Our Democratic friend, upon the re ceipt of the newa of Seymour's nomination, lookad worie than they uaed to ovar a rebel defest, but finally rsllied, bled eomt of their moat faithful for money to buy powder, rolled out Young Hickory with a few tickly yell, which thundered just four timci, when they received the new of Blair' nomination, and something must have got in tbo touch-bole, or they ran out of powder, we don't know which; any bow tbe firing ceased, and the email crowd adjourned to take a drink. ' Failures to Ratify. The attempt at varioua place in the Nortbwcat to ratify with enthuaissm the nomioationa of Seymour and Blair, have proved failurea. Tbl waa the fact nota bly at Bloomington, Peoria, Jacksonville, Forrestor and Decatur in Illinto; and at Burlington, Dea Moines, Keokuk, Coun cil Bluff and1 Dubuque in Iowa. Democratlo Congratulations. Good-bye, Fendletoo! Good-bye, Green backe! How are you, Seymour? How .aakww as . a aro you, utairr now are you, nioateu bondholder? Charitable.

So ought every man to be, who haa the good of tht people of Franklin County at heart.' The Sheriff of our Countybaa It in hi power to do a great deal of good or harm; and from the. low, cunning, mean, underhanded and despissble actions which the nominee of the so-called Demooratio party resorted to, io securing his nomina tion. I for one would never feel riebt if I did rJot'bavo a chance to cast my vote for soma' respectable man, Democrat or Ivopublican. 1 Lava heard Democrata aay (the teal "aunoo pure,") that, he, the aaid nominee SJLby name -did, in the German townalupa, to tba aaloon keenera therein, promise if Ac waa nominated that they'thould not bo prosecuted lor breaking the lawa pf Indiana; that be, aa Sheriff, bad the selection of one. half of tbe Grand Jury, (a lie!) and that be would KVI f M mm nwa. ..w.auv.v and that ahould they be indicted bo would ao atock tho Petit Jury that a conviction nn m m n mm wAn Iii tint I h r? f n I lltAm wculd be ImpoMible. There is no ue denying tho fsct that the Democrat of this County have a large majority, and I for one would bo willing inut be to have Democrats for our County oflii-era. But if they nominate such a UMn i Ntal, 1 van only appeal to tbt

Democrata to rave tbemeelvca from that disgrace, and five ua some other to . vote for. Any otbir one tf those wbo asked the nomioatlos la far superior in '"every f articular, aa Bona of tbem atooped ao ow to conriuet James, ' Russell, .Qaick,

