"BRICK„ POMEROVS new paper— the New York Democrat—is out bold ly for repudiation. In an editorial in its third number, bn the public debt, it said : We sweep aside the interminable discussions about the terms of the bargain, and ask simply, Does jus tice to the people require that the bargain be recognized? If we find that a corrupt Congress obtained the con sent of an ignorant, thoughtless, and excited people to the erection of that ,Inpendous monument of national )lly, called the national debt—if we %d that the debt was corruptly con :•acted ; that its terms are usurious; :1 we become convince l that a na- debt is the most powerful '_cans of national corruption ; that fa i wes an unequal and unfitir dis -i Won of property ; that it creates Inischievous, idle, non•produciug, , Itaxed, banded aristocracy ; that it `*rows the burden of taxation en -rely upon the laboring class ; that itganpers production and increase-3 -lEtravagance ; that it makes million -=„ies on one side and paupers on the ther, and that it breeds crime as the gull breeds maggots; if we find, ; a word, that a national debt is an :...amitigated national curse, we shall :-waste no time upon the written law discover its letter or its spirit; 'at shall appeal at once to the high law of national welfare, which de ...,:lands that so potent an evil be at Isle abolished. VALEDICTOItY Inasmuch as my health has been seriously impaired by nearly two years service in the field during the late war for the Union, I am ad monished,to abandon the business of publishing a neWspaper if my earthly existence is to be prolonged. I there fore,-now bid adue to types and the, editorial chair. Ten years ago, yes- . terday, the first number of TIIE CrzrrnALPnEss made its appearance in Bellefonte, 'and has been a success up to the issuing of the last number of the tenth volume. I started with old type and awooden Ramage press, and ended my editorial career last week with_ steam. power presseS. . Without a dollar in my . pocket to start with,.. and . without asking strangers or friends to involve them selves in order to aid me, I have, by perseidrance and individual in dustry, rendered the EnEss a success up to the pi esent writing. My:firm adhesion to the principles of ,the great Republican party ;. my: deter mination from the start to allowino clique or man to' dictate the course of my paper, soon gained for me the confidence of the masses Of the peo ple of tbe'UniOn party,. Every . gressive attempt on the part of in dividuals or factions to override the will of - the majority, • .was promptly met with my . opposition lii the performance Of what I 'reeognized to be my duty as . publisher ';of. party organ, I may. have gained .The dis pleasme of those. who never owned a halfcent in my eStAlishment, and who. never exerted their influence in its behalf; ; I endeavered to live . and succeed without them, and niy thanks are alone due to those who can lay a hand uPOn their heart and declare with 'a clear conscience that they areinnocent. I noW harbor not the slightest unfriendly feeling agam'st any man in Centre county, and if in' iny: entire course I: haVe. given offence to any; I hUmbly beg . pardon where I was absolutely wrong. My successors are the• Messrs. A. ct-:V.. H.

Adieu. Jour; G. ICturrz. :30 2.00 4.0) EEO SALUTATORY In assuming the proprietorship and control of the CENTRALPRESS— now the BELLEFONTE NATIONAL. it be comes our duty in accordance with au established custom to make our best bow to the Republicans of Cen tre County and the patrons of the CENTRAL PRESS and at the same time to define onr position and our future course of action. And first we will state that we look upon the Republi can pa, ty as the only representative of Liberty and the rights of man in this Country. If the republican par ty goes down with its national ideas of human freedom; the largest liber ty and the broadest philantrophy, farewell to Constitutional liberty— to the American Republic and the hopes of the poor and the oppressed of every nation, people and tongue on the face of the earth. We be lieve, if the wise council of the lead ers of the old Whig party, the coun sel of such men as Webster and. Clay, and the counsel of the wisest leaders of the Republican party had been followed, or heeded by the slave driving and liberty-hating demoracy we would have avoided the late civil war, with all its cost of blood and treasure. The southern slave owners - and Democrats accustomed to rule the Government fora period of over six ty years had determined in the 'lice of all opposition and the light and intelligence of the Nineteenth centu ry to maintain his fuedal and aristo cratic ideas in the Government, or faling in this,to secede—destroy the Government of our fathers, and rear in its stead upon a portion or our own soil a government of their own with slavery as its corner stone. The conflict of ideas came, and with it the clash of arms and a hun dred battle fields, crimsoned with the blood of three hundred thousand brave men slain to perpetuate liberty and equal rights upon the American Continen yind to make glad the heart of the oppressed and down trodden of (nay nation under heaven. Af ter loin years.of terrible and fero cious. war, the God of liattles,m an swer to the prayers of his people THE NATIONAL, BELLEFONTE, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1868. gave us the _victory and the nation rejoiced. Rejoiced because we thought when the hosts of treason