We speak only sober and solemn truth when we say the issues . to be de cided at the ballot borin Pennsylvania on next Tuesday, are the !Most linpor • tent ever presented to the American peOple. The vidlations of law by tini King of England, which led our fathers to publish to the world the Declaration of Independence, and to risk "their lives, their . fortunes and their sacred honor" in the terrible struggle of the revolution, were insignificant in com parison with the usurpations and the outrages of which the Radical leaders in Congress have been &ally. The op- pressions which led our revolutionary ancestors to revolt were trifling, in deed, when compared to those under which this oppressed people are now struggling. The men who led in the Revolution might have lost from their pockets the petty sum which the tax on tea and stamp duties would have taken from them without ever missing it. They went to war, not to escape griev ous oppression, for really there was no such thing, but to maintain certain great principles. Could the statesmen and warriors,who gained us our liberties and framed our constitutional form of republican government, revisit the earth to-day, they would be found urging the people, with tones of resistless eloquence, to hurl from power the infamous usurp era who are trampling the Constitution under foot, and sapping the very foup dations of free governments which were cemented by their patriotic blood. The outrages committed by the Rad ical leaders are infinitely greater in the magnitude of their enormity than the acts which led to the Revolution. They are more clearly violative of the fun damental law of the land, and far more dangerous to popular liberty. The Rad ical Congress has usurped the powers belonging to the other co-ordinate branches of the Government. The President has been shorn of his con.' stitutional prerogative until he is utter ly powerless to discharge any of the proper functions of his high office. All power, both Legislative and Executive, has been drawn together and concen trated in the irresponsible Congressional Oligarchy which has been set up. The Supreme Court has been deprived of the jurisdiction conferred upon it by the founders of our government, and its Judges sit with muzzled lips in the high est Court of Justice. The form of free government is left, but its spirit has departed. The whole land is under the domination of a despotism as absolute as that of Russia, and more to be feared, because it is the despotism of a body of fanatics and corrupt men who are to a great extent Irresponsible. The tyranny of a multitude is more to be dreaded than that of a single man. The dagger of a Brutus freed Rome from the designs of Cesar, but our tyrants have as many heads as there are Radical members in Congress. We can only rescue the nation from the perils which beset it by the peaceful agency of the ballot box, or by a bloody revolution. The people cannot be ignorant of the course which the Radicals have pur sued. Their bold misdeeds are known and read of all men. To maintain their party supremacy they have repeatedly and recklessly violated the Constitution of the United States, the only basis and pledge of Republican freedom. They have deliberately and purpose ly prevented a restoration of the Union. They have abrogated State Govern ments In ten States, and set up military despots to rule over them. They denied the right of suffrage to white men who refused to sustain the domination of the negro. They have debased suffrage by con- ferrhig it upon the most ignorant and degraded negroes. They have abolished Courts of Justice, ' and set up military commissions in their stead. They have taken away from the peo ple the right of trial by Jury. They have (leprived the people of the sacred right of the writ of habeas cor pus They have violated the right of free speech, and silenced a free press. They have given to negroes the right to hold allies In the District of Colum bia, by act of Congress. To build up negro domination In the South, us an agency for perpetuating their power, they have kept up a vast standing army In that section at the ex pense of the tax-payers of the North. To control these negro votes they maintain the costly Freedmen's Bureau, by taxes wrung from white working men who find it difficult to earn a bare subsistence. They have run riot in extravagance to such nn extent as to absorb all the vast 8111111 , 1 raised by taxation in further ing their partisan schemes. They have increased the expenditures of the National and State governments beyond all precedent. They have gravely proposed laws giving negroes the right to vote and hold ollice in all the States by Congressiotl enactment. These, and other enormities they have deliberately and wilfully committed, and for these misdeeds of a Radical Con gress the Republican party is to be tried before the people of Pennsylvania on next Tuesday. What will the verdict be? Can any man doubt? To suppose that the masses of this State could be influ enced by mere passion and prejudice to vote for, the continuance of such crimes against liberty, would be to concede that they are unlit for self-government. We have no fear of the result. Every indication points to a glorious Demo cratic victory. All that is necessary to secure it is a full poll of our entire vote. Let every Democrat remember that he must do his full share in that all important work. I role for the Radical ,',late Ticket on Tuesday, is a vole to inaugurate a war of races in the South, ' Let us haLT peace.' Some:on Steel Pens The House of Representatives used up at the last session two hundred and elxly•seveit thousand four hundred and sixteen steel pens. Heavens, what a consumption! What was done with them all? We should know, if there had been any gold or sliver about them. But being only sicci, we doubt if Butler would steal them unless he could make something handsome by selling them again. We rather think that he would not find that kind of thing equal to his views.

