Mr. John Cessna, unappreciated can slidate for the Democratic Executive nom ination, now Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, like all great toen, has felt it his duty to issue an ad siren to the people. It is a frothy, weak and pompous document, full of untruth ful charges and glaring misstatements,— in short. just such an epistle as we would expect from a renegade, John in particu lar. In this address he labors to prlive that the party with which he was connec ted up to the fall of 18 ;3, whose candidate for Governor he was anxious to be in that I ear, and whose principles the best years of his life were spent in advocating, has been since the war a treasonable organisa tion I Strange, indeed, that JOhn, with his intense patriotism. should have been thoroughly identified with thin "disloyal!' party for three years of the war. and stranger still that he should have been willing to become its candidate for the highest office is the State. yea, mortified beyond measure that he did not succeed in becoming such As a sample of what a man can do, af ter be he• once become reoreaut to his former faith, wo will simply state that (Saone. iu his address, altuolly has the boldness to assert that the question of negro suffrage Is not at issue in the' ores ent campaign in Pennsylvania. Impu dence and dishonesty can go no fu•ther. Almost every County Convention, Demo• critic or Republican, has passed resolu tions on the subject, every political paper In the Commonwealth is arrayed on one ek<ke or the other of it, the neople make St the'leading topic of their discussions, all the signs of the timPs indicate that it Ss the great, all pervading idea of the canna, and yet Mr. Cessna, with brazen laced assurance, announces to an &Mon iabed public that negro suffrage is no Isle merit of our State politics. Oh„ John, John. We have seen renegades do many unmanly..acts before, but yours, for dowr. right depravity and bold untruth, caps the climax. Horace Greeley does not agree with Cessna. He thinks the megro question the main one at issue here u well as else- where. In the course of some well•timed comments on the policy of political eva sion,in the Tribune of Monday, be thus sharply raps Mr. Rep üblican Chairman Cessna over the knuckles for "his dishon esty : "We are sorry to see Mr. Cessna shirk a point so frankly and justly pressed upon him. I/negro suirraqe is not an issue in Penn, aritunia we should like to know what is. The offices to be chosen are trivial affairs, and searoely worth the taking. Whether Gen. B artran ft or Col. Davis becomes Auditor General makes little'difference. They are both exoeilent men, fought gallantly nn• til the war ended. and have high personal traits of character—Cot. Davie being a rather bigoted Democrat but a good sol dier. The purpose of the campaign in Pennsylvania and everywhere else, as we understand it, is to advance the cause of Freedom. (that is, give the black the bal let.) and preserve the discipline of the :Union (Republican) party for that pur pose—to see that the great results of this War are not nickel up and carried off by rebels and Copperheads. The 0 14 issu e remaining' upon which the Union (RA. publican) party can concentrate and call out the enthusiasm of the masses is this very issue of manhood suffrage. We must declare that labor IPwla to the ballot.box, and that they who Work and create wealth shall have the power of making and ex ecuting the Jews governing wealth." Oca D tmticratio brethren in Elk and Clearfield counties have got into a morti fying difficulty over their legislative nom inee. Etch county claims the candidate, and each is supporting one of its own. :fie trust our friends there will have the good sense not to permit the great nation al cause to be imperilled by mere person al or local issues. Let the fair minded members of the party in both counties get together, and if they cannot agree upon either of the candidates presented, compromise on some other sound man who will reconcile the conflicting claims. It is very unpleasant to see our friends pulling one another by the ears in any locality, when the prospects generally are looking so favorable.' A similar difficulty has occurred over the Senatorial nomination in the York and Cumberland district. The eternal jangles between these two counties may be very interesting to the people there, but they are a source of much' annoyance to the Democrats throttehout the Stato, Why is it that our friends in that district can not settle on some gust basis which will harmonize the disputing interests, and give each county its due share of the offices? If it were not for the great im portance of securing, the Legislature, we would almost be