Negro Equality
The Radicals say that Negro Suffrage
is only intended for the South, as pun
ishment for and security against Rebel
lion. Then, why did they impose it
upon every new Northern State that
has been admitted into the Union since
their advent to power? Why have they
established perfect Negro Equality in
the District of Columbia? And why
has their party attempted to introduce
universal Negro Suffrage into almost
N. every Northern State?

and another for the South, will not an

Captain Gotsehalic has found out how
much love the leaders of his party have
for crippled soldiers. Major Reinoehl
must feel very sore, and we would not
willingly aggravate his affliction. We
did hope he would be renominated, and
for so wishing we had good reason. He
was a source of infinite amusement to
tke Democrats of the House last winter.
They enjoyed his strutting gait and his
silly speeches, as men enjoy witnessing
the antics of any one who makes him
self ridiculous by a display of vanity,
conceit and self-importance, Eveiey
now and then some Democrat would
prick the cuticle of the little wind bag
and he would comedown suddenly from
his rhetorical flights amid the roars of
the House, only to attempt another as
cent when he bad generated more gas.
The dullest debates were sometimes en
livened in this way, and weltre sure the
Democratic members who are to be re
urned, will feel very sorry to learn that
the dapper little fellow has been cruelly
crushed out of political existence by the
leaders of his own party. We under
stand he intends to stick to it that
negroes are better fitted to vote than
white men who were born in Ireland or
Germany, and we have been credibly
informed that he contemplates issuing
an illuminated edition of the speeches
he made in the Legislature last winter,
to be used as a campaign document.
DURING the second session of the
Fortieth Congress there were 2,788 pen
knives distributed among the members
of the House, at a cost of $6,020, or at a
cost of over $2 each. There were 194
members of that body, thus making 14
knives and a fraction to each member,
or about $BO for each member in pen
knives during one session of Congress.
Horatio Seymour.

vention prefianted the name.orHoratio
Seymour to the eountrAt as is..candidate
for President lifthelinlial.s.lBtetes,
it
was received With soase . : dienObint- 1 2
ment. Mr. Seymour had`so sizOrely‘
and persistently decline 4 the nfimina7 .
Lion, that •ilminit everyDethoprat had
selected some other candidate, and be
come attached to his favorite. The
same circumstance, also, prevented
any general investigation of Mr. Sey
mour's record, merits and qualifications.
He, therefore, had no active supporters,
and was comparatiirely unknown to the
PeoP e• • - - , -
A few days >of Inquiry, however,
satisfied the Democracy, that. their
Convention had nominated the ablest
living statesman of the country. Al•
though the mental productions of Pen
dleton and Hendricks are strong,.and
numerous, they yield both in power and
number to those of Horatio Seymour.
His messages and proclamations as
Governor of New York, which office
he twice filled with distinguished credit,
and his numberless letters and printed
speeches, exhibit an originality, vigor
and breadth of thought 'unsurpassed
by William H. Seward in his palmlest
days. But unlike Seward, Seymour is
a polished and brilliant orator, who
leads captive the taste as well as the
reason of his hearers, and inspires them
with his own sentiments to the degree
of enthusiasm. On account of his elo
quence, prominence and ability, Mr.
Seymour was successively selected to
preside over the last two Democratic
National Conventions. And in his
own great State, • he is tendered the
Presidency of eyery Democratic assem
blage, as of right the place of the fore
most Democrat in the country.
Mr. Seymour was last elected Gover
nor of New York in the fall of 1862, and
his official term extended over the fol
lowing two years, the darkest of our
civil war. In the trying and conspicu
ous position of Chief Magistrate of the
greatest state of the Union, during the
crisis of the Nation's struggle for life,
he displayed the brightest traits of pa
triotism, firmness, moderation and dig
nity. In administration and council
he supported the Government, to the
extent of the resources of his mighty
Commonwealth, and of his own com
manding intellect. When Pennsyl
vania was invaded, although the flower
of the youth of New York were already
in the service, he poured his militia
into our State for its protection. For
his promptness and efficiency-at this
juncture, he r‘ceived the earnest thanks
of Messrs. Lincoln, Stanton and Curtin.
The unequal conscription of the Gov
ernment, and the absence of his militia,
occasioned terrible riots in the City of
New York. Gov. Seymour rushed to
the scene, at once pledged his faith to
protect the rights of Ills people, and ex
erted his authority to quell the commo
tion. He succeeded, both in restoring
tranquillity to the City, and protecting
its population from the oppressive draft,
which was afterwards conceded to be
unjust, and was then, and has since
been, ascribed to the political complex
ion of the place.
During a long and eventful life, Mr.
Seymour has established and preserved
a spotless private character for integrity,
sobriety and virtue. The breath of
suspicion has never even tarnished his
honor. His marked private virtues
have given color to his official acts, as
witness his constant and chivalric de
fence of the public faith of the State of
New York, The bharge of itepudia.
tion cannot rest upon a party that selects

