A Rhymin? Editorial. Once upon time, no matter whether That time is past, or is to come, or present, Twonel-fhborsnat, to pass away foul weather. In friendly chit-chat by the fireside pleaeant. One was a Copperhead. No doubt he was One whopivfvrred his Lord to master Sambo, And foroue moment of the Union as it was, Would give an age of Abolition jumbo. T'other wa a Had, and no doubt he wan One who loved the modern pospel preachlnir. Which in the churches, a you heard it, was But a rigmarole of Abolition teaching Both were farmers : and from their dress 'tin certain Tlfv had no -orpins in th bank at present, A ml" a tue Ji.ifht showed dimly through the curtain Their faces wore a look by no means pleasant.

'I well rcmi-rnVr when they to Im, Notjhalf so hiu'h as they are at present." 'True." savs Cop, that"? as it ikI to be. Those Democratic days wer very pleasant."' Rad did not seem to like this rude interpolation Into the tenor of his half-way musing. And sat a moment In a dtepr meditation Reflecting on the cause of all hia loosing. Atleusth he poke. "But now the war in over; Why should the taxes rule mountaiu high? It seems to mc that this eternal pother About the nigger, is almost run dry." -It i rot hard to tell the rea why." Heplied the Cop. "If you'll think upon It. And the day is surely drawing ntirh When every man will hare tothiuk u-nm it. "We've had a war, and we've freed t!i nijjer, But now we have to pay the cost of all : The bankers lent us money, and now with rigor For interest on the bonds they presH the call. "Greenbacks are good they say for you and I, To get enough of them Is our praver. 'Bui cold for int'rept on our bonds," they cry, 'To pay ns in such stuff is hardly fair.' "And now we have the Freed man's Bnreau too Which costs about eleven millions more. And many other items, old and new. Which press upon ns still with burden sore. "Protection is a pig from the same sow. Which costs us more than we can rightly guess. It ilocs not n.ean protect the pMr man's cow. But means protection to the rich man's mess.

Frc.1T, Fo, To Ihc Prisoners or Stale.' Friends ! Permit me to submit, for your consideration, suggestions which have come to iny uiiod with singular force during these passing day?. I propose that (men) citizens of the United Stated, who have suffered imprisonment, or bauishi.ient, at the behest of arbitrary power since the accession of Abraham Lincolu, shall meet in convention in the city ol New York, on the -2d day of February next, 1808, at 12 o'clock, M. That each shall, on or before said day, furnish a statement of tho facta and circumstances attending his arrest, place where, and time when, by whom, and by whose order, when confined, and how long, when released, age, nationality and occupation, what charge or charges, if any, if tried upon charges, before what tribuual, and what was the result of the trial name the members of the tribunals. If banished, when bmished, ho long, by whose order. Yomti, of whom there are many noble instances, are requested to hand their statements to some ueir friend who will faithfully transmit them. If any are d-ad, or arc out of the country, theu some friend knowing the facts should present them. Editors whoe journals were suppressed, excluded from the maili, or othwisc interfered with by the .same power, are in like minner requested to make complete statements of facts and circumLf,nonj T, nnt clinnftaAfl W 1..W persons will deem themselves to be contemplated in this regard who were myr1 midons or minions of the coverument," 1 but who chanced to incur its displeasure. It is especially desired to ktlOW who WCTfe called to sufTer throu-h direct orders of Mr. Lincoln, 3Ir. Johnson, Mr. Stantou, by the sweet-toned insinuations of that "little bell," by the Frovost Marshal, the General in command, and the "shoulderstraps" of every like. These facts are valuable material for the faithful historian who shall emblazon his glowing pages with the story ol the progress of a great nationalism to a still high er greatness, and hence the exact truth must be stated. But it is expected that each statement will be accompanied by such views as the victim niav entertain in regird to the action of "the government" in Iiis or her regard. Friends ! You will ask wherefore these suggestions ? The reasons are common to all of us, and we will tell them now. We would speak, else we be deemed guilty of the accusations recorded against us, but whereof we arc innocent. AVe owe it to our fair names among?! good men ; to our children ; to the memory of our lives; to our country. Who would stand amongst his fellows accused of treason, and by silence accept the shame' This is our country; we have not been false to her, not even in thought. Her glory has been dur boat, her honor our pride. She lies prostrate and bleeding, while usurpation, impelled by fanaticism and lut of power, scents to establish itself upon the ruins of a republic of exalted States. Subtile and cunning in its early essays, it played upon the trembling hopes of an honest, confiding people ; now, through indulgence, it has become defiant, and our liberties are in its grasp. Opposed to this power, which arrogates to itself the dignity of the republic of our fathers, and wields its terrible energies without the sanction of its venerated Constitution, is a party whose leaders, for the most part, did strike hands with the despotism which has trampled upon our dearest lights; yet, we will tnut them, while we invoke in their behalt the spirit which inspired the rcsplendeut deeds of other days. Come, and let us reason together; let js review the past, and try our principles by the touchstone of experience. It may bo that we fchall le heard, since the clamor of deadly strife is hushed, when we shall utter the words cf truth and solemn warning, and some welcome strain, unheard since long ago, way fall upon some willing car..

