S. Grant with tite Democracy of tiie country, North and South, massed at his back, while he sets at defiance the infuriated and astonished Radicals, would not be, should it come to pass in 1870, an altogether unprecedented spectacle. It is decidedly a more probable one than that of iloracio Seymour, in the now unlikely contingency of his election, becoming a military dictator, or that of Congress, in the same event, unconstitu tionally extending the term of the Presi dential office. There arc certainly indica tions—such a-: the course of Mr. Wendell Phillips and The Indepe itlent newspaper, which are invariably Hie pilot-fish of the advanced sharks of their party—which ren der the former hypothesis not incredible; but there are no indications at all to sustain the latter. We believe that there is no instance in which Mr. Phillips has led the way but that the peculiar class who consider tnern selves advanced liberals have not ranged up abreast of him. It is the absorbing pas sion of the cultivated lunatic, their leader, to make himself conspicuous, and the re formers and progressionists and perfection ists invariably emulate, in due season, his dazzling example. Rather than not make, a noise and cut a figure, we verily believe this well-trained gentleman would turn spangled flip-flaps in a ring; and that his clientage would not lie long in rushing to hokl the hoops and rake the saw-dust. — Like buffalos, they will follow their leader right, np to the edge of the precipice, and then—what answer? Just this. The abuse of General Grant, his habits, his manners, and his policy, will inevitably lead to a bitter opposition to his administration, the extreme left of tiie Radicals will effect that split in the Republican party after the elec tion that the Democratic leaders lievc I)een too stupid to effect before it, and the say ing of Mr. Henderson and his moderate friends may be verified by events after all. [Special Wa-bingion (Oct. Ifi) Correspondence of the Boston Post, (Democratic ) The Democrats Won't Surrender. Hon. Montgomery Blair received a letter to-day from the editor of the New York Word, urging the withdrawal of the Dem ocratic Presidential candidates and the sub stitution of Chief Justice Chase, with a suitable man for the second place on the ticket. Judge Blair promptly replied, in dignantly repudiating the suggestion and expressing his astonishment at its folly.— The article which appeared in the Intelli gencer t.h’s morning, and which was sent from hereby telegraph last evening, was written before the reception of the telegram from Messrs. Tilden, Belmont and (Schell, repudiating what they denominated the foolish freak of the World, and had not copies of the Intelligencer'a article been fur nished to the Radical correspondents, it would have been suppressed. Its appear ance produced a storm of indignation among the Democrats here, who, without exception, ridiculed the nonsense of the World. They are proud of the fight the people have made, and profess to see no grounds for discouragement. In Philadelphia, there were one thousand policemen taxed S3O caoh to aid in carry ing that city. These thousand men con trolled, no doubt, more votes than would have given theiStute of Pennsylvania to the Democrats. The Mayor elect is a Democrat and this police influence will all be thrown against the Radical ticket at the November election, which materially may change the result in the State. The Democratic leaders here are full of ardor, and will go into the November contest with high hopes of suc cess. No one is louder in denouncing the folly of the New York World that Presi dent Johnson, who laughs at the crowing of the Radicals. He says another such victory annihilates them as a party. He professes to-day strong confidence in the election of Seymour and Blair. The story William Smith. that Chief Justice Chase had been appealed to to enter the list as Seymour’s successor on the Democratic ticket is without any foun dation in truth. J udge Chase, in alluding to the subject this evening, expressed his astonishment that any one pretending to .have a particle of political sagacity should be guilty of the folly exhibited in the col umns of the New York World. When the World's article reached this city so great was the indignation felt that a meeting of the Jackson Democratic Association was called and the following resolution unani mously adopted: . Besolved, By the Jackson Democratic Association of the City of Washington, That we pledge ourselves to redouble our exertions to secure the triumphant election of Seymour and Blaf. I This association, more than thirty years ago, is the representative of the Democracy here, and the above resolution indicates clearly the determination of the party so far as this District is concerned. Telegrams have also been received to-day by the National Executive Committee from nearly all the State Executive Committees, pledging increased vigor and confidently predicting the triumphant election of Sey mour and Blair. [From the New York World. ThA Wickedest General—Governor Vance, of North Carolina, Impales Kilpatrick. Charlotte, N. C., 13th October, 1868. Sir: I see by the public prints that Gen. Kilpatrick has decorated me with his dis approbation before the people of Pennsyl vania. He informs them, substantially, that he tamed me by capturing me and riding me two hundred miles on a bare back mule. I will do the gentleman the justice to say that he knew that was a lie when he uttered it. I surrendered to Gen. Schofield, at Greensboro, iffC., on the 2d of May, 1865, who told rnTTYo-gfULo’ my home and remain there, saying If he got any orders to arrest me he would send there for me. Accordingly, I was arrested on the 13th of May, at home, by a detachment of 300 cavalry, under Major Porter, of Harrisburg, of whom I received nothing but kindness and courtesy. I came in a buggy to Salis bury, where we took the cars. I saw no mule on the trip, though I thought I saw an ass at the General’s headquarters. This impression lias been since confirmed. The General, no doubt, remembers, among olher incidents of the war, the dressing up of a strumpet—who assisted him in putting down the rebellion —in the uniform of an orderly and introducing her into a respect family of ladies ip a certain village in Nortii Carolina. This, and other feats of arms and strategy, so creditable to the uni form lie wore and the flag under which he served, would, no doubt, have been quite as amusing as the mule story to his hear ers. I wonder he forgot it. Respectfully, yours, Z. B. Vance. Cling to Your Life-Buoys !