We aubiriit tils following as the
mor$ itilrdpriiitiJ version of the Dem
ocratic pronuncianiento:
- The Democratic- party,- - believing
itself tho worst whipped party that
ever had political existence unless they
succeed in humbugging the people ami
not forgetting that the Constitution is
u goo 1 thing to talk about but a poor
afliiir to stick to if there is any tarring
and feathering of "Yankee sohool
murins" to bo done, nnd "that slavery
and secession have been settled for all
time to conio by the war, or the volun
tary action of the Southern States,
never to be renewed or re-agitated,"
until we are restored to power and en
abled to reverse the decision of that
war wc so heartily opposed, "do with
tho return of peace, demand :"
First, "Immediate restoration" of
I cniocjney to power, by admitting the
Southern States to a representation
giving Florida tho same power that
New York has in Congress, according
to the theory of firmer times that "one
Southerner is cjual to a dozen mud
sills of the North!"
Second, Democracy having a perfect
right in their own minds to innugurate
a civil war, tho most bloody of mod
ern times, iu the attempt to enforce its
principles upon tho nation, must be
forgiven and restored to its normal cit
izenship, and those in Southern States
who were known as loyalists placed
under its absolute control.
'lli'ud, A debt contracted in the
i prosecution of a Democratic war is not
binding upon the originators neither
have public creditors any rights which
as individuals every honest man is
bound to respect. Thunders of Ap
plause. FovrUt, Notwithstanding the law
may be more plausible and our
schemes of infamy moro complete.
I'assion and prejudice will be effective
where reason mid Common Sense fail.

John lasey, of Iuzcrne county, Fa.,
whom wc put ont of the way for tes
tifying to our frauds in tbe 21st Dis
trict lost fall, before a Republican In-
ware :
"In demanding these measures and
reforms we arraign the Radical party
for its" regard "of right and tho un
parallcllcd oppression and tyranny"
from which it has been its fortune to
relieve the country. After Congress
endorsed the resolution of a Democrat
that the war bo prosecuted solely for
the "maintainance of the Union under
the Constitution" Democrats failed to
como to the support of tho North, by
enlisting in its armicJ, compelling the
Chief Executive to issue a proclama
tion destroying slavery, thereby en
abling them to recruit their ranks,
cripple a strong military power of the
South, and save the Union. This,
with the plea of tlie Republicans thaw
martial law should confront Dem
ocratic rebellion, and that our national
safety excused them for taking milita
ry measures," constitutes ' bur ' whole
offense. , If the men of all parties ice
in these "demands" a cause for alarm
wc are "gone suckers !"

