It appears that there are men still living
and moving, and making speeches (on the
Blalr-and-Seyiuour Side) who think that the
people are to he scared into the rejeotion or
Grant and Colfax, tome of the threats whioh
reach ns are liardl of u nature to awaken the
intensest pnbllo apprehen?ion that, for in
stance, of Wade Hampton, who vows and de
clares that, If Grunt is eleoted, the plaoes
which now know Hampton shall know hlin no
more forever I We are not to vote for the
man of our choice, beoanBe if we do Hampton
will " leave the country" -elope, evade,
evaonate I Terhaps there may he here and
there a patriot who would not regard this
slight diminution of oar population as a tre
mendous and insuperable calamity; but the
minatory hint is thrown out as if the volun
tary exile of Wade Hampton would break all
our hearts. Yet this is only one of a large
collection of misfortunes with which we are
menaced, and from which only the
election of Frank lilair to the Vioe
1'reBidency can save ns. Albert Pike roars
dieadlul predictions at one end of the land
and Mr. Pendleton bleats plaintive responses
at the other. We are told, although the
llebel banner is buried, that great numbers of
ardent spirits know well the place of its
sepulchre, and upon the slightest provocation
are ready to rally to its resurrection. We are
to be shaken to our inmost souls by the pros
peot of seme dim but dreadful catastrophe
following hard upon a Republican victory.
We are to be shocked into a surrender. We
are to succumb to the bugbear of another and
a bloodier rebellion. Us re, for instance, is
the Louisville Journal asking, "if the radicals
Should triumph in November, if the White
people of the South would quietly submit,"
and giving it as its opinion that they most
certainly would not. "The thought," says
this fiery sheet, "is preposterous. It is
impious. It is monstrous." "A radical
viotory," it wildly cries, "is war. It is
war, to whose ravages and terror. imagina
tion can set no bounds." And for this rea
son, so lucioly, or rather so luridly, set forth
by this Blair-aud Seymour editor, a plain,
honest man in New York or New England,
who has deliberately made np his mind that
duty requires him to vote for Grant; who,
apart from these threats, thinks a Republican
administration demanded by the exigencies of
the Union; whose conscience and intellect
upon this point coincide, is to revise his deci
sion, and abdicate his manhood, and surrender
Lis right of private judgment, and, crawling a
trembling craven to the polls, is to beg that
his voioe and vote may be registered for one
man whose political integrity he doubts, and
for another man whose personal character he
despises 1 If Mr. Pendleton, who has lately
been experimenting npon the terrors of the
Hast, fancies that the Republicans of Maine
and Connecticut are such white-livered animals
as this, he thinks more unjustly of them than
they think jusily and indignantly of him.
This Chinese warfare the horrible mask and
the resounding howl makes the back-stab-bings
and tue midnight burnings of the Ku
Klux Klan appear mildly respectable and com
paratively manly.
Two things the missionary from the West
to the East is certain will follow the election
of Grant universal bloodshed and general
bankruptcy. We pass over for the present
bis financial forebodings; but did Mr. Pendle
ton think to scare the stout hearts of the
Maine backwoodsmen, who know the rotten
lumber of a platform when they see it, by
crying out that a Republican victory would bs
the destruction and desolation of the land f
Did he so under-estimate the shrewd common
sense of the Connecticut Republicans, as to
dream that they could be turned from their
purpose by hi prophetio and vooiferous eloou
tion ? by his rhetoric of ruin and his declama
tion of deppairf "Do you believe," cried Mr.
