The importance of the political contest in Which we are about to engage cannot be Over-estimated. Every principle which Is - wotth preserving in our Government, is at stake in the coming elections; the people must be taught to see the importance of the vote which they will be called upon to cast, and every effort must barnacle to thorough ly Inform them as to the natu re of the issues which aro to be decided. This can be dono In no other way so effectually as through the medium of a good newspaper, which will come weekly Into the household, and every .Democrat who has the welfare of his country at heart should use his utmost ex ertions to secure the constant rending of a Democratic newspaper by every voter be tween 1101 V and the election. We will aid them to the extetit of our power by furnishing the Wmixtiy mortxontt, a first-class Journal and one of the largest in the country, for the campaign, at the following very low rates: It will be soon that when ordered In lists of 75 copies, the price Is lint forty cents each.

WALLACE, Chnirmun (rant Meetings Won't Draw The Radicals attempted to get up a Grant meeting In Norristown last week, and had darning bills posted nud the loudest kind of a call In the newspapers for days previous. The appointed eve ning came, but the people came not. Len than half a dozen politicians gathered in the hall, and, after waiting for an hour after the time set, they sneaked off without attempting even to organize a meeting. The sarneevenlng the Democracy fired a salute of 100 guns In the public square, in honor of Sey mous and Blair, and a large and enthu siastic crowd gathered to witness the proceeding. Except In the large cities the Radicals have not been able to get up a meeting, and even then the otters ' dance has been wonderfully slim. Un less the party- rouses Itself the Demo cratic candidates will have nothing to do but quietly to walk over the course. MAT Thaddeus Stevens is honest in his fierce opposition to the Chicago platform, no one who knows him can doubt. He would have been perfectly willing to stand by the Republican party if he did not see that it has lost all po litical sagacity. KENTUCKY, the State of Clay and Crittenden, will open the canvass in August for State officers and members of Comgress. The majority for John W.

They claim that it is a pledge that all Government bonds shall be paid, both principal and inter est, in gold coin. Thaddeus Stevens' bold auk; domed . ' ,declaration, that he will support no candidate who stands on lamb a platform, - fell like a bombshell Into the radical camp here at his home. 'Those who liate . linplloitly followed his lead-for years cursed him openly in the streets of this city. The remarkable speech which wo publish elsewhere was the subject of universal comment. We heard no Republican who did not openly denounce it. They evidently thought the Old Commoner meant just what he' said, and seemed to have no hope that he could ever be induced to net in har mony with the party on this important question. The leaders were all exceed ingly bitter agtiinst the old man. But, with the masses of the party it was entirely different. Working men who had heretofore acted with the Re publican party read the speech with entirely different feelings. They had no bonds, and were directly interested in the question of taxation ; and they instinctively felt Inclined to declare, with Mr. Stevens, that they would not support the candidates of any party which " would go for liaying in coin that which waspayable in money (green backs), thus enhancing the debt one. half." Those words thrilled the minds of the masses who have heretofore sup ported the Radical party unquestion mgly, as If with an eleetricshocit. They 7elt that Old Thad. was right lu declar ,ng that he would vote for Seymour and Blair, rather than for Grant and Colfax on such a platform to they stand upon. It may be that the lenders of the Re publican party in this county will at tempt to prevent Mr. Stevens from receiving the nomination for Congress this fall. They can not support him without abandoning the platform on which Orant and Colfax have volun- tartly taken their stand, and the di• lemma will prove to be a very serious one, which horn of it they will take remains to be seen. In the meantime we commend the speech of Mr.,Stevens to the careful study of the masses of both parties. It spikes one half the guns which Radicals have been bringing to bear upon the Democratic candidates, and simplifies the contest very much, Tlind's Conyerslon Never has there been so terrible a commotion raised In the Republican party of Lancaster county, as that which has been caused by the declaration of Thad. Stevens, In Congress, that If he thought that the Republican platform favored the payment, of the (invent- moot Bonds lu gold, ho would go wl the Democracy and vote for Soy n and Blair, The Exprois says that " Mr. Stevens does not represent the sentiment of his Republican constituents, who will not be Induced by his example to support the Democratic platform and ticket, rather than their own." Wonderful things are apt to happen In this world, but who ever thought that among fu ture events, would be recorded the fact that old Thad. Stevens bad embraced Democracy, and had been read out of that Republican party which had sprung from his own loins? And yet, this event, it seems, has happened. W did not ourselves regard the re marks made by Mr. Stevens as indica ting his determination to abandon the Republican party, since he con strued the Chicago platform to declare In favor of the payment of the bonds in greenbacks, and we presumed that the Republican party would tolerate a difference of opinion among its members upon the question of the true Interpretation of the financial plank in Its platform ; that plank hav ing been carefully prepared sons to hear any constßuction which might be put upon It. It seems, however, that we credited the party with too much toler ante; its organs declare that the Chi cago platform Means payment of the bonds in gold, and as Mr. Stevens don't believe in that doctrine, he has ceased to be a Republican. 11 Is own home or gan, the Express, reads him out of the party In an editorial printed on the very press which the old man gave it a few years ago for services rendered. Does It want another ? The numeroue candidates for Con gress, who for some years past have been sitting around the nest like young robins, with mouths wide open, waiting for Providence to remove Old Thad, and drop the plum down one of their throats, have become excessively lively over the recent developments. They had got to despair of Thad's ever dying, and were very blue nt the thought that he would live to claim again next month the nomination for Congress. It was welcome news to them then, that Mr. Stevens, desirous of noticing his peace with Heaven before he died, had seri ous thoughts of becoming a Democrat, and they were unanimously willing to aid his exit from their party Into the bosom of t h e Democracy, since ho de dined to go into that of I.azarus. One of them gave him a shove In that arti cle In the Eaprcds, another will follow with a it Ick In the Eranthirr to-morroW, and on Saturday In the inguircp an. other grist will be ground. We will recelve Mr. fiteventi. 'P Democratic Lamp is still burning, a so long ax it continues, the vilest sinner may enter the fold. We will give Mr. S. a comfortable sent, but back in the rear, near Chief Justice Chase, another distinguished convert to the true faith. Senator Morton, of Indiana, will be dropping in soon on this financial slues• non, to keep them company. And Ben. Butler line asked to be allowed to enter, but has been notified that be he entirely too filthy and moat be exolud• ed as a Leper. These foolish bondholders aro going to give the "coup de grace" to the Re publican party. It was dead at any rate, but this financial question will make It so weak and Impotent that It will scarcely have vitality enough in the coming fight to stand up to be knocked down ; Mul as it is not a very interesting occupation to be obliged to pommel anything that Is so weak and lifeless, the contest we regret to think will be robbed of all activity and spirit, the result being a foregone conclusion. Rats will desert a sinking ship, and the tide setting In so strongly In favor of Democratic success, and theevidence of the sickness unto death of the Republi can party being so manifest, the stream of deserters (ruin that party will soon become so great as to threaten It with utter annihilation. If the "bloated speculators" whom Mr. Stevens talks about were wise, they would feel perfectly ready to take from the Government for their bonds, the paper money which they paid for them. In-greedily striving to get gold, they may fail to get anything. The, tax• payers will not be burthened to pay In gold their debt to the Loyal Aristoc racy, which was borrowed from them in paper. Mr. Stevens has the sagacity to see that any party which advocates tills. gross injustice will be beaten, and us be prefers to be on the - winning side, he Joins the Democracy.

