1 HE SPANISH REIVICTIATION.
The Days of Priestly Rule Ended.
—Mr. Russell, writing from Spain to the Lon
don Times, says : "A cr) has already been raised
against the Jesuits, who were excluded from
Spain by morelhan one law, but who had found
the wens of creeping in under the Queen's pa
tronage, and had two or three convents and col
leges in the provinces. With the Queen's depsr
tare the golden days of priestly rule arc probably
over forever in Spain. No one can give me
tidings of Sor Patroelnio, the Bleeding Nun, or
of the Queen's Confessor. Father Claret, Arch
bishop of Traianopolls. The Pope's Nuncio also
is nowhere to be seen. The Queen's Inten
dente, Marforl, accompanied his royal mis
tress in her night. It is said that upon Concha's
remonstrating 'with the Queen on the subject of
her unworthy favorite, Her Majesty tiew into a
great passion, and declared that the Spaniards
were on pueblo indecente. Maria Christina has re
quested the French government to send a man
of-war to tape her out of Gijon, where she has
been staying for some time. sic transit. If 'Sir
George Bowyer wishes to know something about
tior Putrocinio, the Bleeding Nun, I will send
him n copy of her trial for the most infamous
imposture. and of her condemnation, in 1835.
As to Father Claret, all I can say is that Sir
George Bowyer would not find many persons in
Slain now willing to share his opinions."
A British OUan•ot-War at the queen's
Dt&posal.
A private letter from San Sebastian mentions
the curious fact that when on the 27th of Septem
ber a British man-of-war entered that harbor the
belief spread laic wildfire among the people that
she Lau come to bombard the place. Old asso
ciations bad so accustomed them to think that
ihe English always'inpport the Liberal cause in
St ain that they made sure that—as on the sth of
Slay, %lien Evans stormed the Carlist lines
round San Sebastian and some British war
steamers assisted his advance by their fire—they
should soon see British shot and shell flying
ashore. It soon became known, however,.that
the vessel had come on a pacific mission and
min orders to place herself at the Queen's dls
po,..l,should she have need of refuge or transport.
Isabella's Life at Pau.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily Newa
- I,ahella is installed in the old castle of Henri
Quatre at Pau, where everything was prepared
and reedy to receive her. She occupies the
rmuller apartments, decorated with Flanders and
Got chaos tupestrits. A private letter says the
Queen since her arrival, has spent her time be
aPei II the little drawing- room and the chapel,
wherein the ex-Bishop of Cuba says mass every
day. A prefect of the Tuileries, and a certain
number of men belonging to the Imperial house
hold, are on duty In the Chateau de Pan, as regu
larly as in any other palace. Queen Christina,
Isabella's mother, who was visiting her large
estates In the Asturias when the final blow was
struck, Is expected at Pan daily, and the mother
and daughter will be able to meditate over human
and royal vicissitudes.
• • • "When the Queen saw herself power
less and friendless,she wrote.aletter to Espalier°,
the purport of which was as follosys: *You have
already saved my dynasty;you shall save It again.
As to myself, I am no longer anything,und I wish
tor nothing; but here is the Prince of the Astn
las,whom I throw into your arms and canfide to
your care. What von have done for me you
aball do for him.' It appears that the letter was
expansive and touching, but the little prince had
to Le persuaded to have the Queen, and the
mother had to make up her mind to separate
from the child. The latter, though too young to
be conscious of the position, Carr that something
was going wrong, threw himself into the Queen's
arms and wept bitterly. Isabella broke down
at once, burst into tears, tore up the letter,
and abandoned all idea of appealing to Es
partero."
QUCCII Isabella's Proclamation.
