The copper presses take exception , to our " tone " towards -" the people t of lie south." We are reminded by mote . than one copper sheet that the, e people are now " fellow-citi zens and brothers" and that it is , not either generous or politii3 to I speak of them as rebels and traitors, and to denoutice them ai constantly plotting - eviL The' rebuke might come with some force 'and really be entitled to ',owe consideration if it were founded in truth. We claim that there is - absolute, political folly and danger in - entrusting the control of the national government and the' managsment of all its Complicated affairs to men who have been for eight years fighting as hard as they could to destroy. the government, and . who caused whatever comfilications there are ; and this though` - their re pentance were perfect. We farther claim that their affiliation with north ere Democrats, and their zeal to des troy the party by whom their mad ness was defeated, is an evidence that their sentiments have not yet fully reached a , Tellable point. We further claim that their language at the New York ,Convention was in ceediary ; and 'still further, that the general tone of speech by all promi nent men in all parts' of the south is. marked by a bitter and revengeful spirit ; that it is deadly towards the Union party and bitterly inimical to the faithful administration of the country. And therefore we add, that the, rebels need further political su pervision, and that ;the party with' which they are ' wedded almoskto a man must be kept out of power. Here is the late language of - men who are fairly and confessedly rep resentatives of the southern senti ment. These are men who are and long have been been influential there and who may be properly selected as the stags and organs of the feel ing referlfff to. We ask if this lan guage indicates inch a pacification as will justify patriots• or sensible people of any kind, 1 politicians or business men, in consenting that power should be placed-in their con. trot ?• - The. Memphis Appeal says : " . 0o on, boys ; ; swear to murder northern Huns. 5 ‘ Armyourselv9s and organize, and' be ready to respond promptly when called on, and fight bravely even if you get illed." General Wade Hampton says : "I yield to none In devotion to at 'lost cause' for which we fought ever shall I admit that the cause itself' failed, and Abet the principles which gave it life were wrong. Nev sli er shall I brand the men w o upheld it so nobly as 'rebela ' or ' actors.' Should this dear old mother ours call her sous together to defe .. her altars, if life and volition,,kye le to me, none will respond; more ..- . . • ly and promptly than myself." . Governor Wise, of Virginia,says: " Secession is not dead • it is more; alive to-day .than ever.._ ' I support Blair because he promises a-revolu tion." The pirate Oe!nceee says : " I have bwn a Democrat all h►# Mil MEMO '=,_..-..;.* '-:::'TONVAND.A i - ,B4w i mpopir.y.,: P.A:si l :m 7.ppßi,w.r.-,,'.1.808. life—Lbefore the war, dating the war t and since the war--and fought the war on ptinciple of Democracy, and as such .

'and now gives sighs - of new life . vitality,, and I have come .here . 41t from the country to ratify Toppi& with you in the nomination of Seymour and General AlbertTike says " Young it is for yeti to briag back to the country thosegold en days.