reconciled to see the party whipped now and then in these quarrelsome localities, in order th a t it, might learns wholesome lesson. Tea civil Ira grew out of the conflict of opposing sentiments and interests, fanned into ultraism by the ever intensifying gale of sectional dispute. The end of the ap peal to arms leavei the ultraists of one side silent, subdued and submissive, while the ultraista of the other side are more ultra, more aggressive and more malignant than ever. And this is the only remaining ob. steels to national harmony and entire res. Location of the Union. Mit. WC'S LIITTICIL In reply to our allusions, Mr. DeCamp has inserted a communication in the Gc zette, over his signature, which no one but a personal enemy could have induced him to present to the pub ' e. It is at once so weak PO so vulnerable so groundless in its accusations, and so defenceless in its general character, that even his political friends freely express their mortification and astonishment at its appearance. There is politively nothing in the half column of nonsense which Mt. DeCamp has seen fit to Impose upon the previously effiicted enough readers of the goadle. which does credit either to his julgaient or ability. His personal accusations will have no weight with those who know us, and whose good opinion we care for. His po• litical charges are simply a rehash of the same nauseating stuff that•has been dealt out in the name of " loyalty " for four years past, and like the rest, have merely a partizan meaning. -Suffice it to say, that in our entire course, since the commence ment of the war, we have been actuated solely by a desire for the beat interests of the country ; that if we have committed errors, they were mistakes. of judgment, and not of intention ; and that every charge, either by Mr. DeCanip or others, of a design to extend sympathy to the ene mies of the Republic, to destroy confi dence in the Government, to weaken the public credit, to disparage the defenders of the nation, or to cause a failure in the struggle, we pronounce base and unfound ed calumnies. The last paragraph of Mr. DsCrtenp's letter need only be , seen to suggest its proper answer. Every - man of good char. actor who reads it will cry " for shame.'r A few words more of a Ranyral nature, and we shall leave Mr. D'Camp to his writhinrs. An .effort is being made by certain politicians to create the idea that we have a fancy for indulging in:personal attacks. These who are acquainted with us moat intimately know beat the false hood of ,this imputation. It is no part of our nature to be on unpleasant terms with any person. We always prefer say ing a kind word for a neighbor to a harsh one. Our desire during the four years in which the paper has been un ler our con trol, has been to treat our political oppo. wants with jnatice. to keep en itecal terms with all, and to make no offensivepenion at allusions unless forced to do iso. marked has been our policy in .this rea-, peet, that we are aware of halting in curred the censure of some Political sup porters for what they chargati as timidity and anxiety to court the favor of the other side. How our efforts have been met we leave for all acquainted with Erie county politics to answer. In common with the other members of our party, we have been maligned in every quarter. our sentiments misrepresented and our mo tives impugned, until " forbearance has ceased to be a virtue." The men foremost in this work of detraction are genera* those most yulneiable to attack, and be tray the utmost sensitiveness when treat ed to their own medicines. We now give due notice that the Democrats of the county blunt resolved that an and rhall be put to this system of unjuit and infamous calumny. Those Republican gentlemen who show by their acts that they are fair minded, honorable political antagonists we intend shall always be treated as be comes persons of respectable standing; but the loud-mouthed few, who have b en faremost- in exciting wicked passions among their neighbirs, who originate the falsehoods for political effect, and who villify all, high or low. who do not keep step to their music, may expect in future to have that justica •m9ted out to them which they_refuse to grant to others. ALIMMED. Nearly every Republican exchange we take up, speaks in a nervous tone of . the encroaching election. The Harrisburg Telegraph, of the 21st, says : " Whatever differenees of opinion may exist among the individual members of the party on the question of colored suf frage. they must be reserved, and not al lowed to interfere with the greater issue, of universal freedom which is at stake. Our opinions on the subject of the enfranchise ment of the negro are well