Wssursarox, Oct. 15, 1868.—The proposition
to withdraw Seymour and Blair is the all-ab
4ortibagetaaf discussion here, and bids fair
trit - to
.
clitrfferenee. klothinr Ina occurredaring this
or any past campaign no utterly deStructivo. to,
the integrity of their political organization.
The President is tickled with the idea. rldi the
White Rouse politicians chuckle over 14 and
appear to be really as much delighted with it as
the Republicans. They say the Democrats must
renounce Seymour and Blair, or be defeated, and
if they do repudiate thenrat this late hour defeat
Is equally ctrtaln. "So theycan take either horn
of the dilemma," one of the officials of the
White Bousexemarked to me to-day. The &m
-ing Express, a strong Democratic paper here,
takes open ground against the "surrender" 01
Styr" our, and the Blaine will never agree to
Frank's bring thrown overboard, unless they get
a quid pro quo in some other shape. So the
plot thickens. Chase Is elated with the idea of
being nominated, even at this late hour, and
would willingly take the nomination if he could
get It, butt° put him up would incense the ont
and-out rebel Democrats, who could not std each
one of the original abolitionists; to say nothing
of his being the father of oar present national
banking system, the bloated bondholders, and
all the otherfinancial machinery for crashing out
the rebellion, which the Democrats abhor so
dreadfully. Then, too, at Parkersburg, West
Virginia, did he not recently maintain that
the national debt was constitutional and
should be paid, and that the internal taxes to
pay it should be ri,„aidly collected? Talk about
Chase now! The original Democrats here abso
lutely spurn him, and some of the leaders say
that sooner than vote for him they would rather
vote for Grant outright. , This la the feeling here,
in the great political centre of the country, and,
I assure you, Itr finds a sympathetic response
from their political friends in every part of the
ti n ion.
A NOVEL' OFFER TO FAY- TUE NATIONAL DEBT.
Secretary McCulloch to-day received a letter
from Baltimore. enclosing a two-cent piece, to
appropriatedbe towards paying off the . national
debt. The writer, who professed to be a woman,
'wrote in a neat, cleridy hand, the following,
width is singularly suggestive :
"Baimmorre, Oct. 10, Hug
Cul - loch,- Secretary of the Treasury—Sut: I see it
stated in a newspaper that "two cents, placed at
Interest for 2,000 years. will pay off the national
debt." It is not stated at what interest, and I
have not the time to enter into a calculation to
'eat the truth or falsity of the assertion even if
the rate per cent. were given, nor ca nt wait to
nurse suelvan investment,lbut taking for granted
`that the statement in eorrect, I will not begradze
the amount, and so enclose it to be applied by
you according to your best
,judgment. When
you have done this, how idle will be all the talk
of repudiation, and the world will 'learn that,
after all, the national debt is but a two-cent
"Yours truly, •
'IA BALTIMORE WO3l 14. X."
"P. S.—l do not wish you to pnt this contribu
tion to' the conscience fund, but apply it to the
paymentof the National debt" - •
Secretary McCulloch has turned it over to Gen.
Spinner,United States Treasurer,who has, as yet,
made no disposition of this liberal donation from
one of the fair ladles of Baltimore.

PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17; 18681
:POLMOMm
TBE LAST DEMOCRATIC BOVE.
The Press on the 44 neliCtiOn..,
—The New York Sun is very facetious over the
proposed withdrawal of Seymour and Blair. It
saye:
•`The World has arrived at the point which the
Sun occupied months ago. Is it too late?
"The World —evidently contemplating the time
required by a setting hen to hatch her eggs—
says: 'We have still nearly three weeks for
action.'
"We admit that it is a little late. The SW*
advice should have been taken earlier. Bat then,
if the eggs are only half hatched, it will be just as
well mil() have them addled.
"One advantage would be that ft would keep
up the party organization intact for eight years
to come. There is no likelihood that Grant will
serve as President more than two terms. No
President has ever done it. And the movement
to elect his successor may as well be began at
once.
"The forty the sand dollars contributed by
Heimbold can be appropriated to repainting the
banners. Seymour can easily be touched up so
as to convert him into a good enough Chase until
after election. Blair's moustache would require
a little straightening, and his cheeks some filling
up, and he would pass for Hancock. Changing
into another man is no more of a change than
Blair would make any time for the sake of en
election.
"It is not reasonable to suppose that so vital a
change as that of the candidates Is proposed by
our neighbor without consultation with Governor
Seymour. We commend his prudence in con
senting to withdraw. Why should he linger
merely to be defeated ?
"Seymour is a good man; a good man to live
at Utica; a good authority on water-melons; he
has a large stock of copper on hand, and might
go into the copper trade. He is a good candidate
to withdraw. He said when he accepted that he
could not accept with honor.
"As for Blair, we don't think it is a good sea
son for Blairs; they seem to be troubled with the
blight. To give them their due,however, it must
be admitted that they don't hurt a party much if
they don't belong to it.
"We are rather proud, we confess, of our con
quest of the World, if it has taken some time to
make it. We never knew before just how Alex
ander felt when he sighed for more World] to
conquer. It isn't a bad feeling at all."
—Brick Potneroy's 'Democrat - pitches Into - the
World and its proposition in this way:
"Thus this petted organ of the bondholders,
which has been plotting treason against me plat
form ever since its adoption, and, as an effect.
working for the defeat of the ticket, is new
coming out directly against the ticket as well as
the platform, and is proposing an abandonment
of all thedistinctive principles of Democracy,and
an acceptance of all the odious dogmas of the
NewXngland politicians and.
dfanatics—Federal
ism, Abolitionism, negro suffrage. ratline-ye
tariffs, botulism, and an alliance of the Middle
and BoUthern Atlantic States Democracy with
New England, against those mighty communities
which occupy the seat of future empire upon the
Mississippi and its tributaries."
And again :
"A column and a' half of double leaded cow
ardice and treasonappears in the bondholders'
organ of this' morning, counseling a backing
down from somebody or something, and, so far
as its influence goes, arresting and confusing the
Democratic ranks in their pride of strength,after
the great and brilliant achievements of this
week, and at a moment when all true men are
'falling in' and 'closing up, for the grand, de
el/3lva charge of November."
`heN. Y.: tri4lillitlitsmmers-st its:theory.
This morning it Says '
"The events of the, last feiv days have made
msnifPst to, the Democracy, and to its enemies as
well, the determined,. the indomitable spirit with
which it faces the contest soon to . beivaged, not
, in four States only, but from the centre of the