Pendleton, "that it is possible to maintain
peace and Union if you subjugate in these ten
States this Caucasian race of ours to be ruled
by these brutish slaves f " Now, in the first
place, these voting bugbears of Mr. Pendleton
are not "slaves," but are free as he is
himself; and in the seoond place,
all the Blair-and-Seymour orators in the
South are solemnly and passionately in
voking these "brutish slaves" to vote
for the candidates of the New York Conven
tion, and deolariog that the votes of the freed
men will be and should be so oast. If these
confident predictions are fulfilled, we suppose
that Mr. Pendleton's beasts will all be changed
into perfect beauties 1 This thought probably
and providentially occurred to most of the
gentleman's Hartford auditors, and prevented
them from swooning with apprehensions upon
the spot, without waiting for the verification
of the wizard's awful words. So he went at
them again with something a little more mov
ing aud melancholy Still. "The Southern
men," he said, "are a Eelf-poase33ed, a self
reliant, and a brave people. Tread upon
them, and they will watch their opportunity
and strike you." Now, "treading upon them,"
in this speech, cannot possibly mean anything
except voting for Grant aud Colfax. The
figure suggests the rattlesnake, and it also
Suggests the Copperhead. Walk lightly, men
of Connecticut 1 Step gingerly, or the rep
tile of secession will have you in his veno
mous coil 1 Vote for Blair and Seymour, or
rebellion will return with seventy times seven
thousand devils to driok the lite-blood and to
Increase the taxes of Connecticut 1 Perhaps
there were those who heard the wails of this
Western Jeremiah who remembered the blood
of Connecticut already spilled, and the taxes
already levied wbioh Connecticut has paid or
is still paying. They might have laughed at
Mr. Pendleton's depression of spirits; and at
any rate they would be pretty sure to laugh
at the texts of Scripture and the theological
illustrations with whioh the pious gentleman
thought it necessary to carnlsh a speech made
to Connecticut Puritans, the despised of
Southern chivalry 1 They might have
answered: "If the el "'.ion of Grant and Col
fax is to bring a new rebellion, let it come I"

Prom the IV. T. Herald.
Day after day our cable and mail news
renders it more and more difficult to be love in
the continuance of peaoe in Europe. The
Vn)l Mnll I'' ..,.11. jtno tYi.i mnal anllivlitunad
and cautious of English journals, has at last
been oompelled to acknowledge that war is
mure than probable before the end of the
vear. Napoleon's attention to the armv in
creases. In the International Congress of
woiklcgmen ai urneHeis vne probability or an
early war seems to have monopolized both
attention and time. The King of Prussia, in
bis tour inrougn me nonueru provinces re
oeives addresses, aud speaks out with a blunt
nefs which is quite refreshing, although it
does not encourage the hopes of peaou. Mean
while we find the Biitisu, the Gorman, the
Dutch, and the Belgian press full of specula
tion in relation to certain movements of the
Kuiperor, Laving for their object the esUbluh-
roent of a French Zollverein, Holland and I
Belgium to te Included. I
These various items of news, all connected
do not exnausi me aiarmiug rumors current
all over the continent. The threatened Franco
SpAnfch alliance has already produced A not
nnnatnral excitement in Italy. The Italian
Government, resigned to its fate, has been
quietly going on and somewhat suooexsfully
doing its work since the unfortunate affair at
Mentana. A oontinuanoe ot the present sys
tem of quiet domestlo government, tending as
it does towards the development of the re
sources of the peninsula, might at no distant
day render a solution of the Roman questiou
as easy and peaceful as it would be satisfactory
to all concerned. The relations which have
sprung np between France and Spain have
infused new life into the party of action, and
Garibaldian threats and Mazzlnl letters and
rumored movements of large bodies of men
towards the Papal frontier are now filling men's
minds all ovr the Italian peninsula? In the
event of a war breaking out in the North and
a Spanish soldier touching Roman or Italian
soil, or a Spanish war ship anchoring in Ita
lian waters, Italy would burst into one general
blaze of patriotism which nothing but a deluge
of blood could quench.
So is it in the South. Matters are scarcely
less alarming in the East. The Greeks, what
ever we may say of their success, are still as
full of ambition as ever. The Cretan patriots,
in spite of the apparent hopelessness of their
caur e, still look iorward to the time when the
Greek race, reunited, shall resume their once
lofty place in the great family of nations.
The Servians and other members of the so
called Slavonio family hesitate in deciding
npon incorporation with Russia or upon the
establishment of a separate Slavonio empire
which shall embrace all the non-Greoian
Christian subjects of the Porte; while the
Poles, the one Slavonio people who detest the
idea of incorporation with any Power, long
more intensely than ever for their anoient na
tional independence.
