Now that the- candidates anti forms of tho two great political pa rties are in the field, it is the duty of the working men of the land—khe men whoso unceasing toil lias made this country what it is—to look. atthe issues , of the hour, and decide on which side their interest, their ho'.ior, their liberty, compels them to tak o a stand. It is the working men of this country who mo to decide tho contest, and it is time for them to feel and know their power, and to act intelligently and for the best in terests of thcnisolvca, their families and their country. The tillers of tho soil, the plow-holders, the mechanics and laborers of the country are to decide the issue of the coming contest, and upon that decision hangs not only their individual security,.comfort and happi ness, but also tho national peace and prosperity. Tho success of tho lladical party in the coming election means the triumph of monopoly over individual rights, the triumph of centralization over tho po litical equality of tho States, the--tri umph of military rule over tho rule of the. Constitution, tho increase of the national debt and the public, burthens, and the final establishment of political and social amalgamation. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” If these charges are not true, why isitthatchar ters are granted to huge monopolies, carrying with them millions of acres of land, which ought by right to go to the poor but honest laborer. Why are eight millions of our own race to day under the rule of the- bayonet, while twenty , millions in the North are burdened with oppressive taxation,for the main tenance of that rule? Why is it that the habeas corpus has been suspended, and the dearest earthly rights of tho citizen placed at the mercy of irrespon sible military satraps? Can there ho any guarantee of future prosperity, un der a policy that wrings from the sweat and toil of the country five hundred millions of dollars annually for tiro maintenance of a large standing army and a mamoth negro boarding house, while hundreds of thousands of white laboring men are thrown out of em ployment entirely, and the balance are barely able to earn a scanty liveli hood? Tho Republican party profess to bo in favor of retrenchment and re form, but ho.v does it come that, al though sixteen hundred millions have been collected by them since tho close ol tho war, the national debt is as grind ing, as crushing and as oppressive as ever? On thoir own testimony more than half of it was stolen by lladical officials. Let the laboring man answer for himself tire question why there should he gold for tho men who pay no tax on their bonds, and greenbacks for the people who aro taxed lo pay the in terest on those bonds? If tire Radical party is notin favor of social and polit ical amalgamation, why is it that they have disfranchised thoir own race and placed thorn under tire domination of tire blacks, or why is it that they force black and white cbil Iren together in the schools? What they have done in ' the past, they will continue to do in tho ' future. The oppressors of mankind ' never grow lenient from feeding on claim for him as has been claimed for p oWer CARLISLE.

The last issue of Tub Caucasian "contained, on the first page, a- splen did poftoiit of Horatio Seymour, the I NationarDemootTiTitrlSlorrunco for the Presidency. As a likeness it is life-like, and decidedly the best we have, ever seen. Our standard bearer looks a gen tleman, a scholar and astatesman, every inch of him. Wo cannot claim for Horatio Seymour that he “ talks horse’’, or is posted on the good qualities of 11 Marshall Brown’s pups,” er as Theo dore Tilton claims for the sage and si lent Grant, that “he is occasionally seen fuddled on the streets,” or that, ho ever rode around a circus ring with a monkey perched on his shoulders, amidst the deafening applause of a de lighted audience. But we do claim that he is a modest, discreet and conscien tious Christian gentleman, who does his duty, as God has given him to see it, in all the relations of life. We do not claim that, he was educated at the public expense, and notwithstanding the advantages of a West Point educa tion, was the lowest man in the class at graduation, and was subsequently dis missed from the service for incompeten cy, as has been claimed for a certain Presidential candidate. But we do claim that he is one of the ripest schol ars, has one of the most highly cultiva ted intellects and is one of the most vig orous thinkers in the whole line of pub lic men of both parties. We cannot General Grant, that he has been on all sidesof the public questions of iheday, or that he has published to the world that he has no opinions of his own, but will be governed entirely by the wishes of the rotten ring of politicians who surround him. But we do claim that as an honest, sagacious and far-seeing statesman, Horatio Seymour has no equal in the United States. With the natural instincts of a high-toned gentle man and an intellect expanded by varied experience in public affairs, there is no man so well qualified for the first position in’ the gift of the American people. Such was the almost unani mous voice of the delegates who came to New York from all sections of the country. Four times, in the most pub lic and emphatic manner, he had do- olintd a nomination, as averse to his persona! inclinations; and finally it was forced upon him by the unanimous voice of the Democracy of the Union. The man sought not the office, but the olßice sought the man. His nomim tion is no mere personal compliment, hut the solemn deelaration of tiic representatives of two thirds of the people of this country that Hora tio Seymour is the man, above all others, into whose hands might to he conSmitted the dearest interests of the nation. The Democratic delegates did not go to New York as the Republicans did to Chicago, with their nominations cut and dry. To the Convention were submit ted thenamesof such distinguished gen tlemen as George H. Pendleton, Thom ns A. Hendricks, Winfield Scott Han cock, Andrew Johnson, James E. Eng lish, Revordy Johnson, James R. Doo little, Salmon P. Chase, Joel B. Parker, Ai-n Packer, Sanford E. Church and Frank P. Blair, whoso eminent services in the cabinet, on the bench and in the field have long given them national reputations. Had the Convention mere ly intended a personal compliment tj one of our most distinguished conserva tive statesmen, it could not have gone amiss in selecting any of the gentlemen presented to its