Seymour Is a professed Christian, in

kind and courteous to all. He richly

of a pattern Christian gentleman.

the brighter• they will shine. The De
tnocracy are warming up to Seymour
with the fire that gathered them around
the gallant Douglas. They begin to feel
for him the kind of enthusiasm kie•
died In his adherents by Henry Clay.
But Seymour will neither Huller the
fate of Clay nor Douglas. He has for
him what was against Clay, and wee
not with Douglas, a united end enthu
elastic Democracy. He has for him the
wants of the People; who need the
services of the first Statesman of the
Country, to heal the bleeding wounds
left by our civil war, to restore the shat
tered Constitution and the civil Ilber•
ties of the people, to adjust again the
deranged balances of the Government,
to build up a new and healthy financial
system, and bring back our currency to
its ancient standard ; and who need the
bust assistance of an honest Christian
gentleman, to rescue the Government
froin the abyss of Radical Profligacy,
Corruption and Extravagance. The
PEOPLE need, demand, and will secure
the Election of HORATIO SEYMOUR!

agent whites, and the infernal Tee
Oath which requires voters to swear to
accept the equality of races under pain
of disfranchisement, there are several
circumstances that stamp the Recon-
Strucifini of Alabama with peculiar in-
famY..
The Negro Constitution of Alabama
was submitted to the people under an
Act of Congress, which expressly pro
vided that the Constitution should not
be adOpted, unless it received the ap
proval of a majority of the registered
voters of the State. This Act of Congress
invited the people, as the simplest,
easiest and most effective way to defeat
the Constitution, to abet ain from voting
upon it. The majority of the people
accepted the opportunity given by Con
gress, and abstained from voting upon
the Constitution, thereby defeating it
according to the very terms of the Act
of Submission. But no sooner was the
result known, than Congress, eating its
own words and breaking faith with the
confiding people, declared the Constitu
tion adopted, because it received the
votes of those who participated in the
Election, although they did not com
prise a majority of the registered voters
of the State.
At the same election, members of the
Legislature were voted for under the
new Constitution, with the full under-
standing, justified by the Reconstruc
tion Acts, that the election of represan
Latices under the Constitution, wen
for nothing if the Constitution itself
was defeated. The same minority that
supported the Constitution voted for
Members of the Legislature under it.
The same majority which defeated the
Constitution by abstaining from voting
upon it, refused to vote for members of
the Legislature under it. They were
assured that the Constitution would fail
if a majority of the registered voters did
not take part In the election, and they
knew that if the Constitution failed,
there could be no Legislature under it.
But when Congress declared the reject
ed constitution adopted, it also gave
the Minority Legislature control of the
State!
This vile caricature of a Legislature,
chosen by a minority of voters under a
defeated Constitution, has usurped the
choice of Presidential Electors for the
State, and deprived the people of a
share in the election. Without au
thority, except from the arbitrary and
fraudulent power of Congress, this il
legitimate and Revolutionary Mob (for
It is nothing else) not only disfranchises
the people of the State, but deliberately
polls their Electoral votes against the
candidates of their choice. This exe
crable tyranny not only grinds the face
of Alabama, but wounds the dearest
rights of the North. The Nine Electo
ral votes of Alabama neutralize more
than oue third of the Electoral votes of
Pennsylvania. The ballot of every
Pennsylvanian is, therefore, shorn of
oue•thlyd of its Influence by a gang of
brutal negroes and Northern fugitives
from Justice, manufactured by Stevens,
Sumner & Co., into a Legislature for
Alabama.
Thu wrongs Inflicted upon the pros
trate South am enough to make the
blood boll with liidignatlou. But lot us
not lavish all our pity on the South, lest
we need a portion of It for ourselves.
The fetters forged ostensibly for South
ern limbs, are used to bind the thews
and sinews of the North. Radical vul
tures do not covet the plunder of the
beggared South, but feast their longing
eyes upon the well•filled coffers of the
prosperous North. Reconstruction Acts
and Negro Legislatures were not alone
contrived to vex and oppress the people
of the South, (although this gratifies
their authors keenly), but were mainly
intended for the nobler purpose of open
ing the way to the Federal Treasury,
and securing permanent possession of
its golden charms.