Southern Delegates at New RIO ail Chicago. rAi One of the most noticeable *amp! ofthe New .14Ork,ConventIon *as thi air of iiAvitir7whieli marked tiro southerp delegatiOks. .A4lnefiliody men was never seen together 4 ThO, vierelribstly Of purel:4l6 Saud blood; ' with here and there seek, aTeuton or a descendant ettheXiuguenots. In digni fied silence they sat in Convention, giv ing to it at times the air of a Sunday congregation in church, more than that of a political gathering in a gaily deco rated Wigwam. They were the repre sentative men of their different States, the leaders - 6f the white race; Men . Who . had won distinction in every depart inent'of life, And who were fully enti tied,,to speak for almost every one of I their race in ten States of the Union. When the memorial of the White men of Tennessee was read, the meaning of these sedate Southern faces was made apparent to the most careless observers. These Men wore there not to concern themselves with any of the minor is sues which engaged tho attention of those who were busy with the mosaic of .platforms. To them the rights pf American citizens abroad was a ques tion of little moment compared with the story of their :own outrages and I wrongs. They came there to re late ; to the people of the North and to the whole civilized world the plain unvarnished tale of negro supremacy at the South, and to ask the aid of their own race in throwing off this oppres sion. It is not strange that they were sedate even to sadness. They had suf fered as no people ever did before. Great as were the sacrifices made by the peo ple of the North during the war they did not begin to equal those of the South. The contest was au unequal one from the beginning in point of numbers, re sources and all that goes to make up the material necessary to the maintenance of such struggle. The mourning which prevailed in our section was universal in the South. Few indeed were the families there which did not lose one or noire members In the bloody strife. The devastation of their territory by our armies, the sweeping away of the accu mulated savings of generations, the en tire destruction of their industrial system which fAlowed 'their defeat left the Southern people almost completely bankrupt. The naked land was about all that remained to them. To have lost so much was enough completely to break the spirit of any people of less heroic temper. All this they would have borne with out =lnuring, had we kept the terms made with Lee when he surrendered, and allowed the different States to re turn to their proper places In the 'Union under the Constitution as humbled and impoverished, but equal members of the Federal Republic. The people of the South have given the most convincing proofs that they were ready to act in perfect good faith after the war was over. Their surrender was complete and un qualified. No guerrilla bands engaged in partisan warfare, and there has not been the slightest opposition to the au thority of the general Government since, with bee anti Johnston they laid down their arms. The people of the South had a right to expect just and even generous treat ment at our hands. Not only did Justice and mercy and the usages of civilized nations demand that we should pursue such a course, but self interest required it. It was plainly our proper policy to do all thut lay in our power to enable the white men of the South tvepair the ritva;.;es of the war. Of emery dollar made by them we should have received our share in the shape of tax and profit, and with the revival of their Industry our own would have flourished with re newed and increasing vigor. When the Radicals, under the lead of Thaddeus Stevens, (who was the first to urge such a course and its ablest and most persist ent advocate), determined to subject the Southern States to the domination of the ignorant and degraded negroes, who had just been released from slavery, they notonly violated the terms on which the Southern soldiers surrendered, but,wlth deliberate and selfish purpose, they wil fully sacrificed the best interests of the North to passion and party necessity. The controlling motive with them was the conviction that with the Southern States again occupying their proper place in the Union, their rule would necessarily come to a speedy end, and all opportunity for plundering the pub• lie treasury be lost. They carried elec tions hi the North by appealing to the passions excited during the war, and blinded the people to the baseness and selfishness, which was at the bottom of all their revolutionary designs. Thus the masses of the North were led to look without proper horror upon the wrongs of which the Southern Delegates to the Democratic National Convention so Justly complained. As we have said these delegates were the representative white men of their section. True, there were not a few prominent rebels among them. But who is there in the North that would not trust Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, In preference to Joe Brown, of (Georgia, who was a prominent delegate to Chicago? They were both active rebels. Brown was an original fire eater, and as (taverner of Georgia, did more to preelpitato the rebellion than any dozen inn like Wade Hemp ton. Yet he was received with cheers in the con von tl on which nominated Grant. Why this favor to him and the persistent abuse of the distinguished Southerners who occupied seats at New York? Does any one need to ask? Is it not all clear at a glance? Brown con sented to go to Chicagoin company with negroes, and to advocate putting ten States under the complete control of black barbarians. Wade Hampton and all the distinguished Southern men in the New York Convention protested against any such stupendous and crtml nal folly. This was their offense—a crime greater in Radical estimation than that of being a leader in secession, or acting barbarously In war. The Southern delegates to the New York Convention all knew that there was a short path to Radical favor. Wade Hampton and all Ills colleagues have long been aware that the Radicals stood ready to receive them into full fellow ship, to pardon all their past offenses and to remove all bars to their holding office, by a special act of Congress, the moment they consented to advocate ne gro supremacy. Because they did not choose thus to degrade themselves and their race, they are denounced andvll - by Radical newspapers through out the North. We honor these men for the stand they have taken, and a vast majority of the people of the North feel just as we do. The self degradation of such original secessionists as Joe Brown and the few others who follow him, is only calculated to excite.the contempt of ev decent white man in the North, The Southern States wererepresented in the New York Convention by high-toned, honorable white men; lu the Chicago Convention they were represented by a mongrel crowd of negroes, carpet-bag adventurers, and a half dozen original secessionists like Joe Brown, of Geer gin. Let the people judge between the two. We do not fear the,vordict. THE Radical journals boast that the entire British press favors the 'Grant ticket. It is only a little'while ago that these same Radical journals were howl ing that the British press " sided with the rebels." It does not occur to theie paper that possibly . the British pre encourages rebellion and Radicalism he eituse both tend to the disruption of the Union.