'' ;; ' INDEPENDENT. ', : . Forth Araarloaa. - Me. EciTOE,--TLere is a symmetrical chord of baoktctioa eympathy rubnlpg through the uman frame, especially a DemocratTo cowtitution, thatis fraught with the direst vila io its diiappointcd reiQtioo. . To thostudeot of human; nature there ie no more fruitful field than a community where ure'Democracy rcigos during an exciting convention or political canvsss. All aUadca cf character and decree a of heat an tnaolfcat, especially where the creature wlinky N wltbin reach of 'the faithful." i We have had our experience. Wehavjseen our see during the p'aatweck at Faitfiald. At no time during the first few daioftU N. Y. Convention would any othes then Pendleton atock pasa at greenbacl par among "tho faithful" of the above place, until tho 'return on Wadneaday tt,itiT of tht 'Grand Mogul KsgStono Irvinono. Amid the fluctuations of the f.Jr preceding day the unterrifled af Falrteld held r steady' Pendleton front, iruid glowing viiionscf rampant greenback "oh bender" seeking ad miaaloo Into pool men'a pockets, proving a oure for all the i la of lite in tho return of tht good old Democratic day. ' I have often wandered at the discipline of the party, and discovered more of Its eaorat working daring tbt put few day than ever before. It waa evident here that the Grand Moguls had sprung the Pendleton fever to it hlgheat htat, and for a time it was feared the tesm could not be held in the traces. - ''Nothing short of Pendleton!" said "Old Buck." Dm Chile!'' said the Ciptiln, not mads of dust, but Clay, and who mi to clay will Tcturn. "Ill never vote for Chase," aaid some twenty of "the faithful." No; doubt a eounaol waa called, for soon the junior Mogul Albertino Millerono wss heurd to say, III vote for the uomlnce, if ho'e a nigger.1' 'So will I, "said Old Buck, "and I." "and I,". ran through 'the faithful." Dr. Ormabyono Donahono wna aollen and gloomy, but Grand Mogul Ksgoiono was off to Brookvllle for Instructions. All day Wedesdsy gloom pervsdod tbo mind of "the faithful." They were In a terrible fix, and fs.-s were entertained that tht scrvicea of Dr. Berrywise would certainly be needed in Faiifield to give strength to tho Democratlo column, aa it waa found that Dr. Ormabyono and Ziclisriis were too unMesdy to rely on. Tba return of the Grand Mogul immediately changed tba aituftion, and with the peculiar scent that characterizes the party, they began to face theu from the different quartcra or the globe surrounding Fairfield to the Brick Corner, Hero were tratbered latt at niirbt tbt (Jrand Mo?ul Mr. Clementono IL Coryono, Dr. Ortntbyono, Uld Uuck, Captain not duat, but Clay, and many other of "tho unterrißed. ' They had held their ncctine, received their instruction, and at a lato hour were about to adjourn .But it was evident that diaiatisfaction reigned. Loud and boUteroua talking waa the order of the hour, while one awore by this and another ewore by that,,, Curses loud and deep wert heaped upon the bead of Tom Hen dricks for failing lo support Pcndloton. The En(iMlrtr aaa denounced as a I vine aheet, because it bad aaid the West would go solid for Pendleton. Mr. Clcruentono 11. got it right and left for his want of de iwuwb i a vBuicion. x'r. uonanono a throats were made from a muddy brain, while Old Buck, and tht Clay man were a a . r ever anu anon neara irom. uur worthy grist mill msn living on the opposite corner, havlog occasion to get up about that time for his own relief, opened his front door for thie purpose; but had to beat a baity retreat to tho back part or the houso. In his aleepy frame of mind bo at first imagined it waa moroiog, for on the one sido were the noUy declamation of "the faithful," and oo the other Zacharias still beld private counsel on tbe situation. Mr. Hughea relates, tbst awakened from hi aleep by tbounterrified,"hl first imprcaioo waa mat toe world waa coming to an end; but the Democratic csucui werQ de lying iht Almighty, to do It until after Pendleton waa elected President. At length quiet prevailed, and the morrow demonstrated a chango of boto'and tactica on the part cf ''the faithful." Thry had (he riafformthat wa$ the men tial. Still there waa no disguisinir their chagrin over the. Pendleton defeat. Many aurmiaes were offered as to who would bo tbe nominee, Old Buck bringing out something new ss he consulted tho Moguls on the situation. The day woro wearily i. it . t 1'. ja.a . away, io mo atagusi oi mo over anxioua faithful.' Evening brought the tidings of the nomination' of Seymour .'to man for the place. , fit is all right,'" said one or tbe Mogul in tbe prcsenca of a num ber of "tbt faithful, 'J who f.wero wailing for the next atroke of policy. : "oeymour can carry New ork and Pennsylvania, while l enaieton eottid not bavt touched them." That's ao, by G-d!" chimed in Old Buck; Pendleton could have touched them, but not with auch forco aa Seymour." still howing aome Pendleton leaning. It waa aoon mouthed around that Seymour waa'WIe-mat, and as it had been determined that whoever received the nomination was certain to bo President, auch is now the change of ha so thst Seymour is to fill that position instead of Pendleton, no matter tim they do repre sent two opposite ideas on tbo greenback queatlon. 'lt'a tbe platform we wanted; not o particular about ..the man," aaid Old Buck. Cheerful countenances now illamo the fC!l of the faithful, jet the observer can ace Pendleton and Greenbacks" still lurking'in tbe eye of tht disappointed. A ratification anvil gun was fired lor several round, to the utter disgust and squalling propenattiee of a tbree-niontha-old, babe, and at its request the meeting was post poncd for the present.

Tbe congrega tion seemed in good humor and much pleased with the aeverat Jocutar address es. 'When Rov.

