Opknino Campaign by the Woolen
DemocRact. Tlie opening of the cam
paign of tVe Qrccly or wooly-hend Demo
cracy, took place at a meeting In the Court
House In this place, on Monday evening
Inst. The speakers wero Hon. Charles It.
Buekalew, candidate for Governor, Hon.
llendrtck B. Wright, candidate at largn,
for Congress, and John Campbell, of Phila
delphia, candidate for the Lunatic Asy
lum, if he makes many more such mental
efforts which characterised what, no doubt,
he intended as a speech.
The house was well filled, though not
crowded, perhaps, two-thirds being Repub
licans not one of whom will vote the mon
grel ticket. When wo say that the efforts
of the speakers fell far short of the expec
tations of the heaters, wo assert a simple
truth that no candid person present can
deny. Mr. Uuckalew's speech was very
short, and fell cold and lifeless upon the
ears of his hearers. His themo was a mere
recital of what ho did as Statu Senator in
passing three or four proposed amendments
to the. Constitution, to be voted on this fall
in regard to the Slate Treasurer and the
public debt. Ho referred also to General
Ilartranft, nud attempted to connect him
with the Evans fraud and King, hut ad
duced no proof whatever. He neglected,
however, to mention that while Gen. Ilar
tranft was gallantly figthing the rebels, ho
himself was at the Clifton House in Cana
da, closeted with Thompson, ('lay and
llolcottibe, giving those rebel iiaeudiaries
advise end consolation.
Mr. Wright's effort was a labored one
in attempting to excuse, if not justify, the
Democracy in selling out their seven prin
ciples to the soreheads of the Republican
party. lie took especial pains to impress
upon the meeting the fact that he had
never sympathised with the rebels in their
efforts to destroy the Uniou, whatever his
parly might have done. He confessed that
swallowing Greeley whom ho had despised
for thirty years, was an awful effort,
but consoled himself that after all he only
swallowed the Greeley platform of princi
ples. Xow when we take into considera
tion the fact, that Mr. Sumner himself de
clares that the Grant and Greeloy platform
arc substantially the same, the confession
must be rather humiliating. What the
object was in introducing John Campbell
from Philadelphia, is a mystery we cannot
fathom. Johu, who is a raw nud an un
educated Irishman, though he deals iu
second-hand law books, has not even tlie
mother wit common to his race, to com
pensate for the barrenness of his ideas, and
his incoherent utterances, accompanied by
grimaces and gestures that would have
been ludicrous had they been less ridicu
lous. It was John's misfoitune that he
had not the capacity to comprehend the
Grant platform, which was metaphysical
and incomprehensible, while the Greeley
platform was perfectly plain. Yet Mr.
Sumner and the authors of the Greeley
platform contend that both platforms arc
Republican, and omitting the one term
principle, in all respects alike. Such are
the incongruities and the inconsistencies of
men who become reckless and abandon all
principle, and whose only guiding star is
that of self-iuterest. It is only a few days
since that he swallowed Greeley, not his
piiuciples,in order to beat Grant, while Mr.
Wright aud others, assert they have swal
lowed, uot Greeley, but his platform of
principles. Alas I has the once powerful
Democratic party come to this ? With no
platform, no fixed principles in name or
substance, floating in the open sea without
sail or rudder, and without a pilot to save
them from beins (shipwrecked and engulph
ed to rise no more, except an old abolition
ist whom they have hated nnd denounced
for the last thirty years, to whom they now
cry to save them lest they sink forever.
Bi'ckalew in Canada. What was
Cuekalew doing in Canada during tho re
bellion iu consultation with Ilolcomhe,
Clay. Thompson and others ? This is a
question which many Democrats would
have like to have had explained at the
meeting in the Court House, on Monday
evening last, but wero deprived of that
pleasure. Xot a word was said about the
vi.iit to Canada or what he was doing there.
It is well known however, that Thompson.
Clay and llolcombo were at tho Clifton
House, Niagara Palls, wilh a million dol
lars in ;oid to pay incendiaries t burn the
citii'S of the North, and destroy the steam
boats owned largely by Mr. Uuckalew's
constituency iu western Pentisylvauia-and
ond inciting the "Sons of Liberty" to rise
in insurrection against the draft. Mr.
