TiiElIarrisburg Telegraph reminds
Senator Wallace that while he prom
ised the vote of Pennsylvania suc
cessively to McClcllan, Seymour,
Greeley and Tilden, and now prom
ises it to Hancock, that he never
did win in Pennsylnania except to
secure his election to thc Senate,
and that it took coffee colored nat
uralzation papers to do that. '
At no time in thc later history of
the Republican party has it contained
fewer elements of discord than now.
The contest for the nomination
w hich culminated at Chicago in a
struggle which w ill remain historic,
left but little bitterness. It was a
fight for grand men, and by men
who have written the grandest pages
of American history in their acts
and their devotion. No candidates
for the honored place of President
ever before held such claims upon
the people, and so richly deserved
the honors they sought, and no men
ever had more stalwart, persistent,
anil eloquent advocates then rallied
around the banners of each during
the protracted struggle. It is diffi
cult to see how the convention could
have acted more wisely w hen pow
erless to nominate cither of its lead
ers than by selecting a standard
bearer who in all respects, repre
sents, as a soldier and statesman, the
principles that had endeared the
names of Grant, Sherman, and
Blaine to every loyal American.
It certainly should be a reason for
congratulation that each of the can
didates and their menus nni i i
General Garfield a representative of
what they most honored. Some
w ill continue to think their candi
date would have been more availa
ble, and would have aroused a larg
er enthusiasm, yet it is but fair to
say no name could have been plac
ed at the head tf the ticket which
would have done more to unite all
factions and shades of opinion than
those of Generals Garfield and Ar
thur. Such being the case, the Re
publican party must arouse to its
w ork, llie battle-fields were never
more distinctly mapped out, and
the disastrous results of failure upon
the prosperity and ltcst interests of
the whole people were never 1 tetter
understood. It is to Im no boy's
work. Thc States of the South, bvi
fraud, and the rule of thc old slave
power, are as solid as w hen they
stood in co tu kins and shot down
the brave defenders of thc flag.
They exitect in the coming' con
test to gain by the ballot .what they
failed to obtain by the sw ord. Id

years U fore the war it was in most
intimnte alliance with slavery, and
hnt itself to the lierix'tuation and
extension
f that most nefarious !
j iniquity. The Democratic party at
jthe S.utli got up the rcMlion, and
the North, as a iolitical organisa
tion, sympathized with it. Thc
Deni'xratie party at thc North, in
lSi',1, declared the war "a failure"
and proved to negotiate with arm
ed rein-Is. The Democratic party,
both North and South, resisted the
constitutional amendments, and all
legislation to carry them into
effect, and declared thc latter to be
unconstitutionally passed. The
same party, Inith North and South,
proposed, in 18(W, to pay the pul
lic debt in greenbacks, w hich are a
part of that debt. This same party,
in 1872, adopted for its candidate a
life-long hater in the person of
Horace Greeley, accepting a platform
made for it, and, for the time being,
forswearing all its professed princi
ples. This party at the South has
trampled the Constitution under
foot in substantially suppressing the
Negro vote. The "Solid South" of to
day, as thc consequence of this pro
cess, is to-day the main reliance of
the Democratic party of the nation.
As to the great questions of the
hour, relating to currency and
finance, the Democratic part', after
having in 1870 denounced the Re
sumption Act, is anything you
please in order to win votes. Hun
gry for office and often repudiated
by the people, it has fur years know n
no other principle than that of get
ting into office. The worst elements
of society have uniformly gravitated
toward the Democratic party.
A K)litical party stamped with
such a record ought to be defeated,
and no excellence in its candidate,
negative or jtositive, can change its
character. Republicans have di"
feated this party in the last five
presidential elections, and the' pro
pose this fall to add another defeat
to the list. They were never more
thoroughly united and never in bet
ter trim for the contest. It is gen
erally conceded that thc decisive
point of the struggle is in this state,
and here they must and can w in.
We have " no expectation that thc
Southern States will give a solitary
electoral vote for General Garfield J
Thc "Solid South" will be solid
for General Hancock. What the
Republicans have to do is to prevent
the addition of the fortv-cven elec

South" to elect its candidate, and
this with hard work can and will be
done. The redistribution of politi -
cal power after this election, under
, . . , ...
the census now being taken, will put
an end to the significance of thc
''Solid South," and leave Dcmocra-
cy as a national party in a hopeless

more victory, the sixth in thc series, j t,lte) implies treachery and dishon
will settle the question that Repuh- or and could only originate with one

