The letters of Fiancis P. Rutin, Written both before and after the Hew York 'Convention 'which put him in nomination, are revived at the South, (where the poten tial_portion of the petty are still.found,) as_ that paity's real deelaration of principles, and these breathe nothing but _rebellion, violent revolution and war. Treason, crushed to earth under the iron heels of the great army of the Union, now,' for Cie firat time, shows signs, of returning Vitality; and shouts as audacious, malignant!Snd defiant as ever rung out from the 'councils or camps of the Confederacy\ are the echoes of the doings of the disloyal gatherini which put tra Sivtio and Blain in nomination :„ One candidate on that ticket standk as the fit representative of the Copperhead wing of the party—a man who sympathised with the rebels and did as much as he dared to do to weaken the hands of the Government in that awfulstruggle--a man iwhO encour aged the mob of New!York to enter upon their three days reigi:t of terror, and ad dressed them as , hitt "friends," while the smoke-of-orphan asylums' and the shrieks of murdered children were ascending to heaven. . Those - wretches were then and are yet his "friends," birds of a feather, and those crowded dens of infamy in that me tro Polis, whence issued that hideous mob, will roll him up his largest majorities:t GRANT Will find no friends_ in that crowd, among those genuine sons and "friends" of I3elial. The other, like Motocir, comes up with a shout 'of war.* In the infernal conference, described by Ifivrolt, held soon after the first Great Rebellion, ' that leading - devil Itutde a 'speech very much like Butta's let ters. We quote a passage "Moorent-nee /or open war; themiles, tcitr l ite e g e olatt o o a r st w n h o e t zl e; l ger t grot now; For while they eh contriving, shall the rest, Millions that stand In arms and longin g wait , .

Nor let us rather choose, Armed with hell-lbranes and fury, all at once O'er heaven's blgh towers to force resisUess way." BIELIAL was a idowardly devil in that con . vention, and 6ounseled a treacherous shoW _of submission. He wanted to wait to see what would turn up—a good - deal like SHY HOIM,; but Hoiocn, as the quotation shows, was a real FitaarnDr.uttn, and was for pitch -lag in at once. In 1856 she Democracy got up a ticket very much like this--Bucuattest and BREcitantandn—and elected it,_ and lone will the'country roe in ..ita.fivances and at its desolated firesides that unhappy election. It Were now unkind, pethapS, to compare Mt. Bitmaren with Br am ; \tint all must admit that in one tiling he resembled him— he was a great coward.: His -inate :pa the ticket, hoimer, was a genuine. MCoLocrt, whose voice was for dpen war. They tried to poison I3,ucnazian a& the Hationapotel, and although hi§ animal-life Was too tough for the drttg, his courage and manhood, if he ever had any, were destroyed. .TLence forward MoLocn and his party liad it all their own way, and that facile administra tion was used -by them from first to last to prepare for "open• war." 1 , This ticket is - worse than that one, and the cries which are tittered as it is thrown before the country are more flagitious, more atrociously wicked, than any heard eight years ago. They ring through the country more like the shouts of armed rebels than the, uttcrafices of -a political party, and as & au let us meet them. The' issue is Peace , . or Wat—anissue far more solemn and mo 'snentous than any we were . ever - before Called to meet at the ballot box. Then let the cry again resonnd thrdagliout all the land—as ten .thoutiand 'times it rose in sub: time nielodyin the eatiiris aridpii the marches of our armies— "RaUT round the flag boys.

