Wednesday, Aug. 5, 1868. FOR PRESIDENT, HOI HORATIO SEYMOUR. OF NEW YOKK. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, GEN. FRANCIS P. BLAIR. OF MISSOURI. . • DEMOCRATIC STATE TlcS Auditor General, CHARLES E. BOYLE, of Fayette. Surveyor General, Gen. WELLINGTON ENT, of Columbia ■ 1 ——mm— rmemm ——l The election in Kentucky, held on Monday last, has resulted in the elec tion of the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor by from CO to 70,000 majority.— Ballots—not bayonets rule in Kentucky. Light is Dawning! Our exchanges from every direction are filled with of encouragement and hope. The opinion everywhere prevails, that radicalism is making its last dying struggle —and a pretty feeble kick at that. The people have had enough of the jaco'oinica!, Puritanical rule. Enough of reckless experiments—of trampling con stitutions under foot—of arbitrary arrests —of test oaths—of gag legislation—of army contractors—of extravagant expen dituies—of a depreciated currency—cf oppressive taxes—of ruinous tariffs and of freedmen's bureaus. They arc now pre paring for a change, by adopting a change of principles and rulers. The Democratic platform and candidates are cordially en doised at every point of the compas3.— Unity and harmony prevail in all parts of the old organization. It presents a solid front to the enemy, and wiil be in vincible to their attacks. Triumph is certain. With Seymour and Blair and a Democratic Congress, the people will once more realize the blessings of a free gov ernment uuder an established constitution. £W The Provost Marshal's Bureau and its agents were thus described by a Radical, Senator Conkling of New York : "Central and Western New York have a right to feel, and do feel deeply on this subject. My constituents and other con stituencies, remember wrongs done them too great for forgetfulaess, and almost for belief, by the creatures of this bureau and its head. * * * * They turned the business of recruiting and drafting into one carnival of corrupt disorder, in'to a para dise of coxcombs and thieves.' Governor Seymour chastised these cox combs and th;eve3. He brought order out of chaos. lie demanded and secured justice for the sons of New York in the recruiting and drafting business. lie pre vented the monstrous injustice which was planed at Washington, and he received the thanks not only of a Republican legis lature, but of every citizen of the State of New York for his hindrauce to that wrong as he also received the thanks of the Pres ident, the Secretary of War, and the peo ple of Pennsylvania, for checking on the threshold of that State a formidable rebel invasion. The Contrast. General Wade Ilamptoo, the hero and statesman, who fought nobly and honestly, and yielded like a man when ho was over come, is a representative of the Democracy of the South. Kx-Governor Brown of Geor gia, a miserable poltroon, who talked war, and blood and eaanage, but took good care to keep out of it, icho Jounded Anderson' ville prison and staived Northern soldiers, and then sold his State, like a thief and Ju das that he is, represents the Republican (?) party in the South. Brown was in tbe Chi cago convention from Georgia, sent there by niggers and carpet baggers. Gen. Hampton was in the New York convention from South Carolina, sent there by white men and na lires of his State. Le# any man, whatever bis predjudices may be, compare the two to gether, and see which he admires the most. Surely there can be but one conclusion.— The same difference extends throughout the parties at the North as well as at the South. —Bellefonle Watchman. Forney's Press swallows its lie as to the "nigger delegates" in the late Dem ocratic Convention, in the following strang ling and unwilling manner. He calls the nigger servants, who attended some of the delegates "colored politicians." Here is what he says : "In response to an inquiry as to wheth er there was a "negro delegate " in atten dance at. the New York Convention, we are enabled to say upon the best author ity that several colored politicians went to that city in company with delegates, one of whom is still there. None ot them appeared as delegates, but one was said to have been a delegate elect from Teanea ' aee." What has Radicalism Done for Us. Fonr years ago, General Fremont ( cer tainly a good witness in a Radical canse ) declared, in his letter accepting the Cleve land nomination, that the Radical policy and power under Abraham Lincoln "had needlessly put the country on the road to bankruptcy " We were then spending— On our Civil Service $17,510,000 On the Indians 2,540,000 On Pension 4,980,000 Interest on the Public Debt 53,080,000 Being a total of §88,710,000 This was in the last year of Abraham Lincoln's administration, when the power of the rebellion everywhere was giving way under the stress of a long continued and exhausting war. We have since then enjoyed nearly four years of what, but for the Radical major ity at Washington, would have been a complete national peace, and find ourselves spending— On our Civil Service §51,110,000 On the Indians 4,040,000 On Pensions 30,340,000 Interest on the Public Debt 133,780,000 Being a total of $'229,880,000 If Abraham Lincoln had "needlessly put the country on the road to bankruptcy" in 1864, with an expenditure of more than $80,000,000 per annum, exclusive of the enormous sums lavished on the army and navy, it must be admitted that the Radi cals are driving the country along the same road with a triple Lincoln power, when they inflicted upon us, three years after the last rebel had laid down his arms, a yearly outlay nearly three times a3 great. But the people are putting on the breaks, and with the election of Seymour and Blair in November next, we shall see the country put upou the safe old track once more.