It is no time for Republicans to

CARD FROM HON". JOHN' I'ESSXW.
To the Rlitors of the Omnuerdnl-Gn-zette.
:
Bedford, Pa., June2t. I observe
in your paper of yesterday an article
copied from the Cincinnati Uo-.ettc
relative to the selection of Senator
Cameron as Chairman of thc Nation
al Republican Committee. After
giving reports from Washington and
Philadelphia, the article closed as
follows:
"The matter goes further than
this. John Cessna, chairman of the
shite committee, is the man who
stuck to Grant at Chicago to the
end, although his district had al
most unanimously instructed for
Blaine, and his own ward voted for
Blaine in the primaries unanimous
ly, the only votes cast for Grant be
ing those of himself and his son.
If Cameron refuses the place, John
Cessna will do as little as he can,
and thc result will be almost cer
tain defeat. It may as well lie ad
mitted now as wait for Hancock's
election. Pennsylvania must be
carried to elect Garfield, and it can
not lte carried w ithout Cameron."
So far as the author of this verv
reliable information seeks to reach
me personally, I have very little to
say. To so much of his charge as
might affect my official position or
be used to misrepresent the jtosition
and prospects of the Republican
party in Pennsylvania, I beg leave
to demur. There is not one word
of truth in the entire paragraph ex
cept that I voted for General Grant.
I was not "the man" who "stuck,"
but simply one of over 300. There
was no candidate before the con
vention whom I could not havesup
jtorteil with entire satisfaction and
great cordiality. Indeed I was care
ful never to utter a word about any
candidate before the nomination,
which I should wish or need to take
back in case such candidate should
prove successful. Kver since the
nomination has been made I have
urged the imiortance and necessity
of ignoring all the controversies and
differences of opinion existing aim tng
Republicans prior thereto. If any

discussion or determination, all that
can be done

; may be that it is all important that
Cameron should accept the

all
allegation that if Senator Cameron
refuses to accept the position, 1 w ill
do as little as possible to carry the
engaged every day m doing w hat
little I can to aid the cause this Cin
cinnati correspondent considers in
so much danger. I am utterly una
ble to see any of the danger which
disturbs or rather gratifies him. On
thc contrary our nominations at
Chicago have united all the elements
of the party and I have vet to meet
Ai'nong the ' Democrats there are
some who were convinced by their
leaders that the late w ar to suppress
the rebellion was an "Unholy War."
A. war of abolitionists waged against
the best friends of the Democrats- to
deprive them of their constitutional
rights, and now they are hard to con
vince that it was the very ltcst thing
they could do to nominate a candi
date whose greatest laurels were
won by gallantry in fighting in that
war on what thev considered the
wrong side. I have no more doubt

A Broken Levee.
Chicaoo, July 2. A special dis
patch from Quincy, Illinois, to the
Tunc, says that the most intense
excitement prevails in that iiortion
of the country inundated by the
breakinsr of the Snv levee. This em

country seventy miles long, ana
from five to twelve miles wide.
Yesterday fully one-third of this
area was under water. The crevasse
at the Cincinnati landing is half a
mile wide, and other large break s
have occurred.
Frecmer and his family who were
i reported drowned were saved, but

have lntn lost. Horses, cattle and
other stock have In-cn druwin-d.

Lowell Mass., July 1 Among j
the speakers at the Republican rati-i
i! . .'. y.
fication meeting to-ni;ht was ex-Gov
ernor Boutwell, who said that the
morning after the nomination of
Garfield he met and talked with
(leneral (Jrant, who was on his way
from Galena to the soldiers' reunion
in Michigan, and, with that imper
turbable coolness so characteristic of
him, the hero of Appomattox said :
"I feel greatly relieved bv the ac-
tion of the Chicago convention. I feel ! faced and apologetic for it hides it
a great responsibility removed from ! self behind thc record of a soldier
my shoulders. I feel more indebt
ed to my friends who so gallantly
stxKxl by me than if they had suc
ceeded in their endeavors."
The First Fight of thc Campaign.
Washington", July 2. The first
personal encounter between the ad
herents of Gen. Garfield and (Jen.

OIK WASHINGTON" LETTER.