consideration. But there was more than this to bo done. Tho imperiled interests of (lie country demanded tho selection of one mighty to deliver from thoembarrassnientsnnd dangers' which beset, the nation, and there was one to whose conspicuous ability all eyes were turned—Hint man was Horatio Seymour. For Vico President the Convention has placed in nomination Major General Frank Blair, of Missouri, a gallant sol dier of the Unipn army, wlio comman ded a. corps in Sherman’s victorious legions. He was for mniiy years one of the lenders of tlio Republican party in the lower house of Congress, and was an ardent supporter of the recon struction policy of President Lincoln, but in connection with all the great men who once gave character to that organization, long since cut loose from it and united himself with the Democ racy. He will create the wildest enthu siasm amongst the soldiers of the great west, and will notonly bring back Mis souri to the Democratib ranks, but will insure the Western States for the Dem ocratic ticket. The unbounded enthu siasm with which these nominations have been received over the length and breadth of tile land, gives earnest of a glorious and overwhelming victory in November, over the desperate and ma lignant hosts of Radicalism, THE ISSl)E«. TLiq Democratic party mnvyaU»e\f In direct antagonism to those outrages of the Radical party. It has no conceal ments fo make. If placed in power, It will reduce the standing army and remove the heel of the military power from the necks of the white people of the South. It will abolish the Freedinen’s Bu reau. ' It will economize the public expendi tures, and pay off the public debt in greenbacks, where it has not been ex pressly provided by the law creating them, that they shall be paid in gold. It will see that every State, North or South, is guaranteed n republican form of government, under the Consiitution, in that it shall decide the qualifications of its own voters, without interference from abroad. It will endeavor to restore financial prosperity to the South, now desolated by Radical legislation, and thus not on ly enable that sec.ion of the country to bear its ju-l proportion of tile national debt, hut will build tip tile vast trade winch oar northern merchants and manufacturers formerly transacted with the Southern people. There is nothing in these pledges which the Democracy will not ho able to accomplish. Why they can do so, and the Radical party cannot, we will show at another lime, l.ct the inher- ing men, then, think well before they make up their minds how they will vote. That vote will decide whether we are to have the Republic our fathers cave us, or the hideous mongrelism which Radicalism is endeavoring to es tablish. MAKE WAY FOR THE REACH EMPIRE’ One day Inst week, Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, introduced in the House of Representatives at Washington, a bill “to authorize the Secretary of War to deliver certain ordnance to the States of Arkansas, Louisiana, North Catoli nn, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida, for the use of the militia on the discontinuance of the military gavernmonts therein.” This is intend ed for the purpose of arming the blacks in the South, in order to keep Intelli gent while people under the heel of Radical oppression. The secret leagues have already formed the negroes into military companies, and they are offi cered and drill with a view to receive and use this ordnance. Was there ever invented a move diabolical engine for the subversion of civilized government than this? Will the people of the Nortli submit to so high-handed nn out rage? Will the white people of any section of the country, suffer this trans fer of the government ordnance to the possession of the ignorant, degraded and riotous blacks of tiro reconstructed States.— Patriot. ** Tho graves In a cemetery at Danvers, Mass, wore shamefully desecrated by parties unknown, recently. They were dug up, the sliver plates on tho coffins were stolon,aud the bones of ihc skel etons sold for manure. M —i2rc/tajj£7c. There Is but one. creature in nil this land who could be capable of such au outrage os this, and that one is the mis creant who stole a silver communion service from a Christian church, and dug up tho grave of Albert Sydney Johnson, in one of tho cemeteries at New Orleans, in his search for gold,— 1 His name is Beast Butler, chief ghoul 1 of the Badical party. GRANT THE UKFHENENTATIVF. OF lIAOICAI.IASI. 11 is tho design of tbe Radicals to cov er up tho issues of the pending contest with tho smoko they raise over Grant’s military achievements. They present abloody panorama of Shiloh, Vicksburg Coal Harbor and-Petersburg,.and urge these ms reasons why Grant should be | elected President of the United States. It is .scarcely -necessary to argue the question as to whether military achieve ments prove capacity for civil adminis tration, for no sane man pretends that they do. Nor Is it necessary, in tills connection, to nludo to tho fact that Grant lost nearly twice as many men as Lee's entire army was composed of, for if there be any merit whatever in .such a recommendation, it co’uld he urged with equal force in favor of any iirst class human butcher. We oppose the election of Grant, not simply becauseol his notorious unfitness for tho position —not simply because his military career was a series of blunders, which cost the cotmtry over ft hundred thousand hu man lives which should .have been saved—wo oppose him mainly because hois the representative of a party which advocates negro-suflrage and seeks to place nearly ouc-third of the States un der negro rule; because his election will continue a largo standing army in the South, at the expense of the tax-payers of the North, to inflict misery, poverty and distress upon the people of that sec tion, thereby enabling the New Eng land Radicals to maintain their control of the South as well as the general gov ernment; because his election will in crease the burdens of taxation, and bring grinding poverty to the farmer, mechanic and laboring man, in.order that a chosen few bondholders may revel in luxury and wealth ; because his election will keep in power a set ol graceless villains who disregard all the principles of the Constitution, trample the laws of their own making uudei their feet, and are last leading us into tho meshes of a remorseless military despotism, in fine wo oppose his elec tion because we believe Ins defeat is the only hope of the conn try—it will