WEDNESDAY, NOV. 11, 1868 To Campaign Subscribers : With this Issue the term of our Cam paign subscribers expires, but, to ena ble as many of them, as desire to do so, to receive the INTELLIGENCER perma nently, and without intermission, we have concluded to send to each of them two more numbers. This we do, with the expectation that a large proportion of them will become yearly subscribers. To all such we hereby offer to send the INTELLIGENCER until Januargist, 1870, for the sum of two dollars. We hope all will continue , with us. They can not Invest two dollars more profitably. This paper Is Just what they need In their families, and they know it. It will be more varied in its contents, but none the less soundly Democratic during the lull in the political excitement. On the 4th of next March the Democratic can didate will be nominated for Governor. The political contest still goes on, and there can be no abatement of the strug- Ile untilcorrect principles shall prevail. n the fight the INTELLIGENCER will always be found doing vigorous battle. Then let every campaign subscriber at tach his name to our permanent list, and we promise to give them a paper Which will not be surpassed in the vari ety or interest of the matter it contains by any Journal in the country. All such campaign subscribers as do not renew their subscriptions by Dec. let will be regarded as desiring to dis continue the paper and will be dropped. Money can be sent to us by mail, with perfect safety. The Result The rfturns of yesterday's election, which we publish elsewhere, tell the result lu terms too plain to be mistaken. Blinded by passion and prejudice the people of the United States have refused to listen to the dictates of political wis dom:and have granted a new lease of poiscer to the Radicals who have already done so much to ruin the nation. Sec tional animosities proved stronger than sound Judgment, and the rich monopo lists and privileged classes combined have prevailed in this struggle over the laboring men of the country. Grant will be Inaugurated ns Presi dent for four years on tile Ath of next March, if he lives. What policy he will pursue remains to be seen. Many Republicans are already hoping and predicting that he will disappoint the Radicals and pursue a mild and con ciliatory policy of his own making. We have no such expectation. We be lieve he will he hut a dumb tool in the hands of the worst men of the Rad ical party, and the mere echo of theft voices. We hope we may he but do not believe We will be. The Democratic party is temporarily beaten, but the masses who compose it In Pennsylania will not be dishearten ed. They will keep their organization intact in every election district, and will not permit the tires to cool on their altar, until, with the assembling of the ;State Convention to nominate a candi date for Governoro they shall be again called upon to enter upon a new contest. Then with unabated deterra 'nation they will begin anew the battle which must end in the speedy triumph of the Dem ocratic patty, if our Republican form of government is destined to survive. A Minority President Washington is famous for its foolish men and particularly for its foolish newspapercorrespondents. Theamouut 01 trash and nonsense Whieh daily conies over the wires from the Capitol, and is printed iu the newspapers, is something fearful to contemplate and sickening to read. The latest statement which is communicated to tie by these reliable correspondents is that an effort is being made to have the 14:timer:air States cast their Electoral votes for (front so as to make his election unanimous. Thesd wise men seem to forget two Plight. obstacles In the way of this acherne ; one of which is that nimpower on earLlt can authorize Electors to vote Mr (front who were elected to vote for Seymour; and the other Is that the Democracy have no more disposition to coat their ballots for (Arent now, than they hail on the Id of November. He has been elected by fraud and is In reality a minority President. The N. Y. World has made a calculation which clearly shows this. It estimates that (front's majority In the whole vote cast in November will be about 270,)00 ; but three States, Iliis elecippl, Texas and Virginia, were not permitted by Congress and the military to vote; they would have given, If they had voted, a majority of 175,000 to Sey mour, which reduces (Iran L's majority under 'MAR lint in all the rest of the Southern States the major jiortlon of the white eitizeum have been disfran chised by Congress, for the purpose of preserving the Republican ascendency. The number of voters thus disfranchised Is about 550,n0n ; so that if a fair vote had been taken of all tile citizens of the United States on the 311 of November, Seymour would have had a majority of 450,000.

