We take pleasure in publishing the fol

demonstration in New York on Monday
last:
WASHINOTOK. Oct. 8, 1866.
GCNTLEMEK : I shall be unable to ac
cept your invitation to attend the proposed
meeting on the sth instant at Tammany
Hall to respond to the nominations of the
National and State Conventions.
My best wishes, however, will be with
you, and with all who are associated with
you, in vindicating the Constitution and
maintaining the integrity of the Union.—
1 have never believed that a State has the
right to withdraw from the Union, nor do
I believe the Federal Government has
any authority to exclude or expel a State
from the Union. I am therefore no se
cessionist — lam no. Radical, nor have I
any sympathies with the principles and
actions of eithei.
\\ hen the Republican party was or
ganized in 1856, to assert and maintain
popular sovereignty, or the right of the
people to form their own Btate constitu
tion, decide for themselves, in regard to
tbeir local government, without dictation
or interference from the central Govern
ment, or from border ruffians, I did not
hesitate to act with the organization.
Effort* had been made to impose a Con
stitution npon the people of Kansas with
out their consent and against their will.—
They resisted the efforts to invade their
rights, and they have tny sympathy and
support in that resistance
Hut the Radical element of the Repub
lican party, which for the last three years
had control of that organization, unmind
ful of the professions of regard for popular
rights and Stale rights, and of its avowed
opposition to Federal aggression, hss been
engaged in greater outrages upon popular
rights and State rights, and in a more ar
bitrary and despotic exercise of Federal
power, than was ever attempted by "bor
der ruffians," or those who have abused
the authority of the General Government
at any former period.
A party so lalse to its professions, and
to the principles which led to its organiza
tion, is not deserving of public confidence.
I shall rejoice in its defeat, and in the tri
umph of those who are striving for a res
toration of the Union and a restoration of
the States to their legitimate constitutions
and constitutional rights.
Yery respectfully, GIDEON WELLES.

PRKVIOCS to the nomination of Genera!
Grant, the New York Tribune thus spoke
of him as a man and a general:
General Grant we esteem by no means a
great man, nor even a verv great general.
We want a statesman; we want Mr, Chi if
Justice Chase. The Republican pat y
contains no purer, no worthier, no moie
lifted man. In what respect does Gen.
Grant surpass Mr Chase "Is he a better
Republican ?" we ask Gen, Grant. No re
ply. If we want, then, to talk about horses
and tobacco, we may find him the most
valuable of men. Xo one word upon the
question that bucks the heart of the country!
' Take me, if you will, as Ulysses S.
Grant, General, and when I am President,
i shall do as 1 please " Perhaps we must
take him, but we do not fee! like cheering
over it; certainly not so long as great
statesmen remain in our ranks. "Give us
Grant becauso we can elect him." Again
that cowardly argument. Is there nothing
in this great party but office hunger I Is
the chief end of man the postoffice and
revenue series ? Are you willing to fol
low a doubtful leader into an uncertain
battle for unknown principles ?
ue Jewish Sentinel, published at
St. Louis, says that when a delegation ot
Jews called upon Mr. Lincoln to urge the
rescinding ot Grant s order No. 11, the
President said that he had already demand
ed that the order be revoked, and that be
had received a reply from Grant saying it
should be done, and that reply he read as
follows: ':Mr Piesident—As you have di
rected me, I will rescind the order ; but I
wish you to distinctly understand that
these people are the descendants of those
who crucified the Saviour, and frcrn the
specimens I have here, the race has not

A Talk With The Working-man.
You are paid for your day of hard and
unremitting toil—for the wear and tear of
your bones and sinews —in h-gal tenders.
That money is thought good enough for
yon, and why should it not be good
enough for the b mdhoiderx, who toils not,
who is arrayed in fine lin-n, and lives up
ou the fat of I lie land ? Il it is good
enough for him, ought you to vote for the
paiiy which tells that he must have better
luonev than you receive —that he must
have the solid gold ? You are oppressed
with exorbitant taxation in every viretv
of form The rent of the dwelling* in
which yon live is tar too high. Y'on are
taxed two or three prices for everything
you buy in the shape of clothing and' pro
visions. \V hy is this ? A portion of your
money does not go to your landlords, or
your gtocer or your butcher, or your tai

enormous debt—of how many comforts!
yourself and your family will have to he I
deprived, in that long interval of time, on j
its account unless we pav the debt or a
portion of it, off in legal tenders, and thus'
save this exhorhitant interest ? Will you
vote for Grant, and thus vote to establish I
this dreadful incubus upon yourself and ]
vour posterity ? Remember that this
$4,000,000 in four years, is in addition to

