Those who think that the fire of fanati cism on the negro question ba* been extin guisbed by the acceptance of general eman cipation as a consequence of the war are sad ly mistaken. The booest bat misguided humanitarian has other notions of the desti ny of the negro on this continent, and the political negro monger will not so easily abandon his hold of a question which has been of 6iich marked and esseniial service in helping him to power and place. Chief Justice Chase fancies that be can reach the Presidency by means of agitation on the question of negro equality ; Senator Sumner expects to hold his position in Massachu setts by the same means; and hosts of smaller, not meaner men, iook to this ques tion as the cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night to guide them to the promised land, where milk and honey flow in abun dance, and where greenbacks flutter in eve ry breeze. In our State the pill of negro equality le sugar coated by political doctors before it is prescribed as the ascitic for national ail ments. Xti Minnesota they have given it to the people "plain." And in other States the nrganfc of the Republican party are laboring with great earntesthe** to satisfy the masses that the path to political k'uccesk Heft in ac cepting the negro into full communion in our political partnership. On the first Monday in October, Conocc* | ticut is to vote on an amendment to her State Constitution granting the ballot to the negro ; and the Republican Central Commit tee of '.bat State have issued an address to i the people earnestly urging its adoption —- In noticing this fact, the Now York Tribune esys: We make no doubt that tb grant party of which they are the authorised representative* will rote as a unit in lavor of equal rights. What We witafto urge upon our friends is that they shall go to Work for this amendment with, the sstue enthusiasm And energy a* if it were rn 'election in which the mio oew of their candidates were at stake. We appeal to the sense of justice, and to the fundamental princi ples of democracy, for neither justice nor true de mocracy has any sympathy with the exotkiion Hf a man from his share in the government because of bis skin. Ami we trust, also, that the people of Connecticut irrespective of party, are ready to ad -1 vance with the times. YouDg Minnesota declaring in Union Convention for negro suffrage, is an Exam ple and should be an inspiration to them. Every where on the banner of the party of ttio Union ought to be Inscribed now "Equal Rights for All." This is a full and unreserved endorsement and acceptance of the issue of negro strffr age, and that means negro equality ; for otice make ncgoea the peers of white men dt the polls, and social equality will follow. As slaves to the use of stimulants duawtftutly make progress in the quantity and strength of their potations, so tbe Republican party will each day increase the dose of begroiam upon the people, until society in thie country will exhibit tbe same eigne of disiotregati m as are revoliingly shown in Mexico and oth er lands where the experiment of fasin; an tagonistic races lias been tried. The appeal is made to the people of Connecticut to vance with the limes." Advance whither t The negro is free. In all parts of the lan'd he is free. Thrre are no chains upon him In Connecticut; and now the people are called upon to foree upoo him duties for which be is not fitted. The movement is e part of the plan for continuing the negro agita'ion tor political effhet; and there Will be no cessa' lion In the labors of the Republican party in this direction, until they'are prostrated by the action of a patriotic iad indignant people at the polls, .'n Mr. Horace Greeley has been invited to at tend a convention of uegfoes to be held at Ra leigh. North Carolina, in the latter part of the coining month. Not being able to be present he bea written and pu)>Lutked a letter of ad yice to "my countrymen," from which Ah# following paragraph is extractedi Be patient We may not give a fall recognition of jour right* directly ; but the effbrt will never be q bendoned until it* sueces* 1* assured: And we ate no longer reiirted by a v*at, tenacious pecuniary in terMt—an all but omnipotent ' Tested right " Slavery the tree, whereof negro-hate end white prej udice of oolor are branohei, ha* been cat down. There ia still vitality in the root*, but the branches a'ra bound to wither and decay. Yet this is not tbe work ot adey; and we mast ' learn to labor, and (if need be) to wait. Now tbe point in this extract pertinent to the view we aro presenting ia, that although a full recognition of tbe social and political e quality of the negro cannot be forced at tbe present time, still "the effort will never be a bandoned until its success