Europe is thus seen to be in a peculiarly
combustible condition. It requires but the
application of the mutch to produce a general
and destructive conllagration. It matters
little where the match is applied, whether iu
the West, or the South, or the E ist, it is all
but absolutely certain that the flames will
spread until every nation of the. Continent is
wrapped in their ruinous embrace. Suppose,
for example, that the forces of France and
Prussia were to come into collision on the
Rhine, and that Spain were to attempt to gar
rison Rome, is it not certain that a war to the
death would break out between Italy aud
Spain f Is it not just as certain that the
Cretan insurgents would feel encourage 1 to
make a fresh effort for their independence f
Can it be doubted that Greeoe, aud after
Greece Russia, would exert themselves to the
utmost to fan the flame of rebellion through
out the Christian provinces of the Turkish
dominions f If Kussia had not already joined
Prussia against France Russia would at last
have found her opportunity to march on Con
stantinople and make good her pretention to
be the natural successor of the great Roman
empire of the Kant. Supposing England to
have refused to fight for Belgium and Holland,
would she remain passive and see the iron
clads of Russia dominate the Dardanelles ?
Great Britain in the fray, where, how, when
will the matter end ? Who can answer t The
only thing that is certain now is that Euiope
is on the eve of a gr at and eerious crisis.
"Unconstitutional. Itevolmlonary. and
Void.''
From their. Y. Times.
Governor Baker, of Indiana, in a discussion
with Senator Hendricks, traced the course o(
the Democrats from the commencement of the
war, with the view of showing that the oppo
sition now offered to the reconstruction policy
is identical with that which aesailed every
measure employed by the national Govern
ment in the struggle for its existenoe. The
argument now employed to break down the
Republican policy for the restoration of the
Lnion, is a repetition of that which was strain
and again used to sustain the cause ot the
Rebellion.
The men who now condemn reconstruction
as "unconstitutional, revolutionary, aud
void," in the same terms denounoed the pur
pose to put down the Rebellion by force of
arms. That was a pre-eminently unconstitu
tional policy, in the opinion of the managers
of the New York Convention. They held that,
under the Constitution, the States had a right
to secede, and that the exeroise of ooercion by
the Federal Government to prevent the exer
oise of the right, was revolutionary. Accord
ing to them, the Government made war upon
the Constitution when it undertook the sup
pression of the Rebellion.
Clinging tenaciously to this doctrine, the
Copperheads never neglected a chance of
doing all that the rules of Congress allow to
obstruct aud embarrass the course of the
Government. All the great measures of the
war period they attacked in suooession as
revolutionary and unconstitutional. The first
call for troops was objeoted to on this ground.
The enaotment of the test oath, designed to
exclude Rebels from oili;e; the amnesty and
emancipation proclamations of Mr. Lincoln;
the initiatory reconstruction proclamation of.
the same 1 resident; and generally all that Mr.
Lincoln or Congress did to weaken the Rebels
or directly to add vigor to the prosecution of
the war enoonntered the active opposition of
those who now attack reconstruction, liven
the issue of greenbacks, with which the
Demociatio party now proposes to pay the
londholdeis, was resisted as an infraction of
the Constitution. The financial measures
which the exigencies of the time necessitated,
weie enacted in npita of an opposition akin
to that which would plunge the reconstructed
States back into anarchy.
The plea aud the purpo.se have been the
Eame all tLe time. At every step the party of
tbe Union was compelled to contest the ground
with the politicians who nominated Seymour
and lilair. They were not simply indinxrent
They were active on the side of tbe enemy; not
indeed waiting battle in the open Held, but
doing service as aiders and abettors of the
enemy at Washington and in the Northern
Mates. And thtlr pretense was perpetually
the same. Always and every where their at
tempts to destroy the Union, by obstructing
measures framed for its defense, were paraded
as in the cause of the Constitution. The Rebel
party, accordiug to their hypothesis was the
only constitutional party. The Union party,
as they regarded it, never ceased to be revolu
tionary, or its policy never otherwise than un
constitutional and void.
The worthleFsness of this pretended reepeot
for tbe Constitution has beeu made more appa
rent by the acquiescence of the Democracy
in the course of Mr. Johnson. They hurled
epithets at Mr. Lincoln's proclamation of re
construction, whioh specifically reooguized the
control of Congress over the representation;
while they gladly aooepted Mr. Johnson's
proclamation defining the method of reoon
strto'ion and exacting the oaths he imposed.
