The Work ItVforc Us.
From Hie W. Y. Tribune.
This is t.h lst of SfptijQbtr. Nine weeks
from to day tLie iiouWi'a' voted will deuide who
pLall be their lVi.iil.-ut Bud their Vioe-Piesi-
dent reppeolively tor lour years (rem the 4th
of March nxt. How very fir we are from be
ing ready for that ordeal, the intelligent well
know.
Our National and State nominations were
. made early, as was right. They were received
With very general and hearty approval. Gene
ral Grant had alieijr been nominated for Presi
dent by the jeoile, so that the Couvention
bad no duty but to ratify the popular choice.
The selections of Messrs. Colfax. Griswoll.
and their associates, are abundantly proved
wise ana nappy, we are consciously strong,
and therein is our chief danger.
The Reason has thus far been a very busy
one. The persistent cold and wet of May and
June threw the spring work of our farmers
far into summer. They were a good month
behindhand on the 1st of June; and they
Lave been workiug hard ever siuoe to reoover
that month, which most of them have at
length done. Our mechanics also, but espe
cially those who are engaged In house-building,
have generally been driven this season as
they never were btfore. The gamblers and
loafers, who have abuudant leisure, are gene
rally against us; the men who thrive by use
ful industry are largely with us; aud thesa
Lave never been moie absorbed in their daily
avocations than this season. Hence, our poli
tical work is less advauoed than it ought to be
at the beginning i autumn.
True, we have held many meetiugs gene
rally good, and often unexpectedly large; bat
mass meetings only iucite to work; the work
Still remains to be done. True, we have or
ganized many clubs; but we have yet to
organize clubs in at least half the townships in
the Union. And that is the work immedi
ately before us.
As ye', we have had to struggle against a
Very general and sanguine presumption that
DO effort is seeded. Tne masi of our voters
cannot be made to realize the possibility of
Grant's defeat. They know that many Demo
crats proclaimed him their candidate for Pre
sident long betor he received any formal
nomination. They kuow that Line tenths of
those voters who are not partisans are in
stinctively Grant men. If there be a township
Which contains 150 pronounced Republicans,
With as many Democrats, and 25 voters whe
are neither, but vote habitually for the beat
men, that townsLip will cast at lest 170 votai
for Grant. Wo American needs to be told who
urant is, nor what lie has done to commend
him to popular favor and confidence. He is
emphatically the people's man, and will poll
more votes on personal ground 4 than any
President since George Washington. That
there are and have been more voters who de
sire Grant's than theie are who favor Sey
mour's eleotion, we have never doubted.
But the Copperheads are ravenously hun
gry and utteily unscrupulous. Afteryearsof
famine, Johnson's apostacy has given them a
taste of fresh bloo. They are determined to
win at all hazards; aud they will do it by
fraudulent naturalizations and by dodble
voting, if th:y can.
Here, then, is seen the necessity for a better
and more thorough organization. We cannot
stop their cheating without it. We have or
ganized, in half the wards and townships
throughout the country; but the adversary
can cheat us enough to beat us in the residue,
if we do not organize there also.
Hitherto, blind trust has been made an ex
cuse for indolence. VGraut csm't Ue beaten
by "such a man as Seymour," has been the
cry of all the do-nothings. If we do not mis
read the signs, they are likely to have thrtir
confidence rudely ( hocked within the next six
weeks. Tor, while the friends of General
Grant are abundantly able to secure his eleo
tion by proper effort, it is a grave mistake to
imagine that he can or will be eleoted without
such effort. And this we look to see demon
strated alike by our successes and our re
verEes in the October elections. We may in
stance the Teriitory of Colorado, where an
election is to be held one week hence, and
Where the Republicans aot as though intent
on defeating their candidate for delegate in
Congress. When they shall have done it,
they will tell us how strong Grant is with
them, and what a majority they could give
him if they were in the Union t Very likely
they could; but such support as theirs would
' never make him President.
We know, as every one knows, that General
Grant is stronger than his party, and will poll
thousands of votes that will not be given to
our local candidates in the September and
October elections. But let him poll ever so
many, he will nevertheless be defeated by
monstrous frauds, unless there be seasonably
effected a thorough organization of his sup
porters. uch organization in half the towns
will simply restrict the meditated frauds to the
other hali; it will nowise defeat them.
