A MORDANT DEMOCRACY. I
As a shrewd comment upon the attempt
to create an impression that there is a wide
t liTergence among the friends of ANDREW
Jams°lr as to his restoration policy, and
c hronic differences of opinion between the
prominent men of the National Union
rarty, it may be mentioned that in New
York there is an open split in the Demo-
Odic ranks, because their State Conven
tion has declared in favor of the President's
reconstruction ; in Ohio the same discord
ant spectacle is presented ; in New jersey
there is only one Democratic platform,
which contains a resolution emphatically
hostile to the present General Administra
tion ; and in lowa, where an attempt was
made to get up what was called a Demo
cratic Soldiers' Convention, a large Stich
has been cut from what was before a con
siderable minority, which embodied itself
in another ticket, placed upon a platform
containing a resolution closing as follows :
That they will not Support General
BENTON, who is the Democratic candidate
for Governor, because" he is pledged to
the JOHNSON-SEWARD Administration so
long only as it tracks ha the ruts made for it
by his political saint, Mr. LINCOLN."

the remains of the Democratic party
LETTER FROM" OCCASIONAL.”
WAsarrio•row, October 4, 1865
Before any of the people of Pennsylvania
vote against the Union candidates on Tues
day nest, they should ask themselves the
plain question : what near or remote good
they hope to accomplish by such a suffrage ?
There are ten thousand righteous reasons
why they should declare in .favor of these
candidates ; but I cannot see one why they
should oppose them. If they think they
would be aiding the Southern people by
such a course, they cannot too soon dismiss
that delusion. There is hardly one thing
that the Southern people have don; since
the rebellion, that the record does not
show the Democratic leaders to have op
posed. This is strikingly true of their ap
proval of the Abolition amendment of
the National Constitution, of their repeal
of the black codes of • their respec
tire States, of their repudiation of the
rebel debts, State and General, and of
their admission of the rTeeitrnen to the
rights accorded to the colored popuhatea.
elsewhere. If you tell me that these vast
results were accomplished by compulsion,
or in fear of the strong arm of the Govern
ment, what effect, then, can Democratic
victories now produce but undo what has
been yielded, and throw back into anarchy
and disaffection the communities who
have been so forward in the work of re
habilitation and redemption? Millions of
Anieriums, of all conditions, are directly
interested in the national securities. Will
the triumph of the men who have resisted
the financial policy of the GoVernment,
and who continue to do so—who are even
now demanding that these securities should
Le taxed by the respective States—and
who have steadily refused to invest in
the Government bonds--be good news to
the classes who have felt their little earn
ings secure in the funds of the Government,
and have rejoiced at the punctuality with
which their interest has been paid ? Repu
diation is dtgicate ground to touch; and yet,
under the policy of the Democratic leaders,
it would soon be classed among the proba
bilities ; for it will only need their restora
tion to power to create and strengthen the
_hope of the recent rebels, of ultimately pay
ing the rebel war debt, or of prompting
them to oppose the payment of their share
of the taxes to meet the expenses of the Go-
Ternment, and the interest on our national
debt. That they can in any way gratify
President Johnson by voting with the party
that has never given him a substantial word
of encouragement, and nothing but scoffs
athblows since the outbrdak of the rebellion,
until he ascended to the seat of patronage,
iS best proved by his own course. All his
immediate friends are members ottha Na
tional Union party. He has never ap
pointed a Copperhead to office. He retains
and reposes confidence in the men most
bitterly assailed by these same Copper
heads ; and with rare Txceptions, his whole
programme for the future, including these
radical measures by which he still restrains
and punishes the instruments of the trai
tors, is cordially supported by the leading
statesmen of the National Union organi
zation. Think of these plain truths before
your coming election. OCCASIONAL.

