MEETING OF CONGRESS.
It will be recollected that Congress
took a recess until Sept. 'l, with the
understanding thaViiiireis some special
trouble should arise requiring a meet
ing, the members would not attend, the
presiding officers in such case to ad
journ both houses to December—the de
cision of the question - being left with
Senator Monoarsi and Representative
SCHENCK. These gentlemen had a
conference in Washington on Tuesday,
and in view of the threatened Rebellion
in the South and the uncertain pur
poses of the President, it was not deem
ed safe to adjourn over to December.-:
Accordingly, in a circular issued by
Messrs. MORGAN and ScitExcii., they
recommend that there be a full attend
ance iu both Houses on Monday, whilst
at the same lime they express the
opinion that it will dot be necessary to
enter upon the transaction of general
business, nor to prolong the session
longer than may be necessary to pro
vide for another adjournment. Sen
ator MORGAN and Mr. SCHENCK are
understood to be in favor of an.adjourn
ment over until the 21st of October.
Tooatas of Georgia, in his speech of
September 4, in Georgia, said "it u?aa a
matter of indifference to him if every
. body in the land KNEW (hat he would
hear of the repudiation of the National
debt with great equanimity. He
wouldn't lose a dollar by it'"
That is one reason why he, and those
like him, so sternly resist acquiescence
in the adoption of the-XlVth Amend
ment to the Constitution. With that
adopted, the thiion Debt can never be
repudiated, nor the Rebel Debt warn
ed.

The prevalence of artstooratio, and
even monarchial principles, amopg a
large circle of the Copperhead poilti
clans—especially thoseof theSouth-4a
a matter of notoriety among thosewho
have had the-opportunity of ascertain
ing their private opinions which perso
nal and social -intercourse gives. We
have often heard them expressed, pub
licly as well as privately, by that class ;
and occasionally have seen these views
defended in Southern papers.
But this poison is penetrating the
Northern Copperheads. The Round
Table, a New York journal of that
persuasion, has often intimated its dis
gust with popular government, and is
constantly sneering at what it consid
ers the "failure of our form of Govern
ment."
We have bad recently a striking il
lustration of this tendency nearer home,
lu the person of a no less distinguished
"Democrat" than Hon. JEREMIAH S.
I.ltAcit, Mr. Buchanan's Attorney
General, and the ablest of his party's
leaders in the State, if not in the Ya
tion. In his speech in York, August
24th, 1868, printed in the York Gazette
of September 1, we find this paragraph,
near the close :
"Rather than see General Grant
elected President_with.the understand
ing that he is to administer tbegovern
ment on the congressional plan of dis
regarding all constitutional obligations
it would be far better to let him or
somebody else be proclaimed ABSOLUTE
bICTATOR AND ABOLISH TILE CONSTI
TUTION AT ONCE. For myself, if I
must choose between the two mot
frightful evils that ever scourged the
human race, I WILL, WITHOUT ILESI
TATIoN, TAKE AN uNialliTED MON
ARCHY, IN PREFERENCE TV A ROTTEN
The evidence required by him that
the republic is "rotten," and deserves
to be overthrown, will be the election
of GRANT, on the principles laid down
in the Chicago Platform, and in his
letter of acceptance! In that event,
Judge 13Lecir declares that he prefers
that some body shall revolutionize the
Government, declare himself dictator,
and establish an "unlimited monarchy"
on its ruins.
This reminds us of a recent declara
tion of one of the Rebel Chiefs that he
wilL honor the flag of the Republic,
when it again symbolizes a Nation gov
erned by the "Democratic" Party. But
that while it represents a Nation with
"Democratic" principles ignored, and
Copperhead leaders deprived of power,
he will continue to hate it!
Judge lilacs., and his open Rebel
friend, - are logical in their position.—
They don't believe in the principles of
the declaration of Independence. They
have no faith in Universal Liberty.—
They have no appreciation for the com
prehensive words of LINCOLN at Get
tysburg : "A government of the people,
for the people and by the people." The
people are to be respected, as long as
they willingly bow to the loads put
upon them by Rebel policy and Cop
perhead leaders. But if the people
shall turn against them, they will turn
against the people ; and declare for a
MONARCHY, an UNLIMITED MONAR
CHY—consenting to.be governed with
out constitutional protection, without
law, and at the will of one man !
What, no doubt, reconciles them to
this, is their conviction that they are
the born
_governors of the people; and
that they will have higher places at
the Court of the Monarch, than they
have had in the assemblies of the peo
ple.
LET NO SUCH MEN BE TRUSTED.

GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE has given
it out that nothing prevents prosperity
in the South except the Constitutional
Amendment disqualifying certain con
spicuous and perjured Rebels from of
fice.
This shows that the great anxiety of
the old slaveholders is not to go to work
to retrieve their fortunes, but to get in
position to.ho/d office, and plot new
mischief,
One thing is certain that if the X IN'th
Constitutional Amendment be over
thrown, and the disabilities therein af
fixed be removed, nothing will then
stand in the way of making Ltr. Sec
retary of War, WfsE Attorney Liener
al, and restoring the whole brood of
traitors to the places from which they
ran away in 1861.
That's what they are after; and
Frank Blair, in. his speech accepting
the New York nomination, said that it
would be uncivilized in us not to share
our rights, honors and dignities with
such men us LEE and JOHNSTON. {ire

GEN. RosEcEANs wrote, February
18, 1863, as follows:
"The leaders of this rebellion are perfidi
ous, treacherous, unscrupulous and cruel ;
their leaders never will nor can be peacea
ble, or true friends and neighbors. We
should rejoice to see the power of these
leaders tall by the hand of their own peo
ple whom they oppress . ; the people for
whose rights we fight in common with our
own ; but unless it does thus fall, we must
destroy it, or it will destroy our nation."
Electing SEYMOUR will be the resto
ration of these leaders to their old
places of influence and power.
DID you hear that thunder down in
Maine?
PERCY WALKER, of Alabama, who
earned a title in the Rebel service,
highly eulogizes the Northern Democ
racy:
"This is the first time (referring to the
Democratic Convention) since the day when
Robert E. Lee, the great commander of our
armies, was compelled to give up the con
test gallantly waged for fbur years, that I
have seen a light in the clouds hanging over
the South. -At last the greea National
Democratic party has taken up our

There are nine millions of whites,
and three and a half millions of blacks,

these nine millions, that they can't
hold tht.ir own, with the three and a
half? Before the war, a Rebel could
whip five Yankees ! Now, he can't
cope, in voting, with his former slave.
Rather a tough story.

