A IjiRt Word with Mr. Hill.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
We have a oertain reaped for an opponent
like Mr. Hill. He ia not eapuetuiatio. He
does not like reoonatruotion, and he proposes
to fight abont it. If . our opponent were all
aa candid, we should have an easy canvass.
Seymour's eleotion, he say 8, "w.ill be accepted
as a decision bv the American people that
these (State) governments are not esta
blished," and of course Seymour's duty will
be to destroy them, and arrange the States
to ihe satisfaction of Mr. Hill. This is the
essential point in his letter, the keystone of
Lis argument. Mr. Hill knows very well that
the Southern loyalists cannot be deprived of
their rights, and remanded into a condition
Worse than slavery, without a revolution, and
possibly war. If one eeotion of the Southern
people fought four years to keep a large num
ber of their fellow-citizens in slavery, how
long would another eeotion fight to prevent
their own enslavement ? Mr. Hill can answer
this question better than we can.
The facts of the Camilla massaore are not
nnohauged by Mr. Hill's notes upon them.
Without meaning any disrespect, we regard
bis endorsement of the Rebel rioters much
as the proffered responsibility of "Falstaff."
We want better security for "JJirdolph" than
3ir John." Mr. Hill, we have no doubt, means
to tell a true story, but he is not a competent
Witness. He knows that we have had a war,
and is not well pleased that the fighting is
over. There are a great many of the same
class, North and South, who, as a noted hu
morist expresses it, were vigorously for the
prosecution of the war, and held themselves
ready to sacrifice all their wives' relatives in
their devotion. A little massacre like Camilla
Is therefore a skirmish; and, unless we misap
prehend Mr. Hill's meaning, we are to have a
good many more with similar results. "You
think it strange," he says, "that so many
negroes were killtd, and so few whites
injured. To me, this is not strange. The
negroes were slaughtered as they will always
be under such circumstances." We aooept
Mr. Hill's correction, and are rather surprised
at our blunder. Now that we remember, there
were more negroes than white men killed at
New Orleans, and at Memphis, and at Fort
Pillow. When Mr. Hill comes to us with these
opinions and seeks to disoredit our correspon
dents, we cannot accept him. The writer of
the letters in the Tribune is neither, "a carpet
bagger" nor a "soalawag," but a native of
Georgia and a citizen who has always been
highly honored. He is quite as good a witness
as Mr. Hill, and has the merit of regard
ing the shooting of unoffending citizens
In mass meeting assembled as murder. He is
Willing to accept reconstruction without threat
ening "the poor negroes" with "sure destruo
lion," unless the State governments are
changed. We think there must have been a
misUke about the bloodhounds. Mr. Hill's
word covers that point, and we thank him for
the oorreotion. Considering the extent and
thoroughness of the massaore and the number
pf the slain, the hounds were hardly necessary.
This brings us back to the text of Mr.
Hill's letter: . Seymour's eleotion means the
downfall of Reconstruction. Upon which we
are moved to say:
I. Seymour's eleotion does not make him
the Government, lie would be no more Presi
dent, in the absolute sense, than Andrew
Johnson. The Senate would be irrevocably
and overwhelmingly against him, and the
House in all probability largely so.
II. Seymour would find certain laws to exe
cute; and, before he took the chair, he would
be committed to thtir execution by a solemn
oath
HI. These laws will not be repealed. Were
Seymour to oarry every Northern State, they
would still stand, and behind them the im
pregnable barrier of a Constitutional amend
ment, which no President and no Supreme
Court can override.
IV. As President, Mr. Seymour could not
make Mr. Hill a tax colleotor without the will
of the Senate. Viotorious or defeated, the Re
publican party remains master of the situa
tion. Now this is as dear as sunshine, and Mr.
Hill is sadly deceived when he comes to New
York and expects the aid of the Demooratio
party to overthrow these States. His polioy is
either war or it is a triok of violent speech. If
be is merely rhetorical, then he is a dema
gogue, and we pass him by. If he is in ear
nest, he means war, wants war, and seeks to
precipitate war. It is not the work of a day to
amend the Constitution of the United States.