WASHINGTOIV, Oct. 4.—A. lifoesner testified
that after he had been taken prisoner to An
dersonville be. was paroled and sent to Capt.
Wirz , s office as clerk ; he had to carry orders
to the stockade and the morning reports to
General Winder's headquarters; the requisi
tions were made out every day ; they stated
the number of 'prisoners inside and those on
duty outside the stockade; the quantity of
rations was left blank ; the commissary could.
See bow many men were present and he would
then know the number of rations he had to
furnish; every morning a list was made out
of the number of rations each detachment
bad to get from [the cook-house ; the witness
carried that list to Duncan, and left it with
him; he did not remember of the rations be
ing stopped for the 'entire camp; they were
sometimes stopped in a squad when a man
was reported missing ; as soon as the Fede
ral sergeant could answer for the man the
rations were returned; if he reported hint
escaped or sick the rations were re
tained; boxes from the North arrived
three times; some were sent by the Sani
tary Commission, and some by the friends of
the prisoners; the witness saw many boxes
outside of the stockade, and one of the clerks
told him those boxes were for men who could
not be found or who bad died ; when the se
cond lot of boxes was received, Lieut. Davis
was in command, and gave the contents of the
boxes to the men outside the stockade ; there
were 33,000 prisoners inside the 41tOOkade , at
that time ; the third lot of boxes was received
in November, and contained blankets and
clothing; these were taken to the store
house near Captain Wirz's> office; he sent
down for all the paroled men, about 150,
and every .one of them got a whole suit
of clothes, excepting shoes; about fifty pairs
of shoes were received, and we gave them
to
,those who were most in need of them;
the other things were turned over to the hos
pital ; witness had seen some colored men get
things, but not all; a confederate sergeant was
in charge of the colored men,and he came over
and obtained some clothing; there may have
been thirty or forty boxes belonging to
goners who could not be found; Captain Wirz
had nothing to do with the boxes after thEry
were turned over to the surgeons; witness
had sold a pair of pants he had received from
Wirz tO a Confederate sergeant for $5 with
which he had bought a blanket; General
Winder gave an order to search Stoneman's
r'aider's; the boxes were searched to ascertain
whether they contained liquors ; Captain Wirz
gave Duncan some tools, picks and shovels, in
Order that the prisoners could dig wells; he
also gave Duncan orders to provide the prison.
ers with. barrels to put down in the-wells to
heep the dirt from falling in ; there was a' de
tail of 150 men to clean the camp ; it was a
very bard matter to obtain shovels and picks,
but .he finally obtained about 75; it was a com
mon things to see some of the tools broken;
about 40 or 60 boys were in the stockade, and
Wirz requested Dr. White to take them into
the hospital to help the nurses or cooks,. he
said if he had his way he would send these boys
into tbe tin ion lines, RS 11 was of no use to keep
them prisoners of war, and that they would
only get sick and die; these boys were then
*ken to the hospital ; on one oeeasiou the wit
ness was sick with the clysentery,and asked the
doctor for some medicine, when the doctor re
ulieil he had been stelt himself with the
slime disease, but had no medicine; lie however,
told the witness to go and get blackberries,
which be did, and was cured; Captain Wirz
ave an order that these boys should gather
g
fdackberries for the sick, which they did; the
witness afterwards understood that the nurses
made pies out of them, and that the sick got
none Dr. White, as the small-pox was in
creasing, gave orders that the prisoners
should be vaccinated ; Captain IVirz said to a
man 'who refused to be vaccinated, that he did

