A few months tefure llic noroinatioo of Grant, under tha bead of .''The JJuty of tho Democratic I'arty ia a Certain Event," the Vittaburgh l'ost, in the course of reful editorial article aaid: l5up(oe that, contrary to the wish of eouie t i the leading ludical lilac k. lief ublican, who want tho otSce tbcrnvelrea, (jen. urant should be nominated for the Presidency hj th llepubliean party what course ought the Democratic party to pur eue? Ought wo to nominate a mania opposition to General Grant? Ouifht we to charge him with beioj; an enemy to his country, or in favor of uujust measure, merely because he may have received aaid Domination? - Vi 6 ere inclined to leliere that more deponds upon General Grant now than upon any other individual in the United States. We believe him to be far superior to the majority of the far sighted policitiani who have been ruling the nation without bringing peace or economy to our legislation, lie ia known to all the people as a straightforward man, and, 0 far as can be judged, a man well disposed to deal fairly with the people of all sections of the Union. , . What better thing can we do in caae of General Grant a nomination by the Republican party than to vote for him for the Preaidency? Our aim abould be to strengthen his hands; to render him as much as possible independent of party, and to elect him as the President of the people. If unanimously, so much the better. - We solemnly believe that if the people generally f the United Statescan, come together with real unanimity on General Qrant; in regard to tho President, it will be tba happiest thing for our eonntry that could occur.'. The future good effects of thia eourae are almost incalculable. We earnestly ask oar Democratio friends everywhere to consider this subject oare fully. , . , .

'i ? VOL. 7, NO. 31. THE GERMANS AND OCRACY. THE DEMRepudiation of Seymour ind Blair. The Zaoeaville (Ohio) Courier publish est tranalation of an artiste from The Germania, a German paper printed In that city, which bis heretofore been Democratio. Its present poaltion will be seen by the editorial, which wi reproduce: Tbo great Damoorallo National Con vontioo recently essembicd in New York, for the aelection of candidatea for the Preaidency and Vice Presidency, where the eyea of both continents were turned wiib a.er and also with ansiooa a pactalion, which the great Industrial Inhibition did not equal nor call auch a multitude of penple to witness, hat, at laat, af ter 22 balloting, united in selecting a candidate for the Presidency -a candi date who, it seems, from tho beginning would not have his name used, and there fore one whom the Democratic party never more thought cf, vis.: Horatio Seymour, of New York; Notwithstanding they drspged long with the candidate lor the Presidencr, they were soon done with the Vice Preaidency, tho candidate being proposed, Indeed, in a vary thoughtless manner and accepted. Shall wit ftive our candid and Impartial opinion about tho whole matter? After following with the greatiat attention and tha hixbaat intrat th wbolo proceedings of (he I'onTenllon, wo can not help but supportad by tha opinion of Conservative aa.oclationa and prominent personalities think (bit this is not the will of the Democratio poor!a but that it la only tha work of i granJ, old, widc-md'broad spun, secret, political clique. Why shall we conceal the troth and deceive- onraalve? Cm patriots itjnd it with culm blood to h thue humbaygod bj tha poliliciana and, like greenhorn, say to thia political fineste: Yea and Amen? Is this an Introduction of the Demooratio honesty destined to repudiate the pretended corruption? A baa omen. The nomination is therefore, to speak freely (and a German recognises freedom of speech), not tho eiprea.ion of the Democracy bat tho work of Auguat Del unnt, of New York, the rioh banker and bondholder. Where, In this connection, are the fruita of progressive Democrscy, of Democracy that has learned something Miice the ceniuienceuient of the war, and wih whom conservative Uepublicans could unite? Is not thia neniination rather a retrogsding in tho old waja of Domocrary that onco deatroved the and nourly ruined tha country? Or shall the noniiunliun of Mr. Ulair. who. in bia letter to the New York Convention, prench quati rebellion, and the installation of the PrcsiJent as a dictate r. bo a sign that Democracy will open a way to tbo prosperity and freedom of tho country? The people expected this Convention to form a reuewed, newly-made, vigorous democracy, under whoso wing upright Democrats and oiolerate Uepublicans could associate, and which would set aaido the uld wire pullers of the party, ind how were they cheated? A Vallandighiitn was tho first to bring the nomination of Seymour on the carpet. A notorious rebel general, Forrest, a Wade Hampton, and more of tha fane calibre, fruuia the platform, give the key note and play the big bass fiddle and the innocent delegates dance around the ignnt fatuus and like buys, burn their wiog. A F. Ulair, who not loog ago stood iu a miser able light, is put at the bead aa if ho had through his rebel letter to the Convention not only received perfect remission for sinn but alto eurued fulled grace. Such acts as these certiaoly are greatly applauded by rebels, but received with great indignation on the part of war Democrats, who fiuding tlicuisclresdeceivcd.will again tear themselves loose fro id tho party enacting them. The fact ot the matter is, they are speaking already. 'Consternation and anguish are in the Democratio camp. ownere, not even in- new . lorlt, is there true entbusissm. Geo. Sherman declares for Grant against Seyruour, and bo up to this time, do all hiiherto Con eervatives. Thus stand, unhappily, the facts, and every Democrat who will faco tho truth can not deny that the Democratio National Convention was a miscarriage, and the nominations a swindle and blunder. Leading Democratio papers such as the New, York Herald and others, acknowledge that a Democratio victory can only be brought on through a mircle, The last chance, waa given the Convention to help Democracy to the scepter, by the placing of men of progress, of tried Uoionism and unswerving honesty before the people, but it missed its mission it fell into wrong hands. "Let us have peace," says Grant. Lot us overturn tho State governments of the South by the aword," aay Frauk Blair and Delmont'a Convention. ' Whether we ahall have peace, with the thrift and blessings it brings, or war witb its measureless calamities, must be decided by tho people at the November eleo tion.

