DEMOCRATIC •EGOTIM. Mil . ? Dig.
LOYALTY.
Prior to each Presidential election, for,
more than thirty years,, the members of the
dominant faction in the Democratic party
shave regularly set up fierce howls in favor
of nullification, or secession, or rebellion.
Just in proportion as the. progress of events
has seemed to undermine their influence
with the masses-, of the population, and
threaten them with. banishment, more or,
less permanent, 6oin —th_e seats of povter,
they prostituted and disgraced, =have these
howls increased in volume and bitterness—
In 1856, when it' appeared probable that
Mr. JOHN, C. , FHHISONT would be elected
President, by the concurrence of a decided
majority of the States, and with none of the
inhabitants resting under disabilities except
the blacks, they became more clamorous
am:Lever before. In substance they claim
ed it to be uncopstitutional for any other
party than the Democratic to elect a Presi
dent, to obtain majorities in the two Houses
of Congress, to frame a policy for the goy-.
ernment to,pursue, and to carry that pol
icy into effect. With unbounded arro-,
'gance, they substantially claimed, af
ter the manner - of imperial despots, to
have a patent' from the Almighty; and
distinctly
,recoguised in the Constitution
itself, exclusively . empowering them to
direct and control the Government, leaving
to the pepublicans, and whoever else did
not accept their ideas and fall in with their
plans,'the duty of passive obedience and
the, payment of such taxes as migl be lev
ied upontlmm. They carried this, infatua
ton to the extent of making all the arrange
mentS essential to a disruption of the Union
in case Mr. BUCHANAN had been defeated
and Mr. FREmostrrelected. Gigantic frauds
upon the purity of the ballot-boixes, which
they perpetratbd here in Pennsylvania, and
which were afterwards disclosed by formal
proceedings in the Courts of Philadelphia,
left them in possession, of the national ad
ministration, And in consequence they con
cludedlo defer a resort to,civil war for four
years more, Inviting to their. power to in
timidate their opponents, and to their ability
to corrupt the elections, to renew atthe: ex
piration. of that period their lease •of
authority.
Befdre the Presidential nominations were
made in 1860, they became greatly alarmed
in view of the manifest concentration of
..pulai opinion and feeling against the ex
tension of Slavery, to which extension they
stood committed, as right and lawful in it
self, and as necessary to the continuance of
their domination in political affairs. They
saw plainly that threats or fisuds, on their
part, would be ineffectual to prevent their
banishment, and they embarked renewedly
in their old conspiracy to revolutionize the
government, trusting to their fierceness in
the onset, and to their detterity in mani
pulation,- to give them success. As soon 'as
Ltsbour was elected, they threw off
the faint disguises they had previously worn;
and deliberately plunged the nation into the
horrors of civil war.
No sooner was the rebellion, suppressed,
than they reverted to the ideas and tactics
which led to it. They systematically de
nounced everythirrg that had been done by
the government, contrary to their liking,
since they were`thrust out of the adminis
tration, as unconstitutional and void.. They
insisted that the tea seceding States, by re
hellion, had wroxiht no forfeiture of their
rights and prerogatives, but were entitled to
coma back, just as they were, with their
Constitutions binding them to fealty to the
ConfederaCy, and all their officers, from Gov
ernor down to pathmasters, sworn to sup-
Port that fraudulent government
For the last three months, and with in
creasing audacity, they have prociainied
their intention to be to resort to war again
in case their interpretation of the Constitu
tion, and their demands in behalf of the re
volted States in accordance with that ex
egesis, shall not be accepted and complied
with. We have heretofore shown the in
culcations of BLAIR, HAMPTON, TOOMBS,
COBB and others on these points, Wo now
direct attention to the declaration of Mr.
T. W. CLAGETT, Democratic candidate for
Congress in the Ileokui, lowa, district.