Their services and wounds qinlht for, nothing, unless they apirgady to unite in approving all the misdeeds of the corrupt and revolution ary cabal who control the Republican party. All the foul terms which can be galleied ha the kennels of radi calism, are unsparingly applied to Conservative soldiers the moment they see IR to separate them - --- - selves from the desperate set of design ing men, who have up to this time kept the Union divided, in order that they might carry out their selfish designs and enable their plundering parasites to fatten upon the public treasure,which is wrung from the toil and sweat of the tax ridden masses. No epithet is too vile, no term of obloquy too bitter, to be applied to the soldier who has the man hood to insist that he fought for the Union, and not for the purpose of sub jecting the white people of the Routh to the justly hateful domination of a horde of barbarian negroes. Many are the Union soldiers who have found themselves thus assailed. What a contrast to this do we witness, when some red-handed rebel is mean enough to turn against his race. The vilest rapscallion in • the South, the most remorseless and blood thirsty wretch among them is hailed as a hero and a patriot the moment ho declares himself to be in favor of maintaining the supremacy of the negro over his own race. That is sufficient to wash out every crime of which they may have been guilty, and all who thus de grade themselves are at once received Into bosom companionship with the lenders of the Republican party. Then they are flattered In unmeasured terms. Their deeds of blood are vaunted as acts of heroism, and their obstinacy in re bellion is characterized as the courage oneness of men of the loftiest character, the whole vocabulary of fulsome praise is exhausted in extolling their virtues, and the Radical newspaper press la fill ed with cringing flatteries of the despi cable creatures. Never was there a more striking con. treat thnn Is exhibited by Radical Jour. nals in their abuse of Conservative Union soldiers, and their unbounded adulation of such selfish and mercenary rebels as have consented, for• the sake of Mlle° and gaiu,to degrade themselves to an equality with the negro. Thu spectacle which is thus presented by leading ltepnblican newspapers isa most disgusting one. It is enough to rouse the indignation of every true soldier in the North. The gorge of all decent white men rises at It involuntarily. It is an exhibition of meanness which has never had a parallel in the world before, a descent into the very lowermost depths of degradation. Such a course must tell with powerful effect upon the gallant and heroic men who made up the rank and file of the Union armies. They are as generous as they were brave, and they can not help but despise the dirty rebel wretches, who for selfish purposes are willing to be ruled by negroes, and to set the ignorant black barbarians up in authority over all the white people In ten States of the Union. For such rebels as Wade Hampton, the high hearted and heroic Union soldier can entertain that respect which brave and honorable men always accord to a vanquished foe. The quarrel of the Union soldier with those whom he met in the shock of battle is ended ; and all that any true soldier would or could ask is that the terms of surrender accorded by Grant and Lin coln be faithfully observed. If the Rad• icais suppose that the Union soldiers will vole for Grant when he willingly becomes the tool of Thad. Stevens, Charles Sumner, Washburne, Forney and the rest of that desperate gang, whose sole object Is to force negro dom ination upon the South, in order that they may continue to plunder a tax ridden people, we can tell them they are much mistaken. Iu the coming contest the Union soldiers will vote as they fought, to restore the Union and to preserve the Constitution—not to ca• tabliBh negro supremacy in the South, I and negro equality in the North. ALL the talk about the formation of a third party, with which the Radical newspapers have been guilingtheir read ers, turns out to he mere bosh. All who are opposed to the usurpations and cor• ruptlons of Congress, aro uniting heart ily in support of Seymour and Blair.— The letter of Senator Doolittle speaks the sentiments of multitudes of Conser vative Republicans In every northern State. The Bureau. 'that n fatuous and costly swindle, the Freedmen's Bureau, Is to be discontin ued after the let of January next. If it can be dispensed with then, why not now? Does any one need to ask? It is still needed for the very purpose which led to its creation. It is to be used to manipulate the negro vote at the com ing Presidential election. After that the Radicals agree to abolish it. Ifßad loam cost the country nothing It would be Insupportable, but it requires millions every day in the year to keep this recklessly extravagant party alive, and these millions are wrung from the sweat and toll of the laboring white man. Bondholders, negroes and the carpet baggers who have overrun the South and seized upon the offices, pay no taxes. UfErt.E\'s Tribune, Forney's Prcim, and other leading Radical journals pub lish the remarkable speech of Old Thad. without a word of comment. His en dorsement of Pendleton's platform and his declaration that he Is ready to sup port Seymour and Blair on It, has struck the Radical journals dumb. No wonder. Never too Late to 3tend. "For while the lamp bolds out to burn, The vilest sinner may return." So says the good old Presbyterian hymn, and the hymn is right In it, there is more truth than poetry, The venerable Thad Stevens, Republican leader of the Rump House, is apersonal illustration of the great spiritual truism which it is supposed to embody. Grown old, as Ire is, in Radicalism, he has had the pluck to give notice that he cannot be expected to support Grant and Col fax on the Chicago platform. No doubt advancing years and increasing infirm ities have admonished the old man that his last acts should be In accordance with the best interests of his country. He has done much evil and ought to make some amends. We are glad to see that he is disposed to do so. RATS desert a sinking ship. So Thad deus Stevens, keeping a look-out to the future, deserts the Radical platform. It was made of rotten timber; and is utterly unseaworthy,...as Old - Thad. knows. THE Chicago Tlmds says Gen. Blair is a teetotaler, and h'as been for years. He doeti'not drink adrOp of intoxicating much for an atrocious Radi pal calumny. And yet Radical tempor al:m*4.o called,'Nvill vote for Grant in praference. WATL,prd .

