white

people as well ad of all the

negroes, that ho shall rule over us And in the elections already held, we see the sure promise that this is to be. If Indiana does her duty as well as Vermont and Maine, the question is settled. Our field is a more doubtful one, and yet we must stand along side the other States en the right side, and stand there strongly too. Let us bend to the contest.

"let the Dead Pa9t be Forgotten." [From a hundred Democratic speeches

There is no plea-so difficult to resist as that which appeals to generosity. And we do confess that, as we have noted during the present campaign, in all thrt "Democratic speeches which we have heard and read, the studied silence concerning

the past, the strict avoidance of any vol untary allusion to events preceding the spring of 1865, and the evident pain which all such ailusior,* on the part of

their opponents, lias occasioned, extorting ever the cry, Let the dead past be forgotten," or words of similar import, we

bavp. at times, felt like drawing tbo shroud over the sickening corpse and burying it out if sight. But many requests which it would give real pleasure to grant, must, from higher considerations of public or individual good, be refused, and this we judge to be one of this sort. Therefore wo have been obliged to steel our heart agiinst the piteous cry. and to gc forward with our disagreeable task of uneovaring, and caliing attention to those dead things whloh wero so disagreeable when alive and present. 'l'Lai we may not fce judged wrongfully in this matter, (fcr despite our Foeruing cruelty, we huve a very tender feeling towards these suffering ones'', wo propose to give two or three reasons lor our course.

Thogrost reason why we cannot '-Forget the dead past' is because

to (to

so.

If tfn Der.vxratio party wore dead.it could tind mue tender and forgiving lips than ours ti prononr.ee its funeral oration. Wo Would nusi giadiy draw the veil over its many and threat vices, ami would, iu language as glowing as wo could command, depict its few virtues But it is not deau. it is oisiy very sick, and though the appearances are that it is in a rapid decline, still ii may recover. At all events there is yet too much vitality in the body to render it safe to forget Us past evil deeds, to which it will certiinlv return if it does get up again.

Now a? its friends oannot olaim on i'.s behalf an application of the principle. "No evil cuicorning the dead," the only other valid plea to put in, is that of repentance and reformation. But these leaders who have shaped the policy of the partv, and who would do so a^ain if it were to get power, have not repented. They still think they did just right, and are proud «f those very deeds over which they plead with us to draw the pall of oblivion, and not unfrequently, when it is safe and politic to do so. point boastfully to that very "dead past." It Mr.Vookhees will pub

licly declare that he was wrong when he callei the soldiers "Lincoln's hirelings," and recommended the "iron collar,' and

urged "not ft man, and not a dollar,'' and went about singing "Dying, dying, dying," and will nay that under lik« circiimslanccs be would not do tho very same things again, then we would listen to tho pica to "Let the dead past bo torgotton for, an ho is a man of honor and truth, it would be ?afo to do so.

But if a man who haE once put a pistol to our head requesting money or life, and been thwarted in his purpose of robbery, comes afterwards, when he knows that we have money by us, and invites us to accompany him to an out-of-the-way spot, saying, Let the dead past be forgotten, we think wo should decline tho invitation. And it would not greatly tend to influence ns to change the declination for an acceptance, if wo saw a pistol protruding from his pocket, and knew that he was, indoed, rather proud of the boldness of his first and unsuccessful attempt, and of the

you with power over us and our country's life for the year3 to como. There is no repentance, not even a profession of change, on the part of Dan VooRHEES, or any of the leaders of the Democracy, and therefore it is not safe to forget the

past. Bopides these men do not want any but thtir opponents and the better men ot their own party to forget these things. It would be sure death to all their politcai hopes. It is not an honest plea. Had the "dead past" been forgotten, would Wadk Hampton have nominated Sbt-

The question is not as to our success, but shall our success be such that not oven tlio most hopeful enemy of our country can lail to see that there is no hope for the "Lost Cause.'' It must not only be pronounced dead, but buried and beyond the power of resur roclion.