A TitK.VTY is about to be ratified

Tub rendlotou Democrats are con
soling themselves with the reflection
that while Pendleton could not be
nominated, Seymour cannot bo elected-
The editor of the Kansas Chief
thinks that Gonernl liuckner, of the
Ijouisville Courier acts ungrateful in
not going for Grant, ns Grant "went
for" him at Fort Donelson!
The Pendleton escort went back
homo tired, ragged nnd dirty. They
got $20 apiece for cheering for Pen
dleton in New York, but Seymour
and bad whiskey laid them out.
Dkmociutic papers are advertis
ing for "intelligent negroes" to stump
the South among the blacks for their
ticket. P-r-c-p-o-s-t-e-r-i-o-u-s! On
ly think of that, ye Democrats of
Greene !
It is not definitely ascertained
whether Sedgwick will adopt "Tom
Rose's" diction for his stump speeches
this fall, or accept that of Mr. Phclan,
who never mado any speeches, but had
them carefully entered upon tho lie
cord. lie would command either
equally well.
"I AM waiting to see if the people of
this country are going to elect Horatio
Seymour, and if they do I will swear
that I lost my arm in a threshing ma
chine, not in tho defenso of my coun
try." Thus spake a brave soldier who
will follow his leader Grant.
Ghaxt will get tho vptos of the
Confederate soldiers who served hon
orably in tho war. Among them
Ijongstreet, who was to tho South and
Leo what Nny was to France and Na
poleon. Ho says "Grant was a square
antagonist! promising littlo but per
forming a great deal I"
Seymour, in response to tho Com
mittee tendering him tho candidacy
asd platform of Repudiation, said
"they arc in accord with my wish, and
so I will stand upon them." Honest
Democrats, therefore, need not be de
luded in tho belief that by voting for
Seymour they vote against repudiation.
It is a fact worthy of note, that gen
erally Republican journals have pub
lished tho Democratic platform to
their readers, whilst tho Republican
platform is not published by our op
poncnts,only garbled to bo commented
upon in their usually felicitous style.
They aro afraid of the sunlight of
Truth ! v
Tub Cincinnati Gmmcix'ud say3
that Seymour's nomination after his
repented declinations calls to mind
Corwin's observations at the nomina
tion of Polk. "After this no one is
safe. A man goes to bed a respected
citizen, and ho arises in tho morning
and finds himself a candidate of the
Democratic party for tho Presidency."
W. B. Maxk, who has shown him
self an expert at "putting up" conven
tions, was compelled to resign the
nomination for District Attorney by
the constituency ho would misrepre
sent. This harmonizes Philadelphia
Republicans. The fact is, Republi
cans everywhere would work better if
men were made to realizo that office
is not fur life in this country.
Brick Pomeroy comes out in an
article headed "Blood Money!" in
which lie says $100,000 were used by
Seymour's friends to buy bis nomina
tion in New York. Brick ought to
know, and as his paper has a larger
circulation than any other Democratic
newspaper, his opposition to the ticket
will perhaps result in harm to that
party. Tbe question now is, how
much did tho delegates from this sec
tion get for their votes? We should
like to know. .
They had a ratification meeting in
Richmond. - Gov. Vance spoko at
great length. His Idea was that what
the Confederacy . fought for would be
won by the election of Seymour and
Blair. He was followed by Governor
Wise, whose greatest expression was
that he did not care for the platform.
It told a lip, in its first resolution. It
said accession was dead; that was not
so; secession was more alive than ever.
He supported the nominees, and espe
cially Blair, because he had declared
that he would assume military power.
We call the attention of patriotic Dem
ocrats to these, fact.

