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.—

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. BLAIR.
