The Presidential Campaign Foil j or tlio
Old Rebel lA-uders.
From the N. Y. Jleraid.
With the opening of the Presidential cam
paign, and aa the hopus of the Demooratio
politicians of the South bein to revive, the
old Rebel leaders show their hands. Wade
Hampton at Charleston, Robert Toombs at
Atlanta, and others among the most prominent
Rebels at other places, have been making most
foolish and injurious speeches on the issues of
the past and present. They appeal to the
Rebel sympathies and memories of the South
ern people and Haunt the Relml Hag as the
emblem ot all that is heroio and noble. While
pretendiDg to denounce the radicals of the
frorth, they in reality denounce the whole of
the Northern people, Democrats as well as
Republicans, who entered into or favored the
War for the Union. They make their lost
cause a holy one and boast of the part they
took in it. They claim admiration when they
Chould BUe for lorgiveness for the bloodshed,
debt, and innumerable evils they have brought
upon the country, llowever disposed generous-minded
pceple of the North may be to
sympathize with them for their Bufferings and
disabilities, though brought upou themselves,
and however ready they may be to accord to
these Southerners the merit of bravery, they
cannot forget the bloodshed and horrors of a
great civil war, with the enormous burden of
debt now weighing heavily upon the North,
through the madness and crime of these same
Rebel leaders. There is a noble disposition to
Imiy the hatchet of war, and, for the welfare
Of both sections in the luture, to oultivate har
mony; but this cannot be while such foolish
men as Hampton and Toombs flaunt the Rebel
flag in the face of the Northern people.
The radical organs and leaders are de
lighted, of course, with these bombastic aud
foolish speeches of the old Rebels. They can
find nothing better to use in the political cam
paign, and they are using tbein with great
effect. Nothing will tend so much to defeat
the Democratic nominees both on the Presi
dential ticket and tor Congress. They will
neutralize all the effect of the reaction which
had set in against radical misrule, usurpa
tion, and extravagauce, for the war is yet
alive in the memcry of the people, aud the
consequences are yet felt too keenly to tole
rate such assumption and folly. We have all
along pleaded lor mercy to the South, have
opposed the proscriptive polioy of our radical
Congress, and have argued in favor of re
storation and harmony as best for both
seotions of the country; but our efforts
become paralyzed by the foolish
conduct of the Southern fire-eaters. There
was reaBon for a long time to commend the
moderation and reticence of the Southerners.
They seemed to realize their subjugated and
helpless oouditiou. More than once we had
occasion to speak of their prudence and mod
esty, and ot Wade Hampton's discreet conduct
In particular. Even at the Democralio Con
vention in this city they wisely remained in
the background. But the sudden burst of
rebel and sectional feeling to which we have
referred mast tend to destroy the good effect
. of all this. Not that ti-ere is any fear of
another rebellion. The war was too terrible
and the subjugation of the rebels too complete
to admit of such a thought. Nor can the conse
quences of the war in the destruction of
slavery, in the non-recognition of the Rebel
debt and in the recognition aud payment of
the Federal debt ever be reversed. All this
Las been fixed by the Constitutional amend
ment. But we want political peace and har
mony between the North and the South. We
want the bitterness and evils of the war to be
buried in oblivion. Foreign wars may be re
membered and commnmorated with satisfac
tion and even to a good purpose, like that of
our war with Great Britain, or the war of Inde
pendence, but not oivil wars, and least of all
fcy the vanquished and taose who cause them.
Should the Southern leaders continue in
their imprudent and suicidal course, the first
effect will be not only the election of the radi
cal Presidential ticket, but another radical
Congress also. Then the South will lose the
sympathy and aid of a large portion of the
conservative people of the North. Capitalists
will be more afraid of investing their money
in the South than they were before the war
and while slavery existed, and as a conse
quence that productive and beautiful section
will remain a comparative waste. Sectional
ill-feeling will be kept alive and increase. In
all probability local troubles may arise that
will call for or be made the pretext of military
rale, and though the Southern States may be
nominally reconstructed and restored, they
will be virtually under military authority.
Such are a few of the evils which must spring
from attempts on the part of the Rebel leaders
to keep up the old spirit of sectional hostility.
The Southerners are not out of the woods yet,
and we advise them to keep quiet. They hare
nothing to gain and much to lose by impru
dently keeping alive the memory and feeling
of the war. If Wade Hampton, Toombs, and
Other Rebel chiefs have not more sense, we
Lope the people may show that they have and
will repudiate such blind and dangerous
leaders.