Samuel II. Cox on the Result of

the Late Elect Ion--Plilloo-phlcal Advice. Hon. S. S. Cox has been making a speech in Uuffalo, Xew York. It is characterized by the funny pleasantry and wit that always distinguished his efforts. In alluding to the elections, he thus reminds the Radicals of the uses of minorities, discoursing of them most philosophically. He says : 'I would especially congratulate you, nij unrepentant, truculent Radicals, that you are marching on, with melancholy music and furled flag, to take that place so long audso honorably occupied by the Democracy the position of a rc3pectable minority! Do not undervalue the position ! In it you may earn the plaudit of Artemus Ward to General Washington : 'lie was useful.' Mr. Emerson, the transcendentalism, said at Cambridge, this summer, that there was great utility and hope in a minority. The right and e :ercise of criticism the virtue that disdains to follow power, to fatten on its rottenness, the independent and aggressive dash, are the attributes of an honorable and untcrrificd minority. These may be yours. The hour comcth when our majority will dictate political action; be sure we will not lessen your usefulness by following your example. We will not ostracise where we caunot answer. We will not villipcnd where we can not praise. We will not inpri?on where we can not agree. We wili not mob where we can uot argue. We will not teach forbearance to the south while forgetting it to our neighbors. We will try and be as Chtp:.iao in the future as in the past! " i one sense, it is quite pleasant to be in the minority, lou not only escape responsibilities and troubles, but you escape the cry of the vultures and the jackals, who follow the live lion till he drops You will find minority a healthy state. No party ever needed it more. I hope you will prepare for its duties better than you did for those of the majority." js.it when he comes to Ohio, our old friend is brilliantly poetical as well as philosophical. He says : "To swamp forty thousand of the republican majorities of last year; to gain in nearly every county; to defeat black suffrage by thirty-five thousand ; and to elect a democratic legislature ana unseat tne president of the senate, senator Wade, was rather astonishing! It is said that in New Zealand there is a splendid flower, white as a lily, which, when its petals open to the sun, resounds with ths report of artillery in the tropical forces. This 13 the way Ohio has effloresced I Is she not white and radiant: ihe thunder tlurcof, is it not the very music of the spheres ? 'Yet it is sad to see even the fall come, though it brings us the fruits. The russet leaves, the gray morn, the fading flowers, the voiceless birds, and the wind ruyaning its requiem over the grave ot summer, are a part of that Providential order which regards as well the fall of a little sparrow as of a groat party. My radical friend, you have beeu Uded to seeking the ways of Providence through political events. Study them with this election in view, and tell me ifl am uot right when I say. 'God is holding you over hell for some wise purpose.' He may not drop you. Perhaps I might, m my finite view of vour deserts. Whether he does or not, may depend upou the quality of your pantaloons. If they are shoddy, farewell ! If he suspends you for a time, to inhale the incense aud hear the applause of the pit, it may be as a warning not to draw your politics from hate and malice, which do not come from above, but follow us in ine ucuiguaui luafiuii-) all." .1. - t . - -' . i i. of good will to Jacobin ami Indians. The radicals are cultivating niggers and exterminating Indians. In this policy they are certainly doing themselves a grievous injury. They are injuring themselves, because the Indians can be made voters ; and, as all know, the supreme object of r&dicalism is votes. The Indians would not only make voters, but radical voters. The Indian is by nature an abolitionist. He will scalp white men, but he will uot scalp negroes. The white radical braves are scalping white men, women and children indiscriminately in the south. They scalp no negroes. Does not this trait show that there is an intimate likeness between the nature of the Indian and your radical ? Again, in looking over the names which the children of nature have selected for themselves, there occurs another . marked resemblance to certain radical features and peculiarities. Thus, at tho late errand pow wow there was present a big Injun kuowu as "Sitting Rear." Undoubtedly this is an orthogiaphical perversion of "Sitting Rare," and reminds ono unmistakably of the indecent radical rump which sits in Washington. Of the same connection is another chief known as "Ovcr-thc-Rüttes." In "Kicking-Eagle" we discover another resemblance to the radical bird of freedom; a bird which cnee did some tall screaming, but which is now reduced to an ungraceful recalcitrant biped. Then there was -'Stinking Saddle Cloth," a relative and close imitator, no doubt, of the great radical General I'ope, who once, for so long a time, had his celebrated "headquarters in the saddle." "Little Horn" has recognizable radical characteristics; as has "Poor Man;" and likewise "Rear Runs Over a Man," which refers to the black supremacy which radicalism is trying to establish over white men in the south. "Rig Rone" is of course the material from which to make a Jacobin editor an orator ; while "Crown" represents the dcspotiMii or centralism which oldThad. Stevens and company are trying to establish over the country. "Satana" is the visible exponent of the presiding goo ins of black republicanism ; and " Parted Lips" the emblem of the open-mouthed, brawling demagogues who have control of the "God aud humanity party." From th jso example", our Jacobin fel-low-citizens will sco that, after the Africans, their next best allies are the Indians, and that, in destroying them, they are wasting the raw material of Jacobin vote S ( ' Hitijn Tim .

