Safe Harbor, Saturday evening, October :3rd Circulate Political Truth The campaign draws to a close. The work which is to be done must be done quickly. In no way can so much good be effected as by the systematic circula tion of sound and reliable Democratic newspapers. The INTELLIUENCER is unsurpassed by any journal in the State. Spread it among all who will read it. THE WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER will be furnished to clubs of five or more until after the Presidential election FOR THIRTY CENTS. No further reduction in price will he made. Then forward at once the names of such persons as you desire to have the paper sent to. The cash must accompany the order. Supplement to the Weekly 1,11.0111:Nicer. We send out to-day a supplement the WEEKLY INTELLIGENCES. We are compelled to do this because our adver tisements encroach too largely upon the columns which should be deVoted to reading matter. The INTELLMENCER is recognized as second to no paper in the State as a medium fur such adver tising. It reaches the many thousands of the class of persons likely to pur chase. We shall continue to issue a supplement until after the October elcc• Lion, perhaps longer. IN accordance with the request of Henry Shaffner, Esq., who was selected foi County Auditor by the late Conven tion, John Hildebrand, Sr., has been put on the ticket in his stead by the County Committee. Be Assessed Let it be distinctly remembered that Friday, October 2d, is positively the last day on, which assessments can be made. Radical assessors will,in many Instances do all they can to ernbarass Democratic voters. The party is desperate and its metnbers will resort to every possible means to prevent a Democratic triumph in October. Let it be seen to that every Democrat is duly assessed al once. Let each man see to himself and his neighbors at the same time. God and Morality Orators General Sidle's, who spoke in this city yesterday, has been rendered infa• mous among all decent men by his kill ing of Barton Key, and hjOtaking the willing adultness with whom Key con sorted to his embraces again. General Kilpatrick traveled through New Jersey in 1866 with a harlot, who put up with him at the hotels where be stopped during the campaign. He af terward scandalized the civilized world by taking her with hill] to Chili and attempting to introduce her into society there. Verily this God and Morality party is made up of queer stuff. Negroes to the Front Since the dernononstration which the darkies made at the funeral of Thad. Stevens, the dead King of the Repu bli can party in Pennsylvania, the Radicals seem to have conceded the•right of negroes to take the lead in their politi cal processions. At the drunk en parade which disgraced Pittsburg theother day, the first thing which attracted attention was a large delegation of the " Colored Union League," equipped as Tanners, with silver gray capes and caps. They bore a banner on which was inscribed: " We 'femme/ equal lights." That was all as it should be. The Republicans of Allegheny county are consistent. They accept the logical conclusion of the Chicago platform, and very properly give the place of honor to the negro. Loyal liovernora Governor Curtin's name is signed to an invitation to all the "loyal" es•gov ernors to assemble in Philadelphia on October 18th, We learn that Governor Seymour is not included. Yet this same fellow, Curtin, was ]out, in praise of Horatio Seymour when the New York militia marched by the steps of the State House in Philadelphia when be was pleading for volunteers to defend the State Capitol. Such politicians as Andy Curtin have convenient memo ries. They are very short at times. GENERAL MCCLELLAN le now on the sea, homeward bound from Europe.

The CounVi l lcr M-Rition by the Democrac ' day • most excellent on,e;throug , an the people of..LanOlitere induced to &teal:fere every man on it would be triunsPhantly . elected. The best interest of the nation, the State and the county would be sub served by such a result. We suppose it would be to much to sitiythatwe expect a triumph of patriotism nverparty pred judice. We presuixici a -6itissiderable majority of the people ofthitgeat and wealthy county will coutintiejOrViTite the Radical ticket, with a tiliad and unquestioning obedience. , • litany _ of them will do so against the dictates of their bitter judgment, .-Thousauds ; of_ them are convinced that a change Is peratively denianded,buteoinparatively' few will have the manhood to out.',lOati from their partyassociationsand tovote for the Democratic candidates. there are some who are ready to:make a change, and to such as wellos to Svery . Democrat In the county the ticket which, stands at the head of our columns will commend itself very strongly. For the long term of Congress H. B. Swarr, - Esq., was nominated. He is too well known to the people of Lancaster county to need any special commenda tiou at our hands. A leading lawyer in large practice, helms always been recog nized as a gentleman of high character, And finebusinesscapacity. He has been a life-long and consistent Democrat, and has been intimately associated with the active working of the party for years past. Robert Crane, Esq., who was unani mously nominated for the short term, is a gentleman of fine business capacity, a resident of the thriving town of Co lumbia, and one of its most energetic and public spirited citizens. He is de serving of this mark of confidence. Our Assembly ticket is an excellent one; H. S. Kerns, of Salisbury twp., is an active and intelligent business man, widely known and universally popular. Dr. 11. Reemsnyder, of Ephrata, is a gentleman of fine capacity, and a mail who commands the respect and esteem of a host of friends. Lieut. J. M. John ston, of Lancaster city, is a printer by trade, was a gallant soldier, marched with Sherman from Atlanta to the sea, participating in many hard fought bat ties and always doing his whole duty. He is a gentleman of intelligence, with a clear understanding of the political questions of the day. W. W. Steele, Esq., of Drumore, is a substantial citi zen of the southern end of Lancaster county, a representative of the Scotch Irish element which abounds there, and which is possessed of a high order of intelligence. Our candidate for Associate Judge, Wm. Spencer, Esq., is one of the most intelligent and popular men in Lancas ter county. He filled the office of County Commissioner for three years, and made one of the best officers the county ever had. The Democracy have the greatest confidence in and esteem for Mr. Spencer, and would gladly have given him any position on the ticket which he would have desired. Some of his friends thought that he would pre fer the Congressional nomination, while others claimed that he would prefer to be nominated as Associate Judge, and even "took the responsibility" of with drawing his name as a candidate for Congress. As Mr. S. was unfortunately away from home, and his brother on the floor of the Convention did not feel authorfzed to act for him, this ext;aor dinary dispute as to Mr. Spencer's pre ference could not be decided; and as Mr. Swarr was in the Convention and his desire for theCougressional nomina tion was not in doubt, the Convention very properly determined to make him our candidate for Congress, and give Mr. Spencer the unanimous nomina tion for Associate Judge. The contest for District Attorney was Olgorous. The candidates are both young lawyers of ability, and both have been successful in their profession. Mr. Swift is deservedly popular, and would make a most efficient District Attorney. 