known. We believe that justice, sound policy, and the guarantees of the Declaration, alike demand that the ballot 'should be the symbol of freedom, and co •Xt1.1131111/R with it ; but in the present imperrilled condi tion of the country, we think there are other, nuestions more pressing than that." The "other questions more pressing" are simply—tifs spoils I If the people vote to secure these in Republican hands, the question of "enfranchisement to negroes" will soon be settled. A Illitiblican sue— cess in Pennsylvania this fall will embold en that party to advocate negro suffrage outright. not only in the South. but here in the North. Let the issue be pressed home on them from this time on. All who want the government to remain as it has been in the ninety years of its exist ence, a white man's government, must vote the Democratic ticket. The Philadelphia &sin complains bat " there is very little interest evinced in the conduct of the present ofilleptiga." Just wait until election night, and the Democracy will give you principal and interest both. Toe influence of the Erie Gazelle with its party may be seen in the action of the Republican County Convention. kscir six months past that paper has been advocat 'ng negro suffrage, and urging its party to adopt it as a plank of their platform.— Notwithstanding its earnest efforts, the resolutions of the Convention do not say a word on the subject, but; on the contra ry, endorse President Johnion,:wbose pol icy is well known to be antagonistic to the Gazette's 'Views. We are-forced to be lieve one of twuthings--either that the party here does not express its - honest sentiranaa in the county resolutions, or that the Gazette has lost all its former in finance with the Republicans. • Tag platform of the Allegheny county Abolitionists is explicit in favor of giving negroes the right to vote. It asks for them—we quote the exact linguage—"all the "rights of citinnship. including' the dectini fnpteiVs*, on the same terms and to the same extent as the, awry 6 f - twee: Wed to Me white pop& !" It believe ,is hard to that any person there could be so =blush ingly impudent as to stand up !ind con tend that the party is not committed to negro suffrage, and yet the Pittsburg Onsi inercidassures its readers that such is not the case I 131010CRATS ALL 66 TILI TRUTOIL.4.n ' The Graeae was not content with mak ing a base and unprovoked personal at tack on the editor of the OBSIRTEI last week,. but extended ita foul satinet ions to the entire Democratic party of Erie coun ty. For infamous malice and falsehood the following sentence eclipses anything that has ever appeared in even the Har risburg Telegraph or Forney's Preu, which have been heretofore regarded as the in carnation of meanness : He has disgusted all loyal men by the vileness of his course, and his party has gone down, year by year, until it has sunk. en Into the very abyss of contempt, nod until scarcely a man in the county. who is not at heart as vile a traitor as hinue?f, can be found in its ranks. This statement, besides being abase and wilful libel, is as untrue as it is malignant. The Democratic party has not"gone down, year by year," in this county, but bas shown a steady increase, as surprising un• der the circumstances as it was unexpec ted. What do our readers think of the man who, not satisfied with wreaking his im potent malice upon us, accuses the whole Democratic organization with being vile traitors 1 Is he not a base and contempt ible-creature, fully deserving of the por trait we drew of him ? Can fair minded Republicans any longer sustain such a coarse and unscrupulous slanderer ? Here is a direct wholesale charge upon all who vote the Democratic ticket, that they are traitors at heart, and in consequence anx ious to destroy their Government. Many of the men thus assailed are among the best citizens of the county, and have done as much u any to advance its prosperity. Not one of them is excepted—all are vile traitors according to the Erie Gm:die. "Oh for a tongue to curse the slave "-to' his in tolerance and bigotry, who could thus scandalously traduce ore-third of his fel low citizen.. Bad as he is, we could never conceive him to be as great a villein as he has proved himself. His imbecility we could excuse, because it was a matter over Which he had no c;introl,.and more to be pitied than anything else, but to be in ari. dition a sweeping and,recklees slanderer and falsifier is a character which sinks him into utter contempt. CIP74VA INI John Cessna. of Bedfsrli.is the C'tairman of the Republican State Central Catrunit tee. He was formerly a Dsmocrat, but failing ti receive our nomination for Gov ernor in 1863, he turned his coat, covered it with