Gen. Grant a Candidate Bar

Itlft Is Wlllln'. Tho parsons, who seem to have an apostolic keennes-s of sceut for the loaves and fishes beyond any political pointer that sniffs up the odor of trood things from afur, have been after General Grant, offering him the Presidency, and prognosticating his election with the prophetic spi rit that always inhabits the corporeal tabernacle of the Lord's nnnointed. Grant was rather non-committal, the spirit not having moved him at the moment; but he ; has since expressed his willingness to as sume any rcsponsibtlif tho people may impose upon him. This places hun in the race, so far as his own wishes are concerned. The KepuWican papers come out in i irrcat numbers in favor of his adontion as the party-candidate. It is a strange fact that this expression of sentiment in favor of Grant as a Radical candidate followed immediately after the thrashing the party met with in the late State elections. The Tribune denoun?es tli attempt to force him on the party, and still sticks to Cha-e, notwithstanding the repudiation of his doctrines and the decapitation of the nigger by his owu State. Whether the parties thus coquetting will separate in a lover's quarrel, or fall into each other's arms, the capricious character of the terdcr passion renders a matter of doubt. Rut there's man' a slip between cup and lip, and there is no telling what new developments may take place during the next twelve months. Grant's present position is rather dubious, as he appears to perform the duties of the War Department in a sort of mechanical way which does not afford very decided evidence of what his views are on the "joints in controversy between the political parties. We can hardly believe, however, that he would undertake to lead Radicalism, and at its head attempt to storm the ramparts of the Constitution and bombard the Union. Kvcu his fame would fail to inspire confidence in that enterprise. If he will use his influence to restore the supremacy of law over military usurpation, to maintain the local independence of tho States, the rights of all classes aud the supremacy of the white man, he can be President as easy as he coulJ roll off a log; but with a Radical programme to carry out, he will have as much chance to reach the President's chair as a shad would have to ascend a greased liberty-pole. A. Y. Mercury. Was it Repudiation ? On the 17th of July, I8f7, an act was passed authorizing a " national loan and for other purposes," and acting under the provisions of that law the subscription agent of the government issued proposals for the new National loan, bearing intercut at the rate of seven and three-tenths per cent, per annum. The announcement was made that " pursuant to i ist rretions from the Secretary' of the Treasury," these evidences of indebtedness should be in the shape of notes redeemable at the end of three years in gold, and that the interest would be pa d semi-annually, at the mint als in Kold. Holders had the option, at the time their bonds matured, of converting them into six percent, gold bearing bonds, having twenty years to run. This was a plain contract, and theso seven-thirties, as thev were sfvled. were the first application made by the Government to the people f..r a loan. For two and a half years tho interest was promptly paid in gold. Rut at the date of maturity, in LSG I, payment of the principal was declined, and also the interest remaining due on the same, except on condition that the principal would be taken in Ieal tender notes, then at a dis count of from fifty to .sixty per cent, as compared with gold. An application to the Treasury Department was cavalierly responded to, despite the solemnly pledged faith of the nation, by the Assistant Secretary, who said that the seven-thirties were " considered on a parity with all the temporary loans of the government, all of which it had been a settled custom of the Department to pay in lawful money." This is a plain statement of the facts, and we give them without comment. We leave off as we begin, with the query, " Was it repudiation ? "and if the answer is in the affirmative, " Who are the Repuators?" Phil. Ay. "I,o! the Poor Indian!" A Correspondent of the -Springfield li'jtufluan, who is among the Arkansas Indiaus, aud does uot like the "noble savage," says : "As he is usually pictured with a dignified countenance, resembling Daniel Webster about the time he said, "As for mc, givf: me liberty," we may as well tell you that he looks like the Kvil One, minus horns and hoofs. An utterly depraved, diabolical countenance, so filthy that it is alive with something besides animation ol expression, the shrewdest of inky eyes, and the look of Shylock bargaining for the pound of flesh. His very smile is like the grin of a skull, which Victor Hugo calls the satire of laughter." Of the wife of a chief he says : "Mrs. Rlack Kettle is a hag beside whom Meg Mcrrillcs is a Venus, and the Witch of Kudor a Hebe. She is a survivor of the Chivington massacre, and has ten bullet holes in her body; but there is enough of her, such as it is, to stand it." Wc I'ioIcM. Uudcr the above caption, the Macou, Georgia, Telegraph thus portray;! the persistent misrepresentations of Northern papers and radical orators in regard to tho sentiments and purposes of the Southern people: "It is discouraging to the hearts of those who honestly desire to see the country once more united and at peace, to see respectable journals at the North still using the language of ribaldry and falsehood when they refer to the Southern peo--1. v.