government, and that they will be at

Do you think that we can stand that bur

500,000 which is now in bonds that are

shape affords no man employment—ought
tn be permanently locked up ? Or do you

Correspondence.
LACETVILLE, Oct. 30th 1868.
MR. EDITOR,
This large and prosper
ous town was in a high state of excitement
yesterday evening. The Democrats must
be alert.
The Republican forces were rallied in
large numbers to organize a Grant ami
C< 1-x C lub and elect the officers thereof.
In their dire necessity, ant! looking for
watd to November, when Seymour and
Rlair will cro-s that Rubicon impossible to
the '•General" and his vice, they are ma
king stienous efforts to stem the current of
popular opinion, and they would have
been succ. ssful, had the meeting presented
fewer adolescent features. The numtier
being a bak'-r's dozen minus five, and had
t'-ey only been able to obtain the presence
of i scallawag or nigger from the unco.i
strucud States to shed the light of his
countenance as president of the organiza
tion. Ours being a neighborly plac -, at
their next meeting, some Democrats will
aitend bv way of helping them to make a
•light show of respectability.
A* an indwt of popular feeling the
sales of Flags have been in the ratio 16
Sevmour and Rlair to one of Grant and
Colfax, and several adherents of Radical
ism disgusted with their party and convin
ced of its impotency have joiued our ranks
and are now acknowledged as types of the
Caucasian race.
The surface of society here m placid as

whose domestic troubles were public gos

: The Wyoming Metallic Paint Company.
The Wyoming Metallic Paint Company
was incorporated in New York, before the
close of the Legislative session of 1868. -
The fact of the existence of an immense
bcil of pure metallic oxides, which after
extended experiments proved to be vastly
superior for the put poses of pamtt to any
other knowo deposits, and the additional
tact that mechanical >kill had devised new
and simple methods wlieieby this vast sup.
ply of crude material could be rapuilv con
verted into a finer variety • f mineral paint
than had hitherto been offered in the
maikel—having been brought to the
knowledge of several parties in the City
of N. York They were easily induced to
exam inr the subject in ts various beatings
witli a view to investments if satisfied that
capital employed for the purpose of de
veloping the resources which seemed to
be at their disposal, would meet with a
fair return Corupetant judges were sent
to Nicholson to examine the mineral, they
reported the deposit practically inex
haustible and the material superior to any
in the market, Tue committee selected to
inquire into the cost of manufacturing the
crude oxide into paint, as well as concern
ing the amount ot similar paints annually
consumed, and the probable profit which
would result from the enterprise, express
ed themselves astonished at the prospect
which was presented bv the existing facts.
It was tound that so gle bonnes in N'-w
York, sold annually hundreds of tons ot
an inferior mineral paint at prices enor
mously above the cost of production. It
was discovered by recent improvements
in machinery and processes, a product
vastly superior to any in the market, could
he secured at a much less cost. It was
found moreover that no deposit of sub
stance at all suited to the purposes of a
paint, had as yet been discovered contain
ing the same valuable prop-rties peculiar
to this. Resides being chiefly composed
ot iron, which alone eminently adopts it
to roofing or fire proof paint, as well n>
lor all purposes whep severe use and ex
posure must be met with, it is found to
possess an oily quality which renders far
1 >s pil necessary to prepare it for use.—
This was deemed an important consider
ation. The result was the incorporation
of the company with abundance of capital
to prosecuie the work. 1 lie objects .for
which the company secured its chatter,
were the lusnufscture and sale ot metallic
paint, this it is empowered to do by law
tor a perio lof fifty years. That the vast
di-po tot mineral in its possession wdl be
exhausted during this period is by no
means probable. Enough has been done
to demonstrate the utter impossibility of
exhausting it, however extensive the work*
and however great the demand. Y'et the
demand is gigantic. The uses to which
this paint is adapted are numerous and
daily extending It resists the elements
and storms uninjured before the exposure
of years, extremes of best and cold affect
it not, the storms heal upon it harmlessly,
fire is repelled by it as bv a plaiting of
steel, it is a complete armor of defence
against every destroying agent, for all
wooden structures.
Aside from the great superiority of the .
material as prepared in the laboratory of;
nature, the system ot preparation adopted
by the company insures a paint of unvary- <
ing excellence and of small cost. What is
known as the "Dodge Process" is exclu- j
nvelv employed by this company, it may
be briefly described as follows;
First, the mineral which as it comes
from the mine is damp and could not
therefore be ground and bolted success- ,
fully, is dried by being passed through a
simple revolving furnace, it is then reduc
ed to coarse fragment* by a powerful
crushing machine and subsequently run
through the grinders from which it passes
to the bolts, from whence it issues in the
form of n absolutely impalpable powder
ready for use. By the system adopted, all
costly hand labor is avoided and steam is
made to do the work. In other paint mills
no crushers are employed, but the mineral
is broken by hand process and is subse
quently ground between burr stones which
tpeedly become dull and worn, and must
be constantly sharpened or re-picked, thi*
entails upon the owners great labor atid
oost, wbile the product is vastly inferior.
The crushers and grinders used by the
WYOMING COMPANY are faced and shod
in such a manner that the wearing parts
can be almost instantly replaced when im
paired by use, and wi'li a trifling cost.—
The great points then which the officers
of the WYOMING METALLIC PAINT COM
PANY seek to present to purchasers of this
variety of paint are ;
First, that experiments and annalvsis
abundantly prove that no deposit of min
eral, suitable when manufactured, to all
the purposes of a paint, of equal value
with the deposit in the possession of this
company, has yet been discovered, and :
Second, that by the processes which
they employ, labor is so saved aud st.-am
power is so employed and utilised as to
practically place their product beyond
competition in price.
These are facts which will appeal to
! anv consumer, and are abundantly sus
tained by evid noe. In view of the
facts and the testimony supporting them,
it is uot too much to say, that the com
pany feels justified in asserting that it in
tends to supply the entire demand for this
variety of paint and to drive from the
market the crude inferior and costly min
eral paints, which have heretofore been
sold in such immerse quantities and at
such exorbitant rates, and this will be
clone as it should be, by furnishing a vast
ily superior article at one half the price,
i and by convincing the public of the ability
'ol the company to do this for a certainty,
lif need be.