We speak frarikiy; for the crisis is very
grave, and the necessity for action uigent.
We can certainly elect Grant and Colfax, if we
can keep down illegal voting throughout the
Union to one per cent, of the total; we shall
be beaten if it shall be swelled to five per
cent, or over. We can keep it down so that
it shall be harmless, if we can have euch an
organization throughout the country that we
6hall surely get out our full legal vote and
keep out the illegal votes whioh in default of
due preparation, exertion, and vigilanoe, will
inevitably be polled against us.
Friends of Grant and Colfax 1 we need an
effective, working, wide-awake club in every
township 1 Even where we are a small
minority, we can keep out illegal votes by so
organizing that minority that they will know
beforehand who are and who are not legal
voters in their respective districts, and be on
hand when the poll opens, prepared to chal
lenge sternly and prosecute fearlessly. Will
you, who are already well organized, look at
onoe to the towns around you whioh are not,
and see that they, too, 6hall speedily have
followed your excellent example f
The President and the South.
From the N. Y. Times.
"Andrew Johnson to the Resoue" Is the
heading with which Mr. John Forsyth Intro
duces to the readers of the Mobile Register
the followtnt df epatuh, credited to correspond
ence of the Louisville Journals

On this despatch the Register remark?:
. "The Influence Hint uncu h piillny on tin put

of affair Jn Tenrtr-ssee and all the Brtnthern
P-tatf. cm bnrdiy he estimated, even by Iixmj
wbo are dlreotly interested. "
That one part of the statement is true, th
mote recently reported interview of the Presi
dent with a reactionary delegation frj'JQ
Teni)psse has clearly proved. The doctrine
attributed by the Louisville Journal's inform
ant to Mr. Johnson is identical with that which
he expounded the other day for the enoj ir
acement of the lawless element which ch ilea
under the repressive mtapurea of Governor
Browniow. it is evident that Mr. Johnsoi is
inclined as far ai possible to weaken the au
thority of the bouthern Kxeoutives; and the
oversight of Congress in allowing a provisioa
to continue which was ennoted uuder entirely
different circumstances, affords both a pretext
and an opportunity which he will not hesitate
to turn to the accouutor the Democratic party.
The proposed removal of General Thomas.
and the substitution of a commatfder more
clearly in political fellowship with the Presi
dent, is in keeping with other parts of the
Sdieme. XNot oniywould he deprive the loyal
Goverrment of the means of maintaining their
authority, but he desires to place tbe uatiouat
troops under commando whoe bias is toward
the Democracy.
We agree with Mr. Forsyth that if this
policy be ,lflimly adhered to and vigorously
carried out" by the President, its elhot will
'not be limited to Tennessee. Its iull innee
throughout the South will be so immediate
and so great that it "can hardly be esti
mated." Whatever it amounts to. we nnv be
f ure that it will be a'together on the side of
the oisaueeted element, and that its exurci.e
will be prejudicial to the rights and interests
of tbe loyal people. Tbe satisfaction which
the prospec t affords to the Rebel Press indicates
tbe light in which Mr. Johnson's course in re
gard to the maintenance of peace is viewed at
the South.
The subject Is a grave one, and one which
official wroi'gbeadednnss may at any moment
swell into gigantic proportions. The telegram
from Aikausaa via St. Louis Is, we trust, au
f xapgeration, if not an invention. But it were
criminal to ignore the danger of collision
which exists there, as elsewhere in the South,
in consequence of the aggretmive spirit which
the proceedings of the hew York Convention,
and the known sympathies Of Mr. Johnson hve
imparted to the Democracy. They were obsti
nate before; they are now drfimt. And nothing
but.extreme care, and the adoption of afwiser
course by the President will awert very serious
trouble. It is not pleasant to confess the faot,
but nothing can be gained by closing our eyes
to its existence. . Disloyalty manifests itself
in lorms wnicb constantly grow worse; and the
duty of the President is certainly not per
formed when be takes counsel with, aud in
effect supports those who are hostile to loyal
rule. To be balfahearted or indifferent would
be bad enough at a time wLhd the maintenance
of order in ten or eleven States is, in a large
degree contingent on the course of Federal
authority. But the position is infinitely mors
serious when', as at present, the party whose
plans imperil peace are able to point to th
President as a sympathizer and a possible ally.
'egro fciiffrag-e Irreversible.