What right has it to characterize people who have given every evidence of their desire for peace, as enemies of the country'' It i.i rither grnsfdy ignorant f pub-

lie sentiment at the South, or it wilfully

and malignantly falsifies it. It can take either horn of the dilemma it chooses. It is in this way that the peop!e of the North are deceived and the feelings of apprehension and hatred kept up between the two sections. What is to become of the country if this agitation of party demagogues is ever to continue and the truth studiously be concealed from the people? How is it possible for the hatchet ever to be buried so long as leading journals of the North persist in misrepresenting everything South, and make their readers believe and act upon a lie ? We appeal to the Republican press to cease this unfair and unpatriotic mode of warfare. It is corrupting to society and destructive of every public interest. There is nc feeling of hostility to the Union at the South. It is hard that because we protest against oppression and oppose legislation which the legislators themselves concede is without warrant in the Constitution, wc should be set down as disloyal, refractory, and inimical to the country. There is no justice, no truth, not even common honesty and manhood in this disreputable and disorganizing mode of warfare. It is a shameless insult to ihe public intelligence, and an imposition on the popular credulity. It may triumph for a time, but as sure as there is a God to vindicate the riiht, these slanders will 'come home to roost.' " Shakespeare lor Radicals. SCENE The Great Bueheyc Graveyard.

