In three years the Republi can "despotism, " has reduced the Army from 1,005,516 men, to less than 40,OfH3, and the reduction is still going on. What an awful tyranny ? RECONSTRUCTED. Of the eleven States which went into the rebellion, eight have been restored to their proper relations to the Union, and are represented in Congress.. These are the governments which Frank Blair wants to "disperse," and which the Copperhead Platform denounces as uncon stitutional and void. Where IT west. Seymour and his sup porter have the impudence to ask what has become of the public money, after inaugn niost gigaritlc reftemon tne world ever saw. The money went to put down the Demo cratic rebellion, to pay the soldiers, and provide for the widows and the orphans, and as far as money can, to heal the wounds made by Democratic treason. Well they know where the money went. Where it wotiD go. The Sevmourn crs ak where the public money went. It is not difficult to tell where it would go if they had the power. It would go to puy the rebel debt, to compensate rebel saerifi ces to destroy the Government, to pay pen sions to rebel soldiers, and their widows and orphans. It would go, where it went before when they had the power, into the pockets of such Democratic thieves as Floyd and Cobb, et id genus omne. Magnanimity. Gen. Grant has recom mended to the President the remission of the remainder of the sentences and the re lease of all persons now in confinement under the sentence of military commissions organ ized under the Reconstruction Acts. This shows the magnanimity of the man. While his enemies and the enemies of the nation are spouting treason and threatening revolu tion, he shows that in his mind there is no malice to those whom he regards as mistaken in their policy. Louisiana. Governor Warmouth, of Louisiana, informs the President that a se cret organization exists in the State, found ed for the purpose of subjugating tue color ed people, and aiming at civil war. He as serts that its leaders intend to assassinate the presiding officers of the Legislature ; that they drill openly in the streets of New Orleans, and meditate a bloody revolution. Mr. Johnson is asked to send troops to pro tect the State Government. To this con dition has Louisiana been brought by the promises of the New York Convention, and the speeches of such blatant rebels as Hampden, Toombs, Vance, and others. What might we not expect if Seymour and Blair were elected? Gold on the Eise. On the day the Rebel Convention asset, bled in New York, Gold was quoted at 1.40i. In one month after the promulga tion of their ticket and repudiation platform and the utterances of Hampden, Forrest. ance and Toombs in support of them, gold has gone np to 1.49 ! Just as during the war, rebel excesses and temporary victories Put np gold and depreciated Government securities, so now, rebel repudiation plat forms and threats of a new rebellion have a s.m.lar effect It there was tny reasonable prospect ol Seymour ,nd Blalr-S efcctioDi gold would go np at once to 2.S5 what u was hen they met in Chicago aud'decfared the war a failure in 1S4. Seymour Accepts. The 'long expected coiue at last' letter of Horatio Seymour, accepting the Demo cratic nomination, occupies two columns of an ordinary newspaper, and is far more re markable lor whut it does not, than for what it does contain. The financial question is dropped 'like a hot potato' not a word about "payment i" greenbacks." Like a "Stated-man" he dudies this difficulty, and leaves the '"plow holders" in the Y'est and the "bloated bond holders" in the East, to fight it out on any '"line" they please. E.ually silent is this letter on the subject of i "a white man's government," negro su premacy, and "ntager equality." Although his supporters all over the conntry are ex claiming against the negro, and declaring to their de'nded followers that eight millions of white men in the Suth are to be kept down and desraded by three millions of negroes, not one word hasthe "Statesman," in all his prolix epistle, to say on th; favor itc theme. A.trnin, we have searched the elaborate production from one end to the other, to ascertain his views on the proposi tion of his 'confederate' F. P. B!a:r, to dis perse the "carpet bag governments" in the South, but not a word could we find. On the subject of Blair's new revolution, the letter is as silent as the grave. Whether he too, 'ike liiair, Hampden, Forrest, and others, proposes to nullify the laws of Con gress and resist, by the bayonet, their en forcement, we are wholly left to conjecture. What the letter does contain is simply an ii'dietment of the party in power for endeav oring to reconstruct the states lorn asunder by the Democratic rebellion. Kvery thing done by Congret-s is wYorg, in the esti mation of Mr. Seymour. It was all wrong in I SO I to prevent the rebels from going out of the Union on their own terms, and it is all wrong in 1S("S to permit them to come back on any terms but their own. Mr. Sey mour would have them do just as they please, and hence he protests most stren uously against "radical violence !" But as he has been protesting against it for the last eight years, it has got to be an old song. He declared, four years ago, that radical vio lence was a "failure," and of course we would not expect so consistent a 'statesman' to change his opinion. He has nothing to say, however, about the "violence" of the "Ku Klux Klan," murdering and robbing Union men all over the South orabout the threats of Blair, Wade Hampden, Vance, Perry, Toombs and Hill that they will over turn, by force, the existing governments in Presidency. His