We shall publish in onr next issue the
Speech of Hon. Thos. A Hendricks, of Indi

choice of many of our people for' President,

CONGRESS TAKES A RECESS
The motley crowd of unscrupulous politi
cians,,known to law as Congress, and to the
people as the "Rump," instead of adjourn
ing, as is customary, to the first 31ondav in
December, has taken a recess until the 21st
of September—not daring to risk the riek"ety
" Reconstruction" project to stand alone
the Presidential election. Its re-as.
hlin.r in September is made dependent on
the call of a committee, consisting of Senator
Morgan and Representative Sch„tzuk—whieh
will undoubtedly rind smne excu>es fir call
ing it together at the appointed time. When
the subject of adjournment seas disete—ed in
the lions'', Schenck proposed that Congress
should meet again in October, as , igning as a
reason that the Octobe'r elections in Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana might furnish
reasons for Congressional action. He was
shained out of tlds proposal by the sharp
cross-questioning of Democratic members,
who made it difficult for him to tell what
Congress had to do with the October elec
tions in those States. But Schenck had un
warily let the cat out of the hag and disclosed
the real motive for ad autumn session The
Radicals are fully resolved to carry the Pres
idential election by 11)01 meant or fair; and
if the October elections indicate that the
Democratic party is too strong, measures «ill
be taken to prevent the counting of all the
Democratic electoral votcs. C'ongtess will
probahly meet on the 21st Of September with
a thin attendance, and keep the session alive
by adjournments from tinr to time until af
ter ,he October elections. The Republicans
will then be able to form an estimate as, to
how theiltand, and they will stick at no po
politivalsillaihy which may , Cl2lll necessary
to.theirsucceqs.
It is unneces;:ary, in this connection, to re
fer to the many outrageous- acts of the late
session, as they arc still fresh iu the minds of
the people. For the past week or two, Con
gress has been occupied principally with the
disreputable business of swearing in " carpet
baggers" and calling them Representatil es
'Prom the Southern States. In this way an
unprincipled class of Political adventurers,
representing nobody and caring for nothing,
save a raid on the Sergeant-at-Arms for com
pensation audMileage, have been admitted
from North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Abibama, Florida. Louisiana and Arkansas.
They.axe in, by virtue of the lawlcss and
unconstitutional enactments of Nordic' n
Radicals, and the latter deserve all the dis
grace and contempt that the people must
neces , arily feel for any body of on n who
could Ming 'ltch reproach on the Legislative
department of the government. -
AGGVLIFISSION-NOT DEPENCF
We camnit too strongly commend to the

and friends of the cane generally, the fol
lowing extracts from the last address of Hon.
W. A. Wallace, Chairman of the State Cen
tral Committee it teNely and eloquently

THE Tribune dolefully commences an edi
torial tt ith this paragraph
"Too great confidence in the success of
Grant and Colfax we' especially deprecate.
That they will be elected, we do twist hearti

thereupon confine our excitions to shouting

We commend the opinion of their leading

pretend to believe that Grant and Colfax 'IN ill
have an easy victory.
VALLANDINGIIIII has v, rittcn letter
explaining the reason:, N% hid! induec,l the
Ohi,. &legation to pros Gov. Seymour's
nomination, and denying the charge of trick
ery upon the part of the latter. He says :
"As to the manner in which the rrnina
tion was partly brought about and partly
happened, It is not proper that anything be
said further, except that positively Governor
Seymour had no knowledge or intiination of
the movement till'twenty minutes previous
to his nomination, and acted in good filth
throughout, and, moreover, will go into the
Presidential office without a single pledge or
promise of any kind made to any One preci
ous to his nomination."
Tus lleorgia Legislatureitas disappointed
the Radicals quite as badly as the neg Toes of
Missis,ippi did at the election last month.
Although that body has been claimed to have
majority in their favor, on Tuesday it went
to work and cooly. elected Joshua Hill and
H. V. 31. Miller, both Democrat; and unde
viating Union men, to , the U. S. Senate.
"'Tie pity, but pity 'tie, true."
THE next regular statement of the,condi