SAM. Cox, who is to be in Pennsyl

o veIirLY'II\ s ELACSFSIMITII. ,
It has been reported to us that the
Democratic candidate for Assembly—
Dr. DILL of York Springs,—when he
heard of' the nomination of Capt. C. G
Nfir•Latt ashiscompetitor, ridiculed the
idea of the Republicans putting up a
poor "blacksmith" against him !
Dr. DILL may be a very intelligent
man; but, if this statement be true, he
is certainly not a very wise one. Doubt
less, he has had educational advantages
superior to those enjoyed by Capt.
MILLER. Ills wealth enabled him to
study a profession. But we are at a
loss to preeeive that this circumstance,
of itself, entitles him to popular favor.
For our own part we have no doubt
that Capt.. MILLER is a gentleman of
superior natural ability to Dr. DILL ;
and that if he bad had the advantages
of a thorough training his superior
powers would now be unquestioned.—
But most ,of his youth was spent in
work; and of his early manhood, in
the tented field, serving his country
against which Dr. DILL'S friends were
making War.
Capt. MILLER is a blacksmith, and
earns his living by hard manual work.
We honor 'him for it. Probably Dr.
DILL is not aware that the wisest and
best of the men who framed our Na
tional Constitution were mechanics,
and that in those days a man we not
"hooted at" because he was a mechan
ic. At that time, the present mean
type of counterfeit aristocratic Democ
racy had not arisen.
The growth of this class of ideas, al
though to be anticipated, as the profes
sional classes increase in power over
society, is very much deprecated, for
they set up a false standard of merit,
and are apt to mislead the public judg
ment.
We shall vote for Capt. MILLER the
sensible, intelligent mechanic, if for no
other reason, as a rebuke of the con
temptible spirit which decries him be
cause he is a son of labor.
Let the County honor itself by send
ing him to Harrisburg to represent us!
WONDER whether Seymour had
heard of Maine when he said his friends
were "plunging him into a sea of trou
bles !"
As some of the more reckless Cop
perhead papers continue their infamous
slanders as to Gen. GRANT'S personal
habits, we are glad to find in a late
number of the Lutheran Observer a
notice of the slanders by its Washing
ton correspondent. The writer is the
Rev. Dr. BUTLER, an active member
of the Board of Trustees of Pa. College
and of the Theological Seminary in
this place—well known to our citizens
as a Christian minister of high person
al character, whose statements can be
implicitly relied on. Writing from
Washington under date of Aug. 7, he
says:
"An esteemed Christian minister, for
himself and for 'many' whom lie represents,
writes me, asking, 'ls it a fact that General
Giant is a drinking man ? Does he drink
intoxicating liquors to excess ? Is he a
drunkard ? Many of us (ministers) want to
kpow whether these charges are true, and
are wiling to rest the question on your de
cision.'
It is proper that the people of this land
should know whether these things are so,
and these questions have been thoroughly
investigated by men at the Capital, interest
ed in all that pertains to the well being of
the Republic. Their unequivocal and em-
AZ. s
end Grant's appearance Indicates noth
ing of the kind. Ihave seen him repeat
edly In his office, upon the street, and at his
own residence, and have seen nothing upon
which to give these charges the shadow of
foundation. Those who know hint best—
total abstinence men, and Christian men,
soldiers and civilians, say that he does not
taste even wine—that his habits are strictly
in accordance with the temperance princi
ples of the day.
It is not amiss for me to add, that Hon.
Schuyler Colfax punctiliously abstains from
all appearance of evil, in this respect. He
is a communicant in the Reformed (Dutch)
Church, a denomination not represented by
a church organization at the Capital. He is
a pew holder in St. Paul's Lutheran church,
of which the writer of this is Pastor. The
Lord hasten the time when all American
statesmen and soldiers shall keep God's Sab
baths and reverence His sanctuaries.
Glad that I am able to furnish this testi
mony, lam very truly yours," B • *
"CAUGHT up in a Whirlwind"
Democracy of ]l!flaine,
Jliaitv S. BLACK, Buchanan's Attor
ney General, who couldn't find any
Constitutional power to prevent the
South from seceding and destroying
the Union, has quarelled with Se ere
tary SEWARD, because the latter per_
slats in not, endorsing the claims of
some of Jerry's clients to the Alta Vega
islands, writes a letter to • President
Johnson, demanding the removal of
the Secretary. The letter is written in
Judge Black's peculiarly offensive
style. It is hard to say whether the
President or his Secretary is most com