The following is the text of the proclamation
lksued by Queen Isabella on her arrival at Pau:
"TO Ttiit Si•Atilannsi A conspiracy, for which
the history of no European people offers a par
allel. has just flung Spain into all the horrors of
anal lily. The army and navy, which the nation
so generously kept up, and whose services 1 have
always been so happy to reward, forgetting
glorious traditions and trampling upon the most
sacred oaths, turn against their country, and In
volve her in mourning and desolation. The cry
of the rebels, raised In Cadiz Bay and repeated in
a few provinces by part of the army, must echo
in the hearts of the immense majority of Spaniards
as the forerunner of a storm which perils
the interests of religion, the principles of
legLimacy and right, and the independence and
honor of Spain. The lamentable series of defec
tons, the acts of incredible disloyalty which
have occurred within so short a space of time, of
fend my dignity as a Spaniard, even more than
they affect my dignity is a Queen. Let not the
greatest enemies of authority themselves, in
their insane dreams, imagine that a power which
emanates from so high an authority can be con
ferred, modified or suppressed b y the interven
tion of brute force, under the impulse of deluded
soldiers. If the towns and the provinces, yield
ing to the first pressure of violence, submit for a
time to the yoke of the insurgents, soon public
feeling, bunt% its inmost and noblest parts, will
shake off its torpor and show the world that the
eclipse of reason and of honor in Spain cannot
last long. Until that time arrives I have thought
proper, as Queen of Spain,and after due delibera
tion andi sound advice, to seek in the State of an
august ally the security requisite to enable me to
act, under these difficult circumstances, in con
formity with my position as a Queen, and with
the duty that devolves on me to transmit unim
paired to my son my rights, sanctioned by law,
acknowledged, and Sworn to by the nation, and
fortified by thirty-five years of sacrifice, vicissi
tudes, and tender affection. While setting foot
on a foreign soil my heart and eyes turned toward
that which is the land of my birth and that of my
children. I hasten to frame my explicit and for
mal protest before God and before mankind, de
elating that the force to which I
yield in leaving my kingdom cannot in
validate my rights, nor lessen nor compromise
them in any way, Neither can those rights be
affected in any way by the acts of the Revolu
tionary Government, and still lees by the regula
tions of its assemblies, which must needs be
formed under the pressure of demagogic fury,
and under obvious conditions of violence as re
gards the conscience and will of the people. Our
fathers maintained a protracted but successful
struggle for the religious faith and the indepen
dence of Spain. The present generation has un
ceasingly toiled to connect all that was great and
glorious in past ages with whet modern times
contain that is sound and fruitful. Revolution,
that mortal foe to traditions and legitimate
progress, wars against ail those prin
ciples which constitute the vital
strength, the soul, and the manhood of the
Spanish nation. Liberty in its unlimited expan
sion and in all .its manifestations, attacking
-Catholic unity-the-monarchy,- and the legalex--
ereise of power, disturbs family ties, destroys the
sanctity of the domestic hearth, and kills virtue
and patriotism. If you think that the crown of
Spain, worn by a Queen whose fortune it has
been to connect her name with the social and
political regeneration of the State, be the
symbol of those sound principles, you will,
as .I hope, remain faithful to your
oaths and to your creed—you will allow
to pass away nit a scourge the revolutionary
vortex, in which ingratitude, felony and ambi
tion jostle each other—you will live in the assur
ance that even in the hour of misfortune I shall
omit nothing to uphold that symbol, apart from
which Spainhas not a single endearing recollec
tion, not a single sustaining hope. The insane
pride of a few is, for a time ,upsetting and dis
tracting the whole nation, throwing men's souls
into a state of confusion, and society into a state
of anarchy...There_ is no rdoitt in my heart for
`hatred even against that small nuthher. 'I should
fear lest any feeling of potty resentment should
weaken the feeling of deep tenderness I entertain
toward those loyal men who have risked their lives
and shed their blood in defence of the throne and
public order, and toward all those'Spaniards who
witness with grief and-terror- a triumphant in
surrection—a shameful page in the history of our
PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1868.
civilization. In the noble land whence I now ad
dress you and everywhere, I will deplore, with
out allowing myself to be overcome, the misfor
tunes of my beloved Spain, which are my own.
Had I not to support me, among many others,
the example of the moat venerable of sovereigns,
a model of resignation and courage, also a prey
to bitter tribulations, I should derive strength to
do so from my confidence in the loyalty of my
subjects, from the justice of my consaand, above
all, from my trust in the power of Him who
holds the fate of empires in His hands.
"A monarchy embodying fifteen centuries of
struggles, patrlotlem,victorres and grandeur,can
pot be destroyed by fifteen days of perjary and
treason. Let ns have faith In the future—the
glory of the Spanish people was ever connected

lell heavily on the people. In my firm and par
triotic hope that right, honor and legitimacy wil
be maintained, your minds and your efforts will
ever unite with the energetic decision and materl
ual affection of your Queen. ISAISELLA.

