During the rebellion my whole heart and soul were enlisted in the first eff.irs toward its suppression; and now that it i supprtesed, 1 feel it a pleasant duty to ext tend to our repentant Southern brethren the right hand of fellowship. Generous magnanimity toward a fallen foe is charac teristic of brave men. and this principle is eminently shown in the sentiments so warm ly and frequetilly expressed lately by the brave men who participate 1 iu subduing the rebellion. Trusting that the convention, by its wis dom, moderation, and patriotism, may strengthen the hands of the Government in its efforts towards reconstruction and conciliation, and inset the views and s:p port of all patriotic cit zens, especially of those who served in the army and navy •luring the rebellion, I remain very truly yours, John L. WOKDKN, Captain United States Navy. A SHORT DIALOGUE. A Jaeobin Di-union spouter was declaim ing, the other dav, in very vehement teim , about rebels and the rebellion ; and in the course of his remarks declared he would never consent that Southern men, who had tiied to destroy the Union, should not be allowed to Vote. A conservative Demo crat, who was pr sent, asked permission to put a few questions to Mr. Jaconin, to which the latter assented. The dialogue then proceeded as follows: D nioerat —Did I understand you to say that you would never consent to let the Southern people vote ? Jacobin —lso sa d and I will stand bv that position, all the time." Democrat—But would you tax the peo ple ilo'.vu there, wliiie denying.thern repre sentation ? J ic din —\es; they tried to deslroy the Union and should never be permitted to vote in the Union Let them show their repent, nee by adopting the Constitutional amendments proposed hy Congress. Democrat -But as I understand it, if they adopt the Constitutional amendments, thi v am then to be allowed the privilege of voting ? Jacobin—Yes ; and that is all Tight. D-nio -iat Well, will tin y not be the same men, alter the Constitutional amend ment is adopted, that they were before ? Jacobin—Of course they will. Democrat—Very well, then ; I now un derstand your position. You are opposed to allowing the Southern men to vote in the I 1 ion, because they have been rebels ; but if th -y will adopt the pat tiz in amend ments propo-ed 1\ Congress.you arc willing to allow tlit*in to vote, notwithstanding tliev have bee', rebels. So, as a m itter of fact, if is not because (hev had b"en rebels that wu deny them the right toto vote; but because, they will not adopt the proposed Constitutional amendments. Jacobin— Il'ell, that is a view of the sub j -cT that never struck ro before, and I must think more about it. " I)> rnocrat—Do you really wish the Un ion restored ? Jacobin—l do, indeed. 1) in<>o at—Well, how can it be restored unless you allow the penpl • of the South all the rights of citizenship ? Tlicy cannot bo in the Union anil out of it at the s me time. If we deny them the privileges secured bv t lie Constitution, how can we demand that tliev shall render allegiance to the Consti tution ? If they are in the Union, tliev must be allowed all the rights wh'cli the Consti tution and the Ufiion secure ; if thev are out of the Union, "they are to us as a foreign and an alien people. • Jacobin—There is, I mnst confess, much force in what von say. Though I have called myseff a Radical Republican, I still am a friend of mv country; and if I find I am wrong, I am not afraid to correct mv error ; and there are a good many Repnbli cans who feel as I do, though some are, 1 am afraid, a lit tie unreasonable. lam glad we hive had this conversation, for it has suggested to me some new thoughts. Good day, neighbor. • Democrat—Good day. Democrat as he walks off, soliloquizes, "I don't believe that man wdl vote the Jacobin ticket. S>une tlrng is up when Republicans begin to talk as he does." . f, Senator Wilson says the earth was Hfii-d a thousand ieaguns nearer heaveir when slavery was abtdished. Itus ' a pity fi\r him that he didn't ride with it. for he would have got nearer the "better land" than he will ever get again. fjgF For five vears the Jacobins boldly putclaimed that any opposition to the Pres id'*nt was disloyalty." At present, they be lieve that everybody is "disloyal" who don't denounce him. The negro Fred. Douglas, and The odore Tilton, editor of the New York /" depestdent , walked aim inarm in the Phila d Iphia disunion parade, and were cheered by the radicals. What white mechanic or laboring man would Mr. Tilton associate with en such familiar terms? Geary's central organ has never yet pub lished one -of his speeches. Why don't & "" ••••'* York speech, as printed in it copy . ' '' let the Forty's it nf raiston, Mr. McGinniss,of Chicago and two ladies, all of whom are members of the