ANOTHISE "RADICAL EXCUSE FOE PICK-
ISM A QUARBEL."--An armed party of
Louisiana Democrats - visited the dwelling
house of Congressman NEWSRAM, on the
29th ult., leveled their guns at his wife, and
declared they would wash their hands in
his blood if they - could find him. These
"excuses" are very numerous of late. We
shall hear less of them, thank Heaven, after
GRANT B elected.
GEN J. F:HArernariFT, the able and ac
cornplished Auditor General-' of the State,
and Republican candidate for re-election,
arrived in the city yesterday, in order to
participate with his old comrades in arms at
the Soldiers' Convention last night. His
address on the occasion was such as only a
true and gallant soldier can make, full of
thought and enthusiasm. With such a
leader in the October fight we should have
no fears for the result in Pennsylvania, for /
in honoring him the people honor them
selves.
CoLonADo lris elected IlnAntenna), Repub

New Mexico has also elected a Repub

majority. Last year CLEVER (Democrat)

GENE SWEITZERIS SPEECH
The address of this distinguished citizen
and soldier, before the Convention of Boys
in Blue, at the City Rail last night, should
he read and thoughtfully pondered by every
honest Democrat in. the land. See how
calmly, clerirly and convincingly the speaker
presents the sole issue of this canvass, the
Inviolability of the Law 1 Read these
declarations, from a Demtgvrat who prefers
country to party, peace 'to civil war, the
supremacy of the laws 'to the threatened
'rebellion—who will not consent that his
vote shall be bargained away, by traitors to
the end that anarchy , may come in—who
protests, not (snip as a patriot, but as a
IDemocrat on •prinziple, against the New
York - conspiracy"to overthrow this Consti-
Kational Government.,
Gen. SWRITZER will vote, as he fought,
against the rebels, He supports GRANT and
:Nate, not BL, nt: and Revolution, and his
noble utterances of last evening will rally
thousands of honest Democrats loyally
,around the flag. The boundless enthusi
asm with which his declarations were re-
t
ceived by his auditors give the exact meas
ure of that influence which his example
must have wherever he is known.
THE REBEL CONSPIRACY.
The Memphis Avalanche, a representative
journal •of the rebel-Democracy, thus en
dorses the recent revelations by FORREST :
"For It long, rambling and incautious con
versation, General. Forrest's'statements are
remarkably correct. .4ilce an-honest man,
he bturtaeut the truth, and notwithstanding
his language will be garbled, Itsretofore,
we believe the truthful disclasures he lms
,0100 will redound' to the interest of the
Democracy troughout the Unip."
'Thew . "truthful disclosures" were printed
in the GAZETTE a few days since, and show-,
ed that a half million of the Southern De
mocracy are organized and armed, waiting
for their leaders to signal the inauguration
of revolution and anarchy , LkeePtitg, in the
meanwhile, their hands in practice br mob
bing, robbing, and murdering a few Union
men here and there. These revelations
"redound to the interest of the Democracy"
in Tennessee, but, as for Pennsylvania and
Ohio, not much. pn the contrary, Demo:
erotic journals in this quarter pooh-pooh at
these ."truthful disclosures" of a gigantic
rebel conspiracy pervading the South, as
mere excuses alleged 'by the the "radicals"
for "picking a quarrel and laying the blame
on the other side." Thus says the Pitts
burgh .Posl: -
"An excuse is wanted and is studiously
being prepared for the emergency should it
arise. The false pretenses--of threatened
disturbances in the South are of this char
acter. Threats-, of southern kidders; war
threats from General Blair; the rebellion to
be renewed; rebels to be crushed and rebel
Democracy' to be subdued and the like;
when they well know that not one, single
indication of disturbance or threats of din.
turbances or resistance to the government,
Lai transpired either North or South."