GRANT. Each day we hear of new names, of those honest, union-lov ing citizens of Allegheny county who pre fer country to partyand Peace rather than another C' il War. We were reliably in formedye erday, for example, of five Dem- Iv ocniis, each one of whore' had served to up hold the old flag, and each one of - whom had votefor SnAust;oon last fall, who told our fiend yesterday morning that they iii. had no us for BLAIR and another rebellion, and .shout fight it out for GRANT and Peace, if it took until November. We have also the name ,of another citi zen, whose abilities and influence have been a tower of strength to the DemOcracy, repeatedly receiving their fullest, con fidence, and 'on more than one , oc casion—the last being also very fre cent—their suffrages, who served con spicuously and most honorably in the last -.l3var . for the Unity of the Republic, and "who, leading then the boys in blue, under I. the stars and stripes, accepts now all , the responsibilities of a thoughtful and all-con. trolling patriotism, and will lead another' coltimn of independent Democratic voters against the same old. enemy in its new dis guise. He fought WADE HAurrom once, and is abont to do it again. He accepts no platform of political principles from that boastful rebel, preferring his oldleader, the Victor. of Appomattox. When a fitting time appears for,discussing this matter with his fellow-citizens, he proposes to show to them, and to thousands of his Democratic friends in Western- Pennsylvania, the dan gers and the duties of the crisis. -- How gratifying it is to feel that there ex ist these multiplying proofs, showing the popular heart to, be still sound and loyal to the imperilled Republic. Its awakened in— telligence, still guards, faithfully as ever, the citadel of the Union! A SERIOUS MATTER. A very contagious and fatal disease among ;tattle, first appearing last year in the ex treme Southwestern States, has been ob served to be extending its ravages North ward and Eastward, until we now learn of its widely-spread existence - in portions of Illinois and Indiana! The distemper is popularly supposed to have originated in Mexico or Texas, and to have heek,spread by the importation of large herds of cattle from that section to the markets of the West and Northwest. Its contagious type is clearly established, while its fatality is evi denced by the most extensive destruction. Notwithstanding a statute of Illinois pro hibits the transportation of that class of stock over the railwayspf that State, we ob serve that the Chicago press have 'sounded a 'Vigorous cote or.alarm ; having good res. , son to believe thattifes e cattle have already been dealt in in the extensive yards of that city. This matter directly concerns the people of Ohio and Pennsylvania, which ' States are traversed by railway lines com municating with. Chicago, and constantly bearing crowded , cattle trains. Without timely and effective precautions, an 'epi-, demic at Chicago" or in any portion` of Ii linois may, and probably will, be transferred to the yards near this city. What thesepre cautions should be, we are not prepared to suggest; but it is our duty to state what we have of the character and extent of animmi nent danger. We have, in Met, no desire to`see a fatal pestilence sweeping among the cattle of Pennsylvania, if it be capable of , seasonable prevention. THE WADE HAMPTON AND BLAIR POLI cx . is already/ fruiting in 'Tennessee. The situation of affairs in that State becomes ser hlusly alarming. tong since, under the first lead Of ANDREW JOHNSON, then their Military Governor, the loyal men of Ten nessee, reconstructing -their government, declared that it should be controlled by loy alty only. With that end in view they found it needful to disfranchise a large num ber of rebels. • Poi a while, this exclusion. has been submitted to by those who felt that they were properly paying a penalty for un successful treason. , But thch new Demo cratic platform of revolutionary resistance in arms against the hsw encourages them to demand the removal of this exclusion ' , and that every red-handed follower. of POLREFIT in his butcheries shall be restored to an equality of rights with those citizens who loyally upheld the Union flag. The rebels have organiied and armed themselves, throughout the State, In the K. K. X. se _,cresy at first, but of late openly and de fiantly, sheltering then:skives under the tee tering wing of. NOrthern Copperhead sympathy. • ThirUnion - party firmly resistS the rebel demand„ , and the Legislature leis therefor.e boen convened to consider the az ojited end seriously alarming condition of ,public leeling in the State.