What wa3 revolutionary and unconstitutional
in Mr. Lincolu, because done in the interest
of the Union, was just and proper in Johnson,
because calculated to restore RebeU to autho
rity. Such was the difference iu the aim aud
teiideroy of the two plans, aud such the
dilleieute in their reoeptiou by the party
which babbles incessantly about the Consti
tution I So is It also with the reconstruction
policy of Congress. It has law for its fonnla
tiou and the restoration of the Union as its
end. But It works " through enfranchised
loyalty, with the help of the majority of tin
whole people, and iu a manner that gives
strength to the Union; and for this reason it
is condemned by the Democracy as "revolu
tionary, unoonsiitulional, and void." And yet
these sticklers for the Constitution desire, by
upsetting Congressional reconstruction, to re
vive the Johnson Governments, organized
atider tbe orders, and after the model of th
President, without a particle .f authority
either in the Constitution or the law. What
is usurpation when done by the people's repre
sentatives as against Rebellion in D v.no. :ratii
eyes becomes rightful exercise of authority
in the Executive, acting in behalf of the
Rebels. The dishonesty ol the Democratic
zeal in support of the Constitution could have
no more fiectlve illustration.
The Day of Wrath.
From the N. T. Independent.
It makes a man hold bis breath to read the
accounts of the appalling earthquake which
lately ran like a sea-wave up aud down the
west coast of South America, overthrowing
ten cities and hundreds of towns aud village.;
killing probably thirty thousand people, aud
maiming an unnumbered multitude besides;
destroying ships, houses, churches, and
various property, officially valued at thr-e
hundred million dollars; and, altogether, cou
Ftituting one of tbe most extensive, destruc
tive, and awful calamities which have ever
befallen the human race.
The accounts thus far received are crude
and meager, giving rough guesses rather than
accurate statements of losses; but all the
writers unite in a concurrent testimony to the
unparalleled bavoo caused by the earthquake,
and to the universal panio among the people.
After various premonitory symptoms, the
chief shock was felt almost simultaneously
throughout all Peru, at about C o'clock P. M.,
August 16. I he convulsion extended more or
less destruotively through forty degrees of
latitude or one-ninth part of the earth's cir
cumference. The horrible phenomenon took
some new shape in each new place, but pre
fervtd come general feaiures everywhere. For
iiistanoe, reports from widely-distant places
mention that the earth opened In regular
seams and fissures, emitting clouds of snffo-
oatiug dust and gas; aud the fe retired from
trethore, to return to It In monntaln-like
waves, rolling far inland with iudescribable
fury. In many places the atmosphere was so
charted with electricity tbat it a man touched
his lined to his hair, or to his clothes, sparks
would be emitted, liirri llewout oftbetr nests,
and sought refuge in the upper air, inakiDg
unusual noises iu their flight. B tiling hot
water was belohrd up ttiroiigti rifts in dislo
cated rocks. Floatiug vapors gave striate
colors to the sky. In localities where the
eaith was not actually drift it was seen to
undulate, as if its t-urface were rising and
falling to the motion of internal wavei.
The richest cities f the weft coast of South
America have been worse than totally de
stroyed for their inhabitants have been de
stroyed with them. What a drama of an
guish was enacted in Callao, in Arica, in
Lima, in lbaira, in Quito 1 Whole families
crushed to sud fen death uuder their own
tumbling roofe I Hosts of mangled survivors
left who at this moment are enduriug th3 pro
longed agonies of too slow a death I
Not far from quarter of a million of people
are made houseless and homeless by this cala
mity; and tens of thousands of these are suf
feiiug for want of clothing and food.
It is a case for the whole world's charity.
We sincerely hope tbe Government and citi
zens of the United States will show a priuoely
beneficence toward these ruiue 1 si iter repub
lics and their stricken people. Moreover, a
scientific commission ought to be formed, with
Professor Agasiz at its head, to proceed at
once to South America, for the purpose of
collecting, without delay, accurate data of
this great upheaval, with a view to a thorough
Inquiiy into the origin of earthquakes a mys
terious problem etui unsolved.
A Frank Answer to an Insidious Question.
From the N. Y. World.
"According to tbe policy thus authoritatively

ments as null huU vul.i.uud with the help of

Ihiow bom ? tVom the Tune.