-,Republic to its verge; the invincible courage with
which it rises on the very morrow of a defeat;
and the ardor with which it Closes up its ranks,
repairs its lines, makes's:olio:Cita columnd, and de
mands of its statesmen, its chosen leaders, that
they point the way to victory.
"So far is the spirit of our people from being
cast down, so far are their hearts from being dis
mayed with the dread of a rep,etitiou in Novem
ber of the adverse result of the October elections,
' that there rises up with an
,unanimous and un
forced accord from everyrank and every column
of our gallant hosts the voice of an invincible
courage, proclabiling their confidence that vic
tory can and shall be theirs.
"But an army without leadership is a helpless
mob, no matter how gallant may be every soldier
in its files. The Democratic hosts stand serene
and indomitable, looking, to their chosen leader
for the new order of battle which shall marshal
them to a triumphant day and a not inglorious fu
ture.
"It is the Mug:lncas of leadeisstO lea& It IS
never so much the duty of stzsteiugen.to be states
men as when a majority of thOpepple demand,
and a large majority of the ppeople do demand,
that they shall be so marshalled and so lead as to
assure the victory which belongs to them ; so
marshalled and so lead as to put to route and ut
terly destroy the revolutionists and the usurpers
who have brought the - structure of the Govern
ment to its present chaos, and all our present ca
lamities upon a free and prosperous people.
"The crisis is supreme. Bat the hearts of the
Democracy do not fail them. 'They stand stead
fast, conscious of the fateful issues which hang
trembling upon the hour, and await the inspiring
voice and the authentic word."
—The rebel Baltimore Sun advocates the World's
plan
It Is certain that the leaden) appredste the
dangers of the sitnation_, and are ready for any
movement upon the political chess-board which
would seem to glysithe Democracy the advantage
of position in thelit.'lt is argued that the party
•cannot afford to run any risks at this time; that
something should be .sacrificed to expediency to
break the backbone of Radical - m,and that no in
_dividual,howe6 r-prominentishouldl i epermitLed
to stand aaan bnpediment in the way oflho pro
gress of the party.
—;-The Brooklyn Eagle says:
The World would have been base or insane be
yond precedent, if it had issued such an article as
that of yesterday wittionk knowing wjiereof, it
spoke, and being well assured that it had the ath.
thority of the candidates whom It proposed
to , abandon, for announcing, their de
sire to have the names of other candidates sub
stituted for their awn: We feel justified, there
fore after the recurrence to the • subject in this
morning's World, in assuming .the more than
probability of Chief Justice Chase, with a Vice
President of purely conservative antecedents and
character, being placed before the Democracy for
their suffrages, and in discussing the probable ef
fect of such nominations.
—The New` York iierad this Morning says:
The 4Manhattan Club politicians and some
Western and Washington wiseacres have set
their heads together_ancLivant Seymour and Blair
to =withdraw from -the contest; -- But — that arc
they going to do with their platform? If they
desire to get rid of, their candidates'they "must
go the whole hog" and , throw their stupid plat
form overboard 'as
-The New York Tribune says:
The Democrats are • welcome- to throw Frank
Blair, overboard if they choose. It is not of the
slightest consegßence, so-far, as the Vice-Presi
dency „of the. United States; for the next four
years is concerned; what they do. Bat we pro
test against this sneaking way of aoing it under
false pretenses. Thetteublols not with their can
didates—at least- not with Blair: He honestly
and manfully- says What they mean. If the