Another plank is contained in the
Democratic platform which though
hidden by the verbwitv of the text is
clearly enough expressed by Gen. liluir
in his Iirodhead letter bidding for the
nomination, lie understood well the
real feeling of tho moil he had to deal
with when ho proclaimed Repi'dia
Tiox and Revoi.ctiox as Jia'ardinal
principles. Nor is its stgiiificancc
lessened by tho fact that a largo ma
jority of their journals copy tho letter
with approval. By nominating Blair,
the Democratic party incorporated
revolution in their platform. 1 low can
his election bring pence to the country?
On the other hand does it not forebode
war? Whatever tho result of the
Presidential election may be Republi
cans will control in one or both
branches of Congress, making it an
impossibility for Blair to efliwt his
threats except by force of arms. 1Vhat
Democrat or Republican wishes it to
come to this? Have wc not had
enough such talk and enough of its
results? Has it 'not been demonstra
ted that Democrats do not hesitate be
tween peace, and war if it stand in the
way to power? Choose between them,
and when you vote know thnt you
vote for Seymour, Blair nnd Revolu
tion, or Grant, Colfax and Pence!
Ulti:i:.MIA('KS l'OK DOXIIS,
Statesmen of tho firnt talent and
ability are divided and puzzled on the
question of finance involved in the
issue of greenbacks for bonds. Not
withstanding this there are those iu
our midst who by their talk compre
hend the whole theory. These dema
gogues prato to the gaping crowds
about "bloutid bondholders, money
kings," and "aristocrats," not with
tho hope of impressing even their
views upon them, but solely to arouse
jealousy among classes by appeal to
the baser passions. Thoy should be
hooted down by sensible men. Let
the question of contract between the
nation ami individuals, the same ns
controversy between man ami man, be
decided by our Courts. This is its
rightful sphere, and whera it must
come eventually, with all the bluster of
stump orators to tho effect that the
pooplo shall decide it in the heat of a
political contest.
' Leaving (lie Old Hulk.
In different parts of tho country the
stampede from tho ranks of Democ
racy to the stan lard of Grant has
already commenced. Seventy-five vot-j
crs of the Democrat ia persuasion came
in a body to u Republican caucus atj
Auburn, Maine, a few evenings since,
and announced their intention to work I
and vote with the Republican party in
the future.
The Ogdonsburg Journal says: A
gentleman of this town, herotof'oro one
of the strongest Democrats in Election
District No. 1, declared in our pres
ence on Wednesday his determination to
vote for General Grant. J Icsays there
is no use of trying to disguise the fact
that the people are for tho hero of
Vicksburg, Fort Donelson, and Rich
mond. There aro other Democrats in
in the vicinity who have made up their
minds to voto for Grant.
The Boston Journal s.iya: A prom
inent member of tho Democratic party
said, last night: "I have talked to over
a hundred Democrats this afternoon
and evening, and they nil think ns I
do that no houe?t man can vote for
Sevmotir, and no white man for Frank
Blair."
The Chase Club, of the city of New
York, composed of Conservative Rc-
fmblieans and dissatisfied Democrats,
lave formally indorsed the nomination
of Grant and Colfax. This may be
taken as ono of tho straws which in
dicate the set of the political mind.
The 2focZo,-d(Ill)C(Ketfc statcsthat
upward of 100 Democrats a majority
of them Fenians took' part in the
Republican primary elections of that
city, the week previous, and pledged
themselves to voto for Grant and Col
fax. Hon. J. W. Jjordon of Indianap
olis, who of late years Jiad cast his lot
with tho Democracy, is unable to swal
low tho Seyrnour-Blair prescription,
and says that he shall vote for Grant
and Colfax.
It is confidently stated that Gen.,
John A. Dix, now American Minister
at Paris, is one of the thousands of war
Democrats who, in refusing to sup
port Seymour and Blair, will heartily
sustain Grant and Colfux.
The Tipton Tones, the most influ
ential Democratic paper in the Vlllth
Indiana District, throws overboard
Seymour nnd Blair.
Lee's Boast. (
Tho Independent says : New York
will never see such a crowd as that
which was brought together by the
Democratic Convention of 1868. It
was a rather wild boast of the rebel
leader four years ago that he would wa
ter his horses in the Delaware, but he
has more than made good his promise,
by sending his men to New York to
nominate a President for 1869. . It
matters not who tho Democratic can
idate may be, he is tho candidate of the
rebellion.-' ' . ' ';.--.

A Democratic journal having made
the assertion that Henry Word Beech-
er advocated tho nomination ofdiaso
for tho Presidency, the Reverend
gentleman thus replies to tho charge:

Ambition lifts some men towards things
noble and good; makes them largo and
generous. ' Other men's ambition blurs
the sharp lincsand distinctions between
right and wrong, and leaves them, in
the eagerness of over selfish desires, to
bo mo ( prey of bad mon. I have
for years felt that Mr. Chase's ambi
tion was consuming the better elements
of his nature. I havo liked Grant'
from tho first. . Solid, unpretentious-
straight forward, apt to succeed, wiso
in discerning men, skillful in using
them, with the rare gift (which Wash
ington had in an -eminent degree) of
wisdom in gcttingisdom from other
men's counsels I confidently antici-
finta that, great as his military success
ias been, ho will hereafter bo known
evermore favorably for the wisdom of
his civil administration. The seven
fold hiimanifations nnd recantations
through which Chase was required to
go for a D.miocratio nomination, on'y
to sea tho smiling Seymour looking
benignly down upon his lost estate,
has scarcely a parallel. Thero will bo
no third candidate between Grant and
Seymour. It will bo a fair fight be
tween rugged honesty ami plausible
emit. ;