cannot be aaid that Gen. Blair assumed this poaition heedlessly. He assumed it as a bid for tho nomination which ho received, and frankly announced his policy. Tbe Convention indorsed him enthusiastically. Daniel 8. Dickinson on Horatio Sey. mour. Tbo'following is an extract from tho speech of Daniel S. Dickinson, delivered at the great ratification meeting held at the Cooper Institut, in the city of New York, October 8, 1802. As Mr. Dickinson waa a life long Democrat, and In a position to bo perfectly posted on Mr. Sey inour'e record, the picture he drsws may be ecpeoiolly refreshing just now to thosa ''Conservative folder" who, at their late Convention in New York, committed themselves so unreservedly tho support of the Democratio nominee for the Presi dennv: , When the most atrocious conspiracy which ever dosecrated earth found development in an assault upon our National flag at Sumter, and in efforts to massacre a half-starved garriaon, placed there in a time of profound peace, aooordlng to uni form ussco, fur no other offen no then si sorting the supremacy of their country's Constitution, and giving to tho breeze, as emblematical thereof, the gloilous Stars and Stripes of their fatherswhan tbe brive volunteer! who were hurrying to the defense of our nation's capital, to aave f r o rn mob rule and rebellion, a od eon Halation, wore bleeding bjr tmitorour banda when atrong man truwbleJ, whan women wept, and children Instinctively clung closer to the maternal boiotu whan all communication between tbe loyal Statci and tbo capital wti cut off bv rebellious forces when th Preaident elect of tho United States had been recently resched the seat Of Government, where duty called him. by a oireuitoua and an unusual route, tod in disguise, to escape tho dagger of the asaasain, and when our land was filled with excitement and con iternation aud alarm when "shrieked the timid and atood atill lbs brave," and the couflding masses looked about to seo who were the men for the crisis, among tho oitiacna of the Kmpire Siste who had borne a part in publio affairs, and were naturally looked up to aa cxamplara in such a crisis, he (Horatio Seymour) hied himself away upon the double-quick in tbo oppohite direction laughterj, and for nearly half a year hid himself among the lakes and rivers and romantic woodlands, and inland towns of Wisconsin; and his tongue wsa as silent on the subject of denouncing tho rebellion as thoso of the murdered volunteers, whose '.'ghosts walk ed onreveuged amonsjst.ua." Sensation. There we" may suppose 'ho basked and balanced, and watched and waite'd, and turned and twisted laughter, until autumn: when a small knot of defunct, defeated, desperate, and despicable politicians, wbo had for years hung upon the subsistence department of the Democratio party in the State, came to bis relief by entering the field. Laughter. I They oorroweu wunout leave tne Honored name of Democracy, under which to perpetrate their covert treason as the hypocrite "Stole tba lltry of tbteoart of Uoaran To serve the.jd.vit lo." Their dir-grawfut and disloyal record stands out as the doings of men too stolid in political depravity to bo gifted with ordinary instincts, and too regardless of the popular will to be mindful of shame; aud the defeat they experienced at the hands of tbe people, should servo as warning to trimmers and traitors and paricides and ingrates, through all futare time. fata .a a inis movement drew tho eeeloded one from h a hiding place, and he came forth, with all the courage of him who, in a con flict with his wife, being driven under tbe bed, while remaining thus ensconced, de ctored, lhat whether she consented or tot, he would look out through a knot-bole in the clap-boards, so long as he had the spirit ot a man! lUreat and repeated laughter and applause. 1 He entered the politican canvass, and on the ZSth Octo ber, 18G1, a few daya before the election, mado a speech, the burden of which wos an apology for the rebellion, snd a condemnation of the Administration for baving meted out tho rigor of martial law to those in arms against the Government. Though abounding with flimsy dir-guiscs and sophistical generalities, it contained one point worthy of not only notice, but of tho severest reprehension, and here it is: "If it is true that slavery must be abolished to Bare this Union, then the people of the South should be allowed to withdraw themselves from that Government wbtch can not give them the protection guaranteed by its terms." What! Place this glorious Union this hcritsge of human hope this asylum for the world's wesry pilgrim this refuge for the oppressed of earth, in the scale of being beneath the black and bloated and bloodv tho corrupt and corrupting tbe stultified and stultifying institution of slavery!