surrendered to Grant and his victo rious army that peace had come, and "come to stay." The nation re joiced, but the .war was not over.. The victory which cost the nation so many hundreds of thousands. of her best men, and brought with it responsibilities which will be felt by generations yet unborn; - has been turned into a- useless .sacrifice—al most humiliating defeat—by the treachery of one—Andrew 'John son—who sought,like satan, to mus ter .up his hordes of treason and darkness; and•drive the children of light out of the•balls of the nation, and set up a pandimonium in a place which ought '6 be . sacred to reason and liberty- Had it not been for the treachery of Andrew Johnson, backed by; the rebels of the South and their Cop- , : perbead sympathizers in the: North, universal peace would now reign throughout the land, the Southren States . ,would have been fully restor ed toall their rights under the •Con stitution, and,the murders of union men for opinion sake are being com mitted every day in the'yebet' States by the ku Klaus and 'other: hell deserving Democratip,'Organiza.: lions, would never have 'disgraced he land: Fully Convinced of the'tnith of the aboVe,we . shall work as ;die never worked before to secure the elep,ticn of Grant and Colfax:. Gen. Grant says "Let us have peace." • We say letus have peace,'andwe call upon, all who prefer peace;tO war, liberty, to slavery, patriotism. to treason, to vote for Grant and Colfax .and the whole Republican ticket. • It is but the old fight renewed. .

HARTRANFT -and GEN. CAMPBELL, and the . whole county ticket. The October elec tion Will decide the contest. As goes . the State at the October, election 'so it will go with an increased majority in November. Cariy the State in 08t.'Ober, and GRANT :and CoixAx and the. nation are 'safe. . . Second, in conducting our paper we shall endeavor to avoid. ail 'per .sonalities but we shall always claim right, as it is our duty, to criticise the the actions and conduct of public men.. We will always defend tithe best of our ability the principles and candidates of our own party, while we shall expose the weakness, wick edness and rottenness of those. who represent the so-called Democratic party: But we want it distinctly understood, if any one should Make a personal attack upon us, we will with the. two edged sword of truth strike back giving blow for blow and "fight it out on that' line if it takes all summer." R. A. lints Log, E. 11. KINSLOE. LOOK AT THIS PICTURE • Who compose this miscalled Dem ocratic party that has kept the nation in the throes of dissolution since the close of the war ? • While we admit that there. are some honest, good men still co-op erating with that party, it is nevef theless true, that there is not a trai tor ()r y a man in the land who raised his sword to strike down liberty that is not arrayed in its ranks ! There is not a. ruffian who roamed the cities of the North, when treason lifted its coward hand to. stab the nation in the back—howling like a savage for blood, and murdering all who by their color or exalted prin ciples excited his barbarous. ferocity, but is a member of that party and ranks among "Seymour's friends." Democracy, that once was as pure as the the Goddess of Liberty ; has become the "social evil" of body politic. She arrays herself in the robes of the • harlot, and painted in shamelessness, goes into the dens of vice and sells her person to gain pop ularity with the vulgar. She is chewed in the rat-pit. She is be fouled in the embraces of the brutal bullies of the prize.ring.. The dainty gloved gambler, who handles the dice box, or cuts throat,isher fancy man In a word, she is theidol of crime, and her home is the sewers of the cities and the sinks of the nation. If, by the jugglery of Hell, she is restored to the position which her youthful purity once entitled her to, farewell to liberty and virtue, fare well to intelligence and honor. The, halls of the Republic will echo to the clog of the buffer, and Liberty shall be banished, weeping and de jected, from the land that was crim soiled with the blood of men that she might sit at every fire-side, and bless the people with her presence. Honest Democrats every where, lose no time in declaring for Grant and Coltlux. Desert the traitors as rats desert a sinking vessel. . Array yourselves on the side of virtue, liberty and the rights of man. NEW coNvEnTsmit.' exchanges, from all parts of the country, conic to us filled with the names of lead ing democrats who have left their party and declared for Grant and Colax.: HOW WILL bill SOLDIERS AND T}tOSE WHO SUSTAINED TEM VOTE 3 It has long been a question with. us how any loyal man, especially a suffered all the hard ships of the camp and field, could ever vote the so-called Democratic ticket. They must forget how they were treated by the leaders of that party while . they wore in the front batteling with the hordes of traitors, who, without any cause, sought to destroy the nation. - It is well,' we think, to refer occasionally to the record the Democratic party . made for itself 'ditring that:long; long and bloody struggle;, then if soldiers and loyal men can so far forget -them selyes as - to vote and associate with that party the fault is their own; not ours. They. would like to deny nOW that they ever oppoied-the war, and that they were really the best friends . of the soldier; but their record can not be obliterated, it is wiitten in the blood of thOslain, and gone down