the first of the current month. This is a con

THE CAVSE-OF HARD TIMES.
Two years ago the Union was complete.
Every State in the Union, North and Saudi,
was in harmony with the Constitution. The
rebellion was ctustied-.-slavcry m abol

to this, there has been vonfusion i trouble and
-distress. congress did IN hat the rebel army
failed to do—it broke up the Union.
' What has been the ro..ult ? The ten 'no
elnein,g and exporting States have been in a
state of cltoas. They have been starving
while they'ought to have been growing rich
and prosperous—while they ought to have
sold cotton enough abroad to pay for surplus
goods that are now weighing down our man
ufacturers and merchants. They ought to
have aided largely in paying the National
debt. Instead of that, Congress, through
Freedmen's Bureaus, has been issuing mil
lions of rations ta , the South, and spending
two hundred millions of dollars in various
ways to "reconstruct - States which its laws
have destroyed. Its object has been to keep
up,armies at the South, and to change the
character of our Government. This work
has cost 41,200,000,000 a year. Place $600,-
000,000, the amount improperly wrung front
tax payers and laborers the past three years
back into the pockets of those ts ho have paid
that money; and it would . greatly relieve
.present distress.
It was impossible for these measures of
despotism to be extended over the South
without also inflietin. injury and distress
upon the North. Had the States of the
South been permitted to go as they were two
years ago, with slavery extingubshett and
secession destroyed ; had nut the foundation ,
of society been broken up and confidence
ruined, by despotic decrees and military poi
sessiiin, to secure negro predominance over
the white race, there would have been pros
perity there antl here to-day, instead of bank
rupey and distress.
It hag cost the North six hundred million,
of dollari, since the war, to crush out the
white race 'of the South, anti hring the ne

DRIVEN TO THE WALL
Tine protuptnes:s with mill, It the" Demo
' ci.ttie pre-.; has refuted all Ii eAlumnies of
I the Ibuliells, has obliged ti m 1,, drop the
'record of Ger. Seymour in_ emotretion with
the New Ymrk riots, as a weipi n or warfare.
It is a boomerang, wli kit reacts inconvenient
ly. llene:2 the New York Times says of. the
"my friends" ',pee ~11, of which so many lies
and so much unconscionable drivel have
been spoitea . - Its import bas always been

neither complicity tt id' the rioters nor ap
proval of theirelairse. - This is what every
intelligent and lioneq matt has kp.owtt from
the beginning, tel nuts the (ALUM rent, on
our opponents of hat big attempted to defeat
Gov. Seymour a slander, and of haying
miscrablyfitiled in the attempt.
In this * con nectinn we notice the remark
with regard to Gov. Seymour made by the
Radical lietttenana Governor of New York,
Mr. Woodford, in a speech a few evenings
since in Brooklyn. "I make 00 attack," said
Mr. Wo.idford, "upon Governor Seymour as
a man. Most courteous and gentle in his
manners, cultivated in mind, and persuasive
in eloquence, his character is without spot or
blemish."
Will the Ilsdieal press now oblige us by
paving a little attention to the real issues of
principle involved in this campaign ? Leav
ing "my friends," and "copperheads," and
'rebel sympathizers"_ aside for the moment,
will they give us their views as to the man
ner in which this country is to be relieved of
the burdens which weigh on its prosperity?
Will they tell us how peace and the suprem
acy of law are to be restored in the South,
and how taxation is to be reduced and equal
ized for the whole country ? Will they ex
plain to us, finally, how, by the perpetuation
of Radical power, the country can expect to
escape from the rule of wrong and unsurpa
'Von andcorruption which has oppressed it for
the past three years?
A tu.k_xur; of 36,000 votes in 1864 would
have elected General McClellan President.
This change was required in the States of
Connecticut, Indiana, Maryland, New York,
Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsyl
vania and Rhode Island, or au average of
four thousand votes in a State. Since that
time the States of Connecticut, Maryland,
Oregon, Pennsylvania and New York have
become Democratic, and Indiana and Neva
da will be at the next election. The Dera6-
crats have therefore the game in their own
hands. They go into the contest to win and
Will win in spite of all opposition.