WHOLE NO. ail. Six Reasons for tha Unanimity of General Grant's Nomination and the Nec.esiity ind Probability of hie Election. The unanimity of General Grant's nomination by eo large a body as the Chicago Convention is a thing which seldom happens to any candidate for office, much less to candidates for the highest cilice in the gift of tho people. Its significance can neither be explained away nor ita force lessened by conjectures or suppositions. The delegates were bat the mouth pieces to express the strong popular preference, and good and sufficient reasons can be given for that pietcrcoee. 1. The test oueatlons of Thomas Jefferson can, In this caae, bo aniwsred.in the af&rmatlva. General Grant ia honett; be I capsble. 2. No man living has rendered snch greet aod important services to the nation as lio. 3. He die) not seek the office, a rare thing in theso times. 4. He la eminently a practical man; fair minded and moderate in bis views, but firm and determined! In the discharge of his duties. 5. The election of such men will not only give pesco and aisnrsnce at home, but will elevate the credit and prestige of the nation abroad, and remove all doubt among foreign people of the stability and permanence of our financial system, and of tbe complete restoration of civil author Ity. G. The conflicting view a"nd angry fcclingi engendered bj civil itrifo not having entirely auhtlded, it la of the laat importance thatjtbo Preaident to be elected, should be i mm of liijjh character, having the confidence, love and gratitude of the people. Could any man except Preaident Warr ington nave prevented the United States from driAing into tbe niielstfoom of tbe 1 reneh revolution? The above rcaions, and many more which ro(j?ht be urged, will account for tbe entire unanimity of General Grant's nomination, aud, also, God grant, for his triumphant elaotioo. N. Y. Evenlog Post. nl I Graying. The New York Citizen, aa esrneai supporter of Mr. Seymour, haa raised the cry to save the Democratio ticket from ita friends. It thus describes the fire in tbe rear It ia receiving front the Southern Democracy, and invokes the fearful dispensation of a fool-killer; fools. "Though yeu bray a fool io a mortar, his folly will net depart from him." We have not only brayed then in mortars, but in rifled cspnon, in fifteen inch gnna aod in many other curious and unpleasantly effective Intrvtments, and still their folly seems to be altogether their post prowineotquality. At Vickshurg and lort St. Pbilip wo brayd them with our mortars, at Port Pulaski wo devotcd.oar rified ordinance to their service, at Savannah we turned our fifteen inch guns to their improvement, and at Richmond wo gave them tbe finishing touch with whatever we hid at commindj and jet they come back to os what is left of them as fresh in their folly as ever. In fact the process seems only to bsve brought the disease to tbe surface, and they are blooming all over with folly spots, as well soaked topers do with gin blossoms. One of the most prominent of them helps- along tho election of Seymour and Blair by an nonncmir that it would result in the salvation of the "Lost Cause." Another, ... - repudiates the plank of the Democratic platform whieh announces as the settled conviction of North aod South alkc of Union and rebel soldiersthat secession is' desd, and tbey all proclaim that tbe election of Seymour and Blair is to be tbe vindication, and possibly the renewal of rebellion. This ia bad enough; but worse remains to te told. It is announced that rebel generals and Congressmen, soldiers with hands red witb the blood of our fellowNortherners, and politicises fresh Iroro plotting tho destruction of tbe Union, are to stamp the North-against Grsnt and Colfax. We have all we can do to wiu this election at best save us from this assistance or wo are lost. Let them carry their own States; tha? employment will occupy their full time and require more abilities. If they can draw over the negro vote on a fair basis, such as qualified suffrsge, let them do so.. We do not care to have Buckner's opinion thit Grant is no general. Questions of this kind art pretiy well settled in our view, and are not involved in the prescot election. It they were, and the Democrats took the Southern side, we should not be left with a corporal's guard on election day. Kvcry rebel speech made at the North and rebels seem unable to make any but rebel rpecches wPl cost ua a hundred votes for every one it gains. The North desires reunion reunion of heart as well as of territory and when the Southern ers honestly desire the same, they can benefit themselves snd their country by saying so openly and distinctly. llight glad will the North be to hear tho utterance, but we can hear it from the South the birth-place of secession as well as at our own doors. How to Keep Coot. It it something to know how to keep cool during the dog days, for though we all use ice with lavish generosity, keep our butter ia a tolerably cool condition, JLe , neither fans or iee will keep EOlhe meat which we individually carry oa our bones instead of in the refrigerator. In these hot days a cool apartment, for instance, rs a real luxury and yet it is a lux ury to be had far oftener than most peopledtem possible.. The secret consists, though, not so much in-letting in cool air, for naturally all tfo that whenever they have tbe chance, but in keeping out hot air. If the air outside a room or house be cooler than the aU inside, let it

While this great futt h tttrieg the country in tho faco, we propose, substantially, to continuo the tamo system. Will we Icara nothing? Are we incapable of instruction by experience? That is What is tuhttsntially said again ly this section. One hundred and fifty millions of revenue has been rtoltn, oMhe Govfro ment defrauded out of it, and there bare been thousands of cfTonna committed, at J yet lesa than twelvo persons have been convicted throughout tho whole United States.