Commercial Convention.
Nongoek, Va., Oct. 17.—The final proceedings
of the Commercial Convention which assembled (
in this city on last Wednesday, for the purpose
ufplacing in successful operation the direct.
trade project and consolidation of the Virginia,
Tennessee and other Southern railroads, in order
to afford a rapid transit to the East of the pro
ducts of the Mississippi and Ohio valleys, were
of an iuteresting and important nature. The
large number of delegates in attendance upon
the convention, about twenty-five hundred in all,
represented all the commercial interests, in their
various phases, of the States whose future wel
t are and prosperity will be Immediately advanced
by the ultimate success of the enterprise, while
numerous visitors from other Southern States
manifested by their presence in the
eity,und the hearty concurrence they gave to the
resolutions adopted by the. convention and other
measures, calculated at least, to command
tee respect,if not the assistance of Northern-cap
italists, that the future and near prospects of the
reticule being carried into snecessfal op
eration were not of an entirely vague and un
certain nature. The liberality displayed by the
people of this city in the lavish reception which
Lity extended to the large number of delegates
nd visitors, and the expensive preps.-
] ations which were made by the
limited number of moneyed and energetic men' o
CI fiord an opportunity to the representative mon
of the South to view the harbor of Norfolk and
its admirable access to the sea, and form a per
sonal judgment of the practicability of carrying
out the designs of the convention, furnished a
striking evidence of the sincerity and determina
tion animating the citizens to advance, if possi
ble, the commercial interests of this Southern
port, and to place her in the position of an em
porium of trade and gateway to States whose in
terests are so intimately and closely connected
with hers.
The utter absence of all political allusions of
any kind amidst the proceedings of the Conven
tion, and the harmony and co-operation existing
among the delegates which characterized the en
tire session of the Convention, formed a feature
which attracted the good wishes 'and best feel
ings of persons of all shades of politics tempor
arily sojourning or :settlers in this Southern
townuand a unanimity of opinion consequently
exists, that even If the cherished desires of the
Southern States to attain this important object
should never be accomplished, the fraternal feel
logs which have been fostered, and the kindly in
change of sentiment and opinion which prevailed,
cannot but be otherwise than productive of valu
able business advantages to Inc city. Delegates
from the mountains of North Carolina and West
ern Virginia, from Tennessee, Kentucky and
other Southern and Southwestern States, from
the regions intersected by the railroads hicb
are proposed to be consolidated by this enter
prise, united in expressing the earnest demand of
their people for the adoption of wise and practi
cable measures that would secure the speedy suc
cess of the scheme.
The Convention met at nine o'clock yesterday
morning, and listened to the appeal made by
Bon. T. S. Flournoy, of Va., in behalf of the
Norfolk and Great Western Railroad, and ad
journed after an tour's session, to visit Lil 3 Capes
ot Virginia, Fortress Monroe and other objects ot
interest. The delegates again assembled at 6.30
Y. M., and adopted the following preamble arid
resolutions, offered by J. R. Clapp,of Tennessee
Whereas, The construction of a railroad to the
Pacific Ocean, accessible to the Statts lying south
of the Ohickriver, and the establishment of a line
of steamships from the port of Norfolk to some
European port, were the leading objects for the
promotion of which this convention was called.
.4 rid whereas, The railroad to the Pacid..! now
in the course of construction, being north of the
10th degree of north latitude, will, in consequence
of its remoteness, be practically unavailable to
tne States referred to, which, in their impover
ished condition, will be unable to secure connec
tions with the same, and will probably, from cli
matic causes, be unavailable fur any purpose
during a portion of the year.