Swear eternal' halm' of its cippres• tom Swear that the day shall come whbn- the Susquehanna and Ohio shall be like, rivers of Are, as they are now , rivers of blood, between yours native land and that of the northern Huns, which no man shall attempt to cross,, and' live." John Forsythe, of Albama, says : " Denounce the loyal league upon every occasion; organize a Ku Kluz Klan - whenever they organize a !atm; meet friendship and peace as Christians should; meet midnight leaguers and enemies as manhood dares." Ramsay, of Georgia, says . ; "We have aroused in our might once' more, under the leadership of Seymour and . Blair, to raise the Con stitution from the. that. Georgia has passed through a fiery ordeal. Some of her children, during the war she was compelled to wage, deserted her 'and joined her enemies. Let thent 'be ,like Arnold, forever- accursed: l - We have seen our soldiers fall, our cities in. flame's, our citizens torn from peaceful homes. We looked upon it unmoved and Imblanched.— But we can bear it no longer. We will now, at all hazards, recover our lost liberties and restore the State.— We are in the midst of a great revo lution, which may end peacefully at the ballot-box ; but if not, then the true men of the south will rally once. more under their now folded banner, and will try the issue of the car lridge-boz. (Loud and enthusiastic applause). Remember the ancestors from whom yon sprung. There arc men in the north who are now truly with you and 'who will in such a conflict, if necessary, lead your bat talions. We did not make'the other war, it was forced upon us. We simply stood for the rights for which oar forefathers bled ; and we will stand there again, come peace or war 1" • . Robert Toombs, of the State, says: " The reconstruction acts are null and void,- and shall not stand. * * * * The grinning skeletons which have been setup in our midst as legislatori shall be ousted 'by Frank Blair, whom our party has ex pressly appointed for that purpose. All these things shall be swept away from the bosom of the country. * * * .* It is needless to tell them. (Republicans) that there is but one great principle oftjustice which•should rule, and that resistance to tyrants is obedience to God." The Petersburg, Va , Index says: "Should deliverance from Radical rule fail 'to come, there .are millions in the South to whom life will be come so worthless that they would gladly throw it away to be =Avenged on their adversary." Howell Cobb says: "I want to express it and urge it upon you, until there shall exist in the heart and soul of every son and daughter that walks and breathes her pure air and lives upon her hap py _soil this conviction, that these men of the north, these Chicago men, these men who called upon to vote for Grant and Celfax, and that Grant and Colfax, who have indorsed , these things,, are neither worthy of your vote, your respect or your confidence much less of your kindness ,and hos pitality. My friends, they are your enemies. I state it in a cool and calm debate. Enemies they were in war, and enemies they continue 'to be in peace. In war we drew the sword and bade them defiance, in peace we gather up the manhood of the south, and raising the banner of constitutional equality, and gather ing around it the good men of the north as well as the south, we hurl into their teeth to day the same del ance, and bid Ahem come on to the struggle. We are ready for it if you are. The Louisville Journal says: "The white Radicals will be split ted, and will not escape.. If we have to die for it we will get even with them. They have brought.ruin upon us. They have proscribed us. They are hunting us down daily. Now if they push us to the wall, and foros us to fight in self defence, we mean to put our first bullet into• their own wicked hearts." A. Texas Journal , says: "The, result of the war settled one point and nu more. It settled and conclusively established the fact that eleven southern States could be whip ed by twenty-three northern and west ern States., General Battle, of Mobile says: "Comrades, brothers, year after year you bore the confederate flag through fire and tempest, and upon more than two hundred battle-fields covered it with glory. The fortitude of the south in the midst of her deso lation has attracted the admiration of'the world, and now the Democrat party of the - Union throws over `her banner inscribed with the princi ples.of costitutional liberty, for which she fought. The Democratic . party indorses the ,principles for which you battled." The Richm . end Dispatch says: "These are, indeed, revolutionary times, -and calls for revolutionary he roe&—men of nerve, backbone and physical' courage. Whoever hopes to deceive the northern people, and make them believe that it is only' in ordinary.

SCHUYLER COLFAX—AN INCIDENT.— There is an incident inAhe life of Schuyler Colfax which will be 'view ed now with especial interest. On June 21, 186,6; Mr. CoNei; delivered, a remarkable address on tke " Bogse Laws of !Nebraska," which was a w0r4 . 1-for-word quotation, clause after clause, of the infamous cede of that territory, with explanations of its operations. 'One clause in, this mon strous system of laws declared it to be " illegal for any person to say that it was wrong to hold slaves," and subjects that offence to the al penalty, of w aring a ball " a ball and chain to the ankle." To give point to his is tech, Mr. Colfax pro ii dated from hi desk one of the regu lation iron b lle,i - weighing thirty pounds, and pologized for the ab• sence of the feet of chain belong ing to it. Mr. , Alexander IL Steph ens, the subse uent vice president of the confedera y, desired to inspect the article, w en Mr. Colfax cour teously hand it to the gentleman, and obliged hi to hold it while the South Bend pr nter explained its Use. This reminiscence illustrates well the War which! so short a time ago the friends of freedom were necessi. , tilted to wage against slavery and the brutality. of the system they at-' tacked. Mr. Polfaes ,practical me thod of argurnent, and his shrewd but Courteous; strategy, forting Mr. Stephens into the polOtion of an as sistant lectors on the barbarism of slavery, are e inently characteristic of the man.—Phtlndelphia Press.

In this the eons of Bradford coun ty found a .conspicuous field upon which to display their patriotism and love of country.

Henry A. Wise, who yet boasts that secession is not dead, Beauregard, who was in favor of hoisting the blag flag. of the pirate, and Semmes the pirate of the Confederate States, who prowled the seas burning Ameripan merchantmen and hanging our seamen at the yard arm. And this is the class of men we are called upon to pla c e at the head of -this government by our votes. Were they traitors ? Yes. Are they any less so to-day? No. Then why trust them with power? Will they use it to spread abroad the holy principlee of Liberty ? No 'one believes it. Then why give them power? Do we want another civil war ? Does Pennsylvania want to pay out her millions of dollars in another civil war to maintain the National honor ? Do we Pennsylva nians want to be , compelled to lay on the altar of our country our thou. sands more brave eons, that the on tion may still have,a being and be preserved from the triumph of slave. holding treason, rebellion and crime.? Do we want a fresh exhibition of maimed men in our streets as a re sult of another . war ?

