Clly Telegraph to the Plttsbnrigh Gazette.l • • STEUBENVILLE, 0, Sept. 25, 1868. ...„ FBIENkS AND 1 YELLOW-errizErna : The time is rapidly approaching when you will be called upon to choose whom you will I trust fo the Chief Executive power of this nation i r the next four years, who shall ex ercise t e law-making: power as your rep resenta ves in Congress during the next Congressional term. You have never made a choice so important to yourselves, to your country, and to mankind; forupon it may rest the issues of.peace or of war, of do mestic tranquility or of civil discord, -of freedom or of slavery. In short, all the ' -blessings that can follow good government, or that a bad government can inflict upon the human race. At the last Presidential election the country was,in the midst of a bloody war and had fort three years been struggling for existence against treason and rebellior. The fortune of war was so varied that some patriots began to feel 'doubtful as to the result, while on the other hand the rebels, strong in military power. and en couraged by sympathizing • friends in the Northern and Western States, were bold in defiance and boasted that itlneeded only f r their final success that their friends in the Northern States should carry the Pres idential election. These friends, who had resisted the war at every st .ge, were equally bold and • confident in their expectation that their hour of triumph was at hand. But these hopes and expectations were doomed to ignominious overthrow at the polls .by ihe election of Abraham Lincoln, and on the field of battle by our army. under the command of Gen. Grant. [Applause.] Overwhelmed by this disaster, political and military, the rebels gave up in despair, declared their Cause the "lost cause," and humbly sued - for life, liberty and, property, professing to be deeply grateful for the generous terms they :were offered. Of the causes that led to the rebellion and the justification of a nation in prosecuting the war, it is needless here to dwelt. They are fresh in your recollection.. The graves of 300,000 patriot soldiers, slain in battle by the rebels are still green, the tears of orphans and widows and bereaved parents still flow, and the maimed and woundpd soldiers around us are - living me morials ofthe cruelty of the rebels in their war against the government of the United States. You will bear in mind, hewever, that the rebellion was occasioned by a thirty years, conspiracy of those whom Mr. Johnson happily termed the slave holdingoligarchy of the Southern States, an oligarchy based upon a landed- monopoly and alive labor: This slaye-holding aristocracy thirsted to extend their territorial and political power, and by extending their system into the free States to obta n a monopoly 'of the fertile land and rich minerals of those States, and ultimate' to obtain ,control of the Gov- i ernment, Experience has shown that the sy of free labor and slave labor arolmstilestem and cannot exist together, so that a foothold of slavery is an impassible barrier to free em igration and would give to the slave holders not only a monopoly of lands, products and minerals,, but command of the great chan nel of commerce to the Padtle and to the nations of the East, and would make them the richest people on the face of the globe. ••This ambitious aim was sternly resisted in the Northern States. Mindral of the for ' tunes of war and fearful 'otlelfty, the first election of Mi. Lincoln was deemed by the slave holders a fitting occasion fer the out break of rebellion. On the day after The, Presidential election the flag of the United States was hauled down and the Palmetto' flag ran up in Charleston. Conventions' for secession were asked in all the slaveholdiug States, and very soon ten States organized at M mtgomery the sO called Confederate Government, hostile to the Government of the United States, and transferred its capital to Richmond. Im mediately afterwards forts, arsenals; mag azines, arms, ammunition, ship-yards, ships of war, and the public money, were seized and converted to the purp ass of the rebel lion. The navigation of the Ohio and Po tomac rivers was closed. The Northern men and Northern women were impritioned orbanished from the slaveholding S•ates. Armies wore levied, the forts and troops of the United States were besieged, bombard ed and captured, and the capital of 'the na tion at Washington was beleaguered and threatened by hostile forces. In this ,condition of thines the first troops were called out in defense of his nation, and the first war loan negotiated, and for every life that has been lost, every drop of blood that has been expended, every dollar that has been laid out, every bond or note that has been issued, every tax that has been collected, the slave-hold ing aristocracy are responsible—they and their sympathisers in the North and West ern States who urged them to hold on, 'to carry on the war until they could obtain control of the Government _at - the next Presidential electioe. . The measures of Mr. Lincoln to defend the government received the highest sane. tion. The government and leg slatures of the loyal States vied with each other in urging enlistments. Congress at its first session voted thousands of men and billions of dollars to support him. The people ll:eked ,by thousands and thousands, to join the army. The soldiers in every a .mp front the Mississippi to the 'Rapidan, from every corps, brigade, regiment and company • shouted to their brethren at Lime to Stand by the Government and rally round the flag. These