restore the government to the purity and sim plicity of Democratic rule—will weed out the speculators who fatten on tho' life-blood of tbe people—will reduce taxation, restore confidence, equalize thcpublic burthens, provicleone curren cy for the bondholder and the laboring man, will make tho people once more united, prosperous and happy, and will render our national name an honor throughout the world. Those are the principles on which we oppose the elec tion ofGeneral Grant. His battles luuvc been fought, and wo want the in-co-m- ing President to do no fighting. We have had enough of the storms of con flict, and now we want peace. All the questions involved In the contest are questions pertaining to peace, and this nation will not permit itself to be led on to destruction amid the noise and hurrah of bloody battles long since fought and settled. The party which can present no other platform to the people than a string of glittering gener alities, based on a heap- of bleaching skulls, must not hope for success. Troops Imaginary It has Just heeu ihseuveml Uml iWo government was defrauded of over a million and a-half of dollars in the War office, under the immaculate Stanton, in the single item of bounties for the negrosoldiers who “ fought so bravely.” Papers for whole regiments were forged in the office, presented and paid. These wore the very negro regiments—imag- inary ones—which did such wonderful service during the war, two hundred thousand of whom were organized by Stanton (on paper) and who “ put down the rebellion.” Cameron has now a vote of thanks before Congress to Stan ton, for organizing these men of straw and buckram. The tax-payers will bo surprised to learn that Hie large body of these men never fought, never existed, hat that they were treated as such bji .Stanton ; the pay was drawn, and Cam eron, of course, didn’t know it or ho Wouldn’t want to thunk Stanton. Oh, no. Tho tax-payers are still paying these very hills,and will continue to do so for all eternity if they do not wrest the government from tho hands of.these thieving radicals. PEMH.ETOX AND SETIIODB. The Cincinnati Enquirer , thq special organ of Mr. Pendleton, thus speaks of the noraipation of Governor Seymour for the Presidency: •• per twenty years no itmn Ims exerted a wider Influence on public nflnirs In tho Democratic party. No man Is hotter known or more highly admired than himself. He not only Ims no pouni of any party work, but he has no rival.— Gifted will) line presence, with n remarkable and copious flow of language, and with elegant dis tinction, ho Is unsurpassed as an orator. He Is the pride and ornament of the Empire State.— Ho commenced life as n Democrat, and has never wavered in Uls advocacy of that political' faith in his private life there Is no blemish bis morals are pure, and bis reputation untarnished. »->o was not a candidate for the nomination for the Presidency, but repeatedly declined, and it was only upon the solicitation of the West and the unanimous voleo of the Convention Ihpt he accepted tho nomination. Why, then, should ho not bo supported by the Democrats of tho entire country? What objection can ho reasonably urged against him 7 His character and qualifi cations are eminent as an orator, ho Is distin guished as a statesman. There Is no compari son boiween him and Grant, either practically o personally. Ho will be supported by the Dem ocracy ami will ba triumphantly elected. Ho ‘ was riot originally the chofce.of the West, os is well known; they preferred with extraordinary unanimity, Hon. Goo; H. Pendleton, but owing to adverse circumstances ho has been defeated and the nomination has fallen upon Governor Seymour, through tho action of Mr. Pendleton’s friends, wo do not hesitate to pledge him their cordial support. ANOTHER OUTRAGE, A project has been passed through Congress which is calculated to startle every reflecting man in the country.— It is that the electoral vote of no State shall be counted, unless tho represents lives of that State shall have been ad mitted to Congress. This places the whole presidential election under the control of Congress. Ifanyofthe South ern States vote Democratic, they ex clude them from Congress and refuse to count their electoral votes; if they vote the Radical ticket, they admit them to Congress and count their votes. In the name of justice, what new measure of •tyranny shall we have next? Do It.—Those who aro earnestly and actively working for the triumph of Democratic principles will give strength to their efforts by taking every oppor tunity to extend the circulation of the right kind of newspapers. By the right kind of papers wo mean those that are not afraid to speak of Radicalism as it is—papers that are not mealy-mouthed in their utterances, but fire the biggest and the hottest shot into tho camp of the enemy, and keep up the fire, along the whole lino, until the en emy’s colors are lowered in disgrace and defeat. INPOIIMATION WANTEU. , Although Generalj|Prant is candid enough to acknowledge that ho has no opinions of his own, ‘ which any white man is bound to respect”, yet he has gone so far ns to say, “I endorse the resolutions” passed at Chicago. Now one of those resolutions declare- that the negroes must have the ballot in the South—that negro suffrage must be forced upon tho white people of the South at any cost. Less than three years ago, Grant publicly declared, over his own signature, that “ tho extension of suffrage to the Southern negro would inaugurate a war of races, and that tho project was in all respects uncalled for, absurd and impracticable.” . This state ment was reiterated to Senator Doolittle and a dozen others, "his opinion was given just after his tour of observation through the Southern States, jmd before he commenced intriguing for the presi dential nomination with Stanton and tho Radicals. Was Grant dishonest in 18G5 or is he dishonest now? Wae he “foxing” then ris he“ foxing” now? Poes ho believe that negro suffrage “will lend to a war of races,” or does ho approve of it. Tho true state of tho case probably Is that his declaration of 1865 was his own honest, deliberate con viction, when he was free from the en tangling alliance with Stdveris, Butler, Stanton and Logan. Now, having placed himself entirely in their power, and pledged himself to do whatever they demand, lie meekly responds to the promptings of his owners and says, “ I endorse the resolutions, which I be- lieve will inaugurate a war of races and which I consider in all respects