plimented in this extract:
"And you keep this drivelling charlatan
in office. Nay, you keep him at the head
of your Administration and give him an
influence only equalled by that which in
former times some old strumpet might have
exercised over the mind of an imbecile
monarch. Madame de Pompadour used her
power with Louis XV. to fill the I3astiles of
France with the best and most innocent
men of that generation, and she kept them
there until her cruel spite was appeased by
their •sufferings. Thus far your favorite
bears a frightful resemblance to the mistress
of Louis XV.; but she would have blushed
to invent false excuses for foreign robbers
who had plundered her countrymen by
wholesale. The King of Bavaria, in the
most infatuated hour of his life; would have
turned Lola Montez front his bed and board
if she had dared to urge upon him an act of
injustice so gross es this."
COL. J. B. SWEITZER, a lawyer of
high standing in Pittsburg and a prom
inent leader of the Democracy in Alle-
gheny county, has pronounced for
GRANT and COLFAX. Two years ago
he ran as the Democratic candidate for
Congress against Gen. MOOREHEAD.—
On Thursday evening last he presided
at a Grant and Colfax meeting in Pitts
burg and made a telling speech. He is
a Democrat but can't go Seymour and
Blair. A gallant soldier during the,
war, he refuses to train with Rebels
and Traitors. So it goes all over the
ootintry—honest Democrats recoiling
from the revolutionary programme of
Seymour, Blair & Co., and wheeling
into the support of Grant and Colfax
to secure Peace and the fruits of vic
tory. -So it was in Vermont and Maine.
So it will be in Pennsylvania. Push
on the column!
THEBedford county Press, published
at Bloody Run, hitherto neutral, has
come out for GBA.NT, COLFAX, and the
Republican State, District and County
ticket
-Thus the good work goes on
fabiehoods. We have before us one
which has been liberally circulated in
Adams county, containing, among oth
er things, what purports to be "An in.
terestingtable for Tax-Payers." In this
"interesting" table Adams county's
share of the National Debt is put at
$4,817,032, and its share of the annual
interest thereon at V 330,02,1.92 ! When
amen sets out to tic, he may as well
tell a "whopper." Why these same
Copperhead leaders sow that all the
National Taxes put together in Adams
county do not amount to one•tenth of
that sum annually. But suppose it
were so, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE ? Every
dollar of the National Debt is a Demo-
cratic Debt, created in putting down a
Rebellion begun and carried on by
Democrats. Every Greenback and
every Dollar of National Tax paid are
practical reminders of Democratic per
fidy, treason and rebellion ! And yet
these same "Democrats" have the im
pudence to ask the people who pay
these taxes to restore them to the polit
ical power they so shamelessly abused
and betrayed. Circulate the docu
ments !
"HAVE you heard the news from
Maine?"
COLONIZING VOTES..-LOOK OUT !
We fled the following despatch in
the Philadelphia papers, which may
merit the attention of our • Republican
friends in the townships bordering on
Maryland:
BALTLNIOIIII, Sept. 11.—Additional discov
eries are being made regarding the plot to
transport Maryland voters into York, Lan
caster, Berke, ADems, Franklin and other
counties in Pennsylvania, to carry the Oc
tober election for the Democrats.
We have received intimations that a
similar game is to be played in the
townships bordering on York county.
In consequence of the heavy Demo
cratic majority in York, voters are to
be transferred to Adams county ten
days before the October election, to
control, if possible, the result in this
county and district. We advise the
Republicans In these townships to keep
a sharp look-out, and see to it that this
infamous project of "colonizing" voters
is frustrated.
WALLACE, Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Committee, understands
thoroughly the whole business of bal
lot-stuffing, fraudulent naturalization
papers and cheating generally, nor will
he scruple to advise anything calculated
to help the lost cause. The law inflicts
imprisonment and fine on any person
who casts a fraudulent vote, and on
any election officer who receives such
vote. A citizen to be a qualified voter
must reside in the State one year, or six
months if he at any time before had
been a citizen. Let our friends along
the border scrutinize the assessments
and watch the ballot-box, resolved to
have a fair and honest election.
THE NEW HEBELtION.
FRANK BLAIR'S revolutionary
scheme is in process of development.—
This telegram from a Republican Mem
ber of Congress from Louisiana, tells
the whole story:
"NEW ORLEANS, September 9, 1868.