the chain gang
haying bcep g iven himself ;
was formed under Winder's orders ; when a
plot had been matured by the prisoners to
escape, Captain Wirz said he would abstain
from shooting as long as he could ; Captain
Wire was sick hi July, and also daring August;
so far as the witness ; recollected,: Lieutenant
Davis was 'in command;,in September Wirz
•came back, very sick ,• the witness never heard
of - anybody dying at'Wliz's headquarters, nor
of his having beaten oi:3NA a man.
AU, DRok% facq The wi#l,9Bo g nue a thing
had been done, was he not 2n such -relation
that he would have known of the circum
stance ?
Colonel Chipman objected to the girestion,
for the reason mainly that the aeceptanee of
the answer would be placing too much reliance
on the negative testimony of the witness,
which was simply an opinion.
Mr. Raker briefly argued that the question
was a legitimate one, and in all criminal pro
secutions could be asked.
The court sustained the objection
The witness, among other things, testified
that the hospital attendants serenaded Capt.
Wirz and Surgeons Stevenson and White.
Cross-examined by Judge Advocate Chip
man.—Witness came from Germany in 1862,
and gave the particulars of his entering the
United States service.;he applied to Captain
Wirz for clerical duty, stating in his letter
that he was acquaintedwith about four lan
guages ; he also stated that he was a German
from Frankfort-on-the-Main ; the position of
clerk was better outside than confinement in
side the stockade ; if, while serving as a clerk,
Capt. Wirz had asked him to do anything in
consistent with his oath to the United States,
he would have refused it ; he served Captain
Wirz as far as that oath permitted ; the wit
ness received double rations, one of which he
sold to Capt. Wirz for eighty cents confede
rate money ; he did not know what Wirz did
with it ; Wirz had the power to both issue and
stop the rations to the prisoners, and he exer
cised it ; Wirz never signed or approved re
quisitions for hospitals, as he did not exercise
control over rations for them.
. .
JudgedfllVOCate Chipman asked a question
Yelative to General Winder's o i rder about the
chain-gang.
The witness went on to speak about some
other matter, and had evidently commenced a
long story.
Colonel Chipman requested him to confine
himself to the question.
ran Baker wanted his witness a full oppor
tunity to explain. If the gentleman did not
treat the 'witnesses fairly he would put no
more on the stand.
Major General Geary thought Mr. Baker
ought to have more Sense. He was becoming
tired or the course Of the counsel, and would
not stand it. At every turn the counsel threa
tened the court. It was a little too much, and
he was disposed to stop it if nobody else
would. It was an outrage on the court. •
Mr. Baker said he had not threatened the
court.
Gen. Geary replied. 63unsel had repeatedly
threatened not to do this or that unlesethe
court should accede to his wishes, and that he
would put no moie witness on the stand.
Mr. Baker, in explanation, said he had asked
the Judge Advocate to stop, but the latter
paid no attention to him. If he was thus to
DQ treated, there was but little use in putting
witnesses on the stand.
The President informed Mr. Baker that lie
had been repeatedly told he must make his
objections to the court, and not to the Judge
Advocate.
The cross-examination was resumed. The
witness testified positively that Wirz was not
on duty from the 4th to the 20th of August.
Geerge W. Frennor testified he was taken
prisoner as a spy, in Tennessee, made his es
cape, but was recaptured in Mississippi and
sent to Richmond, and afterwards to Ander
sonville, where he arrived in June, 1864 ; he
acted as aprison sutler, and also as a magi
strate ; before him men were brought for steal
ing, and who were punished by Bogging, being
set to work and washed; a number of men
were banded together and took by force what
was not their own, such as matches money,
clothing, food and tin cups; a police force was
organized called the " regulators, ,, to put
clown the raiders; on one occasion the raiders
tried to put down the "regulators," when the
latter called for and obtained assistance from
Captain Wirz • eleven of the raiders were ar
rested, six of whom were hanged and live
placed in the chain-gang. The witness, among
otner surprising statements, said there were
five or six working shoemakers in the stock-
.
ade, asmany tailors, and two watchmakers ;
the streets of the camp were fined. with soup
jobbers, and at the roughly-constructed tables
could be bought ham and eggs, tea, coffee, etc.;
there were five hundred bakersin the stockade
who baked and sold pies and cakes ; there
was plenty of flour, salaratus, etC,i the wit
ness bad an establishment called the "novel
ty $ 3 store ; he had a greater variety than any
other person in camp, and sold flour, hams,
chickens, pepper, sorghum, beans, peas, etc.,
besides 'medicines. The witness further testi
fied there was a half million of greenback cur
rency in camp ; there were also in camp bar
bers, shops, clothiers, brokers, engaged in
buying paper money s check 4, and gold and
silver; in one of the jeweler's shops he saw
fifty watches, and breastpins and rings to be
repaired ; the owner of this shop kept a joar
nesman. The witness testified that there were
fuel and lumber merchants also at the prison
at Andersouville, and that lots were purchased
at reasonable rates within the stockade, on
which shanties were erected ; there were also ,)
gamblers there, who had runners Out to hunt
up victims. The witness testified to many
other things showing extensive trade and
thrift at the prison ; men suffered from expo
sure, but be could not say men suffered from
hunger ; there were about a thousand dealers
in various kinds of food and goods.
The court then adjourned.