The I.presa endeavors to show by the publication of a local from the INTEL moitiktuitu respecting the price of stove coal that the prices of the necessaries of life have not advanced (luring th' reign of Radicalism. This attempt, on the part of the organ of the Bondholders to demonstrate that the poor men of our country are not taxed to support the rich Bondholders, is a failure. True there to a preacnt panic to the market which has canned the present pride of coal to be something higher than customary. But the customary price of coal and of every. thing else for eome years past has been enormous. And we therefore repeat that the present high price of coal is a slgn of the advance in price of all the necessa rleo of life which must ensue should ! Gen. Grant consent to carry out the ultra Radical doctrines and policy ad- vocated by the editors of the Express, Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner, and all that class of fanatics. The local item suggested the editorial item and the attempt of the ExpreBa to answer Truth by an awkward effort to appear sharp does not change the existing condition of affairs brought about by a Radical and InfamouS majority in Congress, viz: That you, workingmen and me ' chanics of Lancaster, are taxed to main ' tain in Idleness and ease rich Bond holders and idle Negroes. A sign or the Good Time Coming. Coal has advanced to eight dollars gi ton. This is a sign of the approach at' the good times which the Radicals as sured their dupes and tools was coming with the election of Grant. It is true that Gen. Grant has not made much of apolitical record for him self, but, in what he has said and done, we find reason to believe that he may decline to be a mere tool In the hands of the Radicals. Ilis terms of surren der accorded to Lee were generous and Just; his report made upon the condi tion of the South some six months after the end of the rebellion was fair and honorable; his testimony before the reconstruction committee showed that he understood and approved of the restoration pulley originated by Abra ham Lincoln, and applied to the South by Andrew Johnson. These things would lead us to believe that he may determine not to be ruled by the ex treme men of the Republican party In regaid to the South. There Is another danger which will beset hint from the beginning, and against which it will require all his energies to enable him to guard himself effectually. Ile will be at once besieged by a hard of the most greedy and cor rupt cormorants that ever swarmed about any national treasury. That frauds and wholesale stealing have been the order of the day In all departments of the government for eight years past no one can deny. General Grant .oust see to it that there is a thorough change in this respect. Unless he does his ad ministration will speedily become a stench in the nostrils of a plundered people. • Many grave and important questions will demand the prompt attention of General Grant as President. By pur suing a wise and moderate policy, by confining himself within the Consti tutional limits of his office, by refusing to permit Congress to exceed its rightful powers without his earnest and manly protest, by enforcing honesty and economy in the administration of the Government, lie can win golden opin• lons from all truly patriotic citizens. He has the most magnificent oppor• tunity set before him. How he will improve It remains to be seen. He must have a policy, anti a very decided one at that, if he would be what a President should be at this crisis of our public affiiirs ; but, to do and to be all that the country requires, he need have no pol icy In opposition to the will of the peo• pie, unless he bhould very foolishly attempt to carry out the insane policy of the Radicals, He has a great oppor tunity set before him, and the great question is.— What will he do frith it / For Negro Suffrage We clip the following trom the edi torial columns of the N. Y. Tribune, where it appears In the full display of double leaded type: Ouo of tbt most gratifying Incidents of the lute National triumph is the adoption of Impartial suffrage in the Slates of lowa end Minnesota by decisive majorities. This was the third trial in Minnesota—the vote for Justice and True Democracy increasing at each repetition. Connecticut, we trust, is about to follow. If their brass were not inch-deep, we should shame the slanderers who assert that the Repuolicans are for Negro Suffrage In the South, but against It at the North. We assure the Tribune that we are not of those " who assert that the Re publicans are lu favor of Negro Suffrage in the South, but against it In the North." We believe the leaders of the party are in favor of complete and per fect Negro Equality throughout the whole country. We know that the masses of the party do not like the dose prepared them. Their stomachs very naturally revolt at It, but the leaders Insist' upon their swallowing it. The people - pf Minnesota rejected it twice and the people of lowa once before, but they had to accept (tat last. The Tribune serves notice on Connecticut that she to be the next subject. The turn of Pennsylvania will come before long, if here is not a chock to the power of the