The polioy which Congress created represents
the victories of a hundred fields, the saorifioea
of a great people, the assumption of a vast
debt. We do not propose to amend it in
answer to the desire of Mr. Hill, or to desist
from its enforcement because he assures
us that his friends will massaore the
negroes. But for the infatuation of Senators
like Fessenden and Grimes, he would find,
even now, that it would be safe for the negro
to attend a Republican meeting in Camilla,
and that a punishment swift as the very light
, ning would have made negro massacres an un
desirable amusement. The blood of these
poor people drips upon the Senate chairs of
the Republicans who sustained by their votes
the author and apologist of the massaore at
New Orleans. We must endure Mr. Johnson
a little longer, but we feel sure the nation will
not weloome a continuance of his administra
tion in Mr. Seymour. Be that as it may
Grant or Seymour it is certain that recon
struction will stand, unless overthrown by the
revolutionary viutanoe suggested by General
Blair and expected by Mr. Hill. From that
law there is no appeal. It is the written and
Sealed decree of the Constitution, and, to para
phrase the rude figure of "Bay lock," until Mr.
Hill can rail the seal from off the bond, he but
offends his lungs to speak so loud.
These are not pleasant words for us to say
nor are the words of Mr. Hill pleasant to
bear. We take him to be an honest, angry,
disappointed man not without iniluenoe in
bis own oountry, but misled by political will-o'-the-wisps
like Andrew Johnson and the
Northern Copperheads. When he rants about
millions of northern men hating reoenstruo
tion, and asserts that, when the new war
comes, there will no longer be a "united
North," be merely repeats the gasconade that
has probably floated to him through the fames
of Manhattan Club champagne. He heard
these promises In 18(50, and we presume if he
were to take oouusel ol Mr. Brick Pomeroy, he
would be told that a million of "red-hot"
Demoorats were waiting to follow him to
battle. These promises were broken in the
last war, and will not be kept in the next one.
Pomeroy and his friends had one chanoe to
f ght, And they do cot want another. They
live upon the passions of men like Mr. Hill,
tc 1 the malignity of men a great deal worse.
In the last war, they were cowards and sneaks,
ad their voice is no portion of the sentiment
ct the North. Mr. Hill should take counsel
. from those who have power to help him. His
ft fends are among those who answered war
with war, and defeat with mercy and magna
nhnity. Let him remember what General I
Grant said to Rebels like himself in 18G5: I
"Have nothing to do with Northerners who
opposed the war. They will never again be
intrusted with power. The more yon oonsort
vith them the more exacting the Republicans
will be and ought to be. When you gt
home, urge your people to aooept nugro suf
Irage. The sooner you anoept that, the be'.ter
for all concerned." This is also our advice,
given with the utmost sincerity and affeotlon.
Mr. Hill cannot be cured of the delusion
that be and his fellow Rebels are "the South,"
and "the Southern people;" so we will not
try. We only aek him to note our protest
There is no arithmetic by which they can
make themselves "ten millions;" yet he will
continue to aseert it. We believe now, as in
1800, in government based on the oonseut of
the governed. He believes in aristooraoy the
light of the wise and the strong to do as they
will with the simple and the weak. Our
basis of peace is, as it ever has been, untversal
amnesty impartial suffrage. He insists that
his party at the South shall vote, and that
ours shall not. He will not be gratiAad. And
when be says that no respectable man at the
South agrees with us, he simply means that
ngreeing with us destroys their respectability.
We deny bis right, even as a Rebel, to pass
judgment on James Longstreet, Joseph .
Brown, and V illiam C. Wickhain.
We are tired of war, and olamor, and pas
sionate recrimination 1 We mourn for the
South, and long to see it emerge from the
chaos that ranges within its borders. We
desire to see peace and commerce, flourishing
cities, mills on every stream, rich acres and
teeming barns, a sohool in every township,
and a good newspaper in every county. We
long to see its States filled with a happy and
prosperous people, and no memory of the
dreadful war save what may linger in ballads
and romances. But there can be no peace
without justice. If Mr. Hill wants amnesty
for himself, let him assure justioe and protec
tion to the negro, and cease to demand from
the Constitution privileges which he refuses to
bis fellow-men. Let him follow the example
of General Longstreet and John II. Reagan, of
i nomas J. uurant and uovernor Jirown. we
honor him for having fought seoession in the
beginning let him not stain that record by
contributing to anarchy now. If he can reaou
the Rebel citizens of Georgia, let him say that
peaoe can only come with justice,
and that we Shall secure mstice and peaoe in
the election of General Grant. Thus we close
this controversy; and in doing so beg Mr. Hill
to rise above passionate and useless rhetoric,
and aid us in the consummation of this glo
rious result.