0, 0. Brush, Esq., our candidate for County Commissioner, was once elect ed to the State Legislature. He is it man of excellent capacity, possessing precisely the qualities needed in a County Commissioner. The candidates for the minor offices aro all good men and true, and the ticket, from top to bottom, is one of the best ever presented to the people of t,an easter county. The Letter of Mr. UM on the Camilla Tradgedy. We publish elsewhere a letter of Hon. B. H. Hill, addressed to the editor of the New York 7rihunr, in which a fair and impartial account of the Camilla riot is given. Mr. Hill shows that the whites were not the aggressors. He goes still further, and givitit. good reasons why they are not HIM} , ever to excite any contest between the two races. His letter lays tbe blame of the recent riot where it all properly belongs, upon the miserable carpetbag adventurers who, having gone South for the sake of scour. lug the spoils of office, are exciting the negroes to bitter animosity toward the whites of that section. These despica ble wretches care not what infernal scenes of rapine and slaughter may fol low in their wake, so they can but clutch the pay of Congressmen, or the salaries attendant upon other Mikes. They are enemies to the peace of the nation, and haye done more to destroy the industry of the South, and to cripple the resources of the country than any other single agency. But for them there would have been no antagonism between the freed men and their former toasters. The negroes would have remained quietly at their legitimate work on the planta• tions, making a comfortable living for themselves and their families. There would have been no use for the costly Freedmen's Bureau. The crops of the South would have been vastly larger then they have been and the ravages of the war would'have been rapidly re paired. The tax-payers of the North have au account to settle with these miserable adventurers. They Lave kept the in dustry of ten States in a paralyzed con dition. Thus the production of the great staples have been seriously lessen ed, our exports vastly reduced, and the prices of cotton, sugar, tobacco and rice kept far above what they should have been. By that mewls the working men have been forced to pay vastly more Lima they should have done fur certain of the great necessaries of life. But that is not the only way they have been iu jured by tho carpet-baggers. The South has been kept in such an impoverished condition by the attempt to give the rule to barbarian negroes, that the peo ple of that section Lave been unable to pay any considerable proportion of taxes. The consequence has been that the vast sums of money, which a Radical Con• gresshas recklessly expended,have been wrung almost exclusively from the sweat and toll of the laboring men of the North. The people of the North see how this system has been operating. They have some idea of how much they are being compelled to pay to elect a set of needy and unprincipled adventurers to Con gress from the South by negro votes. The consequenc4 is that the carpetbag gers are hated 'lay the people of the North as heartily as they are despised by the white men of the South. They are recognized as common enemies, and they cannot expect the sympathy of honest or decent men in any section of the country. The sooner they are Bent into the obscurity from which they should never have been permitted to emerge, the better it will be for the whole people. That Is the .prevailing sentiment now, and it will continue to grow in strength, until there is an end of the infamous system from which the wretched creatures have sprung like mushrooms from a dung hill.

That w ill set tle theßresldential contest. Even our opportentsedmit that. The liberties of this people, and all the best Interests of the flatten, hang trembling upon-the result. Every man has a di rect personal and pecuniary interest in the present contest. Thls nation cannot stand four years more of Congressional despotism, such as we have had. Grant declareshe.will have no policy in opposition to the fan atics who control Congress. He is pledged to let them have their own way in every thing. He will be the mere tool of the most dangerous Radi cals. Such an administration of the Government must bring unnumbered and unendurable ills upon the people. The Union will be kept Divided. The Negro Governments in the South ern Stales will be maintained bg bay° nets. A gigantic Army will be kept up for that purpose, at the cost of the toiling masses of the North. The Freedmen's Bureau will be con tinued. The South will become less productive each year. The people will be continually render ed less capable of paying thcir proper share of taxes. The burthens of every taxpayer in the North will be thereby constantly in creased. 77w Radicals, being unrebuked, will continue to plunder the public Treasury at will. Congress will appropriate money with grader recklessness. The flood gates of fraud and corrup tion will be opened still more iclldely. A vast horde of greedy aPd hungry partisans will be well fed, if the country should be bankrupted in the process. O f ficial stealing will have been sane• Honed by the verdict of the people. The millcnium for 'political thieves will hare been ushered in, and full ad vantage will be taken of it. Even the present oppressive system of taxation will not furnish money enough to satisfy the cormorants. The debt will continue to increase, as it has been doing for months past. No attempt will be made to pay a dot lar of the principal. The Bondholders will get the interest for a while, but complete repudiation will certainly follow. There is no hope of relief for the tax • payer, no prospect that the bonds will ever be paid unless economy and reform are speedily inaugurated. Four years fliers of Radical rule will bankrupt this nation. It may nut destroy ourliberties, but it will be almost certain to lead to a war for their maiuteuace. The masses understand the issues which are involved in this contest, and we believe they are prepared to put down Radicalism at the ballotbox. The people of Pennsylvania feel the impor tance of the October election. We have confidence in them, and are not only hopeful but cheerfully confident of the result. All that Is needed to insure a glorious triumph for the people is a fall poll of the Democratic role; ANI, THAT WE But it can only be secured by proper, individual effort. Let every man do his share of the great work, and all will be well. Radical Soldiers on the Stump Generals Sickles and Kilpatrick spoke at the Radical Mass Meeting yesterday. The Radicals ought to have invited General lade to follow and give the reasons why he and Gen eral Grant, iu order to get rid of Sickles, broke up the "old Third corps," and consolidated it with the Second corps wader General Hancock. Doubtless he would also give the reasons why Kil patrick, after his disastrous and futile attempt to make a raid into Richmond in February, 1864, (iu which we lost Col. Dahlgren and others) was sent from the army of the Potomac. Gen erals Grant atkd Meade could make some disclosures net very gratifying to the Radical orators. The people should be fully impressed with the fact that these two Radical orators are salaried officers of the Gov_ eminent drawing pay from au over bur dened treasury, while roaming over the country making Radical speeches. Kil patrick is drawing an annual salary of ten thousand a year as minister to Chili, who instead of making foolish and disconnected harangues should be at his post attending to his official duties for which he is paid. Sickles is full Colo nel in the Regular Army drawing his pay as such: No wonder there is such a rush to reduce the Regular Army when field officers find time for months to leave User posts and make rampant political speeches. When Generals Hancock, Rousseau and other Democratic general officers of fhe Regular Army were solicited to "stump it," they very properly replied that they did not think it becoming an officer of the Regular Army to do any such thing. But the Radicals are hard pressed for speakers. Any one acquaint ed with the rambling and incoherent manner and style of Kilpatrick must know they are hard pressed when they have to " fall back" un llow The Public Debt Is Increusln, Radical newspapers seem to be given to the utterance of barefaced falsehoods. They presume on the ignorance of their readers and misrepresent all public af fairs in the most, remarkable manner. Ou no question has there been more glaring misstatements made by them than in reference to the public debt.