Can Be Be Trusted? The terrible havoc which we have , causad among the Radicals by publish ing the fall exposition which we have made of the rascality and. thievishness of Dickey'S Wide Awakes in 1860, and the intense disgust with which aknowl edge of the conduct of their leaders, has inspired the Republican-rank and file, could in no way be more sharply or I clearly evidenced than by the "sickness I unto death" which has afflicted the Radical leaders sincewe have laid these facts before the people. For eight years they "laughed and grew fat," chuckling over the clevermanner in which *they had "done" our honest storekeepers, and treated with supreme scorn the messengers who came to them from their deluded victims, begging them to pay their bills or to interest themselves to see that they were paid. But no ; they denied their responsibility ; their Presi dent, who is a lawyer whose chief de light it is to push to the wall and black guard with lowest phrase the poor man whom he may have been employed to defame, and whose income has for its multi foundation, the foulness of his tongue ; even this virtuous declaim er, when he was called upon to maintain the credit of his association found that his honesty was not equal to the strain which was put upon it, and he stirred neither hand nor foot to preserve himself and his as sociation from being branded as cheats and swindlers. And now he asks his fellow citizens to send him to Congress. We want honest men in Congress ; but can we trust him? Are we certain that he will not imitate the bad example which has been set him by his pfecie cessor Thaddeus Stevens whose execu tor he is, and whose estate when he died was estimated at a valuation of nearly two hundred thousand dollars, all of which he was currently believed to have made In the last four years of his life. Col. Dickey may possibly be able to withstand the temptations which will environ him at Washington, but we can not be sure of this, for he has once fallen from grace, and an association of which be was chief, has shamefully " diddled " our fellow citizens out of their bard earned dues. Vote then, reader, for Swarr for Congress, whom if you elect, you have foryour repre sentave a perfectly honestman who has never "bilked" a bill or shunned a creditor.

The Republicans are in great fer ment over the exposure of their Wide- Awake rascality in 1860, but more es pecially are they enraged at our proposition, that they should pay the bills of 1860 out of their campaign fund of this year. Their Penny Trumpet in South Queen street is especially cross at this, as it fears there would not be enough left to pay it the blackmail which it has bargained for In this cam• paign. It kindly "stored away " a press for Mr. Stevens a few years ago; the Inquirci says it "stored away " a handsome sum of money on the Speaker question last winter; it was perfectly ready to " store away " a few dollars for a Democratic candidate for District At torney against Brubaker this fall ; and as its kindliness in "storing away " all it can get its fingers ou of other peo ple's effects is perfectly well known kt, would be a pity If it got cheated in all the attempts which it has cheerfully made in this campaign to "store away" something for somebody.

But,• however, opinions may varyfin this subject, there can be no question as to hishaving been most handsomely rewarded for all that he has done. He has been presented with elegant houses in Washington, Philadelphia and elsewhere ; with fur niture, :with libraries and with govern ment bonds; and he receives from the taxpayers every year of his life, the very handsome salary of over eighteen thou sand dollars. The New York Democrat. says that " the figures iu the following tabular statement are derived from an official source, and are reliable. By reference to page 46 of the "Paymaster's Manual, or Collection of Rules for the information and Guidance of the Pay Department of the U. 8. Army," published Juno 30th, 1867, by Col. J. H. Eaton; under the direction of the Paymaster General; Grant's full pay and allowances will be found as follows Pay proper per month Eighty rations per day, at 30 cents per ration, for 20 days Four servants; at Ste per month Clothing for four servants, at 00.51.1 per mouth Rations for lour servants, at 50 cents per day Co CO In lien of forage, per month, accenting to old law et May, 1708, he is allowed 50 RI By act of July 25, 18611, he is allowed for fuel and quarters, each month Fall pay for a 30-day month 81,006 00 During a month of 31 days, the addi tional rations for one day Will In crease IL to $1,021 Di From the foregoing figures, which are accurate and may be relied upon, his pay for one year amounts to the following enor mous sum: Seven 31-day months, at 81,321 20 41 11,348 40 Four 30-day months, at 81.5116 to 5,384 00 One 28.41ay month, at 81,545 to 1,545 Gross pay for one year Deduct 5 per cent. income tax on ex cess of $l,OOO NeL per anuum In addition to this princely salary he is allowed the enormous number of fifty horses, forage to be furnished in kind. This extravagant salary, fixed by a Rad ical Congress, comes from the pockets of the taxpayers, and when they are sweating and toiling in the field and the workshop, lie is reveling in all the luxuries and coin forts of royal grandeur." He Is receiving a salary nearly equal in amount to thatof the President of the United States, and in reality it is much greater; for he is not compelled tokeep up au expensive establishment nor be at the expense of an extended hospitality. He has an easy berth, au exalted posi tion with