We much , admire the hardihood of this
denial, in the face as it is of the detailed,
minute and conclusive proofs outhunted by_
not only by the. State and Federal officials a; l
over the South, but ",blurted out honestly
by Gen. FORREST " and their truth emphati
cally affirmed and boasted of by the South
ern rebel journals. "There is but one way"
says Gen. BLAIR, " aid that is for the Presi
dent.-io declare, the Reconstruction acts null
and void." It is not Congress, it is not the
Judiciary to which the advocates of a revo-
lution appeal 1 It is to the arbitrary, despetie
unlimited, dietatoriai tea/ of one man, - the
" President, ll that the Democracy huve
pledged themselves, to sustain the abroga.
tion of the people's laws, not by legislation
but by force, not by . Judicial decrees but by
;he bayonet. If this be net rebellion andrevo
lution, what is it ? Have the plain words of
our language Yost "their natural meaning ?
When a candidate, selected by a great
party, for a public station the next to the
very highest in . the land, plainly avows, that
if elected he shall not be the exponent
. arid
supporter of the Law, that he shall, have no
regard for the judicial antho ity, but
that he shallpixiceed, having the sword' in
his hand, to - obliterate statutes and nullify
the settled policY of the Republic by the
actual use of arms, are we to understand
that all this, instead of being revolution and
treason as it is, is merely "a Radical excuse
for picking - a quarrel" ? When we ask
that the President, like. the people, should
uphold all laws until awfully abrogated,
that the Executive should, like all citizens,
look either to the law-making power of
Congress, or to the law-judging power- of
the Judiciary, for the correction of alleged
grievances or the redress of wrongs, do we
ask - an unreasonable thing ? When,
after testimony ample, undisputed by those
who, know best, and proudly boasted of
as "truthful disclosures, redounding
to the Interest of the Democracy," the rico
ple are distinctly warned that ; a gigantic
armed conspiracy exists in twelve .States of
the Union for a violent resistance to the
lawful ahthorities,are we to be told there are
"no Indications or threats of disturbance
or resistance to the Government?" When
we have come to know, by evidence multi
plied until it is as clear as the daylight, that
there exists at this moment, throughout the -
Sotith,a mine prepared and charged by rebel .
bandslci.r exploding into fragments the last
vestige of the 'lawful Federal
, authority;
that thg.train is carefully laid, 'and that 'it'
needs only the signal •from the leaders of
this treason to apply , the`match, and plunge
this battle-worn and exhausted country in
stantly intoahe gullt:ofanottidr tremendous
rebellion, the people , ,are asked to believe
that these stories t are all 'Medical , -hum: .
bugs,"-nothing but ."Iteptblican excuses to ;
provoke al quarrel,'" and to sit quietly in
peaceful confidence while'the emissaries "'of
the same conspiracy• amtige'them with idle
talk about greenbacks, bonds and such ad
captandum fol-de-rol.
No!' we appeal to every citizen who re
members the terrible experience of the past,
and who has the thimble-full of brains requi
site for comprehending the real danger of
PITTSBURGH GAZETTE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11. 1868.
the present'situation, to keep his eyes fixed
steadily on this one great tact;—that the
Democratic party avows its intention to
give this land not a President, but a despot,
not asworn officer of the Constitution and
the Law, but a military tyrant; not an Ex
ecutive, but a Destructive; not an American
Chief Magistrate, but an arbitrary and irre
sponsible Autocrat, whose compeer would
only be found in the annals of Russia or of
Mexico, or in the blood-stained history of
the old French revolution.
•
No 1 the People of these United States
win have their laws obeyed and the author
ity of their courts rsspected. If grievances
exist, if wrongs are complained of, either
by individuals or communities, the people
will not uphold any other than a constitu
tional and legal remedy therefor. If laws
are objectionable to the majority, this ma
jority are able and willing to repeal them;
but if the majority of the voters in this Re
public approve of any law or existing insti
tution, that law or that institution shall not
be violently nullified by any minority or on
any plea whatever. Thee American people
will not accept the sword as more pewerful
than the ballot, nor the bayonet as a more
potent element than the authority of the
Courts; they will not have the soldiery
of BLAIR, and the Ku-Klux conspiracy of
assassins and traitors to overthrow the tern s
ples of justice and law. Least of all, will
the loyal millions who have given so much
precious blood and have spent their materi
al resources like water in one terrible con
test to uphold the supremacy of the Union
and the ( rightful control of the majority of
the people, consent that the new doctrine of
revolutionary nullification shall be inaugu
rated by these desperate demagogues and
=pardoned traitors. The people will, by
its firm grasp upon the throats of these_
reckless scoundrels, deliver them up finally
"to the justice which has spared them too .
long. Nor would they (have escaped that
justice already: but for the unspeakably
.base treachery of one man whose high sta
tion, acquired by an assassination, has 'en
abled him to baffle the will and to avert the
righteous indignation of the people. When
the next rebellion shall be crushed, the peo
ple will take care that the last germ of trea
son shall be disposed of forever.