Radicals ; and the Conservative Repub. limns (so called), who swear they can never go It, will submit with subservi ent humility. They haven't the back bone to make a fight against the Radical leaders. While California is producing $15,000,000 on gold ehe produces $00,000,003 in farm propucts and $50,000,000 In manufactured goods. Radical Morals. The Philadelphia Post has at length made up its mind that Justice Reed had no right to direct the election officers in Philadelphia to refuse to take the votes of the six thousand foreigners who were naturalized before the October election in the Supreme Court before Justice Shorewood. It will however strike most persons as odd that the Post was not able to arrive at this very just and patent conclusion before the election in. stead of after it ; and none will hesitate to form the opinion that it postponed its denunciation of Reed's rascal ity,in order that the Republican party might have full opportunity to profit by R. If the Post had spoken in time it might have prevented the Republican election offi cers from rejecting, as they did, these 6000 votes; and that would have been an injury to the Republican party. It I might likewise have saved these elec. tion officers from being punished for the commission of a great crime; ! but that is considered to be a matter of small importance, as Governor Geary is expected to pardon them all. The election being over, it looks as though the republican partywas willing enough to clear its skirts of responsi bility, for Reed's:villainy by shoulder ing the whole of it upon that miserable old reprobate ; he has drawn its chest nuts from the fire; it has reaped the fruits of his crime; and now it would ignominiously desert him, and holding up its hands in holy horror at his conduct, strive to free itself from its damning stain. But it will utterly fail to do so; the plot to throw out these votes was concocted by the Rad ical leaders and Reed was but their willing tool to execute it. Tney derived the profit from it and must share its shame. The audacity of these men is truly wonderful; deliberately cheating us out of 0,000 votes by this one plot, and out of many more by other plans equally as vile, they have the effront ery to talk loudly of frauds corn milled by Democrats; and the Repub lican majority in the Board of Return Judges in Philadelphia has even dared to throw out the returns made by the election officers of several precincts in the Fourth Ward, although in proper form, because of alleged frauds at the polls. Now the merest tyro in the law knows that it was not in the power of this Board to decide questions of fraud, but that their duty was confined to see ing that the returns were presented in proper form and to finding the aggregate vote for each candidate. Judge Lud low so decided in Philadelphia, two or three years ago, when Democrats ap plied to him to direct the Return Judges not to count certain man4festly illegal votes ; on Friday last the Republican Return Judges advised with Judg3Alli sou, who seems to be only a less violent ly insane a partisan than Justice Reed; he was obliged to tell them that legally they were bound to count all the Re turns that were properly made by the of ficers of the precincts; but he added,that if he was one of their manlier hi would not count these Fourth Ward returns, unless he tear , forced to do so by legal pr•oi'css ! Were ever such words heard from a Judge on the Bench before, declaring that he would not obey the law unless he was forced to do so? We presume these Fourth Ward votes were,many of them, fraudulent ; but not more so than others, in much larger numbers, which were counted for the Republican ticket; they did not, for instance, amount to mare than oue•fourth of the 0,000 votes of naturalized Democrats which the Post now acknowledges were improper ly kept out of the ballot boxes. The Radicals seem to regard cheating at the Polls as their special prerogative, any Infringement upon which by Dem ocrats is a heinous crime. They cheated us vilely in the Fourth Ward of this city In October; Mr. Dickey, our mem ber of Congress, who presides at that poll, admitted that they had done so and said " there was nothing legally or morally wrong" in the way they did it. This is their doctrine ; and they argue to this way : It is right for them to win ; but they can't win without cheating; therefore they have a right to cheat. They consider however,that they have a special copyright on this Logic and won't allow us to use it. But they snake up a Sylogism for us, which they are perfectly willing that we shall copy right, and it runs thus : It Is right for the Democracy to be beaten ; they can be beaten by being honest; therefore it is right for them to be honest. Now this Radical propensity to cheat at elections must be checked or they will beat us for all time to come. Some say "Fight Fire with Fire and beat them at their own game ;" but that we will never condescend to do. We are an tamest party, especially since Forney left us and the other blacklegs that in• Tested our lines up to 1H00; such as Stanton, Sickles et id ensue genus, No; if we cannot cure these Radicals in any other way, we will beat their iniquity out of them