— The fact that it is increasing at a rapid rate is carefully concealed. The actual figures show that on Sep tember 30, 1864, the debt was $1,955,073,- 716.46. From this sum it continued to rise till it reached, on .ugust 31, 1865, $2,757,080,571.48, and then continued to fluctuate with a downward tendency until November 1, 1807, when it was $2,491,504,430. It then commenced to rise until September 1, 1808, when it was $2,535,614,313.03. Meantime taxa• Um. has beeu as active and oppressive as ever. Under these circumstances, we would like' to know from the advocates of the party in power at what period they propose to extinguish this federal debt, and free the people from their heavy burthens 7 GEN.

Altick & McGinnis have a bill against them for capes; Shultz & Bro., for caps, and many other of our citizens for vari ous articles furnished ; so that having a lively recollection of the way they were " bilked" in 1800, our storekeepers wise ly demanded this year from these gay and festive torch-bearers; cash in ad vance; and this explains why there were but 217 in procession last night. Each cape and torch represented so much money withdrawn from the cam paign fund, and this was not big enough to pay for more that 217, even if $l5OO had been squeezed out of Oliver and $5OO out of George to replenish it. We are glad for the sake of our store keepers that our young Republican friends are being taught to pay cash in advance for their purchases. It is a good habit to learn, and one which seems to be finding favor in Republican eyes; for the strongest, sharpest and most brilliant illustration of the princl• pie which we have lately heard of, was the action of the Republican County Committee in requiring Col. Dickey to pay cash down in advance 10 per cent. upon the salary—sls,ooo--which he is going to earn during the three years of Congressional life to which 'he is about to be elected. They were not content to take 10 per cent. of his salary as he earned it, but demanded the whole in advance. Oliver should get his life insured, since if he don't live out his three years he will havepaid too much, and he cannot hope that the County Committee will refund to his heirs. The Committee would probably have treated Col. Dickey more liberally, but they doubtless argued that if they trusted him, they might be treated as were the creditors of the Wide Awakes of whom he was the responsible head, and they would therefore lose their money. They prudently resolved to take no such risk. Steinman & Co., Shultz & Bro, Altick & McGinnis, and others of our deluded citizens envy them their sagacity but have firmly resolved that they will not be in the future as they have been in the past, lamps to the feet of all who might be disposed to believe in Repub lican honesty. They " have been there" but they won't go again. The Labor Congress The Great National Labor Congress, which has been in session in New York, adjourned on Saturday, to meet in Pitts burg next year. The resolutions adopted are antagonistic to Radicalism, without directly referring to party politics. They could not well have been otherwise. All the interests of the working classes are in antagonism to such rule as we are having. Every sensible working man sees and feels that. The Radicals have devoted all their energies to build ing up monopolies. Rich capitalists are favored in every possible way, while the laboring man is not only left to struggle on as best he call, but all the burthens of taxation are shifted to his shoulders. The masses see and feel that ; and there has not been a meeting of working men held in the country for two years past which has not been in sympathy with the Democratic party. The time is coming when the laboring men will make their power felt, They will be seen and heard at the ballot box in October and November ; and a Demo cratic victory will be the result. Further Increase of the Public Debt The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says: Estimating from the figures of the Tress ury Department, so far as they have been ascertained, the statement of the public debt for the month will disclose another small increase of the national indebtedness. It is not easy to form a close estiniate of this increase, but It may possibly reach 1;2,500,- 000. This is owing principally to the un usually heavy expenditures of the War Department on account of reconstruction, and the surprisingly smell receipts from internal revenue. One or two branches of the publict debt will show a dimunttion, but the others hove considerably increased, while the amount of cash in the Treasury has been pretty well reduced. How can the bondholders expect the Radicals to pay the obligations in gold while their miserable reconstruction policy Increases the public debt from month to month? How long will the people submit to be burthened by a mountain load of taxation which grows greater every day ? These are serious questions which all voters would do well to ponder carefully. THE saints are forever denying some thing that they afterwards do. They denied emancipation, subjugation, ne gro suffrage South, but they did them for all that, and, just as they now deny any purpose to force negro suffrage in the North, they will surely do It, if in their power. Counted In States, negro suffrage is ten out of thirty-seven; in Senators, It is twenty out of seventy four; iu Representatives, fifty out of two hundred and forty-three; In elec toral votes, seventy out of three hundred and seventeen. This is the balance of power—the power—and yet it is gravely proposed to in trust it not to 000,000 Chinamen, 000,- 000 Camanches, or 000,000 Cliinooka, but to 000,000 Congo negroes, so ignor ant that, unlike any other people on the known earth, there is a special depart ment of Government allotted to keep them, like froward children, from tumbling into the fire. For shame, that with such an Issue we should be delib erately insulted by a party declaring us no better than these helpless barbarians. They have never ruled anybody, not even themselves, and neither can nor ought to rule us In any the remotest or implied degree. Great Speech of Senator Cowan. • ' 11We give up a great deal of our space to• day to the great speech of Hon. Edgar Cowan. It is the strongest indictment of the Radicals yet published, and shows up the folly and criminality of the legislation of Congress in a master •' ly manner. No man of intelligence can read it without being convinced of the danger of suffering the destinies of the nation to continue in such hands. Read it—and then hand it to your Republican neighbor, The Invisible Candidate. Grant Is kept completely out of the sight of the American people.