LET GOOD CITIZENS CHOOSE:
•
Brant says that if t h eir ticket is elected,
he would sweep away not by the legislative.
not through the judiciip pcwer, but by yow
der and ball, by the bayonets of the army,
those laws which afp so distasteful to the
Democracy.
The Southern Democracy declare that if
their ticitetlle defeated, they will again "ap
peal.to the God of battles" for that they may
as well die fighting as in any other way.
So it seems that we are sure to have either
a rebellion against . a 'majority, as in the lat
ter-ease, or a revolution and dictatorship
supported by a minority who are prevented
by circumstances from redressing their fan
cied grievances in alawful way. Of course,
no such. Mexican fashion of nullifying the
law can: be adopted without a struggle
which will convulse and imperil the Repub-.
lie. Either &Ant must back out—and
those who know him best say he is not the
man for that—or a tremendous viva war
will be under way within thirty days after
the first beat of his drums.
That the rebels mean fight ! in the event
of a defeat at the polls, is obvious to the
most stupid comprehension. If BLAIR is
elected, _he promises to fight for them in their
violent overthrow of existing laws and es
tablished governments.
It is palpable, therefore, that war, in one
guise or another, is before us.
Which is the better man, in that case, to
be entrusted with the guidance of thezreat
est intere,sts of the Nation—Gß.4.2cl., the
wise and cautious leader, the General who
was never beaten, or SEYMdrn, the timid,
vacillating politician, whoni his own State
has often voted her want_ of confidence in,
who talks, to mobs revelling in arson and
murder as his "friends," and who has al
ready pledged himself to help BLAIR in his
rebellion against the law?
The intelligent reader will perceive that
we out the whole case fairly and plainly ;
that we state nothing the facts do not war
rant;
and that the choice is simply and na
kedly a choice between a competent and pa
triotic President, who is willing and able
to crush rebellion in his hand, on the one
side, , and on the other a Dictator who, if,he
be not- himself worse than a Mexican
brigand, will be the weak and contemptible
accomplice of Revolution and Civil War.
It is between GRANT, who says that laws
must be repealed in a lawful way, and SEY
MOUR, who says that laws may be nullified
and trampled under foot if the Democracy
don't like them.
Is there any difpculty in such a choice?
How TttE Southern rebel-Democracy feel .
about the old " unpleasantness " and the
present political situation, under the encour
agement given to them by the New York
Convention, is plainly enough shown by the
annexed paragraph from the Mobile,R,egis
ter, of the 29th, which ardently supports
BrArti's plan for rubbing out the new 'State
governments by military. force. The Reg
ister says :
We are asked to get' on our knees and
.cutless a he 'which we do not believe, to
dishonor ourselves as selkonvicted traitors
and beg pardon for committing treason,
while in our innermost hearts C believe we
only fought' for the principles of free govern
,
menteMbodied in our common Constitution.
The South never "rebelled" against the.
Constitution - of the. United States, for it took,
it'otttwith it and set it up on its own altar; .
it never, "rebelled" against the Union, but
against a sectional party that did not respect
the Union ; nor did It "rebel" against the
North, for a peer cannot rebel ,against a '
peer. The South believed its rights,of free
dom and 'property were not sate-tinder an
abolition Radical administration, and if any.
, doubted it then; the bigot6r, tyranny and
cruelty of that party since the war has gone
far to remove those doubts. And we are,of
those who to-day believe that the blood
poured out in this war as 'a protest against
the "tinconstitutionalism" of .the, Repuhli
can Party was a 'necessary libation to the
genius of free American institutions, and
will yet, under Heaven, prove the salvation
of the American Constitution.