Ard whereas, A bill is now pending in the
Congress of the United States, by the provisions
of which the Cairo and Fulton Railroad Company
of Arkansas, the Henderson, Marshall and Jeffer
son Railroad Company, and the Brazos Branch
Railroad Company, both of Texas, are authorized
to construct a connected line of railroads from a
point in Missouri opposite Cairo, by the way of
Little Rock, Arkansas, and Jefferson, Texas, to a
point on the Rio Grande river, in the direction
of San Blas, Mexico, which may be consolidated
into one road, to be called the International
Pacific Railroad, the object being to extend
the PAM to the Pacific Ocean, and by
the further provisions of which bill, the aid of
the Government of the United States is to be ex
tended as to said raod or roads upon the terms
stipulated in the bill. And whereas, a railroad has
been commenced, and is partially constructed,
from the city of Memphis, Tennessee, to Little
Rock. which, if completed, would be a direct
continuation or extension of the great thorough
fare now in operation from the. Atlantic seaboard
to the city of Memphis, and would, upon the
completion of the International Pacific Rail
road, constitute a line of communication
between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts,
shorter, by several hundred miles,
than the road running west from St. Louis,
and exempt from the climatic and topographical
difilculties, which mint ever greatly impair the
usefulness and value of that road. And, whereas,
the completion of the - road from Memphis to
Little Rock, which constitutes this most import
ant link of communication, has been and is sus
pended by the expense incident to its construc
tion, especially across the Mississippi bottom, so
as to place it beyond the reach of overflow, Which
expense, in consequence of the prostration of
the country most immediately interested, and
the almost total absence of resources along, the
route, cannot be met. Therefore,
Resolved. That this Convention entertains and
hereby expresses the earnest desire and hope that
the bill referred to in this foregoing pre
amble _maybe passesi_by _lke _ Congress of the
United States upon its re-assembling, and that it
may be so amended as to embrace in its provis
dons the road from Memphis to Little Rock, and
to place said road upon - the - same — footing, as to
Government aid as the other roads embraced
in the bill.
Re.solved, That when this Convention adjourns,
it adjourn to meet in the city of Memphis, at such
time as may he designated as most appropriate
by the Chamber of Commerce of that city.
General Imboden earnestly advocated the pas
sage of a resolution, which stated that the Con
vention believed it a %%1M policy on the part of
th railroads represented to agree to transport
all actual settlers from abroad as make their
homes in Virginia.
The Convention, after some discussions on
minor business details, adjourned to meet at the
call of the Memphis Board of Trade.
A grand torchlight' , procession wound up the
business and festivities of the delegates to the
convention, and this morningtrains boar to their
Senthern homes tho departing visitors and stran
gers, and Norfolk to-day has fallen - into 'a sober
and calm reflection upon her great enteXprise.
Time and events can only prove whether it ever
destined to reach•the digmtyof a fully matured
and successful project.
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
—The Hanlon Brothers, famous the world over
for their proficiency in acrobatic feats, will
begin a brief engagement at the Chestnut Street
Theatre this evening.
—Mr. E. L. Davenport, one of the most acconr
plished and versatile actors in the profession, will
appear for the first time in two years at the Wal
nut Street Theatre this evening, in Hamlet. Mr.
Davenport hat always been a favorite in this city,
and his talents, not more than his personal quali
ties, have earned for him such general popularity,
that he is certain of a hearty reception,
—Lotta will appear at the Arch to-night for the
first time in Falconer's play The Fire Fly. She
will sustain the character of one of those pretty
little impossibilities, the vivandiere of the stage.
The drama is so constructed that she is not only
the leading character in it, but she is upon the
stage nearly all the time.
—At the American this evening The Grand
Duchesa will be presented.
—This evening, at the Academy of Music, Rev.'
W. Morley Punshon, the celebrated English
orator, will lecture upon the theme "Florence
and her Memories." Those who heard Mr. Pun
shon last week will of course be eager to be pre
sent upon this occasion. We are assured that
the entertainment to-night will be even more
interesting than the last.
—Petroleum V. Nasby, P. M., will lecture at
Horticultural Hall on Wednesday evening next,
upon the text "Cursed be Canaan." Tickets can
be procured at Trumpler's and Claxton's.
—The Germania Orchestra has organized for
work by electing Mr. W. G. Dietrich—formerly
of the Richings Opera Troupe—Director, in place
of Mr. Schmitz, who has been compelled by the
demands of his business to withdraw. The
regular rehearsals of the orchestra will be given
on Wednesday afternoons, at Horticultural Hall,
beginning with Wednesday of this week. The
reason for the change of day is, that the mem
bers are very of ten engaged at matinees on Satur
day afternoons, and are consequently unable to
appear injull force. When they can do so. there
will also be performances on Saturdays, and ou
these occasions the usual programmes wlil be de
parted from, and whole symphonies will be given,
together with V iolin and violoncello solos. Mr.