(Special Correspondence of The Press.)
IT.Annisstruo, October 4,1865.
" Few conventions have ever been called in
this State for a more honorable and praise
worthy object than that which, at twelve
o'clock to-day, assembled in the court-house,
in this city. When political bodies gather at
the State capital for the discussion and
adoption of platforms, and the nomination
of standard-bearers for their respective par
ties, we find among the delegates men who.
have become, renowned for their statesman-_
ship and their•eloquenee : and when eeelosias.
ticel organisations convene, in your own city,
the spectator is awed by the presence of yens.,
rable prelates, and attracted by younger, but
very frequently, more learned priests and
lay
men; but in the gathering to-daya more im
pressive sight was 'Witnessed.
Here were assembled those who, during a
protracted and sanguinary struggle,had fought
gallantly with sword and.musket against the
enemies of their country; and who now, that
cictory bad enabled them to lay down their
arms, 695714 hither to consult together, and by
the public expression of their sentiments to
convince the sympathizers withtreason—those
who through four years of civil war had ma
ligned them, and endeavored by word and
act to frustrate their honorable ondeavOrs—
that they were as ready with their ballots, to
contend against and defeat Northern Copper
heads, as they were with their bullets the trai
tors of the South.
Unlike the soldiers of foreign countries, our
brave defenders are men of discernment and
intelligence, and while recollecting the mis
deeds of sympathizers, appreciate properly
the animus which prompts . the Democratic
party to place in nomination in districts
Where Republican success is certain officers
and privates whose political or social welfare
they, under other circumstances, would never
deem worthy of consideration. To show that
these contemptible subterfuges were 80 ap
preciated, it was determined to call a State
convention at Harrisburg, and among the re
presentatives of our veterans present were
generals, colonels, majors, captains and lieu
tenants, while scattered through the court
house were numerous of the rank and file,
who attested by their presence and their
cheers the interest they felt in the objects of
the meeting.
The returned - warriors who had suffered at
Libby and Belle Isle here met with the escaped
victim of Andersonville tyranny, while the
soldier who had fought gallantly under Sher
man's banner clasped hands with the patriot
who had struggled through successive cam
paigns in Virginia, until victory, decisive and,
Complete, had rewarded the efforts of himself
and his brave compatriots. Some came into
the convention with empty sleeves, the mem_
ber which once filled the dangling piece of
the. soil across which the contending armies
cloth having been long since buried beneath
marched to and fro during the bloody strug
gle at Antietam, Gettysburg, and Atlanta,
while others, leaning on their crutches, came
slowly along the avenue which led to the
chairman's desk, the single remaining limb
showing conclusively how gallantly its owner
had fought for mastery.
The convention met at noon, and on motion,
General T. A. Rowley was elected president.
The following vice presidents and secrets,
ries were also chosen;
Vice Presidents.—Generals .Joshua T. Owen'
C. H. T. Collis, and J. B. Kiddoo ; Colonels R

On motion the following committee was ap

Gideon Clark, G. F. Smith and P. C. Elltnaker •
Majors R. W. Shank, Thndileus Stevens, Cyrus
Newlin and Wm. B. Darlington, and Captain

The following committee was subsequently
appointed to prepare an - address to the re
turned soldiers of Pennsylvania:. General
Collis, Major Shenk, Captain Wilberforce
Nevin, Adjutant A. C. Beinoehl and Dr. P. D.
Keiser.
After the above appointments had been au
nounced the convention adjourned until 214
P. M., at which hour It again assembled.
The following resolutions were then pre
sented by General Owen and unanimously
adopted amid great and enthusiastic cheering
Resolved, That in the name of the soldiers of
Pennsylvania we tender to Almighty God our
thanks for haring crowned our Meng with success,
enabling us to defeat armed treason, restore -LC
National autiforitrover every inch of oarrepublic,
forever abolish the crime of slavery and secure for
our great nation a prouder position before the
world than she has ever occupied heretofore. That,
next to Almighty God, we owe our thanks to those
patriotic citizens whose untiring efforts so greatly
ameliorated the privations and sufferings incident
to a state of war.
. .
Resolved, That we have entire confidence in the
pa. riotiem tiid stategmanahlo of the ?resident 4f. •
the United States, and believe that la his plan of re
con struction,he is governed by the desire to restore
perfect amity between theStatesas the surest means
of securing peace and 'Union. His life-long antago
nism to the leaders of the Rebellion and to the he
rrsj of becessioh is a guarantee of his honesty of
purpose, and hio thorough knowledge of the people
of the South eminently tic him to Judge of what will
best secure their loyalty to the Government and the
promotion of their prosperity for the future.
Resolved That, in the judgment of this conven
tion, the kindness and leniency shown by President
Johnson, in his treatment of manyleading rebels,
has not been received by them nor the people whom
they represent in such temper as to entitle them to
its continuance, and the people of the States lately
in rebellion should not be permitted to resume the
exercise of their political rights, forfeited by their
treason, until they have proved their acceptance of
the manna of the war by IncorponAtteo them in con
stitutional amendments.
. . . .
Afesoired, 'That the mistaken policy of the 'first
two years of the warin trying to win back the
traitors of the South by kindness and conciliation,
cost the country a hundred thousand lives, pro
longed the war lit least one year, and added a Mon
son(' millions to the national debt, and that while
the effort was creditable to us as a people, its les
sons should not be forgotten in determining the
character of their present treatment. -
Resolved, That we charge the leaders of the so
called Democratic party in Pennsylvania with hav
ing incited the war, by represet Ung, to leading
rebels that secession would not be resisted; with
having opposed its prosecution even after our
hag had been fired upon, and the forts, arsonists
and dock yards of the Government actually seized;

