He was preaching secession and treason when Alex ander 11. Ssei’iiens of Georgia, was stump ing the South in behalf of the Union, and with tears in his eyes pleading eloquently for tho Stars and Stripes.

Ho skins the old sinner alive, and exposes his base at tempt to cripple the President in his efforts to restore the Union. That Convention pass ed a resolution eulogistic' of Stanton 1 An other resolution finds fault with President Johnson. His scheme of restoring the Union, the President is plainly told, is not in accord ance with the views of old Tuan and the other shoddyites and “ loyal thieves” who composed that pie-bald Convention. Mr. Blair shows that that Convention,was com posed of bud men who are hostile to the ad ministration, and ho warns his Republican friends to repudiate its treasonable recom mendations. # IMT. Blair next pays his respects to Sew ard pljells 11 another member of the Cabinet. [Wo have not room fur his remarks on the Secretary of State this week.] The charge preferred against Mr. Seward is that, by in trigue and management with Mr. Stanton, who was in the confidence of the leaders of the Southern movement, he allowed the sep aration to taka place, and indeed by bia whole conduct aided and abetted the efforts of those who were plotting the work which ho bus since so vehemently denounced.— There never has been a charge made by the radical press against thd Democratic and its prominent men of giving aid and comfort to those in arms against the constitu tional authority of the nation which the facts presented by Mr. Blair do not fasten upon Mr. Seward in such a way as to command full belief. Mr. Seward was cognizant of the mysterious manoeuvring of Mr. Uarvet, who was afterwards appointed to a responsible position by Mr. Lincoln, with the leaders of the rebellion at Charleston ; ho possessed through the agency of Mr. Stanton the con- fidences of the Southern leaders, and played for, and against tho Union, in that terrible emergency, thus inspiring tho secessionists with faith in the ultimate success of their cause. While the Secretary of State was tinkling his little bell, and consigning inno cent men to bastiles, without warrant or any form of law, ho was conscious that oh his head rested ns much of the misery and crime attached to tho rebellion as on that of any other man in tho country. Tho late speech of Mr. Blair has conclusively demonstrated this. What a revelation is this! It is now placed beyond a doubt that Seward, Secre tary of State, and Stanton, Secretary of War, aided by the creature Harvey, and other confidential friends of the administra tion, were tho men who first advocated se cession and treason, and by their incessant appeals and promises of aid; induced the South to revolt! What was their object, some may ask. We answer Money. Look at the tens of thousands of men who can now boast of their tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars, who four years ngo could not command a bauboe. Look at the armies of office-holders, contractors, spies, in formers, vagabond chaplains, that have boon ( and are still quartered on the Government, hanging like leeches upon its bleeding vitals, and sucking its life-blood. Ah, it is not diffi cult to account for tho the treason of the lead ers of tho Republican party ; they desired war—war for four years, with a million and d quarter of men in our armies—so that they, the villains, might rob and plunder, and be come rich through tho agency of men’s bloDd and women’s tears. This was their object, and Montgomery Clair and Judge Kelly, two prominent Republicans, now hold up the guilty culprits to the gaze of tho people, and demand that they bo regarded as trai tors, conspirators and thieves, and treated as such. Let their advice be hooded, and ** let justice be done.” Well Matcued.— Col. Jacob M. Campbell and Lieut. Col. John P, Linton, the nomi nees of the two political parties, for Survey or General, are from the same county (Cam bria), both belonged to the same Regiment in tho service, and both were unsuccessful candidates before their respective district conferences for tho nomination for State Sen ator. Wo doubt whether two candidates for a State office were ever selected under (simi lar circumstances. PARDON OP THE RUPERTS.