Rudolph Hennig is the solo violoncellist of the
corol.any: and violinists of the highest class are
to be found in the ranks of the orchestra. The
Germania now numbers twenty-eight tirst-rate
performers. The following programme has been
arranged for Wednesday next:
1. triN iture, Semiramide.. ............. ....G. Rossini
Y. SCII "Wiedemehen" .......
Cornet Solo, performed Gy J. Dunn
3. Almnetes Taenze "Waltz" ..
4. Andante con muto, frum sth Symphony,
L v. Beethoven
Overture, Oberon NE C. v. Weber
tt. Air de Ba'let, from Robert Meyerbeer
violncello Solo, by R. Rennig.
7. Be.3ection from "Don tiebastian".... ..... Donizettl
81 '..IN Z ORCHESTRA MATINEES.—Tbe disappoint
ment at tile nonperformance of Mendelssohn's
great Reformation Symphony was inevitable, as
the orchestra had studied it under the instruction
of Carl Sentz, and unfortunately just previous to
the concert be was stricken with severe and
sudden illness, so that his place had to be
quickly supplied. Mr. Simon Hassler kindly
constnted to lead the orchestra and the pro
gramme was necessarily changed. The perform
ance was an excellent one and everybody was
pleased with it. We are assured that the Refor
mation Symphony will certainly be given on
Saturday, 31st inst., and, we may add, with more
perfection from the more frequent and careful
rehearsals now possible to be bestowed upon it.
The Musical Fund Hall was crowded by the elite
and fashion of our city, and there was frequent
and warm expression of satisfaction at the per
formances. Messrs. Seam and Hassler are now
on the high road to successful fruition of
their wiilkiireete& efforts. On next Sat
urday, 24th instant, will be performed for
the first time in America, the wonder
fully beautiful and already celebrated
"i"uflnislied Symphony" by Sch nbert.---Franz

but not from inclination. Musical talent
atounded in his family, and the little Franz took
part in quartettes with his father and two bro
thq's, thus receiving early advantages in the
study of the construction of instrumental music.
His name is more known among us by his
many and excellent songs, which, coming to
us in a French dress., misled many worthy alm
a urs,who supposed him'to be of la grantle nation,
and thence took special pains to show their Gallic
dilettantism by pronouncing the composer's
name in a way to shock the national allLolll
- , p 7 eof his compatriots. But his genius for
composition took a wider range than HOILTS, and
his hand has been felt and recognized in ora
torios, cantatas, masses,operas, piano -forte sona
tas,overtures and symphonies.
Schubert's life was one of struggles, disap
pointments and failures, and it must be confessed
that it reflects but little credit on the critical taste
of European publishers and audiences, that his
orks have only grown into a real and honest
favor since his too early death. "The flippancy
of taste displayed 'by the more fashionable con
cert-goers in Vienna," has been condemned by
more than one earnest critic.
Many of Schubert's beantiful and most merito
rious compositions would have been lost to the
world but for the active researches of Alexander
W. Thayer, an American gentleman, and Robert
Schumann, the German critic and composer.
Schumann pays Schubert a glowing tribute in
the following eloquent words, when ho describes
him as "the painter, rich in fancy, whose brush
was dipped equally deep in moonshine and in the
flame of the sun." Among the gems recovered
by Schumann were Schubert's chef ci'murre, the
great symphony in E, and the two movements of
the Unfinished Symphony in B minor.
The free and flowing style of Schubert's mo
tives in his instrumental compositions has been
ascribed—no doubt justly—to his studies in com
position under Gellert; but, besides, he had per
haps a tendency to graceful melody, and, could
have scarcely failed to be somewhat under the
influence of the great Italian maestri, who have
for several generations made Vienna familiar
with the caps d'opera of the Augustan ago of
music, as illustrated there by Porpora and his
pupil Haydn; by Tomaso Trajotta, the master of
Joseph the Second and Maria Theresa; and other
lesser lights down to the period of Rossini, who
flourished in Schubert's time, and whose biogra
pher writes that "he acknowledged that he had
learnt much in the art of instrumentation from
the light-winged Italian, and he would not listen
to those pedants who censured Rossini as the
destroyer of musical taste."