121,041 votes or Abraham Lincoln, and 35,-

The soldiers know very well how the

Not only were Democrats intimidated
and prevented from voting, but the re

trol of ten States to barbarian negroes ;

THE immediate and direct Corruption
and Extravagance of Members of Con
gress, in matters personal to themselves,
lie at the root of the general Corrup

the Government. Men who vote them

less than six months' services, are not
in condition to resist the pressure of
others for exorbitant salaries. They
are interested to advance the compen
sation of all other officials in the same
degree, so that their own pay may not
appear out of proportion to that of other
public servants. Men who appropriate
a dozen pen knives apiece to their own
use, and supply themselves with per
fumery and kid gloves at the expense
of the Government, dare not complain
of the frauds and peculations of others,

of the old Know-Nothing party, can be
readily seen.

English, will explain the whole mat

VETO MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR ENGLISH;
To the House of Representatives:
I herewith return to the House of Repre
sentatives, where it originated, the bill for
"An Act in addition to an Act relating to
Courts," which was presented to me on the
24th inst., and I submit for their considera
tion my reasons for not approving it.
The bill forbids any alien to declare his
intention to become a citizen of the United
States, or to be admitted such citizen, be
fore any court in this State, except the Su•
perwr Court of that county in which such
alien shall hove resided four months then
next preceding; and it requires the Supe
rior Court, whenever admitting any Alien
to citizenship, to keep a record of the name
and residence of all persons testifying in
hie behalf, and of the substance of the facts
sworn to by such persons.
It is not necessary for me at this day to
justify the policy of naturalization. The
spirit of the present age approves it. Our
own Government could not exist without
it. lam at a loss, therefore, to conceive
why any of the counsel' Connecticutshould
be shut against an alien desiring to become
a citizen of the United States.
It cannot be that these tribunals, to which
are committed an extensive jurisdiction
over the property and liberty and lives of
our citizens, cannot be trusted with the in
vestigation necessary to the naturalization
of an alien. A conclusion HO prejudicial to
the judiciary of the Slate, will not for a
moment be allowed.
But the only alternative conclusion is,
that it is for some reason expedient at this
time to prevent or impede the admission of
aliens to the right of citizenshipin the State
of Connecticut. I know no reason which
should save such a policy from the strong
est reprehension.
Thirteen years ago, in a period of intoler
ant excitement, the Courts of our State
were absolutely forbidden to administer the
oath of allegiance to any alien desiring to
becotno a citizen of the United States. But
when the war came upon us, and it was
necessary to fill the drafts of the United
States with titan who were willing to im
peril their liven for the preservation of the
Government, the Injustice an I tfiturabsurd.
ity of such a polley became iipparont ; and
the alien who would enlist in our armies
and give us inn services for a year, was
gladly received as a citizen, without any
lurther residence, and without oven the
requisite of a declaration of his intention to
beacons a citizen, It seem to the hardly
becoming to revive so soon the legislation
which you were so ready In that period of
danger to discard,
The provisions of this bill, with regard to
the Superior Court, are much HS to make it
liable to the imputation that its object is to
embarrass the alien in his effort to become
a citizen. lum rumble to perceive any rea
son why he should be confined in his appli•
cation to the Superior Court, sitting in the
county where he resides, while the fact that
in some of the counties that court is not In
session at the limo when such applications
are usually made,
preceding an election, is
a cogent reason why the intended applicant
should not be subjected to such a restric
tion.
It is an extraordinary provision of this
bill Li at in all cases under it, before the
Superior Court, the e:erk shall record the
names and residence of the witnessom and
I
the substance of their testimony. nno
other branch of the jurisdiction of the
Superior Court, involving whatever
amount of property, is there any such re•
quiroment as this. That the neuossity fur
such a record will greatly delay and em•
barrinin tile proceeding, is maulfeal. There
should be no ground fur the suspicion that
such an effect Is ouu of the objects of this
exceptional provision,
Fur these reasons I trust the bill in flues
lion may not become ti law.
JAMES E. ENGLISH.
New HAVEN, July 28, 1808.
Not only did the Connecticut Radi
cals, who had control of the Legislature
of the State, undertake to prevent the
naturalization of foreigners, but they
also passed a registration law so harsh
In its features as to be completely In vi
olation of the State Constitution. This
infamous act was as promptly vetoed
by Governor English, as was the law
discriminating against foreigners.
Hate or Love ?
Which Bliall be the ruling prinelpa
of our Government?
Hate has blighted the prosperity of
one-third, and crippled the industry of
the remaining two-th irds of our country.
Hate has reversed the true rule of Gov
ernment in the South, subjecting intel
ligence to ignorance, and mind to force.
Hate is sowing the seeds of everlasting
discord between the two sections of the
Union. Hate has squandered One
Thousand Millions of money upon its
appliances In three years of peace. Hate
is digging tho grave In which untold
Millions more will be burled.
Love will restore harmony and pros
verity to every part of the country.
Love will renew the ties of patriotism
and affeelluti which bound together the
union of our fathers. Love will hue
(mid the resources of our Clovernment
for the payment of Its Just obligations.
Love will curtail the expenses of Gov
eminent, and bring relief from dubt and
taxation,
Whtoll do you oilooflo, votor, Hate or
Love?
RADICAL indignation against rebels
is all lost. Congress has relieved from
political disabilities more than Fifteen
Hundred ex-rebels, some of them of the
most malignant stripe. These have all
professed Radicalism, and had their