is assured." They can "wait," but they will never abandon rht great designs of making the negro equal to tbe white man in all paits of the nation, and in all situations. It is thus ma le certain that negro equality is the real issue in the pending contest. In all the Northern States the Republican party are committed to this doctrine; and in the coming Congress they will oppose tho admis •ton of members elected from the Southern States, unless they will accept tne principle of the full equality of all men, white and bla* k , in State organizations. In this man ner tbe process of reorganization is to be dis turbed and tbe agitation coutinued, no mat* ter what the consequence may be to the peace, repose and prosperity of the nation. In one word, tbe Republicans mean to make this ne gro question a prominent one in the next Presidential contest; aod hence they cannot afford to cease agitation now. Bui the people will take a different view of this subject. They will think the Union and the interests of millions of white men of more importance than the idea of negro equality ; and they will put a stop to further agitation by defeat ing the Republican party at tbe polls.— Age. COL. DAVIS AND HIS TRADUCERS. He Squelches Them.. DUYLESTOWN, Pa., EDITORS or THE AGE : My attention has been called to the fol lowing article, published n the Prett , of your city, cf the 15*h insl., viz : The Harrisburg Telegraph says : Colonel W. V. H. Davis, tbe Copperhead candidate lor Auditor General, hav now resumed full charge ol the Duyiesloan Democrat , a news paper which he ht6 owned tor many years, and which berelotore and now sympathizes with the rebel*. Tne peculiar force of tbe Democrat, since Cnlouei Davis hat returned u> preMUn uver us columns, Consists ia as aeritug that the rebels have not been whipped thai tneV should be received back to the Union with all their rignts restored; that slavery is not and never cau be abolished, and that, in justice to the rebels, the debt which they incurred in struggling Tor their 'rights" is as legsl as the debt Which was pilwd on the people by the national authori ties while wagiug a crusade on the people of the South ; and it the national debt is to be paid, so also must the debts of tbe Southern Sunes be liquidated. Mendacity cannot go beyond this. All that is printed above i a stupoudo is LIE from Beginning to end. I never thought, uttered, or advocated such sentiments, nor wers they ever published] in the Democrat, In a late issue of tbe Harrisburg Tel g r aph that paper also charges tne with opposing the amendment to the Constitution giving •oidiers the right to vote. This is as base a LIE as tbe other. At the tune of the elec tion I was at Danville, suffering from a se vere wound, but made it my business to go to D.iylestowu to vote, and voted for the amendment. Tbe Buck* County Intelligent , cer of the 9ih of August, 1864, said: "General John Tavis, of Southampton, and 'his sun, Col. W. W. H. Davis, both voted openly for the amendment. The Duylestown Democrat did not oppose the amendment. The Bucks County INTEL LibEK C'ER, the Republican organ of ibis county, is the only newspaper in Bucks, to my kuo'Wledge, that ever opposed tbe right of soldiers to vote. The following article is from that paper of November 12, 1861, viz: The State law of Pennylvania, providing for the holding i>f elections in military en campments, though doubtless enacted with good motive*, has been productive of great evil ind Contentltfti. Until the October elec tion, there had never been an opportunity of testing its operations Voting was then car ried on in most of the Pennsylvania regi ments at the seat of war, or encamped else where at a distance fr>m home. In many case* the votes were honestly received %nd counted, and the result properly certified and returned to the legal auihornies. In othera, and particularly in the regiments partly oi wholly formed in Philadelphia, the elections were conducted in a tnost shameful and ras cally manuer. Some of the regiments.' re | turns show hundreds of votes for candidates on one ticket, while those of opposite politic* receive few none. Ha the result in the ci\y itself was doubtftri, and the candidates were lively t be elected or defeated by the army vote, there were strong inducements offered for corrupt politicians to practice their villainous arts. Ir now seems probable ' ihat the frfficulues tho* raised wit! have to be settled by the courts, at the oust of great labor and much time. Wv hope the L-glnla ture will prevent such EVIL tq future by the TOTAL ABOLITION OF ELECTIONS IN CAMP. I cannot account for tho malignant hostili ty of the editor of the Hsrriaburg Telegraph toward me, except because my .grand fa'her wa* one of the soldiers that capiured the