as part of the history of the In 1863, June 3rd, at a meeting held in Cooper Institute, the Peace Sneaks of the Democratic party, with the Sanction . of GOy. Seymour, passed the following resolution : • Resolved, That under the Constitution there is no power in the. Federal .Govern ment to coerce the States, or any Member of them, by military force. if the power, of coercion, eNists:at all, it.is.a legal poiv'er and not military. That. the Democratic "party, if true to its own time honored prin ciples, cannot sustain a war against sovereirin States; . that we believe it to be' -the duty of the, party to sustain these sen timents boldly, that the people may feel that there is at least one political organi za _ tion which will deal honestly, ludep el l_ dently, and truthfully with them. At -a Convention held by the Dem ocratic party in Abridge, Edgar county, 111., on the, 4th July 1863, the following resolution was unani mously adopted, voted for by every Knight of the Golden Circle and Son of Liberty present : Resolved, That we hereby undividedly pledge ourselves one to another that we will pot render„ support to the present Administration in carrying on this Aboli tion criisade against, the South; that we Will resist to the deathall attempts to draft any, of-our citizens into the army, and that we willpermit'no arbitrary arrests to be made. among us by the . minions of the Administration. This, too. at a time when . the army .was depleted and many of the . .soldiers in.the army were compelled to do double duty: sow, hear Val- . landilighaM. who : the Democrats of Ohio rnn as their candidate for Gov ernor, and who was defeated by. a n indignant and loyal people, by more than one'hunclrecl thousand majority. In 1861 he was member of the House of Representatives and in a speech delivered on the 6th day of July of the same year, he said : Then, sir, I am not a Southern man either—although in this most unholy and. unconstitutional ct Usade,against the South, in the midst of the invasion,•aison, insur recFlon, and murder to which she has been subject, and with which she is, still threat ened=with the torch of the incendiary and the dagger of the assassin suspended . over her—my most cordial sympathies are Wholly with her. He has, since he gave utterance to the above language, delivered him self of many stronger, and if possible, more treasonable sentences. He has denounced the soldiers of the Union Army as murderers, assassins and hell-hounds, and yet he is to-day the regularly nominated candidate for Congress in his own district. Straws show etc. In Chicago, at the National Dem ocratic Convention, when General M'Clelland and Mr. Pendleton were made the nominees of the party in 1864, a convention over which Gov. Seymour presided, Mr. J. A. M'Mas ters, of New York, made a speech in which he said : A man who is in favor of this unnatin al war insults the holy name of Democracy when he claims a place in its organization. He is a Judas, and should be • cast out as an enemy to humanity and to God. War and blood and rapine and truider is the legitimate business of the Lincoln minion. We wash opr hands clear of all participa ion in it. tAithough Mr, Seymour, now Dem ocratie candidate for the Presidency, was the presiding officer of that convention, he did not call Mr. M'Masters to ender, or say one word to show that he disapproved it.— How can soldiers snpport such a man. At the same convention, Mr. Seymour still in the chair, C. C. Burr, Esq., a Democrat from New Jersey defined his position in these words : The South:could not honorably lay down her arms, for she was fighting for her honor. Two millions of men had been sent down tolthe South, and the army of Lincoln could not again be filled, neither by enlistments nor conscription. if De ever uttered a player, it was that not one of the States of the Union should be con quered and.subjugated. . . We were told that we would conquerthe rebellious States:. They could not be c.onqnered;and he prayed God they never might be. This language suited Mr. Sey mour then, and he has never said or done anything since to show that he does not approve of it now. The best evidence that lie is still the same anti-war, riot-protecting-traitor he was in 1863, is that he received the nomination of the Democratic party in New York in 1868. Why did they.prefer him to Gen. Han cock? Siinply because he was a peace sneak, and Hancock had fought against his Southern brethren. We could multiply speeches and res olutions by the score to show the black and treasonable record of the leaders of the Democratic party, Gov. Seymour and his "friends," but shall ferbear•for the present. WILAT Mn. SEYMOUR. SAlD.—Back in 18G1, when theronfederate Con stitution was framed at Montgom ery, Mr. Seymour said to Judge Charles 11. Ruggles: "Judge, have you read_ the Confederate (Montgom ery) 'Constitution? * * * I have ; and it is better than ours (the Federal). Then why not obviate all difficulty by simptly adopting Mat (Confederate) Constitution And this is the man the hollow hearted DeMocracy present to us to save the Constitution from the care of the men who fought to maintain it against the Montgomery charter of treason. COPPERNEADIVI GOITE lI.P The Election, Tows, Fits gt n aEitst the new Rebellion. The election which was held in Verinont on the first day of Septem ber, has resulted in a glorious Re publican Victory and in a total rout of the peace sneaks and sympathis ers Of "our Southern brethren."