From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
The policy of enfranchising the Southern
blacks is being vindicated more speedily aud
effectively than its most sanguine supporters
could Lave anticipated. Aocounts from South
Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, aud, in faot, alt
the Southern States, represent that the negroes
are much botjer treated than ever before, and
that the planters and. politicians epare no
pains to conciliate them, in order to obtain
their votes for the defeat of the radicals. Now,
it was always one of the most effective argu
ments in iavor of negro franchise that it was
necessary as a protection to the black race. It
was desirable, if not necessary, to give, the
blacks political power, in order to render them
Eecure in their newly -Acquired privilege of
emancipation.
Since the Demoorats carried the Mississippi
election by the aid of black votes, there has
been a wonderful abatement in Southern con
tempt for free negroes and black voters. The
fretdmen are flattered, if not cajoled, for their
votes, and barbecues, the especial delight of
the negro heart, are the order of the day. The
objections against negro suffrage are lost sight
of in tbe anxiety to catch the negro vote.
The Southern whites have found out that
the negroes can be used as instruments of their
ambition, and this fact may be regarded as
constituting an irreversible guarantee for negro
suffrage at first, and other privileges In due
time. It is doubtful whether even Frank Blair,
were he greater than he is ever likely to be,
could roll back accomplished events in the
South, and take the franchise from the ne
groes. Powerful parties will always exist in
the South, to which the negro vote will be
necessary.
This fact is a great triumph for the Repub
licans, even though they should lose every
Southern StUe. Their work will remain be
hind them to be perpetuated and improved
upon by the very men who were formerly its
most bitter opponents. Even if tae recon
structed Governments In the South should be
overthrown by the issue of the Presidential
campaign, negre suffrage will remain to
modify and mould the luture destinies of
that section.

Rebels" to have any hand in the work. All
that was needed was for the existing State
legislatures 10 taKe oatn to support the Con
stitution, and tbe work would have buen ac
complished. President Lincoln at first favored
arch action by the Legislature of Virginia;
but the radicals raised uch a din of flerc re
monstrance that he quickly changed his mind.
When General Sherman reoeived the surrender
or Johnston he bad(uot heard of Mr. Lincoln's
change of purpose, ' and followed what he
supposed was to be the model set by ths
President in Virginia. Nobody oan have
forgot the tremendous howl of indignation
which resounded throughout the Worth.
Kepublicans denounce 1 General Sherman as
a traitor. The Secretary of War used the
telegraph to publish that great soldier as a
iranor. ine cry was taKen up ani echoed
ny uancroit, tne nistorlan, in a speech de
nvered in tblj city. The whole radical nartv
was shocked and appalled, was horriflnd, in
dignant, and furious at the idea that "rBbHl
legislatures" were to be made instruments of
rstormg the Union. The same intolerant
tat ling was manifested towards all who had
taken any part in the Rebellion, aud particu
larly us leaders. Aua now the Tribune has
the absurd assurance to turn round and abuse
the Southern leaders because thev have not
lent their aid to build up a new order of
things I
Alter all these years of turmoil and disor
ganization, the radicals are at last beginning
to find out that stable reconstruction is impos
sible without the active co-operation of the
leading men of the South. Almost the whole
white population took part in the Rebellion,
and the same leaders whom they then followed
could easily have made thfin content with
reasonable terms of reconciliation. Rather
than permit this, the radicals inverted the
order of nature, and absurdly imagined that
by military coercion they could make a herd
of ntedy, ignorant blacks, just let loose from
brutalizing eervitude, the leaders of Southern
society and the architects of a new order of
tblDgB. rne result is what any reasonable
mau mtgut have expected. As the Tribune
is constrained to confess. "Emigration is ar-
restfd capi'al thanks from her cities and
seaports commerce seeks less congenial but
more secure climes crtdit is dead hejt vast
resources are neglected there is no industry,
no enterprise, no national progress, no publio
spirit, nothing but political chaos and social
anarchy."
This is the practioal result of radioal manage
ment in the South. As the Good Bjok says,
"A tree is known by its fruit. Men do not
gather grapes ot thorns, or figs of thistles.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know
Ilium "
Kosecrnns and J ee.
From the Boston Post.