Independent, a Radleal relighite tewspaper, says "Grant has laWy'beeti een unmistakably drunk in the streets of Washington ;" (the titzti,Stavery Standard, Wendell Philips' paper, the .Revolution and other sheets of a similar character, have made the taupe charge. Ithe N. Y., 2)4144; note very lang 80, declared that Grant had been seen in the -Ezee,utive Mansion "so drank that he could hardly stand on his *legs." Wendell, Phillips ' de= claredin a apeech' that Grant "cannot stand up before a battle without falling .down." For republishing these state ments, made by leading Radicals and repeated by them in so many different shapes,'Democratic newspapers are de nounced in the most abusive terms by `.their opponents. We are charged with violating decency by giving currency to these emphatic charges of the very men who are now supporting Grant, because by his election they hope to secure the Atioption of their favorite design of making the negro the master of the white men in the South, and the equal of white men in the North. But what is the course of the Radical journals which are railing at Demo cratic editors for repeating the charges made by leading Radicals against Grant? How have the Democratic nominees fared In the hands of these advocates of decency? No sooner was Horatio Sey mour nominated than some Radical liar started a report that insanity was hered ltary In his family, and that it was from fear of being overtaken by such a calam ity that he was disinclined to accept the nomination. The falshood has been com pletely ex ploded,and on the bestauthor ity it is declared that there never was even a taint of insanity in the family of the distinguished statesman who Is our candidate. Yet not one of the Radical journals which gave currency to this base lie has had the manliness to retract it. And, as if to offset the wall estab lished drunkeunes of Grant, General Blair has been charged with intemper• lance, The New York Sun, n leading Radical journal, has had the manliness to do justice to the Democratic midi date for the Vice Presidency in this respect. It says he is a strict temperance man, ono who does not drink a drop of intoxicating liquor. How many of_the small fry of Radical papers have had the decency to retract the falsehood which they started? So far as we have seen, not one; and we venture to assert that they will not do The truth is the Radicals feel that they have no chance of success if the people fully understand the great and vital political Issues of the day. This accounts for the lies In which they are so recklessly indulging. The most im probable stories aro being put forth by Radical Journals from day to day, but they aro, after all, only confessions of weakness. The Democratic candidates can laugh at all such weak inventions of the enemy. Tho present campaign will be ono of Intense activity. In every election district the real issues will be ex plained from the stump, and the people are ready and anxious to hear. The hard common sense of the masses will decide the contest. They will not be influ enced by prejudice or passion, but, with the independent spirit of American freemen, they will examine the claims of parties and candidates. liellevin that an Intelligent disposition to vote understandingly prevails among the people to a greater extent than was ever before known in the United States, we believe that Seymour will be tri umphantly elected. • The Workingmen. The following resolution was adopted unanimously by the National Demo cratic Convention, on Thursday, July 9, 1808 : Resolved, That this Convention sympa thizes cordially with the workingmen Li" the United States in their efforts to protect the rights and promote the interests of the laboring classes of the country. The Democratic party is in full sym pathy with the workingmen and they with it. The laboring classes through out the entire country are turning for relief to this great political organization which always stood up so manfully for their rights, by whomsoever they were assailed. The workingmen of the na tion will elect Seymour and Blair In spite of political tricksters and bloated monopolists. DOES the New York platform favor repudiation? Thad. Stevens declares that it Is Just right on the bond ques tion. What have the magnates of the Republican party to say In reply? We anxiously await their answer to the " Old Commoner." /No Irish Need Apply.' .1u ono of the Radical newspapers of Chicago the following advertisement appeared recently: " Wnwrno.—lci a respectable colored family, a white woman to do general house work. Apply at No. 73 Carroll street. No Irish need apply. L. JORDAN." We have no doubt the negro who pen ned and paid for the advertisement is loyal to the coro ; and wo take it for granted that his hatred of Irish is as in tense as was that of the Radical candi• date for Vice President when ho took the infamous oath of the Know-Nothing Order, at South Bend. Indiana. No foreign born citizen who has any respect for his race or a particle of man• hood about him, can vote for Schuyler Colfax. THE doom of the Democratic party aro still open, and there is room for all. Now is the lime for those who desire to see the country restored to its former prosperity and happiness to step into the ranks. Read Thaddeus Stoyens' speech. SINCE Sumner has failed tosecure the election of a negro Senator from South Carolina, the earpot•baggers being' too sharp for Sambo, it is understood that numerous black and white Radicals in his own State desire that he should use all his Influence to secure the return of a negro Senator from Massachusetts. It is said he has received letters from two prominent negroes who are anxious to take his place. If he is sincere in the views expressed in his letters he will of course yield to the desire of the ad- vanced men of his party. We know no one whose place could be so well filled by a negro, unless it might be Thad. Stevens. The telegraph, under date of the 14th announced that Generals Grant and Sherman were at Fort Leavenworth, and also, that a levee was to be held, to which " the citizens generally were in vlted." Grant went from Washington to Kansas without being noticed. It really seemed as if the people shunned him purposely. It remains to be seen whether they will go to see him when specially invited to do so. No Pres idential candidate was ever so treated In this country before. THERE is a dispute whether General Grant drinks. There is a dispute whether he smokes. There le a dispute whether he swears. There Is a dispute as to his principles. There is a dispute as to his name. What is there about him that is hldisputable except his de feat in November? HE Radicals are shouting loudly over the fact that the Democriitic plat form and candidates are assailed by such English newspapers as the London Times. When were these Journals ever pleasea with anything that promised good to the United States? Have they riot always heen against us? The fact that the. Pemocratic party is assailed by the organ of the British aristocrats, only . . snows it Is right; OLD THAD. MgI,THE [BONDS.