And under this follows this enuncia tion of popular ideas: GREENBACKS FOR BONDS One Currency for the Government and the People, the Laborer and the Officeholder, the Pensioner, the Soldier, the' Producer, and the Bondholder The Bondholder demands gold fur his bond ; the Soldier must take greenbacks for his pension. The Bondholder demands gold for his bond ; the Laborer most take greenbacks for his daily toil. The Bondholder demands gold for his bond; the Farmer and the Mechanic must eke greenbacks for their productions. The Soldier's pension of $l5 is worth but about $lO in gold; the Bondholder's $l5 in gold are worth $22 in greenbacks. $1 in gold will buy as much as $1.30 in greenbacks. The Bondholder obtains his gold and he grows richer; the Soldier, the Laborer, the Farmer, and the Mechanic, must take the greenbacks, and they grow poorer. The Bondholder pays no taxes upon his Bonds, for they are exempted by law ; the Soldier, the Laborer, the Farmer and the Mechanic, pay their own taxes and the Bondholders too. The Bondholder gave greenbacks for his bonds. lie has drawn the interest in gold, and now he demands gold for the principal. In ISti3 the average value of a greenback dollar was seventy• One cents; in 1804, fifty cents ' • and in 1865, filly nine cents. In 1864, the Bondholder paid $250 iu gold for a $5OO bond. He has drawn interest in gold upon it, to the amount of $l2O, which was worth at least $2OO in currency. If his bond is paid in gold he Las cleared $250, worth now $375, and this added to the in lerest, makes a net profit of $575 in four years on an investment of $2OO. The gold to pay both principal and inter est comes from the tariff that the govern ment lays on the poor man's tea, coffee and sugar, for all other taxes are paid in cur rency. Every pound of tea pays twenty-five cents in gold to the Bondholder ! Every pound of coffee pays five cents in gold to the Bondholder! Every pound of sugar pays f or cents in gold to the Bondholder! The whole debt is now twenty-sir hun dred millions of dollars. In the month of July the interest-bearing portion of it in creasod sixty-seven millions, thus adding n one month nearly four millions of annual interest to the burthens of the people. Sixteen hundred millions of the debt are, by this contract, payable in greenbacks; if this is paid in gold it adds eight hundred millions to the value of the Bondholder's claim, and to the terrible load that now op presses the people and destroys their busi ness. The Bondholders demand that labor and production Shall be taxed for their benefit; they claim that they are a privileged class, and exempt from taxation. Pay the debt in Greenbacks, and you re duce the burthens of the people. Every thing we cat, drink and wear, are now taxed to pay the Bondholder. Pay the debtin Greenbacks, and you pay it in the currency the Bondholder gave for his bond. Pay the debt in Greenbacks, and you stimulate industry and invigorate business. Pay the debt in Greenbacks, and you pay it according to the contract. The Radicals say pay the Bondholder in Gold. The Democracy say pay the Bond holder according to his contract. We do not wonder that the Express is enraged at the circulation of these documents. They carry conviction to the minds of the masses wherever they go. Let them be spread broadcast. We do not think they will buy much butter, but we do believe they are well calcula ted to make votes. THE latest illustration of Radical hate for white men Is the discharge of the white city physician in the Fifth Ward, Wishington, and the appointment by the Radical mayor of a negro quack in his place. When the delicate relations existing between the physician 'an .1 his patients—male and female, young and Id—are considered, this outrage is in ensified. The intention seems to be to unish the more indigent whites who close to vote the Radical ticket, by ompelling them to admit a negro into their private bed-rooms, or be bereft of the advantages of medical attendance and the means of obtaining medicines provided for them by law. White men can see by this act what is in store for them when the Radicals obtain posses sion of power lu the North, as they have in the South. WABMOUTH, the Carpet - bag Gov ernor of Louisiana, has vetoed the bill passed by the Legislature of that State to prevent distinction on account of color in hotels and public'conveyances. The negroes are outraged, and threaten to impeach him. When the demon of negro domination is once fully roused it will be hard to lay him. Sambo will yet give the Radicals more trouble than they dreamed of when they began their infernal system. They will find they have the biggest kind of an elephant on their hands. THE New York Tribune, of the 24th, asserted that " the Hon. Fred. Lauer, "of Reading, Pa., and one hundred "and twenty-four of his friends and "employees, all stout Democrats, have "come out for Grant and Colfax." This is a lie, as will be seen by the following telegram from Mr. Lauer. EDITORS OF THE AOE : Brand the article in the New York Tribune, of the 24th, an infamous falsehood. I am, as ever, a do fender of the Constitution and a strong supporter of Seymour and Blair. FRED. LAUER. The report as to gr. Lauer's friends and employes is equally destitute of truth. This action shows the manner in which the Radicals are endeavoring to prop the falling • fortunes of Grant and Celli:l7,-I'7Na.