— World. Grant's Portrait tv a Republican. J. C. Iv. Forrest, fornetly connected with the Chicago Tribune and the Chica go Journal , both Jacobin newspapers, has the following brief and pointed sketch. It will do to read along with the unfinished life of "Ulyss" by his father: The questions with Grant and his imme diate followers now are. What had the General better do ? Had he better accept or decline the nomination at Chicago ? It is said that Stewart desired him to decline. The latter caine on here a few days since, and was tha guest of Grant. Deny it as parties may. I have it from good authority that Stewart thinks Grant a poor stick, and is heartily sick of him. Grant is known to be very self-absorbed, selfish aDd grasp ing man. He takes everything that is presented to him, no matter by whom, or what the supposed consideration. Rich men of the national bank and bondholders stripe, have presented him with houses, bond* and stock. Sporting men have pre sented him with horses. Gamblers have presented him with billiard tables. D >g fancicr have presented with pups. Thea tre managers constantly present him with dead-head tickets. Harness makers have presented him with saddles and harness. Carriage makers have presented him with carriages. Russell, Jones an l Washburnc knew his weak point when they presented him with $,">,000 of stock in the Chicago horse railway company. Even poor card writers present hiin with all the visiting cards he uses—for which they get in return letters of thanks in very indfferent Eng lisb.ln fine, "All is fish that comes to Grant's net." But how can Grant be anything but an inferior man ? He never reads a book. He knows nothing of statesmanship. He is a dunce in belle lellres. He is a novice in international law. He cannot converse on any great principle of governmental policy. He is net read in ancient or mod ern history. He cannot give an opinion profound or superficial, on theology, phi losophy, physiology or on laws that govern the material universe. He can cat, smoke, drink hard, and look owlish. In this last sentence, you have the character and hab its of the man. Before Grant's treachery and downright falsehood to Johnson, the people considered him a frank, honest sol dier, whose woid was as good asjiis Dond, They found themselves wofully deceived. Ever since that treachery and deceit to the man whose friend be had pretended to be, and from whom he virtually acknow ledged a prominent position only that he might better betray him into the hands of his enemies, Grant has been rapidly sinking in public estimation. At the pres ent time his reputation with the leading men, and the unpredjtidiced masses of both parties is very low indeed. GENERAL GRANT'S BROTHER. —One member of the Grant family was not trot ted out at the Radical Convention. This was Orville Grant esq , brother of the Gen eral, and a prominent and respected mer chant at Chicago. Although so near at hand as to render his presence easily ob tainable, he was neglected and not allow ed to render his tribute to his great broth er's many merits. The state of the case, as we understand it, is that Orville Grant refuses to vote for his brother, consider ing him unfit, by his character and habits, to occupy the Presidential chair ; that he lately presented to a Chicago church, of which he is a member, the sum of S3OOO, and to the Chicago Democratic Club the sum of *I,OOO. A clergyman who sug gested to him that it would have been better to reverse these gifts, was informed by Mr. Grant, ir. reply, that upon a care ful consideration of the state of the coun try, and the character of two candidates, he rather thought he ought to have doub led the present to the Democratic club ! It is also said that Mr- Gage, the proprie tor of the Sherman House, at Chicago, who would have voted the Republican ticket, had another candidate been nomi nated, is now for Seymour, and willing that the Democratic clubs at Chicago should make his celebiated hotel their headquarters. Another indication of the way the tide is setting in that city, was the presence of five or six hundred llepub licans at the Seymour ratification meet ing at Chicago who cheered as iuslly as any of the Democrats.