Thompson reports to the Secretary of State
of the Confederacy that "t during attniijd
hud turn iimdc to burn A'no 3'orA-," aud
that "a great destruction of steamers at
St. Louis was caused" through tho act of
a man to whom he paid money for this
dastardly uct. Mr. Holcoiubu reports also,
to Benjamin, that he mkt Ciiaiiles R.
Bene a lew in Canada, and that in the
c I Volts made by himself, and conspirators.
to "put themselves iu communication with
the leading spirits'' of disloyalty, insurrec
tion and incendiarism in the North, they
were successful.
Mr. Thompson, discussing the contem
plated insurrection iu the Xoilh through
the "Sons of Liberty" led by their "mas
ter spirits," says : "I was received among
them wilh cordiality. Its organiza
tion wns essentially military ; it had its
commanders of divisions, of brigades, of
regiments nnd of compauies. The
20iu of July (1803) was lixed as the day
for a movement. It was necessa
ry to have scries of public meetings to pre
pare the public mind ; tho first one was at
Peoria, and to make it a success, I agreed
that so much money as was necessary
would be furnished by me ! Tho vast mul
titudes who attended seemed to be swayed
but by ono idea Peace."
Tho property of Pennsylvauians had
been burned at St. Louis. A rutllan had
Sold in his pocket to burn more boats at
Cincinnati. A daring attempt bad been
made to burn New Yoik. Another wretch
had money to introduce loathsome diseases
into Northern elites. Others had more to
burn thein in the stillness of midnight, giv
ing tbo u0'ed and the helpless to the flames.
Th"i"'r'ft", CA'ty aud Holcomlic were iu

and inciting them to blood. And they

Tub North Carolina Election.
At tho last election for Governor in North
Caroliua, which took place two years ago,
the Democrats carried the State by about
5000 majority. Another election took placo
on Thursday, the 1st inst., and assurances
were given" the public that the mnjority
would be increased to at least 10,000. As
the first despatches sent wero greatly exag
gerated, the Democrats and soro heads
horcabouts felt quite jubilant nt such good
result, but it appears their friends in that
Slate had overdone the matter iu guessing nt
tho final result and as the returns came in
shouted vociferously over their supposed
triumph. As tho official returns como in
they indicate that tho Democratic majority
has not only been overcome, but that about
1500 has been rolled up on tho other sides
for Caldwell, tho Republican candidate.
We give below the latest dispatches :
Ralkioii, Aug. 7. The official nnd posi
tive returns arc pretty well in. The west
ern counties having been heard from, ex
cept Ashe aud Ynncy. Caldwell is elected
by about one thousand majority. The
)omocrats claim that there have been great
frauds, and it is thought the matter will be
contested. Tho Republicans will jubilee
to-morrow night. Excitement subsided,
and the Democrats receive the news of de
feat quietly.

IIIm Opinion on I'olitical Ihmucn.
The following letter has been addressed
to Senator Sumner by Speaker Blaine :
Augusta, Me., July 31, 1872.
Hon. Charles Sumner, United States Senator.
Dear Sir t Your letter, published in the
papers of this morning, will create pro
found pain and regret among your former
political friends throughout New England.
Your power to injure Gen. Grant was ex
hausted in your remarkable speech in the
Senate. Vour power t- injure yourself
was not fully exercised until you announced
an open alliance wilh the Southern seces
sionists iu their efforts to destroy the Re
publican party of the nation.
I have but recently read with much in
terest the circumstautinl nnd minute ac
count given by you in the fourth volume of
your works, of the manner in which you
were struck down in the Senate chamber
in lSOO for defending the rights of the ne
gro. The Democratic party throughout the
South, and according to your own showing
to some extent in the North also, approved
that assault upon you. Mr. Toombs, of
Georgia, openly announced his approval of
it in the Senate, and Jellerson Davis, four
months after its occurrence, wrote a letter
to South Carolina in fulsome eulogy of
Brooksor huvimj o i.aiW tahin your life.
It is sate to say that every man in the
South who rejoiced over the attempt to
murder you was afterwards found in the
rebel conspiracy to murder the nation. It
is still safer to say that every one of them
who survives is to-day your fellow-laborer
in support of Horace Greeley. In 1N5U ho
would indeed have beeu a rash prophet who
predicted your fast alliance, sixteen years
after, wilii Messis. Toombs nnd Davis in
their efforts to iviustite their own party iu
power, in all the startling mutations ot
Iu all the startling mutations of
American pontics notiung so marvelous
has ever occurred iu the fellowship of Ro
If,,.
bert Toombs, Jefferson Davis and Charles
Sumner iu a joint effort to drive tho Re
publican party from power and hand over
tho Government to practical control of
those who so recently sought to destroy it.