JOHN R. EDER, Copperhead candidate
for Governor of Illinois, declared iu his
recent speech in Chicago that "the De=
mocratic Party, upon reaching power;
would abolish the National Banks."
Ex-Senator Fuca' of Ohio, lately de
clared the same thing. All the votes
cast in Congress indicate this purpose
on the part of the Democratic leaders,
though there is no specific declaration
in the platform onithe subject.
The National Banks were establish
ed to help the Nation through the
struggle with the Robellton. They
loaned many millions of dollars to the
government, and were otherwise useful
in sustaining the Nation's finances.—
Of course, the Copperhead leaders,
north and south, feel resentful at this;
and a cry for their punishment, by
overthrow;may reasonably. be expect
ed to follow the accession of that part
to power. Fortunately for every inter
est, the probability of that calamity is
quite remote.

MAINE has sent another stormy wave
across HOEATIO SEYAIOUR'S "sea of
troubles."
THE Republicans of Philadelphia had
a grand demonstration on Tuesday
night in front of the Union League
House. The Invincibles and other
campaign clubs turned out in large
numbers, and the whole square was
densely filled. Speaking took place
from five stands. General SICKLES,
Senator SHERMAN, and Hon. EDWARD
MCPHERRON were among the speakers.
Philadelphia is all ablaze, and will not
only wipe out the Democratic majority
of last fall but will roll up a rousing
majority for GRANT and COLFAX.-
The Philadelphia Daily News, for a
long time the leading representative of
"my policy" in that city, and a Demo
cratic organ, has taken ground in favor
Of GRANT and COLFAX.
THE Tammany platform demands
"equal taxation of every species of
property according to its real value, in
cluding government bonds and other
public securities." So they propose to
tax every acre of land in Adams coun
ty, and evesy poor man's little town
lot, at ita fill value, in order to carry
out - . Democratic doctrine. They want
bonds taxed but they want to balance
the bondholders' tax with the plow
holders' tax. We commend this plank
to the farmers of Pennsylvania.
Boats of the more reckless Copper
head papers are trying to figure a "De
mocratic victory" out of the returns
from Maine. The New York Herald,
neutral, thus hits off this new kind of
cyphering :
"The newspaper organ of Means. Bel
,mont and Barlow claims heavy Democratic
gains in the Maine election, and that pro
portionate wins will give them the States
of Pennsylvania ? Ohio and Indiana by

The election in MAINE on Monday
last resultsd in a glorious Republican
triumph. From all sections of the
State there come tidings of heavy
gains and "glorious victory. Hundreds
of life-long Democrats openly voted
the Republican ticket, unwilling to
follow the party In its shameless alli
ance with blatant and unrepenting
Rebels. The Republicans carry every
county in the State—elect all the Con
gressmen—every State Senator—nearly
all the roenibers of the House—and
roll up a majority of 20,000! The
following despatch tells the whole
story
AUGUSTA, Me., Sept. 14.
The election of to-day closed the
most exciting artd"most energetic cam
paign ever witnessed In Maine. The
vote is larger by some thousands than
ever before thrown. We have carried
every Congressional district, the closest
by 2,500 majority.
We have carried every county; re
gaining the three that were carried by
the Democrats last year. We have
elected EVERY Senator and seven
eighths of the House of Representa
tives, and have rolled up a popular
majority for Governor Chamberlain of
20,000! Our majority last year was
11,300, and our average majority for the
past twelve years has been 13,600. In
our great triumph of 1860 we had 16,-

_ - - Lue
most brilliant that was ever won by
the Republican party in Maine, and it
has been achieved over the most per

Democracy.
MAINE WILL THROW 30,000
MAJORITY FOR GRANT AND
COLFAX IN NOVEMBER.
JAMES G. BLAINE,
Cha [rump Republican Committee pt Mains.
Maine has tolled the death-knell of
the Democratic party. It has been the
index State in every Presidential cam
paign for thirty-five years. From the
days of Jackson to the daysof Lincoln
its voice has been recognized as a
prophecy. But at no period has the
Star of the East shone with a grander
significance, or lighted the way to a
sublimer or more substantial victory
than on Monday last. That Pennsyl
vania will respond to the magnificent
verdict of Maine is as certain as that
she re-echoed in her October elections
the voice of the same State in favor of
Andrew Jackson in 1832 and in favor
of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 and 1864.
This significance of this victory can
best be read in the disappointed expec
tations of the enemy. As late as the
7th of September, the New York
World, the leading organ of the De
mocracy, had an editorial article re-
viewing the canvass in Maine, which
closed with this prediction :
"That the approaching election will as-
Duce the Republican majority TO SOME
FIVE THOUSAND, IS, we think, as certain as
the election day comes, notwithstanding the
great exertions and the enormous amount of
money which the Radicals are sending to
that State to contest the result."
The following despatch was sent to
Gen. Grant at Galena, Ill.:
"Maine stands by you in peace as she
stood by you in war. She gives Chamber
lain 20,000 majority to-day, and will give
you 80,000 in November.
"JA.uss G. &inn;
"Chairman State Committee."
Later—Better Still I
As the returns come in the figures go
up, the Republican majority having
risen above 23,000! The telegrams
from Maine are something like Gen.
Gaarrr's despatches describing the cap
ture of LEE'S army, every fresh one hi
creasing the number of prisoners and
the amount of captured material of
war. The rebels in both cases seem to
have been taken front, flank, and rear !
Tux SIGNS OF rna Tatss.--A wen-in
fromed gentleman, who has Spent the last
ten days travelling through Pennailvania,
says that the Keystone State Is certain to
give a round Republican majority in Octo