Davis been placed in a civil posi tion under tho Government, (such as post master, for instance,) where there is no risk of loosing life or limb, and in which is light and the pay heavy; and had he, through a newspaper owned by him, ** bit the hand that feeds him,” —as, for instance, tho post-master of Harrisburg is doing, by supporting tho Cameron platform and de nouncing the President’s “ mild and gener ous method,” —thou would ho, indeed, bo an “ ungrateful dug.” But. Col. Davis held no such civil position lie took his life in his hand and made an of foring of it to his country. He owes nothing for his “ feed,” hut it owes hijn a debt that ean never be repaid. No soldier who gave his person and his life to the eauso can bo hold in gratitude for the trifle of food and money which it has furnished, for ho gave more than ho received. The great Treasury of the nation, before the war, cou,ld not have pur chased the good right hand'which this same Col. Davis has given to his country , And yet, although Col. Davis, like thou sands of other bravo soldiers, has been woun ded and maimed, and although ho has risked all that a man hath to give, ho and his fel low heroes are to bo accounted “ ungrateful dogs” because they happen to differ with the civil olliee-holders and the cowardly sneaks and sncculators who stuckjto their homes and m-roly shouted “ down with the traitor and up with the flag.” If the soldier who has fought and suffered and bled for his country is not to have a voice in shaping its future destiny through political principles he be lieves to bo the best; if he, as a freeman, is not to bo allowed the same right of choice, in selecting officers of the Government, as the thief who has preyed upon the substance of the nation or played ignoble mouth-piece for a base shoddy aristocracy, then ho has been thrice a fool to have risked his life as the tool of grasping office-holders and domineering demagogues. The people will determine whether Col. Davis; the maimed soldier, or the stay-at horao sneaks who slander him and oppose the President’s policy while they are fed at his hands, (biting the hand that feeds them,) most rightfully deserves the name of ” na grateful dog." —Patriot d# Union. . A DifflNlSfl ‘RECDUB. If eyor tluero was n record which olioald condemn an Administration to perpetual in famy, it is the recently published list 01 our soldiers ■who perished at AndersonviUc. ihe list of Pennsylvanians, for one year only, embraces •-•over seventeen hundred names I Seventeen hnndrod of our best and bravest lcft!bo dio by inches, without shelter, without 1 hopo,-iv\moBt without food and why ? Simply I because! the Administration, through that baso tool, Beast Butler, refused to exchange prisoners unless the Confederate authorities would Acknowledge the black soldier to bo tho equU of the white one ; and because the “ loyal" friends of tho Administration would not permit ao exchange, for fear that the Re bel army, when reinforced by the -exchanged prisoners, would be too strong for our forces in tho field, and they, tho “ loyal" monatoro -1 said, would have to stand their chance in an other draft. It is said that when Secretary Stanton was urged to affcct-.an exchange, and thus sate our poor fellows from starvation, he replied, “I’ll bo d——d if I'll exchange f&t, healthy men fir skeletons-I" Whether this state-,, menth true or not,-it is certain that our go vernmmt could, at any time during last two or three years of the war, have relieved our oterving men. Wo had nearly twice as many prisoners as tho Rebels had, and tho fact tlat our men were left to perish by thou sands when they might have been rescued, cannot bo disproved. At one timo tho pris oners at Andcrsonvillo, with the consent of the Confederate authorities, sent four of their comrcdes to_stato theirgrievances _to our Go vernment; but these men w.ero kept in Now York, where they first landed, tho furloughs permitting them to visit Washington were kept from them, and but for the persistent efforts of.thd'reporters of tho New York press, who visited the men and had their statement published, the Northern people would never have known anything about their arrival. — The Government was willing, that- thousands of white men should starve, if nngro-equality could be established by the sacrifice. Yet the Abolitionists, who aided smd abet ted Stanton, Lincoln &> Co., in their acts of heartless cruelty, pretend to be tho friends of the soldiers That any soldier or any citizen who ever had a relative in a Rebel prison pen, can endorse tho policy of a party which lias sacrificed thousands of our soldiers, by tho most terrible of deaths, on