President's party, who were in my roont at the time Gen. Grant also wit nessed them from another window, and in formed the President of what he had seen, a few moments after it transpired. After the President returned his room, facing the balcony, the crowd again assembled in front, when another disturbance arose, — 1 was standing with the President in his room, when 1 heard two or three shots fired; I looked out of the Window just in time to see a man fire a pistol at, another standing near him. The wounded man fell and was soon after picked up and car ried into a drug-store on the lower floor. No more shots were fired. Gen, Grant, after twice appea ing on the balcony and •requesting the crowd to disperse and go home, induced respectable persons to do so. About 100 or more of the roughs and thugs of the city, and who probably began at d upheld the not, remained in front of the hotel, indulging in vije epi hets until a late hour. To use the word of S-cietarv Seward on that occasion, the loyal inhabit ants had retired to their horses, while the disloyal remained in the street. G. A. CUSTER. The undersigned,eye witness of the riot at Indianapolis on the evening of Sept. 10, do hereby bear unqualified testimony to the accurate end truthful description thereof contained in the foregoing letter of Major -7" T'STEO. R.SPOFFQRI). W JNO. MCGINNIS, Jr. • TBRMS, S2.QO FUR ASfSTDK THE ELECTIONS IN 1866—PAST AND TO COME, Those who have paid much attention to the ebbs tind flows of public sentiment, as exhibited in popular elections, have al ways remarked the affinity between the diff rent States and observed that the first results in the beginning of a year are gen erally good indications of those that are to come. Ever since 1840 this peculiaiity has been the distinguishing feature of our political campaigns. In fact, the elections that commence badly for a party keep growing worse and progress in that direction to the end of the year is a sort of geometrical progression. It is in yiew of this fact that we have every thing to encourage us in the aspect of the tiroes. The first important election was in Connecticut. The Jacobins.there, from having a majority of 10,000, were down to 600, and it was only by the most tremendous exortions that they were saved from titter defeat. Then Come Oregon and Nebraska, where here were the closest contents, and in each of which the Jacobin majority was re" duced almost to zero. Kentucky was next on the list. In 18C5 she wes about a tie between the parties, but this year she goes 40,000 Democratic. This glo-ious result is responded to by a Democratic triumph in the distant Territory of Colorado, whose settlers have recently met there fn>m all States. Democrats may rest assured that it is no accident that causes this series of Dem ocratic victories and gains. Neither is it owing to local causes, for they would not be likely to happen in so m any and differ ent parts of the country. They are caused by a wide spread of dissatisfaction with the course of the Jacobin majority in Coa gress. This dissatisfaction will be more strong!) marked and developed in the eh ctioiis yet to come off. In all the gieat States thp Jacobins will lose in the same, if not greater ratio than they have in Con necticut, Oregon, Nebraska, Colorado and Kentucky, fu all ot them they will be beaten. The hand writing is on the wall. The people of Kentucky and Colorado have changed no more than will the men of the Ohio, Indiana, U'inois, Pennsylva nia and New York. The Democratic col uinn, assisted by its conservative allies and other parties, is inarching resistlessly to victory. ORGANIZE. The first duty of the Democracy at the present time, says an Exchange is organiza tion. .Victory will not come tor the a?king. Wo must labor for it, we must organize tor it. It will per/eh.upon onr banners at the end of the present contest, if we me vigor 011 sly and per>everingly the appliance of triumph. Our opponents are roused to frenzy at the idea of being displaced from the positions of which they have made such profitable nieieUandize. They will put forth every, effort to overwhelm the Wcsideii't policy, and to carry their meas ures of consolidation, confiscation, disunion and tt e demai of all civil rights to the stat S anil the men recently iu rebeLion. We must organize, we repeat, if we ex pect success. We must meet tlie great questions of the day on the arena of diseus stou. We must extend the circulation of Democratic newspapers. H'e must ibrtu Democratic clubs iu every township, village and school district throughout the land.