The writerhas been and still is opposed to the reconstruction policy of Cong.! ream, nevertheless he is e vi dently art honest and sensible man; as are many of -the members of that piety, not ' withstanding the treason and mad ness of the leaders. The letter wan written to a friend' in North Caroli na, and the.eztract below Was very properly published for the' considers don of the people down there. s. We commend ft to the calm ~ .nsideration of honest, reflecting I °crate by here. It is • jiiit such document as Republicana can use with goodefieet in'their friendly discussions of the great issue now pending with their Democratic friends and neighbors: "This reconstruction policy -of Congrese, strenuously as I refuted it, and obncixio.tuf as it is to you, is an accomplished tact. The effects of it may be modified by events, and the pokey may be softened; with thegrad nal; subsidence, of the passions con nected with the late struggle, but. overthrown it cannot be, except . by revolution and another civil war, and the issues of the pending Pleat ' dential canvas are so made up_ as to I present , tho question, necessarily overshadowing all others, whether the country is ready for so deeper ate an attempt se that, for any grev-1 angel which exist." Mr. , Weston then quotes. from }tulles • Broadhead letter and Wade :Ilainpten'a explanations, of the man ner in which the resolutions at New York were made to declare the re construction acts 'revolutionary, un constitutional, 'nun and 'void," and "The assumption the Dimocrat ie platform that the reconstruction acts are''nUlZ and void,' has no shad , dow of fact or law to rest upon. "Congress may not have exercised power wisely, but their rightful au thority in the premises is clear and unquestionable, -and those who de nounce their acts as 'null and void,' and .counsel revolutionary resistance to them, ate either thoughtless per sons who know not what they do, or ' bold and bail men; fatally bent on mischief. It is not in this second civil war, into which Mr. Blair and the-Democratic platform seek to en tice them, that the Southern States will find a remedy for the evils which -they stiffer.

Fhe antagonism of races will itself cease, when political contests cease to turn upon issues connected with the rein,- tive rights of races. . The policy- of Mr. Blair, on the other hand, tends directly and inevitably to band and c-thsolidatethe blacks into a phalanx impenetrable upon every front. I see ,' unredeemed mischief in it, in all its aspects. The flag with which he marches at the head of the Demo- cratic column Is the blick flag of dis cord and civil war for the country ) and of a war of races for the South. The mass if his misguided , followers are honest and .well intentioned, but it is none the less true that he is leading them in a broad and straight road to ruin. "My hope is that, the sober and dis creet men of the South, whose coun sels, like yotrfs; would have saved it from the late. war, will now avail to save it from this infinitely worse war, at once internal and external, portended by a new revolution, not so much originating i 5 your section . where the justifying grievances are alleged to exist, as instigated by po-.

Southern rights,. in whick, the warmest men are 'the men of the North, who are seeking, not the -re dress of wrongs, but the gratification of their lust of power, at the hazard of the ruin of the country?' This gentleman's views of the issue ai3 presented in the New Yorkplatform in the letters of Blair and the speech es 2. of Hampton and other leading members of that Convention, coincide precisely with our own as repeatedly expressed in these columns. Well and ;truly does Mr. Weston say— ' speaking of Frank Blair, who is the nominee and representative of, the rebel wing of the party, and . the most- potential—" The flag with which be marches at , the head of the Demo _credo column is the idack flag of die cord and civil war firr the country, and a war of races for the South.

The canning of corn in families so generally' , fails that we cannot recom mend the trial. The next best thing to canned corn is that which is prop erly dried. The first essential is good corn, and the nett is to dry it care fully before it gets too old. Mrs. M L. Gage, of Ross county Ohio, com municates the following' sensible ideas about. preparing it: "It is a wonder that" so few should have any. thing but field corn, for table use; and for drying there is still a greater contrast between the com mon field corn and the. garden ;rade tie& I h ive been used for years to drying corn. Boil the green ears for a minute or two, just to harden the milk, then cut from the cob, and spread on a cloth in the sun for two days,Aalting it in at - night; it will then keep anywhere. When - cooked it is better to soak it a few_hours, and boil in the same water. In cold - weather all that is wanted for • a week or two may be wet. ' It cooks quicker and tastes better. A little. milk and flour boiled in is almost as good as cream. I have - not given up drying corn, but:for two years past I have put 8 - ome down in salt, which gives another variety, and is more - quickly prepared: At first Lhad dif ficulty in freshening it, and then it was comparatively tasteless, but' "'7low -. 1 boil : the corn in one water a minute or tirsi _turn the wafer off, add - a few sliced potatoes, boil until they are - done, drain off the water,_ and add cream or butter. We thik this preparation tastes more like summer corn than the dried corn does, In sal ting I cut the greencorn without boi ling and pack it, alternating one pint-. _ of corn ands small handful of salt. When the vessel is about full-put on - a.cover_ that will fit down to the corn . and place a small weight on it, as it must be kept under the brine which it makes from its own juice. I have, for the past two years been canning green corn with tomatoes. I use about one fourth part corn, cooking the two together. I have never heard of but one case wnere green corn canned by itself did not spoil, but corn and . tomatoes canned together is a perfect success."—Ant. Agrteu/lur- .