posed the drall and any and every measure lo

preciated the national securities, - shaken the
national credit, and by those means increased the
national debt: with haring opposed every measure
intended for the relief of the widows and orphans
of our dead,• with having been guilty of a constant,
shameless abuse of every measure of the Govern
ment intended to bring to Justice the traitors and
assassins upon whose heads rests the blood of our
Martyred President and heroes, and With having
forfeited all claim to our respect and confidence,
and shown themselves morally If not legally more
culpable than those with whom they so warmly
sympathized.
Resolved, That in our efforts to iziatntain the
Union. enforce the laws, crush out the rebellion,
and with it all those influences that made it practi
cable, we have had from the first the constant, un
swerving support of the Union party, and we re
cognize It as our natural friend and ally. ,
Resolved, That Jefferson Davis and the!principal
instigators and leaders of the late rebellion should
be tiled, and if found gulity, executed according to
law, not only as a pUnishufent for their g Pelt
crimes, but as an example to ambitious and disaf
fected men in the future.
Resoteed, That In determining the eligibility of
persons presenting themselves for admission, Into

Presidential appointments, there should he a strict

Resolved, That the soldiers of Pennsylvania owe
a debt or gratitude to his Excellency Governor Cur

we hail him to-day as emphatically "The Soldter'e

which they are to be ehoson, and we - hereby tender
them au assurance of our earnest support.
The following patriotic address was then re
ported by General Collis, chairman. of the
cemndttee f and unanimously adopted:
SOLDIERS OF PENNSYLVANIA: The 'exciting
scenes through which yon have passed, during the
Tear Whitt is now drawing to a close, and the sud
den transitlon from the soul-stirring scenes a the
ramp and the field to the quiet of domestic peace
and the enjoyment of the sweets of home, must, of
necessity, have occupied almost your entire
thoughts, sod Ihft you but little leisure to contem
plate the political events of the day. You will,
therefore, par dou us for calling your attention, at
this late moment, -
to the importance °fiche canvass
for State officers. in which the people of this great
.Cestomonweatit are now engaged, hod to ask you to
continue to support and perpetnate those great
principles of elfil liberty at the "ballot-box" with
results [l5 decided and conclusive as those which
von have already so gallantly aciaermt with the
'-cartridg.s-box• ,- in the field.
lt may seem a work sunerogatory to ask the sol
diers fa support at the ballot-box, that party which
sustained him while he hue aloft the advancing
colors of his country in the distant South.
Upon resuming the discharge of his civil du
ties at home, he ends himself after long an -
Bence, entirely divested of party passion and
prejudice, and he cornea to the discharge of those
sacred duties animated by a single hope, and urged
to action but by .a single whit', and those are, that
the Government for which he sacrificed so much
ma y be preserved in its pristine beauty and vigor.
and may continue to eland, us it now does,-the
mightiest power on earth—and that it may dueend
to• his children and his children's children, tile
richest legacy that can be s bequeathed from sire to
son. Coming to the polls with teouights as high and
holy as these, and animated with feelings as pure
and patriotic, where, where, we ask with triumph,.
can the returned soldier east his ballot save With
the Union party? •
It Is true that tbe opposition,miscalled the Demo
cratic party, with a sagacity coextensive with the
political LaccutilAtmleo witlett MIN clarogierlavi
them during thepast eventful four years, have
placed in nomination two gentlemen who have, we
freely concede, gallantly served their country (and
whose present position we can only deplore), and
they will ask you, with at least some degree of
plausibility; why Yon cannot vote for the gentle
men they have named, as also your friends and
fellow-soldiers. The answer to this is a simple, a
brief, but a most conclusive One. These-called De
mocratic party, when the amendment to the State
constitution was before the people, granting to
you 'the right of. suffrage in the field, resisted anti
opposed, with determined hostility and untiring
industry, the passage of the amendment. Their
- leading men. the Senate and House voted against
it, their press throughout the etate,without a single
exception, teemed wino articles in. OppOSition CO it
amt the result of the popular vote, if examined In
the Several counties, hears painful testimony to the
sincerity of their exertions in opposition to it; and
we can point with pride and pleasure to the fact
that in every county giving a Republican majority a
majority will be tonna in favor of Use soldiers , votes
While in many of the counties in which the opposi
tion-had large majorities, a majority, disgraceful
and shameful as it was, will be found against an
Amendment which perMitted , S
whoowere
enduring the - hardships and prlvation of
field, and camp, and battle plain—who were
periling health and life, . and all that makes
life dear—who had sacrificed home and ail its com
forts and blandishments—who had severed the ties
of affection and sundered the endearments of do-
Mestle peace, all, all, that they might join the grand
armies of the country as they advanced to crush out
treason, to extend the area of freedom and to sus
tain, in the face of the country and the world, the
great principles of free government which descend
ed to us from our sires—determined that the Govern-
Merit under which we live, should stand now and
forever; having no motto save "victory and suc
cess," and determined
"To prevalitn the cause that is dearer than life,
Or, crush'd In its thins, to die—"
It was Of such a class of men as this that the oppo
eltion dared to say, they- were unfit to exercise the
right of suffrage in the field. We will not repeat
their so-called arguments against the measure.
Their main one, however, was that the " men in
the ranks " would vote as their officers directed
them, and YOU Were sneeringly called " the hire
lings of the Administration." You are now at
home, fellow-soldiers, you are in the " ranks " of
'the people, net ,the army—no official power can in
fluence you—you are nobody's "hirelingS;" and we
call upon you as free, independent, thinking, pa
'trickle electors, to rebuke those who have cast
calumnies upon , you, when absent, and to sustain
the party who voted.for and with you. To teach the
opposition that the flagrant abuse of yesterday can
not be glossed over by placing the names of sol- .
filers at the head. of their column to-day, with
the hope of misleading those whom, a few short
Months ago, they would have dWralachind,
The importance Of your decision at the present
election is greater than would at first appear.
While neither a national nor State Executive is to
be chosen, nor members of Congress selected,
. State °Mere are to be chosen and the past policy
.of the riattonai aaadatst,,ation is thin; to receive a
popular vindication and endorsement; and hoW
natural will it be fox your friends and neighbors,
as well as the country at large, to look at the course
'of those who have cOntributed so largely to the
creation and preservation of thal_p4lley and to the
maintenance of the Governmefft itself: and how
frequently will the question be asked, both at home
and abroad, Row did the returned soldier vote?
in this view of the subject, it become§ doubly im
portant that those who wielded the sword in the
arbitrament of this great quarrel, with such grand
.results, should continue their moral and political
force in support of the same great doctrines. If
doubou bort** the Southern States and contemplate,

