THE QUESTION OF PEACE OR WAR.
The'triumph of thiparty headed by Suf.'
Move and-_,l4.ant, and.directs4 by-the men
Who Inaugur i ttted the rebellion and the-war
in 1864 - and - 'fir; would - lit; it caliunity as
gteat as would have,been tlie success of the
rebellion. 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 ,
. The signal to ascend, sit lingering here
Heaven's fugitives, and for their dwelling place
Accept this dark opprohlous den of shame,
The prison of his tyranny who reigns
By our &lay? 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.
ItaLr once agaln P. , • •
sio, that not a man will he missing on the
great day of decision'.
thorough organization is whlstis needed.
Let the voters everywhere, in town and
country, form close, active, working bands,
and let the living .voices of gifted rub, able
to discuss the great issue, be heard in every
place - Where an audience can be gathered.
Huge conventions waste more energy and
means than. they are worth; thereiore let us
expend our energies all over the field more,
than we have hitherto' done. Horeover, let
the press bemade to do all that it can do;
'and, let.no man: who; through prove.rty '
or
indifference, is not supplied with papers and
documents, lack the means of knowing all
the truth •in reference to the great question
bfore the country.
All this ought to be done prior to the Oc
tober eiectiOn. It is on that • day we shall be
called upon to show to Ourselvei and to.all
the other States what we ma do. Remem:

Welear:llailrof - the , --nnist encouraging
'evidences -that= the patriotism and intelli
gence of a large - .number of citizen's, who
have heretofore voted with the Democratic
parf,Y; are alarmed by the complete surreri- ;
der of their leaders to the infernal spirit ,of
'rebellion or secession which is now rampant
at the, South,, and that they are recognizing
the imperative duty of all good Men to unite
in the support of that policy of Peace and
Equal Justice to all, which rests its hopes in
the election of. 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. The rebels,, dis
regarding the new Democratic theorythat,
thesufi l rage properly to be regulated by
each State for itself, denounce the action'of
their ' own ,t3tate authoritleynd threaten
open wiar.unlesS the obnoxious, eaelusion is

l_rf. 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

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 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. •

the result is as, follows: Of fifty,-seven

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 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. Why walk so close to
the edge of the precipice that one little mis
step will send us reeling and plunging to a
bottomless abyss, where the way •for our
safe walking is so plainly. marked ?

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. I • am considered one of the best
rifle shots in America. I never• miss my,..
mark. I saw Governor Seymour stand in
the midst of that excited crowd, addressing
his friends. I covered his heart with my
rifle. I could both hear and see him from
my window, I made up my - : mind that if
that crowd came from his speech to attack
the building, I . would .bring him to the
ground, and Ishoilid have done it, for my
ball never misses. What I saw that day
was quite enough for me, and he shall have
no influence that I can bring to bear."