—I tell you it is because, in this ago of the
American republic, we are subject to the
most enormous and burdensome and op
pressive system of taxation—oppressive in
its amounts, and oppressive in the mode by
which it is levied. Why gentlemen, the
British empire, which proudly boasts that
her military posts encircle the wholeglobe,

80,000,000 a month, while we, oven during

the mightiest of the military monarchies of

an avenge of moven years past $7,000,000 a

Rill Voting for Stems.
Every body has laughed at the story,
that In Berke county certain Democrats
continue to vote for General Jackson at
every recurring Presidential election,—
Of course It is a gross slander on the in
telligent Democracy of that grand old
county ; but It Is rather a good sort of
political Joke.
The Radicals of Lancaster county, do
propose, however, in all seriousness, to
nominate Thaddeus Stevens' corpse for
Congress on Saturday next. An order
to that effect has been issued over the
signature of the Chairman of their
County Committee, from which we
make the following extract:
" The undersigned, therefore, after con
sultation with members of the County Com
mittee and other friends, would suggest
that, as a lilting tribute of respect to the
memory of our most able and distinguish
ed Champion of Freedom and Justice, the
unanimous vote of the party be cast for the
name of Thaddeus btevens at the ensuing
primary meetings."
We are not prepared to assert that it
is the purpose of the Radicals of this
district to elect the corpse. We believe
they only propose to nominate it. After
having done that they will probably
bury it with all due solemnity, and then
the row among the small fry politicians,
who aspire to take the place of the dead
man, which has already begun, will go
on with great energy. The fight will
be exciting and bitter In the extreme.
The readers of the lnlelligenccr will be
kept fully posted In regard to all Its de

Bill to deprive the people of the choice
of Proeidential Eleetore, tho Negro
Loglelaturo of Alabama, without not

again on the day before the Preeidou•
tial Election.
This course Is susceptible of but ono
explanation, The indignation aroused
throughout the country by the proposed
usurpation of the Legislature, made it
inexpedient to pass the measure at
present, But it Isnot yet defeated, and
will again come up for consideration nt

should then appear that the Electoral
votes of Alabama will probably not
decide the contest, the veto will be sus•
tamed, the popular election will be
permitted to go on, and the Legislature
will escape the odluin of a useless usur•
potion. But if, on the contrary, it
should appear that the Electoral votes
of Alabama might decide the contest,
the Legislature will at all hazards cast
them for Grant and Colfax, and it will
then be too late for Democratic news.
papers and orators to raise any clamor
on the subject.
The No Policy Candidate
The announcement of Gen. Grant
that he will have no policy, is equiva
lent to a declaration that he will accept
whatever policy Sumner, Chandler,
Butler, Schenk & Co. choose to adopt.
It is a renunciation, in advance of the
Constitutional duty of the President to
"recommend to the'consideration of
Ccmgreee each measures ache shall judge
necesejzry and expedient." It proffers
acquiescence in the humiliation of the
Executive Office, afid.the transfer of its
Constitutional functions to Congress. It
betrays an ignoble personal ambition to
become President of the United States,
for the mere sake of enjoying the honor
and perquisites of the office. Let those
who wish to entrust the real power of
the three Branches of Government for
four, years more to the Revolutionary
Cabal which now controls both Houses
of Congress, under express assurance
that this Cabal will encounter no re
straint, vote for Pfraear ULyssEs

own language, but;in ordei to show to
the most bigotted Radical that we are
fully sustained in our assertions, we
prefer to reproduce an article from the