the. altar of negro-equality, is strange, indeed. Better to have had more drafts, more years of war, than to have thus condemned our brave boys to a lingering death by starvation and expo sure. Xo glance over the list of Pennsylvanians is enough to make one heartsick. What then must, it be to look over the long list of thousands of names, representing every Nor thern State, in the grand total ? Thousands of half-naked, freezing, starving men, lying upon the bare ground, under the open sky, perishing slowly bub surely, while the shod dy “ loyalists” leclincd in their easy chaiis, in the fullness of plenty 1 The dying soldier turning his dim and sunken eyes appealingly northward, as ho murmurs, “Oh, ye who yet can save us have ye left us hero to die?”— while the bloated nigger-worshipper sips his wine in his gorgeously furnished' mansion, and swears that there shall Bo no exchange until blacks and whites are declared equal; and when even that point is conceded by the Confederate government, declines an ex change because he ftars that the Jlebel army will be too much strengthened by the prison ers in our hands ! What did such men oare for the soldiers? Absolutely nothing. They wished to use the bayonets and ballots of those in the field—the poor, dying men they 1 were done with; they could use them no longer ; they might perish tor aught they cared. No nation can prosper while its rulers have so much blood and misery to answer for as has the Administration of the Abolitionists. Shame upon a government which would re sort to such a mean, cruel, cowardly expedi ent to keep out of tho rebel ranks a few thou sands of mon, as tho starvation of twice that number of our soldiers, while a million or two of “ loyal” men, who had never carried a musket, were clamoring for'a “ vigorous pro secution of tho war ;” and more shame upon tho American people if they countenance such actions hereafter. —Poltsville standard. THE SWARM OF GENERALS. Tho reason why such an army of Generals is kept in service is becoming an inquiry of inteicst to those who pay the taxes. Q n the 28th ot July last, an order was issued from the Adjutant General’s office, Washington, assigning one hundred and six Major and Brigadier Generals to duty in tho nineteen military divisions into which tho country is sub-divided. These do not include tho gen eral officers commanding negro troops, those on staff duty, and those specially detailed in orders from the War Department. These all told cannot count up much less than two hundred general officers retained in service months after tho war is ended to all intents and purposes. Let us see how those general officers are employed. General Hooker is placed in com mand of the Department of tho East, which embraces tho New England States, New York and Now Jersey, and six Major and two-Bngadier Generals are assigned to him for duty. Hois expected.to find places for them, and he therefore scatters them around bis department. It requires three of them to keep the State of New York in order, and one Brevet Major General takes charge of New Jersey. Before the war General Wool commanded this same Department tho East, and hud not a general officer under him. It can bo done now just as easy as then. Ihero is not a full brigade of troops in the whole department, and some of the districts have not a Major’s command in them. If an officer of the latter rank could not take charge of any one of these districts after four years of experience, he would de serve to be turned out of service. While we were a Colonel in the service we commanded a larger force, in active operations, than Gon.- oral Hooker c-mimauds to day. Then it was tho custom to compel Colonels to do tho doty of Major Generals, but now tho rule is more than reversed, for Generals are permitted to do the duty of Majors. The other eighteen departments are us liberally supplied with generals. Tho number of general officers would 'not make so much difference were they not such ao expensive article, for they and their staffs do nut cost tho country much less than a million and a half of dollars a year ; and many of them do not earn their 1 rations. How the administration can have tho con science to keep up such an expensive milita ry establishment in time of peace wo cannot toll. There is not an armed enemy within all our borders, and the country ‘was never more quiet than now. With the people lit terally groaning under taxation, the expen diture is as profuse as though wo did nut owe u dollar. If this great military incubus is kept up, it will crush out the martial in stincts of tho people, and cause the very name of a soldier to bo dispisod —.Doylesiown Democrat.