CEbTRAL CO3IMITTEE PRILADEL£MA,• October
16, 1868. Comrada Yon have turned the flank
of your old enemy, and he is in fall retreat; bat
Sou most not pause for an instant in your par
pun. Follow him up and press him upon all
Odes, until he is politically annihilated, and For
rest'nd Wale Hampton have' surrendered in the
isst ditch. By the wayside you will find many
heretofore misguided men, who will gladly join
your victorious column. To all such yon should
extend the band of welcome, and forget the past.
Be not blinded by the declaration that the Op
position have given up the fight. Place no re
liance in rumors of change of candidates. These
things are simply weak inventions of the enemy,
intended to induce you to halt in your forwar
m ovement. Keep up your organizations of
"Boys in Blue." Let them, in fact, be 'perma
nent institutions in this generation. Let them
continue, glorious monuments of a noble fight,
for which your children's children shall bless
you.
Let your efforts be solely devoted to increasing
the vote of last Ttieedo.Y. and by this meaaa
demonstrate how overwhelming would have
been your triumph had. the gantr of rebel vaga
bonds who invaded the city of Philadelphia been
required by their allies at their own homes.

The Memphis Poet unearths the following ap
peal from the butcher Forrest, who Is now one of
the leaders of the demoralized Democracy:
On May 18, 1862, Gen. Forrest published the
following call for troops in the Avalanche :
I will receive two hundred stout, able-bodied
men, If they will present themselves at my head
qmrters by the first of June, with good horse
and gun. I wish none but those who 'lake to be
actively engaged.. My headquarters, for the pre
sent, is at Corinth, Miss.. Come on, boys, if you
want a heap of fun, and kill some Yankees.
N. B. Fonnr-sT,
Colonel Commanding Forrest's Regiment.
If he so heartily enjoyed "killing Yankees"
only six years ago, whc can doubt--after reading
bin speech at Brownsville and reading his inter
view with the correspondent of a Cincinnati
paper—that we shall not see, cm long, a similar
advertisement again in nnr city papers?
Georgia Democrats Repudiating flair
ATLANTA, Oct. 16.—The Democratic Executive
Committee of Georgia publishes the following
to-day
Whereas, It has been represented by Republi
can speakers in the present canvass that the
Southern people are in favor of the reestablish
ment of slavery in their respective States, and
will commence by depriving the blacks of the
right of suffrage; for the purpose of meeting this
allegation, and giving it positive denial, be it
Resalred, By the Central Committee of the De
mocratic party in Georgia, representing the peo
ple of the State, that the oharge is unequivocally
false; that for evidence that they do not desire to
reestablish elavery,and could not effect it, if they
wonld, we refer to the fact this State has assented
to and ratified the Amendment to the Constitu
tion of the United States, forever abolishing
Slavery and involuntary servitude, except for
crime, whereof the party shall be le,gally con
victed ; that we reiterate the position talnan
by this Committee in a late address, and in
the report of the Committee on the State of the
Republic, adopted by the House of Representa
tives in the Legislature of this State, on the 26th
ult.; that we also endorse the address of General
Robert E. Lee and others in response to the letter
from General Rosecrans; that we acquiesce in
the present status of the colored race among ns,
and will protect that race to the full extent of
our power in the exercise of the right of suffrage
seemed to them by -the Constitution of the
United States and amendments thereto, and by
the Constitution and laws of this State.
E. G. Ctuamss, Chairman.
Rebel Approval of the St. Landry Mas-
—The Franklin (La.) Banner says :
The people generally are well satisfied with the
result of the tat. Landry riot,only they-regret that
the carpet-baggers escaped. They are satisfied
that the white people of St. Landry tried their
best to avert the calamity, that they warned the
negroes again and again against bringing nn a
fight, but the carpet-baggers having defeated the
peaceful intentions of the Democrats by telllnr,
the negroes that the white people were afraid of
them, that the nigioes were ten to one of the
whites and could crush the • white
population in an instant, a fight Was inev
itable. It was the last and only effectual argu
ment that could be used with the negro. The
negroes are to be pitied, but if they will not listen
to honeat men, and choose to follow a. set of
miserable, lying, thieving strangers they must
take the consequences. A carpet-bag editor and
his miserable, incendiary sheet caused the riot.
The editor escaped, and a hundred dead negroes,
and perhaps a hundred more wounded and
crirpled, a dead white Radical, a dead Democrat,
and three or four wounded Democrats are the
upshot of the business.
The South Carollna Democracy Fol-
Cotumnre, Oct. 16.—The State Central Execn
live Club unanimously adopted the resolution
presented by Wade Hampton, approving Lee's
letter to Roseerans. The sense of the Club is de
cidedly in favor of qualified negro suffrage. An
nedress to the people is to be issued' in a few
days.
The returns came in slowly last night, and al
though at the hour we write this (2.30 A. M.)
they still fag, yet sufficieuthave been received, to
indicate the defeat of the Democrats in Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and Indiana. They have made_
brave and determined fight, and have gained a
few members of Congress, though not to
the extent anticipated; and although' the
majorities against them are not large,
vet it : is useless to attempt to conceal the fact
that the verdict of yesterday virtually decides the
Presidential election.' Our people must make
up their minds to the fact that Grant will be the
nest President. We earnestly hope that the ap
prehensions so generally entertained of the evil
that will follow this result will not be realized,
but that a new ore of peace, quiet and prosperity
may dawn on the country.
Qualified Negro Suffrage Urged on
, the South.
(From the .Raleigh (N. C.) Standard, Oct. 13.)
We have learned from what we deem good
authority that an agent is now travel
ing tlirough' the South by authority
of the Democratic National Executive
Committee at New York, and that lie has been
in Raleigh, where he had a conference with tli -
Demoeratic Executive Committee of, this State.
Ho represented to that Commiue that there is no
hope of electing Snythour unless a change is
made in the principles upon which the campaign
is being conducted, and requested thism to adopt
a plank declaring in favor of qualified negro
suffrage. , After mature deliberation,that was im
peratively rejected. •