We do nuL believe it possible to over rate the importance of this thought.— Every nerve must be strained, every voter must be brought out, every possible convert must be secured, not that Grant may be elected—that is already fixed but that his majority may be

But with this exception there is no sure wav to make their suredofoat doubly sure, than by pursuading their constituency to forget thn past. Without his "dead past"

It is only good men, moderate and loyal Democrats andJEepublican?, whom tboso leaders desire to exercise their forgetfulnoss and before these, so far a? it is in our power, and so far as wo think the public good demands it, we propose to hold up the "dead past" to public gaze and reprobation.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington,

D. Sept. IT, 1868

Senator Morgan and Representative Schenck havo at length decided that a Septomber session of Congress is necessary to the welfare of the nation. So we shall doubtless have a quorum here by tho li 1st instant.

Opinon has been very much divided here, among Republicans, upon the necessity of a September session of Congress, A short time ago it was deemed essential to tho salvation of the country that tho vote of tho South should not be lost to the Republican party by allowing the loyal meu of that section to be kept from the polls by throats and violence, lt was therofore deemed wise for Congress to assemble in September, and enact laws for the protection of the Union men of the South in the exercise of their right, as American freemen, to vote tho Presiden tial ticket of their choice. Since the nomination of Seymour and Blair, however, the popularity of Grant has increased so largely in the North, that many States which had been considered hopelessly Democratic, or very doubtful, before the rebels made their nomination in New York, are now conceded by the best informed men of all parties to be sure for Giant. Hence it is doubtful that iegisla ti-, business will be entered upon, or that anything wili be done by Congress, when it assembles next Monday, further than to provide for another adjournment many leading Republicans believing that the voto of the Southern States is no longer necessary to Grant, and that the time, between now and November, of our Serators and representatives can be much more usefully employed in their respective States and elsewhere, in instructing the people of the North, particularly those of New York and Pennsylvania, upon the true issues of the day.

It mint bewilder the {European reader of Southern papers to endeavor to extract from them the real sentiment and purpose of the ex-rebels. Side by side with an article advocating the doctrine that "this is a white man's Government" is another couched in the most endearimg language calling upon the negroes to vote for "their only true friends, meaning themselves, the ex rebels. All through Norih Carolina, Alabama,and Mississippi, they have been givii.g barbecues to tho colored people, whero the most delightful

eruaiift

it is mt safe

has prevailed—the lordly master

and Lis iato slave, the poor white and the cream colored, all mingling harmoniously together eating together, drinking together, smoking together and apping their hands together in appro* val of Democratic sentiment as adapted to tho mixed assembly. I wi?h I could reasonably believe that these poor negroes are not boinc deceived by their new friends t^.). The probability is, however, that alter tho votes of the negroes shall have been ecu red, thoir white co-laborers will turn upon them, endeavor to deprive them of their legal rights under the Constitution of the United States, and to reduce them ouce more to a point as near slavery a- possible." Let him who doubts it reler to tho late action of the Georgia Legislature.

It is a pity that the message, of Governor Br,llock, of Georgia, to the Legislature of that State on the expulsion of the colored members of that body, cannot be printed in every Democratic newspaper of the Limed States. It is more than an able document, and fully justifies the action of the Republicans of Goorgia in placing Governor Bullock in the gubernatorial chair of that State. Among the closing paragraphs are the following, which are thought here to have been inspired by assurances from leading Republican Congresmen that Georgia matters will be attended to when Congress meets next week. They ought to be:

"Is that a republican form of govern* ment where a majority of electors rules? Aro not tho privileges of a citizen "abridge ed" by your action? Does not the Consli tution of tho United States guaranteo each State a republican form of govern mont, and to tho citizens all their privileges and immunities?

socia/

Is it not tlje duty of Congress, by appropriate legislation, to enforce that Constitution?

Have we from our past experience any reason to believo that Congress will fail its duty?"

One of the first lawyers of Virginia, a colonel in the rebel army during the war, frankly acknowledged to me, last evening, in the course of a running after-din-ner oonversation, that ho believes ninetentha of the intelligent men who fought for the "lost cause," prefer Grant for President to any other Radical. "If we must havo a Radical,'' said he, "for goodness Bake give us a gentleman. There is nothing low, nothing underhanded about Grant. J3e is open and above-board. He was silent., modost and magnanimous at Appomattox, under circumstances which would tempt nearlv any man to put on airs, and his entire course, during and since tho war, proves him to be a man of great administrative ability, not only as a soldier at the head of armies, but as a civilian. Woof the South do not want a man to rule over us who has destroyed our prospects of indepundence, who approves of negro suffrage, and who is in favor of clothing the Federal Government with powers so great as to crush out the individualities of the States but, I repeat, if we must have a Yankee President with Yankee ideas, giv# us your best man—give us Grant." And so it goes. Our great Captain increases in popularity so fast, that if the election were to come off in March, instead of

November, I believe that he would carry every State in the Union by such majorities as have not been givon since the Tippecanoe campaign iu 1840.