little to do; he is an autocrat over his subordinates and entirely free from all annoyance from office•seekers. Why then, should his friends who he- Ileve that he proved himself a great General, desire to remove him from a position fpr which they deem him so well qualified, and elect him to fill one for which he has shown no capacity and which would seem so much less desira ble? Is it not evident that the true friends of General Grant should vote to leave him where he Is? And why should General Grant him self be so anxious to exchange the com• fortaUle position which he enjoys for life, for a four years' term of the Presi dency? We believe it to be, because he does not expect to give up his hold upon the Chief Magistracy in case he should be elected at the end of his fouryears' term. He expects by the aid of the Radical , Congress and the army to make himself dictator for life over the destinies of this nation, and to re-enact here the part which has been successfully assumed by the Napoleons In France, and often heretofore in the history of the world. With his election, the country will pass under the control of a military despot ism, and the days of the Republic will be numbered. The plan is well laid, but the people will be blind, indeed, if they allow the transparent scheme to ho successfully accomplished ; and they will not. Grant will be allowed by them to retain his present position, which he has not in obedience to the manifest propriety of the occasion, offered to re sign ; thus manifesting his own appre hension that the people will nip in the bud his aspirations for the office for which be is a candidate before them.

The ruth About too Public Debt. • Alexander Delmar, Director of :the.United States Stati!de4')3Brelif took 'the proper method' ofsMag a tine exhibit of the actual amount of the public debt. The statement publlahed by him is drawn from the books Of thrr Treasury Department, and it establish es incontrovertibly the following facts: Ist. That the public debt reached its high est pOlnt on August 31, 1865, when it stood at V 2,757,689571. i 3d. That t was reduced, between that period and May 31,1867, to 152,8000213,m7, - showing a decrease of over M7,0,30,000.' • i 3d. That since the Ist of May last the debt has been increased by upwards of $35,- 000,000. 4th. That adding to the latter the' estlma ted deficiency of *154,000,000 and 'the 'cur rent accretions, the debt will. be found, on June 30,1869, nearly, if not quite, as great as It was on August 31, 1865, when It stood at itshighest point. Butthe the table proves much more than this. We know, from Mr. Delmar's pre vious tatement, that the receipts of the Treasury for the past three years haveaver egad 0500,000,000 a year. The table we are analyzing now shows that not only have these five hundred millions of 4rollarii a year been insufficient to keep down the princi pal of the debt, but that between March 31, 1865, and August 31, 1868, it has increased, on the average, at the rate of $50,000,000. If we add to this the estimated deficiency for the present fiscal year of $154,000,000, the average annual increase of the debt has been at the rate of over one hundred millions of dollars. Again, when the debt stood at its highest polut, in August, 1865, the annual amount of interest payable In gold was a pouf sixty four millions and a-half, and the currency interest about seventy-three millions and a-half. On the 31st of August last when the reported debt was two hundred and fifty millions less than in August, 1865, the amount bearing gold intest was one hu,n dred and twenty-three and a-half millions, and in currency less than four and a-half millions. By reducing the interest payable at these two periods to the common stand ard of currency—computing the value of the latter by the average monthly rate of gold as given in the table—we obtain the following result The annual interst payable in gold on August 31st, 1865, was $64,500,590, which, reduced to currency, at the average rate of gold for the month, viz: 143, makes the gold interest, at that date, in currency $93,233,313 Add annual interest, payable in currency 73,531,033 Total interest on the public debt on August 31st, 1665, when re• duced to currency $166,666,681 On the 81st of August, 1868, the interest payable in gold was $123,573,621„ which, reduced to currency at the average rate of gold for the month, viz: 146, makes the gold interest at that date in currency 150,417,278 Annual interest at the same date payable in currency Total interest on the public debt when reduced to currency 3184,792,268 RECAPITULATION. Interest on the public debt in cur rency on Aug. 31,1868 181,792268 Interest on the same debt in cur rency on August 31st, 1863, when the debt was two hundred and fifty millions greater than on August 31st, 1868 166,866,881 So that last August, when the debt had been reduced two hundred and fifty millions of dollars, we were actually paying in cur rency interest nearly eighteen millions of dollars more annually than we paid in August, 1665, when the debt reached its maximum. ByJurienextthedebtthreateus to attain the magnitude of August, 1865, and the increase of interest will, of course, be in the same proportion. Let every taxpayer set down and calmly consider the above startling facts; and let each oneremember, when he goes to vote next Tuesday, that a vote for the Radical State ticket is a vote to encourage a continuance of the extravagance and corruption which must inevitably end in national bank ruptcy unless it be speedily checked.— The only hope of reform is in a change of administration.