Stevens, of PerineYlvania, declared himself in .favor of a funding bill which should reduce interest:' If no perscin chose to fund under it no lama' was rlone ; if any pollen did:Choose to fund at a lower rate of intereatithe then Government would profit by it. .He thought, however, that the lowest. rate of interest 'should be four per cent. Ho did not think they could got money cheaper. He thought it the duty of the Gov ernment, with the accumulating gold, to expend one-half of it in redeeming the five twenties in 'advance of their falling due; after they fall duo no one could object to their redemption. He had understood the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Rosa) to say that the bonds should be paid, according to the New York platform. What was that platform? Mr Ross.—To pay the jive twenties in law ful money. Mr. Stevens.— What do you call lawful money. Mr. Rosa,—Greenbacks. That is your doctrine and mine, you know. [Laughter.] Mr. Stevens.-/ hold to the Chicago plat form, and as I understand it on that point, to the New York platform, that those bonds shall be paid just according to the original contract, A Member.—The law, Mr. Stevens ac cording to the law. Mr. Pike.—The spirit and letter of the contract. Mr. Stevens—What was the law ? That the interest should be paid up to a certain time, at six per cent. ' in coin. After the bonds fell due they would be payable in mo ney, just as the gentlemen front Illinois, (Ross,) understood it; just as he, (Mr. Ste vens,) understood it; just as all understood it when the law was enacted ; just as it was explained on the floor a dozen times, by the Chairman of the committee on Ways and Means. . - IF HE KNEW THAT ANY PARTY IN THE COUNTRY WOULD. GO FOR PAYING IN COIN THAT WHICH WAS PAYABLE IN MONEY, THUS EN HANCING THE DEBT ONE-HALF, IF HE KNEW THERE WAS SUCH A PLATFORM AND SUCH A DETERMI NATION ON THE PART OF HIS OWN PARTY, HE WOULD, WITH FRANK BLAIR AND ALL, VOTE FOR THE OTHER PARTY. HE WOULD VOTE FOR NO SUCH SWINDLE ON THE TAX-PAYERS Ob"THE COUNTRY. HE WOULD VOTE FOR NO SUCH SPECU LATION IN FAVOR OF BONDHOLD• RES AND MILLIONAIRES. BE RE PEATED (THOUGH IT WAS HARD TO SAY IT) THAT EVEN IF FRANK BLAIR STOOD ON THE PLATFORM OF PAYING ACCORDING TO THE CON TRACT, AND IF THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE STOOD ON THE PLAT FORM OF PAYING BLOATED SPECU LATORS TWICE THE AMOUNT AGREED TO BE PAID TO THEM, AND OF TAXING HIS CONSTITUENTS TO DEATH, HE WOULD VOTE FOR FRANK BLAIR EVEN IF A WORSE MAN THAN SEYMOUR WAS ON THE TICKET. [MUCH EXCITEMENT AND SENSATION.] Mr. ltoss—Vie Democratic doors arc still open, and the gentleman Can be taken in. What a Republican Sald. A prominent Republican of thle city said to us to-day, " this campaign is damnably mixed up. Stevens, in his late colloquy with Ross, has clearly lu- timated, if not positively expressed Lis disbelief in the Chicago platform, and his approval of that made at Now York. There is no doubt that upon which Sey mour stands is the more manly of the two. In it there is no attempt made at equivocation but in that upon which Grant stands there is evident desire to have it read to suit both those who ad vocate the payment of the United States bonds in coin, and those who would pay them in greenbacks. I shall look further into this question, and if I be come convinced, as Mr. Stevens seems to be, that the Republicans aro playing " fast and loose," I.shall certainly take that step proper to him who would vote as a man and not as a politician. Ste vens should, to be consistent, vote the Democratic ticket." Evidently the caldron is boiling, men are thinking and a mass of Repub eau voters aro ready to break loose from their old party ties and Join the party of the people. Fon CoNaitss.—Old Thad Is suggest ed as the Democratic nominee for Con gress. As he seems willing to support Seymour and Blair,. and endorses the New York platform, his name can be preseited to the Democratic Conven tion; but as his conversion 1880 recent, he will doubtless be required to prove his faith by his works during a few years of service In the ranks as a pri vate. Thurlow Weed's OpWon 'Pte Radical newspapers generally appear to think their readers have no sense, and that it is only necessary to abuse the Democratic candidates. Thur. low Weed, the shrewdest Republican politician In the country, entertains a very different opinion. He says, In the New York Commercial : "Governor Seymour Is not to be beaten by being called a copperhead, or Frank Blair to be distanced In the race because he is called a revolutionist. Ridicule Seymour as some RepubllcauJournals may, hole the most popular umn in the Democratic party.' The small fry of Radical Editors, whom Greely so aptly styled "narrow minded blockheads," would do well to make a note of Mr. Wood's remark. Grant's Economy. The Radical papers are publishing huge puffs of Gen. Grant's economy, but have not a word to say in regard to his recommendation to increase the pay of tho immense crowd of idle army offi cers one•third. That would raise Grant's salary to ovcr thirty thousand dollars a year. Would that be economy? Wo leave the tax ridden masses to answer. THE Radicals nave started into the present campaign so weak from an utter want of any popular principles upon which to conduct the pending contest that they have been forced to resort to the most reckless system of lying ever known in political annals. Wo see In this the assurance of their complete defeat. Long before the campaign is over every one of the falsehoods which they have promulgated against the Democratic candidates will be nailed to the counter, and the party which thus attempts to find shelter in a refuge of lies will be left exposed In its naked de formity to the jeers and scoffs of all honest men. With a proud conscious ness of the strength of their principles and candidates, the Democratic party goes into the fight determined to win, and with a full assurance that victory will crown their efforts. IN TROUBLE—Republicans, to deter mine whetter greenbacks are money. Formerly no man was loyal who didn't believe they were ; but now the Chica go platform intimates that they are not. Old Thad says they are ; the loyal bond holders say they arn't. The people