From the N. Y. Timee.
Does not Jeff. Davis mean to come baok in
time to take part in the pending canvass ?
After his lieutenants and subordinates have
set his squadrons in the field, does he intend
to leave them to do all the fiizhtinz ? To be
sure, they did not make him the candidate;
but they put his principles again into the
field, and his political character is at stake.
He had one hundred and thirty-five of his
subordinate Rebel officers in the National Con
vention of his party, and they defined its
position and controlled its action. One of the
foremost of them, Wade Ilamptou, has pro
claimed in South Carolina that he made the
platform that he inserted in it the declara
tion that the laws of Congress on reconstruc
tion are "unconstitutional, revolutionary, and
void" and that, he said, was all that made
the platform of the party of any value to him.
The great body of the party has rallied to
the summons Rebels of all grades, officers
and privates in all sections, North as well
as South those who fought and those who
swore thoee who perilled their lives and tho-e
who only perilled their honor all who sup
ported treason and rallied under the Rebel
Hag during the war, are rallying under the
Democratio flag now. But they miss their
leader 1 Why does he not come to them?
He is free. No cruel shackles fetter his move
ments. No dungeon walls confine his ener
gies or restrict the scope of his aotivity.
Why does he hold himself aloof f Forrest,
who waded in blood at Fort Pillow in
bis service, is again in the field his
blood-stained plume leads the van of
the Democratio hosts who rally again
in support of the lost cause. Semmes, who
sank and burned so many peaceful, unarmed
merchantmen during the war, ana who was
rescued from the Kearsarge by the sympathy
of an English yaoht-man, is doing valiant
battle for Seymour and Blair. Lee, in more
peaceful mood, contents himself with writing
letters and pointing out to General Koseorans
how to make the Rebels hopeful and oheerful
again, after the long winter of their discontent.
And btepbens, relieved from the oares of the
Confederate Vice-Presidenoy, is writing books,
which he vainly hopes somebody will read,
explaining what the war meant why it began
and when it ended.
But Davis cares for none of these things.
He has not a word of cheer for his old con
federatesnot a line of advice to give them
in their dire extremity. He is out on bail,
and prefers the good cheer of the British who
built the Alabama to the companionship of
bis warriors who surrendered onoe, and are
getting ready to surrender once more. Jeff.
never was a man of very warm sympathies.
Like the man that did not go to his father's
funeral, he never was any "hand for relations."
But he ought not to turn his back so squarely
on his old friends. They are having a hard
fight quite as hard as they had four years
ago; and they miss their leader. Why won t
he come home, and speak to the boys or, at
all events, write them a letterr
A Liar without Sliauie."
From the N. Y. World.
We hop w need not say that this heading
is a quotation, and we are snre that we need
not say that it is quoted from the Tribune.
Did the 7 ribune mean it to apply to one
General Kilpatrick, who for some time was in
the employ of the Government as Minister to
Chili, while drawing his salary also as a briga
dier of the regular army, and who is now "on
the stump" for General Grant in New Jersey
and elsewhere f Oue might infer this from
the fact that Kilpatrick made the following
statement in one of his rural discourses on
Wednesday:
"I told Horatio Heymonr to his fjoe. In 18fi3
that be was the head and front of lue rlow,
nnd that tlie Uoveruiumt oiuut to send liltn
under guard to Fart Lafayette, if i nad been
in eominaud I would have done It."
This same Kilpatrick is the person who
wrote to tb.3 Tribune the other day, that when
he was off the coast of Peru duriug the recent
earthquakes be saw "five hundred mummies
rise from the earth in a sitting posture, all in
a row looking out to seaward." Mummies,
to be sure, cannot be buried without ceasing
promptly to be mummies. But nobody sup
poses that Kilpatrick knows anything more
abont mummies than he does about men, or
morals, or manners, or anything worth know
ing about. Very likely he thought he did
see "five hundred mummies rise up in a row."