A vote for the Radical Mate Ticket on Tuesday, will encourage the corruption and extravagance which prevails in our State Government. Impending National Bankruptcy—Letter From lion. Robert J. Walker. We would commend to the attention of all capitalists and Bondholders the following extracts from a letter of that distinguished financier, Hon. Robert T. Walker. He used to be considered high authority in the Republican party. He writes to a friend in Philadelphia as follows : "You ask rue if it Is a fact that the an nual expenditures of the government have boon increased, as therein stated, overforty six millions of dollars ($4(1,056,5A) by as augmentation to that extent of the yearly interest in currency of the public debt since 30th April, 1005? I answer that it is an in disputable fact; and I will add that from a careful consideration of the condition of the treasury, it Is clear that this annual interest will go on increasing. It is possible that there may boa small reduction of the pub lic debt last month, but this reduction, if made, will be in debts bearing mainly no interest, or in war claims withheld whilst the debt bearing coin interest will be aug mented. That there is an increased yearly expenditure exceeding forty-six millions of dollars since April 30, 1805, to meet the augmented interest as currency of the pub lic debt is certain. "This is the true test of our financial con dition, and to me it seems certain that noth ing but a total • change of policy will save us from national bankruptcy. This change of policy must be based upon a vast de crease of our annual expenditures. As re commended in my financial letter of No vember last,wo must abolish the freedmen's bureau : we must recall the artny from the South and reduce it to a moderate peace establishment; we mustterminate there the Joint rule of the negro and the bayonet, and slavery and secession having been forever abandoned, permit the Southern States, in obedience to the federal constitution, to govern themselves as before the rebellion. "The fact of this vast increase of the an nual interest of the public debt is note dis puted question—it rests on transeriptsfrom the books of the treasury, and cannot be denied. This item cf expendituroß for the increased annual interest of the public debt is nearly equal to double the entire yearly expenditures' of Mr. Polk's administration before the Mexican war, and nearly to its subsequent annual expenditures, including the war and heavy payments for the prin. cipal and interest of the public debt. "But even if we take the 30th of Novem ber last, the date of the last annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury, we find the increased annual interest In currency of the public debt $26,579,329 from the 30th of November last, 1867, to the 31st of August, 1865, being an augmentation at the rate of three millions of dollars a month, or thirty six millions of dollars a year. "At this rate of increased annual expen diture, for interest only, on the 30th of No vember, 1369, a little overa year, this single item of yearly disbursements would reach ' seventy-two millions of dollars. It is clear, then, that the radical policy leads rapidly and certainly to national bankruptcy, and that nothing can save us but a change of men and measures." Let every Bondholder take heed to these wise utterances.