admit that the I lovernmont i; plundered in

it- 2 ; Party ; that the reconstrurtion fitruttl, is
11111•4 mslitutional-; that the ordinary expen.es
of the Government are double what they
'tight to be ; and that, in state as well as in
National legislation, corruption is the rule
and not the exception.
The Democratic party eharge3 that Radical
corruption has endangered the safety of the
Government, and the newspapers of the rub
itig party admit this charge to be true. Not
long ago, Governor Seymour made a- speech
in the Cooper Institute, in which he made
La terrible arraignment of the party in Toner.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican said the
t lovernor told the truth ; and that the abuses
and corruptions of Willa! - he complained
must cease, or the party must go down.
The Democratic party is resolved to carry
out retrenchment in the expenditures of the
Government, :mil refOrm in the collection 0f
its revenue , With a proper - redaction of
the army and navy, the abolitiooof the
Freo.iman's Bureau, the dismis.sal of it legion

SENATI: UnAmnr.!:, June 22, 1863.
DE tn. 81.1t7 I have your letter of the 18th in
reference fo the eligibility of a colored man to
Congress. I know of no around on which
In , could be exclutleil front his seat, if duly
eluted: and 1 slio,d4 woc.nic the election
of a competent repro: mtative of the colored
r.,«• to either lioo,e of Congress as a final
tll.llMpit of the cause of equal rights.- Until
lid,: step is taken, our success i, incomplete.
Vodrs truly, CILIS. SUMNER.
It will he holed that Mr. Sumner alleges
that he is willing to " welcome the election
of a competent representative of the colored
rare to either House of Congress," a inagnan- .
itnity which is only paralleled by Artemus
Ward's willingness to sacrifice all his wife's
relations in the late war to suppress the re
bellion for the welcome is limited to the
election of a competent colored man, whilC
his credentials, both in respect of color and
competency, as Mr. Sumner well knows,
would stand a very pour chance of accept
ance by a compittee of either House. No
one will believe that Sumner is sincere till
he writes a letier of the same purport to the
next Legislathre of Ma,sachusetts,
that body to elect it negro in the place of
Charles Sumner, whose term as United States
Senator (spire, ll•trch t, 3Sfi9. Tim tires
etn.e in the Sr•a•ttc of a ncg,to front Massa
chusetts would be quite as " powerful" us
that of it , netrro from South Carolina. If
Stunner is really anxious to see a negro Sen
ator, he Ix ill lose no time in urging trite elec
tion of a "Named sulistitute" to his own
seat.
Toy. Dermwralle papers are in great straits
m. ;Ind i , ut is,ime may of attacking' - Unita.
They eannot deny th.tt he led our armies to

deny his immense services to the country ;
they :moot deny his executive and practi
cal ;:enias; they cannot deny' his personal or
integrity. And so they have got up
a \ ariety tit expedients—some pitiful, some
villainous. Thus the World has been wri

about his name, and latterly it has resorted

The most improbable stories are being put

but they are, atter all, only confessions of
weakness. The Democratic party can laugh
at these weak inventions of the enemy. The
pr&s campaign will be one of intenst ac
tivity. In every election district the real is

by the press, and the people arc ready and
anxious to hear and read. The hard com