Jirvadhrad; - Dear Colonel: In reply to yonr Inquirifit, I beg Icavo to tay that I Icavo to you to determine, on consultation ' with myfilend from Missouri, whether my name ahull ho presented to the Democratlo Convention, and to submit the follow, ingaawbat I consider the teal and only Ituuc in this contest. The reconstruction policy of the Bad icala will be complete before tht next election, tho Statcs so long excluded will have keen admitted, tierro suflrsffl eatah. lisbed, and the carpct-bsggera installed inj thoir scats in both branches of Congress. Tbcre ia no porsibility of changiog the political character of tho Senate, even if the Democrats should elect their President and a majority of the popular branch of Congress. We cannot, therefore, un do Iht Radical plan of reconstruction by Congressional action; the Senate will con tine a bar to Ita repeal. Must we submit to ii? How can it be overthrown? It can only be overthrown by ibe authority of tht Executive, who is sworn to maintain tba Conatitution, and who will fail to do hia duty if he allow the Constitution to perish under a series of CongrcssionsI enactments which are in palpable violation of its fundamental principles.; . If tho Presidont elected by the' De mocracy enforces or permits other to en forco thcuo Reconstruction acts, the Rad. icala, by the secession of twenty spurious Scnatoia and fifty Representatives, will control both branches of Congress, and hia admiuUtration will be as powerless aa tbe present one of Mr. Johnson'. ' Thcro is but ono way to restore the Government and the Constitution, and that is fot tho President elect to declare these acts null and void, compel the army to undo ita usurpations at tbe South, disperse the cat pet-bag State governments, allow the white people to reorgsniao their own governaieut and elect Senators aod Representatives. The House of Representatives will contain a majority of Dem ocrata from the North, and tbey will admit the Kcpresentativcs elected by the white people of tht South, and with the co-operation of he President it will not be difficult to compel (he Senate to., submit onco more to the obligations kof the Constitution. It will uot bt able to withstand tho publio judgment, if distinctly invoked and clearly expressed, oa Jbie fundamental iue, and it is the eure way to avoid'all future strife to put:, this issue plainly td the country, . eta '.

It i Idle a it awe. to talk of bond, greenback, gold, tbt publio faith and tht publio credit. What can, a Democratio President do in regard to any of these with a Congress In both branches controlled by the carpet-bagger and tbeir allies? Ha will bt powarlata to top the supplies by which idle negroes are orgat.ir.ed into political cluba by which an army ia maintained to protect tbect vagabonds in their outragea upon tbe ballot. These, and thing like these, eat up the revenue and resource' of the Government, destroy its credit, and make the difference between gold and greeobacka. e must restore the Cootituti-o before we can restore the finances, and to do this wo must have a President who will execute the will of the people by trampliog into dust the usurpations of Congress known as the Reconstruction acts. I wish lo stsnd before the Convention upon thi l-sue, but it is one which embraces every thing else that ia of value in ita lara and comprehensive results, it is tbe one thing that include all thst Is worth contest, and without it there is nothing that gives ditrnity. honor or value to the struggle. Yourl'tlcnd, Frank T. Blair. SPEECH BY SENATOR MORTON. The Democracy Shown Up, roTftsri'L ixroMrtON or INFAMY. TUB TARTY I ' Waiiiinqton, July 10. Senator Morton's speech in the Sonate last evening Ie commented upon by all Re publicana aa striking the key note of the present campaign, u was, in lull, aa follows: , , Mr. Morton "I do not rise so much to discus the variOu proposition relative to counting the electoral vote as (o say that I am tor that offered by tht Ser.aur from Vermont, bollcvlng that It la more specifio and direct than the ether two, but perhaps any ono of them would answer the purposo. I desire, however, to aay one woid in repaid tu the importance of thia measare. We have been noting the proceedings of a Convention held in the City of New Voik, which has but Just adjourned. I have read the resolutions adopted by' that' Convention.. The platform of piinciple, aa laid down, snd upou which the candidates have been placed, and 1 wUh to call the attention of the Senatt to the Issno that is presented to the country by thia platform and by the character of those candidate. General Grant, in his letter of acceptance, ssid: "Let us have pesce." But lhe Democratio parly by their Convention in New York havt raid: Let ua have war; thero shall be no peace." Thoy have dec.lar.ed in substance, 1 might aay perhaps in direct terms, that the recoi.ntuction oi these States under tho several acta of Congress shall not be permitted lo aland, but sbsll be overturned by military force. If they get the power they have announced that there ahall bo no pence in thia country; lhat there shall bo no settlement of our troublea except upon tho condition of the triumph Of those wbo havt been in rebellion. This platform and these nominations are a declaration of iht renowal of tho rebellion. Let me call your ritten tion to a purt of the eighth teaolotion, in regard to thia very question'. In speaking of the reconstruction of the States, they go on to say that 'the power to regulate suffrage exists with each Slate," making no difference between loyul States that hsvo teen at peace, and States that have been in rebellion, putting tlioiu all upon tho snrue footing, and (hut "utiy attempt by Congress, on any pretext whatever" that ia upon the psetoxt of tbo rebellion, if ou please-' to deptivo any State of thia rigbt or interfere with It exereise, ia u fiigrant usurpation of power which can find no warrant in tho Constitution, and if sanctioned by tho people will subvert our form of Government." They declare that tht interference of Cnngroui with the suffrage In Slate that havt been io rebellion, though that intcrfeiouco may bt absolutely nccoary, aa we havt found it in the icconstruction ot tht Slates, ia unconstitutional, and that no justification can be found for it, and that it will subvert our form of government. This Con ventlon has called upon the rebel cf the South to regnrd these governments, organised by the outhority of acta of Congress, by tbe people of these States, aa usurpations, unconstitutioosl, and it haa thereby Invited them again lo insurrection and rebellion. That I what thai resolution means. There is where tht Democratic party has placed itaelf and ita candidate, mat mere snail be 10 ac quiescence in the action of Congress, but that continued resistance is and shall be their policy. They have replied to Gen eral Grant by aaying that there ahall bo no peace, but tho war ahall be renewed. There can be no other policy for (hat party unlee it acquiesces in our work. If it does not scccpt these reconstruction sets, there csn be no policy but that of resistance, and a renewal of the war. Tbey declare these jeconetiuction act to bounconstitutional end void. Being void, nobody is bound to regard them; they have no authority over any one to coerce or to punish, and may-bt resisted by-any one with impunity. That may not be the language of this resolution, but it is the aubktance and meaning of it. And in consequence of thia it received the Indorsement and the approbation of tbe hundreda of rebela wbo were in that Convention from the South, men who organized the rebel government; men who organized and led tht rebel armies in battle. This, then, is the issue a continuance of tho war, a renewal of the rebellion, because it is either that or it is submission and acquiescence to what haa been done. - But, Mr. President, we are not left to grope for tho meaning of this Convention. Wt aro not left even to seek for it by in ference. 'We have tbe letter of Geo. Francis P. Blair, written, I believe, less than a week ago, and haa been indorsed by that Convention thia afternoon by bia nomination as their candidate for Vice President. It is as much a part of tbeir platform aa if it waa ineorporated in it, for tbo ink was hardly dry before it was indorsed by bia nomination. 1 repeat, air, that this letter is a part of the Democratio platform. General Blair, whatever tor may aay of biro, ia a bold, outspoken man, and ho spoke tho sentiments of that Convention. He says, "upon thece enllmenls I. want to ftand before th Con a-ctitivn'.". Upon these eeutimoat bv was