War Democrats Speaking Out.
From the If. Y. ltmes.
The logical portion of the War Democrat
is expressed in the letter addressed to the
Central Democratic Committee 01 California
by one of its mrmbers. His convictions and
sympathies both separate him from a party
wlione policy is embodied in the New York
platform, aud whose chief standard bearer is
encumbered with the record of Horatio Sey
mour. The couree of the War Democracy during
the Rebellion proved their adherence to a
higher standard of allegiaure than any which
the party has ever set up. They left the party
because its influence as an organization was
exerted in opposition to the war; they voted
against its candidates as the exponents of a
policy which would have rendered the Rebels
practically victorious. They recognized as
paramount throughout their obligations to the
Union, and separated themselves from their
old associates to strengthen the Republicans.
While the conflict of arms lasted their aotive
cooperation was given to the Republican party.
The patriotio motives which impelled them,
In 1G4, to support Lincoln against McClellau
now point to the support of Urant in prefer
ence to Seymour. This would lie the caae
were they guided solely by the relative ante
cedents of the candidates. They would in
evitably prefer a soldier of the Union, whose
successes in the field derive additional bril
liancy from the magnanimity with which he
nsed . their advantages to a civilian who
perverted high official position to the base
uses of faction. As between (J rant and
(Seymour, judging of each by his publio
career, no consistent War Democrat cau long
Lei-Hate.
Passing from the candidates to the policy of
Le respective parties, it is equally manifest
hat all the considerations which originally
alienated the War Democrats from the
old!
Democratio organization, continue in
foroe. 1
Botmanr ia the candidate of a party whose
platform arraigns the measures employed by .
the Government in the proseontion of the war,
and whose object is the undoing, ana as far as
possible, the reversal of the results Involved
in the Union triumph. He is the representa
tive of a party which not only assails the
course sustained by War Demoorats, but
proposes to oonvert victory Into defeat, and to
confer substantial advantages of victory npon
enemies of the Union. Suoh a candidate,
nominated by such a party, on a platform
which oommita him to its worst characteristics,
can have no claim upon the respect of War
Democrats.
On the other hand, the Republican policy
involves the permanent control of loyal influ
ences in the Government, and the perpetua
tion of the legitimate gains of the war. It
upholds obligations lnourred in its ennduot,
and indicates the right of States which re
mained true to the Union to dictate the con
ditions of restoration. To support the Re
publican party now, therefore, is Biuiply to
carry to their proper end measures aud
principles which, during the Rebellion, com
manded the unswerving approval of the class
whose convictions are expressed ia Mr. Sib
ley's letter.
How Shall the National Debt 1)0 Paid I
From Vie ft. Y. Tribune.
We beg that it be distinctly understood that
the greenback question is not raised by us,
but that we discuss it because those who dis
agree with us will have it so. They insist
not only on discussing it themselves, but that
we also shall discuss it. The following is one
of the latest statements which have reached
us of their side of the question. W. A. B.
writes:
"We favor the payment of fhe debt of the
United (stales according to the letter and Bp rlt
of the law, i. e., Uin payment of t lie rive
twenty bonds in greenbacks, pledging ourselves
thai. If It chd be tlbinorjhlrHted turn, such la not
ine spirit of the law, we will abandon our post
lion, and cheerfully line our tffjrls to Induce
01 tiers to adopt a Just view of tne case yours, If
tl.nt bejum.
on tne luce of every logal-lender note of the
Untied BlHtc-H li the piniu tleou.raUon, 'This
note Is receivable lor nil rin s, julio and pri
vate,' except duties on Imports aud interest on
tbe public debt, which, of course, we Insist
shall be paid In gold. The nve-lwentv b.mds
were bought with Ibis plain s'atetneut staring
the purchHser In the face from oil' the very notes
which he paid In exchmiKef r the live-twenties.
Is It not Just that he shall receive his payment
In the same ?
"We favor the payment of the Five-twenties
in greenbacks. You nk us how, then, will we
pay the greenback? lu noltl, la the uttermost
farthing, when we cu; but mean time we will
avoid the ruinous Interest we pay at present.
"Rut the law declates I hat wo shall issue no
more than $100,000,000 or greenbacks. Very
well; we have In circulation only S3j0.000.00i).