This gives us assur ance doubly sure that the good old State will cast her electoral vote for Seymour and Blair by a larger vote than that of April last. Our majority in November cannot vary much from 4,000. HARTFORD, Oct. 7.—The Associated Press, always working to serve Radical interests, telegraphed all over the country, last night, that the Radicals had carried eighty-three towns out of the one hundred and sixty-two, while the Democrats had carried but fifty nine. The agent evidently obtained his figures from some Radical newspaper office, where the returns were cooked up to suit Radical tastes. The true returns aro almost the reverse of the Radical story: The Demo crats have carried, so far as heard from, eighty-four towns, and the Radicals but sixty-eight. T. ¢17,925,347 The Ecilore of the South—A Specimen Exhibition Tho scenes at the recent radical mass meeting in Raleigh, N. C., show in a plain and disgustingly truthful manner what manner of men the new rulers of the South are. - Four or five thousand blacks were present, and they abstained from acts of violence, owing, perhaps, to the fact that the whites kept within doors, They made day and night hideous with oaths and drunken yells as they swarmed about the streets. At the Capitol, a mass of yelling, cursing negroes filled the beautiful grounds and swarmed into the various rooms and offices of the building, while dancing, speaking, shouting and grotesque and Asbantee performance ran riot. Up stairs, an antiquated darkey was making a "stump I speech," standing in the chair of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, while below, another, dressed in a garb of motley rags, was preaching a sermon to the groat edification of the surrounding audi ence, who shouted and groaned alternately as the performance progressed. As the hour waxed late, these poor creatures die posed themselves for sleep in every part of thecapltol. The Senate Chamber was filled with negro women lying on the floor or re clining in chairs—a negro with a bludgeon acting as sentinel at the door, to keep off the men—while the steps leading from the first, floor, and the first floor itself, were literally filled with recumbent negroes, packed like sardines. Still later in tht night, after the rain set in, every porch and sheltered corner in the city might have been seen filled with negro men and women huddled together in heaps asleep, to wake the next morning, cold, shivering and hun gry, to make their way on foot, in the mud, homewards. A vote for the .Radical State Ticket on Tuesday, is a vote for a Standing Army at an expense of 5150,000,000 a year, to prop up Negro Rule in ten States, I=2 The Now York and Erie and the New York Central Railroads are in sharp oppo sition, and have commenced the suicidal policy of reducing freight charges to less thou the actual cost of handling the goods. It Is stated that the Brio takes all classes of freight to and from New York and Chicago, by rail the entire distance, fur 40 cents per 100 lbs., or $8 per ton, whereas the previous rate for first-class freight was $l.BB, for sec ond $1,60, for third $1.27, and for fourth 82 cents. The reduction in freights on the New York Central is as groat, and the Pennsylvania Central has heen in like man ner compelled to reduce its tariff charges westward, and have given notice to Phila delphia shippers that it will always carry freights westward at lower rates than the New York lines will. The fight is a lively one, and the Pennsylvania Company will be sure to protect the rights and interests of Philadelphia in it. Financially crippled as the Now York companies are, they are illy prepnred for such a war as they have en tered up, and cannot long continue it. The annual report of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company published in February, 1867, shows that the Company had paid 46 per cent. in dividends over and above 0 per cent. In that same year it paid 11 per cent. dividend, and for the lirstsix months of the current year has paid 8 per cent. The net earnings of the Company are thus far this year nearly a million of dollars in excess of those of last year to the same date, and are such as to insure a 5 per cent, dividend next month, making 13 per oent. for 1868, and an excess in dividends over 0 per cent. of 58 per cent. in twenty-one years, The various se curities held by the Company, as appears by the report of an examining committee of the shareholders, dated April 29, 1807, pay au annual Income of about lOper cent., and thus add to the current business revenues of the Company. In addition to these facts the sinking.fund is estimated at five millions of dollars, and the tot:mg° of the road is steadily on the increase, amounting for the first seven months of the year to August 1 to 2,315,394 tone, against 2,005,117 tone in same time last year—showing an increase of 310,277 tons. The shares of the New York Central Railroad, paying but 6@7 per cent. dividends, sell at about 129, while the Penn sylvania, which pays much better, sells at 114 per cent —leaving a margin for a rise of 15 per cent. to make the prices of the two stocks equal. .4 vote for the Radical State Ticket on Tuesday, is a vote to encourage such thefts as that perpetrated, with the con sent of General Hartranit, by Andy Armstrong in the case of Illyus. A. Tinos Duel on Horseback. The Corpus Christi Advertiser has from a correspondent these particulars of a bloody and fatal affray which took place on the west side of the river, above Oakville, ore' the 22d ult., between Mr. Henderson Wil llama and Hie Brown, about some beeves that were turned into a herd against the wish of Mr. Williams. The latter claimed authority over said beeves, as partly his own and partly those for which he hold agencies. Some angry words occurred at first which culminated in the drawing of weapons, which were heavy dragoon six-shooters. Both parties being mounted, at each suc cessive shot they charged up closer to their dreadful