Mr. Binney, on assuming the chair, paid a
graceful tribute to our candidate for Mayor,
Mr. McMichael. He had known him well while
he was sheriff; and a more energetic and purer
public servant never held that post. He was
an able and conscientious Journalists finished
scholar, and an exemplary citizen, and he
believed that his administration would be
wise, firm and honest.
J. D. Watson, chairman of the Fifth-ward
Executive City Committee, then Introduced
Colonel J. vv. Forney, who spoke as follows
I have come here to-night to discharge a
pleasant duty. I have regretted deeply to see
that some of our political friends, some of
whom have undoubtedly committed the nide
take of supposing this to be an unimportant
contest, exhibit an unbecoming apathy. This
feeling has encouraged the general opposition
in the liepe that they may achieve a victory at
the coming election. This is but the ves
tibule, in my opinion, to a greater struggle
—the beginning of a civil contest for the
preservation and perpetuity of the principle
Of the Government itself. Next year we shall
have a contest for a new Cengress. In that
Congress will be enlisted all the energies,. all
the passions which are now only slumbering.
It will be remembered that some three years
ago the opposition to the war, in precisely
such a centest as this, whenthe friends of the
Government were net wide awake, achieved
a political triumph in the election of the pre
sent Auditor General, and that triumph en
couraged them to a subsequent contest, which
brought out all the energies of both parties,
and resulted in a great Union victory. If we
should fail now, with the vast Issues depend.
leg upon this struggle, next year may bring
to us a defeat instead of a yictory.
First of all let me say, as to the candidate
for the Mayoralty, I have been the intimate
friend of Morton MeMiehael for more than
twenty-eight years, and in that long period—
nearly a generation—although we have dif
fend. politically on maqy occasions, we have
never 'known' biernelit Of perBollol allenac
tion. I have studied the man thoroughly.
There are few public characters more inte
resting to contemplate than Morton McMi
chael. He is one of the men who has
passed through a long and exciting career
without a stain upon his reputation. He has
been nearly all that perior of time, directly or
indirectly, connected with journalism, and he
has so conducted himself as to be an example
.to his opponents and the admiration of his
friend& gingularly identified With Pennsyl
vania, there lids not been a great Intei.efit in
which she was concerned that he has not
steadily and enthusiastically defended. Oh
this question of labor, against which a most
absurd and injurious attempt has been made
to create a prejudice in regard to Mr. Me:
Michael, I may say that if there is
any one thing about him that shotfld
command respect, It, is Vile fact that he has
been steadily identified with the cause of the
working men : He is himself a working man,
a brother journalist. Understanding my own
trade, I can say that he has devoted himself