PAROLED PRISODERS.—Have the paroled prisoners taken from a bel ligerent Power any right to vote 7 If they have no right to cast a ballot themselves, would not the sence of honor which is supposed to make them worthy of the privilege and trust of a parole preclude them from attempting to control the votes of others? There are in this country many thousands of men taken in arms and yet held as prisoners of war. Instead of being confined by prison walls or guards, they are bound by a parole. The confinement is the same, only the guard is different. It will not for one moment be ed that the rebel prisoners at Alton, Rock Island, or Fort Delaware had a right to vote. But did they one whit differ from the prisoners we now hold by parole. That parole did not in any way change the status of the prisoners. It was only a substitute for a dungeon or pen. . Until specific legislation in his fa vor is had, is 'the captive belligerent in any better position than he was in 1804 ? WAS THE REBELLION RIGHT. — The Democratic leaders no longer deny that they rely on their sympathy with the rebellion and rebel votes to help them to success, and work bold ly for victory over the Great Sol dier who saved .them from all the horrors of a dissolution of the Union Two years ago they were ashamed of their treasonable reccrd—now they glory in it. Two years ago they were anxious to make Grant their candidate, . and cannonized him with Washington. NOw they hunt him with a vituper ation surpassingtheir old slanders of Abraham Lincoln. Striking hands openly with the authors of a bloody civil war, and in viting them here to repeat their threats of violence and murder, they have reached the conclusion that their ef forts to destroy the Republic are to be re warded, and that the rebellion was right eous. [Pinta. PuEss. "TAKE care of the white men!" is the pitiful whine which forms the burden of the matter which fills the columns of the Democratic papers. This may do for Democrats, but it sounds contemptible to Republican white men, who generally take care of themselves, and durinc , the war took care of a good many Demoerats besides. WORK, NOT WORM, The rebel Democracy are working to seize the Government with a zeal only surpassed by their eager efforts to destroy .it. Saved by the Republicans, the rebel Democracy have resolved to capture and to hold it. The leaders in this State, so in different and hostile to the Govern ment during the war ; so cold to ev ery patriotic impulse s so ad to ev ery sense of duty and of gratitude; have been galvanized into super-hu man activity by the frantic cries of the rebel chiefs, and are working steadily under their con= and. They are making an ina victual can vass , reaching every veto' not only by circulars and by newspapere, but by personal appeal. They are, as. in 1867, paying so much money for every ntw recruit added to the rebel cause. Their programme may be under stood by thelfollo . wing report of the speech of W. A Wallace chairman of the Democratic • Stite Central Committee, at a Democratic meeting in Pottsville, some days since : "I come on business,and if I can meet you as I wish, it may he productive of good. What business is more important than that which tends to the preseriation of the lives and property of citizens. I ask the same attention to this in the spirit which you attend to your private business. The successful merchant attends strictly to the details of his business ; likewise the mechanic and the farmer. Politics is a business, and must,- if we intend to be suc cessful, be attended to with care and fidel ity. Organize from the bottom up, not from the top down.' We must pay close at tention to the details. What are those de ails? Simply, to write down all the names of all Democrats, of all Republicans, and if all doubtful voters. Have an executive committee that shall attend to this. Sub divide your election districts, and during all the weight of your irillueiMe to bear on the doubtful ones to change them. Go to work, and don't bloW about it. Do it si lently. Ifold your tongue about what you do. There is always some one in a locali ty- who is weak kneed, Go at him care fully and fix him. 1 come here to urge you to this work.. Don't depend on shows, processions, and meetings. They don't amount to anything. Go to your execu tive committee, and it will give you use ful work to do. If you fail to make con verts, why, resolve to organize the Demo cracy, and go as a phalanx to the polls. Take warning by the falling off of your vote in 1867, by Democrats staying at home. See that every man comes to the polls on the day of election. Bring them if necessary. This work will tell in its in fluence in the coming election. Attend to I,te men ready to be naturalized. The chai &men of the State ftwi county comtnit,- tees are powerless unless you join with. them and assist. Ii this Ivork should be done victory