in a square stand up tight, and after hanging a few of the worst cases, we will give the balance another chance to repent of their sins and to lead in the future honest and upright Radical Rejoicing The Tanners' Club, of this city, re cently had a jubilee on the occasion of Geu. Grant's election to the Presidency. They marched through our principal streets with a band of music and a small sparkling of fire-works. Why do the Radicals rejoice so much many persons Inquire? We answer because they were not swept out of existence, for had the Democrats triumphed, Radicalism would have been dead ant beyond all resuscitation. The Radicals hav‘e bare ly escaped political death, consequently do the Tanners rejoice. At the Presi dential election in ISO 4, Gen McClellan received but twenty-one electoral votes against President Lincoln. At the re cent election the Democratic candidates have received four or five times more electoral votes than did Gen. McClellan, This must be (lie cause of Radical jubi lation, they are happy because they were not utterly routed, "-horse, foot and dragoons," in the recent political contest. When the war ended, over three years ago, Gen. Grant stated that the nation was restored to peace and prosperity. But the Radical leaders would not per mit such a state of affairs to exist. They sacritdr.ed the best interests of the people on the altar of partizanship; the Re publican party must live even if It sub sist on the passions and prejudices engendered by a bloody and destructive Civil War. In consequence of the course pursued by the Radical majority In Congress, a vast debt is now posed upon the laboring men of the Na tion, and an army of ofliceholders and thousands of idle negroes consume the products of the peoples' industry, All these evils have occurred since the ad ministration of publicztrairs has been under Radical control, The presump tion therefore is that the Radical office- holders, the youthful aspirants for future offices from the Radical voters of this county, and their dupes and hired adherents were jubilating over the con tinuance of the existing sad condition of our Nation by parading on Friday night. The Exprcea suggests that the political organization:called "Tanners' Club" be kept up, in some form, until our next charter election, when the Ex press thinks "the city can be com pletely redeemed from Democratic rule." By all means let this organization be kept up and also let it occasionally Jubl late, It will prove useful In reminding our °Miens that the Radicals are dls posed to follow the example of the Roman tyrant, Nero, who fiddled while Rome was burning. Napoleon le experimenting wßii petro leum for gunpowder. Negro Suffrage—Congress to Enforce It on all the States. When, during the late political can vas; we predicted that an attempt would be made to force Negro Suffrage and Negro Equality upon all the States by act of Congress, if Grant should be elected, our assertions were denied. Yet, the returns are scarcely half In, until we find a concerted movement set on foot to accomplish this very purpose. We have published significant Items already from the N. Y. Tribune and several other Radical journals. The following remarkable editorial from Forney's Press develops the whole plot, and will enable all to see what the Rad icals intend to do, and how they are resolved to improve the victory they have won by force and fraud. Forney very appropriately heads his article with the word " Forward.” Here is the Radical plan fully set forth : Now that Grant has gone in by the fiat of the people, the question naturally presents itself—what next? It is a bad policy al ways to pause after a successful charge—a victory is nothing unless you secure its fruits. The Democratic party would have cared little for the loss of Stone river, Get tysburg, and Richmond, had we been con• tent to let slavery remain untouched. They would any time have given us the battles had wo given up to them the principles of the war. But aside from policy or expediency, It is not in the nature of things that the Re publican party should stop now, or even rest on Its laurels. We aro the channel of the vital power—the historical life of the nation ; the trustees of freedom for the peo ple of this continent at least, to look no fur ther. We would be false to our trust did we here lay down our arms. The election of Grant was not an objective end—lt la but a means to further advances. We have deliberately raised the banner of equal rights, and solemnly assured the world that our platform was exact and thorough Justice. In that sign we have con quered. God has been gracious unto us and given us the victory. With King David we can sing. "Lord, Thou best been favor able unto Thy land." Did we falter here it would be treachery to ourselves and Ingrat itude to Providence. Did we, fat with the spoils and swollen with honors and ot➢ce, sit down and complacently say: "Soul, -thou, heel many goods laid up for many years--take thine ease, eat, drink and be merry," we should justly bring down on our heads the fate of the faithless steward of Gods bounty. "This very night," and most righteously, would the sceptre pass from us. Thu colored man holds the bond and pledge