There are cages in whloh people, who have
lived for some time as this individual is com
monly reported to have lived, suddenly get
glimpses of five hundred or even of five thou
sand rats walking down r.treet ia the broad
daylight.
No nuoh excuse, however, ouNrj for Kil
pAtrlok's statement about hi one If an 1 Gov
ernor Seymour. I The only explaoatlou of it,
otl.er than that whioh the JnO'tie hai alreaiy
put in our way. is to be found iu the notion
that possibly Kilpatrick may have dimly re
membered what happened to hiunelf, not lu
18G3, but in 1805, when a Demoora'io speaker
"told bim to his faoe," on a New Jersey plat
form, that he was sayiog the thing tb.it wis
not, and that he knew uiuuelf to be saying the
thirg that was not.
"Presto ! change 1"
From the T?. Y. World.
The Republican organs, which at Ant greeted
Mr. Delmar's statistics with a combined
assault upon his accuracy, fiud, uprti exami
nation, that they are unable to impeach an
ptateuients, and so, all of a sudden very
likely by an inspiration lrom Wells himself,
for how else should it have struck them all to
chime in together'? they change front, and
pretend that Mr. Del mar confirms the state
ments of Mr. Wells t On the same day
(Thursday (it is telegraphed from Washing
tonagain by the iustlgatlon " of wells,
probably that Mr. Wells will make no
reply to the letter of Mr. Deltnar. This out
rivals the most agile performance or; Jim
Crow. Mr. Dal mar's reputation for accu
racy has risen wonderfully in the estima
tion of the Republican journals within the
last two days, for they now seem to consider
it quite a feather iu the cap of Wells that
Delmar indorses him I Mr. Wells has boen
so sore and chagrined by the criticisms on his
letter that be seems very glad to have it de
monstrated by Mr. Delmar that he did not
coin his figures outright. This we never ao
cased nor suspected him of doing, his unfair
ness consisting in the suppression of the
figures that should have equally been given.
The publio accounts come under two heats,
namely, the Register's receipts and expendi
tures, and the Treasurer's receipts and expen
ditures. Mr. Wells merely gave the former,
and presented them as if they comprised the
whole. To Mr. Delmar is due the oredit of
calling publio attention to the other set of ac
counts, stating its nature, and giving the
figures. The grand "Hop" on Thursday, an 1
the total Eilence of all the Republican journals,
from first to last, respecting the Treasurer's
receipts and expenditures suppressed by Mr.
Wells and brought to light by Mr. Delmar,
are a confession that the statements of the
latter cannot be successfully controverted,
liven the redoubtable Wells gives it up in
despair.
The Republican Party and its Mission
tieuerul Grant.
From the iV. Y. Herald.
"o lurther extension of slavery" was the
grand issue upon which the Republican party
came into power, and the first detiuiie expres
sion ot this grand idea was given by the Buf
falo Free-soil Convention of 1848, upon which
Martin Van iiuren and Uhari.es Francis Adams
were placed in the field as the Presidential
ticket of the free E oil party. The object ot
Van Buren, which was achieved, was the de
feat of Cass in requital for the prh-slavery
juggling of the regular Democratio conventions
ot 1844 and 1S43, r.y which "Little Van" was
out out ot what he considered his vested right,
in another chance for a eeoond term in the
regular Democratic line of succession. Thus
the Southern slaveholder oligarchy, in engi
neering his rejection in '44, and again in '43,
at Jiauimore, made of Van Daren a revengeful
bauiBon, Who, with nis arms about its main
supporting pillars, pulled their temple of
Dagon down nbout their ears.
Down to the year 1843 Northern opposition
to Southern slavery was too violent, lmpraoti
cable, and revolutionary in its demands to make
much headway. In denouncing the Union with
the "slave power" as "a league with death,"
and the Constitution as "a oovenant with
hell," and in denouncing a separation of the
Union in order to rid the North of the sin and
scandal of slavery, the original abolition party
of Garrison, Tappan, Phillips, and their asso
ciates and followers, repelled alike the lovers
of the Union and the devotees of law and
order in the North, while furnishing all the
capital required -by Calhoun and his disciples
for the founding of a secession and Southern
Confederacy party in the South. But Martin
Van buren, in 1848, upon bis praotical and
attractive platform that thenceforward slavery
should be shut out of the territories of the
United States, introduced the wedge which
split the Demooratio party iu twain at the
Charleston Convention of 1800, and precipi
tated by fire and sword the extinction of the
domineering Southern oligarchy, with their
"peculiar institution."