STANTON GETS FITS. Mr Stanton, now Secretary of- War, then Attorney General, was in full sympathy with the lenders m Congress who dragged the South into rebellion. Ho mot Senator Brown, of Mississippi, at the door of the Supreme Court as ho passed from the hall of tho Sen ate, after taking leave of it as a soccsssioniat forever. lie encouraged him ; told him ho was right; it was the only course to save tho South ; ho must keep his constituents up to it,’ &c. This is proved by Mr. Brown, for merly Senator from Mississippi, who men tioned it at the time to the lion. James S. Hollins, of Missouri. Mr. Snalsbury, Senator from Delaware, by a resolution offered to the Senate last winter, proposed to substantiate it before a committee of that body ; but the committee was not granted. The fact is con firmed; too, by tho known relations of the Secretary to parties at tho time, and I have assured by one of his colleagues an’s Cabinet that in his intercourse with his associates ho was most violent in denouncing any attempt to maintain the Union by force, and continued his denunciations till after he entered Mr. Lincoln’s Cabinet. la it not for that ho was so lauded and glorified by the Thud. Stevens party in the resolutions of tho recent convention at. Ilar -1 risbur", in,which President Johnson is sub stantially pronounced an USURPER For pro i suming’to sot up'governments in Uio S'mth l ern States, instead of calling on Congress to j take the subject in baod, to which they : claim it belongs exclusively ? They declare also that these States should not’be allowed State Governments, and their motive for claiming authority for Congress is evidently because they believe* Congress would not sanction tho organization of. such govern | moots. Mr. Stanton concurs wiih them, and has been and is jet aiding them effectively in their scheme. This explains the retention so long of a vast and unnecessary military force, and some of the remarkable movements made by portions of it, involving enormous expenditures, as I believe, against the wish es of the General-in-Chief and tho remon sfrences of the Secretary of the Treasury.— Besides the CORRUPTION FUNDS thus secured, ifserves to bankrupt the Treasury, and thus compel the call of Congress, a great point in the gam& of his associates. TUAD. STEVENS* PLATFORM SHOWN CP. According to the programme of the Ste vens resolutions, there are no loyal men in tho South but the enfranchised, blacks, the whit 6 man who succumbed to the usurpation and obeyed its behests—as this very man was compelled to do—is disfranchised as disloyal. In logical sequence from this state of facts, the National Legislature is to absorb all le gislation, State and National, over the whole South. It is,to assume absolute power over everything south of Mason and Dixon’s line —and how is it to be exercised? Mr. Stevens, forgetting that dur govern ment was bound by the Constitution to pro tect the people of every State from all do mestic violence and usurpation,. as well as foreign invasion, and in failing to do it might be justly held to indemnify tho loyal peoplp who have suffered by tho rebellion, has the hardihood to declare in his resolutions that the people of tho South, en masse, confound ing tho innocent with the guilty, are bound, out of their substance; to pay tho whole Na tional debt incurred by the war. This is somewhat like tying a millstone round the neck of every man of tho commonalty and throwing him into tho ocean. It certainly overwhelms him in .a, flood from which ho can hardly swim out with such a weight. But lest some men who have considerable substance in land or other estate that has survived the.war may go to w’ork and build up again nn independence for themselves and’ their devoted country, Mr. Stevens has pro vided another swooping resolution, which cuts down at one blow all such aspirations. The resolution* is that confiscation, like our great reaping machines?shall be driven by a steam' engine of our absolute Government— absolute over the South—and reduce all for tunes to ten thousand dollars value. It does not say whether the valuation is to be Con federate paper or greenbacks. But whether it bo one or the other, the stubble-field will bo little worth the gleaning when we shall have first extracted the war debt from the unhappy subjects,of the rebellion. To get a Government sufficiently hardened to execute these decrees, Mr. Stevens appeals to the soldiers, and tells tlieai that no man is ever to be nominated