of this country. Under the furnace blast of war we promised him freedom. We owe not the hollow promise, to be kept to the ear and broken to the hope; but the substantial thing—good measure, full, pressed down, and running over. Let us give it now, and let the Fortieth Congress snatch the honor. Common justice, com mon humanity, and common gratitude call on us now to enfranchise with the ballot the colored rn,an in every Stale. It can be done safely and successfully. We have no Presidential election to imperil now. We are on the wave of success. Let us use it to float the ship of State into quiet waters— quiet because they are the great deep of I justice and of right. Let the Fortieth Congress, in December, as their first and mein Work, propose an amendment to the Constitution conferring the power to vote for National purposes and officers on colored men, under equal con ditions with while men, and submit it to the people, under the filth article. Three ; fourths of the States would rush to ratify it, and another laurel, ever green arid glorious would be added to the enduring honors of our great party. Let us see how the ground lies. We col late in tabular form the States in which colored men now vote; those now unrecon structed in which, when admitted, they will vote; and of the remainder those which belong to, us and those owned by the De mocracy. To these lists we attach the pop ; ular majorities, for they, too, contain a les son: There are thlrty•seven States in, or soon to bo in the Union. Colored men now vote Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts,.... Rhode Island, Wisconsin, ...... Minne50ta,......... lowa,. Nebraska, Tennessee, ...... North Carolina,.. South Carolina,.. Georgia, norida, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri,. Arkansas, West Virginia, Nineteen States absolutely Under certain property qualifications col ored men are now allowed to vote by the Constitutions of New York and New Jersey. By the terms of the reconstruction acts thy must vote in the following States when ad in itted : . . Texas, Mississippi, Virginia. In all the following States we hold the Legislatures by the recent election, and these Legislatures era competent to ratify the amendment for the people of their re spective States; Connecticut, Now York,.. Pennsylvania, Ohio Indiana Katt Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, ...... California, Eleven States, The only States absolutely hopeless would be: . Dem. Mg), Delaware ' 2,000 Maryland, Kentucky, 70,000 New Jersey, 1,000 The colored men voting already In nine. teen States, which are secure for the amend ment, under a lair election, and eleven more States, represented by Republican Legislatures, gives us thirty States safe, Independent of New Jersey, which admits the argument for colored suffrage by al lowing a conditional suffrage. Twenty nine Is a three-fourths majority of all the States in or out of the Union—twenty-six of all now in. This places the whole matter In our hands, and throws on us the responsibility of de clining to discharge the sworn obligation of the nation. Tie significant majorities In the above tables convey their own lesson. Where the colored men vote, there the cause of Repub licanism is entirely safe, and will be.— Again, the popular majorities against this move foot up to about one hundred thou sand, while Grant's clear majority on the', entire vote is estimated at half a million. ; Every great political struggle in the his tory of - tits country has resulted in a trl- ' umph of radicalism. Therehave been three such marked and pregnant contests, in which the radical forces were successively led by Jefferson, Jackson, and Lincoln,, We are yet In the midst of the latter. livery one of these great struggles has enlarged the boundaries of human freedom. As the leaders were true to human liberty, so far were they successful. We may profit by history. Jefferson, leading the forlorn hope. of true Democracy, after a desperate strug gle, planted its banner on our soil. Jack son, gathering around him the people, de fended It from 18'2.1 to 1836 against the as- ; saults of the slaveocratic oligarchy, headed by Calhoun. To-day it is our grand privi ' lege to make firm end established forever I the fabric of democratic liberty, grounding it on the sure and lasting fouhuntion of universal suffrage. That we are but speaking the voice of the masses of the people a thousand indications beyond our magnificent majorities meet us at every turn. From the Meadville Repub lican, to strong and Influential Journal, which well represents the popular feeling of Northwestern Pennsylvanin, we extract the leading article of this week's Issue, as a significant Illustration of the outspoken I sympathies of toe loyal people of our com mon country : LETTER FROM JUDGE KELLEY The course of the Republican, in advo cating negro suffrage has not been accept able to some of our Republicans who ero not yet prepared to surrender their preju dices and sustain justice for its own :nke, but the great majority of the earnest men of our party heartily agree with our views, As a matter of course the Democracy in• Bulge in denunciation and misrepresenta lion, but as they are powerless