measures of defense were not with out opposition, for about ihe very, time Sherman and his army were forcing their . way over _the, fortltioations and entrench m, nts of Atranta,",a ;Detnocratio Conven tion at Chicago declared the war o failure and demanded •a- cessation of hostilities. This made a plain, - broad Usu.., which was soon to become the leading issue of the Presidential canvass. The result was the &Edelen of twenty-one States, two huh- . dred and thirteen electoral votes, and Dyer twenty Millions of ; people supported their Government. The estimate of General Grant upon this result Wexpressed in thd following tele gram: . '.Cie y Point, Novensber 10, 1814, Hon. Ed win M. Stanton, Secretary of War—Enough now seems to be known to say who is hold the reins of government for the next four v ears. I congratulate the President for his double victory. The election hav ing passed off quietly with no blood shed or riot throughout the land is a victory worth more to the Government than a- bat: tie won. RebLdom and Europe will con strue it so. U. S. GRANT, tieutenant General." (Applause.) Encouraged by the p , ogle and by the army, on, the let of =M SEPTEMB I September, 1863, Abr ham Lincolnitruck a blow at the' root of the rebellion y the emancipation procla Lion , liberatin four millions of slaves, s rengthening o it jar mies and carrying ii• may to the h art of the rebels. The fu ll effect of this • great measure was not a parent until netr the close of the war; but now, when the resto ration of slavery is a cheriShed hope of those most hostile to the general govern ment, it cannot be too well considered. The wealth and power of the rebels were main () ly in their slaves. Th ey were the laboring and producing class, nd without their la bial. the plantations w re 6flittle value. . By a system of enforce and unpaid labor the rebel master was ableto sow his lands,gath er his crop, and even clothe his family, and.furnish supplies to the army, while the whole white population could engage in war. It was thus that slavery was found to be ft mighty - engine of war, more pow-. erful than belonged to any other people. •But it was quite different in the Northern States. Every Union soldier who left his home to ioin the army went from the farm, the workshop or the manufactory, and di minished the productive industry of the State. In his absence the crops were un gathered and rotted upon the ground, the hammer was silent. the manufactory stood still. lie had no slave to do his labor and support his family for nothing. But the emancipation of the slaves changed the position of parties. The slaves left the plantations and flocked wahin our lines. Thousands upon thousands joined our armies and performed military work. The condition of the war was, therefore, in some degree equa ized, and this great act ef Mr. Lincoln's carried dismay into the hearts of the rebels and strengthened the, hearts of loyal people. Besides, a large and power ful party, who regarded slavery as God forbidden and a crime, and had been labor= log for years to abolish or lirhit it, gathered new hope and joined to help to bring the war v.) a close. The eminent speaker then explained how essential was credit and good faith to a government, and that no government can exist without debt in time of warj corn par-, ing France, Russia, Austria, Great Britain, Spain, Italy and the Papal States—all the powers of the world rely on 'their credit, the same in the United States; how in the commencement of the war the coun try had no arms or ammunition,' accoutre ments, ships of war, or money; -the people sustained the government by having good faith, and thus the country was sustained and conducted in safety. He said, then, on the meeting of Congress loans were issited and moneys wore received; the several acts of Congress were also exe cuted, as the civil rights bill; the measures adopted for the cast off of the rebellion; the measures taken for the widows, the or phans and the wounded. Then eulogizing Grant as the greatest commander in the world, asking why he should not be elec ted; and Colfax. who filled ono of the high est offices in the land,occupying the Speak er's chair three times in succefesion. He said ifa man would hide from the boy, the gun which his father carried through our battles, and on his death bed, with bleed ing Wounds, bequeathed it to the boy, that man w,' , uld not vote for Grant. The speak er gave a touching narrative of Gen. Grant's life, all his career from a boy until a Gov ernorlipppirktetlhitn as a Colonel to a re fractory regirtientOitirrating — all tbellArtla won until the great capture of Richrrfond.

Mr. Blanton concluded his brilliant \ i speech with an eloquent appeal to all loyal people, to all who have their country at heart, o work • assiduously, to work with ardor, and by the election of Grant give liberty, contentment and happiness for you and the party forever.

Nnw ORLEANS, September 25.—The ne gro contestant of Reuben White, Senator elect from the Caddo District, was admit ted yesterday, White being-declared in eligible. Registratien was opened to-day. Intense excitement was occasioned in the city by the refusal of registration to foreigners nat uralized in the Fifth and Sixth District Courts, on the ground that the naturaliza tion was illegal. The decision was sus tained by the Chairman of the State Board of Reglitration. Three armed negroes had an affray with a white man in tho French market this morning. One of the negroes was killed. The white man escaped, but will probably be arrested to-night.