many respects, an oracle on this question.
When I see persons seeking to array the labor
ing climes against the Union candidate for
Mayor, lam led to inquire where the gentle
man was who is placed on the so-called Demo
cratic ticket for Mayor daring that great strug
gle which closed In the surrender of Lee and
the evacuation or Richmond. That wee not a
struggle for the liberty of the nation merely,
nor alone for the perpetuity of the Govern

intelligent progressive labor. Where, during
that great struggle Was Mr. Fox? If you go to

tinguished citizens—of the ladies or the gen
tlemen, of the rich and the poor—of those who
gave of their substance, of their time, and their
money—on those rolls you do not find, in one
single instance, the name of Hr. Fox. I perceive
that, a few days ago, in order to prove that he
was not against the Government, he had to
obtain a soldier's affidavit to prove his pa
triotism. There was a peculiar necessity that
the city of Philadelphia should be a citadel of
patriotism during these four terrible years;
and, in saying this, I cannot &near a tribute
to the incorruptible statesman who now occu
pies the executive chair of our great munici
pality. Under his wise and stainless, his firm
and prudent rule we were kept within the

is pre-eminently the home of the laboring

where the people who labor are so well cared

their almost confessed offences in their high

by those who use it. Remember that the pee-
pie of that city are said to pay taxes each
year to the extent of 18,000,000 of dollars,
8,000,000 more than London. and 8,000,000
more than it mete to govern Paris. Are you
willing to make Philadelphia to take pattern
after that? To fill the places of our police and
other offices with the same characters who
plunder and misgovern the people of New
Yorki These are questions that concern our-
Selves, and as we consider them they be
come more and more important to us. [Ap
plause.] One of the charges against Mr. Mc-
Michael, by the sympathizers with the re
'hellion, is that he is the representative of
a party which, professing to be - a war party
andm f.
aiming c:' be the friends of the men
who have successfully fought through the
war, is now neglecting to provide the soldiers
with nominations to lucrative and honorable
Mee% This Is the point upon which they
rely, because it has so happened upon the
Union ticket—with, I believe, a single excep
tion—there is no man who was actively identi
fied with military operations during the rebel
lion, I have pursued one line of policy since
the beginning of the rebellion in reference to
these brave men ; and I have steadily insisted
that, on all proper occasions, they should be
preferred before those who have not been en
gaged in military operations. It stands to the
credit of the national organization that this
has become a principle with it. Hundreds and
thousands of the brave men have been oared
for by the general and loyal State govern
meets.
J. R. D,
When the Union City and County conven
tions assembled a remarkable spectacle was
presented. Although from this great city Went,
forth an immense body of men to light, for
their country, when the bodies met not more
than two or three soldiers presented them
selves for nomination, and they did not press
their claims. AIRILY delegates In the CCaVen
tion insisted upon the nomination of civilians
for these high positions. Observe, these com
flaints against the Union party does not come
rom the soidiers. It is true the Demo
cratic party has nominated two or three
"gentlemen who behaved well during the
rebellion, and they have never shown
their liberality and courage better than
by entrusting their aspirations to ,the
cruel mercies of the men who have been
Steadily opposed to the War in which they
fought and to the country they were defend
ing. These charges against Mr. McMichael
and his friends come from men who, until the
war ended, had no mission but to obstruct it ,•
men who, from the time they met in National
Hall, in January, 1861, and, there repeated Abe
infamous doctrines of Judge Black that there
was no power in the Federal Government to
protect itself from annihilation, and that; the
Southern States had just cause for revolt
against the Republic—from that time until
this they have been silent against the Govern
ment and frequent in their protestation of
sympathy with the traitors.
It is strange that, in spite of this record, they
should be able to induce soldiers to go upon
, their ticket here and otherportions of the State
At the heed of their State ticket stands Col.