lieving that an intelligent disposition to

Tim St. Louis Times announces the names

vs: 'Riley, 3P. P. Smith 112. lk, was then
entitled to tote, unless disqualiffed by the
act of Assembly of June 4,1806. : The first
section of this act enact , that in all elections
it shall be unlawful for the judge or inspec
t6rs of the election to reeelve any ballot or
ballots from any person or persons em
braced in the provisions, and subject to the
dkabdities imposed by ie act of Congress of
March 3, 1803, and that it shall be unlawful
for any such person or persons to offer to
vote. "The second and third sections impose
penalties upon election officers for receiving
such votes, and upon those disqualified, as
affiresaid, for voting or offering to vote. The
filth and sixth sections prescribe what shall
he the evidence of desertion and consequent
disqualification, declaring it to be not the
record of conviction and sentence, but certi
fied copies of rolls and records, containing
official evidence of the fact of the desertion
of all per.ons who wefe citizens of the Com
monwealth, and who were deprived of citi
zenship and disqualified by the said act of
Congress. The act thus denies the rights of
an elector to all who, tinder the act of Con
•gress, have been registered as deserters from
the military service of the United States, even
though they have not been tried, convicted
and ,enteneed for the offence. It attempts
to disfranchise those who arc enfranchised
by the fundamental raw of 11Th Common
wealth, audit enacts what shall be the evi
dence of disfranchisement. It is not, it does
not profess to be, a regulation of the mode of
exercise of the right to an elective franchise..
It is a deprivation of the right itself. Ow
then, the Legislature tithe away from an
elector his right to vote, while he possesses
all the qualifications required by the Qmsti-
Union ? This is the question now before us.
When a citizen goes to the polls on an elecs
tipn day, with the Constitution in his hand,
and presentsdt as giving him a right to vote,
On he be told : "True, you have- every
qualification that instrument requires. It
declares yffit entitled to the right of an
elector, but nu net of Assembly forbids your
vote, and thereffire it cannot be, received 1"
If, so, the legislative power is superior to the
1 organic law of the State, and the Legislature,
1,..1„4,1,,1 of being tonne-Ilea by it, may moeld
the Consffiumin at their pleasure. Such is
1 not the law. A riff.lit conferred by the Con

w e n ;t , mukr the, pre,ent. 1 m amination,
how{ ter, it N%ill be • found to have little
weight. The Constitution of 177 d ordained
that every freeman of the full age of twen
tv-one years, having retdded in this State for
lime spare of one whole ye.tr next berore the
day of eleetioh tbr Itepre,entatives, and paid
piiblie taxi.; duriut that time, should enjoy
the right of an elector.' It also declared
that an elector who slit told rest ive any gift or
reward for his vote, in meat, drink, ninnies
or otherwise, should forfeit his right to elect
for that time, and suffer such other penalty
ai future laws should direct. • On the first of
11 an act was passed requiring elec
tors to take the oath of allegiance. But the
history of the time shows us that this act was
strenuously resisted as unwarranted by the
Constitution, mal.within a very brief period
it nas swept-awae from the statute book-
The Constitution of 1790 followed. It left
mit the provision of that of 1776 respecting
15ribery. But in 1799 an act of Assembly
was passed enacting the omitted provision
iii the words used in 1776. Disfranchise
ment under it was never enforced, so far as I
know; and it.conl4 hardly have been, for
the offence was not complete until the vote
vos given. Since the Constitution of 1838
was adopted, the general election law, passed
in 1839, enacted that the votes of persons
Who wagered on the result of any election
Shall be rejected, . None of these acts of As
sembly-have ever been sanctioned by judicial
decision, and they are of little value in deter
4ninin,g what the Constitution means. Uni
forni legislative practice might aid us in n
case of doubt, but there has been no such
practice ; anti the provisions of the l`cmslitu
lion any too plain to be disregardeJ. ,We
_hold, therefore, that the act of Assembly of
Time 3, 1866, could not disfranchise thd
plaintiff, and that it did not justify the de
fendants in refusing his vote.. According to
the agreement of the parties hrthe case sta
ted, judgment should have been given for
the plaintiff.
Judgment reversed, and judgment entered
on the case stated, for the plaintiff, for one
dollar.
THE London journals used to predict the