agree with Old Thad ; and the people do the voting. No sooner were Seymour and Blair nominated than the Radicals In Con gress took stops to prevent the counting of any Southern eldctoral votes which might be cast for them. This shows what they expect. They have no hope that Grant can be honestly elected, and are preparing to perpetrate a frtud of the most outrageous character, if neces sary; but the people will save.thorn all that trouble by giving to the Demo cratic candidates so large a majority that there can be neither temptation nor excuse for such rascality. OLD THAD endorses Pendleton, Bey moor and Blair. What honest Repub limn can hesitate to follow when 12 thus boldly leads the way? A SPECIMEN BRICK,—AII the magis trates elect in Shelby county, Ala., are negroes, and not one of them can read' or write. Magistrates who can neither read nor write are in perfect keeping with those who sustain the Radical mode of Bea construction, right or wrong. . Why tha IMMO *MOO the Radicals. The Rltdhatda"til the North have been POrriughtY dlegtpsCed with theli newly found allies thenegroes, ever stoop he Mt ppi e4eotibri; Some of the More sanatine of 4htiza have tried hard to Persuade theirieedVes that the conduct of the darkies why owing entirely to coercion on the part of the ex-rebels. Others have professed to believe that frauds were committed and the ballot boxes tampered with. All such conjec tures are effectually disposed of by-a letter to the New York Timer', a leading Radical paper. The writer from Oren . ada, Mississippi, under dattiOf July 4th, says: ThlEiresult, produced by the voting of the negroes with the Democrats' and Con servatives, has astonished and greatly ex asperated the Radicals, who were sanguine of controlling their action. They vent their disappointment in fierce charges of fraud and intimidation. That they aro fallacious, in a general sense, a personal examination in several of the counties where it is, alleg ed, enables me to ruisert. In this, Yollo busha County, the negro and Radical vote showed 1,800 majority, while in the election the majority against the Constitution is over 1,100. This is a county that it is claim ed should be thrown out, and Gen. (Mem, the District Commander, has been so urged, but the Commandant at this point, Gen. Ponnypacker, officially refutes the charge, and asserts that every poll was free to all to vote as they desired. The real cause of the action of the negroes can be found to have grown out of the many outrarres inflicted upon thorn by unscrupu lous Freedmen's Bureau agents and mer cenary business adventurers, added to the violent manner in which the various gar risons almost invariably treat them when off duty, and, in fact, while on duty too, as whenever called upon to check any breach of the peace by them, they manifest a desire to exasperate the negroes to that resistance which will cover rough treatment of them. There is much bitterness existing on both sidos,and the negroes at first vgarding them as both deliverers and protectors, now deem them their worst foes. These things have combined to cause this abused race to turn to their former masters for advice and guidance in all things, and produced that mutual confidence which, beyond all else, the most effectively conduces to the future prosperity of the South, that prosperity be ing dependent upon Its agricultural devel opment, and that upon such a creation of confidence on the part of these freed people in their late masters mi will induce a gen eral return to labor. Thus evils are real izing good which will redound to tile mu tual advantage of those most interested— the planters, and those upon whom they are dependent for labor. Calling for Negro Senators. Tho Philadelphia POBe, the most ably edited Republican paper in the State, commends Charles Sumner's letter which calls upon the Negro Legislature of South Carolina to send at least one of their own race to the U. S. Senate. It says: At n time when many !ten calling them solves Republicans hesitate upon the ex pediency of giving the colored man a vote, and quite ignore his eligibility to public office, it is inspiriting to hoar the noble ut terances of Mr. Sumner in his letter to a member of the South Carolina Legislature." That Is a clear and unequivocal en dorsement of Spinner's proposition.— Th . .) Poet Is logical In its arguments. The silliest fools In all this land aro those Republicans who scoff at negro equality and yet continuo to act with a party which Is pledged to that as the grand cardinal principle of Its political life. AN eminent Uerman surgeon claims the discovery of a device for making the leech an indefinite blood-taker.— When the reptile is nearly full a small noision is made in his side, through which the blood flows freely, and the animal keeps on sucking till ho "ex hausts the subject." There is nothing now In this. It is the precise process by which the Radical party has man aged to drain the Treasury and the pockets of tax-payers ever since that party fastened upon the public purse. When the party bad nearly surfeited itself with spoils, fresh openings were made to inspire a more vigorous suck ing. Brigadier-generals were manufac tured by hundreds; cant/Ram were more numerous than the armed men that sprang from the teeth sown by Cadmus ; new departments were created expressly to furnish salaried places for the Loll; bureaus abounded with all sorts of perquisites and pickings ; every means has been devised to draw the re sources of the country. If this nearly gorged leech does not drop off next November, the plundered people will pull it off. Row Grant Is Received We clip the following from the New York Tribune: LEAVENWORTII, July 16.