ERBIUM EARTHQUAKE ON THE
COST OF PERU AND EQUADOR.
Destruction of Whole Cletes and over
30,000 Lives.
Nam YORK, Sept. l2.—The steamship
Guiding Star, from Aspinwall, bring the
following intelligence :
On the 13th ult. a terrible earthquake
visited the cities along the coast of Peru
and Equador, whereby thirty-two thousand
lives were lost, and property valued at
$300,000,000 was destroyed. A rumbling
sound preceded the earthquake, and the
sea was terribly agitated, and flooded the
land for a great distance.
Arequipa, a city of 35,000 inhabitants,
has passed away, scarcely a vestige of it
being left. Only 400 lives were lost there.
Arica, a town of 12,000 inhabitants, was
also destroyed, not a house being left stand
ing ; in this town 500 persons perished. A
tidal wave, forty feet high, rolled with ter
rific force on shore, carrying ships flitter
on land than was ever before known. The
United States storeship Fredonia capsized
and all on board were lost; she had on
board naval stores valued at $1,800,000 ;
she was rolled over and smashed to atoms.
The United States steamer Wateree was
carried half a mile inland, left high and
dry, but only one sailor was drowned.—
Owing to her great distance from the sea,
she can never be got afloat again.
The Peruvian corvette America was also
carried ashore, and thirty-three of her crew
were drowned. The American merchant
man Rosa Rivera, the English ship chan
cellor, and the French bark Edwards were
also lost.
The towns of Iquique, Moquega, Locum
bia and Pisaqua were all utterly destroyed.
Over GOO people perished at Iquique. The
Americans lost heavily, and are nearly to
tally rained.
The towns of Marra, San Pablo, Atum
tabui and Imutad are in ruins. Where the
town Coaticachi formerly stood is now a
lake. The people of these towns were al
most entirely destroyed. The towns of
Pancho, Puellaro and Cachiquanjo were
also destroyed. The dead bodies are so
numerous that the survivors have been
forced to fly from the stench of the putre
fying bodies. The shocks occurred on the
16th of August, and lasted only five min
utes.
POLITICAL ITEMS.
0. J. Dicky, Esq., has been nominated
for Congress by the Republicans of Lancas
ter, as successor to Mr. Stevens.
LErvkats from General Schenck give the
most encouraging accounts of the progress
4 4 ...,,mi nit i an in !thin nremtses a
glorious Republican success in that State.
Rum. Fonitzsr says that in the event .of
another contest he will burn no powder on
blacks while he can find-a white Radical to
bestow it on. He will need several large
kegs to treat the crowd in November.
Enamel:Ds of clerks in Washington who
have heretofore heel uncertain as to where
they stand politically have become ardent
Republicans since the Maine election. Still
they come.
IN the Republican procession at Bangor,
Maine, on Thursday last, was a wagon filled
with mutilated Union soldiers, bearing the
motto. "This is what we owe to the Dem-
ocratic party.!'
THE result of the Maine election has
given rise to a report that an effort will be
made by leading Democrats to prevail upon
Mr. Seymaur to withdraw, and at the same
time force Blair off the ticket.
ADMIRAL Pourer, says the New York
Herald, passed through Utica on Thurs
day, on his way to Niagara. The Admiral
does not in the least conceal his preferences
for Grant, and is outspoken a nd decided on
all the great issues of the day.
Gsw. Henry C. Deming told the Republl_
cans of Hartford a day or two ago, that he
"would as soon trust a sheep to the tender
mercies of wolves, a dove to the talons of a
hawk, or his family to the guidance of a
felon, as turn the Government over to the
men who fought four years to destoy it."
IN nearly every section of the South,
Democratic leaders are endeavoring to ca
jole the black man to vote the Democ ratic
ticket. At the North the black man is held
up by Democratic leaders as but one remove
from a ring-tailed baboon, and unfit for
political rights.
IN a recent speech Wade Hampton said
"The old. Government was honored at
home, and respected abroad ; taxation was
light, and plenty blessed the land."
If this were so, then why did Hampton
wage a furious, bloody and protracted war
to destroy "the old Government ?"
Tun leading Democrats of Ohio say that
the nomination of Vallandigham for Con
gress will cost them ten thousand votes in
that State. If he loses the party ten thous
and votes in Ohio he ought to lose them
two hundred thousand in the Union.—
Every movement made by the Democrats
since the 4th of July has been a blunder.
Tim N. Y. Sun (Independent) thus speaks
of the state of the political betting market :
"Immediately after his nomination, the
betting was two on Grant to one On Sey
mour. Then it changed to 120 on Grant to
80 on Seymour, and this is the best show
Seymour his ever had. Since then his
stock has gone back dreadfully in the bet
ting market, till now the quotations among
betting men are three on Grant to one on
Seymour."
id are the only States to be relied on—
even little Delaware wavers. It looks as if
the Democroey would distanced in the race
in November.
IN a conversation with the Herald
co
respondent during a stage-coach ride in
Virginia recently, General Lee stated that
unless the Democracy were successful in
the Presidential election the country would
be ruined,
Of comma. The party that with Lee at
its head tried to destroy the country, is just
the party to save it t With Hampton,
Forrest, Lee, and other sympathizers in
supreme power, not a wave of trouble
would eye; again roll mop ita peaceful