It is of no nvnil for you to take refuge
behind the Republican record of Horace
Greeley. Conceding, for the sake of argu
ment, (as I do not iu fact believe), that
Hoinee Greeley would remain firm in his
Republican principles, ho would bo power
less against the Congress that would conic
into ower wilh him in the event of his
election. Wo have had a recent and strik
ing illustration in tho case of Andrew
Johnson of the inability of the President to
enforce a policy, against tlie will of Congress,
what more power would their bo in Horace
Greeley to enforce a Republican policy
againt a Democratic Congress than there
was in Andrew Johnson to enforce a Deni
ocatic policy agaiust a Republican Con
gress 'i And besides, Horace Greeley has
already, in his letter of acceptance, taken
ground practical'- against tho Republican
doctrine so often enforced by yourself, of
the duty of the national government to se
cure the rights of every cilizeu to protection
of life, person and properly. Iu Mr. Gree
ley's teller accepting the Cincinnati nomi
nation, he pleases every KuKlux villian in
tho South by repeating tho lVmocralic
cant about "local self-government," and
inveighing in good rebel parlance against
centralization, aud finally declaring that
"there shall be no Federal subvisiou
of the internal policy of tho several States
and municipalities, but that each shall be
left free to enforce the rights and promote
the well-being of its inhabitants by such
means as thu judgment of its own peoplo
Bhall prescribe."
The meaning of all this iu plain English
is that no matter how the colored citizens
of thu South may be abused, wronged and
oppressed, Congress shall not interfere for
their protection, but leave them to the len
der mercies of the "local self-government"
administered by the white rebels. Do you
as a friend to the colored ruau approve this
position of Mr. Greeley t
You caunot forget Mr. Sumner, how of
ten during tho late session of Crogress you
conferred with me in regard to the posibil
ity of having your civil rights bill passed
by tho House. It was introduced by your
personal friend, Mr. Hooper, aud nothing
prevented ils passage by the Houso except
the rancorous and factious hostility of the
IVinocratiu ruerulx rs. If I have correctly
examined the Qlolie, tho Democatic mem
bers on seventeen different occasions re
sistid the passage of the civil rights bill by
the parliamentary process known as filibus
tering. They would not even allow it to
como to a vote. Two intelligent colored
members from South Carolina, Elliot nnd
Kninoy, begged of tho Democratic side of
the Houso to merely allow the Civil Rights
bill to be voted on, nnd they were answered
with a dcninl so absolute that it amounted
to a scornful jeer of the rights of the colored
mnn. And now you lend your voice nnd
influence to the re-election of these Demo
cratic memlicrs who are co-operating with
you in the support of Mr. Greeley. Do
you not know, Mr. Sumner, ond will you
not as a enndid mnn acknowledge that wilh
theso men in power in CongreBS, the lights
of tho solored men nre absolutely sacrificed
so far as thoso rights depend on Federal
legislation
Still further : tho rights of the colored
men in this country are secured, if secured
at all, by tho three great constitutional
amendments, tho 13lh, 14th, and 15th. To
give theso amendments full scope nnd effect,
legislation by Congress imperatively requir
ed, ns you have so often nnd so eloquently
demonstrated. But the Democratic party
nre on record in the most conspicuous man
nor against any legislation on tho subject.
It was only in tho month of February ' last
that my colleague, Mr. Peters, offered a
resolution in the Houso of Representatives,
affirming tho "validity of the constitutional
amendments nnd of such reasonable legis
lation of Congress it may be necessary to
make them in tltcir letter aud spirit most
effectual." This resolution-very mild and
guarded, as you will sec was adopted by
124 yeas to 58 nays ; only eight of the yeas
were Democrats ; all the nays were Demo
crats. The resolution of Mr. Peters was follow
ed, a week later, by ono offered by Mr.
Stevenson, of Ohio, as follows :
Jtr solved. That we recognize as valid and
binding, all existing laws passed by Con
cress for the enforcement of the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth nud Fifteenth amendments of
the Constitution of tho United States, nnd
for the protection of citizens in their rights
under tlie Constitution, as nmended.