Ttm St. Louis Democrat, in noticing the
arrival of General Grant in that city, says,
"it is his wish to escape altogether for a time
from the weariness and care of public affairs,
and to enjoy a season of relaxation with his
family." it is not the intention of the peo
ple to increase the amount of public affairs
entrusted to the care of General Grant and
Id ,- season of "relaxation" will be -materi
ally lengthened aft6r the November election.
TUE New York Round Table, a literary
journal with Republican tendencies, makes
the following admission: •
"If we closely compare and weigh the two
present candidates, Grant and Seymour, and
are able to consider their merits apart front
political bias, it is impossible - to deny that
the latter, by natural intellectual powers, by
education, by social culture, hy'experience of
public affairs; is infinitely the titter man of
the two to be President of the United States.
THAD. STEVE Ng predicted that if Impeach
ment failed, the Radical candidate for Presi
dent would ho Nuominiouslylicaten nt the
election ; and John. W. 'orney, in
one of his '!Occasional" letters to the
declared that unless Andrew Johnson was
rembved, the Radicals would not carry six
States.. We believe the predictions of Ste
vens and I•'orney will conic true, not solely
because impeachment has failed, but be
cause the people are sick and tired of Radi
cal rule.
Ton Radical newspapers generally appear
to think their readers have no sense, and
that it is only necessary to abuse the Demo
cratic candidates... Thurlow Weed, the
shrewdest Republican politician in the coun
try, entertains a very different opinion. Ile
says. in the New York Commercial:
"Govtmor'Seymour is not to be beaten by
being called a copperhead, or Frank Blair to
be distanced In the race because he is called
a revolutionist. Ridicule Seymour as some
Republican journals may, he is the most pop
ular man in the Democratic party."
Tut.: New York Sun, a leading independent
. paper of New York, speaking of the shame
less lies now being circulated by Radical
journals in regard to Horatio Seymour, is
forced to caution them that their falsehoods
will be all exploded to the great ultimate
damage of their party. It says :
"We trust that in .common fairness they
will not attempt to conceal the fact that dur
ing the same period-,Governor Seymour
promptly furnished all the troops 'balled for
from the State of New York, and even re
ceived the special thanks of President Lin
coln for this timely aid, and for the cordial
feeling manifested in his communications to
_the National Government.'.'
No wonder the N. Y. Tribune is in such a
rage. Its party have forced upon it a candi
date who in the opinion of its editof-ih-chief,
is bound to be beaten. Greeley-, in the Tri
bune of November 7,1667, thus discoursed
concerning the proposed nomination of
Grant:
"The war 'being over, we can no longer
carry elections by reading - bulletins of Union
victories and exhorting the people to 'rally
round the Plug.' And those pushing Gen.
Grant for President will land where the
Whigs di.l with Scott in 185'2, if they are al
lowed to have their own way. They utterly
inktahe the time of day."
Tim Pitt'.burgh Post i•ays : "We have it
from undoubted authority that the hands hi
one of our I.trgest iron mannliteturingystab
lishments, numbering between four and five
hundred nwm have determined to vote
against Grant and the bondltiilders this fall.
Heretofore, there have been but few Demo
cratic t 'voters among them, and whenever
Pittsburgh had a Republican demonstration,
the men and teams of said establishment
took an active and prominent part. The
workingmen art , getting their eyes open.
They can't sec the justice of toiling from
year to year, receive their pay in greenbacks
and pay all the taNes, in order that Wild
hoick-Ts who are not taxed, may be paid in
gold:'
. .
AN exchange says : A gentleman from
Illinois infitrined us the (Alter day that after
the Chicago Vonvention hi inquired of one
of the principal dealers in Grant medals in
Chicago how those tokas were selling.
W
"ell, sir" replied the dealer, himself a
/
Radical, ',`either General ;rant has no friend , :
or they are all the—Cl(lest set of friends
p 4
I ever saw. These meda don't sell at all.
Nobody wants them. Yo can't give them
,I,t
away. I thought I should tpe r
m unable to sup
ply the demand, v
, but as yOu'e, I have near
ly the whole of lily stock on hand, and the
probabilities are that I shall continue to have
them': Such is Grant's popularity. Iles
anybody seen a Grunt medal, or heard a
spontaneous cheer given for hint? We.ll:llNe
for a reply.
Tan New York correspondent of the
Louisville Democrat has had an interview
with Judge Chase, who is thus leported :
"As to the resultin November next, he
fully expresses his conviction that the
chances are decidedly in favor or the Delm
er:lir nominees—provided there is noeheat
inLr round the bo.u•d. The Edmunds Bill
regulating the Southern electoral votes, lie