darsed the New• York _Herald as onelot
the ablest and most Impartial journals
in ttie country. Affer that it will not
darelo.question the statements made
in the following article. The Herald,
while still hankering after Grant, ad
mits that Ile has no chance of being
elected, and charges that his defeat will
be owing to the unparallelled extrava
gance and corruption of the leaders of
the Republican Patty. It claims that
we are more oppreesedly taxed than any
nation in the world, and proves its as
sertion as follows :
If the temper of a people is to be Judged
by their patient endurance of enormous tax
ation the people of the United States are the
beat tempered in the world, for they cer
tainly are taxed more heavily than any
other people and make less noise about it.
We have estimated that taxation by the
federal government alone, independent of
State, county and municipal taxes, amounts
to fully fourteen dollars a head—man,
woman and child—for the whole population.
Take the case of a laboring man with a
family of five or six children, and it will be
seen that be pays about a hundred dollars
a year, which, on an average, would be
about a seventh or eighth of his earnings.
Yet, the whole working population pay in
one way or another this enormous and
proportionate amount of their hard earned
money. Nearly one day's labor out of the
week the year round goes to the support of
the federal Government. The local taxes
imposed by the States, counties and muni
cipalities amount probably to neatly as
much, for in the end, directly or indirectly,
all taxation comes out of labor. Why, in
the city of New York we are taxed over
twenty-three.milllons a year—as much as
was raised and expended by the United
States government thirty years ago. But
it is the federal government we speak of
particularly now.
The income of the general government last
year, reckoning from June 30, 1667, to June
30, 1868, was over four hundred and sixty
millions. This, too, in time of peace and
three years after the war was closed. If we
take the British government, the most expen
sive of any in the world, and which has a
much larger debt than any other, by way of
comparison, we shall see that our national
revenue and taxes exceed those of treat Bri•
Lain. The total revenue of England from
all sources rarely reaches eighty millions
sterling, or four hundred millions of dol
lars. This is sixty millions less than ours,
notwithstanding the debt is about doable
the amount of the interest-bearing debt of
the United Slates, and the English have be
sides to support a costly royal establish
ment, and expensive army and navy and
the vast machinery of government over
colonies and territories covering a fifth of
the habitable globe. We might make a
comparison with the other great nations
and empires of the world and show a still
greater difference in the cost of government
between them and this country; but Eng
land is the most costly and more to the
point. Yes, our republican government tax•
es the people sixty millions a year more in
time of peace than the monarchical and ex
pensive government of Great Britian does the
British.
Congress made a pretence of taking off
some of these taxes during the last session.
It was estimated they would be reduced a
hundred millions or so; but in fact the re
duction was made to favor a few nianufac•
Curers and to increase still more their profits
and wealth. The people will scarcely ,feel
the change, if at all. Their burdens will re •
main as heavy as evertor nearly so. Shifting
the weight of taxation from a few rather in
creases it upon the many. The trouble lies
in the enormous expenditures of the govern
ment and in the extravagant appropriations
of Congress. These aro fast eating up the
surplus money Mr. McCulloch had in the
Treasury, and at the end of the fiscal your
we may look for u deficiency. Nothing can
ho done to relieve tho country of the over
whohning taxation that hears upon it till
we return to something like the economy
of former years. There is no hope of this
till a sulAer, a more honest and economical
Congress shall be elected, and the adminta•
tration of the national finances be placed in
abler hands, To this the ,people should
turn their attention and see that in the
coming elections these old, corrupt and in
capable Congressmen be left at home and a
batter and more competent eat of men be
returned in their plane.

The Exprese declines to attempt to
prove its assertion that a negro occu
pied a seat in the Democratic National
Convention. It contents itself with
quoting a paragraph from the Cincin
nail Commercial, in which It is stated
that ono of the delegates from Tonnes•
see was a negro, named Joseph E. Wil-
Hams. An examination of the list of
delegates from that State shows that
there was no such person among them.
The whole thing is a lie, manufactured
out of the whole cloth, to cover up the
damning fact that there was a large'
delegation of unadulterated negroes in
the maven tion which nominated Grant.
The ExpreBB does not deny that, for
the simple reason that it cannot. After
the Convention was over, a grand ban
quet was given to the delegates, by the
Union League of Chicago, at which
negroes and whites sat down together,
eating out of the same dishes, drinking
out of the same bottles, and fraternizing
In the most loving style imaginable.
These are teas, and the Exprese cannot
and dare not deny them.
We offered to pay it $5OO if it proved
that there was not quite a number of
negroes in the Chicago Convention, and
$5OO more if it proved that there was a
single man with admixture of negro
blood In the New York Convention.
The money is ready for it the minute It
is entitled to it. Let it come on with
the proof.
Not a Republican paper in this coun
ty has published Governor Seymour's
letter of acceptance. Not half a dozen
Radical papers in the State have bad
the honesty to do so, though they have
all misrepresented it. The fact is they
are afraid of the truths it contains, and
four the effect its circulation would have
upon their readers. Let Democrats see
to it that their Republican neighbors
are supplied with the moans of infor
mation, There should be a very wide
circulation given to Dumocratie news
papers and documents. This is a work
to which every true Democrat should
give especial attention during this im
portant campaign. Moro votes can be
made in that way than in any other.
Try lt, and you will be fully convinced.
Tian Exproa attempts to excuse Its
party for the introduction of a large
number of negro delegates into the con•
veption which nominated Grant, by
making a noise about negro speakers
taking the Democratic side in the South.
That the negroes of the South will vote
very largely for the Democratic candi
dates this fall, and so long as they con•
tinue to have votes, we have no doubt.
They will certainly be under the control
of those who employ theta. But that
will only prove what fools the Radicals
were when they enfranchised them,
and show how well founded were the
arguments of the Democratic party
against incorporating such a mass of
ignorance into the body politic.
The Negroes of Penuytrania Determined
The negroes of the Union. League of
this State have just been holding a Con•
vention at Williamsport. They boldly
demand the right to vote, and are de
terrnined to have it. The following is
one of a series of resolutions on the
subjeetwhipillywas unanimously adopted:
.Beio/ved; That this league shall press
the claims of the colored people upon our
State and national Legislatures with untir
lug energy, until every right is granted unto
air the people, and the record of this nation
shall be most illustrious in giving justice to
all its inhabitants, while the old flag will be
handed down to the latest ireneration as the
emblem of the land of tho free and thohome
of the brave.
That reads much like certain passages
in the editorials of Republican papers,
and Bounds exactly like the speeches of
certain Radical orators. It is the florid
style of putting the demand for perfect
and complete negro equality.

