Conrad, 'a Ma chinist in the same shop, and very dangerously, and it is feared, mortally, wounded. This sad affair 'originated in a political diktpute of some days' duration, in regard to :Which* there are-a variety of conflicting-stories, colored;of course, by .the.political bi as of those who 'tell them. Fin ofil ,cial investigation ,tieing pending, we forebear discussion, and will confine oarselves- to a simple, statement of the fa!Cts, so far as we could ascertain thein. it seems that Cenrad, who served. - two_ years in the 'lst Penn. A rtillery and' ivas'honorably discharged, is dDemocrat;e:tid inihe habit of ex pressing his 'opihions , freely. This gave offence to some bf'his fellow- . workmen of opposite 'politics, who ret r aliated 'b y 'calling bite offensive names,-suelas "copperhead," "trai tor,".,&c. He was subject to this sort of annoyance and indignity for severhl days wok.. On Thtirsday -afternoon, in conversation about the exorbitant price of a piece of mus lin be had bought, Conrad declaimed against the. Administration with some severity, Sayino- that it was "rotten and corrupt." .saying is 'ac cused of saying that he "would rather, fight for leff. Davis than for Lincoln." This, however, .he positively denies, and on Thursday be brought suit for slander against one of the men, Jo- I seph Fehr, who charged him with basing epOken these words. Be this as it may, a very bitter feeling was a roused against him ; he was hooted and driveu out:of the shop, and warn- ' en to leavelunder threats otp'ereonal •4n - dignity and violence. . Yesterday mOrning,Conrad, having received no notice of . his discharge, went to work as usual, and was itn ,fr.ediately accosted by Gabriel—some say kindly, bht others in a rough threatening, Man ner- 7 -and urged ,2 to leave if he Wished to escape harm.' it crowd of excited"workmen then gath ered'around him; and with a repeti tion of the offensive epithets of "cop perhead," "traitor," - -dtc., attempted . to drive him out of the shop.

"bang him P' was severely beaten, and would prob ably have beep killed, had not a po lice force, under-Chief. , Miller, arrived and.taken him -intocustody. During the affray in the shop, Mr. J. F.

Several - of the Democratic workmen were driven °land the strops yesterday morning with menaces of violence, and warned not -to Show themselves there again. Ttris deplorable affray is another of the evil but inevitable 'Traits of the spirit of partisan malignity which has been suffered to-find vent in mob vi olence, chiefly against Democrats, for the last two or three - years, withobt restraint.

From the New York llereld, Tune 10 LINCOLN UP . cßfil, RE-ELECTION; Mr. Lincoln is new fairly, presen ted, to the country for its decision. Ile stands as the nominee of the Balti more Convention, on the platform of that, Convention, and commended to the people by the windy harangues of the Convention's very empty ora tors. But neither the ten times falsi fied platform of the Convention nor the speeches, of its members are what the people have to reflect, upon in re gard. to this nomination. What they have to notice are the three terrible years that the country has already gone throucrh under the Presidency of gr. "Lincoln--three years of war, ,in which the country- has endured ev ery misery 'that the President's in capacity, in 'n'inditary, naval and'fi nanciarpciint Of vie*, could plunge it into. This is what the people'have to - corrsider; and what they have to dectileis simply whether or not they wish to 'repeat those years. Mr. Lincoln is responsitle for every blunder . oqt:emitted in every depart ment of the go , kernment since the commencethent of the' war. ne as sumed the absolute control of'our ar mies, with a flourish of defiance to the enemy and a Chinese announcement that our armies should move on a cer tain day. Under his direct guidance we experienced a series of reverses without parallel. Our grandly or ganized Peninsular campaign ,was made to end disastrously 'by his in yiferendo, . 1 : and ' , Jackson's victories Were dike nbt, to'neltsbni-gerhis . . to Liao . °ln's in telleotial opacity. He organized the Pefe . .Ciampaign which vras merely a daily gdecessicin of fright ful reverses to our''arrns. Ile con ducted from Washington Burnside's dreadful Fredericksburg slaughter, and he is eqnally'responsible for the butchery at Chancellorsville. Our great victories at Gettysburg and Antietam and Grant's victories in the West were won in spite of his policy. By keeping such a man .as Welles at the bead olthe Navy DePartment he has become responsible_ for the blun ders that have well nigli'made our heroic navy contemptible, and has a fellowship in the incapacity that has driven our commerce from the seas. Every lutelli„vent person in the coun try can see that if Mr. Lincoln had been a man'of any. ability , be could have ended the war by the..cortyplete destruction of thurebel arnuies:ei'gh• teen months ago. 'But., in his inca pacity, he has noVonly failettovut the rebellion• down, but.. be has fostered it and minletered'to its . growth, and to the developm'ent of its whole poSsible power That - Mr2Lincoln would not, and could netcend the war .betoame clear to the Country several 'MOntbesince, and then the pressure•brpublic opin. ion compelledadrn tdliut our armies and the whole*4-dact of the war in the hands ofAsheral .

'Why repeal the s3oo`ClauserandleaVe the substitito door-opened ? -Lincoln and Stanton both know :the $3OO commuta tion.

No, no Messrs. Lincoln and Stanton, if it is men you want—able-bodied men— then say so, honestly, and call for and take rich and Door alike. Away with your unjust - discrimination. Strike out the substitute provision, as well as the $3OO, and put all on the same platform, or strike out neither. We trust that Congress will con sent to no such proposition ; and that they will cause the $3OO and substi tute provisions, to stand or fall o- _to ether. The life of a rich man is no more valuable to himself and family, than -is the life of the poor man to himself and his family ; and this Lin coln Stanton effort to discriminate against the poor, cannot be too se verely repudiated.