looks upon as a foreshadowing of tinitplay,
and the Democrats are advised to keep their
eyei on it accordingly. Blair's letter he says,
is simply up to the exigencies of the times.
Ile sees nothing revolutionary in it. On the
contrary, he is.inclined 'to think that it aims
to stop the revolution, which the admission
of carpet-bag Senators is undoubtedly work
ing in our form of government."
Timm is what the Milwaukee Wisconsin,
a strong Radical paper, says of Governor
Seymour :
"The nomination of Seymour, under the
circumstances, is the strongest one that could
have been made. He is a gentleman in his
address, most popular and winning in his
ways, and has secured thousands - of warm
friends by his personal attractions. In truth
be Is a winsome man, and may be considered
as respectable a representative of the modern
Democratic party as could be obtained in the
present exigency.- Personally we have
known Mr. Seymour for many yours. In our
early life we saw him almost daily, and we
have nurtured a strong esteem fo r his . genial
and gentlemanly qualities, and fi ir the credi
table Manner in which he appears in all pub
lic positions."
Tan following paragraph front the Macon
[Ga.] Telegraph shows that the Democrats
of the South have resolved to "mal . .e a virtue
of necessity," and get the best they can out
of it.- Negro suffrage being fastened upon
them in a manner-which they, cannot resist,
they are going actively to work to turn it in
the right direction :
"Hundreds of colored voters were • the
Seymour and Blair procession, in Macoklast
Wednesday night, and thousands 'nwre
cheered it on with tight good will. The
talk about "a conflict of races" is all stutf.
The Democrats in this canvass arc going to
illustrate not a conflict, but a co-operation of
races. We mean that somewhere between
four-fifths and nine-tenths (1 the Georgia ne
groes shall vote with us, and by our side, in
this election;
,and we mean in this to do not
the slightest violence to time negro's inclina
tion. He shall vote'as he,• chooses, and he
shall vote for his own best interests and hap
piness. We notify all carpet-baggers and ad
venturers at home and abroad that we intend
to try conclusions with them on this point,
and help themselves if thily can. The vote
of Georgia this fall shall be nigher a unit
than it ever was before. *The Radicals shall
get enough of "manhood suffrage" in Geor
gia to satisfy them for four yearg at Nut"
MAY; easily 'Radicalism can he beaten at
the West, where its real strength is, if any
where, is shown by the thoroughly fright
ened Cleveland, Ohio, Lcader, which says:
"The State of Ohio was carried lot the Re
publican party, last fall, by less than three
thousand Majority. A change of one vote to
the Democracy from the Republicans in each
ward and township of the State would wipe
out that majority and give the State to the
Democracy. Let Ohio Republicans ponder
this. Let them consider that they are as yet
by no means out of the wilderness."
TitE Morning Post, olio of Philadelphia's
most enterprising Radical sheets, gives up the
.fight in the following strain:
"The national prestige of Grant :ind Col
fax, the'soundncss and equity of Republican
principles, the political speeches of eminent
statesmen, and public processions; and
weekly meetings, will not alone be sufficient
to carry Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio."
If those influences will not• carry thoie
States for the Radical ticket, what in the
name of all that is reasonable will !
THE ;New York Times tliep.) is getting
out of patience with Congress. It appreciates
the fact that "the time is past when gong
beating, and much shouting, and fierce gesti
culation will enable the party to achieve
great victories." It tells Mr. Butler and
others that "such tactics served well some
time ago," but that the "Republican party
must make up its mind to an entirely differ
ent mode ,of carrying on the present
canvass."
Hor. SAMUEL J. RANDALI„ in accepting
the Democratic nomination for Congress in
the Pennsylvania First District, said that he
had as perfect and entire- confidence in the
election of a Conservative President as he
had in anything that is to occur in the
future.
"Ills the representative from your county
arrived yet ?" inquired a federal officer of a
gentleman breakfasting at an Atlanta, Geor
gia Hotel, a few mornings since. "Wait,"
replied the gentleman, "until I get through
my breakfast and I will go to the kitchen and
inquire."
THE Democratic party is now thoroughly
united, and is daily, nay hourly, receiving
accessions from the moderate men of the "Re
publican" party. The day of our salvation is
at hand. Only let' Democrats work with a
will and success is certain. • .
GRANT when be was nominated at Chica
go, didn't! answer much, and the people arc
likely to conclude, long before November,
that he won't answer at all. -
GEN. GRANT will be as thoroughly tanned
in November as he would ever have been if
he had fallen into one of his own vats.