Why Don't Ito Resign?
GENERAL GRANT now holds by far
the most desirable official position un
der the Government. He is General of
the Armies of the United States, a title
not even conferred upon WASHINGTON,
and holds office during good behaviour,
or substantially for life. He receives a
salary of about twenty thousand dollars
a year.
We cauot understand why he is so
anxious to exchange his present posi
tion for that of President, which only
continues four years, atasalary of tweu
ty-flve thousand dollars a year. Have
the Radicals promised to Increase the
salary of President, in case of his elec
tion? Or, is GENERAL GRANT to retain
his present office and salary, after be•
coming President? In other words, is
he to be both General and President,
and draw the pay of both offices ? There
is strong reason to suspect that one of
these designs is entertained ; but if not,
and Gen. Grant and his friends are as
confident of his election as they pretend,
let him resign the office he now holds
and thus remove these damaging sus
picions.
Naturalization

taken to have every man, who is enti

How Old le Grant?
The other evening General Grant
made the following remarkable speech
in Bt. Louis, to a crowd which assem
bled to greet him :
Gentlemen and Tullow•cltirons: I can
scarcely find words to thank you for this
hearty and warm reception. It is pout'.

friends in fit. Louis, a place which has
arisen since I have been amen, grown, and
where I have Interests, and whore I intend
to become a resident at some future day.—
Thanking you again, I will bid you good
night.
That speech raises the question, how
old is Grant ? St. Louis le quite an
ancient city for this country. It was a
very, considerable city at the time Jesse
says Ulyesus was born. How did Grant
come to makesuch a blundering speech?
Was he embarrassed, or worn 9 What
a candidate for President! How long
has he been " a man grown?"
A Radical Rebellion Threatened.
The Radicals are preparing to precip
itate the country into another terrible
civil war. Johnson, their candidate for
Attorney General of Missouri, made a
speech at Saline, In that State, the
other day, in which he used tho follow
ing revolutionary language :
"There could and should be but one result
to the election this fall—that General Grant,
backed by the army and supported by the
whole Radical party, would prevent, with the
bayonet, the inauguration of a Democratic
administration at Washington, and that the
Radical State Government at Jefferson would
resist and put down in the same way any at •
tempt to inaugurate the Democratic party
Into power in this State."
The only way to settle this revolu
tionary party Is to give Seymour a huge
majority In the North; and that Is just
what the people are preparing to do.

This Is the oath whloh must bo taken
by those who desire to vote in a num•

" I do aoleinnly swear that I accept the
civil and political equality of all men, and
agree not to attempt to deprive any peraon

privilege, or immunity enjoyed by any other

scribing to that disgusting oath. If you
have no regard for men of your own
race in the South, will you not protect

the rights of your descendants?
Butler the Bootlick.
Butler, the spoon thief, has come out
for Grant, and humbly licks the boots
of the man whom he once so boldly de
nounoed as a butcher, and the murderer
of Union prisoners whom he refused to
exchange. Butler is capable of any
meanness. He voted 79 times for Jeff.
Davis for President at Charleston, and
would vote for him to-morrow if he
could make money by so doing. The
Radicals are overjoyed .because Butler
now support Grant.
THE South Carolina Legislature has
just passed a law prohibiting any die.
tinction of color in hotels or public con
veyances. People who want a taste of
the sweets of,equallty can now have
them by making a trip down that way.
We hope many Radicals will go, as we
have no doubt they would all come
back perfectly cured.
Another Republican Paper Out ibr Rey:.