— Ex. The Charges Against The Democratic party have neither time nor inclination to halt and answer all the petty accusations which Radical ingenuity may invent, in order to divert attention from the momentous issues of the contest, involving the very existence of the Repub lic. The Radicals will not be permitted to resort to the Arab stratagem of rising a great cloud of dust in the fae.es of their pur suers, and escaping in the midst of it. Ihey have bad unconstrained control of the gov ernment for the last eight years, and they will be permitted, under no subterfuge, to escape just responsibility for their acts. The Democratic party of Pennsylvania will heed the advice of the able and vigilant Chairman of the State Committee, ai d drive the enemy into the last ditch, and keep them there. They will charge home upon them. That they have deprived the Federal Executive of his constitutional powers, and have put unwarranted and despotic power in the hand of the General of the army, their candidate for President. They have assailed the independence of the Judiciary, passing acts to seal the lips ot the Judges, and increasing or di minishing their number solely for partisan ends, and to obtain party decisions. They have denied the high authority of the Sumpreme Court, and have endeavor ed to create in the public mind a distrust of the honesty of its decisions. They have attempted to unlawfully de pose the President of the United States, and to place the Supreme Executive pow er in the hands of the most dangerous and violent member of their fraction, he him self contributing his vote to the conspiracy. They have endeavored by every species ot threat and intimidation to procure con viction, and have never ceased to create the impression among the people that hon orable Senator, who voted for acquittal, were bribed. They have accumulated in the Senate of the United Stales, carpet bag judges, elec ted by the bayonet, in order to renew the attempt te remove the President. They have deprived tae President of the pardoning power, and usurped it them selves, punishing rebels whom the Presi dent had pardoned, and whose surrender aud parole of honor had "been accepted. They have spread abroad in ofiieial re ports the most infamous calumnies of the President, for the purpose of destroying the confidence of the people in his admin istration. They are now engaged in changing the Union of the States oidaincd by the Con stitution, into a consolidated military des potism. They have passed a bill through both Houses making it a criminal offense, pun ishable with fine and imprisonment, for the citizens of three States, to held an elec tion for President, under the preteuce that they are net in the Union. They have passed a bill through both bouses, putting the arms ol the nation in the hands of the negro militia of the South, to trample out the liberties of their own race, and enkindle the dailies of civil war. They exclude States from the Union for the sole reason that neither by the e reed men's Bureau, nor the army, can their elec toral vote be conti oiled. iuey have passed an act to deprive the people of the three States of the Union of the right of voting for President, They have shut the doors of Congress on the Representatives of States aud Dis tricts on the most frivulous pretexts, and have admitted iu their steaJ, persons who were uever elected. Tliey have established a Frcedmen's Bu reau, and retained it in operation, in spite of the remonstrances of the people, in or der to govern the negroes, and maintain their power in the Southern States. They have created swarms of civil offices to prey on the resource of the people. They have encourage J hordes of carpet Lag adventurers, needy and unscrupulous, to iuvade the South, and by the aid of the niilitaiy and Freedinen's Bureau, usurp all the places in the government. They have excluded brave and patriotic soldieis, in great numbers, from post of honor and emolument, solely because t hey were not members of the Radical party. They have admitted notorious rebels to high officials trusts, because they became instruments in their hands to do the work of tyranny. They have enacted odious and unworthy test oaths, and have unjustly relieved from disabilities such rebels only as adopted their opinions, and entered their service. Tliey have destroyed government, and es tablished despotism of the sword, under the false pretence that the South was in a state of anarchy. Thep have deprived qualified electors, in great numbers, of the right of suffrage, and have conferred it on an ignorant and debased race, incapable of its intelligent ex ercise. They have, in their extravagances and wastefulness, squandered untold miliio ns ot the public money. They treat the will of the majority of the people, expressed in all the recent elections, with contempt, and have hurried on to more violent and revolutionary measures, to entrench themselves in power. They have organized secret associations of discharged soldiers, to control the elec tions, and endanger the public liberties. They have made false and unjust char ges of disloyalty against the Southern peo ple, as an excuse for their acts of tyranny. They have made a base and simulated loyalty, a cover for all their assaults on the liberties of the people. They have, by their insolence and tyr anny, created in the minds of the Southern peopi° the fear that justice and magnanim ity no longer exist in the North. Their agents have fomented, by every means in their power, dissensions and jeal ousies between the two races. They have organized and kept under pay a