Last Statement of a

I ▼fie Traitor!

The nanghty and the Humble. The late tour Of the President has brought to the surface, to the public view, a growlngj spirit in this count y which has, more than any one thing, strangled out liberty In ther countries of foe old world. WWhave reference to the establishment, or effort to estab-11-h, classes of society, in England tbe nobll-t ity, and in Ireland the aristocracy of land holders, crush down beneath their titles, offlclal patronage and wealth all febo arc outside of their class, all who by the accident of birth may not belong to their set. Further east its baleful influence acts ae aa incubus, a dead weight upon all social and political peepns. Look at India, at China, at Japan. In these countries there has been no progress for bun.

dreds of years.

In the earlier days of the republic men were honored for their ability and eminent services to the country. Now, in every direction, ws s:o dally evidence of efforts to create and fostT n aristocracy of wealth—especially In cities, and among ahoddyites who have beeu puffed into importance at the expense of the people through radical official favoritism. This spirit of snobbery, puffery, and haughty onccithas increased wonderfully under the carefal nursing of radical pap and patronage. Wc see the evidence in the receptions of President Johnson. He sprang from tbe ranks of the poor and kumble in llfo. He can not boast •DTSfnrrT fo-ratic lino of ancestor*. Indeed, be rathpr boasts, of his humble origin. This boast, oodflsh aristocracy, sboddyitet and upper fens can not forgive. It brings before their minds, And they fear might too palpably remind an Inquiring public of the obsetmty of their own pedigrso/ Therefore we wltnese their disgraceful condnct, In city governments and State governments, wherever they dafe do so, in refusing to receive or recognize ope who daily recurs to that which they are as continually seeking to forget, namely, tpi cMBHnteaeee Of birth. The State authorities tff PnM sylvan la, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois arfd Missouri. Tbe city authorities of Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, Springfield, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Pittsburg, alt Ffed with each ether In attempts to crush down the President. They could not brook Ms continued appeals to the people as tbe source of all power. They, 'therefore, set themselves up as a barrier over Which they supposed he could not pais. /They' In their heady vanity, supposed he must depend upon them. That they e«4A£wlll whether he should be welcomed or not. They reckoned but little «pon the hundreds of thousands of timeMMm of tell, Who move In tbe bumbler walks of life, and each of whdm, in hti owe kearv reeogMgea Mr. Johnson as their true representative. Thud It was, that wheiHho. haughty ef the laid refused to extendto Mm theretoe of welcome, tbe bard fisted laboring, tax paying, people, from whom vaakv inast spring the muAet hearing defenders of the flag, come up In tea* of thousands to greet him In hla passage

through tholood. a

But hie tour fairly divided the ranks of the teogtity who refused ttojvplcomo om of the people; and of the humble who ruehod forward fo rscojrj.ftg^ # Tbe rebellion was but a more logical, eyetemdtts aaeertloif of tho doetfEM, "This is a white man’s Government,” as embodied in tbe Dred Scott decision and Stephens’ "cornerstone” speech at Scvannoferj Jyhtte a rebel adhere* to the mistaken fundamental notions tbatmarfe him a rebel, we wouldn’t give 2W6« n „J° r v ” From the above It wiU he,.seen the leading paper of tbe radical party—the miscegenation

With the permission of a generous publte, the undersigned would make this eoofosrioa of Ms sins, crime*, treasonable acts sad ■ meaner*, that tbs minds of its populaos may bs sat at rest. Having been charged with the murder of a President, tbs killing of several soldiers, etCb,eto, perhaps It Is beet that the truth should he known, aa follows: I began my lufemou* career July 27,1817, when I murdered, la dotd bfeod, the McRay family, te Bow Jessqy. On this occasion I murdered seven men and wounded tbe dog, realizing four dollars and a shilling. In 18271 shot a minister in Boston dead, for saying that Christ died for Shreers, when tbe BlMs says Hs stilt liras, fin 18381 murdered my gran4motber with a codes mill, for her gold spectacle*. In 1830 I poisoned a district school with arsenic, Ailing ninety-two innocent graves. I killed General Taylor, and at> tempted to poison Buchanan la Washington te 1857. I strangled Jane McCord, killed Cblonel Colt, induced John Brown to die in his Virginia loveliness, end murdered Jenkins In Kansas for a Mt of pleasantry. In 1881 lint attempted the life of the late lamented Lin. coin, but he saved himself by adopting a disguise. I killed Burdell, and tried to stab Anna Dickinson, but her friend Fred. Doug, lass saved her life. During the war I killed •even hundred soldiers at one shot with a single barreled revolver; mobbed over two hundred printing offices; destroyed nearly ten thousand lovely girls, and maimed for Hfe an equal number of soldiers wives. In 18841 again murdered Mr. A. Lincoln. I also murdered the Coosa family In Ohio, frfo I to shoot President Johnson In India..-vollS; tried to bilck hi* most excellent and virtuous excellency Governor Merton off a railroad track, but failed. I have now over twenty thousand Innocent persons reptetog for the bloody consummation of my villainies, and with these are a few rid men Rut reHerad from bastlles, on whom I first practice my hellish arts before engaging In the wholesale work as above noted.

This la all a base fabrication, an unmitigated falsehood, circulated for the purpose of Injuring me in the rithaMfon ofay friends, I have never received money for political pur-

Well, to return to the Republican reporter, ho did what no other jmtl'Mandid on board, end that was to bore General Grant on politi. eal matters. General Rawlings, Senator Pet

W. W. Worden, Mr. Chadwick, * ' General Coster,

t,) werh in the lapudem e, and

srill indorse what I here aay. Said the reporter: M General, la tint speeeh as reported in the Cincinnati Enquirer true? did you make

any such remarks?”

"Well.” said tbe General," to the best of my

knowledge, the substance of my reply to the

committee Is as has been published.” "Word for word as was published la tbe

Enquirer—tot you know. General, that's a nasty rebel ibeetr’ Impudently remarked the

reporter.

‘ ** be not word for word,” said tbe Genut the sub*tinea la aa baa been puban! OranetarneS partly away from

him In his seat.

" What Inference shell we put upon It, Gen

eral?” continued the bore.

" There altogether your own matter—you any place whet inference you please upon At this juncture the reporter turned around and witnessed the displeasure of tbe entire party, and especially of General KswIingR and Senator Patterson; he carried on tne balance of Ms conversation in a lower tone, and cut it short; after which be retired to the end of the ear, and wrote rigorously for half an hour. He again approached Grant and asked him a question, and again retired and put blmaelf vigorously to work. Grant did Mtbeskon Mm as he falsely write*, but gave him the cold shoulder throughout. Whether

itever in his statements, be brought to light, aa

there Is any truth whatever will probably never be brougl

General Grant will not even be urged Into polttflee tirough the process ef contradiction.

Nobody wbo waa aboard of that train, howevery, believed a word of what appeared In the Republican,lmX they do know that General Grant waa exceedingly annoyed at this impudent reporter, and that he was ordered off

'ten train in consequence.

In conclusion, I will state that be wbo attempts to give this and that aa tbe political opinion* of General Grant le an Imposter. If Ae will not" open ” to hie chief of staff, (who, by the way, it an uncompromising Johnson man, and ceres not who knows it,) and others, who are associated with Mm upon terms of the closest friendship and intimacy, is it likely that he would unboeom Mnuelf to a newspaper reporter, when be has never seen before and knows nothing about? I think not. We may eatertote our own Impression* of Gent Grant, ho merer, sad without imposition disrespect. I bare my own opinion ofGeaeral Grant, and feel qrite sure that he bee rid himself of poll tic* totally and forever. In feet, we may rest ourselves forever on that score. In reply to Captain Baker, et the theater. In

Cincinnati, he said:

" Sir,. I am no politician. The President of the United State* Is my eommander-tn-cMef. I eoBB^Utr tbis dMMMlratftoii in oDDotition to the President of the United States, Andrew Johnson. If you hew any regard for me you wilt take year men Rway. f am greatly annoyed at tM* demonstration. 1 came her* to enjoy the theatrical performance, j will be Mad to see yon ail te-morrow when the Presi-

dent arrives.”

But Is there any question whether or not General Grant Indorses the President’s policy of restoration and reconstruction? Thera need h»none. feet,he helped the lamented Lincoln inaugurate what la better known as Johnson’s pofiey, and' it ode week’s time be pardehed and paroled more men than Johnson has daring Ms entire administration. His own efleiai report, from which I extract two paragraphs, shows cotrelnsivelr that be eordlaUy supports the Prasident’s policy, and that there fe no difference ef opinion existing between them regarding the proper mode of

treating repentant rebels:

# * * J am satisfied that the mass ef thinking men of the South accept the present situation cf qf airs as oood faith. Tbe question* which bare heretofore divided the

Tbe "Southern Loyalists” seem to hare multiplied at an alanting rate. Wn hear of them tn every direction, almost every town in the State to having Hs receptions of a Southern loyalist.

Fault was found with the President, Mr. H. said, for s too liberal exercise of the pardcuring power-that be had pardoned too toray rebels. It was true he had pardoned a good many, but the number was greatly exagerated. Those who condemned the President for n too free use of the p-irdoning power, j should recollect that General Grant, for whom they profened to have great respect, had pardoned rebels on a much larger scale than th« President—having granted pardons to thirty thousand officer* and men of the armies of Johnson and Ue. et om time.

man on ble own " book.” He is simply watching for e chance to steal something—watching for an opportunity to thrust hia dirty bands elbow deep into the money bags of tbe treasury—watching for another flBnjMEjob, cooked up for his sspecial benefit, by a partisan Legislature. lionet watchmen are watching that watchman, and If he doesn’t " watch out” he will come to grief. .Haas Fleeting nt fteyrewnr. There will be a great gathering of the conservative and Democratic masses at Seymour on the 4th of October. General Rousseau end Governor Jacobs, of Kentucky, Hon. D. W. Voorhxes, Hon- 8. E. Pnuuxs, of this State, and Hon. W. A. Richardson, of Illinois, will address the meeting in English, while Hon. Charles Rkemelin and Joseph C. Eu.lky will talk to the Genn.no* In their native

tongue.

ZIT The radical* in the southern part of the State have got up anew thing to "preserve tbe fruits,” and ere now holding a “ haversack convention ” at Cory don. The name le appropriate. The haversack Is n "dingus” used by soldiers for stowing away grub end miscellaneous articles of “ loot *’ which are not too weighty for transportation. It le meet that the party which has so good an eye for subsistence and plunder should adopt the hsversack as sn emblem.

tW Tbe Gazette represents a radical mass meeting at Lebanon as having been addressed for one mortal hour by J. M. Hiatt, of this city That Is the severest “teatof loyalty” we have ever heard of. The bowels of the Lebanon radicals must be made of adamant to stand such fearful boring. But we don’t belter* U. An hour’s speech from Hiatt would scatter the cedars of Lebanon quicker than n tornado.

There were a variety of causes which co-operated to secure lie rejection. Some members were opposed to imposlog any term* aa conditions precedent to the a.hnn.ton of representatives. Others did not wish to go before the country tmder anv distinct pledge upon the subject. Some were willing to admit a state whcuuvcr it* Legislature would ratify the amendment, and others wi»hed,to tnsiit that the amendment shoe Id first become part mad parcel of the Const!tu non.

the constitutional amendmet.

The Freoteet.

Accounts from all sections agree that the recant freshet was one of the largest and most destructive that has occurred within tbe memora of any person now living. On the Miami, White river and Wabash bottoms the desolation ia reported as complete—the crops, !-tock, fences, and in many instances tbe building* are swept away, the land alone being left, barren and desolate. The loss of human life is not as large, however, as was apprehended, nor as might have been expected, but hundreds of families have lost everything even to

their clothing.

8o far as we have been able to ascertain the destruction along Blue river is not so bail as was apprehended. The feneea are nearly all gone, and many field* of corn are badly damaged, more especially where the water was just deep enough to float the driftwood, which broke down tbe corn, but where the water was so deep a* to cover the tops of the corn, the drift floated over, doing but little damage. A gentleman who has been along the bottoms informs us that it is an inside estimate that not over one-third* and probably but onefourth of the corn is down. The danger to be apprehended though it from the continuous wet weather. Thexorn has been thoroughly soaked and unless it shall have an opportunity to dry out there is danger of its souring. There has been a considerable toss of stock— more especially hogs—bat by whom or how many we can net, as yet, definitely ascertain. It has been s sod calamity, and will impoverish many a family heretofore in easy if not affluent circumstance*. The landholder may In time recover from the loee, as his land to yet left, and in many instances with rich deposits that will Insure abundant crops in the future, but the loss falls with crushing and irreparable loss upon the poor renter, wbo has not only lost toe avails of his year's labor, but in too many instances the herd accumulation of years; he to left without any resource whatever to fall back upon, Ms family homeless and destitute. It is to be hoped and presumed that those more fortunate in escaping to* denolotion wiU contribute of their means to the alleviation of the wants and sufferings of these

unfortunates.

A dispatch from Salem, Oregon, dated Saturday, says: Tbe Democratic contestant* from Grant county have been admitted to teat* tn toe H >uae, and two radical member* ousted. It was through the aid of toe latter members that the (rmetituttonal amendment was paased in the House, it had previously passed the Senate. The Senatorial election comes op on

Tuesday.

"Support Congress,” to the radical cry. We should tiunk, says the Frovidenge PoeA Congress had token care of itself pretty well, an they voted toemaelvn §4.000 each extra pay for thetr two years’ arduous serviees in keeping the Union divided. And the.people hava got to pay this in taxes. That to quite enough for the people to do In the matter of “ supporting Congress.”