Republlean paper published in Rock.
land county, New York, comes out for
Seymour.: It says :
"The emergencies which eilatin our Na

ly, as we firmly believe, through the Bloom
potency and, in some instances, the dishon
esty of these placed in pbwer by the Repub.
lican party ; the reckless extravagance
which marks the legislation of that party
wherever they are in the ascendant: the
enormous taxation imposed upon the whole
people, but bearing with almost crushing
effect upon the laboring and producing
classes, imposed, continued, and with every
prospect of increase, too palpably with a
view to keep that party in power, with
out regard either to the absolute wants of
the country, or with any apparentintention
of ultimate liquidation of our enormous in
debtedness ; the elevation of a class of peo
pie to the elective franchise, too ignorant
and degraned to understand or intelligent
ly exercise the high privilege, leaving thorn
a prey to designing, dishonest and corrupt
politicians, and disfranchising a large por
tion of that class of persons best qualified,
by long habit, education, and more recent
political affliction, to properly shape and
guard the machinery of government; the
keeping and maintaining an enormous and
and expensive military establishment in a
time of profound peace; the erecting and
maintaining a vast charity machine for the
support of idle negroes, and still more idle
politicians, called the Freedmen's Bureau,
not only at a heavy tax upon the country,
but by its very institution and creation,
making dangerous inroads upon the civil
adthiniatration of law and a pretext for
military rule; the incompetency manifest
ed in understanding or grasping questions
of finance; and, finally, the fearful and
rapid strides towards centralization, thus
seeking to absorb in the General Govern
ment, and, in the same measure, deprive
States and municipalities of thatjuat distri
bution of governmental power which, in a
republic where that power is expressly de
rived from the people, all history and ex
perience has demonstrated as fatal to re
publican life and liberty."
This Is a true bill of indictment
against Radicalism, which furnishes
ground for other Republicans to change
their course. Now is the time. Thous
ands upon thousands will do so in No
vember.
The South Carolina Democratic Conven-
At the South Carolina Democratic
Convention the following resolution
offered by Wade Hampton was unani
mously adopted :
Resolved, That, while entering our pro
test against the Radical reconstruction acts
we rely confidently on constitutional agen
cies and peaceful measure alone to bring
us the relief sought and the reform needed.
Wade Hampton also made a speech in
which, alluding to the recently reported ut
terances of his reproduced in the Isiorth,rn
papers in reference to the Confederate flag,
he said: "This statement is in every re
spect false. On the contrary, when I spoke
of the flag of the Confederacy I remarked
that now was furled forever, to be burled
in the grave of the lost cause.'"
Will the Radical newspapers publish
the above correction of the falsehoods
they have been circulating? We shall
see.
Radical Law Against Adopted Citizens in
Niw Hampshire
In New Hampshire as well as in Con•
necticut the Radicals have enacted a
law to oppress foreigners. and prevent
them, as far as possible, from availing
themselves of the privilege of naturali
zation, which is guaranteed to them by
the Constitution of the United States.
The New York World sums up the pro
visions of this infamous law as follows:
There is nothing the Radicals fear so
much as a fair vote, and as another pi oofof
that fact comes an act in relation to the
naturalization of aliens, passed by the Leg
islature of New Hampshire, and approved
July 4, 1808. By this act it is povidud, first,
that nu court In New Hampshire, save the
Supreme Judicial Court, shall have juris
diction in matters of naturalization; sec
ond, that this Jurisdiction shall only be ex
ercisable at such times as said Court may
be in session, and nut as in chambers;
third, that no proceedings shall be had with
out at least four clays notice, and without
all examination of applicant and witnesses
on oath at a time not specified, which of
of course leaves It discretionary with the
Court when there shall be any proceedings
at all,
Tho Court Itself Ix as Radical as the
moot ultra Radical could desire, and It
Is expected that foreigners will thus bo
cheated out of their rights. Tho spirit
of Know•Nothlugism still lives In the
Republican party.

An Antiorsonville Picture.
The Radicals ought to get out another
edition of the miserable daub of a car
icature which they circulated in this
State two years ago. That represented
our prisoners starving In Andersonvilla
prison. Another Is needed now with Joe
Brown, the former landlord of the place,
since a delegate to Chicago and a Radical
candidate for U. S. Senator, in the fore
ground. He should be pictured in the
sot of reading Grant's order to stop the
exchange of prisoners. It would be a
truthful and effective campaign doou
ment. Won't they please to let us have
it ?
. A Disloyal Speech of Seymour.
We call the attention of Radical
slanderers to the following loyal lan
guage of Governor Seymour. which can
be found in his message to the Legisla
ture of New York in January of 1883 :
"Under the circumstances, can the divis
ion of the Union be conceded? We will put
forth every exertion of power; we will use
every policy of conciliation ; we will hold
, every Inducement to the people of the South
to return to their allegiance, consistentwith
honor ; we will guarantee them every right,
every consideration demanded by the Con
stitution, and by the fraternal regard which
must prevail in a common country, but we
can never voluntarily consent to the break
lag up of the union of these Slates, or the
destruction of the Constitution."
Is there anything "disloyal" about
that? If so, it will be difficult to find
loyalty or true regard for the Constitu
tion.
THE Radicals have had a fierce guar
rel over the nomination for Congress

and the Mercer county . Republicans re.