will be won. I come to im press upon you the necessity of organiz ing. The material for the work is in the hands of the county committee. Form clubs, and remember if we carry the Key., stone State in October; the West will go for Seymour and Blair. The turning point is - October: . We thank Mr. Wallace for so bold ly showing his hand. We like his plan. We spread it before the Re publicans for their careful study, and we know that good will come. of ' it. Let our motto be, "Work, Not Words." And let us.be stimulated by these rebel plots. It is• a great prize for which they are working. Whipped on the field of battle, they boldly appeal to the ballot-box ; and if they win now, they will prove more skil ful in peace than in war. But how much greater our inspi ration'! We work for a rescued country, for a purified Constitution, for a redeemed race, for the memory of the sacred dead, for the reward of the heroic living. .We work for. Grant, who saved us our liberties. . We. work for our national credit, without which Grant would to-day be an outlaw and Davis enthroned at Washington. We work to prevent a new war. We work, therefore, for peace and Freedom. Republicans, War Democrats, Boys in Blue, begin at once to or ganize and to canvass, and remember the motto, "Work, Not Words !" Phil. Press. WORDS OFGENERAL BURNSIDE in Providence, it, 1., on Friday evening of last week, a meeting was held to take preliminary sieps towards forming a 'Central Grant and Colfax Club." Gen eral Burnside was chosen chairman, and in accepting the position the gallant Gen eral made the following ringing speech: ConnAnns: We all know the object for which this meeting is called, We have gone through a long and hardy campaign, and now we are called to another. The is sues are not changed. We are animated by the same sentiments and principles now as then. The same men who opposed the war for the Union are now the allies of the enemies of our country. It requires no studied eloquence nor elaborate statement to teach us our duty in the coming cam paign, but, it. is simply to sustain the Gov— ernment and support. those who sustained us when in the field. The same people who opposed us when fighting the battles of our country, now oppose the election of Grant and Colfax, and advocate the elec Lion of Seymour and Blair. They are the same men who told you and told me we never could conquer the rebels, and the mew whom we must meet at the polls an d finish with the ballot the work we supposed WaS done with the bullet, by the election of Grant. and Colfax. The issue is as plain and distinct as in the last election, when Abraham Lincoln was elected and General McClellan defeated. It is the old contest of loyalty with disloyalty, and in that Con test lam with you heart. and soul. ' Tun political prospect in Tennes see is flattering, notwithstanding the efforts of Albert Pike and N. B. Forrest to excite insurrection. General George 11. Thomas is con fident that peace will be preserved, and Governor Brownlow, in his Knoxville Whig, of the 19th ult., has an article, with his editorial im primatur, which says: Now that the contest has narrowed down to one between the old rebel leaders of the South and the loyal masses of the North and South, hundreds that voted with the enemy last summer are coming over to the Giant and Colfax. ticket. The Radicals carried the State last August by a majority of fifty-two thousand, whereas Grant's majority will not 11111 below sixty thousand. From every county in East Tennessee we hear of daily accessions to the Radical ranks. They are joining the leagues rapidly. Many intelligent men who acted with the Conservative party say they can't stand such speeches as are made by Wade Hampton,Bob Tooms, Ben Hill, Howell Cobb, an others of the old se cession leaders.. The letters of Frank Blair and Ed. Ewing, and the incendiary speeches of A. S. Colyar, are rapidly doing the work for the rebel Democratic ticket. In a word, the people are everywhere be ,, 6 6 inino• to realize the fact that this rebel party are laboring to bring on another war, and to restore the lost cause by achieving the independence of a Southern Confed eracy. _ GEN. BL7MIANAN FOR GRANT.