corps of spies, and informers, dog ging th e steps, and traducing the charac ter of the citizen. They have violated the right* of the per ple, seizing the private ietters and private telegrams of the citizens. They have passed high tariffs, taxing the people for the benefit of monopolists. They have, at the same time, exempted these same monopolists from internal duties, thus increasing the burthens of the people. They maintain a large standing at my occupying ten States of the Union, notwitii itanding their repeated promises to with draw it on the completion of their plans of seconstruction. They have urged the most important measures through Congress, under the gag of the previous question, denying the priv ilege of deliberation or debate. These are a part only of the long roll of accusations which the people have to make against the Radicals. When the Demo cratic party shall have rescued the country from their bauds, it will be time enough to stop, and listen to the puerile accusa tions which are all summed up in rebel, copperhead, and kindred phrases, which have long lost all point and pertinence, if they ever had any. — Ilarrisburg Patriot. The Black Mailers Answered. A. D. Spanlding Postmaster at Troy, Bradford Co., to whom was sent a demand for $32, as his share of the Grant and Col fax corruption fund, now being raised by Chandler, Morgan, Schenk &co, radical managers at Washington; like Capt Burr of this County, concluded not to be made a party in this infamous proceeding. In Mr Spanlding's reply to this attempt to black mail him for base partisan purposes, which is published in the Bradford Argus he says: Gentlemen, I cannot in justice to myself and Country, respond to your request by sending $32 ! The Republican party has cost me alone since it came in to power nearly one half of all my life's earnings, besides all my time. It has taxed every thing I eat, drink and wear ! It has ta ken the flower of our yoetb nnd left their bones bleecbing beneath the burning suns of the South ! and to-day the land is filled with widows and orphans, who go about our streets begging ahns, reminding me, most forcibly that "the purposes of the Re publiean party are being carried out." Von say, Gentlemen, "that the "funds contributed will be judiciously "expended.' I cannot believe this with the history as' written by that party for which you now ask alms. I ask you citizen of the tlnilen States to tell nie what have you done with the millions of dollars that have been taken from the industry of the land by yonr ille gal and unconstitutional acts ! I ad: yon, Gentlemen, if the hundreds of thousands you have wasted <o the Freed man's Bureau, lias been judiciously expended? I ask yor. if the thousands you have squandered in trying to remove an honest and inde pendent executive, hav been judiciously ex pended ? And Gentlemen of the Union Republican Congressional Committee, I ask you if the millions that have been stolon from the peooic by the paid officers and spies of the Republican party, have been judiciously expended ?—These are ques tions which I desire to be fully answerd before T can send you one center one dollar to aid in the election of those two Gentle men who stand at the head of your ticket.— However much I may respect them as men and as citizens, I cannot and will not give aid and comfort to the enimies of man kind, by triving ?!;cm that by which they may be able to corrupt the purity of the ballot box, which is the safety of our nation. Permit me in closing to request yon to cease plundering the people, and tu leave honest m. n alone—to study The Con stitution of our Go vein men t —obey our law! To vote for honest men—temperate men— not for those who squ mder their substance in drunkenness and riotous living. In a word vote for Hon. Horatio Seymour for President of the United States, and Francis P. Blair, jr., for Vice Preident, and all will be well. I am yours, with respect, A. D. SPALDING. Letter of Gen. Frank P. Blair Accepting the Nomination for Vice President. WASHINGTON, July 21, 1868. Gotieral G. W. Morgan, Chairman of the Committee of National Democratic Con vention : GENERAL : I take the earliest opportu nity of replying to your letter notifying me of my nomination for Vice President of the United States by tbe National Democratic Convention recently held in the city of New York. I accept without hesitation the nomina tion tendered in a manner so gratifying, and give yon and the committee my thanks for the very kind and complimentary lan guage in which you have conveyed to me the decision of the Convention. I have carefully read the resolutions adopted by the Convention, and most cordially concur in every principle and sentiment they announce. My opinion upon all the questions which discriminate the great contending parties have been fully expressed on all suitable occasions, and Ido not deem it necessary at this time to reiterate them. The issues upon which the contest turns are clear and cannot be obscured or dis torted by the sophistries of our adversa ries, They all resolve themselves into the old and ever recurring struggle of a few men to absorb the political power of the nation. This effort, under every con