Lincoln's Ebert- - posed statesmanship and honesty, , Now the ,case is different. The Pe9Pie have been largely educated to the nation'e, necessity and duty, and do not even affect to put off any share of it on the shoulders of Grant, or fancy that he can or will lead onybody, or in anything. They see in him a tool, not, a leader. Faulty and detective as the Republican party is, still it holds in its hands our only chance of safety. It is a party without principles or leaders. Its selfish men can not lead it; and its honest men will not fol low. But, spite of all this, it either has within its ranks, nr represents the loyal masses of the nation. They have chosen it for their instrument. Success, if it come at all, during this generation, must come through its help. Whether one-half the legitimate results of the war . eball be lost or saved depends on the Preskjantial election. Our latest criticism on tfie Republican party is that they, by aheer incapacity, have put the nation into unnecessary peril When the impeachment failed It was mad ness to go on and admit the Rebel States to their old places. Without land, without arms, with but little organization, the loyal votes lies at the mercy of Rebels. Go to Lowell and announce that whoever votes the Democratic ticket will be discharged from the mills, how many will risk suffering to support their principles? The negro not only risks starvation, but walks to the bal lot box. with a pistol at his breast. If in such circumstances he 'stands by the flag we shall henceforth maintain that the black race is superior to our own—there is no page in American or English history which records a civil right maintained by the masses under such fearful conditions. Con gress betrayed its trust when it subjected the nation to such peril. The members proved themselves thoroughly incapable or dishonest when they adjourned In the pres ence of such a danger. Still the heart of the nation beats In the Republican party and every loyal man must hope and work for its success in this canvass. -- - - We have little confidence in Grant. The best thing about him is that he seems desir ous to execute the nation' will. He is no traitor like Johnson, neither has he any statesmenlike comprehension of the hour. We fear he belongs more to Morgan, Conk lin, and Howard than to Sumner and Wade. He was drunk in the public streets since the first day of January. This is a fact as patent as the sun at noonday ; none but those too dishonest to be trusted with public journals (bats passing themselves MI for owls,) deny it. He is a West Point graduate with his sympathies all in the wrong direc tion. He has just been through a war which was God's command to one race to do justice to another—a war whose root was slavery and whose fruit was freedom. Yet of the half-dozen catch-words that the nation has extorted from his lips, not one has any re lation to liberty. The mottoes he has lent to politics, or history, are such as a bull dog might have growled forth. A nation battling for an idea takes for its leader a man confessedly destitute of ideas. A stout soldier, an hon est administrative officer—but bad the nation been made up of Grants, there never would have been an anti-slavery enterprise, an emancipation proclamation, any North, or any South. France might as well have taken Murat for her Napoleon, or England put Roebuck in Peel's place. Our King Log is not imposed upon us; we select him ourselves. Nevertheless he is but a shallow and shortsighted critic who sees only Grant bofore bun. Grant is only the almost in visible point of the broad, and every day broadening mass of purpose and resolve and necessity behind him. Though the nation has not been lifted to the full comprehen sion of its own work it builds determinately, by instinct, as it were. It cannot compre hend, much more accept, a principle. It gropes, half in light, half in darkness; has found out Fessenden's incapacity but still hugs the delusion of his honesty. Like Milton's lion it has not wholly emerged into shape or freed lig" hinderparts." But its purpae is clear and full—over no mat ter how many prejudices, it will put beyond contingency the nation, and leave it nothing to blush for when it stands in the sisterhood of Christendom. o must accept the hour, not force it. Grunt's election means progress. We hope it means the iron hand of a just Govern ment laid relentlessly on Rebels. We hoped to see at last a lover of liberty in the White House, one who loved and understood what Lincoln only submitted to. If we cannot have that, give us at least a consta ble who will remorsely execute the laws. Ten days after such a will is recognized at the White House, Wade Hampton, Alex ander Stephens, Forrest, Toombs, Cobb, and Seymour will slink like whipped span iels to their kennels. Grant's friends un derstand so little the epoch they live in that their most lavish falsehood never claims for him anything which fits him for a lead er in such an hour. Pope said: Feign what clime you will—and paint It o'er so strong, Somo rising genius sins up to your song. But Grant's friends have not fancy and understanding of the hour enough to lift him up to its need. But let him show in the White House even the wholesome camp discipline they claim for him, and by the first day of next April a negro will walk a hundred miles, even in Kentucky, to find enough specimens of Ku-Klux to furnish the museums of the curious. All this blood and rage is the child of cowardice, and will vanish quickly into thin air, us it did in New Orleans when the grim and resolute Yankee laid his unfaltering hand on the helm. None so thorough coward at the bully. Hence we shall hail Maine and Vermont as dayistars of hope, and pray that other States may come up and better the in struction. The immediate issue now, as in 1961, is whether ' , the nation shall survive. 'Sey mour's success means another chance for secession. Grant's election melts the mil lions into one indissoluble whole ; calling us to stamp on it what legend God wills. As in 1861, the nation now can be saved only as a nation of justice and liberty. To his amazement Lincoln found himself the emancipator of the slave. To his equal amazement Grant will find himself borne up and on to be the shield of the negro.— We said, in November, 1860, " for the first time in our history, the slave has elected a President." The first day of January, 1863, justified the assertion. If, which may God grant, this November sends Grant to the White House, we shall say •'the negro has elected his Presdent"—may the future justify us as amply. WENDELL PHILLIPS Irishmen Attend Republicans in this region are very sweet with you just now. They deny that Colfax was a Know Nothing, and assume to bathe friend of all classes snd the champions of religious liberty. The Chicago Post, a re cognized organ of the Radical party, said of Irishmen in ils issue of the 9th of this month : He has hair on his teeth. Tie never knew an hour in civilized society. He never step ped on anything more solid than a dirt floor all his life until he stood on the deck of an emigrant ship. He is a born savage—as brutal a ruffian as an untamed Indian of the North American tribes. Of course he can't read. He can't write. All books to him are'sealed. He only believes in the priest ; and the priest is only a little less of a barbar ian than he is. The born criminal and pauper of the civ ilized world and withal the Innocent victim of the statecraft of England and the priest craft of Rome—a wronged, abused, and pitiable spectacle of a man capable of better things, pushed straight to hell by that abomination against common sense called the Catholic Religion, and that outrage upon political decency falsely known as Ameri can Democracy—what else does be know? 7o compare him with an intelligent freedman would be an insult to the latter. a • a • • a o The country has survived the Irish emi• gratlon—the worst with which any other country was ever afflicted. The Irish fill our prisons, our poor houses, our reform schools, our hospitals, our eleemosynary and reformatory institutions of all sorts. Scratch a convict or a pauper, and the chances are you tickle the skin of an Irish Catholic, at the same time—an leash Catho lic made a criminal or apauper by the Priest and politician who have deceived him and kept him in ignorance, in a word, a savage, as lie was born. The Chicago Post is as much the organ of the Republican party as the commercial or Gazette. What have they to sayabout it? A little . Costly. General Grant is tarrying at Galena, closely shut up In hie secluded residence so that no one gets a sight of him. In the meantime some $4OO or $OOO of the peoples money is expended daily In sending telegrams to him. All the cor respondence in regard to his duties at Washington is conducted by telegraph. It is well that the country should know what the people have to pay to'keep the Radical candidate for the • Presidency out of the sight of the *pre 'who are expected to vote for him, Revising the Constitution. The Washington Chronic/0 expresses the belief that experience has proved that the constitution of the United States had many defects and that the time is rapidly approaching for its re vision. What the necessity for revising it is, when it can be so conveniently set aside whenever the interekts of party demand, is not apparent. The Chroni cle mentions the one-term for the presi dency, among other am end ments, which it considers manifestly necessary. supra • t4l Hen B. 11. 11 1:1 fillke Iditit43.lill.