"I only wiBh," said General Roseorans. on
his return from Virginia, "the whole Northern
people knew their Southern brethren as well
as 1 do." Here is the plain and direct testi
monyofoneof our most distinguished Union
generals, iresn from a conference with the
leading commanders of the late Southern
armies. "The great leaders of the South,"
says he, "desire peace, fraternal feeling, pros
perity and happiuess." And he adds, "I am
fully satisfied that it is not the Southern people
who stand in the way of a full and complete
reconciliation."
Kor is it the Northern people. Both sides
are impatient for that solid, compact reunion
which all know must be secured before the
country can ever advance a step towards en
during prosperity. Then what hinders, what
has been the cause of obstruction for three
years past ? Nothing but this radioal faotion
that has intrenched itself in the plaoes of
power, ana to-aay bias aetlance to the South,
North and the Constitution together. It is
new engaged in an attempt to aDDrooriate the
military along with the civil power, and, if
successiui, me latter win praolioally disappear
from view altogether.
The first thing radicalism will do in its effort
to break the force of this unequivocal testi.
mony, will be to taunt the Southern leaders
with a desire to dictate to the North. It will
describe them as Rebels still, and insultingly
ask by what right they venture to speak at all
while still disfranchised. For all that, the
country knows that these Southern ohieftains
speak the sentiments of the Southern people.
Right or wrong, they are the men whom that
people have faithfully followed and trusted,
aid in whom they still confide. This is only
a fact, and no taunts and insults can cover it
np. That euch tauntg are heard at all satisfies
us that the radicals are for anything but peaoe
and fraternity. They want a perpetual hubbub,
would like another war, and are daily inciting
the ignorant blacks of the chief Southern
cities to deeds of violenoe, as a pretext for
developing similar schemes of their own.
They are not yet ready to square their ao
counts with the people, but dodge the figures
and start the cry of a new revolution in tha
B,uth.
These guilty party leaders have carried this
thing far enough, having long ago reached
the limit of the people's patience. All who
sincerely want peaoe will hail'these new as
severations of General Lee and his associates
with genuine satisfaction. They know that
these men mean just what thev sav. Of
course they will charge General Roseorans
with beicg a "Copperhead" for believing
euch assurauoes, or for having had anything
to say to those who made them. But that is
only their party game. They want no such
testimony ior themselves, nor do they want
peace on any terms that will leave self-eov-
ernment, North and South, inviolable. If so
narrow, bigoted, intolerant, and thoroughly
unpatiiotio a party as this is to be allowed
longer control of the Government, Heaven
pity the unhappy country that has to submit
to its hateful rule t Now is the time for the
people to rise and rescue their free institutions
from the hands of the spoilers. No ODen
enemy could do the injury to ihem whioh
their insidious advances aim to accomplish.
While they mouth their canting cry, "Let us
have peace 1" they insult every one who
would promote a peace that does not crouoh
and tremble beneath the sword. If that be
peace, what is to be the Union that will rest
on such a foundation f

From the Cincinnati (Jazctle.
Tbe Democratlo candidate for the Vioe-Presi-dency
says General Grant is one of the ablest
men this country ever produced. The most
popular Presidential oandidate of the Demo
crats, George 11. Pendleton, says: VI would
not, if I could, pluck one leaf from the laurels
of General Grant. Whatever may be his
capacity as a soldier, he has' stood the test of
success, and, so far as I have known, he has
borne himself with moderation and magnan
imity in his high office." The most conspicu
ous and odious representative of the Peace
Democracy, Mr. Vallaudigham, says he would
n-it utter one syllable against the purity or the
capacity of General Grant.
Throughout the Democratic party there is
an honorable unanimity on this subject. Only
one of their leadiDg journals disturbs their
Laimony. The New York World seems to
imagine that the campaign can be won by
slandering or ridiculing the candidates. Its
standard name for the amiable Speaker of the
HouEe is Mr. Smiler Colfax. It rings the daily
changes on the fact that Genral Grant's bap
tismal name was Hiram Ulysses. It sneers at
his capacity, and devotes column after oolurru
to elaborate criticisms of what it calls his mili
tary blunders. We have not the remotest
di-position to interfere with this indulgence.
In fact, we hope to see it continued. But for
tLose who care to see how circumstances alter
cases with able journals that are not troubled
with any such awkward accessories as oonvio
tiors, we quote the World's opinion of General
Grant before he was nominated for thai Presi
dency by the Republicans. In its issue of the
11th of April, 1805, it said:
