Supporters of Seymour Beauregard, Forrest, Hampton, Sommea, Toombs, and nine-tenths of the relets who fought under the Stars and liars. This fact needs do comment. When Blair, in 18G0, during the campaign in Indiana, branded the Democracy as a "vile miserable party, and abused Douglas ao Gercely, Dan. Voorheea called Blair the "prioce of blackguards." Blair io return branded Voorhees as a "hell hound.' Now th "hell bound" eupports the "prince of black-guards," A nice couple, truly. The Louisville Journal Bounds the loopj rail, and lajs: "Democrats, stand y to the polls. If that will not do atand to 's your guns," and the spirit of these words breatles through mad speech and raving editoral, from ihe Ohio to the Gulf. The only hope of quenching these flames is bj amotheriog them under the overwhelming ballots cast for Grant, Colfax, and Peace. .Again she pipes: Jloak a by Styaoar.

It will not onlj lead to military despotism it establishes military despotism. If it is upheld our liberties are overthrown. The safety of our persons, the security of our property, will hereafter depend upon the arbritrary wills of such military rulers as may bo placed over u., while our conatitutionalguarantees will be broken down.' Vallandigham, the traitor, repaid that letter of Seymour's by proposing him as the Democratic nominee for President. Frank Dlair says: "Revolutions cannot go backward." But the Blairs can. Like many other serpentine productions, the Democratio ticket carries its sting in its tail.

The next remarkable total eclipse of the sun will consist of the total eclipse of the sou of Frank Blair, sr. - Blair says "Radicalrstu has made Copperheadinni respectable." If so, has it teen by injecting the Blair family into that part? . The Hartford Foot thus hits the nail on the head: ''The Detnocratio party is bc pare party in war, and the wa party io. peace." Gen. Blair took breakfast by the aide of Gen. Graut tho other day in Omaha. It is the first and last time Blair has been or will bo in good company during the campaign.

TLo Democrats of Mcridien, Claiborne Parish, La., claim to bave a colored Democratio Club of over 300 members. Seymour Man I tell you what, Sir, Democracy is looking up. Grant Man Well, your bogus Democracy id so flat on its back that it can't look any other way. The so-called Democrats are busily engsged'm hunting up the Colfax lamily records. Thus tar they have found it a pedigree alio amusement, but by no means prouuble. Said a well known lawyer of St. Louis the other day, "I have been a Democrat, but I cannot vote lor Seymour. I will cot vote to surrender everything we fought for. If I can do any good, I will take the stump for Grant and Colfax. Democratic stumpspeakers and editors tell -us the bonds are held by tho rich while the poor pay the taxes. Seymour eaya the bonds "have gone into the hands of innocent holders, who, to a vast amount a compulsory owners. It is a mistake to suppose that they are mostly held by capitalists." Whilst Valliodingham was "watching and waiting over the border," a 10 cents tax was levied on the Democracy of Ohio to keep his soul and body together and sustain him in hii treason tbe thing worked weir and proved ao successful then, that the Democratio Executive Committee of that State have resorted to the same method assessing a contribution of ten cents a bead ou each Democratio voter to carry on their political campaign. Precisely the same thing is aimed at now as it was then; to make the war a "failure," and gain to the "lost cause" by the ballot what the Democratic traitors lost by the bullet! We assure Democracy that "10 cents a head" will ' not purchase salt cough to save their bacon, for Gen.. Grant, backed by the People, is "moving oo their works" and requires an unconditional surrender.''

cation meetings? ask the Democrats Wherever a number of Democrats are gathered together with a Uebel spouting treason in their midst. Those prove the most effective ratifications of the Republican ticket. The editor of The Philadelphia Press says that he received from the late Gen. llalpioe, about six weeks ago, a letter in which he expressed bis determination to oppose any Democratic ticket that ignored the brave men who put down the Rebellion. No man has said a more sensible word than was written by Liebman Alder, him self a Jew, to the Illinois States Zeitung, the other day. Hear him: "But I am far from holding Grant as an enemy of the Jews. To-day no educated man is an enemy of the Jews." den, Blair did not stop .in St. Joseph on Tuesday week last. A vivid reflection of an experience with stale eggs ir. that city in 1859, probably influenced him to pasa on, though he should also remember that those who administered the eggs then are bis supporters now. '' The Columbus Journal says: "The last act of the Rebels, before the war, was to vote the Democratic ticket. Tho fust act of the Rebel), after the war, was to vote the Deroocratio ticket. Aa there was hut one step from Democracy into rebellion there was but one step from rebellion back Into Democracy." Tho Rebels will soon be fighting among themselves. Gen. Preston of Kentucky denies that Wade Hampton or any other Southern man placed the words unconstitutional, revolutionary, and void in the Democratio platform. He says it was placed in it by a Free-Soil Northerner. How will Wado Hampton atand being called a liar? Major Evans, candidate for Auditor of State, at a recent meeting in Indianapo lis, in a course of a speech, said that the only independent work he had ever known Blair to do as an army cilicer was his march down through Lower Tennessee and Mississippi, when Grant was be seiging Richmond. When asked by Grant if he had taken any prisoners, bo replied, ''No; but I have burned a d d ciht of houses, and captured all the niggers." The Pittsburg Commercial says that "Gen. J. Bowman Sweitxer, who served with distinguished gallantry to the close of the war, and was the Democrat To nomi nee for Congress two years ago in oppo sition to Gen. Aloorhead. has declared his intention to support his old leader Gen. Grant, and will take occasions at an early day to present his reasons to the public.

Old Dick Wilson, a Democrat with Frank's feelings had a passion for wandering about tho hills and forests, and liked to boast that he knew all ahout roots and herbs. He was frequently employed to bring to tbe frugal house wives the sassafras, winter green, &.., kc, for their root beer. On one occasion, Dr. II called on Dick, and handing him large basket, desired him to go to a certain spot, about two miles distant, and bring him a quantity of snails, adding, "Be as quick as you can, Dick, for I'm in a bur ry. In the deepening twilight of the long June day Dick appeared, and after carefully setting down his basket, seated himself with an air of utter weariness on the threshold of the open door. "Well, Dick, aid the Doctor, "did you get the mails?" "Look in tbe basket, Doctor," said Dick. The Doctor looked, and to his vexation was only two or three miser able "specimens' on the bottom of tho basket, and exclaimed irefully, "Why, Dick, what docs this mean? ironically adding, "were there no snails there?" "Oh, yes, said Dick-, "plenty on era there, Doctor, but it was $uch hard icork 'em doucn!" to run The "West and South,' an ultra Cop perhead organ, issued in Cincmncti, has correspondent in this State who thus do floes his position: 'I am a State Rights Democrat to the following extent: I believe in Radical Democracy of tbe Jeffersonian school would, had I the power, repudiate the great "national" ewtodle fthe Nationa Debt.

THE CONTEST BEFORE US. BT UOTtACK QREELET. The re-election of Abraham Lincoln was an immense and overwhelming triumph. The vote of twenty-two States against three of nine-tenths of the electors with a popular majority of 400,000 combine to render the victory all but unparalleled. Yet a change of 36,000 votes in certain States would have given thepresidency to McClellao, and the country to the rebels. How tremendous an issue to bans on the doubts and vacillations of 30,000 wavering votes in a poll of four millions. . .We are within a few weeks of another presidential election. Tho last decided that the rebels should not divide the country, we are now to determine that they shall not have it all. Tho -shipe of the question is changed, but its importance is nowise diminished. They who, a few years ago, tore down and trampled on the flag of our Union, now wave it over their columns, advancing to storm the Capitol. The White House is already in their interest; they mean to keep thut, and add to it whatever remains to-day in loyal hands. Should they triumph, it exceedingly .probable that Grant, and Sherman and Sheridan will be required, for the next four years to receive their orders from Uobcrt Toombs or Howell Cobb, as Secretary of War. It is quite possible that Gen. Forrest may claim and bo accorded to the War Department. I certainly would not object to the full est amnesty for bygone offenses. It is tha restoration of power to the unchanged rebel spirit that is deprecated. The authors and inspirers oMhe rebellion 'excited alarm by explicitly proclaiming

themselves the esme to day as in 1SG2. They were faithful to tbe Union so long as it subserved their ends; when its helm was transferred to other hands, they did their utmost to scuttle and wreok the ship. If it is now restored to their guidance, they will sail it as before, but, if not, then. Not one of the millions of rebel supporters of Seymour and Blair regard their election otherwise than as a recovery by other means of what they loit by their defeats at Fort Donelson, Vickbburg, Gettysburg, and Appomatox. We have conquered tho physical force of the Rebellion; we have now to triumph over its ideas. We have to prove that its difcomfiture on so many hard-fought fields was the harbinger of a humaner era an age wherein tho reign of justice to the weakest and humblest should supersede tbe deification of mere force. We bave now to prove that Republican ascendancy implies and involves prosperity lor all tectums, through the reran of Or der, Iudustry, and Thrift. As vet, the South is convulsed by the tiope of a restoration, in effect, of the slave-holding regime. Her Whites too generally loathe the thought of addressing themselves in earnest to manual la bor. I hey were so long comforted and dignified by assurances from the pulpit, the journal, the stump that God made Blacks for the field, the kitchen, the shop, and Whites to direot their labors and en joy the fruits thereof, that they are slow to be reconciled to a diticreiit dispensation. They must have the verdict of the battle field confirmed by that of the ballot-box, before they can accept it as final. There is no other portion of the Amer ican People to whom the election of Grant and Coltax will prove ao beocficiont as to the Southern W lutes. They need this to dispel their illusions. They need to be thoroughly convinced that Lquality of Rights is henceforth tbe unchangeable law of American Nationality. They need to be conviuced beyond relapse that they are never more to profit by Black labor, unless they render a satisfactory .equiva lent for it not to some White owner, but to tho laborer himself. When the Southern Whites shall be prepared to say to the Blacks, "Your rights are tbe saino as ours. Henceforth we prosper or suffer as one people," the prosperity and rapid growth of the South will have been assured, lite whole coun try will nourish, because ot tno new impulse civen to Southern progress in every W ' useful art, and in the wealth whereof these are the springs. Every good word and work for the South awaits the election of Grant. But the devils that bave today possessed her must evince their nature by tearing and rending ere they ccme out of her. They aro causing her to foam at the mouth to-day. She needs extornal aid to issue her complete and prompt de. lircrar.ee." Tho Republicans are summoned to an ordeal more difficult than they can be made to realize. They are too generally inclined to fancy the election of Grant and Colfax already assured. So far is this from the fact that they are this hour in peril of defeat. They will surely be beaten if their steadfast supporters are not speedily aroused to general and in tense activity. We must triumph. The progress of civilization, tho dearest intereats of humanity, require it, yet we shall not triumph unless wo work as the great mass of us have not yet worked to insute their election. We have to poll our very last vote in half the States many more than we have ever yet polled in the belt of States beginning with Connecticut and extending through New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio to Indiana or Seymour will be our next President. We shall triumph; but the work which will insure that triumph is yet to be done. We bave some five thousand Grant clubs organized; we must Lave thirty thousand. Most of ua take newspapers; we must see thatevery voter who will need it is promptly provided with some good Republican journal. We have perhaps one million men aotively zealous in the cause; we must increase the number to two millions, and these laust gather and glean half a million additional voters from those who are now indifferent or hostile to out success.

All this implies such a canvass at, has never yet been made in our countri but one that we are able to make. Our farmers have thus far been absorbed in tie la bors of the season; they are just -trgio Ing to find time to breathe and think. Between this day and the lat of Sotero her we should have a Grant club '.organized in every township and ward, Uh. a working committee for each electing district.

We have recently called attention to fact that the Democratio party of the South is taking very similar grounds to those held by them in 18G0. During the campaigu of that year they threatened revolution if Lincolo was .elected, and the period between his election and his inauguration was employed in maturing their plans of revolution, and in preparing for war against the Government. On the Cth of November Lincoln was sleeted. On the 7th the United States officials in Charleston resigned. On the 10th Hammond and Chesnut resigned their places in the United States Senate. On the 20th of December South Carolina adopted the Ordinance of Dissolution. State after State "went out," until May, 1SG1. the whole South was "fteo and in dependent" a condition from which they were rather violently shaken some few years after, by one Ulysses Grant. During the canvass of 18C0 it will be remembered that Southern orators and presses made the threats, which they sub sequently endeavored to make good. The exact point then- made was that Mr. Bu charuu was to be relied upon to "let the Union slide," and 'the doctrine of his message that tho power to coerco a State has not been delegated .to Congress or to any other deparfment of the Federal Government, was anticipated. In October, 18CO, the Charleston Mercury used the following language: "Mr. Lincoln will not bo installed in office before the 5th of March next. Long before this time the Southern States will have determined their course; and if this course shall be a secession from the Union by one one or moio Southern States, Mr. ltuchaiiau will lmvo to guidd th curit of the General Government to-lucet it. If he thinks that a State has a right to secede from the Union, of course he can not order any portion of the United States armv or navy against a seceding State. If he attempts coercion, every Southern man in his Cabinet, and in tbe army and navy, will doubtless leave them. Congress has no power to control tho President's views of the Constitution, and tha duty it involves. . "Beforo Mesrs. Lincoln and Hamlin can be installed in Washington as President and Vice President of the United States, the Southern States, can dissolve peaceably (we know what we say) their union with the North. Mr. Lincoln and his Abolition cohorts will have no South to reign over. Their game would be blocked. The foundation of their organization would be taken away; and, left to the tender mercies of a baffled, furious, and troubled North, they would bo cursed and crushed as the flagitious cause of the disasters around them. But if we submit, and do not dissolve onr union with the North, we make the triumph of our destruction." This exposes the general outline of the plans, and how well it was carried out is fresh in the memory of our readers. The point taken this year is, that a Democratio President will effect the coming revolution, and restore the control of the Southern States to the former rebels. Thus Frank Blair saya in his Rroadhead letter: "We cannot undo the Radical plan of reconstruction by Congressional action; the Senato will continuo a bar to its repeal. Must we submit to it? How can it be overthrown? It can ouly be overthrown by the authority of tho Kxecutivo, who is sworn to maintain tho Constitution, and who will fiil to do his duty if he allows the Constitution to perish under a series of Congressional enactments which are in palpable violation of its fundamental principles. . ' "If the President elected by the Democracy enforces or permits others to enforco these reconstruction acts, the Radicals by the accession of twenty spurious Senators and fifty Representatives will coatrol both branches of Congress, and his administration will be as powerless as the present one of Mr. Johnson. "There is but one way to restore the Government and the Constitution, and that is for the President elect to declare those acts null and void, compel the army to lyido its usurpations at the South, disperse the carpet-bag State Governments, allow the white people to reorganize their own governments, and elect Senators and Representatives. The House of Representatives will contain a majority of Democrats from the North, and they will admit Representatives elected by the white people ef the South, and with the co-operation of the President it will not be sufficient to compel the Senate to submit once more to the obligations of the Constitution." This work is to be done by the "Pres ident elected bv the Democracy," and if Mr. Seymour is not elected, they hope that the present Executive will undertake the task. A few days sgo tbe Charleston Mercu

ry addressed itself to tho duty of showing

how the reorganization desired by it and its friends eoutd be effected. Tbe white people "mean peaceably to meet in Con vention, probably recommended by the legislators of their former legitimate State Governments, and in such Convention form a Constitution for the government of these States." This is said to be a rightful privilege of the people, and to the objection that the "negro governments in the Southern States" would not allow tbe whites to assemble, the Mercury says: "Suppose that this is done, doos it af ford any ground for their support by the would most probaoiy answer, to any application to bim by tbe nerogovemr tnts tot assistance: "Io tuy opinion, your ovcrnment, In the first place, is unconstitutional and revolutionary, and therefore I declioo to recognise your application; and, in the second place, you violate the Con slitution of the United States in endeavoring by force to pievent peaceable assemblies by the people." Such an auswer, in our judgment would secure a peaceful progress of events." The whites then would proceed to frame a Constitution and elect State officers and Representatives in Congress. "This," it fcignificantly adds, "can be done by the fourth of March next." Then a new Congress will bave been elected. It will be Democratic, so the Mercury believes. What then? . "Tho white men's representative? ,ill be admitted. In the Senate it will be different; but a Democratic Executive will certainly regard the action of the House of Representativea as the .controlling authority to determine his duty." The Mercury then adds that "if the negro Governments shall lawlessly en deavor to prevent the peaceable assemblies of the whites," tho whites will take care of themselves, only asking the Federal Government to stand aloof. In any event it observes, "the white population will form a Republican Government, and send Repicsentatives to Congress? This is a clear revolt against the laws of Congress, and is not only recommended by the Democratio candidate for Vice President, but engerly seized upon and adopted by the leaders of Southern thought. The Reconstruction acts are to be defied; the Southern States are to be carried bv a white vote, and the Presidential electors bo chosen are to demand a count in the Electoral College. On the 10th of July, Wade Hampton said, in this city: "We can have no relief unless the Democratio party will come out and pledge it self that the white people of the .South shall vote. I want you all to register an oath, when they do vote, their vote shall be counted, and if there is a majority of white voles, that you will place' Seymour and Blair in the White House, in spite of all the bayonents that shall be brought against them." .Sa euch is tbe programme, and, as we have shown day after day, by copious ex tracts from Southern speeches; this pro gramme is that upon which the Southern heart is set. It reminds us of 18G0, let us see to it that Graut is elected and-Sey mour defeated, so that Peace, and not Revolution, shall be the heritage of our immediate future. No Joke. When we say that tbe Democratio party is responsible for the late war, and its re suits, we mean no ld.o jest, we mean every word of it, and aro able to prove it. It was a Democrat that made the first threat of war. A Democrat stole the the first gun. A Democrat first toie down the United States flag. A Democrat fired the first shot. A Democrat was President ot tue socalled Confederacy. A Democrat was its Vice President. Democrats commanded its armies. Democrats apologized for the war; and now Democrats have the effrontery to say the whole contest was caused by Republicans. Was thcro ever so mueh infernal impu dence displayed by any party since tbe world begun, as by this modern Democratic part)? The nation is (3.000.000,000 in debt, for every dollar of which the Democratic party is responsible. We aro taxed upon almost everything wo eat, or drink, or wear, and for every cent of such taxes the Democratio party U responsible. The taxes are caused by the National debt; the National debt wan caused by the . i . wart tno war was commenced ana carrica on by tbe Democratio party; therefore they are responsible for everything that grows out of the war. Let no one forget this when his Democratic neighbor speaks of high taxes. Still They Come. Judge Alexander Rives, of Virginia, has come out earnestly for Grant and Col fax. He has long been a Conservative. The letter of Hon. J. S. Carlisle, of Virginia, giving his reasons for abandoning the Derne vaey, is a strong document. Regarding the work of tho Democratie Convention, it pays: "I had hoped and expected that the action of the New York Convention would have entitled the nominees to the support of the Conservative Union men. Had its members pledged themselves to tho maintenance of the right of local self-gojernment in the Stales as secured by the Constitution, and nominated as their Presidential candidate a roan of undoubted Unionism, who believed in the right of tha Government to protect itself and enforce its lawful authority, I should have voted for ita nominees. This was not done. On the con trary it is my opinion that Hendricks was defeated because he was not a believer io the right of secession. The war record of Hancock defeated him. Mr. Valland-

igham's patriotism nominated Seymour and crushed the aspirationa of the Chief Justice. The friends of tbe lost cause triumphed over the Unioiostn of tha Con vention, and the strife of the battlefield is to be renewed and to be fought out at the ballot box. Peace or War. If Gen. Grant shall be elected President, no man fears, or even affects to fear, a reign of violence or terroritm. No ex isting government will be overturned or subverted. No person or class to enfranchised will be deprived of political rights. On the contrary, the work of enfranchisement will move steadily, rapidly j on, till every disability will have bceo rt rjoviil. The marked assassins who now r .--.' r.i"ht U V -i at tha Soutl" will 'JLik.iUfiJ i'....a' r; u.'t quit, xnAwll . do it. The thrVe Statea which hive not yet framed and adopted free constitutions, will close on the work forth with, and be again represented in Congreaa. There upon Military rule trill cease in those as it has done in tbe seven Statea already reconstructed, and the few aoldera remaining in the South will be simply servants and backer of the civil power. Four years of Grant ahead will be like Iba four years more of Lincoln decreed by the people in 1664, when the Rebels saw in bis re-election a fixed retolve of tbe loyal States to fight four years longer if necessary, and thereupon concluded that they might ss well give it op. .The reelection of Lincoln was Peace, though Seymour & Co. insisted that it involved interminable War. So tho election of Grant will insure the removal of all remaining Southern disabilities by caring the spirit and arresting tbe outrages which have rendered restrictions indispensable. If Grant shall be elected there is do vengeance to be glutted, nothing established to be subverted, do class to be deprived of their rights Uis ehction will ba due notice that violence and outrage must cease, that school houses must no longer be burned and may safely be built, that there is to be education in every State and for every clas's, and that the farmer, of whatever hue, may henceforth plow and sow in full assurance that he shall harvest and enjoy. There is not in tho South an acre of land, a coal bed, a water lall, that will not be increased io value by" tbe news of Gen. Grant's election, Should Seymour unhappily be chosen, there is not an implacable Rebel in America who will not believe and feel that the cause which was lost on the battle field has been regained at the polls that tbe verdict of the ballot-boxes has reversed that of Gettysburg, Mission Ridge, Atlanta, and Appomattox. "You have bad ua under these three years," they will say to their Uuion neighbors; "now it is our turn. "We will show you who is master now!" And they will drive out "the car pet-baggers," as they call tbe Unionist who have migrated from the North, hunting them as though they wera Wolves. We know this, for they threaten it not one, merely, but thousands of them and are sure to be as bad as their word. They did hunt our peopje out in the Spring of 1801, killing them by scores; and they are to-day unchanged in spirit and character. Were Seymour's election assured, the Yankee teachers of Black children, Bureau agents, ic, &e., in the South, could not live there another week. They would be hunted and killed precisely as the Blacks were in New York City in the great Democratie uprising of July, 18G3. The Blacks would not fare to badly if they bent abjectly to the storm; but let one of them approach the ballot-box with intent to vote, and he would have a knife thrust into his body, law or no law. The Frank Blair revolution would be complcted within a. month after the Rebels bad chosen a President after their own heart; and thenceforth no "carpet-bagger" or "scalawag" could open bis head at the South and live. Every one who stayed there would swear that he was a zealous Seymourite, and ready to rip up every "nigger" who should presume to offer a vote. We do not believe it probable that Reaction and Aristocracy the right of the cunning and strong to do as they will with the simple and weak are about to triumph in this Republic. The calamity would be so profound'and pervading that we are sure tho country cannot afford it. There is no industry, there is no legitimate business, which docs not imperatively require the election of Grant and Colfax, and we do not apprehend National suicide. fShelbyvitle Union, Republican Economy Democratio Lies. The Democratic papers, which a shame less defiance of truth, which is too frequent, have asserted and reiterated that the military expenses of the Government since the war, have exceeded $820,000, 000 and that the National debt has actually increased some hundreds of millions. The letter of Mr. David A. Welle forever repels these calumnies, which must, if persisted in, fix upon the men making them, the brand of wilful liars. From the first of April, 1863, to June 30, 18CS, the entire military expenses of the Government were $ 917,117,043, of which eeven-tenths, amounting to $647,CS8,000 were used for paying off the soldiers as they were mustered out of service, and for bounties, leaving for the thirty months only 8297,000,000, an average of 9103,000,000 annually, which expenditure has been largely reduced. Tbe expenditure of the Navy Department for the same time was S113;119,296 37. about half of which was paid out in 18C5 to seamen, leaving tbe service. These expenditures henceforth will be less. For the fiscal year, ending the 30th of June, the aggregate receipts of revenue were $406.600,000 and the aggregate expenses. $371.500,000.

Since tbe war, about 1100,000,000 tt taxes have been repealed, and $250,000,000 of debt paid; the annual intereat of which is 151,000,000. The expenses of tha FreeJmen's Bureau a little ticeed five millions, and those incident to reconstruction are lea than two and a half million dollars. These statesments dispose of tha entire mass of charges made by Governor Seymour and the scoundrels who got op his speech for htm. They also show that tie Republican msjority in Cccgrrei havt acted with an honest and steady t urpos to reduce the pnbUe burdens aud taaiatain the faitb of the nation. The Negro Vote. In all Democratio "demonstrations1, tharbt-bra made in tbe State daring thepending" campaign th-nti "nigger" idea has been paraded with as much prominence aa in tbe olden time. Their speakers bave vied aith each other io burling tba bitterest invectives upon the heads of tbe colored race. Hendricks, in bis eighth of January speech, gave tha key note in a low, vile demagogical appeal to tba basest passions of his basest lellowers; an appeal which, if it had any meaning at all, was simply a yell for "nigger" extermination. Other speaker from Vooibeea down to Dittemore have) taken up the strain and rung all tha changes oo tbe old, old tbeme uf Demo cratie hatred of "ihe nigger." Torchlight processions have been radiant with mottoes illustrative of Democratic fear of negro equality. Bann era aad transparencies innumerable bave abown bow low and beastiai a Democratie human being ean be when gored to desperation by tha tha bauuting nightmare of "nigger equality. In all this, the Democracy of Indiana have strangely ignored tbe fact that tbe party hopes to Carry th'o Presidential election by negro votea. Neither their speakers nor their papers have dared to tell the masses whom they sre trying to educate down to 'nigger' extermination that their friends in the rebel States sre most assiduously courting tba negro vote, and that their leaders tn that section, the men who were most prominent io the New York Convention, are busily engaged in organizing "Colored Conservative Clubs" and in doing all that can be done by any and every possible means to se cure the co-operation of the negroes in their csupaign. Nor la it likely that their efforts will ba entirely unsuccessful. There are many advantages in their handa, not tbe least of which is the fact that nine tenths of tha property in ten States is in the hands of those who ear ried on tha rebellion, men who are prepared to nee that property to secure the triumph of tbe principles they fought for during tba four yeara of dire war. Io Hampton's speech at Cbarlestown, ha announcea the rebel programme. Il is this: "Organize Clubs in every locality; send speakers through the land to arouse tbe peojle. Try to convince the negro that we are hia true friends; but if he will not be convinced, and is still joined to hia idols, convince him, at least, that he must look to idola whom he serves as his gods to feed and clothe him. Agree among; yourselves, and act firmly on this agreement, that you will not employ any one who votes the Radical ticket. Use all tha means that are placed in your hands to control this element by which -the Radical patty seek to degrade ui whilst they secure success, and we can turn their batteries against themselves." Heie we have, from the lips of sn acknowledged leader, of great prominence in tbe late Democratio National Convention, the man who dictated whatever ha pleastd of the platform, tha plain declaration that the negro must vote the Demtcratio ticket or starve. A more satan o utterance never came from human lip?; tnd yet it is tbe true spirit of modern Democracy;" the same, spirit that woufd be manifested in thia State and in this (ity if the party should find itself so situa'cd as to require, and be able to con trol, the negro vote. Looking Ahead. We once fell in with a business man: and he was a person of wide experience, too, who said that, whatever might happen to him, he always looked sixty daya ahead, rather than sixty days behind. This wss sensible, and there wss profound philosophy In it. For the habit cf looking on the dark side of matters soon begets a despondent feeling in the heart and disinclines a man to make airy exertion at all. To look forward to better days, however, and to a turn of fortune) for better times, is naturally calculated to inspire one, with enthusiasm, to stimulate one with the new wine of hope. It makesall imaginable difference whether a man. desponds or hopes. Hence, when a blast of trouble comes, the true way is to turn. your back upon it, to refuse to have anything to do with it, to forswear all connection with its threats or promises. Look ahead and look up! what is gone, iav gone, there is no help for it. Work for better fortunes, and the bad will desert you in absolute disgust at jeur uuimpressibility. Put up or Shut up. The editor of the Howard Tribune, published at Koknmo, notifies Democrats in that county wanting to bet that Grant and Colfax will not gel a msjority of all the electoral votes to call upon him, bo will take them where all tbe money they caa raise will ba put op. "A Republican of Kokorno will bet that he can name thirty States and will put op ten or one hundred dollars on each State' named that Grant will carry it. He will give any Democrat ten per cent, in ad vance on tbe whole amount taken who I will secure another Democrat fool enouch A . . . I. . .1 I io las mr fci.