uncalled for, absurd and impracticable;” and then piously rolls up his eyes, folds Ins hands and cries hypocritically through his nose, “.Lotus have p ace!” xiik men aki: ron 111.11, Forney, in his “two papers, both laily,” exultingly proclaims that the rich men of the country support Grant. This is very natural. The shoddyiles, contractors,bond-holders,dec., who have fattened upon the Government and grown rich in the hour of its necessities, will bo found supporting the party that paved the way for the accumulation of their wealth. Contributing nothing in the way of taxes to support the Govern ment, they will, of course, desire the continuance of that party in power, so that the sources of their wealth may not be curtailed- . Arrayed against this purse-proud aristocracy will be found the honest, hard-working mechanics, ar tisans and laborers, wh have tot MI and produce to pay the-tuxes to support the Government, so that thieves, corrup tionists and demagogues may thrive andflourish. But their end draws near. The strong arm cf industry wilt cnish ihenu It was Grant, who had a white man, who had been legally elected Lieuten ant Governor of Louisiana, turned out of his office, and a coal black negro named Dunn, installed in his place.— With such a man in the Presidential chair we would soon bo governed by negroes in the North as well as the South. But then they “fought brave ly,” at least the bogus records of Stan ton’s War Department show so. Dan Sickles, a Colonel in the regu lar army, who never saw his regiment, is still at home, ready to address Radi cal meetings. Defeat Grant, and he must either join his regiment or retire to civil pursuits, and thus will be re removed ono (but not the only one) “ impediment” in the way of lessoning the public debt. J A Radical paper says: “The ne groes in the Alabama convention were iu excellent spirits, and closed their ser vices by singing 4 We’re going to Heav en a reeling and a rocking.’ ” To which an exchange says: 44 . That’s pretty much the way General Grant goes to bed.” The Radicals are organizing clubs and calling them 44 tanners.” This is sensible, as it compliments the only por tion of Grant’s life that is really worthy of respect.’ As a tanner ho was a great er success than ia soldier. ; Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton says “ Why not follow a gbod man with the Democratic party, rather than with the Republicans help to place a drunken soldier in the White House?” Why not ? . Immediately on the receipt of th e news of the nomination at New York, Mr. Pendleton telegraphed to Mr. Sey mour his congratulations, and preferred him his earnest and active support in the coming campaign. Miniature photographs of Grant set in breastpins have been served out to the Southern negroes by the Radical party, and are worn by those fragrant suffra gans in the bosoms' of such as have shirts. In 1864 Grant said that his “Pastes” did not lead him to the Presidency.— Tilton as authority.it is safe lo inquire, do not Grant's “tastes” lead him to the bar? / Wijes Hiram -was a little boy he rode around flic circus with a monkey on his back./ Now he is swing ing around the Radical ring witli a ne gro on his hack. / At the recent 'charter election in South Rend, Indiana, the home of the smiling Colfax, tl|e Democratic gain' was one hundred aipd seventy-nine. A IiETTEB of Colfax is published, toll ing the world ho\V to pronounce His name. It won’t b|) much pronounced after November next. It is said that the Radicals reduced the tax on whiskey because it will take such an immense quantity to carry on tho Gra.pt and Colfax campaign. Geeeley is reported to ho preparing a paper to prove Grant never was a tanner, and that ho lias always beeh a butcher. We don’t believe there are negroes and mean whites enough in the country to elect Grant our next President. ' Six freedmen spoke at a Democratic meeting at Tert-y, Miss., recently, against the Eadlcal policy. THE ITOI'J.i: HIIftREPKESENTED. The Radical'party boast that they re spect “tho will of tho people,” and yet New York, a State which is Democratic by over fifty thousand, is represented in tho United States Senate by two intense Radicals. New Jersey is also staunchly Democratic, and yet her place in tho Senate is filled by two Radicals, each of whom gained his po sition by fraud. For two years Con necticut has given a sound Democratic majority, and yet her Legislature has just elected a thorough Radical to suc ceed Mr. Dixon. Wade and Sherman misrepresent Ohio, which Is also Dem ocratic; and California, which has two Radicals in the Senate, is also Demo cratic to the core. In addition to this, in every one of the Southern States, gangs of scallawag adventurers from New England have everything in their own hands, and elect Radical Congrcss mert to misrepresent tho true voice of tho Southern people. But there is a day of reckoning coming, when tho voice of an outraged people will sot all things oven. The Philadelphia JPi-css thinks the “phraseology” of tho dispatches from Mississippi concerning the election in that part of M’Dowoll’s satrapy, “ very obnoxious and indecorous.” The thun der which will accompany the lightning in November, will bo quite os “ obnox ious” to Mr. Pornoy and much more “ indecorous.” The public debt increased during the month of May ten millions of dollars.— We have watched this matter for some time and find that while the debt has decreased one month say five millions, the next month it is sure to increase six millions. The truth is the people of the United States will never get out of debt under Radical rule. We understand that the tanner’s apvon is to be the badge of the support ers of Grant in the coming campaign. Wouldn’t a butcher’s apron suit better? Returns from all but two counties in Mississippi give a Democratic ma jority of 11,405. Nowhere do the people rush to see Grant, or seem to care a straw about him. The Democrats of Indiana claim they will defeat Grant and Colfax, in No vember, by 15,000 majority. THE PI AIFORJI. The Democratic party in National Con vention assembled, reposing its trust in tiie intelligence, patriotism, ami discrim inating justiceof the people, standing up on the constitution as the foundation and limitation of the powers of the govern ment, ami the guaranty of the liberties of the citizen,and recognizing the questions of slavery and secession as having been settled for all time to come by the war or the voluntary action of the Southern States in Constitutional Convention as sembled, and never to be renewed or re ngitated, do, with the return of peace, de mand : First , Immediate restoration of all the States to their rights in the Union under the Constitution, and of civil government to the American people. Second, Amnesty for all past political offenses, and the regulation of the elec tive franchise lu the States by their citi- Third , Payment of the public debt of the United Slates as rapidly as practica ble ; all money’s drawn from the people by so much as is requisite for the necessities of the government, economically administered, being hon estly applied'losuch payment,and whore the obligations of the government do not expressly stale upon their face, or the law under which they were issued does not provide that they shall be paid in coin, they ought, in right and in justice, to bo paid in the lawful money of the United States. [Thunders of applause.] Fourth , Equal taxation of every species of property according tp its real value, including government bonds, and,other public securities. [Renewed ‘cheering and cries of “ read it again.”] Fifth , One currency for the government and the people, the laborer and the office holder, the pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the bondholder. [Great cheering and cries of 41 read it again.”] The fifth resolution was again read, and again cheered. Sixth , Economy in tho administration of the government; the reduction of the standing army and navy; the abolition of the Freedmen’s Bureau [great cheer ing,] anti all political Instrumentalities designed to secure negro supremacy; f-implificatimi of the system, and discon tinuance of incite]toiiul assessing and col lecting internal revenue, so that the bur den of taxation maybe equalized and lessened, the credit of the government and the currency made good ; the repeal of all enactments for enrolling the State militia into national forces in time ol jeace, ami a tariff foT revenue upon fore gn imports, and such equal taxation un der tiie internal revenue laws as will af- ford incidental protection to domestic manufacturers, and as will without im- Dalring'the revenue, impose the least mnien upon and best promote and en courage the great industrial interests of the country. . Seventh , Reform of abuses in the ad ministration, the expluaiou of corrupt men from olhce, the abrogation of use less offices; the restoration of rightful authority to, and the independence of, the executive and judicial departments of the government; the subordination of the military to the civil power, to tlfti end that the usurpation of Congress and the despotism of the sword may cease. Eighths Equal rights and protection for naturalized and native-born citizens at home and abroad; the assertion of American nationality which shall com mand the respect of foreign powers and furnish an example and encouragement to peoploslruggling for national integrity constitutional, liberty and individual rights; and the maintenance of the rights of naturalized citizens against the übsolutedoctriuo of immutable allegiance, and the claims of foreign powers to pun ish them for alleged crime committed be yond their jurisdiction, [Applause.] In demanding these measures and re forms we arraign the Radical party for its disregard of right, and the unparallel ed oppression and tyranny which have marked its career. After the most solemn and unanimous pledge of both houses of Congress to pro secute the war. exclusively for the main tenance of the government and the pre servation of the Union under the Consti tution, it has repeatedly violated that most sacred pledge under which alone was rallied that noble volunteer army which carried our flag to victory. Instead of restoring the Union, it has, so far os is in its power, dissolved it, and subjected ten Btates, in time of profound peace, to military despotism and negro supremacy.. It has nullified there the right of trial by jury; it has abolished the habeas corpus— that most sacred writ of liberty, it has overthrown the freedom of speech and the press ; it has substitu ted arbitrary seizures, and arrests, and military trials, and secret star chamber inquisitions for the constitutional tribu nals ; it has disregarded in time of peace the right of the people to be free from searches and seizures; it has entered the post and telegraph offices, and even the private rooms of individuals, and seized their private papers and letters without any specific charge or.notlco of affidavit, as required by the organic law; it has converted the American Capitol Into ,a Imstile; it has established a system of ►pies and official espionage to which no constitutional monarchy of Europe would now dare tp resort; it nos abolished the right of appeal oq Importan tconstitutlon al.queatlons to thejaupreme Judicial tribu- nnls, and threatens to curtail or destroy its original jurisdiction, which is Irreyo- I cably vested by the Constitution, while the learned Chief Justice has been sub jected to the most atrocious calumnies, merely because he Would not prostitute his high office to the support of the false and partisan .charges preferred against the President. Its corruption and ex travagance have exceeded anything known in history, and by Us frauds and monopolies it has nearly doubled the burden of the debt created by the war.— It has stripped the president of his con stitutional power of appointment, even of hla own cabinet. Under its repeated assaults the pillars of the government are rooking on their baseband should it suc ceed in November next and inaugurate its'President wo will meet as a subjected and conquered people amid the ruins of liberty and the scattered fragments of the Constitution ; and wo do declare and re solve that ever since the people of the United States threw off all subjection to the British Crown the privilege and trust of suffrage have belonged to the several States, and have been granted, regulated and controlled exclusively by the-politi cal power of each Stale respectively, and that any attempt by Congress, on any pretext whatever, to deprive any Stale of this right, or interfere with its exer cise, is a flagrant usurpation of power which can find no warrant in the Consti tution, and if sanctioned by the people, will subvert our form of government, and can only end in a single centralized and. consolidated government, in which the separate existence of the States will be entirely absorbed, and an unqualified despotism be established in place of a Federal Uniou of co-equal