pitch and wool, and is now work ing like a beaver to secure., the success of the principles he once thought all, that was despicable aud dangerous in politics To show his present allies what he tho't in 1861, we copy a resolution offered by him at a meeting in Bedford that year : Resolved, That " the civil war by which our country is distracted is the natural offspring of misguided sectionalietn, en gendered by fanatical agitators. North es well as South. and that the Dsorscratic party have equally opposed the extremists of both sections. and having, at all Limos. zealously contended for Ole administration of the General Government, within- its constitutional limits, that party is in no way responsible for calamities that have resulted from a departure from its doc trines and a disregard.of its warnings and advice. How any men cm deliberately swallow his words, and appear in public after •the operation, as Cessna has done, is one of the wonders in human nature which we have never seen adequately explained.— Will not some one of these cast-away Democrats write a bo3k descriptive of the modus opeiandi and physical and natural effects of the operation ? If it were given some such attractive title as " C3nacinnce• thrown to the Dsgtor the Renegade's Cs reer."--suggestive of its contents—we would warrant it a large sale, and,a lucra tive remuneration to the author. MGR@ SUFPRAGE. The two Pittsburg Abolition pspers,the' (ache and Commercid, are just riew,en gaged in a very spirited controversy to decide the meaning of their State ,lat form. The Vommerctat, which profolisei ba be anti-negro suffrage, probably for pru dential party reasons, urges that the reso lutions to which Hartranft and C impbell are committed do not endorse the new dogma,while the Gazdte, which is a minia ture edition of the Tribune, as loudly pro claims that they do. We must do the lat ter paper the credit to say that it sustains its position very conclusively, as proof of which we quote : The Commercial suggests that we are bla tant for immediate universal negro suffrage and asks where - we find that doctrine in the 'Harrisburg Resolutions ? * * * We refer it therefore to the third of the series already quoted by us—where it is asserted that the rebel States " cannot be safely trust's.' with the political rights they have forfeited by their treason, until they have proved their acceptance of the results of the war by incorporating them in Consti tutional provisions, and securing to all 131 0 11 tbeir borders their ins/fiend/We rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiless " * * * Will the ammerciat inform us if this was not intended to mean'that they should vote ?" Bravo! Mr. Gazette. You have him in a tight spot, from which he cannot escape. Persevere in making him swallow the whole negro or none. Orni of the resolutions passed by the Republican County Conr,ention,reiterating the sentiments of the State platform, de clares that— " The people of the Southern States cannot be sately entrusted with the po litical rights which they have rejected." On the other hand, President Johnson *VI "The people mugr be trusted with rusts owe, government ; and, if trstited, my opinion is that they will act in good faith and restore their former Constitutional re lations with all the other States composing the traion ." Now. which is right, the President or the Abolition politicians ? We prefer to believe Er. Johnson. Tax Boston Commonwealth, the editor of _which vitus one of the Massachusetts Re publican Convention, says, respecting Gen..Butler's.speech before that body:— " All listeners were struck with the coin okbpnete 4.. his views and those of Mr. 'Stnner, and were mere than deligked to 'heir him with, great explicitness• pro- Douses otei Praidera's 'Anne of reconstruction se wire faihcre." SLUMMING Sotorsas.—The eel pollthiani tell us that it is the negro - soldier who saved the Union I This is a eorepliatent.to the white soldier which he wilt apjevointe. ANY time during the fmr years of war it would have been possible for the ne• groes of the South, had they r'sen en masse. to have put an end to fighting, to have crippled hopelessly the Southern cause to have made certain and immediate the restoration of the Federal authority. The negroes of the Sauth did not do so. Their labor supported their masters in the field. They worked on fortifilationa, and, except along the outskirts of the Confederacy, lent no assistance whatever the Union arms. The R►dical+ want to reward this intel• ligent patriotism by elevating the negro to a level with the white. They wish to,, manifest their gratitude for -thin exem plary loyalty by giving them the ballot. Either the Southern negves were capa ble of thus stopping the war, or not. If they were capable, yet did not, what claim to the suffrage have they over the South ern rebels ? If they were not capable of Rich a timely and patriotic use of their physical power, what claim have they to be trusted with the use of political power ? TUR FEDERAL DEBT. In a speech delivered recently at Din caster. Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, the leader of his party in Congress, referring to the National debt and taxation, declared that as to the debt— " There is no use in•belittling it. It can only deceive the ignorant and those only for a time. It eannot deceive fsan ; niers. Osehsif of it now hears interest. and the interest amounts to one hundred and twenty millions per annum. The ordinary expanses of carrying on the,gov erntnent. and the Puma required for the army end navy will swell our nnnual ex nendituree to five hundred millions of dollars. The amount derived from i n t, nal revenue will diminish—TAX ITIONI MINT BE DOURT,E WIT IT NOW NTO MEET EXPE‘NEi nan cur peo ple bear this? h wi" he a curse frost genera tine to generatisn We pity the tsx•croo d Englishman In reality WA are worse off than he Oar deht is only a tr;fl less and it hears double the rate of interest, /n the future our Sur-lens mast be double his." A MALI. VOTE. We would especially'impress upon the mini of every Dsmonrat in the State, says the Lancaster Inteignteer. the acknowledg ed and admitted fact, that all that is needed to insure a glorious triumph for the Democracy at the corning el-ction is the polling of our fall vote. Lot this be done and our majority will be sufficiently• large to crush out of existence in thin State that mongrel political nrganization which derives all its vitality from its close connection with the fanatics and radicals of New England. There are some eighteen hundred election districts in this State, or very nearly that many. The absence of three Democratic voters in each of these would be a lose to us of five thousand four hundred votes. Let every Democrat remember this important fact, and then resolve to see to it that every vote is poll ed. Get' out the full vote and we cannot be beaten. Tag Republican press of Wisconsin are ont in full cry against President John.on,• and the action of their recent State con vention In timidly sustaining his meas ures. Among the papers at hand which take this ground are the.Milwaukie Sent; net, Baraboo Republic, the Monroe Sentinel, the Northwestern, and F•rnd du Lao Cbm• neonwedih. More than two-thirds of the Republican papers in that State are in open revolt against the President's. plan of restoration. The bolting convention at Janesville threatens to be an important body, and may be the initial step to the formation of a national R siical party.

EDITOR :—Some persons have a hab it of making a fuss about small matter. and paying no attention to things of real importance. They have spent tenzner., time and trouble enough on the Perk fence to have managed a Commonwealth And the Park needs nn fence at all, since th e geese have been frightened stray by JimeStew 'Ws frying pan and V trnev's cionnd. They get into a tes - ing passion over the hauling of some gravel into the streets. And of what great importance is it, if a member of the street committee did make the mistake of filling up the highest part of Etta Sixth street,when he should have cut off part of the street and filled pp the Valley of the Creek ? It was an error, but bigger ones have been made scores of times, and will be made again by inexperienced Councils—men elected to a position they have neither age nor experience to fill. But when the trade of the Philadelphia road and the oil regions of Pennsylvania, which belongs to Erie 'city, is about being carried away by a rail road from Corry to Dunkirk, what say they ? Why, if their advice is so impnr taut to Erie and its surroundings, have they never said a word about the immense injury done to Erie city and Erie county_ in Penn's, by the granting of a charter Co the State of New York, to cut. MY the l'e• gitimate trade of Erie by this railroad from Dunkirk to Corry ? Why did these people who put their fingers into every man's business, never once speak of the ble fraud committed, ,by turning the Erie & Meadville road into an Atlantic & Great Western road, to carry every passenger and pound of freight peat Erie, and leave her out in the cold? Why do these men. elected as some of them have been to im portant offices, by Erie citizens, never once mention the loss about to be suffered by Erie, by the railroad chartered from Emporium to Buffalo—by which Erie will be deprived of a fleet of coal vessels to car ry the coal of Penn's from