He says : _
"Do not Northern Radicals, who arc the authors
of all the miseries which have befallen our country
with'. the last six years, know that the two m• Won
Dmvera'ie voters in t he North wilt near..per" ,, t
woof/I,r Radtrat to occupy the, Presidential chair
who may /moved in g•tting a , majority - of the
(oral cotes, rather by excluding th- Nouth,rn States
from voting, or byforcibly ct-prisin a majority of
the wh..te citizens of 'hood States of the etectiee /ran ,
— chin -
"We tell thentotshat the days of their tyranny and
thieving are fast' drawing to &close, and that they
will go out of office at the next Pre 4d.rstia t • lection
•tther by bailors OIL BY IULLE7B—by ballots,. if the
people are allowed to vote, .and by bullets It they
are not." . .!'
What Mr. CLAGGETT and his associates
have at heart is to prevent the Republicans
from electing the next President. His and
their idea is that such an election, however
accomplished,,, .would ,be unconstitutional.
That is only a renewal of the old Demo
cratic egotism, which sets up their explana
tion of the Constitution in the pace of the
instrument itself. He imagines General
Gnarrr can be elected President only by
excluding the seceding States from voting,
osby forcibly depriving a majority of the
white citizens of those States from the
right of suffrage; or, if ho does not so im
agine, he fancies these are the good points
to press upon multitudes of men who will
not stop to verify whether they are well or
falsely taken.
• Of the ten seceding States se,ven• have al
ready been fully restored to representation,
arsiviill certainly participate lathe election
of President In ,November. Of the white
citizens in, the Bowling States only ten per
cent. remain under any disabilities what
ever. Ninety per cent. of them j voted. at
the 'recent elections hi those 13tates, or, If
they did not, 'voluntarily refrained in order
that no results , might be reached , under the
reconstruction acts. The-Republicans, as a
body, are content .that all.white c.itlzens of
the seceding Statist shall vate:or hold office
who now bear truenlleglance to the _Urildn,
no tktter-whtit they did four or, $X years
ago.;' 'Having denumatistedtheli liberality
in this regard, by positive enactments they

them. They have listened to the insolence
of 'Democratic assumptions -for years
put without being moved therebir, and
will not be deflected from their pur
•
pose by it eithe r flaw or
.i hereailks. As
Ameridan citizens they have the Same an.
thority as their neightiOrs to construe the
Constitution, to nominate candidates for
President and Vice President, to elect them,
as also majorities of .the Senate and House
of Representatives, to frame a platform or
policy of administration, and to carry it
into execution. All these things they have
done heretofore and will do again, not ask
ing leave of the Democrats, but in virtue
of inherent right and the force of numbers.
They intend' to elect GRANT and. COLFAX
by a majority of the Electoral votes that
my be legally, east, , but this is not all; they
intend to give GRANT- and COLFAX much
more than half the Electoral votes that
would be Cast in case all the States were
reconstructed and shared in the election;
and they will then be ready-to meet any
measures Mi:CLACIETT and his associate in
cendiaries may be ; pleased to institute.
ORGANIZATION-EACH VOTER'S
DUTY. '
There is no danger that any of us will
over-estimate the importance of a perfect
organization of the Republican strength in
this Presidential canvass. It ought to be
understood that this sort of work cannot be
too well or too much done, even were we
to succeed as well as is the regifiar custom
of our friends in New Hampshire, 'who, a
month before the State elections, are able to
anticipate the result with a precision which
has been found to appr oximate within one
per cent. of the fact. This would still leave
the issue of our polls in'greater doubt than
it is comfortable to contemplate. The Re
publicans of each county, precinct and
school-district, ward and block in this
Commonwealth, ought to be able to know,
reliably, the complexion of every vote
therein, whether for us, against us or doubt
ful, and, if doubtful, which way it inclines,
or may be inclined, as early as the first day
of September. The great battici is to be
fought at the October polls; if we there stif
fer a decision to go against us, simply, as it
would-be, from our failure to get out a full
vote of our friends, it would bie next to an
impossibility for UR to repair' the damage in
the three weeks thereafter intervening be
fore the Presidential election. There is but
one way to ensure that full vote at the first
election—and that is to know exactly who
our friends are, and to, complete beforehand
the needful arrangements for ensuring their
attendance. Peimsylvania will poll at each
of the two elections not less than 600,000
votes; she gave. over 597,000 votes two
years since. Last year she polled but 533,-
000 votes, 46,000 'Republicans not voting,
while the opposition put in within 23,000 of
their full strength. It was due to this shame
ful neglect that the infamous frauds, of the
Copperheads ,in Clearfield, Philadelphia,
and elsewhere, were successful in obtaining
the small nominal majority for that. ticket.