elaborate disertation on "violence" might with perfect propriety be addrts-ed to his colleague t n the tick et, and to his supporters who are threat ening a second rebellion and civil war. If he is so much in favor of peace, and j uiet, and order, why does he not boldly and open ly disown thesehomesof Blair ami Hampden to piunge this country into a second bloody struggle I If he is too w k : ml ! o timor ous to repudiate these schemes now, would he not lack the will, the judgement, and the ! resolution to prevent their consummation if j elected? ! It isi ea-y to find fault wbh Congress and the Republican party i0r the manner in which the war was conducted and the states reconstructed, but it is not so easy to j demonstrate hw the nation is to bedeliver- j ed from the evils brought upon it by the ' Democratic rebellion, and restored to aeon dition of perfcet and enduring peace and pros perity. Mr. Seymour can pick flaws, but why doesjie not propose a remedy ? He offers no solution of the financial problem, and no plan by which the Southern states can be reconstructed. He says "vote the Democratic ticket-elect me to the Presi- I dem y," and then what ? Why "the election of a PuiMjcratie Executive and a majority j of Democratic members to the House 0f Representatives trould not girethat parti or ganisation the jmirrr to male sudden or vio lent changes " What a plea for a 'States- man ?' If he were elected, wit h a H nise of Representatives to back him, he would have no power to remedy the evils he deplores! Then why elect him ? Have we not, for the last three years. een enough of a want of harmony between the different departments of the Government ? It must be perfectly j plaitr. lrom his own .-howing, that whatever 1 difficulties and troubles press" upon this I country, no relief is to be obtained by the election of Horatio Seymour. This pitiful, begging, egotistical and lying letter, has added nothing to the strength of the Tammany ticket, but has only served to weaken the force of Blair's manifesto with those who made both ticket and platform the rebels in the South. Its sophUtry will deceive no Republicans, while its irresolu tion will disgust many of his own party.

Facts and Figures. Taking their cue from the speech ot their candidate just before the New York conven tion, the Copperheads expect to blind the people to the issues in vc lved in .Jis con test, by presenting an imposing array of figures to show not only the enormous taxation of the country, but the extravagant waste of the public money by the party in power. Over looki ng.or concealing the fact that when they had control of the Government, under the administration of Buchanan, the Treasury was robbed until it was empty, and ti e public credit was so low that thetr financiers j could not borrow money at twelve per cent., I so that when Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated he found the Government bankrupt alike in assetts and in credit, they point to the enormous amount of the national debt, and affirm that it has been swelled to its gigantic piopcrtions by the wasteful extravagance of Congress. It might be a sufficient answer to remind them, that whatever the debt may be. and however buthensome to the people, it was brought upon the country by a Dem ocratic rebellion a rebellion growing out of Democratic teachings, fostered and encour aged by Democratic leaders, inaugurated under a Democratic Administraion, fought by Democrats in arms aided and assisted by their compatriots throughout the North, and carried on with arms, munitions, and money stolen by Democrats from the Gov ernment they were attempting to destroy. In the face of such a record, complaints of the size of the public debt, and the burthen of taxation, come with a bad grace from Democratic politicians. But their imposing figures and charges of extravagance, disappear when brougt to the te.-r of investigation, like snow under the rays of a tropical sun. Mr. Seymour said, in the speech to which we have referred, "Since the war closed in 1865 the Govern ment has spent for expenses, in addition to payment on the principal and interest of the public debt, more than one thousand mil lions of dollars, of this sum there has been nearly eight hundred millions spent on the army and navy and for military purposes. This is nearly one third of the national debt, and teas spent in tt time of peace." Now mark the assertion. Let it not be misunder stood a third of the rational debt has ac cumulated since the close of the war, and the country is paying for its army and navy nearly $270,000,XM) per anum in a time of peace ? This is what Mr. Seymour would convey he means this or he means nothing, and he must have Known when must know when they repeat it, that it was u'terlj fake. Let us look at it for a moment. When the war ended there were l.(XC,5I6 men in the Lniou armies.and nearly Sve hundred vessels in the navy, fully manned, blockading three thousand miles of coast. Preperations were immediately made to muster this vast fores out of service. Money had to be raised, not only for the back pay due the soldiers and sailors, but lor the clo.-ing bounty, and for the va.