On the vote upon this resolution there
were 107 yeas to 05 nays. All the yens were
Republicans, and lliey are now unanimous
in support oi l'resnient urnut. aii m
nays were Democrats, who arc now equally
unanimous in support of Mr. Greeley.
It is idle to affirm, as some Democrats
did in a resolution offered by Mr. Brooks,
of New York, that "these amendments are
valid parts of the Constitution," ho long ns
thu same men on the same day v Ho that
the provisions of thoso amendments should
not bo enforced by congressional legisla
tion. Tlie amendments are but "sounding
brass and tinkling cymbals" to tho colored
man until Congress makes them effective
and practical. Nay, more ; if the rights
of the colored man are to be left to the legis
lation of the Southern States, without con
gressional intervention, he would, under it
Democratic administration, be deprived of
the right of suffrage in less than two years,
nnd he would lie very lucky if he escaped
somo form oi chattel slavery or peonage.
And in proof of this danger I might quote
volumes of wisdom nnd wnruing from the
speeches of Charles Sumner 1
When, therefore, you point out to the
colored men that their rights will be safe
in the hands of the Democratic party, you
delude nud mislead them I do nut say
willfully, but none the less really. The
small handful of Republicans compared
with the whole mass who unite with your
self and Mr. Greeley ingoing over to the
Democratic party, cannot lea veil that lump
of political unsoundness even if you pre
serve your own oiijinal principles in Iho
contact. The administration of Mr. Gree
ley, therefore, should he be elected, would
be iu the whole und in detail a Democratic
administration, nnd you would be compell
ed to go with tlio current or repent aud
lurn back when too laic to mend the evil
you had done. Your argument that Hor
ace Greeley does not become a IV-mocrat by
receiving IK'tnocratic votes illustrating it
by the analogy of your owu election to the
Scnntc is hardly pertinent. The point
is not what Mr. Greeley will become per
sonally, but what will be the complexion of
tlie great legislative branch of the govern
ment, with all its vast and controlling pow
er. Vou know very well, Mr. Sumner,
that, if Mr. Greeley is elected President.
Congress is handed over to the control of
the party who have persistently denied tlie
rights of the black man. What course you
will pursue toward the colored man is of
small consequence after you have trnnsfered
the power of government to his enemy !
The colored men of this country are not
ns a class enlightened, but they have won
derful instincts, and when they read your
letter they will know that at a great crisis
in their fate you deserted them. Charles
Sumner co-operating with Jefferson Davis
is not the same Charles Sumner they have
hitherto idolized any more than Horace
Greeley, cheered to tho echo in Tammany
hall, is the same Horace Greeley whom tho
Republicans have hitherto trujted. Tho

ly. Tho longer they conliuuo it tho less
likely they arc to succeed in July or No

bo driven to tho polls as negroes are driven
in tho South by the carpel-bnggers nnd
scalawags."
A courLK of tip-river young men, says
the Ijcwisburg CVtronice, whose father, on
his death-bed, bequeathed thousands of
dollars, a number of years ngo. recently
purchased a broken tombstono for a few
dollars, to erect over said deceased parent's
grave, as a token of their deep and hearty
gratitude. Who wouldn't bo willing to dio
if surrounded by a family of such ungrate
ful, half-developed Darwinians ? To which
we add the question : Isn't it cheering to
risk bodily health and the soul's salvation
to mako money for such children ?
"Of all tho prominent men in the coun
try," says shrewd old Jure Black. Horace
Greeley is tho only ono who lacks every
singlo qualification for the Presidency."
The New York Times is confideut that
New York Slate will give a larger majority
for tho Republicans next fall than she has
done for many a year past.
The Oil City iJttlfcti'n, always a strong
Democratic paper, cannot go Greeley, and
comes out fair nnd square for Grant. Of
the two candidates, tho liullctin thinks
Grant thn best fitted for the office, nnd
Ibis is what tens of thousands of honest
Democrats also think
The S'Tn(on Jlrjmblkan, which 1ms
heretofore opposed llartrnnft and Allen,
on the Republican State Ticket, has with
drawn its opposition, nnd now gives tho
whole ticket a cordial support.
Now is Ihc time to destroy weeds. Bur
docks, milkweed, thistles and every rank
growing plant should be cut dotvu and
burned before the seeds ripen.
All the year round, Sheridan's Cavnlry
Condition Powders should be given to
horses that are "kept up." To horses and
cattle that graze in summer they should
only be given in winter and spring.
