Sherman's let er, Noyes' dispatch, and the at' itude of the masses of the people, not only Republican, but honest Democrats, lave awakened the conspirators to a fwall sense of their diingtr, and the leader are asking "what is that riarkenln' the hole?" Tbe valiant Potter comes out bravely and says, "No daDger, I have got bold of tbe tail." If he should happen to let go to spit on Lis hand-1, there will be "the d 1 to pay." Hold on, Potter. l iter () ; tin. General Riri.EK, wLo Ss a mem ber of the Pot ler investigating com n.ittee, Las requested to be placed on the sub committee tbat jroes to New Orleans to investigate the Louisiana election, but the members from that State urge Potter not to let him go, as public sentiment there ia still so bi'ter, they fear Lis assassination. This fact showB the perfect concili ation that the President's policy has elected in the South. The new Democratic Senator from Ohio Hon. Gehiu.e H. Pendleton takes issue with tie Democracy of this State in regard to the Potter in vestigation, lie argues that it mears nothing, if it does not mean an as sault on the President's title, and says the proceeding is a dangerous one and should not be encouraged Tee Republican Ccumy Com mittee of Bedford County met on Wednesday of last week, and in ac cordance with the general desire of the Republicans of that county, de clared General Jacob M. Campbell to be their choice for Congress, and authorized him to select his own con ferees. Somerset and Cambria bar ing previously instructed for General Campbell, be may be considered tbe ',e68 kv of Congress probably not nominee of the party in the district. J then in session was first bad and Blair County has not jet spoken, obtained, fcbould there be an oat but will doubtless ratify tbe action of break of tbe Communists in any of i - the other three counties of the dis-jr 'rge cities, or tbe raising of a Po-TM aster Gexerae Kev struck h.s Democratic brethren of the North a fearful blow under tbe belt, hen iu hie late letter he twitted tbem with iheir former treachery and cowardice as follows : Ri-inembciinz (be encouragement which tbe Northern lK-mm-rnts, in ana iscl extended to the Southern Ntttes to secede, and the manner in which their promises nt aid and couilurt were luliilUd, can the Siuthcrn people alT.ird to join this revolu tionary movement with the certainty that when the inevitable hour of peril eo:ues they will a;rain be left unassistea anj alone to meet the storm lrnm the North, once more united by this attempt to revive an issue whose settlement was forced by public opinion upon an unwilling Congress? No wonder that tbe cowardly scum of the party, the old copper head element, is in land pursuit of him, frantic with rage, howling forth curses and bitter invective. Appar ently the utter contempt in which they are held by the Southern men whom they deceived, and who now tolerate them only for tbe use to which they can be put, is a revela tion to them. Seemingly ihey thought that the trcacberv with which they lured thousands of brave men 1 3 their graves, was forgotten, of it3 memory buried with the bones cr their in numerable victims. How bitter therefore chagrin, their how profound their rage to be remind ed by one of their living victims, of their base treachery and violated fait h. When the South took up armp, it expected aid from Northern Demo crats; did it ever come? It was promised thousands of Democratic recruits; did tbey shoulder their mus-kets to make good the pledge! Their sympa'.hies were undoubtedly with the South, but sympathy amounts to nothing ia a charge of bayonets, and the cowardly Northern traitors skulked into Canada, or con tented thcm:selves with trying to cripple the government lrom their places of security in the rear of the Union armies. Can tbe South ever trust iLese Democratic leaders again ? Never Peep in tbeir hearts they far more honor the brave men who met them in the smoke and crash of battle, than the treacherous hkulkers who promised them matcial aid, and gave them only their sympathy. Tbe open, fearless letter of General Key, and his recalling to the memory of Southern men the treachery of their former and present allies, will undoubtedly have weight with those who are disposed to lend themselves to this new rebellion, while its sticg icg and contemptuous reference to the former treachery of Northern Democratic leaders, has set them frantic with rage, which as usual tbey vent through the weak and foolish organs of their party. Ox Tuesday of last week the Dem ocratic House at Washington passed a bill reducing tbe army from 25,000 to 2it,000 men, and prohibiting under penalty of fine and imprisonment the employment of any part of it as a jWiO fountain or otherwise, for tbe purpose of executing tbe laws, ex cept in such cases, as where the em ployment of troops maybe crpretslu authorized by art Connrrgs. This bill was passed by tbe solid vote of 119 Democrats, and is a second step, deliberately taken, in the tea revo lution being inaugurated br the Democratic leaders. I: is an open, shameless effort to wrest from the President his constitutional right to command and control tbe army of the United States, and to vest it in a Congress, expected to be Democratic. It is a deliberate design to leave tbe Chief Executive without the power to execute the laws, to enforce bis