-t amount of prize money due in the navy. It was raised (not by Seymour and his party, for he boasts that he owned no Government bonds) by the loyal people, and within one hundred and seventy-four days aftr Grant dictated the terms of surrender " l'le "sts of tho rebellion, the Treasury l'alJ "ut $G-j,lW0,000, or more than three fourths of the whole sum stated by Mr. Seymour as the army and navy expense for the last three years ! Now this sum, the necessary expense of mustering out the' vast forces of the Union, deducted from Mr. Seymours total of $S0O,000,ihK),Ieaves$I75, OOO.tiOu, as the current and actual expenses t''tne whole army and navy for the last three years, or $5S.000,O(K) of dollars per annum, instead of $-70,000,000, as he assert,d. And included in this sum are the bounties raid under the Act of 28 July lsOli, to all soldiers.and the heirs of soldiers, who served two and three years, and the pen s'ons ,,:''J 10 J'-bled soldiers, and to widows and orphans. If an ordinary man, and not a "statesman" had made such an assertion lie would have been branded as a li dem agogue. When we compare these figures with the expenses of'ths army and navy under the Ad- ministration of Mr. Buchanan, when there ua teen and was no war, we will be prepared to appreciate the Democratic promises of economy. In 1S5S the expenses of the navy were $14,000,000, and of the army $2(3,000,000, or for both S40,0O0,0u0 in gold ! The army consisted of 16,000, men, and the whole force employed in the navy was 7,f(,0. During the last three years the army has necessarily been kept up to about 50,000 men, so that under a Demo cratic admistration it cost nearly as much in gold, to maintain an army of lfi,000 men. a3 it cost as it costs, in paper, under the management of Gen. Grant, to maintain a force of SO xh3 ! Let us hear no more about Democratic economy. So far from 'one-third of the national debt having accumulated since the close of the j of the war, as Mr. Seymour asserts, the Principal of the debt has been largely and rapidly diminished. When the war closed in 1S65, the total debt was set down in round numbers at three thousand millions of dol lars. By the official statement of the Sec- retary of the Treasury, just published, the total amount of the debt on the first day of the present month, less cash in the Treasury was 2,523,534,450,67, showing that it has diminished in three years 5470, 4C5.5i 3,33. It isevidont therefore that, though "figur es don't lie," the same cannot be said of Mr. Seymour and his advocates. It is pos sible to quote figures, and by concealing or distorting their true significance, produce a false impression. It is the trick of a despic able demagogue to deceive the people.in the hope that his own treasonable record will be kept in the back ground and forgotten, but : it merits and will receive the contempt and scorn of a!! honor-able men. i - The "Bigger"' Delegate. Joseph E. Williams, of Tennessee, the "nigger" delegate to the New York Conven tion, is a black "cart et tagecr," having been born and raised in Philadelphia, and having resided in Washington at the out break of the rebellion. What manner of man this Williams is can be inferred from a sketch of his subsequent career, which we find in the Detroit Post. The writer, an ex army officer, says : When Major George Steams, of Boston, was sntby the Govern or to Nashville, in 1S03, to raise and organ ize colored troops, having become acquain ted with Mr. WiHiams, he took him along to assist in raising re ruiis. Not meeting his expectations, Williams was a.-igned to my regiment (Thirteenth U. S. C. I.) as sergeant mnjor, f,om which position he was reduced to the ranks- within two months, "for incompetency and disobedience of or ders." From that time forward the "guard house report" will give his principal record. He was court-martialed three times, and sentenced to "hard labor with ball and chain, and loss of pay ;" was sent to the guard house dozens of times by his- commanding officers for insolence and disobedience ; was always taken sick when a march or a fight was anticipated ; was never in any but fist fights, in which he was always at fault and sure to get whipped ; was missing at the battle of Nashville and the subsequent campaign against Hood, in which his regi ment took a prominent part, and was held in contempt by the lowest private in the regiment." We always thought it would take a veo1 mean "nigger" to be a delegate to a copperhead convention, and we were not mistaken.

Eon. Chas. Francis Adams. -Mr. Adams, our late Minister to England, in a letter declining an invitation to address a Republican meeting in Quincy, Mass., avails himself of the opportunity to say that his political sentiments are unchanged, and the same as when he received his appoint ment from Mr. Lincoln ; in other words, the Republicans of Quincy in presuming he is with them, made no mistake. Mr. Adams is one of a class of public men of distinction on whose support the Democrats counted, in all of whom, thus far, they have been egregiously mi taken. Cam p.k;n" Pai-kii. The enterprising pro prietor of the ' Ilarrisburg Telegraph" has issued a campaign paper, called the "Cam paign Telegraph," which he proposes to furnieh until after the election for 30 cents, and to clubs of ioity or more, at 25 cuts each.

The party will be in pr -cisely the same condition, after the whirlwind on the 3d of November. The last thing the rebels did before the war was to vote the Democratic ticket. Their first act since the war is to vote the Democratic ticket. There was but one step from Democracy to rebel lion, and it is perfectly natural that there should be but one step back from rebellion to Democracy. Ihe Copperheads are very anxious that we should deal with present and not with the past. Let the ' dead past bury its dead" they say All right, but we will erect a tomb stone to the mem ory of -its dead.'. When the graves of three hundred thousand loyal heroes, bntcbered by the Democratic rebellion. are forgotten, then the tomb stone can be removed , and not until then.