Numbers grew into the innumarable, hundreds into thousands, and the cry was "still they come." The fame of some of the best pub lic speakers in the nation drew many there, but the majority went out of pure patriot ism, intending to show that nothing could deter Republicans from turning out, and that the precautions of the Committee on Thursday in deferring the speaking, how ever wise, was by no means necessary. All who were there last night, however, were glad they were, and had enough en thusiasm left in them after the washing out they got on Thnrsday to scare the Demo crats as Maine or the procession did the Pm/ and its editors. , The meeting was - ca to order by Capt.

'Dr. McCook then said that he regretted that his name had been announced as one I of the speakers of the' meeting, as it was L w 43.1 known that on a former occasion his duties had been so arduous as to injure his health; but Le could not say that be en tfrelrlitigretted- tOni - bilt bead- ivaa whi t te with the frosts ef.over.Beatnik winters and his "sands of life nearly run out," and before another four years rolled around he would have passed away,. and before he was called from 'this stage of action he wished to leave a record behind him that his children would not be aithaniedof. -He called upon all present to witness that he would die, advocating the cause of consti tutional liberty. He wished them to bear testimony that he was opposed to repudia tion of every, kirid. He had been, engaged in politics fbr many years, and he had never in all his life, seen victory so plainly portrayed in any contest as in the present one. After a short review of the Democ racy in his usual style, Dr. McCook closed his remarks and introduced to the meeting GEN. 708. R. HAWLEY, OF CONNECTICUT. Gem Hawley said -It hardly seemed necessary .o him that there should be any more speaking. in P.tt-burgh, from the ma jorities Allegheny 'county had given in times gone by, when the country was in danger, and from the demonstration he had seen on Thursday, the people were evident ly well posted on all the issues of the day and the importance of these issues. But ho supposed thatthe majority could be in creased here as well as a oywhere else. He sa d the Republicans throughout the land were looking to Pennsylvania with intense interest, and if Pennsylvania will give thirty or forty thousand majority in Octo ber, the election of Grant would be certain. He had been aver a considerable portion of the State and he never saw so much earn estness of purpdse in any contest. The peot‘le were full of enthusiasm and full of hope. Ho held', hat practically, the war w. s not ended,.literally it was he knew, for the rebels had` laid down - their -arms, or rather General Grant= got them in a corner and took their arms from them, and if he had not done so. they would still have been fighting us. He then reviewed int length the cause of the war, and the record of the two parties relative to the same, and tha condition of thes.oun try at the time of Lincoln's election. At torney General Black said that we bad no power to coerce ,the South.' Floyd bad stolen the arms and munitions of war from the Government and shipped them South. and Cobb had destroyed the credit of the. Government, while Toucey had scattered the navy to the four winds of the earth. The crowned heads of Europe bad said that our Goverhment could not withstand the shock of a revolution; but the past' bad Proven that it could.. The speaker then re ferred to the patriotism of the people dur- log the war, and the promptness with which they responcird to the calla of the Govern-. m nt for men and moneys The Democracy, he said were complaining and lamenting the mood t of blood and treasure expended to conquer the rebels. This was to bee K pec ted of them. They had objec ed to the war iiiid to any measure of'the government to suppress the tebellion. They objected to the employment of the negro, in the army, and also opposed granting to the soldier the right to vote, He, knew there were many Democrats in the, arm they; but he wi- lied it to be remembered tha had entered it In opposition to the advice of every democrat ic paper and platform in the nation, and he could not see how they could now asso ciate with those men, politically who had called them "Lincoln hirelings." ~ In speaking of the manner in which the war had been prosecuted, he read the reso lutions presented in Congress in lB6t, by Winter Davie, of Maryland, a Demo crat, which he said had been followed to the letter, yet his Democratic friends com plain of it. Never had a war been conducted n a more Christian manner by 'a 'y nation in the world. • Christianity followed the sword from the Potomac to the Gulf.;, As the ar my rprogressed churches we• e I paned, schools were opened' and that most chart? 'table and Christian" l3 a to of all institution'', the Freedmen'su,waa organized, and the hungry were fed, no matter.what their color or condithin. In the little district which be commanded fifteen thousand bad been cared for, and among that' number were the wives mothers and daughters . f rebels, who received the bounty of thegov- ernment, while just across the line were the sons, husbands and brothers,with their rifles in their hands ready to take the life of Union men, yet the Democrats were op posed to the Freedmen's Bureau. In such a christian spirit had the war beenprosecnted that notwithstanding thir teen thousand of the nation's loyal sons were starved to death, and lay in their graves at Andersonville, not a single one of their murderers had been hung. The gov ernment had not been uncharitable in any respect, but on the other hand had shown too much leniency, yet the Democrats grumble. Slavery was emancitiated, but not until it became a matter of neceassity. For two long years the war-had been pros ecuted without success, and during all that time the cry was descending from above as to the Egyptians ofancient days, "let my People go," and not until they