If our full vote had been out, these frauds
would hate been unavailing, and we should
have laid the SnAnswoon ticket out cold, in
spite of its frauds, outrages, coffee-colored
forgeries of naturalization _ and the shed
- blood of its murdered victims. We want:all
that sort of thing effectually checked this
yeltr, and the way to do it—the only way—
is by organizing t'ae'proper committees, and
sub-dividink the work down to each' rural
school district and to each block, and even
to each side of each street of,the block, so
that the local committees shall know ex
actly whom to'depend upon as friends or as
opponents.
Give us fair play,,iand we have a - Clear ma
jority of twenty thousand in this State,
upon ordinary issues and candidates. With
GRAZIT for our greet ieader, and' upon the
momentous issue which will divide the Com
monwealth for Peace or another Civil War,
we can, upon a fair,contest, very nearly
treble that majority. But fair play is just
the very thing that the Cbpperhead swin
dlers who are managing the opposition don't
mean we shall' have If they can help it. They
intend to beat us inl October by colonizing
long the borders, especially from their rebel
lends in Maryland and Virginia; by frau
dulent naturalizations all over the State, and
by stuffing the boxes and cheating in the
count wherever the chance offers. Their
majority on the Supreme Bench has Played
r an effective card right into their hands, by
defeating. the will of the people's represen
tatives expressed in favor of a well-guarded
and honest ,scheme of registry. It
is onderstoOd on
, all hands that they
hake - no hopes in -a fair and honest
election, and that they are bound to win if
they can by such rascalities as we have
hinted at.' This villainy we attribute main
ly to their leaders, the men who manipu
lated. the outrages and murder °Mast Octo
ber, and who are laying their - plans to re
peat the same infamous tactics this fall; the
great mass of the Democratic party are
nocent of all complicity in these crimes,
except that they are not wholly guiltless so
long as they.continue heedlessly to place
•
their unquestioning confidence in these ras
cally intriguers. We are using plain lan
guage for we are dealing with an Infamous
class of criminals; we hold that offenders
Agatha the purity of the suffrage are, under
our Ilepubilean institutione, the greatest
possible offenders.against the most vital in
of the people.: '
The work of organization will be facilita
ted and its efficiency vastly promoted, if our
Republican friends, each and all of them,,
the "high` privates" ; in the noble army
which follows GRANT'S banner of Union
and Peace, will remember the. .eve ry_
is constituted a committeeman, to aid the
county, precinct, and bloek-Committees with
his information and advice. Let every man
4d out who is the Vigilance Committee
man for his immediatsulistrict, and make it
his business, to keep him posted in the senti
ments of every, voter of that neighborhood.
Let the keel', commituiss,he constant
communication:, with those , of the county.
Let all 'requests kir information. be PrOmPtlY
responded to. Let every goOd Repubilein
feel that his influence goes, sometimes, as
•
far as, or even farther than, his own vote,
and that if he can win one vote from' the
opposition, .or confirm to the Union, one
doubtful man, he deierves well of his con
science and of a loyal country,- Let each
man determine ' that the efficiency of his
t ,
own vote depends mate ially • upon how
itlis overlapied by fr udulent ballots,
from strangers who have n right whatever
at his poll. Let us know exactly whose
a L
ballots have a title to t o same box with
ours, and let us be able to say, by noon of
the 13th of October, th we know every
Republican vote in our i mediate precinct
to be securely deposited.:3 When the' pre
liminary work is so well done as to admit
of that, the 'Republicans of our County and
State may justly feel thtit their organization
is complete.
POLITICAL ITEMS.