politically their approval is of no consequence. We take the liberty of giving place In our col umns to a private letter from that stout and honest champion of the right, H one of Penn sylvaula's ablest statesmen, on. Wm. D. Kelly PHILADELPHIA, Oct. '27, 1868, R. Lyle White. Esq. : DEAR SIR: I cannot refrain from thank ing you for your reiterated demand In the columns of the Republican for justice to all. Party expedie icy and exact Justice coincide for once, and you express their mcurrent voice when you say "the next battle we have In Pennsylvania must be to give the ballot to the black man." I pray you to tpersist In this good work. Yours, very ruir, W. p. KELLEy. e can assure the judge that we intend to' persist in this good work." Although negro suffrage was not an Issue In thet recent campaign, yet the Democracy in sisted that it was, and charged the Repub. limns with favoring negro equality and negro suffrage. In spite of all their ap peals to the prejudlao against color the De mocracy were beaten. Wo had to tight the battle with this Issue ringing In our ears— an issue that wo had not the courage to make squarely and boldly. Wo are via torious—now let us be true to ourselves and to the race that stands ready to help us. Not many years ago these same men whom God created with a different complexion from ours earnestly sought to join our armies and aid in crushing the nation's foes, We hesitated and fought at a disad vantage without them and at last they were promised that when a great victory crowned our arms their prayers would be answered and they would be mustered into the army of the Republic. It was thought, and perhaps wisely, that a step ofsuch Rad ical moment could not be made In a time of disaster. A while ago our leaders feared to present the suffrage question to the people. Now we have gained the victory and need no lodger dread to grapple with the enemy on this issue. It IS a duty we should meet, boldly and manfully. 'ln honor we cannot withhold any right under the law from a people who stood up in the red tide of battle to defend and perpetuate the Gov ernment, and the work of preparing the people of Pennsylvania to meet this ques tion should begin now, and never cease till the right of suffrage is restored to our color d population.

The Philadelphia Post, since the elec. lion, has found courage thus to speak of the hoary headed scoundrel, Read : " What if frauds had been committed— what If a rebel soldier had been naturalized —that is no reason why the papers bearing the seal of the Supreme Court should be I thrown out in a heap. Such a thing has never been done or attempted, and the theory on which Judge Reed proceeds is without precedent in the history of law.— The seal is sacred ; It is the proof or validi ty everywhere, so that even the seal of a . notary public is its own evidence all over the world, and must be accepted by every Court until it is proved a forgery. No man who holds a certificate of naturalization is required to prove that it is legal; upon those who deny its legality the burden of proof rests. A Judge of the Supreme Court, sitting aside from his fellow Judges, with ino case before him, has no more right to set aside the Beal of the Court than the hum blest member of the community. It makes not the slightest difference what party pro. fits by the wrongful use of the seal, or whether it is believed that thieves, murder ers and rebels have, by the irregular pro ceedings of a Prothonotary, been created voters. There is the seal of the Chart, and it must be a.F.srEcTEn. To set it aside, In six thousand separate instances, without examination of any one paper, the, good and bad together ; to disfranchise men who ware legally made citizens, because It Is be lieved that others gained their certificates by false swearing,—to do this is to strike at the very foundation of all law. The remedy is worse than the disease. It would be but ter fur the Republican party to lose an election by the issue of fraudulent certill cates, than to gain it by suppressing them I tyrannically unlawfully. We cannot afford to make the law - a par tisan Instrument, and Judge Read's opin ion has done the Republican party no tier • vice. The Republican Journals which applaud It cannot have considered the mutter carefully. The Evening Telegraph believes that,l when "the crisis comes," Judge Read will be supported by the Leg Islature, and " trusts' that a majority of his colleagues will agree with him. What Is that crisis? Plainly, that Judge Read stands in danger of the condemnation of the whole bar, and that hi. opinion will be pronounced contrary to the fundamental principles of law. Wo regret that the mis take has been made, but we cannot be a party to It. The Republican party Is not to be held responsible for this great error, by which it was intended it should profit. Wendell Phillips en Grant's Election, Wendell Phillips ("the man that sup plies the Republican party with brains") thus, in his Anti-Slavery Standard of this week, notifies Grant what he must and must not do In order - to "carry on the government:" "Abolitionials and all earnest Radicals are . now summoned to address themselves to the work which IS yet to beuccompllshad.