were liber ated were our armies successful. They ask us what we gained by the war, and pro nounce it a lailure in the faee of the fact that the shackles have beeni : l u noken from il four millions of slaves, an ac 'evement of which any nation in the world should be proud. The Constitutional amendments were then taken up and discussed in an able and forcible manner. The XlVth amendment; he said, contained six points, the second of which, the correction of the basis of repre sentation, was the great cause of the pres ent trouble. The Democracy opposed it both North and South, not on account of its illegality or unjustness, but because it would wrest from them the probability of getting control of the Government. -It-la well known that under the old method the e ght million of whitesln the South had a representation in the National Congress equal to that of twelve million of white m-n in the North, and t:•at in South Caro lina the vote of 'one white man was equal to that of two men in Pennsylvania, and it was to correct this that the amendment was darned. The Democracy opposed/ it bo cause under the old order of things the South, instead of loosing by the war, gained even more than they had asked for. Han the amendment not been adopted the S , uth would have sent a delegation to Con gre.s of ninety members, most of them offi cers and members of the late Confederate government, and it would only require nineteen Democratic votes from the North to give them a majority, and who could not fortell the result. They would then have •the control of the entire Government, when they only origi nally asked for the control of eleven States, and it. woulth be run in the interests of slavery and secession. The millions of money expended and the hundreds of thousands of lives sacrificed would have all been in vain. Still the Democracy ob ject to the amendment. In speaking of the'state of affairs in the South he said that they had civil war there at the present time, just as much as powder is tire—it only wants the spark to set it ablaze, and the only way to prevent it was to elect Grant. The policy of these South ern Democrats is portrayed in the letter of Blair, which secured him the nomination. The speaker here read extracts from the Blair-Broadhead letter, and said that no matter what side issues might be forced into the / canvass the reconstruction ques tion was the main issue. - • Eioldiug up a jgreenback he said it was 8611101:Ling .that the..Detnocratie,partv-had- got in the habit of calling money, and they wanted us to legislate accordingly and make it money. The Republicans had adopted it as money when it was necessary, but it was only tempor-ry. It did not . pretenci to be money, it was simply a promise to par ' money. The Republicans had taken it as a shipwrecked man would to a raft. It had brought them to the harbor and tha Democrats now wanted to stick to the raft, but the Reublicans saS. no. Having arrived Iliffely in the harbor they prefer a ship or a house: He -then gave Mr. Pendleton's theery of pa 3 ing the 5-20 bonds in' greenbacks- for the purpose of paying the national debt. — He denied the right to pay . them in greenbacks, but_ admitting the right, said that the Govern ment would be foolish to adopt the plan. We were told, he said, that gold was worth 51,43, which was a mistake and one by which many - people were misled. Gold was cheaper than it ever was; California and Australia had sent more of It into the market during the past year than in any previous year. It was not confined to this . Government but circulated in every nation !of the globe. It would be more correct to say that greenbacks were only wortn seven ty cents on the dollar. And if they were so depreciated now what would they be worth, in three years if Mr. Pendieton'S theory -was adopted? According to Mr. Pe,ndleton's' doctrine it only required a paper mill and a printing press to make all the money a nation wanted. How_would it ' be in the end? Greenbacks would be de preciated until they were not worth five cents on the dollar, and they would be repudiated, winch was the intent and tnecning of the plan-. no matter how they • attempted to conceal it. He held that we should gradually return to specie payment, and that would make the greenback. as good as gold. The speaker then referred to the question of taxation and denied the right to tax the bonds. He said that no State could tax them and it would be a broach of the public lath for the national G •vern ment to do so. The credit of a nation was based upon its honor, and not upon ability to pay. No nation in the World was more able to pay than the United' States, yet our bonds bettitng six per cent.; interest in gold, were only wet.- h seventy-: nine cents on the dollar' in England, while • English tkonsals , at three per cont. were - worth.ninety-six cents. This he said was because they lacked faith in our hen. ' estv, and it was all on the account of the hosyliiiks of the Democracy. He then re vietved the course of the Democracy during the war, mid held that a had been a dishon orable one from the beginning. The speaker then briefly reviewed the records of the candidates for the Presiden cy, referring to Grant as the greatest sol dier of the times, and con , resting his con duct ou the Fourth of July, 18d3, with that of Seymour, who upon that dity addressed a meeting of Democrats in Tammany Hall; New York. lie concluded by proposing nine cheers for Grant and COlfax, which was responded to by the entire audience. Prof. Pope being loudly called for, sang "The Two Copperheads." The Chairman then Introduced to the meeting Gen. Lewis Barker, of Maine, who declined making an extended address as he had an arpointment to till in Allegheny this evening. He however, found time to "go through" the Pcmt, a copy of which he had p eked up on the cars, and in which it - was Mated that the Republican majority in Maine was only 18,000,( '-The meeting then adjourned with three che I's for Maine.