THE SOUTH ( IN ITS OLD GROOVE.
The Southern lunacy is again running in
its beaten/ course. The Hot-spurs, of the
HAIIPTox and HOWELL COBB type, are
rapidly successful in dragooning the more
moderate men into their views, and / in pre
paring the train which, when exploded,
and blood shed, as was the case in the at
tack on Fort Sumpter. shall precipitate the
entire South into the madness of another
armed revolt against the lawful authorities.
Now, as then, ti ere is reason for believing
that an actual majority of the Southern
whites are in their own better jUdgment
averse to any revolutionary or violent
measures. But their opposition to the fire
eaters is passive,' unfirganized, and will be
extinguished again as it was eight years
ago, and by the same audacious tactics of the
rebel leaders. So long as the Southern re
action was to be confined to the bribery
or even to the in imidation of the freedmen,
every friend of he old institution of sla
very has been q ite content to approve or
to participate in i . All agree that it would
be comfortable a d profitable to reduce the
enfranchised race to a position which should
illustrate their ominal freedom by the
strong antagonis of a dependence upon
their, former masters as helpless and coilf
plete as in those other days; but, beyond
the easy method provided for this practical
restoration of the old relittions, through the
ordinary channels'of persuasion, interest or
tear, we do not believe that a majority of
the Southern people are even now desirous
of going. This will not satisfy the 'old
leaders of the lost cause, and their
game is, therefore, that which has
been once so successful, of driving
the entire white race headlong and with a
rush into some overt and decisive act of re
•belllon. How soon, and in what precise
shape, this may come, is not easy to antici
pate; that it - must come soon, In the eon
tinned absence of an effective Federal inter
vention; we are already convinced. • We
all know well enough how and what they
propose to do, after a Democratic triumph.
It is . what they may do, after a Democratic
defeat, or, with even more probability,' be
fore the Norember dlection, about which loyal
people may well be anxious.
MR. Sgy3totrrt would like to have it un
derstood that he did an extensive business
in the way of issuing commissions to Union
officers during the war. Undoubtedly, he
i did a good deal in that way, and it is much
better understood that he really wishes.
Finding that all his efforts to suspend the (
draft in New York were bootless, even the
asylums burned and the Union men mur
dered by his friends, not effecting the
desired object, he changed his tactics and
busied himself in giving commissions to the
drafted men, and sent them down to Vir
ginia to take command over the veterans
and experienced officers and soldiers who
had so far borne voluntarily all the shocks
of the war. • The result was a partial ac
complishment of his design ( ; he weakened
the Union cause by - contributing to it so
many ignorant and incompetent partizans,
who were only at the front because they
could'nt help it, and the mischief thus caus
ed was not repaired until after the organiza
tion of Examining Boards and the dismissal
of many of t. , EYNIOVit' s drafted officers from
the - sorvice. These facts are stated by one
who knows all about them, Gen. KEITER,"-
a distinguished Union officer from Ohio.
And that was the nice way in which
HORATIO SEYMOUR showed his love for his
country.
Is NEBRASKA all the young men of spirit
and enterprise are found in the ranks of the
Union Republican party. The Democratic
journals of that State seek to account for the
fact by. Saying that the Republican party
is one Of fuss and feathers, parade and
show. We suppose the young men, who
have had the spirit to settle down in new
homes out west, are animated by the sante
feelings which 1111 the hearts of those in our
own commonwealth, and necessarily .find
themselves arrayed ou t the side of right
against wrong. '..ine-tenths of the intern ,
gent young men of America, who will cast
their virgin votes at the forthcoming Presi
dential
campaign, are found standing under '
the banner and leadership of the Great Cap
tain, and Democratic papers need not strive
to drive them away froM the ranks of the
the Union, by any such derisive appella
tions as "voting. infants" and "trundle
bedders."
The One Democrat of Goshen
The town of Goshen, Addison county,
Vermont. has one solitary Democratic voter
who for years has stood alone in his glory.