I beg permission to make a statement which will present this whole affair in its true light to you and the North ern people. ' Early in the canvass the whites of that SW°oine,tqubs 4.wigamare Deraf-gaia) received positive ,ieformation - that the ne groes were being encouragedlo arm them selveei and hold nightly , drills.' in military style.

White and ad. ored speakers at public meetings advised the negroes to get ready to fight, and were reminded that they could Use the torches foreWellings as wellas the guns and axes against people. A painful rumor obtained currency that the acting Governor (Bul lock) was in sympathy with, if not actual- ly aiding, this movement. Ido not .know that this was actually so. This state of things naturally created alarm. Several outbreaks were attempted, and several conspiracies to kill white peo ple were detected, and the negroes, when arrested in different portions of the State, said they had authority and orders to this effect. We also mostsatisfactorily obtained information that the object of the few whites who incited the negroes to their crimes was two-fold. First—To place the negroes, by discipline and excitement, beyond the in fluencerwhich might induce them to vote with the Democrats, or not to vote at all. Second—To provoke collisions expressly to influence the Northern people with charges of "rebel outrages." Now the interestaend the policy of the whites was lust the reverse. In the first place, it was Democratic proper. ty, and Democratic families, which would be endangered if riots occurred. In the next place, if the negroes became de moralized by these politico-military organizations and frequent assemblages, the crops would not be well gather ed, and Democrats owned the crops, and their impoverished condition made them anxious to gather as much as possible for the anticipated high prices. But lastly, we knew that the result of the Presidential election depended chiefly on the vote of the Northern States, and we were exceedingly anxious to avoid every possible occurrence which could excite the passions of the Northern people. Our property, our safety, our families, our maturing crops, and our party policy all combined to make us anx ious—unusually anxious—to keep the peace. How could we effectually keep the peace? None but those who felt the responsibility will ever know the difficulties with which our situation invested this question. But we resolved by common concert and coun sel— First: To bear every insult, and even outrage, possible, and never to resist or re• sort to force in any form, except when so trially.necessary to protect property, person or family. Second: To stop, by the constituted State authorities, all these nightly drillings, se cret military organizations, and armed as semblages, of every character, as calcula ted to break the peace. We had no confidence that the Governor would voluntarily aid us. Therefore, let ters were addressed to the Legislature urg ing action. The Legislature did act by passing resolutions requesting and urging the Governor to issue his proclamation for bidding these armed demonstrations. The Governor issued his proclamation, but in a style and with false charges which greatly confirmed the worst fears of the whites as to his sympathy with these movements. But we had the proclamation, and we hoped that all threatened dangers would disappear. Now, there was not the slightest desire, as you seem to think, of interfering with the constitutional right of black and white to keep and bear arms," or to have Republican meetings—as many and as long as they desire. We only desire to prevent military drills, and organizations not au thorized by law, and armed assemblages calculated to break the peace; and these we desired to prevent by legal authorily, exe cuted by the civil officer. You now have exact reason why the sheriff met the ap proaching armed procession, and after ex hibiting the Governor's proclamation told the leaders they could hold the meeting peaceably but begged them not to attempt it in violation of that proclamation. Camilla is a very small village of not ex ceeding, I would say, 300 inhabitants—black and white—men, women and children. A large assemblage of negroes gathered from surrounding counties, led by these white men, and all armed, and to be excited by inflammatory speeches, and many of them by other caases, placed the peop:e, families and houses of that little village in danger of pillage, rape and burning, with the alternative, if prevented, of fearful "rebel outrages," to kilt negroes and prevent free speech, scattered all over the North just as the State election was approaching, which, it was believed, would determine the presi dential election ! I know both Pierce and Murphy, the two white men who conducted this whole affair. They are of the most emphatic specimens of what are termed carpet-baggers. Before the passage of the reconstruction measures, there was no complaint heard against them. These measures disfranchised every intelli gent white citizen who bad held office in that country. Pierce settled as a bureau agent in Leo county, and Murphy in Dougherty county, adjoining the county in which Canaille is situated ; and in the counties of Lee and Dougherty there are five negroes to one white. I have no idea that one dozen white republicans could be found In the three counties. Thus, you see at a glance the temptations offered to Pierce and Murphy to get offices by the large negro votes. Accordingly since the passage of the reconstruction measures these men have sorted with the negroes. Pierce was for a time a candidate for Con gress at the last election. He has now re ceived the nomination for that position from a convention of negroes. Murphy was elected sheriff by the negroes at the last election, but was unable to give the bond. He is now, I believe, on the elec toral ticket. We have narrowly escaped several bloody riots in that region before. Our people here believed these men, especi ally the latter, incited them. They were both distinctly in view, with others, when we counted the difficulties in the way of preserving peace, and when we sought to secure the proclamation. But in spite of that proclamation, and all the remonstrances of our people, and the fears of our women and children, they per sisted In holding armed assemblages of ne groes, and the Camilla riot is the unfortu nate result. The Camilla riot, properly understood, will exhibit to the Northern people more clearly than a thousand speeches could, the exact reason why the Southern whiles are at present, unwilling to extend universal, in discriminate suffrage to the negroes. It is because they can be taken possession of by a very few bad white men seeking office at their hands, and made terrors to society, and destroyers of safety for property and security for families. Many of the more intelligent understand and repudiate these influences, but the greater number do not. In these very counties of Lee and Dougherty, in which Pierce and Murphy reside, I do personally know (for I plant in both those