nominated. Therefore Ii aar that tba

langgt of tbt Democratio Contention of New York to the whole country is, war, resistance by force of arms to Congressional legUlalito, tbt overthrow by ferret tf arms oi tht Governments thst have beta erected io the rebel Siatea ander the tare enacted by Coogrcas, the' continuance cf thia atrnggle, ia i aouewhat diTertxt form, butatill tht aamt stragjlt, eoattading ior me samt principles. It la tow aaooaaoed formally, art at Montgomery, not at Bichmond, bat I New York. Tbe country' need net be at los to understand the character of the contest upon which we are entering.' It is not one of. peace and acquiescence, f consolidation, whereby the ravage of war ' may be repaired, and it la a new anooooct tnent of the rebellion seder 'somewhat different circumstances, bat under cir cumstance formidable, dangerous and solemn. - i - - , . t Let the country look the struggle ia the face. Gen. Blair has aaid truly that ' all lhat is ssid shout greenbacks and bonds and- tbt question of finance, is mere boo sense, The great iaaue ie tht question tf overturning the new Stste governments by force. The restoration of the power of the rebels, or, as they call it, Mtbe white men's government," In those Ststei, and "all tbt rest in leather aod pranalla." - We owe a debt of gratitude io Geeeral Blair for hia frankness. There need be no deception praoticod now, aod there eaaj be neither can be no other Issue presented aubatantlalty to OS, but that of the future peace of thi country. Ifdtyaaowr shall' be tleoted upon that platform he atanda pledged to use iht army of the United States for Iht purpose of overturning tht govtromenls thst have been established io tba South by the whole people and by the army, to place tht power Lack again Into the hand of the rebels. They were with lb ein In that Convention, with him in that Convention, They have endoraed Mr. Seymour. Their Convention and all have endoraed Oeneral Frank P. Blair. I know that we shall be told ia tht Northwest thst they Intend to have tbt same currency for the Government and tho people, and for tht bondholder and the laborer. They will proclaim taxation of tht bond ss tht great lut upon whirl they expect to get votes thst wilt all ba nonsense. The great inue and lhe whole contest, and wt havt tht solemn declaration of their candidate for Vice President to that fffict, will be the renewal of the war and to overturn the Statt Governments that have lust been established ondar the act of Co'ngre. Oeneral Blair has relieved tht Republican party of av great deal of labor. He haa unmasked, the enemy with whom wt havt to deal,, and he has placed before the country tbt very issue, peace or war.