We would Issue the other 850,00 ,U90. a i.d thus
save i,j,uuu,uuu per annum, in gold, as a begin
nlng."
Comments by the Tribune.
Our correspondent quotes a few word3 from
the original Legal-tender act, which he thinks
favors his view of the case. Let us quote
several times as many from the first section of
that act:
"And any holders ef said United States notes
depositing any sums not less man fifty dol
lars, or some multiple of fifty dollars, with the
ireHsurer 01 ine uutteu tit Ales, or either or the
Assistant Treasurers, shall receive therefor
an plicate certificates or deposit, one of which
may be tiantmillted to the Secretary of the
.treasury, wuu ruil tneroupuo tu tlio
noiuer an equal amount 01 ooi.au or tue uullua
Btntes, coupon or registered as may by said
holder be desired, bearing luterest ui the rate
of six per centum per aunum, aud redeemable
ai tne pleasure ot tne untieu mates atter live
j ears, and payable twenty years from the date
thereof."
Here it will be seen that, by the express
terms of the original Legal-tender act (Feb.
25, 18U2), every greenback was fundable at
the pleasure of the holder in Five-twenty
bonds. How can you pretend that, while every
bolder ot greenbacks was entitled by law to
exchange them for an equal amount in Five-
twenty bonds, those bonds could the next
hour be paid off in his despite in greenbacks f
Do you not see that this would utterly nullify
and destroy the privilege of funding the
greenbacks, which was a chief element of their
value j
--Now look at another provision of that
same Legal-tender act:
"Bectlon 5. And be It further enacted. That
all duties on Imported goods shall be paid In
coin, or In noles payable on demand, therefor
authorized to be Issued, and by law receivable
In payment of public dues, and the coin so oald
shall be set apart as a special fund, and shall be
appiieu hh loiiows:
"First To the payment In coin oftlielnte
rest on the bonds aud notes of the United
biates.
"teecond To the purchase and payment of
one per centum oi the eutire debt or the United
Htales, to be made wltnln eaou fiscal year after
the first day ot Jaly. eighteen hundred and
sixty-two, which Is to be net apart as a sinking
fuud.aDd the interest of whicu shall In like
manner be applied to the purchase or payment
or me puoiic ui as ine necreiary or tue Trea
sury shall from time to time direut.
"lhira The n sui no thereof lobe paid Into
the ireusury of the United States."
Here you see a provision of com not
merely to pay all the interest, but to pay at
least one per cent, or the principal of the en
tire national debt, In each nscal year beginning
wnn lbbz. vo you propose to abide by that
part oi tne bargain r
The act further prescribed, as yon quote,
that the greenbacks ''shall also be lawful
money and a legal tender in the payment of
all debts, public and private, within the
United States." The avowed, notorious ob
ject of this provision was to give those notes a
higher current value than they would other
wine possess. But your construction tends
not to increase, but diminish their value
That depended originally on their beine
legal tender and on their being fundable in
five-twenty bonds. If, instead of being thus
fundable, the five-twenties may be paid off in
greenbacks, their value would be Blender
indeed.
We know that the meaning which our corre
spondent and others puts npon the Legal
tender act is not the intent of those who passed
it. Mr. Stevens, in urging the passage of the
Legal-tender act, at least four times asserted
that the five-twenties were payable after
twenty years in coin; so said several of his col
leagues on the Committee of Ways and Means,
and no man demurred. We thus prove that
no such meaning was intended by those who
framed and passed the bill.
Now, then, let ns look at facts about which
there is no dispute.
When the bonds were to be taken, the ques
tion was publicly asked "How are they to be
paid f May they not be paid in greenbacks ?"
and Secretary Chase replied, 'Ho; they are
to be paid at maturity in coin." This satis
fied the doubters aud silenced the cavilers, and
the Jbonds were taken on the strength of thia
assurance, which was reiterated by Secretaries
Fesseuden and McCulloch successively. All
those whose busiuess it was to get people to
take the bonds repeated these assurances.
Were we not warranted in so doing ? Consider
the facts above stated and judge. .