work. The tiring was retold, and the combatants became enveloped in the smoke of their weapons, which lapped to gether on the last round. Mr. Brown's firing was wild owing, no doubt, to the fact that ho received a mortal center shot from Williams' first fire although he sat on his horse firmly, until shot the third time through the body, which, entering the heart, he fell a corpse on the instant. Williams was unhurt, hut his horse was shot In the bead, and was fractious and unruly during the fight. Both parties had numbers of well armed friends on the ground, but no assistance or interference was offered, and the issue was fairly and squarely test ed. Both men were undoubtedly bravo to the last inch, such as would do honor td any cause, right or wrong. Bnt it Is a sad, very sad thing, Indeed, that men of forty years of age must draw their weapons to decide quektlons of property. His Eloquent and Conant • Address at 'Pittsburg, Pa., an thelifith On the evening of the '2Bth nil., an im- Meuse Democratic, meeting: was held in front of the St. Cluirles - Hcatd, Pittsburg. Not less than twenty thousand poirsons were present. General Frank P. Blair, Jr., ad dressed the audience at considerable length, and was frequently interrupted with shouts of approbation. He said: FELLow-Crrunsts—lt is impossible to e xaggerate the importanceof the issues pending this oontest. The multitudes that assemble to Mambo public-speeches attest the thorough appreciation which the people have 'of the Importance and vital; conse *quences of this election. I shall net, there fore, feel myself at liberty to make any pre lim airy remarks before coining to the dis cussion of those questions on which the real interest is centred., ~ I am sure no per ennsiderations with regard to the merits of any of thecandidates can have any influence with the people in making up their decision, as compared with the prinel pies that are involved. The real question is, bow shall we best restore peace, confi dence, and prosperity to the country after this long and. exhaustive struggle, and which policy is best calculated to promote this end? The people will decide with their unerring judgment in favor of the policy which commends itself to their good and discriminating senses, without regard to the popularity of the candidates put for ward to represent the different policies pro posed. I believe that proscription, persecu tion, disfranchisement, or arbitrary despot ism has never in the history of the world produced peace. It has been tried in the countries of the old world, it has been tried since the dawn of history, and if it has pro (bleed peace it never produces prosperity. After alluding to the grievances of Ireland, the speaker proceeded In forcible language to depict the condition of the Southern peo ple, contending that a new Ireland was being made in this country by the tyrannical oppression of the Radical party. He characterized the measures of Congress as extravagant at the expense of the toiling millions of the country. He drew a lengthened comparison between the policy of the Republican and Democratic parties, denouncing the former as hostile to the interests of the country, and advocating the latter as entirely beneficial. He asked, was the wanton extravagance on the part of the Government calculated to restore the prosperity of the nation, already burdened with an enormous public debt, the interest of which amounted to infinitely more than was necssary to maintain the Government anterior to the war? The debt contracted for the maintenance of the Union should be paid to the last dollar ; but in the manner of its payment there was a wide difference in the sentiment between the two great parties of the country. The policy advocated by the Democratic party in this respect was the payment of the debt according to the agree ment made at the time the debt was con tracted—payment of the debt In the same kind of money which was advanced to the Government, the payment of the debt in the seine kind of money In which the soldiers wore-paid; payment of the debt in which wo pay all our other debts; payment of the debt in the same currency which the pen sions were paid to the disabled soldiers, the widows and the orphans of those who gave their lives for this country. The bondhold er had no higher claim upon this Govern ment than those men who saved the coun try. He had no more sacred demand than the widows and orphans of the fallen sol diers. (Cheers.) The bondholder loaned to the'Goeernment greenbacks not worth at tho time one-half of their va ue now, and the contract was to pay him in the same money, the lawful money of the Govern ment. If the Radical policy was to main tain in this country its standing armies, its Freedmen's Bureau, and other wasteful ex travagances, together with the NEB neces sazy to pay the interest upon thelft bt, the result would be exactly what the result has been since the close of the war. Instead of a dimunition, each year will add to it. Such policy, he continued, would eventu ate in the bankruptcy of the country and entire repudiation of the debt. Now, on the other hand, the Democratic policy pro posed to reduce the national debt, to dis pense with all unnecessary institutions, and enable the country to pay off a portion of its debt each year. By the saving thus made, credit and confidence will be re stored, the lawful currency to the equilib rium of gold established, and thus saved, the honor of the country protected, enable the nation to pay its debt, relieve the peo ple of taxation, and restore the country to prosperity, bringing with it the blessings of peace and fraternal feeling. (Cheers.) Gen. Blair Bald he had been denounced by his opponents as a man willing to renew the rebellion, as a revolutionist, and he would, therefore, be pardoned, he hoped, if after having been defamed in their midst, he should say something in defence of the position he had heretofore taken, and which had been made the groundwork of such a serious