Hessians at Trenton in 1776. Mr. Bergner Is very lath to forget old grievances. [ W. W*H. Davit. WHY WAS HE NOT PROMOTED We have recently obtained possession of R record highly honoring oar candidate for Au ditor General, Colonel WILLIAM W. H. DAVIS. ft appears that a oumbcr of the friends of Colonel Davis presented his name to the War Department for promotion, and accompanied their recommendation of a brave soldier with an array of testimony as to his capacity and conduct as an officer,of which any man might be proud. The application was in vain how ever, for waa not Colonel Davis a Democrat ? His long, faithful and efficient service, his blood shed in the cause, and his maimed body, all were connted as naught, while such men as Schenck, Banks, &c., were raised to tbe "Stare." IPimporte ! The Democracy of Pennsylvania now present him to the people for promotion—and to the people we present some of the test-monials thai accompanied the fruitless application in bis behalf to tbe War Department. Read ! SILAS CASEY, Brigadier General of Vol unteers, says * "Colonel W. W. H. Davie, 104 th regiment Pennsylvania volunteers, was under my com mand for about nine months, during a major ; part of which period he was in command of a brigade, which he brought to a state ofdisci plire and efficiency. In command of his regi ment on the 3iat of Msy,lß62 t at the battle of 'Seven Pines' he with his men behaved in the most gallant manner." T. SEYMOUJt, Brigadier General of Vol unteers says: "Colonel Davis served with credit during the Mexican war; be was one of the first to step forward in this. As colonel he has con stantly commanded a brigade, and In some of the hardest fought actions of the war. He has everywhere not only acquitted himself with credit, but has acquired the name of a thoroughly capable and efficient brigade com mander, and the confidence of all with whom he has served." J. N. PALMER, Brigadier General of Vol unteer*, says ;' I have served in the same di vision with Col, Davis and know him to be an intelligent and zealous comman der, H.s regiment-was one of the best drill ed and best disciplined volunteer regiments io the 'Army of the Potomac.' " ALFRED 11. TERREY, Brigadier General commanding, says, under date of November 29,1868 • "Col. Davis has commanded a bri gade almost without interruption since the auttlmn 1861. He Commanded a brigade of my division during the movement on James Island in July last, and duri: g a considerable portion of the opcrAtioni on this (MorrisJ Island. He has rende red very efficient sod valuable services and proved himself a most capable and faithful officer." S. C. HUNT, Brigadier General of Yoiun teen, says: ''l take pleasure in bearing wit ness trorn -ny own personal observation to the steady endurance aod gallantry which were displayed by his regiment under his ex ample and guidance during the Peninsular ! campaign, aod especially at the battle of 'Sev en Pines.' Col. Davis' regiment was drawn I up in the advance of Casey's division, and sustained the first shock of the overwhelming rebel force." JOHN PECK, Major General, says : "Col. W. W. U Davis 104 th regiment for some months in my division on the Peninsula. He is a brave and accomplished soldier." ORRIS S. FERRY, Brigadier General,says (May 12. 1863) : "Col. Davis rtceived a mil itary education ; seived with credit in the line and on the staff in the Mexican war raised a company, afterwards a regime.'t aod a six gun battery at the beginning of the pres ent war; organized tbe brigade now comman ded by him to November, 1861, and has been ia command of the same ever since, with the except ion of a few months. He has been twice wounded in action, and everywhere has deported himself as a brave, skillful ene r get ic commander." R. SAXTON,Brigadier General Volunteers write* January 7ih, 1854: "It gives me p'easure to bear witness to the fidelity and efficiency of Col. Davis as an officer. He served for several months under my command in tbe capacity of Bi igadier General to my entire satisfaction." E D KEYES, Major General, writes:— "Col. Davis served in the Fourth corps, uo der my command, a comiderabie time on the Peninsula I had ample opportunity to oh serve his conduct, which at all times was that of a brave , energetic and ai ten rive officer. Moreover, C >l. DAVIS i a gentleman of high character and inielhgence." Major General Q A. GILMORE, under date il November 25. 1863, expressed official ly h<B high appreciation of the zeal, inte'li gence and efficiency which had marked the conduct and service ol Col Davis during the operations against the defences of C>arleston, and fcubsequently on the 26th of February, 1864, made an official recoiuuiendahon of Col.