The grand idea, we Bay, then, upon whioh
the Republican party was organized in 1854
first came in a positive, practical, and impres
sive shape from Martin Van Buren as an inde
pendent Presidential candidate in 1843. The
great compromise measures of Henry Clay in
1850 gave a oheok to this free soil agitation,
which enabled poor Pieroe to walk over the
Presidential course in 1852; but in his repeal
of the Missouri Compromise, whioh was a part
of Clay's adjustment of 1850, poor Pieroe
reopened the box of Pandora and the door for
the revival in infinitely greater strength of
Van Buren'a free soil movement. Thus, upon
the platform of "no further extension of
slavery," Fremont would have been over
whelmingly elected President in 185(3 but for
the third party movement of Fillmore, which
crippled the Republican organization ia all the
free States and assisted in suppressing it by
terroiism in all the South. In IS (JO, however,
this older of things was reversed by the
Charleston Convention. The Demooratio party
was torn to pieces, aud from its Northern
fragments and the floating materials of the dis
banded Know-iNothing party the Republican
party of 1SC0 came into power as on a Northern
whirlwind, the free soil platform of Lincoln,
like that of Fremont, being precisely the Vau
Buren platform of 1843 "no further exteusion
of slavery."
The original mission of the Republican
party, then, was simply to hold slavery to the
ground which it occupied and to provide that
no more slave territories or Blave States should
exist in the Union. Hence the Rebellion upon
the heel of Lincoln's eleotion. The Strtith
Carolina chivalry were armed and ready for it
in 1851, after the admission, in 1850, of Califor
nia as a free State, which broke the Southern
balance of power in the Senate; but Sjuth
Carolina was induced to wait for the co-operation
of the other cetton States, and she got
them in 1800 and 1861. From this point the
original idea of the Republican party a
check against the extension of slavery
rapidly ripened under the war into L'nooln'a
emancipation proclamation a military . act
which in the outset be thought would be as
futile as "the Pope's bull against the comet."'
Since then, with the suppression of the
Rebellion, we have had the absolute abolition
of slavery aud an interdict against its revival
engrafted upon the Constitution itself. Here,
thn one would think the mission of the Re
publican party at an end. Bat with the final
extinction of slavery and the Southern slave
holding oligarchy, this new party of the North
assumed a new mission in the work of recon
struction. The programme adopted for the
woik in 18(5(5 was that of the Constitutional
amendment, article fourteen. Upon this plat
form they swept the North, from ooean to
ocean, agttiuet the policy of Andy Johnson.
But the Southern Slates proving refraotory
under the encouragement of Jilnou, th
radicals of Congress in 1SG7 proceeded to a
harsher plan, involving Somhern m'litary
governments aDd a system of reconstruction
bt?ed noon universal nfrro suffrage. The
Northern elections of 18i7 betrayed a heavy
popular reaction against this system, and la
the eight Rebel States thU3 reooustruotel there
is no mre peace to day than in the three
which remain "ou; In the coll."
' How is this business to be settled T fJhnn

Fequence of the stupidity of the Dmnracy ia

ral Grant ? In adhering strictly to the Con
ptiiutionl amendment fourteen he will leave
the reconstructed Slates to settle this disturb
ing question of negro suffrage for themselves;
and if so, within a year or two, by the law of
gravitation, the vote of the black laborers will

Virginia to Texas. But this amendment says
that Congress shall have the power by appro
priate legislation to enforce its provisions, and
the Congress elected With Grant may thus
undertake the reconstruction over again of the
States reconstructed, ant whioh are now sup
posed to stand on the same foitiog as New
York and New Jersey. What then f Then
we may look for a reconstruction of parties,
beginning with the clashing and disintegration
of the diverse elements of the Republican
party in Congress aud ending with the resto
ration of the Democratio party to power on a
new and substantial foundation. At alt events,
we expect that the mission of the Republican
party will be ended with Grant's administra
tion, and that after him a new party will
come to the front, and that the present radi
cal faotion will disappear among the things of
the past.
General Duller.
From the National Intelligencer.