States; and that we regard the reconstruction acts (so-called) of Congress, as such, aro usur pations, revolutionary and void. That our soldiers and sailors, who car ried the flag of our country to victory against a most gallant and determined foe, must ever be gratefuly remembered, and all the guaranties given in their fa vor must be faithfully carried into execu tion. That the public lands should be dis tributed as. widely ns possible among the people, and should be disposed* of either under the preemption or home stead laws, and sold in reasonable quan tities, and to none hut actual occupants, at the minimum price established by the government. When warrants of the public lands may be allowed necessry for the encouragement of important public Improvements, the proceeds of the sale of such lands, and not the lands themselves,, should be so applied. ThatthePresldentof the United States, Andrew Johnson [applause] in exercis ing the power of tils high office in resist ing the aggressions of Congress upon the constitutional rights of the States and the people, is entitled to the gratitude of the whole American people, and in be half of the Democratic party we tender him our thanks for bis patriotic pflbrts in that regard. [Great applause.] Upon this platform the Democratic party appeal to every patriot, including all the Conservative element, all who de sire to support the Conotitutlon and re store the Union, forgetting all past dif ferences of opinion, to unite with us in the present great struggle for the liber ties of the people, aud that to all such, to whatever party they may have heretofore belonged, we extend the right bund of fellowship, and hail all such co-operating with ns as friends and brethren.

On Friday evening last, two ratifica tion meetings were held in New York, one inside and the other outside Tamma ny Hal), at which the nominations for President and Vico, President were pub publicly tendered to Horatio Seymour and Francis P. Blair, and accepted by them. The following report of the pro ceedings we copy from »tho New York World : Mr. August Belmont came forward and said : Gentlemen: I have to propose to you as President of this meeting Hon. Sam’i. J. Tilden, of New York. (Cheers.) Mr. Tilden, on coming forward said.s SPEECH OF HON. 8. J. TILDEN. Fellow-Citizens: I congratulate you on tills spontaneous assemblage of the Democracy of our State. (Applause.) I did not myself know of this raeetigg un til a few hours ago. There does not seem to be any organization for the purpose of carrying it on and, therefore, I have been invited to accept the, duty of presiding on this occasion. As I came through to the hall I saw a vast heap of people, many times more than are here assembled.— (Applause.) I feel how strangely this meeting in here and the meeting outside, indicate the. spontaneuos uprising of the masses of the people, to increase the lib erties of the people. (Cheers.) For my parti have not entertained any gloomy apprehensions of the result of the Ropiest on which wo are about euteriug. (Ap plause.) I believe in God and in the peo ple. I believe we are destined to pre serve- and restore the great framework of American constitutional government. (Applause.) That we are to refound that govern men I on the liberties of the people. (Applause.) And that we are to restore in every part, of; this continent over which we exercise dominion, local self government to every integral portion of. the American people. (Cheers.) You know, ray fellow-citizens of New York, that I am noi. v«r.« u, the an ticipations which I form of political re- but I volunteer to predict, ami I call on our adversaries to record that pre diction, that if the Democratic party gather, as I believe they, will gather,’to this contest, they will hear our standard to a certain and assured victory. (Ap plause.) On the whole, I believe that wo have made the strongest and best nomination which wo could make, after as much deliberation as we have had.— (Cheers.) I am willing, myself, to notify all Conservatives to join with us in the movement to rescue our country. lam willing to accept the wager of battle that is given us. (Cheers.) J am willing, un der the standards whom we have chosen, to go forward and to place upon the chance of the day the destinies of the Democratic party, as also the destinies of our country and of mankind. (Cheers.) Aye, fellow-citizens, I say of mankind, because if this beautiful and splendid specimen of constitutional government that our fathers regarded as an experi ment. that we afterwards made perfect— if it shall fail now, no hope lor mankind of any effective participation of the pub lic masses in their own government.— (Applause.) ft will not, fail—lt cannot fail; and tills contest in which we aro ; now engaging will give us, I verily be lieve, a political revolution as great and as momentous in its result as that politi cal revolution that occurred here, in this city of New York, which brought Thom as Jefferson into the Presidential chair, in 1801, and founded the Democratic par ty that prosperously governed the coun try for well-nigh sixty years. (Great ap plause.) It is our mission to restore its principles in the administration of the Government, to restore a liberal policy in the conducting of affairs, and to give to our people everywhere the assurance of complete peace after war is over; ot f reification through every part of our be oved land; of local self government, of individual rights aud individual safety, ol the re-establishment of the great guar antees of personal freedom, constitution al rights everywhere upon this continent. (Prolonged cheering.) Fellow-citizens, I now present to you General Morgan, of Ohio, the Chairman of the Committee ap pointed by the National Convention to tender to Horatio Seymour the nomina tion of President of the United States.