H. McFarland addressed him on behalf of the visitors: : :: 'HI'. .1' . ' The President, in reply, expressed his sur prise at receiving so Urge s number of gen tlemen from the-- South, He had no ids* that so many persons would eali upon hint when he consented to this interview. Ha could not command language sufficiently to express the deep gratification he felt at the visit and at the patriotic remarks of the speaker who had jSt retired. He apote of his antecedent position before the civil war. He had urged his Southern brethren Jo re main in the Union ami there content?for their Constitutional rights. He felt that it was their only safety nod protection. He had trtweys been for the recognition of alTthe Constitutional rights of the slave-owning States, and believed they eonld have been preserved In the Union, if the Issue had beM made in the forum instead of in the field.— He himself, had been a slave holder, bnt he had made up his mind that if the issue ever narrowed itself down to the question of Un ion or slavery, that slavery must go and the Union be saved. He had confidence in the expression just uttered of devotion to the restoration of the Union, and the profession# of loyalty so generally evidenced, and he wyasßUred that the disposition was to aid in building up the waste places of the South and restoring peace, hsppiness, good will and Union. HE DID NOT BELIEVE THE SENSA TION LETTER WRITERS AND EDITORS WHO WERE ENDEAVORING TO CRE ATE THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE EXISTS IN THE SOUTII DISAFFEC TION AND DISSATISFACTION, FOR THF PRESENCE OF SO MANY EMI NENT AND DISTINGUISHED GENTLE MAN, REPRESENTING SUCH A LARGE CONSTITUENCY FULLY DISPROVED THE FACT, AND GAVE THE LIE TO THEIR PESTILENT AND MALIGNANT UTTERANCES. He had confidence in the professions of the people of the Sooth, and of their purpose to restore the Union upon the principles of the Constitution; and he I hoped and believed they were ready to come | up and rally around the Union and the C'on st i tut ion. The feud that existed wis in a family cle, aod the ties of friendship, now it had ended t he trusted would be stronger and more enduring than ever. The mission of this great people is a high and holy one, and in the Union only oould the purposes uf Iter* people and free government be administered. The President referred to the existing con dition of public affairs, and the gratifying and patriotic evidences presented to him dt an early restoration of fraternity between the different sections of the Union, and the good to follow this peaceful state of affairs ; and in conclusion expressed the hope that men thoroughly loyal wou Id be elected to Congress, in order that the Sooth might be again admitted to the councils of the nation.'' The remarks oftho President were frequent ly interrupted by applause,- and all seemed highly gratified by the interview, '•IDIOTS OR KNAVES." —President Johnson must believe that the number of persons in the North who are either idiots or knaves to be very great. In a speech delivered by bim in the United States Senate in 1859, he said: "The men who del berately and boldly as serts that Thomas Jeff-rson, when he penned 'he sentiments that all men were craatud e* qual; bad the negro in his mind, te eibber-a* idiot or a knave," Z3C Tha following is the resolution voted" down by the Republican State Convention o't Minnesota; Resolved, That we recognize in the efeii and military acta of Andrew Johnson, ee they standout before the world during theiiatkoe* period of the nation's trial, the. fearless- ,pe t riot, the able statesman, the houoet man ; sod that we pledge to his wise and patriotic measures for the restoration of the Union our cordial support. The Abolition party have always been a disunion party, and their professions of love for the Un'on have been a transparent sham a gainst which the Democratic press has ever warned their dupes. They must now show their hand, and Thaddeus Stevens, the rep resentative man of the Abolition party in Pennsylvania, in a speech a few days since at Lancaster, said : '• The VERY EXISTENCE of the Republican party depends upot the rebel States being "ept out of the Union for a while. Their ad nisei.,n W.-CLD RENDER THE SPEEDY T*l - or THE DEMOCRACY INEVITABLE-" MAKE IT FULL —The abolition journals are just now engaged in making up the record of their candidate for Auditor General, Gene ral Hsrfranft. We hope they will make U full. Patt ofit we know consists of the dar mg (?) act of hanging Mrs. Snrratt. This important part should not be overlooked ihem, under any clicumstances. L*t every v< ter cletr'y understand that the election of the Kepnbl'can candidates on the■ platform adopted by the Convention will be an unqualified condemnation of Pres ident Johnson and his policy for rsstossstg I the Union. ,