THE Democratic party congratulates itself
that it can now make'an offensive war. The
nation will prepaA to hold its nose.
GEN. BUELL,who wasted one of the finest
armies in the Vesf in 4 series of McClellan
isms, naturally supports Seymour and Blair.
EVERY mane in the South whose words
betray the fact that he is yet a Rebel at heart
is for Seymour and plain Remember this,
comrades.
"I LINE GRANT," said a German the
other day, "because he, don't blow. He
minds his own business, and Makes no•fuss
about it."
TR& Fort Wayne (Indiana) Gazette an
nounces that Gen. .Taines B. Steedman re
pudiates Seymour and Blair. We can
scarcely credit it.
.Mn. S. TAYLOR SUIT, to whom the Demo
cratic nomination for Congress in the Fifth
Marylrnd district was tendered, has declined
to be a candidate, and, will support Grant
and Colsax.
Ma. ARISOLD, editor of; the Germania,
in conversation with a citizen the other
evening, said : "I have been a Democrat
all my life, and -I am still a Democrat; but I
am no Secesh."—Zanesville Courier.
THE Hon. , Thomas N. Stillwell, former
y Republican '
...Representative; in Congress
rom the Kith :Indiana distriCt, who wan
dered off after strange gods upon the occa
sion of Johnson's apostasy, is now earnest
ly at work for Grant and Colfax.
ONE or THoymeitris.—Said a well known
Democrat to-us yesterday, "I 'have about
made up my mind to vote . for Grant. I.
can't stand the rebel crew which Seymour
is gathering about him." Such observa
tions are very common.just now.
HoN. DAVID - Knkoult, who has been
identified with the Johnson party of In
diana, and who for the past two years has
been_claimed by the Democrats, refuses to
support either the Democratic State' or Na
tional tickets. He goes for ' Grant, Colfax
and Baker.
`PEAT DEMOCRACY HAS ODST.—Before
the Democrats brought on the late terrible
civil war, a barrel of flour could be pur
chased for $5, now you have to pay $lO,
and so hi regard to all I the necessaries, of
life. Elect Seymour and Blair, and bring
on anotherorevolution, as promised by Blair,
and what is to become of the country.? Let
thoughtful men ponder. ,
WHILE in Richmond, Chief Justice Chase
in conversation with one of the Judges
there said that the Rep'ublicans in Congress
were needlessly frightened about the Su
preme Court. at the time the bill was passed
restricting the jurisdiction of the Court so
that it could not pass upon cases involving
the Reconstruction laws, because, as Mr.
Chase said, the Coart would have decided
them constitutional. (Bosh !)
MAJ. EvAss, ap Indiana officer, at a re-
tent meeting.in Indianapolis, in the course
of a speech, said the onlyindependent work
he had ever known Blair to do as an army
officer was his march down through lower
Tennessee and Mississippi when Grant was.
besieging Richmond. When asked by
Grant if he had taken any Prisoners, he re.
Plied, "No, but I have burTe d—d sight
of houses, and captured all e niggers."(
BLAIR ! Shades of the chivalry f Who
is he? The chief Spoon-stealer and Buin

State must experfeace a most profound. sat- 2

joy is their owh and a "scallawag" inter

Hox. J. N. Monars, of Illinois, says
A few days after the nominations were
made by the Convention which assembled
in New York on the. 4th ult., I had a con
versation in Washington City with Genoral
Cushing, of Massachusetts, in which that
eminent jurist' and politician said : "The
simple question to determine.at the election
Is, shall General Grant or Frank Blair be
President for the next four. years ? for if
Seymour is elected he will not live a year."
POLITICAL Ilaux-KAni.—The 'Sun, inde
pendent, has tire following word of
advice for the Derriocracy: ',`General Blair's
revolutionary letter killed ;the Democratic
ticket as soon as his name was put upon it.
The Democratic rebel orat4rs at the South
older in their business than Blair, and just
as violent and , revolutionary, are bard at it
completing tbe Work. If they are al:owed
to keep on in this way much longor, it is
doubtful whether the Democracy will be
able to carry Kentucky, Delaware and Ma
ryland; Gov. Seymour ought to hurry and
call, offhis dogs. They, are • hunting no
body but their own party and its principal
candidate.!'