—Gone. Grant and Sherman and party arrived here this evening, and proceeded at once to Fort Leavenworth, where they will remain until Saturday, when they will leave for Denver, via the Kansas Priellie Railway. That Is the way Grant is received everywhere. No crowd assembles to witness his arrival and not a cheer has greeted him on his western tour. All the interest which the masses may have felt in the soldier has been turned Into complete . disgust since ho consented to become the mere tool of a set of selfish and designing demagogues, who only support him because they expect to use him as a means to ennoble them to con• ttnue to plunder the public treasury. The people do not want to look upon Grant as he goes aboutwoaring the fet ters of Forney and Washburne—still less aro they disposed to vote for The City Treasury. Thu City Auditors have complete( the laborious. examination of the accounts of the City Treasurer, and found thorn all correct. This morning the big safe was transferred to the cum tody of Mr. Rialtsecker and the large balance in the treasury has been promptly handed over to him. Wo trust that the Miss Nancy of the Ex. prcaa, and all the other women of the town aro satisfied and are sufficiently delighted that the city monies aro In Republican keeping until the next elec tion. If Mr. Ricksecker succeeds in keeping his accounts as clearly and cor rectly as has Mr. Wentz, ho will have reason to congratulate himself upon his ability as an acqountant. IY GREENBACKS.—The City Tratell ror has handed the balance In the Treas ury to his successor, In greenbacks. Borne of the old women of the Repub lican party had thought of demanding that it should be paid In gold, but the speech of Old Thad. demoralized them, and the Treasurer was graciously al lowed to pay In the currency which he had received. Let as have Peace. Let us have peace, said Grant in his letter of acceptance; and Radical Jour nal echo the cry, let us have peace. Congress has been all powerful since the rebellion ended, and instead of dis banding the army and giving the coun try peace, it has continued to tax the people more than a hundred millions a year to keep up a military despotism In the South, and to prepare the way for Negro supremacy. How can we ever have peace with the white race thus outraged In one-half our country? It is folly to expect it. FprptEy's PITO Ilan Been forced to recant one of its lies already. It does so in the following ungracious style, the assertion about any negroes being in attendance on any Southern delegation, except as servants, being as untrue as the report of their presence in the Con vention, which the Press is forced to take back. But here is what it says: In response to an inquiry as to.whether there was a "negro delegate" in attendance at the New York Convention, we are ena bled to say .neon the best authority that several colo:ed politicians went to that city. in company with delegates, one of whom is still there. None of thorn appeared in con vention as delegates, but one Was said to have been a delegate elect from Tennessee. BEN WADE bore testimony to Grant's illness for President by the following remark : "Whenever I spoke of the great ques tions of the day, he (Grant) Immediately commenced to talk horse.". BUTLER swears that the Chicago plat form means greenbacks; and G reeley swears that it meaps gold: Who shall decide when two such prominent. Rad'. calplars disagree? GOVERNOR NETROIIR AND TUE NEW 17i • YORK RIOTS. Chlo,4lt7ltt Vindication It la unnecessary for us to deferal.Gov ornor Seymour; fronttho bitter attacks of his opponents. That service has been per 'formed by members of the Republican party. We need not trust to hearsay or doubtful expressions. Their vindication of him has become a part of the official re cords of the country, and no one can dis pute or explain it away. Hon,, peon°. opdykc, a prominent Re publican, Was Major ) or the city of New. York during the time of the riots in 18133. Helm also a member - of tho'State Conti; .tutlonal Convention. In the , course of the debate onthe Government Of Cities, a groat dettl'wre; said about the 'ltaly Yoik riots. rn the' course of tho ffiscussioni Mayor' Opdyko spoke as follows. We take the ex tract, from the official ;epode! 149 Debates: Opdyke.—Governor t;3oymour arriv ed on Tuoaday morning, and came to my rooms at tho St. Nicholas lintel, whore ho ' remained With me during the entire riots, except that soon after bib arrival honceom. panted me to tho City Hall, where it was not possible for us to • acoompllsh any good, as the riots were going on in the upper part of the city, and most of nil the murder - sand devastations of property, Woro in that part of the city. But many ev4 disposed per sons bad gathered about the City Hall, and the newspaper offices were threatened. My friend from 'Kluge [Mr. Sehumaker] could not have extended his views verythrfrom the stops of Cityllail or ho would not have staled that the mob were so peacefully disposed. Ho might have seen, by extending his via on, many scenes like this; peacebio color ed men crossing the Park or walking along the streets attacked by crowds of assailants and fleeing for their lives. Mr. Schumaker—l only spoke of the time when Governor Seymour was there. Mr. Opdyke —Perhaps at that very mo• ment there might not have been anything of that kind. But immediately after he was there, those scenes did transpire, and on the same day a newspaper office, fronting the City Hail, was attacked. I now come to the point of toy advising the Governor to address the crowd. I shook my head when my friend from Kings [Mr. Sehumakerl made the remark. And, on reflection, while I have not the slightest doubt that I con curred in recommending it, I am quite Bur° that others suggested that be should address the crowd. My colleague, Mr. Hutchins, who was present, now informs me that my recollection is correct. But the torten in which he should address them, or what words of endearment healmuld use [laugh ter] I certainly had nothing to do in sug gesting: nor had 1 any !rhino in framing the speech ho made to them. Ito left very soon after, in a carriage with some friends, to go where the riots were taking place, and then returned to the Ht. Nicholas Hotel, whore ho remained during the riots. It was not until the military under Gen. Brown, who was second iif commend to lien. Wool, wan united to the police force, that they succeeded in withstanding and repelling the rioters, who outuumbeied ten to one the organized force against them, I also urged the police commissioners to arm their force. They said they would not do so without the sanction of the Governor. 