au thority or to put aown rebellion or insurrection Should this bill become a law, results tbat would follow are mistakable. The army would prohibited from all tbe uses which it was created. Should ting Dull leave his Canada lair. rush down upon our unprotected frontier, tbe troops could not be used to stop bis murderous devastations, under penalty of fine or imprison ment for each officer and man, on- the for Sit- and be moved, not a musket be used un der penalty of fine and imprisonment. In the Souib, where illicit distillation is carried on in every nook and corner, where the collections of taxes is re tstcd br force of arrar revenue officers are shot down like dogs, and the authority of the government openly defied, not a saldier could be used to sustain the President in en forcing the laws. Ia view of the fact tbat this at tempt to chain up the army, and de prive the President of all control of it follows fast upon the assault on bis official title, made by tbe Potter res olution, which unmistakably points to his eventual deposition from office, there can be no doubt in tbe mind of any observing or reflecting man, that the Democratic leaders not only de sign, but are preparing for revolu tion. To this conclusion, tbe letter of Post Master General Key him.i self a Southern Democrat points unerringly and openly. There is no mistaking tbe significance of its con eluding paragraph "No man need bopej tbat tbe schemes of the men who have engineered tbe move nient to unseat 1 resident Hayes can be carried oa without a bloody civil war." Equally decided ia his views of this movement, and outspoken in his opinions, is A. II. Stephens, formerly Vice President of the Southern Con federacy, and a present Democratic member of Congress. Says be, in letter to tbe Xcw Yutk Times: I lixik upon the whole of this proceed iurr. concocted as it was, conducted as has tx-en. as most unwise, most unfortun h1p and most mischievous. Its effect w i be to disturb the pew, harmony and ouiet of the coiintrv. Neither Mr. Potter nor anvboJv else can prevent it, and I say to him most respectfully, that nothing shoitofan imniedi.ite, ceneral and nrm concert ot action of the law and order abidinz people of all parlies, Kepnblicans ml Democrats, throughout the l nton in reprobation of this investigation pro- ceeding any further with a view to disturb the Presidential title, sncli as announced bv the I'enasvlvania Democracy ia their Convention a few days aco, can arrest the most fearful consequences. Those who have, though innoeeutly, sowed the wind will reap the whirlwind. My own opinion is. as I have repeatedly said, this atlair will prove in the end either a contempt iblc farce or a horrible tragedy. 'Whether it will lead to the Mcxicanizalion ot our Federal Republic, the result must show ; but I say. as I said on another recent oc casion, that all solt words instilling in the mind ol the people oi this country the idea that Mr. lliyes can le peacefully tin seated bv Congress, are as ueiusivc and as cuiletul as the w hisperings of the creat arch-fiend in the ehae ot a toad in Ihe car of Eve from which sprung all our woes. It being as clearly evident tbat revolution is batching now, as it was in 1 850-00 that rebellion was a fact, and it beinsr the duty of tbe Presi dent to crash cut revolutions and rebellions with a rigorous band, it is undoubtedly tbe object of tbe Dcm ccratic conspirators to leave him powerless to use the army of the Government for its protection. Pre paratory for the rebellion of 1801 the Army and Navy were so widely ecat tered.as to prevent theirconcentration, and therefore render them practical ly useless. Now the game is to re duce the army to a mere skeleton, and forbid its use by statute law. Tbe Senate is to-day, all tbat stands between tbe country and this second Democratic rebellion for which the way is being so clearly prepared, and we trust and believe it will stand by the Republican party, in frustrat ing the present traiterous schemes of the Democratic leaders in Congress. Tlm for the Peaple to Wake I p. Knm the Troy Time. The people have not as yet become fully conscious of the danger which threatens tbem, but it seems to us tbat tbey ought not to be long in doubt as to the meaning of such measures as the Potter investigation and the intended crippling of the army. I a Washington tbe peril is well understood, but there must be some perception of it instilled into the popular mind before next Novem ber, or the country may find itself plunged into a struggle the horrors of which werer not equaled by that which was attempted ia 18CL Pot ter may plead the cause into which he has been inveigled by tbe arcb conspirator of Gramercy-park as long and as eloquently as be pleases; but tbe futh still will be that tbe men behind bim mean serious business, even if be does not.

It is worthy of note that there is a sudden and mysterious silence in the air respecting President II ayes' al leged satisfaction with the "success" of tbe southern policy. Has tbe Potter resolution opened his eyes as to the astonishingly small result the policy of "Conciliation" has accom plished ? As the Democratic plot, which has tbe almost undivided sup port of the party in the south, devel ops more clearly, mark you, we shall bear less, if possible, than now about the fruits of the southern policy.