Tan New York Times makes this grand
point on the XlVth amendment
Thus stands the Constitution to-day.
Even the election of Seymour for President
cannot alter the matter. The nullification
of reconstruction cannot .repeal this...consti
tutional amendment. ,
And what will be the effect oi this,
amendment in its opeiatien in the South ?
It takes all its strength from: the. Democratic
platform. That platform. nullifies recon
struction, but does ,any clear headed matt
for a moment suppose that Louisiana or•
Mississippi or South Carolina would exclude
the negroes from the suffrage, when by so
doing they would sacrifice nearly one-ballot
their power in the. United ,States Congress.
The ratification of the XlVth- amendment
furnishes, therefore, the 'strongest niotive , to
the Southern States to support the rec ol !-'

Rebels 'stun Graut at St. Joseph—Sharp
Rebuke by Gen. Sherman:
ST: Louis, July 80.—A most dastaqy
and villainous insult was offered to General
Grant and his party on the occasion of their
passage through .St. Joseph the other day,
The crowd at the depot, on the General's
arrival, was immense, and a most cordial
.and enthusiistic welcome was given him.
It was observed that a party of rebels was
in the crowd, and, from certain suspicions
movements, it was evident they meant mis
chief. When the General arrived:at the
Pacific House the crowd bad increased "to
several thousand, and in answer to the most
vociferous cheers the General appeared on
the balcony and-spoke as-follows..
"FELLow Cruz-gam—l thank you for
this very cordial reception, but I cannot
make you a speech. I have been traveling
all the time for the past two weeks in the
Western country, and it is the first time I
have ever been in the West. I am tired
and worn ciut, and-you must therefore ex
cuse me for not speaking."
The 'General then retired. This little
speech was received with tumultuous cheers,
after which General Sherman was loudly
called for, and finally appeared on the bal
cony. ; At this juncture the plans of the
rebels were developed.
A man named E. 0. Hays, having been
filled with whiskey for the occasion, tooted
a horn and others cheered for Seymour and
hooted and howled in the most boisterous
and insulting manner. As soon as this 'ex
citement subsided a little, Gen. Sherman
spoke as follows: "Gen. Grant and myrielf
.know how to appreciate any spirit of res
pect, but neither he nor - Myself are to be
" disconcerted by any large. crowd. We are
used to large crowds, and we cannot ,be
disconcerted.. Gen. Grant -has declined to
make a speech, and I think occupying the
position he does before the country, he acts
the part of wisdom."
Here some one called for three cheers for
Seymo'ur, and the cheers of the'ruffiansand
,the groans of the loyal people interrupted
the General for some tune. As soon as
partial quiet was restored, Gen.' Sherman
said: "Gentlemen, ,I do not in general
counsel violence, buti,were La,citizen of St.
Josph, I would take that man,[referring to
the'one who commenced the disturbance],
- down to the Missouri river and- duck him.
We • have fought rebels, and we thought
they had had enough of fighting." This
sentiment called out prolonged and hearty
_cheers, and the General, finding he could,
not be heard further, retired.
The crowd lingered around the Pacific
Howie until a very late hour, and General
Grant, finally, at ten o'clock, held a levee,
and shook hands with a very large number
j the people. General Sherman also par
ticipated, and an hour more was spent - very
pleasantly.
The old rebellioqs spirit of 1861 is crop
ping out in many parts of this State, and.
there will be lively times and not a little
bloodshed before the campaign ;is over.
Frank Blair's letter, and the teachings of
Wade , Hampton, Gov. Wigs,; Robert
Toombs, and their allies, - are _haying their
legitimate effect, and cannot result but in
tumult and conflict.
Gen. Grant arrived here last night, and
after spending the morning in the city, went
out to his farm. • .

IS YOUR DISEASE RHEUMATISM I
Many persons, supposing they aresuffering from
this disease, have applied Liniments, Plasters and