A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazelle sends
tills important intelligence from Rome:
The Pope will shortly promulgate another En
yelleal. addressed to the Bishops of the Church
of England and other. Protestant communions,
inviting them to attend the (Ecumenical Council
on December 8, 1869. This document, it is said,
will be more lengthy than that despitched to the
schismatic Bishops of the East, and will dwell on
the importance of Christiana of all •persuasion
meeting together to discuss amicably their reli
gious differendes and endeavor to come into ac
cord. •
The Pope and Spain.
' The Vatican and the Roman official world have
been greatly agitated by the events in Spain,
though the public telegrams are considertd to ex
aggerate the importance of the insurrection. The
messages received at the Spanish .P.mbassy and
by the Spanish prince in the Pontifical Zonavea,
as well as those. forwarded to the Vatican by
Monsignor Franck!, Nnncio atliadrid, represent
affairs in a light much more favorable to the
Queen. It is believed at the Vatican that the revo
lutiott has been got up by the Duke de kiontppro
sier t prompted by Count Bismarck, who Is trying
by this movement to force Napoleon from his at
titude of inaction.
Rumors of War.
General Dumont has returned to Rome, and
held a meeting with the superior officers of the
Pontifical army, to whom he said,'"Gentlemen,
get all ready. Soon, perhaps, you will be called
to combat by the side of the soldiers of Franca
against the common enemy." The General made
loud complaints to the Pontifical Minister of
War of the delay in completing the new arma
ment of the troops; and, in consequence of these
remonstrances, commissioners are to be des
patched to England, France and Belgium to
hurry the delivery of the Remington rifles. Pre
parations for war, indeed, are being
made here on every side. At Civita Vecchia
the French are enlarging the barracks,
and are building a barrack for cavalry.
They continue to disembark heavy guns, atrium
nition and supplies, and have just received an
ambulance equipment. The war fever has seized
the partisans ofthe Pope at Rome, and, not to be
outdone by French and Belgians, they are sub
scribing to present his Holiness with two batte
ries of rifled cannon. Ail this ardor in his cause
has pnt the Holy Father in good spirits. List
Monday be walked through the streets from Pin
clo to the Piazza of Venice, and, on returning to
the Vatican, rubbed his hands together, est/lam

over my enemies and then I shall be ready to
render up my Bonito God."

--A letter from 'Andalusia says:
"Much hostile feeling prevails, against the
priesthood, who all belong to the fallen party;
and it is to their baneful influence over, the
Queen that her present unpopularity Is to, be
chiefly attributed. The kvicario' here at first re
fused to give up the key," of the church to allow
the bells to be rung, but, being told that if he did
not the doors would be forced, he gave in. •At
Seville ,the Jesuits were allowed twenty

into a school for the children of the poor. The

Insults ,to the 'queen.
—A correspondent writes from Madrid:
'The Queen's position is by no means an ein

by her old admirers, who are actually In arms
against her (Serrano for instance), she has been
bumbled to the very dust. It is repprted thrrt ebb
is not devoid of personal courage. When strdngly
urged to quit• the Miserable place in which
she has been residing, at San Sebastian; lest it
should be taken, by surprise by her enemies,
she replied, 'Let them dare to come. - I shall
know how to defend , myself.' It ,appears ,that
her Majesty deapatched a special envoy to Mar
shal Serrano. (We all. tecollect 1110 storY Of the
imprisonment of this handsome Don Juan in one
of thepetits appartementa of the 'palace at Arad-

she charged her envoy , was as follows: " The.