At the last election his one ballot was de.
posited.ligainst sixty-three for Page. This
year Wm. Contain, the Republican can
vasser, called to find how he intended to
vote.• Ile replied: "16u may put me
down as doubtful this time." On mention
ing the fact to some Republicans at the ho
tel afterward, the latter told the canvasser
that they were sorry Barnes was doubtful;
they wanted hint for the amusement of the
thing to record his solitary vote again for
Edwards, and then come over at the Presi
dential election. Content thereupon re
turned to Barnes and advised him not to be
recorded as doubtful, but to vote as he had
done before in the State elections. The
latter hesitated a moment and then repliell:
"Very well, I guess I( will do so, but all
h—_can't keep me from Voting for Grant
and' Colfax in November." its vote was
depcisited for Edwards, while Page received
eighty-four ballots in the township, an in
crease of twenty-one.

Summing It Up
In a recent speech, in Illinois, Gen. Logan
closed as follows :
Now, my fellow-citizens, I desire to read
for my conclUsion some extracts I have
prepared, which, I think, sums up this whole
question in a nutshell:
Why the Democratic arty should not be
trusted: '
First—The Democr tic party forced upon
the country and the R publican administra
tion the expenditure of more than $4,000,-
000,000 from the Treasury.
Second—That the rebellion was begun for
the expresspurpose of overthrowing Repub
lican institutions and establishing upon their
ruins a slaveholding oligarchy, and that all
the burdens of taxation, past, present, and
prospective, are the necessary consequence
of a Democratic rebellion.
Third—The vast sacrifice of life on the
battle field, and in the hospitals and prisons,
is justly due to the treasonable action and
purposes of the Democratic leaders. ;
Fourth—That in the preparation of this
rebellion the whole power of the last Demo-:
cratic administration was exhausted, the
public treasury plundered, the navy scat
tered or disinantled, the army placed, under
the command of traitors and carried beyond
the reach of the incoming administration,
and within the borders of the contemplated
revolutionary Government.
Fifth—That all these acts were - done in
obedience to the orders of the Democratic
conspirators, and by the advice and with
the approval of the Democratic leaders, in
every section of the country.
Sizth—These same leaders controlled the
Democratic Nominating . Convention, dicta
ted its platform, and designated its candi
dates.
Seventh—That these same leaders, by their
public orators and press, declare it to be
their settled policy that Democratic success
shall restore to the late Democrats and
rebels in arms supremacy in the government
of the nation, and that all that was lost by
rebel defeat on the battle field, shall be re
gained by the election of the Democratic
candidates.
Eighth—That they, the Democratic rebel
leaders, affirm only, as a consequence of
their triumph, the renewal of the war, the
destruction of the reorganized States, and
the overthrow of the Republican representa
tive branch of the Government, and its
subjection to Executive will and dictation.
Next.. why ehould the Republican party be
trusted!
Firet—That of all its millions of men not
one, during the war, was a traitor. Every
man stood firmly by liberty, by the Consti
tution, by the flag, and the Union.
• 'Second—That its civil administfatio n f
the Government, notwithstanding the exl
ge.ncies of the war, has saved the /people, as
compared with Democratic rule, $80,000,-
000 within the last eight years, being an
average of over $10,000,000 per annum.
Third,----That it has actually paid and can
celled nearly $1,700,000,000 of the liabilities
incurred during the war, and since the close
of the war; while steadily reducing the
public taxes, it has reduced the public debt
from $2, 757,689,539.43 to $2,510,245,866.74,
making a total payment of the debt of $247,-
443,684.69.
Fourth—That it has reduced taxes nu
different articles, the last two Congresses
(the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth) to $190,-
000,000.
lila—That but for the( obstinacy of the
Democrats in Congress and of their pliant
tool, Andrew Johnson, a reduction of the
Interest on the public debt, amounting to at
least $40,000.000 per annnm, would have
been provided for by the Funding Bill.
Sixth—That the Republican party, by its
candidates and platform, is irrevocably
pledged to economy, to the maintenance of
the public faith, the preservation of the
peace and the unity of the States, the liber
ty and prosperity of the people, and that

nights and nornings are surcharged with the ele