— And! present to you at the samo time Horatio Seymour. Mr. Tllden would have added a few words to round up Uis sentence, but the announcement of the name of Seymour and Mb appearance upon the front plat form at the same time, was the signal for the whole body of people in tbe bull and galleries td rjse to their led uiui wave their lints, and their canes, and their parasols, while they cheered and cheered in one wild enthusiastic indescribable uproar, exhibiting a scene only equalled , by that which took place in the same room when the nomination of Governor Seympur became known on Thursday. The sound was exciting, inspiring, al ’ most terrifflor now it rolled forth .like a i peal of thunder over the mountains and 1 valleysof au Alpine solitude; now It par i tlally died awuy Jntoa reverberatlngeeho, . aud aunu it broke forth again aq if a vul . oimo had burst forth, or on earthquake was about to rook the earth to its centre. This extraordinary scene continued for ‘ c'Mii'.d minutes, then some one called for three ohcrrs, and cheer after cheer, and then three more and then another and another and another was given, till the numberreaohed more than a dozen. Alt this time Mr. Seymourstood ids dignified and amble self, yet seemed more than •half abashed and more than half aueoted with emotion at tlio warmth of his recep tion, ami ub if be would have to retire till the people could control them selves. Order was, however, at last, re stored, and .General Morgan ;th n ad dressed GeneralJSeymour in the follow ing words: SPEECH OF GENERAL MORGAN, Governor Seymour —On behalf of the committee appointed for that purpose, I have tlie pleasure, sir, of presenting to you a communication announcing your unanimous nomination as candidate for the cilice of President of tho United States, by.the National Democratic! Con vention ; and on behalf, sir, of the Con servative aud Democratic people of the States we have the honor to represent, we here pledge their united and cordial eiibrts in securing relief to tho country from that thraldorawhioh now possesses it, and in placing you, sir, ns the Chief Magistrate of tho United States, in the Executive chair. j ■ Tremendous cheering followed this ad dress. When this had subsided, Gover nor Seymour replied as follows ; SPEECH OE GOVERNOR SEYMOUR. Mb. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee: I thank-you lor the courteous terms In which you have com municated to mo the action of the Demo cratic National Convention. (Cheers.) I have no words adequate to express my gratitude for the good-willand kindness which that body has shown to mo. Its nomination was unsought, aud unexpect ed. It was my ambition-to take an ac tive part, from which I am now exclud ed, in the great struggle going dii for the restoration of good government, of peace aud prosperity to our country. (Great cheering.) But I have been caught up by the whelming tide that-is bearing us on to a great political change, and I tlnd myself unable to resist its pressure.— (Loud cheers.)' You have also given to me a copy of the resolutions put forth by the Convention, showing its position upon all tlie great questions which nojv agitato the country. As the presiding ollicer of that Convention, I am familiar with their scope and import, and as one of its members I am a party to their terms; they are in accord with my, views, ami I stand upon them in tire contest upon which we are how entering; and I shall strive to carry them out in future wherever I may be placed, in public or private life.. (Cheers.) I congratulate you, and all conservative men, who seek to restore order, peace, prosperity, and good government to our land, upon the evidences every where shown, tlmt-’woare to triumph nt the next election. (Pro longed clic ring. Those whoarepolitical ly opposed to us flattered themselves there would be discord in our councils; they mistook the uncertainties of our views as to tlie best methods of carrying out our purposes for difference of opinion with regard to those purposes. They mistook an intense anxiety to do no act which should not be wise and judicious for a spirit of diseordp but during the length ened proceedings and earnest discussions of the Convention there has prevailed an entire harmony of intercourse, a patient forbearance, and a self-sacrlflcing spirit, which are the sure tokens of a coming victory Accept for yourselves, gentle* men, my wishes for your future welfare and happiness. (Cheers.) In a few days I will answer the communication you have just handed me by letter, as is the customary form. (Tremendous and long continued cheering.) : Mr. Tilden—l have now the honor to present to this meeting, Mtyor-General Francis P. Blair, Jr. . The appearance of General Blair was the signal for renewed enthusiasm, little if at all inferior to that which had greet ed Governor Seymour, and which was continued at such length that the Gene ral became somewhat . fatigued while waiting* for a chance to speak. At length General Morgan took advantage of tem porary quiet to speak.as follows : GENERAL'MORGAN TENDERS THE NOMI- NATION TO GENERAL BLAIR, General Blair —ThocQuimittee appoint ed by the Convention have made it my pleasing duty, sir, to announce to you your unanimous nomination- as tbe Democratic candidate for the Vice-Presi dent of the United States—(applause)— and in tendering to you sir, this nomina tion, I ieel sure that it will not only be hailed with acclamation by your fellow citizens throughtout the United States, but by thousands.of your gallant com rades on many a well-fought field—(ap plause)—and who will once again rally to the stars and the stripes and the de fense of free institutions. (Applause.); MAJOR GENERAL FRANCIS P. BLAIR, JR., ACCEPTS THE NOMINATION FOR VICE PRESIDENT.

(Applause.). We are to make the contest for the restoration of those great principles of government which be long to our race. (Great applause.)— And, my fellow-citizens, it is most prop er that we should select for our lender a man not from military, life, but one who has devoted himself to civil pursuits: who has given himself to the study ana the understanding of the Constit tlou and its maintenance with all the lorue of reason and judgment. (Applause.). My fellow-citizens, [ have said that the con test before us was one for the restoration ofour race. (Applause, long continued.) it is to prevent the people of out race from being -exiled from -their;-homes— (cheers)—exiled from the government which they formed and Created forthem selveaand for their children, and to pre vent them fro to boing/driven* out of the country or. trodden under foot by an in ferior and semi-barbarous, race. (Ap-. plause.) In this contest we shall have the sympathy of every man who ;is worthy to belong to the white race.— (Applause.) .What civilized people on earth would refuse to associate with themselves in all the rights and honors and dignity of their country such men as Lee and Johnson ? Wnat civilized coun try on earth would fail to do honor to those, who, fighting for an erroneous #iuse, yet distinguished themselves by uallantry In that service? (Applauee.y In that contest for which they aresougjit to be disfranchised and to he exiled from their homes—ln that contest they have proved themselves worthy tp be nur peers. (Applause.) My follow citizens It Is not my purpose to make any long addrea— (cries -of “ go on”)—but simply to express my gratitude for tho great and distin guished honor which has been conferred upon me. Blow Work.