Tnis strain ot remark and request for infor
mation proceed upon tbe uuwanuted assump
tion that General rilair's letter is a part of the
Democratic platform. tut there it no process
cf fair reasoning by which it can bu made to
appear so. The Democia'io N itioual Conven
tion adopted its platlorm before balloting for
candidates, and without any expectation that
Mr. Seymour would le its nominee lit Presi
dent or General Blair for Vice-President.
Whatever candidates had beeu nominated,
their acceptance would have bound their per
sonal honor to the Btipponot the' platform,
although it might have conflicted, in some
lefpects, with their own deolared views. Gov
ernor Seymour, not long before the Convention
met, made a noteworthy speech on the payment
oi the public debt. Does tbe Time believe, or
does anybody believe, that in nominating him
t)e Convention indorsed all the views expressed
in that speech ? On the contrary, everybody
admits that Governor Seymour, by acoeptiug
tbe nomination, yielded whatever in his pre
vious views did not fully accord with tbe plat
form. The same reasoning applies to General
Blair. He is bound by precisely the same obli
gations of personal honor. If there is anything
in bis Bredhead letter inconsistent with the
platform, he renounced it in accepting the
nomination, just as Mr. Seymour male a si oil
Jar renunciation if there was anything iuoou
Eistent with the platform in his finanoial
fpeech. The candidates of a great political
party stand in a representative capacity. Their
honor, which forbids them to aooept the homi
nation of the patty unless they have previously
agreed with it in essentials, binds them to sink
minor dillereuoep. Wfca'ever the times may
think of the ethics of su jIi matters, it cannot
be permitted to make a different rule for the
two candidates of the Demooratlo ptrty. Our
contemporary must either hold that the Demo
cratic party is pledged to ail the previous
views of Mr. Seymour, or else admit the party
is not pledged to all the views expressed by
General Blair previous to his nomluatiou. The
'limes may take which horn of this dilemma
it phases, but we thall force it upon one of
tbem.
In our opinion, tbe contingency oontem
plated by General Blair in hi llrodhead
letter, is never likely to arise. The example
of Georgia demonstrates that everything da
sirahle can bo accomplished through the
agency of the new State Goverament?. Th
Uct that iu the greater part of the South the
while citizens ate a majority, and that they
monopolize the property, the eduoition, the
Booial influence, and the political experience
of their rection, proves that, if let alonn,
they in mon id 'their' institutions lnto'any
form they please. There will be no need of
.dippeieiug the new governments by force, be
laiihe they oau so eabily be made the agonts of
their own reformation. E'luouraged and sup
ported by the public opinion of the whole
countiy, as the Southern whites will be by
the election of the Demooratlo candidates, they
'will have no difficulty in revising the present
Constltutloi s by methods so free froja legal
question, that no Federal Interference will be
possible to thwart, and none necessary to aid
them.
We are confirmed in this view by the fact
that the ingenuity of the Time itself can
cleecry no other remedy than a refusal to
admit Senators and Representatives from the
States which thus transform their govern
ments. In an article, on the 11th inst., npon
the expulsion of the negroes from the Georgia
Legislature the Times bald:
"How the wrong may bo remedied is a ques
tion we are not tilt-posed to auMwer with toe
Knnie degree of coufileace.' It is a difficult and

virtually be a declaration Iba the reconstruc

Now, whatever may be thought of thU
remedy in other respects, the 'limes must per
ceive that it cannot work when we come to
have a Democratic President and House of
Representatives. All that Congress could do
at the next sest-ion, would be to stultify itself,
and make itself a laughing-stock, by expelling
the carpet bag members it has just admitted,
and covering with derisiou the fleet plauk of
the Chicago platform, which congratulates the
country on the perfect success of the recon
struction policy. But as soon as there is a
Democratic Bouse, the Republicans are cheok
mated. The joint resolution readmitting tbe
States and sanctioning their governments can
not be repealed without the concurrence of
both Houses; and until it is repealed neither
can reluse to admit members .on the ground
that there is no valid State Government. The
Times must therefore see that its party will be
bound, Land and foot, in letters of its own
forging. There will be no necessity for de
molishing the gallows erected ly Hainan,
when he can so easily be hanged on it himself.