—The New Orleans correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial writes : It will please many of his old comrades and thousands of others to hear, and I an nounce it authoritatively, that Gen eral Buchanan, lately commanding the Fifth District, and somewhat sharply criticised by the iadicals for his conservative tendencies, announ ces his preference for Grant, and says he will be our next President. TENNESSEE The New Rebellion--•-First Fruits Seymour and Blair—Shall there be Peace or War. Tennessee is perhaps at this time the most disturbed State in the Union. Many persons suppose that events in it portend another insurrection against the general government, an other scene of civil war, anarchy and bloodshed. The Democratic leaders everywhere throughout the State protest that they desire peace, but Union men are not assured by such protestations. They know that masked gangs in many parts of the State make the lives of Union men unsafe. They know that outrages upon ncgroes are frequent, and that ex-rebels threaten civil war if the State militia is called out, and will rule with a high hand if it is not called out. In East and Middle Tennessee no serious apprehensions are felt of another war, but in west Tennessee there is considerable alarm. WHY THERE IS ALARM In Madison county Union men are completely ostracised, and dare not form any Republican association. In Gibson county it would be dan gerous for any man to denounce the Ku-klux outrages. In Obion county there have been many blacks whip ped and robbed for being Radicals. Hundreds of blacks have been driven out by violence from their homes in Maury, Lawrence, Giles • and other counties in Middle Tennessee. In Rutherford county a woman has been cruelly whipped, near Ver sailles, on suspicion of having told who some of the Ku-klux were. At Humboldt, Gibson county, a white man was recently whipped, and a negro so maltreated that he died of the injuries he received-, their sole crime being that they were Radicals. At McKenzie a white man and sev eral uegroes were recently outraged. A man in Rutherford, for teaching negro children in Sunday School, was recently taken from his home, by eleven masked Democrats, and se verely whipped. At the recent Re publican State CoUvention there was a number of delegates who had been outraged, and several members of the State Legislature had to travel circuitous routes by night, to escape assassination, when corning to Nash ville. The Military Committee of the State Legislature has had before it some hundreds of witnesses who testified to the great increase of dis loyal violence, and recited numerous cases of diabolical outrages upon Union men. One man exhibited his feet, which had been blistered by being held before a fire by Ku-klux torturers. The Democratic leaders, while claiming to desire peace, tell their followers that the calling out of the State militia will be such an ag ' gression on the part of the State Government that it is certain to bring on war, and-that if it does so, their first purpose must be to kill off all white Radicals. Recently the Ap peal advised its Democratic readers, in anticipation of another war, to arm themselves, and headed its arti cle in capitals, "Set the Law at De fiance." At a recent Democratic demonstration in Memphis,the South ern Confederacy was loudly cheered, and at the Brownsville Democratic Convention, on last Monday, Gen. Forrest assured them that it would ' not be two years before the North ' would admit that the South 'was all right in the rebellion. Not long since the Avalanche wanted to know why the Ku-kluk "hadnot the hearts of Radicals on their daggers," and Gen. Pike, in a recent speech at Centre Hill, Mississippi, sought to inflame the young men and make them swear that no Northern man should cross the Ohio and live. All the Democratic Tapers of the South denounce Congress and declare that all authority exercised in the South by the present State Governments is tyrannical, and should be resisted and overthrown by the people. They all seek to excite the bitterest ani mosity against Republicans. Not one of them denounces Ku-klux out rages.. Not long since the Browns 121e Bee intimated that a citizen of that place would be murdered if he further offended the Ku-klux. The tone of these Democratic papers, the speeches of Democratic leaders, and the outrages by masked Democrats in all parts of the country, gives ground for the opinion that unre pentant treason contemplates another outbreak and the consequent collis ion with the State and General Gov. eminent is not what these Southern Democrats desire. I believe they have a well settled purpose, and that this purpose is illustrated by their whole conduct and language. WHAT is THE PURPOSE OF SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS The Democratic leaders in the South frequently avow that they are now certain to attain all for which Southern blood was shed in the re bellion: The object was security in dominating over the black race. They sought this by force of arms and failed. They expect to attain it now by getting the political control of the Southern States, by driving out or scaring away white Radicals, and then by legislation or terrorizing crushing the blacks. Every demon stration of Democratic sentiment in this State or the South, every KA klux outrage, every expression of rebel desires for peace, every denun ciation of Republicans, every lauda tion of Gen. Blair's policy is explain able, when 'it is known that every rebel hopes to gain now what he failed to gain by armed treason and rebellion. HOW