counties) that ln 1860—after the surrender, mark you—lands were selling from $lO to $2O par acre. Immediately after the passage 01 these reconstruction meas ures these very lands commenced declining, and I do know that some of them have re. cently been sold (with cotton as high as it was in lidO) at one dollar per acre in gold! To have our families and our lives thus constantly menaced and our property de• predated, is certainly a fearful and sad con dition. Let every man in the North place himself, his family and his property in this condition in his native country, and then, when he makes the most peaceable efforts possible, in a lawful way, to avert these dangers, let him hear himself denounced as "a rebel," "an enemy," and "a traitor" and guilty of "rebel outrages," and he will have some idea of the exact condition of the Southern whites, many of whom did all in their power, like the writer, to prevent se. cession, and who have never seen the day when they would not give theirdlves to preserve the constitution. Onr people bear these evils. Is there any other people on earth who would bear them so patiently? Why do they bear them? Because they look hopefully to the Northern people to rescue them. They love every man North who is willing to rescue them. They want, above all things, peace, They will make any other siscrillce,accede to any other demand the North can make, to secure peace. But they cannot and they will not consent, by their own act, to dishonor them selves by disfranchising their wisest and beat non, and agree to a scheme which must place their wives and their children and their little remnant of property under the domination of ignorant, semi•barbarous negroes, excited and led on by a few bad white men, who have no desire but to get office at the hands of these negroes. Why should they, for peace, consent to that which must destroy all peace? Yours, very truly il. 11. HILL.

The question naturally arises have the peo ple endorsed Senator Fessenderi, who voted for acquital or his colleague, Senator Mor rill, who voted (or the President's convic tion. It is a significant question and the Radicals should answer it. In connection with the election that took place yesterday, Congressional Blaine, Chairman of the Radical State Committee, telegraphed from Portland last week to the Radical papers that an accurate return had been mace and that they would " sweep " the State by not less than twenty-one thousand majority. In this city the Radi cals freely offered to bet on 00,000 majority, and many went as high as 25,000. The re sult shows we have gained 3000 on the Rad. ical majority of 1860, and that the majority is about one-half given to Lincoln in 1804, and this done by the Democracy on the heaviest vote ever polled. Such results are truly cheering and should animate every Pennsylvania Democrat to renewed exer tions. The same ratio of gain in your State would give us 30,000 majority. As there aro many soldiers In Lancaster county who were attached to the old Third corps, doubtless they will remember the 17th Maine regiment. Col. Charles B. Merrill, for a long time its commanding officer, and Col. E. B. Houghton, its adju tant and promoted to Brigade Inspector on the staff of Gen'l liohey Ward, did good service for the Democratic cause. They were valingt soldiers in battle as all well remember, and I have observed in the Maine papers that during the past campaign they were active and untiring. • \VASIIINOTON, D. C., Sept. 2.5, IE4B The announcement that General Richard Coulter (who was well known throughout the army of the Potomac as "Fighting Dick ") had taken the stump in Pennsyl vania for Seymour and Blair has consider ably staggered the Radicals. He is well known in this city. His military escutcheon Is without a blemish. He was amongst the first that raised volunteers in 1861, and In the three-months service commanded the eleventh regiment of Pennsylvania volun teers. When the three years volunteers were authorized to be raised, his regiment re-enlisted, and as a compliment to the man and officer the regiment was one of the two, three months organizations that wore al lowed to retain their original number. His regiment also re-enlisted in 1864 under the veteran re-organization. General Coulter earned his Star by services in the field. The Government Radical office-holders in this city who hail from your county, were much " put out" when they heard of the withdrawal of Mr. Ellwood Griest and the nomination of Mr. Dickey to fill the late Mr. Stevens' vacancy. They considered the former the "coming man" and were loud in his praises, and with one or two exceptions spoke very sneeringly of Mr. Dickey. Not one out of ten of the Lancaster county appointments here were soldiers, and as Mr. Dickey, if he is elected, will have some say in the matter, we respect fully invite his attention to it. Let him commence with the appointments about the Capitol. "RED PATCH." Terrible Danger OD the lindsoo River Railroad—A Drunk - en Man Driving a Locomotivent Full Speed. We learn from an engineer on the Hudson River Railroad, the particulars of one of the most exciting scenes probably that ever oc curred on the line of that road. On Satur day last the locomotive Arctic was standing on the track at Ponghkeepsie, awaiting the arrival of the 9.45 A. M. train from this city, which it was to conduct to New York. The fireman of the engine was a recent em ployee of the road, andjumping off the loco motive, repaired to a neighboring saloon, where he became not drunk, but utterly wild and ungovernable with liquor. The time for the arrival of the train was fast approaching, and the engineer, be coming alarmed at the absence of his fire• man, got off the engine to look for him. During his absence the fireman returned, and, influenced by the devil, mounted the engine, and with one desperate clutch, opened the throttle which was to set the pondetous machinery in motion. Away the Arctic sped with the speed of the whirlwind. For a few minutes all was consternation and excitement among the lookers-on. In a moment the engine with Its maniac driver was out of sight, bound ing along over the track at a rate utterly fearful to contemplate, and suggesting moat terrible disasters to such unlucky trains as might bo preceding it on the track. What to do; how to stop [hewed career of the engine, were the questions which pre sented themselves for solution to the minds of the railroad officials at Poughkeepsie. There was but one recourse, and that was to telegraph to the station-master at Now Hamburg to throw open tho switch at that point and run the flying locomotive off the track. But before the agent at that place could execute the order, the Arctic came tearing along at its greatest 'speed, passed the sta tion in safety, and was flying on its course like a demon of destruction. Orders were sent ahead for the track to be torn up, as It was determined that if possible no one should be harmed by the freaks of the mad man but himself, neither his life nor the dram) of the engine being considered