1 offered to bike the responsibility of making the requisition for the arms and furnishing them. But they declined it. When Governor ,S'eymour arrived, he very cheerfully and promptly acquiesced in the suggestion, and gave requisitions for (inns, which were taken to the police hendquar tore; but as the military strength wits in• creasing, it turned out there was no occasion for the police to use them, though they could have been mod very effectively it an earlier stage of the riot. I moan to be en tirely just to Gov. Seymour in regard to his conduct during the continuancoot the riots, though Ito has not been just to me, Prior to the riot he made a serious minroprosenta lion of my ofllelnl conduct lu a message to the Legislature, of which I asked n public retraction. He very frankly and promptly gave a verbal retraction, with II promise of giving ono for publication. After patiently waiting week lifter week, and month after month, during which time that promise was more than once renewed, but never performed, I abandoned the Wort. It his never been performed. But I have this to say of Gov. Seymour; ha ,wee surrounded during tho riot by many bad advisors—scores of them—on seine occa sions I think there were one hundred in my room—most of them urging him to exert his influence to withdraw the military re sistance to the rioters, and to endeavor to quiet thorn by moral suasion. In opposition to thorn, nearly every city official, all of whom, except myself, were democrats, earnestly counseled otherwise, and indignantly condemned the advice that he was receiving from his more numerous friends. And while I thought, sometimes, he was vacillating, and disposed fo interfere in a manner which, in my judgment, wbuld be disastrous to the best interests of the city, it turned out that my apprehensions were un founded. Ho never yielded to those bad counsels, but, TO THE END, STOOD FIRM. EVERYTHING 'THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO DO WAS DONE,TO AID IN THE SUPPRESSION OF T HE RIOTS. At my instance ho gave requisitions for arms to scores, and even hundreds of private citizens, whose ware houses or dwellings were threatened. lie did not hesitate in a single instance, when ever I vouched for the respectability of the applicants for arms. On one occasion, I think it was Wednesday afternoon, a con ference was to be hold among the officials at the police head quarters to determine on the line of action And defense during the afternoon and evening. My friend Mr. Hutchins, was there at the time, and will confirm the truth of what I say. Governor Seymour came in with at least twenty of his political and personal friends, and among them several gentlemen who were very much excited, because, as they declared, the troops under the command of General Brown, In the Twentieth Ward, were shooting down innocent and peaceable citizens, who had congregated from more curiosity, under the excitement that was existing, and that they were not rioters et all. General Brown asked if they had not been firing buildings and barricading the streets. They answered in the nffirmative, but said It was lu self defence. The Gen eral replied if this was not rioting lie did not know what was. These gentlemen urged that Governor Seymour should recall the troops, and they pledged them selves that they would disperse the crowd by peaceable means end moral suasion.— The friends of Governor Seymour were ur gent Lind he should exorcise his military authority as (Foyernor of the State and commander-in-chief, to make (Jon. Brown withdraw his troops. 'The Governor very properly felt, I have no doubt, that lie had no authority to interfere, at all events he did not Interfere. 'rho police commissioners also Joined in urging Gen. Brown to withdraw his troops. I was the only ono to counsel Oen. Brown to turn n deaf oar to tiny such advice, be cause all history proves that the only way to put down a riot es formidable in its pro portions us this, was to shoot It down. He replied with several expletives which I will not repeat, that I need not give myself any uneasiness, that whatever the Governor, or any friend of his, or any one else might say, no troops under lila command should ever retire before a mob unlesadrlyen back. That spirit and determination of General Brown had much to do in inspiriting nll in authority to old in resisting the force of the rioters and in putting them down. Though, on many occanionfr i llovernor Seymour was , advised to interfere, ho never did interfere, AND HIS CONDUCT DURING THOSI RIOTS MET MY ENTIRE APPROVA I --- u The New York Evening Pod, a lead ing Republican Journal, thus denounces the present Inequitable tariff which a stupid Radical Congress forced upon the country : • "The precut tariff obliges tho American people to pay in all cases double, and, In some cases, nearly tripplo, the cost of the cull—for what? 1, or revenue? Not at all, but by way of " protecting," that is to say, favoring' the American malt monopolists, and enabling them to make the people pay double and tripplo the proper and natural price for their salt." Olvino It Up The N. Y. Sun, a Republican paper, says The causo or the Republicans In thlsStele some to-day simply hopeless, and our con clusion, looking calmly and Impartially at tho whole question, is that the Democracy must carry New York In spite of every thing. That Is a candid admission, and the same may be said of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and enough of Northern States to ensure Seymour a majority of electoral votes. THERE are various reports DB to why Grant was sent out of Washington, and forced by his radical keepers to retire to the privacy of his farm near St. Louis. One rumor is that ho has so given him; self up to his unfortunate habit since his nominatiou,•that his removal from the public notice was absolutely neces sary to prevent the most damaging ex posures. This is vouched for by well- Informed residents of Washington. If true it is a very sad thing indeed. Tun Radical journals of this State are not only denouncing Governor Seymour as disloyal, but some of them are abus ing tho soldiers sent by him to the de fense, of Pennsylvania in its hour of greatest peril. Sonic of the editors who are engaged,in this disreputable busi ness were fleeing in•wiid. terror when these troops marched to the defense of their abandoned homes.