It is ycleped the -'Mansion House " It is now receiving the 'finishing touch' in the shape of a ben coop at the Western end. "The Drift of the Tide." Wallace's "tide" still continues to "drift" the wrong wsy. The prospects of Seymour and Blair are "growing small by degrees, and beautifully less." The following are a few examples: TheElmira Guzette., the only Democratic daily paper in Chemung county.New York, declares that Horatio Seymour cannot and should not be elected, and accordingly runs up the Republican nominees. The Steubenville Herald states that "the German Democrats of Ohio are abandoning that party by thousands and enrolling among the friends of Gran' and peace." The Uepubh'c, the Washington organ of the war Democrats, has hoisted the flae of Grant and Colfax and is battling vigorously lor the cause. It would have gone lor Chase but it can't follow Wade Hampton's lead. The Zanesville (Ohio) German!, the on ly German paper published there, which has hitherto been Democratic, in last week's issue repudiates Seymour ami Dlair. The Ualcigh (N. C.) Standard guarantees 50, 0(10 majority for Grant and Colfax in North Carolina. The Hon. David Kilgore, formerly r pre sent ative in Congress from Indiana, and during the past three years a nann support er of the President, has repudiated the Democratic nominations, and will take the stump lor Grant and Colfax. The Mahanoy (Schuylkill Co.) Gazette, heretofore a neutral paper.last week run up the Republican ticket, with the following announcement : We raise this week the Republican stand ard. Now that the enemies of Republican liberty have organized ; now that the adhe rents of treason again show a bold front ; now that the friends ot the "lost cause" have in the South plucked up courage, r-liperpd bv the substantial aid and comfort extended "by the Copperhead Democracy of j the North, who without the courage to tc avowed rebels have, at the same time, all the instincts of insidious traitors, we are convinced that it is the time for every loyal paper to show its colors. The New York Journal of Commerce, whieh speaks the m'n.ds of the solid men of the party, gives up the contest, and says the action of the Tammany Convention forfeited the support of the honest portion of the party. Had "two good Conservative Dem ocrat s" been pre.tMcd, it says, "the ticket could have been elected by an everwhelming majority." As it is, however, there is no hope. We quote : "We shall not be surprised if the propor tion of those who actually refrain from vo ting should be of it -elf l eyond all former precedent It might have been far otherwise if there had been virtue and deci-i-ion enons'h among those who are direct lv responsible for the action of the Con vent ion." This Democratic journal could not have employed language better to indicate its be lief that the election of Grant and Colfax is already placed beyond a question. Blair's opinion of Grant. The Leavenworth (Ivy) 7is.of Sunday, "1 1 tTO. -a,re 1 1 x-, ti.iiK 1 . , i i , oi ler his speech in this city, in the presence of a number of gentlemen, and in reply toa remark that "Grant, was a fool," said: "Sir, you are mistaken. Grant is no fool. I know him well. I knew him before he went into the army, and when he used to haul wood into the city of St. Louis. I met him often in the service. I know the man. lie is, by , the greatest man of the age. Sherman, Shridan, and Thomas are .good men, but Grant is worth more than all of them. Oliver Cromwell aud Napoleon Donepartc were both great men, but, sir, I tell you that Grant is a greater man than both put together. He is no talker, but he is one of the d est thinkers in the worl 1. He is ambitious, but he don't show it; and I tell you if he is elected, he will set up a monarchy and establish him self Lmperor. I tell you, that the people are mistaken when they suppose Grant to be a fool. They have good reason to fear his greatness." "'es,but don't you think that, he will be controlled by such men as Sumner, Wilson and Washburne?" "Controlled? Controlled? Why, by , he would sweep them away like straw." "But, General, don't you think that cir cumstances have done a great deal for Grant?" "Why, h 11, the fellow has made the circumstances. I tell you that it is .oo luck. The man that can spring right up fro n poverty and obscurity, and do uhat he has done, is no mere creature of circumstances. Circumstances dou't run so much in one way." " I am a Democrat; but if General Grant is such a great man as you sav he is. I am a Grant man from this out." "Well, if you want a despotism, vote f)r him ; but if you want a Republican form of Government, you will have to vote against him. 1 know that he is a great man, and . in saying so, I simply tell the truth."

Chicago Post. Try again, Gorgie. A Fraud. The Democratic papers have been publishing what put ported to be a speech made by Gen Custerat the Tammany Convention. The General writes that he has not been at New York in a year, and has not made a speech within that time, there fire so far as he is concerned the publication is a fraud. Unripentant.

IIe is a knave either in the first or in the last step. "A nigger and an ignoramus for Judge ' buch is loyalty." Rrpubliean. Why not "Judje" as well as delegate to the Democratic Convention ?