— This paying the na tional debt seems to be a rather slow bus iness. The total debt on the first day of June, 18G5—which was after the war, it should be remembered—was $2,635,205,- 753. . Sjpce then we have had three years of profound peace; • The last Confederate army surrendered lh Sfay, 18Gq, and we have for three years been engaged pay ing off this vast debt. On the Ist of June, 1808, the debt of the United States was $2,048, 753, *660, as stated, McCulloch. Instead, of having dimin ished,.the debt has been, increased' du ring the post three years, $8,547,813. .This does not look particularly encourag ing, If the last three years have added eight millions to our public debt; how long.-we would inquire,. will'it'take to pay it? • .1 ' , ■ Four thousand millions of debt crush the people to the earth. Grant will have“ no policy* ll aocal^tema. Stay on the cities ass villages arc already overcrowded every kind of business languish® d than tbe cultivation of the earth 1 ” r* 8 the cities the labor market is overstocke,! and one can get any desired number hands for any conceivable job c ? ? from the country have usuallv er “ 8 two or three years before they living wages. The city throngs with employed men.and women. , something to turn up. Those wfcnnl employment have no security for perm nence. Mechanics lose their plJ P ™°.' have to lie Idle for weeks and month! together. All the products of skill . , labor are relatively cheaper than nrovi, ions and breadstuffs. The great materi al want of the nation is cheaper meat!’ grain, and vegetables. We have a „ chants, mechanics, and middlemen enough, but far to few farmers Th best cultivated Stale abounds In unoulti vated lands. Even lb the vicinity our large towns and cities, cheap land, abound and splendid chances for enter prising youpg men to win homes and fortune. Once settled upon his own acres, the.farmer has constant, profitable occupation before him. Nowhere is uu skilled labor so sure of sustenance N 0 where will Intelligent Industry so sun! ly win a happy homo and competence - In the country one never need to lack labor, and labor brings there the neoessa ties and comforts of life. The Heated Term.—Thoso who com plained so loudly about the lateness of the season, and murmured at the f re . quent cold rains, now have a good time growling about the Intense heat of the summer. We have made up our minds that summer is here at last. The state of our feolihgs.will not permit us to doubt or dispute the fact. With the thermome ter high up in the nineties, the persplra tion will flow from the coolest of u«._ Thin people walk with a fan in one hand and a handkerchief in the other, while stout ones have to add an umbrella to keep themselves from running down in to their boots and meeting a watery grave. Everybody asks everybody else: “hid you ever experience such warm weath er?” “ Warm I It Is absolutely /iom never felt anything like It in my lire.” And yet doubtless number one and num ber two have experienced just such weather every summer of their lives,- We shall try to do the best to keep these columns full of some sort of rendiug, but the weather that takes the starch outoi collars, cuffs and humanity in general, is not exactly the weather for pungenl editorials and witty locals. Seasonable Advice.—The follow ing is a simple method of keeping ice water forg long time inacommonpitch er; Place between two sheets of paper (newspaper will answer, thick brown is better) a layer of cotten batting about half an inch in thickness, fasten the ends of paper and batting together, forming a circle, then sew or. paste a crown over one end, making a box the shape of a stovepipe hat, minus the rim. Place this over an ordinary pitch er filled with, ice water, make it deep enough to rest on the table, so ns to ex clude the air, and the reader will be as tonished at the- length of time his Ice will keep and the water remain cold af ter the ice is melted. Our Columns. —As we are entering ■upon an important political campaign ouo upon l which the future destinyoftlie country depends—we cannot devote as much space as we would like to local items. There is nothing like instilling ' into the minds of tbe people sound Demo cratic doctrine. Get their heads level, and they will vote right. We intend to make the Volunteer a terror to Radi cal black and tanists from this until the close of the campaign. Every Democrat in the county, not already taking tffe pa per, should send us his name, as a new subscriber, with the cash in advance.- You will then be kept posted as to what is transpiring. . The campaign will boa warm one. Every Democrat is expect ed to do his whole, duty. Another Victim.—A young man from Cumberland county visited a State street bagnio, and while under benzinic influence lost his “stamps.” Another 11 lustration of the truth of the old maxim, “ A ffcol and his money are soon parted." Wo suppress the name of the Indiscreet youtl», nnt. Hapaiira 1m rnwto a special TC’ quest to that effect, but out of regard for the feelings of bis relatives in this city, who occupy respectable positions in so ciety.—Mari'isburg Patriot , . We should think “ the indiscreet youth” would find sufficient opportunity to get rid of his extra “stamps” iu some of the dens of iniquity around this town, without going to Harrisburg to findac* commodations. Large Rattlesnake Killed.- Through an unavoidable mishap, the memorandum of the following "local" was sufFered tojio unnoticed in the copy drawer for several weeks. Mr, D. A.Henwood, residing near Car* lisle Springs, in jude last, killed, in the road near his residence,'an Immense rat tlesnake, measuring five feet two inches, iu length, and carrying .five rattles. Mr. Heriwood threw a large stone upoiUt, thuaTjfeaking.ite'.hadk;:and rendering it harmless. This is. the largest snake we have heard of being killed in'thls viclol* ty for years. Reduction in Prices.— Greenfield has this day reduced the prices on his entire stock of Dress Goods. Bargains in Lawns, P© Lalnes, Poplins, Alpacas Grenadines, White Goods, &o. Many of the above dress goods wilt be sold without regard to coat, to make room for fall trade. Religious. —The-Rev.