he behaved well while in the service, for I
trust I may never be compelled to question
the courage of any man who has borne the
uniform of my country, because I am not Of
his politico ; but it is a melancholy fact Uhl,
during the three ars of the war in which LW
fought, he allowedhis name to be used as the
endorser of the most foul slid pestilent false
hoods against the republic, in his own news
pa
Admitting that he did not write these arti
cles, it stands to his shame that he allowed
them to be printed over his own name nure
bilked for more than threelyears. At the end
of three years„or rather, when he became a
candidate for civil office, dame out in all
editorial card and announced that he was not
responsible for what had been written while
be was in the army. lint see how this gentle
man is put to shame from his own columns
now.
To-day I came across the DoyiOstown Deno
crag. In looking over its columns I saw that
the paper is now conducted by the gallant
Colonel hIMBI3If. There is no concealment
here—no disavowal—but rank, offeirittime CoptA
perheadism. In it is an article which calls
upon the elective officers to allow the desert
ers and bounty-jumpers to vote, and threatens
them with prosecution unless they permit
them to do so. I read as follows from Colonel
Davis , own columns of the 3d of October, 1665
(only yesterday)
" At the last session of Congress an act was
passed disenfranchising all persons who Left the
eountry to avoid the draft. no. law was notori
ously unconstitutional. and this was the general
view taken of it during its discussion.
"We do not know of any persons in this
county to whom the act of Congress in ques
tion applies ; but if there be any such, Let them
demand at the polls au the rights that belong Co
them. The Federal Government has no right to
disfranchise them. The law is a nullity—and
should be treated as suck',
. . .
In the same connection, bear witness that
Senator BilekidaW has written an Oplßion)
which has been published in the Democratic
organ in this city, in which he calls upon the
election officers to allow the men who ran out of
the State—the deserters and bounty-jumpers—
to avoid the draft—and who are themselves
disenfranchised by act of Congress—to vote,
and, in the event of refusing, they are threat
ened with prosecution I find in the same
paper—Colonel Davis' Doylestown Democrat—
an article copied from a newspaper published
in nell6fonte, Centre county, which contains
the foulest, most shameless assault uPon on ,
martyred and sainted President, Abraham
Lincoln. It is an attack upon James Buchanan
for having spoken of Abraham Lincoln as "our
kind-hearted President I" Here are the words :
If Mr. Buchanan had been torn from his
home, and immured in a filthy, vermin-Infest
ed bastile ; if he had been forced to eat the dry
bread, fat bacon and OUT called bean broth,
breathe through the grated wind4W4 of his
noisome prison house, sleep on the bare floor,
robbed of the savings of years of toil, and
turned Out eventligAy without knowing the
cause of his arrest, or withont eizuhination
to why the outrage was committed, as Was
ourself and hundreds of others, by order of
A. Lincoln,' perhaps he would have spoken of that
individual rn another way? ,
And this foul, festering calumny, over the
mortal remains of that best-beloved and n ever
to-be-replaced Presiskmt,ladeliberatelyeopied
in yesterday's columns of the newspaper con
ducted by the Democratic soldiers' candidate
for Auditor General pt . Pennsylvania
Thus these men, while they jprOf6.§§ to be the
best friends of the soldier, and are begging his
suffrage, cannot keep out of their newspapers
the black and bitter poison of their hearts;
and do not even spare the grave of the immor
tal dead:
Saidtel Grant,
Charles Gibbons,
Edward M. Faxon,
B. P. King.
I now come to a leading editorial, also in
yesterday's Doylestown Democrat,clearly from
the pen of 01, Ihmis himself

As I read this monstrous article of Colonel
Davis, I asked, where, in the present contest,
if he were here, would General Grant be found
in choosing between Hartranft and Davis?
Would he not choose the soldier who, on the
memorable 245th of March, broke the chain of
the rebel lines and achieved the first victory
of those glorious five days, and opened the
way to national deliverance and glory? And
what would Hancock and Meade say of this
man, who, himself a soldier, now declares, in
the columns of his newspaper, !Mt the war could
have been honorably closed two years ago, and that
the precious and consecrated btood which won
these lasting victories for our country and man,
Lind was shed unnecessarily and in vain.
Colonel Forney spoke at some length on the
other issues in the election, but we are cora
pelled to cut short our report.
After the hearty applause which greeted
Colonel Forney's speech, Mr. Thomas Fitz
gerald announced that a diell/Ignished Penn
sylvanian, an orator and statesman, who had
served his country with pre-eminent ability
was present ; and he would, therefore, call
upon the Hon. G'aluslia. A, Grow to address the
meeting,
The ex-Speaker of the Hational ffonse of
Representatives then proceeded to speak with
characteristic force, logic, and eloquence.
Want of time end space prevents a report of
his 'very able address, which was listened to
with marked attention. He spoke for an hour,
greatly to the satifaction of the audience. Mr.
Grow speaks to-night at West Chester, and to
morrow at Chester, Delaware county.