Now, then, the bends were taken on the faith
of these acts, these assurances. The foreign
holders of a large portion of them never saw
a greenback many of them never heard of
one. lhey were offered our bonds very cheap,
and bought them. These promised to pay so
many dollars per annum interest aud so
many dollars principal after live aud within
twenty years. Theje was nowhere a hint that
the principal was payable otherwise, or In other
currency than tbe interest. With what honor,
with what honesty, can they be paid other
wisef
P. vmant. tit Informal, tw nnln fa 'I.nlnnni 1
We have paid every farthing, thus far. and
have paid off (250,000,000 Of principal of the
debt, beside at least 9100,1)00,000 of war
bounties, state claims, etc., etc. W have
paid not less than $100,000,000 pr annum of
national debt, beside interest, since the Rebel
armies surrendered. .At this rate, twenty
five years more wonld pay every dollar that
we owe, without fraud and without shame.
Better by far that we should have been beaten
by the Rebels than that we should now prove
ourselves a naticn of swindlers. Bat we mast
not, we will not. We have saved the Union;
we shall now save onr faith and our honor.
The Riullcnl Triton.
From the N. Y. World.
Hear you this Triton of the minnows f
Mark you his absolute 'shall V " The Ameri
can people propose to pass upon the hasty
last year's legislation ot a violent and revolu
tionary Congress. They propose to elect a
Democratic President aud a Democratic House
of Reprsentatives. They propose to restore
the Constitution and the Union. And here
gets me np Mr. Horace Greeley, in the Tribune,
and nourishing Hi lists ferociously in the
faces of his countrymen, screums oat that the
American people shall do ho such thing; that
the American people are bound hand aul foot
by the aots of the Fortieth Congress, which
Stand to them in the stead or rrovldeuoe aud
of history: that if they choose a President to
execute their will, that President shall not be
allowed to execute their will, but that, on the
contrary, he shall be coerced into being the
"minister oj laws which he disapproves and
the servant oi a Senate whioh refuses to trust
him."
Tbe "servant of the Senate," quotha?
This is the radical plot then f The radical
oligarchy in the Senate, propose, do they, to
nullify the will of the American people deli
berately expressed in a great Presidential
election, and to treat as their "servant" the
chosen Chief Magistrate of the Republic the
constitutional Commauder-in- chief of the
Army and Navy of the United States ? Have
they, then, made their arrangements witn
some unconstitutional Commandr-iu-cUef of
the Army of the United States, for the purpose
of using him to carry out this audacious plan
of revolution ? Was this the meaniug of
General Grant's nomination f Was he selected
(a radical defeat at the polls being
cleat ly foreseen by the party leaders) as
the only candidate who could be relied upou
in case of defeat to make an armed stand with
the Senatorial oligarchy in opposition to the
popular will? If this be not so, from whence
gets our Triton his absolute "shall ?"
If the talk of the T ibute be not the wildest
rhodomontade, it is the incautious revelation
of a deliberate resolve on the part of the radi
cals to impose their au hority upon this nation
for four years more by force of arms. That
there are men, and very conspicuous men,
among the radical leaders who would not
hesitate to plan such a conspiracy as this
against the rights and liberties of their fellow
citizens is no secret. For that matter, the
open and cynical way in which the radical
majority at Washington have thrown to the
dogs even the pretence of keeping the
pledged faith of the nation as to the objeots
of the recent war, stares ns nil tn tUs fa.., to
show that there is no possible curb for the
encroachments of these men npon law and
right but the curb of their fears. They
have availed themselves of the saddest
legacies of the war, of Its bitterest passions
and animosities, to blind the Northern people
into acquiescing in a policy whioh has reduced
eleven American States to a political condition
as degraded as that of tbe Polish provinces of
Rnssia. It is only a question of courage whe
ther they will attempt to carry out the pro
gramme thus published by the Tribune, and to
void the election of a Demooratio President by
the will of a Senatorial oligarchy acting in cou
cert with the "General of the Armies." We
do not believe they will dare undertake to
do it. The Democratic President and the
Democratic Representatives whom the people
will put into power next November will be
put into power for the express purpose of re
ducing to order and to deoenoy these radioal
rebels against the Constitution aud the laws;
and what the people elect them to do they
will do, though all the Sumners rage and all
the Drakes imagine vain things. And of one
thing be sure that the election of Seymour
and Blair has been made, and that it
is felt by the people to have been
made a political necessity by precisely
this lawless, insolent, threatening, and trucu
lent temper of the radicals in and out of Con
gress. Their Triton blows too loud. The
American people over-taxed, fettered, both
ered, tormented in all sorts of ways by the
political despots whom the Tribune truckles
to and serves are in no mood to be bullied
out of their one last retutdy by any such Tri
ton as this

On the Defensive.