It is exceedingly" gratifying to an American to read the comments of the liberal press of Europo on our political campaign, and tho high tributo paid to our candidate for the Presidency. Leading thinkers in England and on the continent understand that on the success of the Republican party, next November depends the success of all liberal movements in the Old World arid they are nearly^ if not quite, as anxious as the Re publicans of America toseo Grant elected They will not be disappointed.

Senator Yates, of Illinois, arrived in town on Monday evening. The Senator has been doing valliant servico tor the good caur-e in Illinois, but notwithstanding his arduous labors on the stump he is looking remarkably well. He feels san guine that his State will give a rousing majority for Grant and Colfax on the 3d of Novomber next.

must see him," said the detect

ive. The husband came he was a white man! "They have lived together as man and wife over two years," Sharpem said to me afterward, "and they get along first-rate."

Here was a place where children lived. Two or three rooms, in an old battered shanty that shook with every step across its floors. The children were homeless ones, fatherlees and motherless, turned out to live or die, as might be, in the streets of careless, heedless New York. Here they come to sleep, paying the old hag who kept the room, six cents a night. By day they tramped the city, getting a living in any way they could best. They were cuddled around the rooms under scanty, dirty blankets, and kept warm by a wretched stove glowing feeby in one cor er. Most of them were boys, none over twelve years, wedged in with them though, were some hungry looking girls, in whose faces the hard lines of want and sickness and privation were growing already. It made me heartsick to look at them—lonely strays I Poor, motherless things May His infinite love and mercy forget thee not!

Down in a cellar was a gang of ragpicker.3. They were getting ready for work, and with hook and basket would goon be out, over the city, working at their business. Pii«3 of rags, bones, offal, broken iron filled the place, save where a few articles of furnijure stood.— They were'Ttalians, and not disposed to be sociable. One had his bed luxuriantly arranged on a pile of old carpet rags, which were damp and noisome with the mud of the streets. These rag-pickers, manage to make money in their "dirty way they save it too, and one of these years they will go home to their own uountry and enjoy it. The women work as hard a9 the men, live as roughly, have no shame or decency about sexual mutter and aro as strong limbed. I asfced the age ol one of tho women who seemed rather more disposed to talk than the others. She was thirty-one. I should have said fifty. She had not one trace of youth left—a hard, weather-beaten face, a body bent and unhinged, a slow plodding step, and wrinkles coining. She had been in New York seven years—all the time a rag-picker. Had she got rich enough to go back Rich enough and sho smiled—"1 havo two children in Italy that my money is educating. They don't know their poor mother, poor dears, but I shall work hard for them, and sometime I wiifgo back »nd see them!" This woman carried a bag and fished in gutters and refuse barrels, from four o'clock in the morning till past sunrise, came home and sorted rags and offal all day, in a close, damp collar and yet, there was a tendor, romantic sentiment in hor life which made her look, not to herself, but to her little ones. May sho have her wish, and go b:ick to tbeni

"Mr. A. T. StewAet, of New YorS, a "bloated bondholder^' should be thankful to the gentleman wbd framed the fourth demand in the Democratic platform. His income tax for 1865 amounted to a trifle more than the total amount paid by the poople of ten States and four Territories. Ho paid $197,000 more than was paid by all the people of New Hampshire, $95,000 more than was paid by the people of Maine, and half as much more as wns paid by the people of Michigan. Out of tho thirty-six millions of people in the United States the statement of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for tho year 1857 Bhowstbat but '240,134 returned incomes. Out of this number 63 085 returned incomes of $20 or less, and 42947 under $50, leaving 134,102 to pay the bulk of $14,000,000. A rigid enforcement of the fourth demand of the Democratic Platform, for the taxation of "overv description of property" will "equalize" the tax in such a manner as to compel the poorest working man to contribute his shar9 of taxes, thereby relieving the 134,102 wealthy individuals of a portion cf their present burden.