of the least account when the lives of so many others were depending on the result. Fortunately the . engine was stopped by causes within itself, rather than by any of the measures suggested for its overthrow and destruction. The engineer at Pough keepsie, when he left the engine to look for his absent fireman, bad both pumps atwork tilling the boiler with water. The fireman either did not know howto shut off the flow of cold water or had overlook ed in his frenzy and excitement the fact that tbe pumps were at work, and neglected to shut them off, and atter running about a dozen miles the pres sure of water upon the boiler was so great as to cause an overflow, the fires went down,. steam was exhausted, and the engine stop ped for the want of necessary driving pow er. The fireman then took the cushions from the engineer's seat t laid them down in the the gutter alongside the track, and coolly deposited himself upon them for a com fortable snooze, unmindful of the terrible excitement and apprehensions of disasters he had caused along the ILne of the road. The engine was subsequently brought back to Poughkeepsie, none the worse for Its mad journey, and the faithless fireman was-dis charged from the employ of the company.— Troy (N. Y.) Times, Sept. 23. E xm ang Unauthorized Fees. It has transpired that a number of asses som of Internal revenue have been charg-' log tobacco manufacturers a fee of /15 for approving the bonds they aro required to render underthe revenue law. One of these tobacco dealers in Philadelphia, not feeling entirely satisfied in regard to the right of assessors to make such a charge, applied for information to the member of Congress representing his district, who was not aware of any such provision in the law referred to, but promised to ascertain the truth of the matter. He accordingly called upon the commisakmer of internal revenue, who in formed him that any assessor who charged a fee for approving the bonds did so with out authority of law. The defence made by certain assessors Is that the fee taken for this pturoose is intended to be used In sup porting the political campaign.— Washing ton Cor. Y, Herald. A New Reciprocity Treaty. The Congress at its last session authorized the Secretary of State to open negotiations for a new treaty of reciprocity with Canada. The repeal of the former treaty was a grave mistake, and all parties are now anxious for its restore t ion. Mr. Seward has prompt.. ly acted upon the resolution or Congress, and it is understood that negotiationa are now in progress apd fqr adyancod. The New York Bulletin says: All parties have lingered Irom the repeal, and the only advantages that have accrued were rea by the smugglers on the fron tier. It as not been possible either for the American or Canadian governments to atop this illegal traffio. It has inoreased to im mense proportions, But smuggling is a losing game in the end, and there can be no doubt that the majority of businessmen on both sides of the frontier have been for some time heartily sick of. their restriotiona on commerce.

The Wirral', Case WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—The Criminal Court having yesterday sustained the de murrer of the prosecution to the special plea of the defense. Mr. Merrick to-day set up In the bar of judgment the act of 1799, the statute of lint. fiation,claiming that the indictment against Surratt was not found within two years from the trial of the Commission of the al leged offense, and hence, the prisoner was entitled to a final discharge. After argument on both sides, Judge Wylie said the indictment contained live several counts, charging that the offense was committed on the 6th day of March, 1865, and on other days intervening between that time and the 15th day of April of the same year. The defendent entered a plea of not guilty generally, some day in Juno last, and that plea remained on record until the meeting of this Court at its ad journed term several days ago, when he asked and obtained permission to withdraw the plea of not gullty,and filed especial plea to enable him to plead the benefit 01 the proclamation of pardon and amnesty. The Court considering that he never before had an opportunity to plead pardon under that proclamation, gave Lim permission to withdraw the plea of not guilty, and the next day to plead a special plea that the amnesty proclamation was ap plicable to his case, the government through its representative demurred to this plea. The demurrer is a general demurrer for defects in the plea, and not for informal fry. For two days there was nn argument on the Issue, and yesterday the court inti mated its opinion on that question. That intimation was that the court would sustain the demurrer, the plea being bad and the proclamation not applicable.to the effort:it) charged. This morning the counsel for the defence Intimated that there was still another ground which the court should take into consideration In support of the plea. That was that the offenses charged in the indictment was committed more than two years before the indictment was found ' • the net of Congress approved April 30th, 1790, provides as follows : No person or persons shall be prosecuted, tried, or punished for treason or other capi tal offense, wilful murder or forgery, ex cept artless, the Indictment for the same shall bo found by a grand jury within three years next, after the treason or capital of fence aforesaid shall be done or committed, nor shall any person be prosecuted, held, or punished for any offonsonot capital, nor for any fineor forfeitureunderany penalstatute, unless the indictment or information for the same shall be found or instituted within two years from the time of committing the offense or incurring the fine or forielture aforesaid Provided, That nothing therein contained shall extend to any person or persons fleeing from justice. Judge Wylie discharged John It Surma to-day, under the statute of limitation, the indictment not having been found within two years after, the offense was alleged to have been committed. District Attorney Carrington has pre pared a brief in support of the appeal taken by the counsel of the government from the decision of Judge Wylie, to the Surratt case. It is submitted that the court in discharging Sqrratt erred In its ruling. First, becaqse the statute of limitation as a defense to the alleged crime was not and could not have been before the court on the pleadings as they then stood, and be cause the prosecution of the offense was not barred by the statute of limitation.— The most serious objection to the ruling of the court Is found in the very statute of limitation, which is quoted as authority for the discharge of th 3 accused, that the statute does does not extend to any person or persons fleeing from justice. It Is certain that the United States should have had an opportunity of knowing that the accused was excepted from the operation of the statute because he was a person fleeing from justice. The district attorney will submit a new indictment to the grand jury.