An opposite effect wa= produced, however, on
Beetboven,"who refused to see Ressini,called him
a scene painter, and admitted grudgingly that he
would have been a good composer if his master
had flogged him more." A laughable anecdote
is told,of Beethoven's anti-Italian feeling, when,
at the table-d'hOte of the Mats-chaker-Hot the
head-quarters of the musicians in Vienna, where
they would meet to lounge over the gossip of
their art—he and his pupil Ries would sit yis-a
cis to Clementi and his pupil Klengal, and not a
word would pass between them, much to the die
gust of the pupils, who knew each other by
sight, as did the composer of Fidelio, and the great
pianist author of Gradus ad Pamassuin. Beetho•
ven insisted upon a form of visit from Clementi
which was not en reyle in the etiquette of-polite
society. Hence they never came together.
The grandeur and massiveness of Beethoven's
compositions could not fail to make a deep im
prest ion upon Schubert's susceptible mind, and
he ix came a devoted follower of the great sym
phonist, which led naturally to disputes with
Galled for whom, however, he always showed
great affection and gratitude, for on the fiftieth
anniversary of Galleri's entry into the Emperor's
service, he confposed a vocal quartette and an
aria, as a tribute of respect,and subsequently ded
icated his three - string quartettes to him, signing
himself '!his mil. Franz Schubert."
Schubert's clearness of style can safely be traced
to the 4allan school, but ho has left its "art of
accompanithent" Lor what an English critic calls
"the tendoky of The German Songs to degene
rate into pirmo-forto studies with an accompani
ment for the.voice." However, after all, Schubert
is not au Italian composer, but belongs to the
MUSICAL AND DUALOIATIM:
German Romantic School, and in this genre he
has produced his last works, notably his Sympito-*
ales, Overtures and Sonatas, although his fame is
more spread abroad in his songs, which were so
popular in Paris—where they were introduced by
Nourrit—as to suggest a subject for a comedy to
Scribe, which has for title, Melodies de Schubert.
The Unfinished Symphony has only two move
ments entire, namely: Allegro Moderato. in
B minor, in 3-4 time; and Andante con mote, in E
major, in 3-8 time; the Srherzo was begun but
never finished. This, the Eighth Symphony, is
a posthumous work, and was composed in 1822.
The autograph score is in the possession of
Anselm Biittenbrenner, at Gratz, a friend of
Schubert; himself a composer who has arranged
Scbnbert's Symphonies for the piano. Spine, at
Vienna, published the score and parts in 1867,
and it thus has all the attractiveness of freshness
and newness. Wherever it has been heard it has
been received with expressions of pleasurable de
light. It is one of those works which, by its
clearness of score, its marked motives, its melodic
swavity, and well-adjusted proportions of move
ments, must commend itself alike to the admira
tion of the amateur and connoisseur.

!From the Alabama State, Journal.]
On yesterday evening lion. R. N. Barr. the
very worthy and distinguished member from
Monroe, received a letter from his wife, stating
that on Friday evening last some persons un
known set fire to his fine lumber mill, and all of
his outhouses at the same time, and they were all
borne to ashes.
Dr. R. N. Barr was at one time Surgeon-Gene
ral of the. State of Ohio, and after the war settled
in Alabama, bought himself a fine plantation in
Monroe county, and engaged in the planting of
cotton. Be lost immensely by this investment,
but rtill battled on against the adverse fortunes
that fate was throwing upon him. In Febru
ary last he was elected State Senator from hlon•
rce county, and daring his occupancy of his seat
has been noud for his prudent views, his har
monizing policy and strict integrity.
Some time since ho was threatened with the
torch, if he "didn't mind." Last Friday night
the dastardly and fiendish threat wits carried into
execution, and an American citizen's property
has been burned because he dared stand trite and
firm to the flag of his country.
Republicans of Alabama! The time to try
your stern devotion to principle, and to test
your Integrity has come. Stand true to the teach
ings of peace. Bear up yet a little while longer
under the terrible oppression that is up' n you.
Be prudent. Do not retaliate. Suffer almost
anything. We want no war. Stand true to the
flag of the Union and it will be true to you. The
oyes of the loyal north are upon us. They plead
with us to forbear. Let us do it, and in its Own
good time a power will rise up to crush rebellion
and reward loyalty.