The ktiestlon of confiscation, especially with reference to the large amount of land fraud• ulently conveyed irom the possession of the United States government to the bands of rebels, should be at once considered, In the interest of the landless blacks, to whom by virtue of their past unrequited toil, the soil rightfully belongs. The measure of primary importance now to be promptly initiated and adopted on the re-assembling of Con gress, is an additional amendment to the Constitution forbidding dialranchuscinent, or proscription' from official truid, on account of race or COlOl, in any Slate or Territory of the Union. It is urgently demanded to guarantee the ballot to Southern colored men, and to enfranchise many thousands in the Barder and Northern States. This measure should not be postponed for the consideration of the Forty•first Congress, but should be promptly acted upon and adopted by the Fortieth. " Let us have peace" tun been many times reiterated during the campaign just closed. One danger before us is the assumption that the fact of Grant's election in itssolf will insure " peace at the South.

While deliberate and organized in justice to the negro is perpetuated, the 'irrepressible conflict" will continue, no matter,who may be President. Our many triumphs In the past have been won under circumstances of adverse oppo sition much more formidable than any thing we are likely to have to encounter In the near future. Opposition we are un doubtedly to have, but now, as hitherto, logic and right are on our side. We have but to prees urgently and perseveringly our demand and our past successes are a guarantee of ultimate complete triumph, The Times, the Post, the Reread, and the Conservatives" for whom they tweak, already exultant at what they deem the eclipse of Radicalism reckon without their hog in supposing it to be within the power of General Grant, if, as they allege, at be las disposition, to maternally obstruct the prog ress of Radical reformation in national politics. If the Republican party consents to be the instrument of that beneficial ref ortnatlon all will be well with both the party and the country. If It refuses, It will only be the worse for the party." (Grant, therefore, will please lake notice. He is warned Its time), Why Gen, Grant floc■ not Realign. A few weeks ago the question as to wheth er General Grant would resign his position as general-in-chlet of the army before the day of election was extensively discussed. From all the information your correapon. dent could obtain ut that time In relation to this subject it seemed to be almost curtain that General Grant would not resign, and It was so stated in these dispatches. The sequel has proved the truth of that state ment. The day of the election has passed, and C. S. Grant is Still general of the arm ies. In thus holding on to his military po• sitlon General Grunt has a very Important object in view, and it Is just as certain that he will not resign if he be elected to-morrow l'resideot of the United States, nor will he tender his resignation until the duyof Mau -1 guration shall have arrived. General Grant achieved success in the field by care fully studying all the possible moves of his opponents, cud by forecasting Ills own movements to any contingency. Ile doubt less perceives that his resignation would leave a vacancy at the head of the army which will have to be tilled. He may have preferenceslas to who:shall:fill that vacancy, and very probably thinks that if he should have the privilege of making the nomina tion there would be less difficulty In filling that highly important grade in the service with the very man who accords best with his Ideas of an army commander. It does not require an extraordinary keenuesa to see that General Grunt's preference rests upon Lieutenant General Sherman, who Is next in rank.— Wash. Cur. N. Y. Jieral d.

The channel through which these "most effective election docutnents " tout their wily to the public is Harpor'k Weekly a paper which has the effrontery to style it self a "Journol of Civilization," yet fills it, columns from week to week with appeals I to bigotry, passion and prejudice, such as might fsf more properly addressed to the I understanding of a Comonche than to the cultivated sense of it Coln:tuff an. Tat , a lma pictures designed by Nast are the most prominent feature of the nic/ay, and so completely give the tone In its pages that the entire sheet may be fairly said to have become n common sewer of political Nest- Iness. No words could have conveyed more malignant, Infamous and slanders upon the larger portion or the American people, than have bean concen trated in the cartoons with which this lel low Nast hum ornamented the paper relerred to during the late campaign. We have reason to believe that a very liberal percentage of the support if the Her per's publications has been drawn from members of the Democratic party, who have thus contributed the Melina or pn mulgating Menem: on themselves. It a. well remembered, that at about the period of the commencement of the rebellion, Harper'n Weekly Will, It fled with cio grovings of ttu entirely opposite character• addressed specially to the prii,ind lees Southern men.