A short absence from

' The first place I dropped off the
lightning express was in New lork,
a small town " on thc Hudson, the
home of Sam Tilden and John Kel
lev, but there I felt so uncomfortably
warm and hot that I took the first
train for the Green Mountains in
Vermont, paving my respects to
this village on the return trip, wind
ing up at Coney Island.
This great summer retreat will
be spoken ot m another letter.
This was my first trip to
dom and I must say 1 would lkl'
to see more of it. . .
The j)eople on
the trains with
whom I conversed passmz througn
the Mates of l.oiin'ticut, aiaw!H - iiu -
setts, Vermont and New Hampshire,
were exceedingly jolly and comniu-

l olilics ol course was au me iaiK.
Nearly every jktsoii I met saluted
my insignia with a smile that sjMke
louder than word. Shaking of
Garfield I tell vou in New England
j every where 1 went James .. was
i their man. His history from the
tow-path to the halls of Congress
was in every man's mouth. (Jar
field and Arthur Hags were flying in
every country town and cross-road,
banners across every street in the
larger cities; and I was told that
never was there such excitement in
In-half of a presidential candidate.
He was a man alter their own heart.
You may rest assured the blue-bellied
Yankees w ill score every vote for
the ticket and do their share in once
more defeating the rebel combina
tion made up of the criminal classes
of New York and Philadelphia; bull
dozers of Mississippi; Rifle clubs of
South Cariolina and thc White Leag
uers of Louisiana. No decent man
would belong to such a crowd, much
less vote their ticket.
I was sitting in front of the hotel"
in Windsor, Vermont, when the news
of the nomination of Hancock and
English at Cincinnati by the Copper
head convention w:is received. I
expected there would be a great yell
when tho great soldier's name was
mentioned. There was not even a
cheer or a hurrah. The crowd sit
ting around were nearly all democrat
ic loafers that generally congregate
about waiting for some stranger to
treat and old Uncle Sammy's barrel
was in their eye. The Tildenites
looked blue. Damn Hancock says
one we've had enough shoulder
strans and brass buttons. Another
chiines in, whv not Hancock and
Fish ? The defeat of Tilden is a great
blow to the democracy of New
England, and John Kellev gets the
I democratic party is masquerading
with a Union Oencral as a leader, a
rank copperhead andmemlter of the
Knights of the (olden Circle as tile
closer, and a history and record
behind all, that is enough to shiit
wreck anv cause. I pity Hancock,
for it is the last of him.
The people of this country are not
isuch big tools yet as to allow this

incut, for they know the rebels would
run Hancock" like they did Jim. Bu
chanan. We are not ready yet to
extend pensions to all the soldiers
of thc rebellion or their representa
tives, and rescind the pensions now
being paid to those who fought for
the Union. We are not ready to re
store all property confiscated from
those w ho were engaged in the re
bellion to their former owners- slave
proterty to be included in this legal
restitution, or a paid equivalent for
the value thereof to be paid to the
former owners of such property.
We are not ready yet to say that the
w ar debt of the rel tel states must ltev
paid, and the national debt amior-
tiohcd amongst the so-called loyal
states to be paid by them. We are
not ready vet to agree that Decora
tion dav for Union soldiers' graves
shall no longer be a national holiday,
but thc holiday shall be transferred
to that set apart for the decoration
. rv - nnr,:l.nt, ,1.,.,,1
of the graves of the Confederate dead.
No sir, we are not readv to surren
der what we fought for, (tut on the
contrary will show the world that a
united Republican party will con
qaer the "solid South" at the polls
as we did in thc field.
The Democratic party comes up
again for the judgment of the na
tion uiMtn its acts. It comes shame-
w ho helped to save the" Union, whose
disintegration it fostered and against
which the hand of the democratic
party in every state where it has a
certainty of success to-dav was rais
ed to kill.
If General Hancock w ere thrice as
worthy as he is as a man and can
didate, the load which he has taken
upon himself is greater than he can
bear. He has assumed the record
of the democratic party with all its
enormities and atrocities, and what
ever he may be, jK-rsonally, has but
little to do w ith the issue. In ac
cepting a nomination at the hands
of the party of disloyalty, treason
and rebellion, he assumes the re
sponsibilities and consequences that
cluster upon the history they have
made. General Hancock's loyalty
and patriotism are dwiounced by
his present contact and attitude.
The lustre of his military record
is dimmed by his present surround
ings, in accepting honors and re
sponsibilities at thc hands of a partv
which sought the national life, which
characterized him as a "Lincoln
hireling" and "butcher" during the
rebellion, he now sinks himself to
the plane of their disloyalty, and
virtually becomes one of tliera. He
has not thc jwwer to elevate them
to his standard, for their acts of trea
son, their bloody attempts to break
up the Union and destroy the nation
al life are in recorded liistory, and
can never be condoned or wiped out
In consorting even at this late day
with the party which nursed treason
and set thc rebellion on foot ; which,
in its last presidential campaign
before the rebellion was crushed and
thc nation was saved, incorporated
in its political creed and platform
tfie abominable sentiment that the
war to crush rebellion was a misera-
hie failure ;
which has since the
war filled the southern states with
the graves of men w hoseonlv offense