The 'War Democrats.
The following call, signed by leading Demo
crats, appears in the N. Y. Times this morning:
Those of Democratic antecedents, who wish to
retain the entire Union upon principles that are
Joel;
Who believe that the debt incurred In suppress
ing the rebellion Is a sacred obligation;
Who insist that the plighted faith of the nation
shall not be violated, and that its name and
credit shall not be disgraced;
Who desire to treat the States lately in rebel
lion with lenient justice, but who will not consent
io surrender the Government to Southern rebels
-till insisting that the rebellion was right, and
still boasting of continued devotion to the "Lost
Cause;"
Who are opposed to the repudiatinz doctrines
of the New York platform, and to the revolu
tionary manifesto of one of its candidates;
And who believe that peace, safety and pros
perity for the whole country will be secured by
the election of General Grant. All such are re
quested to meet at the Cooper Institute, ou Wed
nesday evening, October 21, at 8 o'clock.
The following gentlemen have been invited and
will address the meeting•
Hon. Edwards Pierrepout, Hon. Henry G.
Bteblins, lion. Henry Nicoll, lion. William F.
Havemeyt r, Hon. Francis B. Cutting.
The N. Y. World this morning trays:
"The Democratic masses yearn for the truth
from the lips of the statesman who, besides be
ing their accepted candidate, has the clearest
head, the best gifts of utterance, the largest
povsir to command attention, the greatest moral
weight, of uuy man in the party. They
tto not desire him to prophecy smooth
deceits, but to tell them, in all honest plainness,
why they have failed, and how they may yet
succeed. A party cannot subsist on vaporing and
make-believe. Unless we can change the aspect
of the canvass, we shall have a repetition in No
vember of a result like that which has overtaken
us in the preliminary contest. If anybody tells
the people that things look well as they stand, or r
that nothing which can now be done would better
them, he is in the tint case dishonest, and in the
second mistaken."
A Little Fire Doctrine.
Henry Clay Dean, of lowa, author of the Pen
dleton scheme of paying the national debt by
giving the et editord non-interest-bearing pro-
mises, never to be paid, hi a recent speech before
a Copperhead meeting, expressed his mind as •to
the Lnion soldiers, as follows:
"If I could have my way, I would place Jeff.
Davis in Congress, where he richly belongs. Then
[ would go to Concord, take all the miserable
battle flags from the State Howe and make a
bop tire of them in the State House yard. I Great
applause.] Then I would go through the North
and destroy all the monuments and gravestones
erected to the memory of soldiers. In short, I
would put out of sight everything which remin
ded us that we ever had a war with our Southern
brethren.
"I do not know that I would hang one-leged
God
t
one-armed soldiers, but I would pray to
t o get thorn out of the way as soon as possible.
I Loud cheers. I"
Democratic Demoralization.
Brick Pomeroy's Democrat is gloomy over the
prospect. It says :
"The open treason of the World has for the mo
ment produced demoralization, to a limited ex
tent, in the Democratic ranks. But this is not its
worst effect. That Is an evil from which we shall
recover. We are the party of the country,
and must live as long as the country lives. This
Is not our last battle, but only ono of a series, by
which the Republic is finally to bo re
deemed. From our momentary de
pression we shall rise mowed in spirit and in
vigorated for action. But will It be in time to
save New York? The World has endangered us
even here, in our stronghold, and only the most
superhuman efforts will carry us through. Rally,
then ! Put treason under your feet, and push
right on, pierce the enemy's centre, and sweep
him from the field ! Now is the time to show
the sublime and unconquerable courage inspired
by principle and duty !",
The Resort of Desperate Mon.
"I would smash every ballot-box and burn every
poli-list, if necessary to sego the election of
Seymour and Blair, and thus save the country."
So said a leading Democratic politician of Rich
mond county yesterday, to a Republican neigh
bor, Dr. G-. The frenzy and maddened
desperation revealed in this passionate outburst
truthfully illustrates the temper of the Democratic
leaders to-day. They had set their hearts upon
a victory in November. Maine,
Vermont and
Connecticut pronounced against them, and from
that hour they determined that foul means if not
fair, should be resorted to for encompassing
their hopes and expectations.