October; 180% that Eiterling Wiii.Dpin eclat, DAP= . Ilzcs.rssozs dehmed a stoeech at the COpper Institute, New York; in which he - tiltoted, with scathing corn _ Inad pints, the following se' tence from a speech . of 4. 4311AT.t0 SEntoun, e a few days be foref: . • - "tin Is true tiled alaverT ust be abolished to save this Union, then the people of the south should be allowed to withdi aw thetnselves from that Govern ment which cannot give them the protection ruaran teed by Its terms." In SErsionn's opinion slavery was more sacred and more valuable than the Union. That was „what was called Democracy then, and it is so yet. .Slaver,y had not been abol ished at the time these words were spoken, but Mr. LINCOLN badust issued his pre liminary proclamation. Perhaps, should he 1 be elected, the rebel States will yet "be all'owed to withdraw," so that they may re construct their sacred ititution. The old slaveholders and - rebe may reasonably , hope , that they will be allowed this privi ic lege ; and that theyo entertain that hope is clearly inferrable fr ca the declaration of one of their leading &tors, that the suc cess of the Democratic icket would give to the South all it contend d for in the war. • THE Hoosier Democracy declare that Bruin is a " bad egg." •They are all goose flesh, when,they remetabet his venomous denunciations of their party, 'three years since, from a scote of Indiana stumps, and they let him alone now, as flinch as possible. They have declined his offer to make Dem ocratic harangues, putting him off to some, more convenient season. He has twice tra versed the State since his nomination but has never been entreated to open his mouth. I nds is not the way the Hoosiers treat their favorites. THE Copperheads are' preparing the way for BLAIR, SEYMOUR and HAMPTON'S next rebellion, by their efforts to shake the pop ular confidence in. the National credit. They would persuade the people to repu diate their obligations, for the nioney which helped us through one war, hoping thereby to find the nation unable to command the needful means in the next one. That is the real aim of the :greenback redemption dodge! AT Appomatox General GRANT dictated terms of surrender 'to the rebels ; among others, that they were "not to be disturbed by United States authority so long as they observe their parole, and the laws in force _sphere they may reside." These terms were distinctly accepted by Gen. LEE. .13AEPTON and his associates, who are 'endeavoring to stir up another rebellion, are clearly acting in violation of their parole. , Another Independent Democratic Journal. The Huntingdon Globe, in this State, is• a well-edited and independent Democratic piper, which took issue with some of the measures of the Radicals, after having earn estly supported Lincoln and Curtin. But the New York conclave was too much for it, and now our contemporary proclaims his purpose to act with the Republicans in the following frank and manly terms. We collY: • • The "old secession element" has control of the organization, and it expects by the election of Seymour and Blair—both of whom were nominated for their positions by men of known secession proclivities—to secure "all" that the Confederacy fought i for. We saw this in the beginning of the year, and we "somersaulted," and just so' long as we see that the Democratic party will take to its bosom such vipers. as VC landigham and Voorhees, or give its ears to each insidious tricksters as the rebel gene- i rals Forrest, Hampton & Co., just so long will we oppose that party.. The Demo cratic party might have worked a reform, as everybody admits, but now they have let that opportunity slip by heeding the in sinuation, of the_ rebel leaders and Northern rebel sympathizers (for such we must call Vallandigham and his admirers), and the consequences of a sore defeat rest upon them: The "Democracy" have permitted the favorable opportunity to do their coun try a good service to" pass, and if they're main out of power for the next twenty, years it will be nothing more than they deserve. We can never help to raise to power leading rebel's and their sympathizers. The West Virginia Rebel Democracy. 'The history of the Grafton Convention, like many other histories, cannot be fully written till some time after the;event. If the personal experiences of those in attend ance could be collected and presented' in a body, it would be seen xhat such a collet" Lion of ruffianism and rascality has never before congregated in this State. We occa sionally come across a 'person who was there and adds a leaf to what, is already known.. The amount of drunkenness was fearful, and the number of the knocked down and - robbed will probablY never be fully ascertained. A citizen of Wheeling who. was there, declares, he never, saw as much drunkenness at any [place in his life. He was in the Convention and heard the crowd, when Thurman asked•what they would da with the Union sOldiers, cry out "Hang 'em l Hang 'em 1" He also heard the yells for Jeff. Davis. All accounts concur in showing that the -iebelism and ruffianism congregated at Grafton were without parallel in this guar tin, of the State. The lawless 'elements from the rebel counties overran, everything and permeated'and gave tone to'the entire Convention. A Pittsburgh gentleinanwho was in ihe Convention, speaking of 'it in ' this city yesteiday, says he never sawany thing like it', As showing;the utter abandon in 'which every one took part in the proceed ings who wanted to,-..he says he • himself made several motions, and among others; made the motion by which the nomination, of Willey for Attorney ' General made unanimous. • ... %M j x rz ,a:,,~;;r 4 ~,.