Postmaster General Key bas vrt ten the following open letter to the people of the South, ia lieu of person al answer to the many letters received from friends in that f ection in relatit n to the revolutionary action of tbe Democratic leaders in Congress: Washington, May 23. Tbe cir cumstances attending the passage of the Potter resolution to investigate the alleged frauds in the Presidential election of 18f. in the States of Lou ieiana and Florida, together witb the subsequent declarations of many in fluential Democratic politicians and I journalists, evidence tbat if both houses of the torty-sixtn Congress are Democratic, the majority intend to oust President Hayes and inaugu rate Mr. Tilaen. Tbe title of President Hayes was settled irrevocably by tbe Forty fourth Congress, in tbe act creating tbe Electoral Commission, under which he was legally declared elect ed and legally inaugurated. Tbe Forty-fifth Congress bas no more right to dispute his election than be bas to question tbe title of any vic torious contestant to bis seat in that body. Tbe Forty-sixth Congress will have no more right to ignore him and to recognize his defeated contestant, Mr. Tildcn, than Mr. Hayes would have to send a file of soldiers to the House of Representa tives to unseat a Democrat whom be might consider to havo been wrong fully seated or fraudulently elected. The leaders of this desperate at tempt to Mexicanize our institutions rely confidently upon tho "Solid South" to furnish the bulk of the Democratic majority in the next House of Representatives, tbe Senate being already secured. Remember ing the encouragement which tbe Northern Democrats in 18C0 and ISiil extended to the Southern States to sccedo, and tbe manner in which tbeir promises of aid and comfort were fulfille'd, can the Southern peo ple afford to join this revolutionary movement witb tbe certainty tbat when the inevitable hour of peril conies they will again be left unas-i-isted and alone to meet the storm from the North once more united by this attempt to revive on issue whose oettlement was forced by public opta ion upon an unwilling Congress. In the dark days of r ebruary, 1S77 when civil war over the disputed election was imminent, and patriots trembled for tho safety of our I.epub lican institutions, the Southern mem bers of Congress averted the dauger by compelling the completion of the electoral count under tbe law which parties in Congress had enacted. Dut now the Representatives from the Southern States, with a very few exceptions, have joined a movement to subvert the results of their former patriotic action, and to remand tbe countrv to that anarchy from which Ie?3 than two years ago u was eared bv their efforts. Grant that in permitting the auton omy of all the States, and in appoint ing citizens to office ia the South in stead of strangers. President Hayes has but discharged his constitutional duty, does that excuse the Southern Representatives for attempting to in validate his title, which they estab lished, or will it justify them in bring ing the country again in danger of civil war in the effort to unseat bim and inaugurate Mr. Tilden ? Ibe South must now faca the most momentous crisis in its history since ISf.l. To indorse the recent conduct of their Representatives is to admit tbe truth of tbe charge tbat the people of the South care nothing for tbe wel fare of tbe Union, desire tho downfall of the Republic, and would rejoice to see it again involved in civil war. If their Representatives have uot reflected their sentiments, as I be lieve t be the case, tbea the people of the Southern States should take care tbat in tbe Forty-6ixth Congress tbey are represented by men who will defeat the disturbers of the pub lic peace and prevent the Mexicaniza- tion of our institutions. To do this tbey may be compelled to act independent of tbe Democratic party. Recent event? have demon strated tbe inability of Democratic members of Congress to resist the mandates of the caucus and the ter rors of tbe partv lash, the one wield ed and the other inrpircd by men wbo seem willing to endanger tbe welfare of the country and tbe stabil- ty of Jlepublican institutions for the sake of revenge on political opponents and in tbe hope of dividing the spoils of victory. If the Democratic Rep resentatives of the South could not resist tbe caucus command to pass the Potter resolution, unamended and without debate, how will they be able, n tbe torty-sixth Congress, to resist similar command to itrnore Mr. Haves as President and to recoirnize Mr. Tilden T It is, therefore, the duty of the Southern people to afford a crowning evidence of their renewed devotion to the Union, in which they now en joy every right of citizenship, and are subjected to no restrictions not laid upon every citizen, by sending Rep resentatives to tbe Forty-sixth Con gress, pledged to resist, at all hazards, the revolutionary schemes of tho mis chief makers who seem to have gain ed control over tbe House of Repre sentatives of the Forty-fifth Congress. To this end tbe people in every dis trict should meet, publicly organize and resolve to support no person for Congress who has given aid to this movement, and wbo will not pie dire himself to sustain tbe title of Presi dent Hayes during tbe term for which he was elected against all at tempts at its overthrow. j Only in this way can a grave dan ger to the Republic be averted and convincing proof be given tbat the confidence was not misplaced which President Hayes manifested in the South when he withdrew tvo troops from tbe State bouses of Srutb Caro lina and Louisiana. I have spoken plainly and earnest ly, for I feel that 1 should be unwor thy to represent tbe South in the ad ministration were I to remain silent now. Invited to the Cabinet as a Southern man, to see that justice was done to tbe South, required neither to apologias for my record nor to disown my political principlue, it is my duty now to warn tbe peo ple of the South of tbe danger which threatens tbe country. No man need hope that tho schemes cf the men who have engineered tbe movement to unseat President Hayes can be carried without a bloody civil war. To avert this danger I confidently rely upon tt patriotism and honor of the people cf my native section. D. M. Kiv. Speech by Presi dent Hayes.

The honored dead who fought and perished here will therefore be forever held in special and grateful remembrance. The great martyr of the conflict was Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln gave bis life, and tbe brave men who re sponded to his call gave their lives for the Union, for liberty and for a stable constitutional Government. Tbey believed that our institutions were equal to any emergency, and tbat thav ought to be maintained at the cost of property or of life. If our assembling in this place shall fitly honor the men we now wish remem bered with gratitude it will be be cause, beholding these scenes ana contemplating the example of the he roes wbo made Gettysburg illustrious, we shall bo able to estimate more wisely the value of enr country and of ber institutions, and be better pre pared for the duties'1 which, under Providence, have devolved upon ns.