— The engines we must use are the press and the slump, and we must use these with a power, a perseverance, and an energy never equalled by us iu any previous cam paign. Our caqet: demands it, an imper iled constitution demands it, an uurestor ed Union di man Js it, and the rights oflbe Stales demand it. Organize! ORGANIZE!! ORGANIZE!!! JACISON AND JOHNSON. —The Philadel phia Age. under the head of "Strauge Co incidences*' furnishes the following facts in the lives of the two Tennessee Presi dents's "Andrew Jackson was bora in North Carolina, emigrated to Tennessee, and was elected President of the United Slates. - During his Administration the oppoMtion"* were wonderfully exercised because he dared to remove men from otfiee who opposed the Government. Andrew Johnson was also born in North Carolina, emigrated to Tenn essee, and is now President of the United btates. The opposition are just now won derfully exercised about his removing men irom office who arte now opposed to 'the Government.' " Philadelphia was the only city in the Utiiori whfose municipal authorities refused to extend hospitalities to General Jackson on his visit to the West, and Philadelphia is the only city whose municipal authorities refused to exteud hospitalities to Andrew Johnsbn on Ais v isit to the West. But the people of Philadelphia turned out en muSse to welcome Andrew Jackson, and by a de cided Vote at the polls sternTy rebuked the mun •. -j : By resolution the Brown low-Geary con vention thanked Theodore Tilton, Fred Douglass and Miss Anna Dickinson fpr speeches upoa "manhpod suffrage." ■it fciUAIS thl.q*.. VOL. 6 NO. 8. An Intended Fraud tbat Will Fall, The following is from the Pittsburg Commercial , a Geary organ: '•J W. Porney, and other Radical lead ers in Pennsylvania have procured from the War Department a list of deserters from the army during the war, from that State numbering STXTY THOUSAND, AND PROPOSE TO CHALLENGE SUCH OF THEM AS SHALL OFFER TO TOTE THE CONSERVATIVE TICKET, and prevent their exercising the elective franchise." Observe. Of these sixty thousand, they propose to challenge ONLT those who •shall offer to vote the Conservative ticket'* —that is for Clymer end the Democratic nominees. All other?, of course, are to be allowed to vote—provided they cast their votes for Geary. If deserters have no right to vote they will be committing a fiaud in permitting deserters to vote for Geary. The above is a clear confession that the Disuriionists intend sillier to un justly deprive men ot their votes, or to commit fraud by accepting illegal votes for Geary. They are certainly capable of do ing either or both. But how comes it there are SI±TY THOU SAND deserters—more than ONB IS SIX of all the Pennsylvania soldiers in service, during the war ? Because ALL THE ER RORS AND BLUNDERS OF FRY'S CORRUPT PROVOST MARSHAL BUREAU HAVE BEEN HUNTED UP; and because at LEAST THIRTY THOUSAND NAMES OF DEMOCRATS AND CON SERVATIVE REPUBLICANS, who were never in service ; never drafted ; who w eerff f un der and over age, and otherwise not liable to draft or service HAVE BEEN ADDED by the Geary managers - m order to OB STRUCT and EMBARRASS and try to DEPRIVE THEM OF THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE! But this whole scheme is a deliberate fraud. There is now no legal way to de prive an alleged deserter, or even a deser ter, of his vote,' The act to disfranchise ! deserters has been decided by the Supreme Court to be unconstitutional, null and void. Therefore pay no regard to their HUM BUG LIST, and insist upon and secure for every man qualified under the Consti tution and Election Laws of the Common wealth the inalienable right to vote. Those lists are more waste paper, and every elec tion officer, who rejects a deserter's vote will be liable to be arrested anil fined, and al>o to be punished in damages and costs ia a civil suit; and every judge or inspector who dares to violate his oath and .reject sucli votes, must be prosecuted and pun ished to the full extent of the law.

"/ The Pittsburg, Penn., Gazette (Rad) declares, with a tear in each eye, that "it is no longer a secret that in Pennsylvania the C Conservatives are co operating as ab solutely with the Democrats as in New York."

We know nothing wicked in worshipping him, for he is not made in the image of anything in Heaven, on earth or iu hell. In feature, form, ideas, sentH ment and aspirations he is unlike anytbiag . the world ever saw.

It is supposed that it will consist of,i crash. * towel with crossed razor strops worked in wool, surmounted by the raotto—"Nety Orleans, July 30 —a clean shave." The New York correspondent of thfe d Philadelphia Ledger says: "Rev. - Ptecher's letter in support of the Presi dent's policy is making a greftt noise, and it is more than probable it will lead to a rupture in Plymouth church of a very serU * ous character." ... , , , r.l: t Washington was once interrogated by b?fc fiicnds, after he had voted at an las to whom he had voted for.