We are not surprised to learn that General
Benjamin F. Butler has been renominated for
Congress by the RepuVlioans of Massaohu
sets. The nomination is one eminently fit to
be made by that party. In every particular
but one he is their best representative mac
the type of their morals, their political prin
ciples, the agencies they employ, their cruelty,
their cowardioe, their mean hatreds, and the
keen rapacity which never loses sight of its
object. In only one respeot does the type. fail.
Not a statesman, not versed in the higher
theory and walks of politics, shallow alike In
hibtory, constitutional law, and kuowing,'
caring nothing at au or the means whereby a
State may be made great, powerful, enduring,
and prosperous, Bailer is nevertheless smart,
cunnmg, tricky, and armed with a sort of
low wit that elevates him far above his Con
gressional associates; and these give him an
intellectual pre eminence among them whioh,
however annoy ing to the vanity of persons
like Bingham and Schenck, is nevertheless an
indisputable faot. It is by him and men
smaller than be, and not less base, that the
oountry has been governed for years, and
will continue to be governed if the Republi
cans triumph in the Presidential election. The
election of Grant means simply a perpetua
tion of the ruinous dynasty of Butler, Sumner,
Wilson, Ashley, Schenck, Bingham, Don
nelly, and Wasubnrne. . ,
During the last year Mr. Butler, or General
Butler (no matter which), has steadily risen in
lLOuence among tne radicals, uuill in their
most distinctive and important party measure,
viz., the impeachment of the President, he be
came not only leader, bat manager of the
party. He owed this even less to his own au
dacity than to the incapability of his associates,
whose resources fell so far snort of their ambi
tion that tbeie was nothing left for them to do
but to let JJutJer take the lead. In maoy re
spects that we could mention Butler is the best
type of the Kepubllean party that we can now
think of. This party constantly parades its
services and sacrifices during the late war;
but it is written in the memory of all that
the most these leaders did was to put in
substitutes, make fat contracts with the
Government, and to invest in Government
loans at forty cents gold to the hundred, ou
which bonds they now demand not only six
per cent, interest in gold, but also ask a viola
tion of the express terms of the contract,
stipulating payment in lawful money. It was,
on their part, a safe sort of patriotism, and
consisted cbleny in making money and egging
on others to the front. Now, who better than
the hero of New Orleans and Fort Fisher to
exemplify this sort of patriotism ? Aeain.
Butler was a violent Breckinridge man in 1860;
he voted steadily for Jeff. Davis at Charleston
as the most ultra Southerner he could find;
and when, in October, 1860, be was satisfied
that Mr. Lincoln's election was a foregone
conclusion, ne preaiotea, eulogized, and de
fended, in this city, the secession of the
South, exultingly asserting that it would
lead to the utter destruction and ruin of
what he was pleased to term the "Black
Republican party." Suoh are the "loyal"
antecedents of this loyal candidate for Con-
giesp, and who, we demand, could better illus
trate the hypocrisy of a party whioh bugs
lloJdt-D, Unnnicutt, and Joe Brown all vio
lent secessionists to its bosom ? Again, look
at the whole man, bis entire moral nature, and
see if there be any man whose utter destitu
tion of moral pi inoiple, whose ntter indiffer
ence even to the opinions of mankind, render
mm so nt to lead a baud ot leaders who are
confessedly without shame, whose stock in
trade is agitation and stirring up of hatrels,
conflicts, and a war of ra:es f Who fitter than
he to bead an organization whicii, as it only
lives and rattens ty public disorder, naturally
cherishes and uses the powers of government
to perpetuate that condition of affairs, without
which it would, as many ot its supporters
have admitted, cease to exist as a party f The
presenoe and predominance of men like Butler
iu the public councils mark the decadence of
publio virtue. The age of gold has given
place to au age ot brass, days of insolent
vice, a rapaoious cruelty that vaunts itself
loyal without a blush, and spurns the Consti
tution on all occasions, save only as the mere
stepping-stone to the offices by which plunder
is to i wrung irom tne people, if we are
ever to escape from this shameless degeneracy
and prostitution tf the publio morals whioh
this nomination serves so fitly to exemplify, it
is by the utter defeat of the Republican party.
and the advent to power of men pledged to
reform. Will any man tell ns that this is to
be scoured by the eleotion of Butler, Donnelly.