Erie harbor to Buffalo? These persona who arrogate so much, and are forever sputtering about geese and hogs, and old fences, and inter fering with street committees about a load of gravel, say no single word about the loss of millions of money to Erie. by the taking away- of, her trade to Bofftlo and Dunkirk, and by cross route to Mead ville, leaving Este a deserted triangle; roads running South of her and East of her, and all done by Carters of the State of Penn'a. When we send one . big Sen ator and two Representatives to attend to our interests at Harrisburg. and who cart make hie speeches about rebels, soldiers' votes and the ciders of the day, and per mit franchises of untold value to be given to the States of New York and ()hie; which will carry off the trade belonging to Erie and leave her desolate and poor ; they utter no word of warning. or can • sure, or rebuke for the men who could nermit or perpetrate this great wrong to t he citizens by whose vote they were elec ted, and to the State by which thisy were paid. ' 'Why do these wise people, who as be so busy over our gravel, geese, hogs and fences, sound no note of. warning when our prospects e'a being ruined ► , y the abstraction or our business by foreign corporations? Who ie phi these vsl liable franchises which are ruining us Eras no man received s psltry ten or twen ty thousand dollars for pt vileres worth s ? or are we ea stupid nr so honpoit as to give away incalculable advantages for just nothing at all? Why do they praise and puff other linekof travel and contin ually denounce our own ? Why, in short have they always meddled in the affiirs of the city. and never, in one single instance. even by accident or choice, said or done any one thing for the real interests of the city ? And wny do our Senator and repro sentativabusy themselves all winter alvnit all and singular the afftirs of the United States, and the world in general, and leave Erie city and county to be fleeced and plucked by franchises given to foreign corporations ? Is is safe to say that a city more cursed by meddling and-more nee r lerted and injured by those to whom its interests are trusted, does not exist be tween the rising and the setting of the sun. , A NATIVE. TII6 OCTOOKII. ELECTION. Our State electio is . only three weeks distant. The canvass must therefore ne cessarily be short, and from present indi cations it will be a quiet one. There is nothing in this to discouraee the Democ racy. The questions at issue. although imnortant,-are not of an exciting nature. end do not call for any great display of effort in the way of speech-making. mass meetings and the like. The people are simply asked to decide by their votes. whether the Union shall be restored under the Constitution. or whether ifs harmony and integrity shall be destroyed by an unlawful extinction of the separate exist ence of the States lately in rebellion ; and whether the right of self-gnvernment shall continue to be exercised by white free men, or shared with the inferior race of -blacks, by their admission to a voice in nnlitical affairs, through the medium of the ballot-box Upon these questions. fairly presented. there silnuld be no doubt gs to their decision.

WALLACC Chairman: We are gratified to notice the alter ?d tone of this week's-Gr:ette. Instead of the offen sive epithets which hive marked its language for several weeks past, it is as mild as a suck ing dove. Our neighbor has taken a compre hensive view of the " situation," and con cludes he might as well be jolly as feel bad over it. We commend his philosophy, and take the liberty of suggesting that if he hod been actuated by the'same spirit before which he 'now proles' es to entertain, an immense amount of unpleasant feeling wou'd have been avoided on both sides. it is our sincere hope that no necessity will be occasioned by him for a repetition of the incidents of the past two weeks. The sanctimonious airs of "injured innocence " which he puts on Would be pro coking, if they were not so amusing. It is a charac'eristic trait of his class of minds, when they have done others an injury, and are paid back for it, to bawl out lustily about their superior virtue. The public will nut be deceived in this way. Mr. 49,vette. They knot., too well who is responsible for the difficulty, to give you any sympathy, much as you may heg for it.. Our advice to you,in future, is to keep your temper, indulge in no indecent ex pressions, treat your opponents like gentle men, and do in all things as you would be done by. IVe shall then labor to corince you that all the horrid pictures you have chnj 'red up about our lock of professionsl dignity nod "courtesy" are mers vagaries of the fancy. County Fair.