~h~- . 5_:~.'.aF:.t :,~x....z~51.. .n-,1 «5;.., _'-.,."a.4 ~.a..~. The plan brought forivard, at the last Episcopal Convention of the Maio kir, Pennsylvania, to .divide again, Which left.] fourteen counties in Gm old dieicese, and the remaining thirty counties in the newldio cese. was to take effect when two: - thirds of the clergymen and ehurches consent; and some twetbonsand five hundred a year for five years:, to 'Support the new bishop. c i The 1 question Was thus referred to the peopl and the result is as, follows: Of fifty,-seven parishes, representing twenty-eight hundred and forty-two communicants, twenty-five' parishes representing seventeen. liundred and forty - one communicants,- have replied. Of those six parishes, representing two hundred and thirty-five, approve, j. and eighteen parishes, 'representing sixteen hundred and sixteen communicants, disap prove of the division, Towitrds the bishop's salary the sum of two handred dollars have been pledged by four parishes. From these facts; it is not likely that dioceses will be multiplied in our State at present. During the sittings of the Hebrew B'nel B'nth, at New York, an association of the liberal minded class of. Israelites, the ques tion of limiting the membershiP to Jews called forth a shOrp debate. It was con tended that all creeds should be admitted to the society, if, they come forward— Chris tians, Mohammedans, and even Pagans. , The amendment, to limit the membership to Jews, was finally withdrawn, the sentiment prevailing that it was not proper to form themselves into a secret society, and' ex, elude from among them those of other creeds.

The total number of communi cants reported is 252,555, and of persons in, Sabbath Schools nearly the same number, namely, 221,340. The whole sum contrib uted for congregational, benevolent and I miscellaneous purposes amounts to $4;- 1 289,595. Under the nurture of Dr. Arm's Church, Congregational, at Norwich, Connecticut, there have been raised up forty ministers of the gospel. This important work is fre quently overlooked by chtirches, and no better evidence of the spiritual prosperity of . a congregation could be given than in being the agency of sending orit laborers Into the ,vineyard of the. Lord. The Welern Christian Advocate, an in fluential religious weekly in the West, con tains a caustic editorial on "Grain-Lamb- ling," based upon the great losses by grain speculators in June last. i Many persons; besides those immediately in the trade, were induced under the belief that the coming crop was so promising that they agreed at a certain date to furnish the, number of liushels contracted for, but when the time expired, they were compelled to pay an ad, vane, upon the price of sale to meet their, engagements, and multitudes instead of making, lost heavily, in some instances - all their savings for years. It is _argued that two-thirds of the' business failures in (the towns, large and 'small,: throughout the country,' are, caused by the vice—nay, the tin, the crime—of making money on specu: lative chances outside of men'a legitintate business and foreign t& all their usual sym- : pathies, training and' habits. It regards such desires for making money for personal or other ends the same as "throws," 'and "grab games," and "e.hances• in lotteries." They are all hideous' and fatal experiments of raising money.

How SeymOttr Takes at New Yo*k. "Burleigh,". the New Yorkcorres - pon dent of the Boston Journai, - relates the fol lowing little incident; which shows how things are working,at the metropolis : was 'regent •at Barris' on Saturday; the dining place where merchants and lawyers congregate. There happened to be quite a number of active politicians present,' repre senting both sides. Though the thermom eter was above ninety, the discussion became quite animated. Among the company was a distinguished lawyer, who was quite op posed to General Grant. He was addressed by a person present, who said, "You take the stump for Seymour, I suppose?" "Well, yon will suppert the Democratic nominee, yin are so bitter against Grant?" "I don't like Grant, but I shall votefor him." He add ed: " Gentlemen, 1 am the personal friend of Horace Greeley. When the mob, ten thousand strong, hooted and howled around: the Tribune building and threatened to tear it down, I was inside prepare(' to -de fend it.