charge. The occasion which had given rise to the outcry and clamor against him, and been taken up by all graces cf orators belonging to the Radical party, dis tinguished Senators, Governors, ex-Gov ernors, and ox-Secretaries of War, was a letter addressed by him prior to tile meet ing ofthe Democratic Convention--(cheers)•- declaring that in his Judgment the Recon struction acts passed by Congress were un constitutional, null and void; that these acts had been so decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, a court organized under the Constitution to pass upon the constitutionality of all acts of Congress, and that the President, who was sworn to main tain and support the Constitution, could not, without violating the oath, permit these acts in palpable violation of the Constitu tion to be executed. The speaker then minutely examined the Reconstruction acts, which he firmly submitted wore directly antagonistic and made in open defiance of the Constitution. He con tended that the Reconstruction acts had supplanted civil government in ton States of the Union, and substituted military des potism in its place; thatthey had abolished the right of trial by jury, the writ of hatieas corpus, which, by the laws of the Constitu ton, should never be suspended except in times of domestic insurrection, though at present profound peace prevailed; that through the Reconstruction acts a bill of attainder and cx post facto law had been passed against whole States and commu nities, depriving them of their most sacred rlghts!of citizenship ; that Its Reconstruction acts took from the President all prerogative as commander and general of the itrmy, and placed In his stead the equal power of the President in the hands of the Gen'lof our armies, the candidate designated by the Rad icals for the Presidency, who stands with the whole'army at his back, and his bayonets at the throat ofeight millions of white people in the South pinning them to the earth in order to compel them to support him and submit to the domination of an alien and semi-bar barous race of blacks. The same fragment of a Congress guilty of these unconstitu tional acts has invaded the sacred precincts of the court ofjustice and overawed its de cisions. Am In revolutionist' because I ad vocate the restoration of rights provided by the Constitution ? And were those usurping men who had degraded it, were they guilty of revolution? I bold my accusers up be fore the nation as revolutionists, as malefac tors that have trodden under foot the Con stitution which they bad sworn to main tain, and have laid black perjury to their souls. (Cheered Inquiring the motives that suggested certain measures towards the Southern people, General Blair inferred that it was for the purpose of familiarizing the Northern people to acts of tyranny. It was the military instincts of the candidate of the Radical party, the General of the army, and the other leading officers which taught them that theirs was the party of despotism, and which had brought them to its support; because If a Government, an arbitrary and despotic Government, resting upon force, is to be established in this country, the ' great chiefs of the army, who wield all power upon which the Government stands, will necessarily be :le men of the greatest importance In the u 'itry. Gen. Grant, 1 against whom I hay nt one syllable to utter, to whom I cm grit war for the services he has rendered the col ok s ‘ from whose , laurels I would not plue&Alif le leaf if it were in my power to do so, ha n.iny y.adg ment, however, allowed himself to be se duced by his ambition. I know—and I have a right to speak of his pbblie acts since he is a public man, asking tho favor of the people of this country—l know, and the country knows, that be does not approve of the Radical programme; that he disapproves of it and that he gave his cordial support to Mr. Johnson at the beginning of his ad ministration, and testified before the Con gressional mmittee upon Ms oath that the President's measures were identically those of Mr. Lincoln. When the North Carolina proclamation, the first paper in which Mr. Johntion disclosed his policy was written by E. M. Stanton, under the Instructions of President Lincoln's cabinet, and approved by every member of it, and .when General Grant himself cordially assented to it, why has he changed? What does he now go back upon hie own report, which he made to President Johnson after having visited the Southern States subsequent to the war, in which he declared that the people of the South accepted the situation in sincerity and good faith, and that he hoped soon to see the representatives and the States meet in the Senate of the United Stated? Why does he now accept a differ ent Obey from that which he promised to General Lee In his parole? It Is not that General Grant has any affinity with the negro, because 1 ones knew him when he was a pro-slavery Democrat. It is not that he has any hatred for the soldiers or the Imo ple of the South, because he asked and oh tainedamnesty for those who wore In arms against the Government ; but it is because his military instincts teach him that the party which have put him forward is In flavor of an absolute and despotic Govern ment, and lie expects to bo made the per manent ruler of this country. In my opinion, ho would not exchange the office Ile now holds to be constitutional President of the United States for four or eight years, and then retire from public) 11th still a young man. Ho would prefer his present position. It is better suited to his tastes and military education, and one which will last during his lift. But he has been tempted by that last Infirmity of great minds—ambition—and is willing to see the liberties of his country overthrown If by doing so ho can attain for himself the groat prize of permanent and absolute power during his life. Under snob clreumstancea I do not think the people of this country will throw away their Startles on such a man.