ceivable name and disguise, has always characterized the opponents of the Demo cratic party, but at no time has the at-, tempt assumed a shape so open and dar ing as in this contest. The adversaries of free and constitutional government, in defiance of the express language of the Constitution, have erected a military des potism in ten of the States of the Union ; have taken from the President the power vested in him by the supreme law, and have deprived the Supreme Court of tsr jurisdiction ; the right of trial by jury and the great writ of right, habeas corpus— shields of safety for every citizen, and which have descended to us from the earliest traditions of our ancestors, and which oua revolutionary fathers sought to secure to their posterity forever in the fundamental charter of our liberties, have been ruthlessly trampled under foot by the fragment of a Congress ; whole States and communities of people of our race have been attainted, convicted, con demned and deprived of their rights as citizens without presentment or trial or witnesses, but by Congressional enact ments or ex post facto laws and in defiance of the constitutional prohibition denying even to a full aid loyal Congress the au thority to pass any bill of attainder or ex post facto law. The same usurping author ity has substituted as electors in place of the men of our race, thug illegally attaint ed and disfranchised, a host of ignorant negroes who are supported in idleness with the public money, and combined to gether to strip the white race of their birth-right though the management of the freedmen's bureaus and emissaries of con spirators in other States, and, to complete the oppression, the military power of the nation has been placed at their disposal in order to make tbis barbarism supreme. The military leader under whose prestige this usurping Congress has taken refuge since the condemnation of their schemes by the free people of the North in the elections of the last year, and whom they have selected as their candidate to shield themselves from the result of their own wickedness and crime, has announced bis acceptance of the nomination, and his willingness to maintain their usurpaions over eight millions of white people of the South, fixed to the earth with his bayo nets. He exclaims —"Let us have peace;" "Peace reigns in Warsaw," was the an nouncement which heralded the doom of a nation. " The empire is peace, " exclaim ed Bonaparte when freedom and its de fenders expired under the sharp edge of his sword. The peace to which Grant in vites us is the peace of despotism and death. Those who seek to restore the Constitution by executing the will of the people, condemning the Reconstruction acts already pronounced in the elections of last vear ( and which will, I am convinced, be still more emphatically expressed by the election of the Democratic candidate as President of the United States,) are denounced as revolutionists by the parti sans of this vindictive Congress. Negro suffrage ( which the popular vote of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Connecticut and other States has condemned expressly against the let ter of the constitution) must stand, be cause their Senators and Representatives have willed it. If the people shall again condemn these atrocious measures by the election of a Democratic candidate for President, they mnst not be disturbed. — Although decided to he unconstitutional by the Supreme, court and although the Presi dent has sworn to maintain and support the constitution, the will of a fraction of a Congress, reinforced with its partisan emis saries sent to the South and supported there by the soldiery, must stand agaiust the will of the people and the decision of the Supreme Court and the solemn oath of the President to maintain and support the constitution. Is it revolutionary to execute the will of the people ! is it -revo lutionary to execute the judgement of the Supieme Court! is it revolutionary in the President to keep inviolate his oath to sustain the constitution ! This false con struction of the vita! principle of our gov ernment is the last resort of those who would have their arbitrary reconstruction sway and supersede our time-honored in stitutions. The nation will say the con stitution mast be restored and the will the people e.Umn prevail. The appeal to the peaceful ballot to attain this is not war, is not revolution. They make war and revolution who attempt to arrest this quiet mode of putting aside military des potism and the usurpations of a fragment of a Congress, asserting absolute power over that benign system of regulated lib erty left us by our fathers. This must be allowed to take its course. This is the only road to peace. It will come with the election of the Democratic candidate, and not with the election of that mailed war rior whose bayonets are now at the throats of eight millions of people in the South to compel them to support him as a candi date. for the Presidency, and to submit to the domination of an alien race of semi barbarous men. No perversion of truth or audacity of misrepresentation can ex ceed that which hails this candidate in arms as an angel of peace. Yours Respectfully FRANK P.