— But let us leave the past to bury its own dead. Our business now is with the future. We under stand perfectly well the verdict that the Northern people have rendered. Wc know that the majority there have assumed the posture of the “Grecian Bend,” and with necks bent forward arc rushing onward to assume the yoke. The voices of the men among them of genius and incorruptible honesty—their Brick Pomeroys and Vallandighams—have been unheeded ; and leaving them to go the road they have choscu, wc turn to our own affairs. We know, as we have ever known, since we were capable of thinking-, that the Union is a failure; but we have heretofore defer red to the opinion of the Northern men al luded to above. We defer to them no more; while at the same time we lay aside none of the admiration, respect and gratitude that wc feel towards them. What shall we do—for our last hope iu the Union was in the Democratic party ? That is gone. Wc see plainly that there is no power in that party now to draw the country aside from the Niagara rapids iu which it is floating. Then our policy is to hurry it over the falls as rapidly as possible. What injury could twenty thousand troops stationed in Mobile inflict upon us now ? No greater injury than to spend money here. Lot them come then and let us bring them ff we can Conveniently. Our hope now is in the speedy establish ment of despotism, and our cry should be, “Grant for dictator ’’ —provided he keep sober. President in the primary meaning of the word lie can never l>c. Cling, O, people, to your life buoys, for hell, in shape of a political Niagara, is ahead of you.— Mobile Tribune. New York Gossip. now THE DEMOCRACY HERE FEEL OVER TIIE RESULT OF THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS—NO CAUSE OK DESPONDENCY—SOME THINGS WE ARE CERTAIN OF—TIIE RADICALS DOING A LARGE BLOWING BUSINESS ON A MIGUTT SMALL CAPITAL—THOUGHTS FOR THINKING MEN. [Special C’oirerpondeticc Louisville Democrat. New Yop.ic, October 14, 1868. I don't know how you feel about the October . elections out in Kentucky, but here iu New York you may be assured there is no sniveling, no despondency, no despairing among the lion hearted Democracy. They who were cognizant of the almost superhuman efforts made by the Radicals lo carry Pennsylvania, who knew what vast, sums of money they were spending, and how zealously they were placing in the field all the best speakers they could rake and scrape, are iu fact rather disagreeably disappointed that (he majority is no bigger than it really is. We* have high hopes of overcoming that majority in November, and p'aciug the Keystone State where it rightfully belongs, in the Democratic column. Meanwhile the Jacobins are bragging and blowing, in a way that indicates their surprise, that the people have not set their heels upon them. Old Greeley, in his ecstasy, prefaces the returns with extracts from Boker’s poetry, and, editorially, blows away at a fearlul rate in double-leaded hysterics “It’s all up with Sey mour and Blair now,” shrieks the poor crazy creature. “ The Presidential election is set lied,” aud “ Grant, beyond peradventure, is next President ol the United Slates,” etc-, etc. Now, suppose (or a moment this be conceded. What then ? Will Grant and the Jaeohih® have fnll swing at Washington and he in a position to place the country under a military despot ism ? That’s what they arc driving at; bet let us see whether they cau accomplish it, even in the event supposed. Under any circumstances, it is conceded even by the Republicans themselves, that the follow ing States are certain to go for the Democracy: Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Kentucky, New Jersey, Oregon, Maryland, California. The geographical importance of thc-e States in the event of any revolutionary proceeding on (lie part of the Jacobins controlling the Federal Government, is apparent at a glance. For the first time, since the accession of the Rad ical po-rti/ to power, we ahall have a continuous territory, stretching from Connecticut to the Chesapeake, five States, under Democratic Governors, commanding the State militia, in the aggregate embracing an active force of not less than two hundred and fifty chous and MEN. Well, ask some*onc what good that will do ? How will that compensate for the defeat of Seymour and Blair? Wo answer, that it will lie a substantial guar antee that tile Jacobins will not dare to attempt any rmw experiments upon the patience, of the peopff. It will he an admonition to them back out of any new schemes they may be hatching for the subversion of government, and above and bey on 4 alt, that continuous cordon of Democratic States will stand as a breakwater against any future junc tion of forces between the fanatics of New England and thenar pet-baggers and incendiaries of the. South and West. Surely, to accomplish this much, will be worth all the efforls the De mocracy can make Between now and Novem ber, and tiiis much as I have already said, the Black Republic ins acknowledge is, in any event, inevitable. No account is here taken of Kentucky and the Pacific States, but who does not see that id ease of an emergency the Democratic Govern ors there, with the militia, would lie in positiou to be of vast service to the cause of constitu tional liberty ? How Reverdy Johnson Lost His Eye.—A Washington correspondent says it was done thus: A great many years ago, a member of Con gress from North Carolina, named Btanley, was engaged in a quarrel with Henry A. Wise. A challenge passed. Stanley went out to John son’s farm in Maryland to take lessons in pistol-shooting from Reverdy, and while they were firing, a ball rebounded from the mark and inflicted upon Mr. Johnson the mark that all his portraits will carry.