It disclosed the hypocrisy and cant of that party of pretended moral Ideas. Such a course would eventuate in negro supremacy in the South. Congress had given three mil lions of blacks in the South twenty Senators in the United States Senate and fifty mem bers in the House of Representatives while it required four millions of whites in the State of New York to send two Senators to the United States Senate, and three millions of white people in the State of Pennsylvania to send two Senators, and three millions of blacks in the Smith had as many members in the House of Representatives as the seven millions of white people in'the great States of New York and PenneyiVanta combined ; so that, in fact, the negro of the South, by these reconstruction, acts, was made equal to ten white then in the states of New York and Pennsylvania. How could such a thing 'be justified ? HpOn what theory of human rights can any person imagine any other motive than that which seemed to be transparent—that the Radicals have lost confidence in the white race, and are willing to call in the blacks and make them the tools and instru ments to maintain themselves In power and position against the votes and majority of the people of the Northern free States, as well as against the whole body of the white race at the South? and what better force could be found to maintain despotism than those Ignorant black men, with no aspira tions and no appreciations of liberty in the sense in which we understand it? In my judgment the policy embraced by the Dem ocratic party, which looks to confiding all things in the Sonnth, as well as in the North, to the people of that race who established this government in themselves and their children, and who are educated and enlight ened, and have created the eiVilization that exists among us, is the beet policy for the restoration of peace and prosperity, and the maintenance of that form of government which has been transmuted to ue by our ancestors.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—The twenty-niuth Triennial Convention of the Protestant Episcopal .Church commenced its session today by the usual religious services at Trinity Church, which was densely packed by a large congregation eager to witness this Imposing assemblage of distinguished di vines. The House of Bishops was repre sented in the chancel in very full numbers, headed by the venerable President, the 111. Rev. 13. 13. Smith, D. D., of Kentucky. The clerical and lay deputies occupied the front seats in the middle aisle. The morning prayers and communion service were conducted by a number of the 13 balers who had been assigned to their several parts by the presiding Bishop, the sermon being preached by Bishop Alfred Lee, of lid. A marked change from some of tile former occasions wee observed in the mus• ical and other arratigaments which were conducted with much simplicity. There was no processional or recessional and no surphlcal choristers. The singing was of a plain congregational order, led by a choir of thirty clergymen, and produced a very solemn and impressive effect. The absence of all extra show about these opening services is regarded as a testimony against the ritu alistic, movement which was much favored by the Into presiding Bishop Hopkins, but is entirely repudiated by his successor, Bishop Smith. This la the first general con vention of the Episcopal Church with a full representation of all the Dioceses since isso. It will have much Important business be fore it, and will sit at Trinity Chapel, prob ably for some weeks.

Statements of disappointed expectations In threshing are sufficiently abundant in the Mouth, In Wisconsin and other parts of the West, to furnish themes ihr agricultural croakers; a little rust here and there, the chinch bug, and oilier causes of failure are found; the grasshopper at cer• thin points to the distant west line been it burden to wheat-growers. On the other hand, cases are mentioned of a threti.lohl acreage with half an average yield, giving a fifty per cent, aggregate increase notwith standing the loss; numerous returns declare the present the largest crop in many years ; and the majority, In view of the general Increase In acreage, show a better result than that of last year,. after accounting for losses in the yield. It. may be staled, however, that the average yield per acre of the whole country Is scarcely equal to that of 1867, hut the In creased area sown will secure an aggregate somewhat larger than the product of that year.