UNION MEN FEEL The danger of another war either precipitated by direct intent or brought on by outrages upon the blacks is inducing thousands of per sons to leave the South. Within the last year the value of property in Memphis has decreased over $l9, 000,000, and there are now over 450 stores empty on the principal streets of that city. Union men are trying to get away from all parts of West Tennessee, and are sacrificing their property for that purpose, but there are many white Radicals who will not be forced to leave. Their tone is, "It may be rough for us, but if the rebels want another ght let them bring it on." In • many parts of this State the ex-rebels claim that as they have been pardoned by the General Government, the State has no right longer to disfranchise them, and that they will vote at the Presi dential election if they have to fight for it. TILE STATE GUAMDS The Democratic leaders declare that the calling out of State guards to protect all citizens against out- rages by masked Democrats will certainly bring on a conflict, and the Legislature has been assailed with menaces. warnings• and urgent ap peals not to call out the militia. It has been promised that all should be quiet, that there should be no dis turbance on election day, but the continuance of outrages and violence and threats give the lie to such pro mises, and as the Legislature is as sured that in many parts of the State no black will be safe in voting the Republican ticket, it is certain that the militia bill will be passed. My impression is,.that finding their game of bluff foiled, the Democratic leaders will not have the nerve to bring on another war just yet. If Seymour and Blair are elected, there will be such an increase of disloyal arrogance, such a consciousness 'of the backing of the General Govern ment, that Union men in the South will have a hard road to travel. If Grant and Colfax are elected, the last hopes of Southern Democrats will be defeated, and they will accept inevitable fate. They will no longer seek to detest the national will and to gain by indirection what they failed to gain by force. WE copy the following responsi ble letter from the Lutheran Observer. As it is written by the pastor of a church in Washington, who is well acquainted with the subject of which he treats, it will forever set aside the miserable charge of the moral Cop perheads against Gen. Grant's charac ter : GENERAL GRANT AND THE TEMPER ANCE MENTLIEIR QUESTIONS AN- SEVERED-LION. SCHUYLER GOLFAX An esteemed Christian minister, for himself and for "many" whom he represents, writes me, asking, "Is it a fact that General Grant is a drinking man "Does he drink in toxicating liquors to excess ? Is he a drunkard ? Many of us (ministers) want to know whether these charges are true, and are willing to rest the question on your decision." It is proper that the people of this laud should know whether these things are so, and these questions have been thoroughly investigated by men at the Capitol, interested in all that pertains to the well being of the Republic. Their unequivocal and emphatic answer to these queries Is, No! General Grant's appear ance indicates nothing of . the kind. I have seen him repeatedly in his office, upon the street, and at his own residence, and have seen nothing upon which to give these charges the shadow of foundation. Those who know him bestz—total abstinence men, and Christian men, soldiers and civilians, say that he does not taste even wine—that his habits are strictly in accordance with the. tem perance principles of the day. It is not amiss for me to add, that Hon. Schuyler Colfax punctiliously abstains from all appearance of evil, in this respect. He is a communi cant in the Reformed (Dutch) Chuich a denomination not represented by a church organization at the Capitol. He is a pew holder in St. Paul's Lutheran church, of which the writer of this is Pastor. The Lord hasten the time when all American states men and soldiers shall keep . God's Sabbaths and reverence His sanctu aries.. Glad that I am able to furnish this testimony, I am very truly yours, B* * * WASHINGTON, Aug. 7, 1868. ONE of the best- replies we have noticed in the canvass is that of the Hon. John A. Bingham, of Ohio, who, while speaking at a Republican meeting in Bangor, Maine, was in suited by a Copperhead, who cried out, "How about Mrs. Surratt ?" Mr Bingham instantly responded How about her P Go and consult the lee ords of the court that tried and convicted her. Go and ask General Hancock, who who issued the order for her eNectition in spite of a writ of habeas corpus which had been served upon him ; and, if you are still unsatisfied, go and ask that apostate Presi dent, Andrew Johnson, why he refused a pardon after a petition had been sent him signed by every membpr but one of the court who tried her, and drawn up in the handwriting of the man you seek to insult.