for any office unless he has served in the field. So they are to be .the dis pensers of all the spoils of tho stript, the na ked children. How little this veteran politi cian knows the magnanimous patriots- who fought their battles for the liberal and mer ciful institutions of our country 1 They are tho last men in tlio world to urge cruelty in cold blood. These men when hungry took the bread out of their own haversacks and gave with their canteens to their prostrate foes. Let them judge the South, and wo are all brothers. Mi. Stevens next promises the manufac turers unbounded protection if they will only help him to strip the South and reduce it to utter rum. The manufacturers, so far from doing this, will lend it their capital, at least credit, that they may clothe them and ena ble them'tu produce fresh material for their operatives and rieli markets fur tho result of their successful industry. Ho appeals to tho holders of the Government, bonds, say ing the plunder of tho South is to pay their debt. They will reply, we will not kill the goose that laystho golden egg. But who is to execute ttie Draconic decrees of Tlmddcus and his omnipotent parliament ? Who is, to squeeze out the tuxes from tho desolated South to pay the whole war debt? Who- is to carry out the sweeping confisca tion throughout all robelddm, and divide the lands among" 4 * tho only loyal people of tho , South,’'—the negroes ? The resolutions ■ name tho President as a proper sort of man ; but he is plainly told that his scheme of restoring tho Union will not do. It is.too rosewater, milk-water— loo lenient; and *yet Mr. Stevens says the rebels reject it. But Thad'deus knows a man who can do the business, who can compile his doomsday bo'ik of conquests and confisca tions. Who could be belter fitted for it than the man to whoso prodig.ous energies and excellencies it would seem all our successes are to bo ascribed? He has a resolution of extollation in the platform ail to himself, ex alting him by name, in contrast with the poor cital made of tho President to make Inm, like a “ Hyperion to a Satyr.” The rest of tho Cabinet are thrown in the lump, not named but as the “colleagues” of Mr. Stanton. They, are worthy gentlemen that must piissi Now this is not altogether an absurd dis tribution of parts id the Executive power, considering the work cut out for it by Mr, Stevens. He is radical from the foot to the crown of tho head. Ho is a root-and-branch man, and could spare nothing of the Govern ment but tho body—the Congress—and. that ho would turn into a revolutionary club.— lie wants a revolution. He* wants” a Murat to work it up. Who can fill tho function so well as Mr. Stanton ? He wants a guillotine, lie wants a Santerso, the butcher, to reign on its scaffold and ply its axe. Can any one doubt that Mr. Stanton would, take this part ? And if Mr. Stevens would add peculiar bit terness to the execution of the pruceaa of his revolutionary tribunals in wasting tho South and harrowing the feelings of its victims, could there bo a better selection of an agent to pour gall into tho wounds than Mr. Stan :hol tOD? _ 1 SCT" Market prioo of Gold, 144.

In this city tho Republicans said that all tho offices should ho given to tho soldiers, but took good care to put none but old hacks, whoso sides are worn with tho harness and seamed with the lash of the party, upon tho ticket. Generals Owen and Collis, and Colonel Clarke were good enough to meet tho hardships and dan gers of the battle field, while Leaguers drank their brandy and smoked their cigars, and tho office-holders pocked their thousands of dollars per" annum; good enough to bo amused with promises, but not good enough to shore tho emoluments of office. This is so well understood in our city that the soldiers have become disgusted,, and tho result at the polls will show how ineffectual are tho hypo critical attempts of the Republicans to coax to the support of their nominees the tho bravo men just returned from the labors and c’tir nngo of tho bat;l;-fi-ld. The truth is. that while tho Republican party aro everywhere trying to overreach the soldier by tricks and deception, the Demo crats are recognizing their claims in tho most substantial manner. In lowa they have adopted tho soldiers’ ticket; in this State they have placed two bravo soldiers upon tho Slate ticket. In Phyadelphia they have no minated three soldiers, Colonel Bifidlo, Ad jutant Weaver and Captain Reilly, for lucra tive offices. ’So long as the Republican party could use the soldiers to prop their tottering political edifice, they were loud in promises and wordy in compliments. But when the . soldiers asked for a fulfilment of previous pledges they were denied, and banishod from I tho Convention by'a vote that w»s a virtual insult to'thorn. The Democratic party were the friends of the soldiers of 1776, of 1812, of 1847, and they, are the real friends of the sol diers of 1861. This is shown by the action of the party in Pennsylvania and lowtf, and the soldiers willnot overlook the fifit.