Kentucky has doubled her Democratic
majority in one year, and that is a revolt'.
tionary fact. Ildejoriitas do not vary at each
a rate ordinarily. HitherM the home of
Henry Clay has given Democratic majori
ties, but not each as are given this year.
Other parties have had a very respectable
hearing in that State. She was one of the
two Southern States that gave Lincoln a
a vote in 1880, and in the same year only
Virginia and Tennessee of the Southern
States outvoted her on the Bell and Everett
ticket. Even in 1864 McOlellan's majority
was•only 88,000. Nothing like so intensely
Democratio in the past as Southern States
generally, she gives the Democratic candi
date this year a majority of 00,000—a vote
that indicates a movement of the people
scarcely hum than a stain e. Negro suf
frage is held responsible or this change by
the local chroniclers, and the ohroulelers
are in all probability right. Negro suffrage,
so avowedly the policy of the Republican
party that its orators can no longer make
any denial, has applied a tremendous pro
cess of "attrition" to the Republican vote in
Kentucky and worked It down to a worth•
less quantity.
It will do the same elsewhere. Through-
out the South we shall see this one definite
result of kogro suffrage—that there will no
longer bo any practicable division of the
white vote, but the pooplethat have hitherto
given a respectable vote to each of the two
parties will now all go together by lnatlnc
live agglomeration against the negro suf
frage narty. In Kentucky the result Is
clearly seen, because there is no negro vote
to give respectable proportions to the other
side; but the democratic majority is CO
great that even the natural negro vote of
that State—which would be about twenty
live thousand—could not have changed the
result if cast. In those States, therefore, In
which negro suffrage la in lorce the vote of
the negro will not come as a balance of
power between parties, It will not swell the
weaker side as that side appeared in the
former political divisions of the people; but
if cast for the radicals ifwlll stand alone
against the whole white vote. human
nature can never be reduced to mathematics
exactly ; but if there is a point in its his
tory very nearly capabloof positive demon
stration it is the force with which the vari
ous otherwise hostile elements of a people
combine in presence of a common danger.
There is no point of difference between the
people that will not dwindle to Insignifi
cance by comparison with the difference
between black and white. The consequence

Carolina. Regarding the statistics of elec
tions up to 18030 as well as the recent regis
tration we should have excepted Mississippi
also, but the recent vote on tho constitution
Indicates that the democracy rule there also.
In 1860 eleven Southern States gnvo five
hundred and eighty-three thousand votes
for the democratic candidate and four hun
dred and seven thousand for the Bell and
Everett ticket. Doubtless the Bell and
Everett vote represents the proportion of
Southern sentiment that might have favor
ed the pone.) , of a reconstructing party of
patriotic purposes and holding rational
views of politics and of human nature; but
against a party to whose policy negro suf
frage Is only the preface, the whole while
Southern vote of 18410 is sure to go together,
and will make s total sufficient to neutral
ize the negro vote, and, in addition, balance
the republican majority of IFil.l on the popu
lar vote of the whole country.
In the North the veto against the Repub
licans will be very heavy, Men know how
far Democratic misrule would go, and what
direction it would take, and they do not
know the limit of radical madness, .1 mtg.
hag it by the past, they find it difficult to
conceive that the Republican fury has any
definite limit. :clitherto it hits hesitated at
nothing, has pushed recklessly on wherever
hounded by ambitious leaders, and rather
thambe dragged where such a party would
go the people will take the chance of revo
lution with the Dentocruts. Republicanism,
In fact, Is driven to a point at which It Is
desperate. For two years it has stood upon
the defensive before the people. Had the
popular jealousy of its tendencies been less
clearly shown it would have pushed on to
the extremity of confiscation and proscrip
tion ; for Its leaders felt that these were ne
cessary parts of its policy, that those alone
could give it sale possession of what
it had already won. Without con
fiscation the results of negro suf
frage will slip through its fingers. With
out proscription the Southern Status cannot
be kept I rrote the !littoral lenders of the
Southern people. The Republican party
of the future, therefore will he ready for
any desperation , convinced from Its past
that the greatest danger is In standing still.
There is, then, greater reason than over
why it should be kept from power, and tills
the people evidently feel. Last year tile

lions of dollars in the shape of taxes to
the United States Government in 1807,
and the Radicals spent more than five
times that amount down there In avain
attempt to subject the whites to the
domination of the negroes. That same
kind of thing was done in the other
Southern States. That is a specimen of
Radical statesmanship and economy.

THE stationery account of the House