Ex-Govsasoa Ton, of Ohio, tells a good
story of Mr. Lincoln, apropos of the letter
of thanks sent by the President to Gover
nor Seymour after the Pennsylvania in
vasion. The Governor says that he sent
twice as many troops as Governor Sey
mour, and that he took Mr. Lincoln to task
for complimenting the latter, but saying
nothing to Idmself or Governor Morton of
Indiana. "Why Tod," replied Mr. Lin
coln, "I never thanked Mrs. Lincoln for a
cu . p of tea VI my life." This answer illus
trated so perfectly the fact that most Gov
ernors were expected to do their duty,
while there was some doubt of Governor
Seymour, that it was perfectly satisfactory
to the gentleman to whom it was addressed.
Tim Dc;troit PoBl has the following

REV. IL L. Dashiell, D. D., has been un

Tin President, Vice President, and every
member of the Rebel Government was a
Democrat. Every soldier - who, alter being
educated at the expense of the Government,
basely deserted the flag of hig country and
took up arms against it was a Democrat.—
Every member of both branches of the Re
bel Congress mutt a Democrat. Every man
in the North who sympathized with traitors
and treason in the South , during the late
civil war was a Democrat.
SIITYOUE . B "friends" are intent on riot
and disorder North as well as South. In
Philadelphia on Monday night they attacked
a Republican procession and five Republi
cans were seriously injured, four being shot
and another cat with an axe. - At Troy,
New York, on the same evening a Republi
can procession was assailed by the oppo
nents of peace.
Gssan.ti. N. B. Fortest, a negro trader of
Tennessee, thus speaks of the Union men
of the Sunth : "I am ashamed to own it that
they were nurtured on this soil. They are
too 1......rnr me to speak about, and 1 have
no words to express my contempt for them."
This talk reminds us of the dark days of
18G1.