— The Age. Tue PaopiTS op Office. —The Republican Administration pays its office-holders with a liberality and prodigality not only unknown in the past history of the country, but as founding even in royal and imperial Europe. One of our Republican exchanges, the Phila delphia Inquirer, thus notices the appoint ment of Preston King to the office of Collect or of New York. -It says,: “The office is supposed to bo the .most lu crative one within the gift of the President. Simeon Draper is understood to have realized from it, in an entirely TS||itimate way, nearly a hundred thousand dpjiars in less than a year. In ordinary times it is worth about thirty thousand a.-ycar.” One hundred thousand dollars from one of fice I—all legitimate profits I—in one year 1 Who wpuld not be a Republican patriot at such a magnificent price - - -: ■« • There are seven Major General, glittering in gold lace and stars, who have recently been appointed to take charge of a few thou sand troops in Now York and New England: These Major Generals got six or seven thou sand dollars a year, and have also with them an expensive and numerous staff in each in stance. About the only business of them all is to drink, play billiards and gallant the la dies. Yes, they have one other duty, which is thus stated by the Rochester Union; “ Six Major Generals of volunteers, under the Department Major General, who in turn is under,the Grand Division Major General, all to remind the good people of New, York, New Jersey and New ,England, that the Stan tonian system of government-jtho'greatest invention since the days of Joshua—is still in existence, though the rebellion is dead.” Shooting in Court.— While 11. P. Allen, Esq., was addressing the jury,-in summing up the evidence in the case of the Common wealth vs. Joel Sanford,, who was at the bar on his .trial, charged with adultery with Eliz abeth Gouldy, who was alsj sitting in the bar of the Court, John B. Gouldy,, the prosecu tor and husband of the woman, stopped be hind Sanford and attempted to shoot the pris oner. The pistol did not explode, and in an instant the prisoner clenched Gouldy and threw him down, and during the struggle two 6 shots-were fired by Gouldy, none of them ta king effect, though the court room was dense ly crowded. A panic seized the vast assembly—some fled out of the windows and took refuge on the stone cornice, while the crowd rushed for the doors. After a scene of tho wildest ex citement, Gouldy was secured and taken to jail, and the trial resumed. Jchn B. Gouldy was a soldier in tho late war. During his absence his wife dishonored him, and had a child, said to belong.to San ford. Upon his return, discovering that his wife, during his absence, had been, playing the harlot and rioting on the money he sent hep, caused both to be arrested. . The evidence in tbs case shows the sad condition of. demoralization, resulting. from tho late wan —Williamsport Democrat, O"' "Bond-ocracv.” Before the war there were about three -billions of dollars worth of slaves in the country, owned by loss than half a million people. This was called the slave-ocracy. The capitalists of tho coun try have made war upon and demolished the slaveocracy. It has cost three billions to do it. The Southern slaves are turned into gov ernment bonds, which are held by less than half a million of capitalists. Slaveocracy is turned into Bondocraoy. And the question comes, shall we accord tho Bond-holder a privilege the slaveholder never asked an exemption from taxation? This is abolish ing slavery—in a horn I It sets sambo loose, but binds the chains of eternal servitude up on tho white laborer. fO’ The Emperor of Austria has signed a decree'ordering the suppression of military tribunals for the trial of offenses committed by civilians in Hungary.— Ex. : The Emperor of the United States has or dered the continuance of the military tribu nals, for the. trial of offenses committed by civilians in the States.