FtomtheW. Y. I'ummeivuU Advertiser.
There is a gentleman tarrying at Bedford
Springs, Pa , who is not at all pleased with
the manner in which his party is conducting
the campaign. He give vent to his displea
sure in a letter to the New York Express, Irom
which we quote:
' I am quite Mire the Democrats

We sympathize with the above gentleman
in his tribulations. There are a good many
others in a similar frame of mind. Bat we
know ot no remedy now. The Tammany Con
vtntiou made the bed for the party, and there
the "faithful" must lie while urant goes
marching on.
It is very tasy to give advice, but not so easy
to act npon it. Tammany elected that Demo
cracy fchould be made sviionymous witu revo
lution. The Convention succumbed to the
later Rebel leaders, and permitted thein to
force a platform upon it, which is odious to
every loyalist and man of honor, and to desig
nate candidates who&e nuniis are a standing
menace to every peaceable law-abiding citizen.
Marshaled under such Geuerals, fighting
under such a Hag, and so buuxliugly arrauged
in line of battle, the rank and file of Democracy
Lave no other choice but to light on the de-feui-ive,
aad at lad line in coin union from the
lield. Instead of making au assault here aud
there, penetrating their antagonists' lines,
throwing out skirmishes to the riijht and left,
and finally moving forward in battle's "mag
iiillotutly ateru array," they are compelled to
remain etrlotly on the defensive, and erect
breastworks until November, when the foe
ill bear down upon them in overwhelming
foroe, routine horse, foot and draeoon. and
capturing everything, bag aud baggage.
By au ordinary display of Bhrewdne.'i and
tact, the Tammany leaders might have averted
this irretrievable dilemma In which their party
is now placed. Many Republicans were dis
satisfied with tbe extreme course of some of
the leaders, with Congressional reconstruction,
with the attempted imneaohment. and with
other things. The Democrats were not slow to
perceive this, and earlier In the season they
were most exultant over the prospeot of what
they htyled "the demoralization and dU
ruptlou of the radical party." Prior to the
assembling of tbe Chicago Convention, they
looked upon victory as already assured. When,
however, that body steered clear of the Batlers
and Stevenses, and following the wise counsels
of General Schurz, disappointed the foe by
giving us a platform and candidates npon whom
all Republicans and loyalists coald harmonize,
the ardor of the Democracy was considerably
dampened. The proceedings of the New York
Convention finally dispelled all their dreams of
success aud eouuded the death knell to all
their hopes. Their vantage ground was swept
completely from under them in the twinkliug
of au eye. From being on the offensive, they
were suddenly placed on the defensive, where
they will remain until the close of the cam
paign. In the short space of three days the
Democratic leaders assembled on Fourteenth
street, completely reversed the political situa
tion, lost all the advantage aud elan which the
party bad acquired through Republican im
prudence and short-sightedness, and insured
to tbe latter party far more than it had lost
through the folly of some of its leaders. We
now enter upon the campaign with the confi
dence, buoyancy, hope, and determination
which insure victory.
But assuming that there was nothing in the
Tammany Convention particularly objection
able or inconsistent with the Democratic papers
and speakers following the advice of the Bed
ford gentlemau and assuming the offensive
not a day passes without bringing something
which must be apologized for. Every time
Frank Blair opens his mouth he necessarily
incurs a whole broadside of explanations and
apologies from the Democratio press. Every
time he puts his hand to a pen be writes seu
tern.es which fairly wilt his would-be sup
porters, and cause them to quail before tue
effect which they must have on the country.
Would that Frank might be preserved in
"lemons and whisky" until the end of
the campaign, is the prayer of many
Noithern Democrats. And there too ae
Hampton, aud Forrest, and PreBton, and
Vayce, and Wise, and Bowie, and Pike, and
fifty others who will persist notwithstanding
the efforts made to choke them off in airing
themselves and the Convention, in demon
strating how they run the Tammany machine,
and made the platform and nominations, and
in explaining that the whole proceedings mean
revolution, dispersion of Congress at the
point of the bayonet, the overthrow of esta
blished laws, and the attaining ot the ends for
which the Confederacy fought.
It would have been just as reasonable for
Jeff. Davis to have required of Lee to
assume the offensive when he was totally sur
rounded on the head waters of the Appomat
tox, as it now is to demand of the Demooratio
party to abandon the defensive with such a
llfcttorin, and with snoh candidates and haclerm.