What Governor Curtin Thought of Gov
ernor Seymour in 1863.
As the Radicals have been laboring so
industriously to provide tht Governor
Sevmour is not a loyal man, and that du
ring the war he airayed himself in oppo
sition to the cauxe of the Union, we pre
sent the following incident for their xpe
cial consideration at (his t'.me.
When Lee wax thundering al ihe do T
of the capital ot Pennsylvania, an ? far
and trepidation poxS'-xsed the souls ot the
men who are now reviling and slandering
Governor Seymour, Andrew G. Curtin,
then Governor of Pennsylvania, vixited
Camp Curtin, llarrixbnrg. This visit was
occasioned by the disinclination of the
Pennsylvania volunteers to enlist, ex
cept for the expulsion of Leu from
Pennsylvania. Governor Curtin, in com
pany with another gentleman, role into
camp in an open barouche to see the of
ficers, and was stopped on his way by the
soldiers and called on for a speech Raising
in his carriage, hejspoke substantially as
follows:
FKI.LOW-CITIZKNS OF THE VOLUNTEERS
OF PENNSYLVANIA: I came here to-day to
see your officers, who ought to he here to
make their complaint in form. I have a
right to expect the confidence of the volun
tecrs of Pennsylvania, for I have n-ver
broken faith with them. I assure you,
you will he rstained just long enough to
repel the present invasion—so long—no
longer, be it sixty days, or thirty, or ten.
Rut we cannot draw your pay unless you
conform to the regulations ot the army,
and enter your name in regular form.
Then turning in his carriage and point
ing to the white tents of the New Y oik
troops on the bill across the river, he ex
claimed-
Look at the crowning of yonder hill !
There are the troops of our sister New
Y'ork, defending our frontier, where sou
ought now to he, instead of wrangling here
about how you will enlist. Great God !
What arc you doing ? Thirteen regiment*
from. Ntio York already on the ground,
and in front, while not a regiment in Penn
sylvania is yet ready !
Soon after Governor Curtin appeared
on the hill .on the opposite side of the riv
er, rode inside the fort, iuto the midst
of the New Y'ork troops, who poured
out from their tents, and loudly called
on the Governor for a speech. •
Again rising in his carriage, with his hat
in bis hand, he spoke as follows:
SOLDIERS OF NF.\V YORK: Pennsylva
nia hud a right to expect that lier sis'ei j
New York would come (o her aid, but she 1
did not bave the right to expect that New-
York troops would be here on onr soil. <>e |
cupying the front of her defense, before
her own troops were on the ground. Fioin :
the bottom of my heart. I thank you for ;
litis generous alacrity. Bear my thank*, i
an well as the thanks of Pennsylvania, to :
your patriotic Governor for the promptness
with which, throuyh your presence, he has
replied to our need. On SOT.U future oc- j
ca>*ion v I will in some more appropriate i
and formal manner, make known to him ;
my grateful appreciation of liis prompt ac- '
tion in hurrying forward to our aid this ;
noble band of soldierly men ! Again I
thank you !
And with a graceful bow and wave of his
hat, the Governor resumed his seat in the
.
carriage.