The Cincinnati Commercial gives the following specimen of radical oratory : The Hon. James M. Ashley, the distinguished gent'eman who smashed the impeachment movement in the Thirty-ninth Congress by making a speech in favor of it, is giving the benefit of his talent to the Republican cause in Western New York. Saturday night he spoke in James Hall, RufTalo. On the financial question he referred to the exemption of incomes of less than 81.000. As to taxes he displayed his ultimate knowledge of the whole subject and his popular proclivities in the remarks following : "Tobacco, whisky, wine and cigars are taxed a trifle; silks, satins and gewgaws, etc , bear the brunt of the taxes. The man who dresses his wife out in silks that she may flame out, and who will drink his bottle of wine, at five dollars a bottle, ought tc pay." Applause If we repudiate, Mr. Ashley said, it would, among other calamities, bring upon us foreign war, and : "Well let them comejon.the fellows say, rolling up their sleeves while their eyes stick out like snow balls on a barn door. Oh yes, you are mighty brave now, but. I remember when you bellowed like a sucking calf for peace, peace." Thus Mr. Ashley smote the rascals on all sides. When he came to the question he observed : negro "During the war 4,400,000 men stood by the stars and stripes which had always been the flag of stripes to them. " That may be so, but it strikes us there are rather too many negroes in the estimate. Four millions four hundred thousand black men indicate a total negro population of at least twenty millions. We doubt the existence of t hat number upou this continent. 4 lluv 1.03a IVegroes Treat Otlier Darkeys. Four negroes men pregnant with suffrage and the loyal league victrms of ignorance and delusion, entered our town in military custody on Saturday afternoon last, coming from the Ridge. The leaguo had invaded, with force and arms, tho premises of our well-known fellow-citizen, Rurrcll Roatwright, Esq., of the Ridge, for the purpose of arresting another nigger who was not a leaguer. The latter, it is said, had n difficulty with a leaguer, and the president of the league had issued despotic orders lor his arreat dead or alive; and for this purpose had appointed a pquad of ten men, all of the household offiith. These ten, of whom the president himself, Moses Johnson, was head and leader, armed to the teeth, presented themselves at Roatwrijrht'n to seize the infidel in Mr. Roatwnght's service. Young Sumpter Roatwright remonstrated with them, and induced them in sonic way or other to quit the premises ; and, upon their doing so, reported the case to hcadquaitcrs. Maj.

.cgro Insurrection. The ar prehensions of a rising of the negroes may or may not be well founded, with reference to any particular locality, at the present time. Rut apprehensions having reference to the dispositions of the negroes to rise, and the probabilities that they will do so, at some time, are well established. 'Ihe teachings of radicalism in general, with respect to equality aud the superiority of the nego over the southern whites; and of Thad. Stevens, Huuicutt, and other republicans in particular, with reference to confiscation, will just as surely produce an uprising among the negroes as that the sun gives light. Tbc whole ccgro population of the south is organized into secret associations, many of whom are armed, and all of whom are ready to obey any instructions which may be issued by their leaders. Kvery ralical newspaper which reaches thein from the north Is filled with denunciatious of tho southern whites, and fulsome eulogies of the sooty cattle whose votes are wanted for the next radical presidential candidate. Incited by these accounts, the negroes have come to believe that they arc the salt of the southern soil, and that the extermination of their whits neighbors would be God-service. It is certain that, if there be not a negro insurrection, it will not be the fault of the scoundrelly demagogues in the north whose lipi and newspapers ar2 constantly filled with malignant lies

concerning the south. It is true that these lies are not for the purpose of inci ting the negroes to riot, but for the sake of keeping the syuipat' y aud votes cf their radical dupes here in the north Whether intended or not, the effect upon the negro is the same, and will end in his attempting to possess himself of the effects of the "disloyal" and '-traitorous" white men by whom he is surrounded. Such an attempt, although lamentable beyond all conception, will not be without its compensations. It will be drowned iu the blood of those who are the actors in it, and sharing their suffocation will be many of the white wretches whose teachings are hurrying this country toward the condition of a St. Domingo. Chicago Times. Tlic Question Falsely Stated. We take the following from the St, Louis Democrat (lladical) : "The most cosdly way to pay a debt is to repudiate it. To pay in greenbacks a sum which we have promised to pay in coin is repudiation." The question is falsely stated by the Democrat. The Government never promj i?cd to pay the five-twenty bonds, amount ing to near 2,000,000,000, in com. Those words "in coiu" are in ten-forty, bonds, but vrere left out of the five-twenty bouds because it was designed that they sluuld be paid iu legal-tenders. The teaforty bonds were advertised by the Government, in nearly all the paper of the United States, as the ;;ouIy botjds whose principal was payable iu coin." They were taken by the capitalists upon the strength t f that representation. The legal-tender act provides that all debts, public as well as private, can be paid in greenbacks, except interest on the public debt and custom-house duties. The Dtmotrat, therefore, as the organ of the bondholders, proposes ty pay in gold that which the government promised to pay in greenbacks. It proposes that the people ehall be swindled out of some 500,000,000, coustitutiugthe difference between golJand legal -tenders, on the $2,000,000,000 iu fivetweuty bonds. This sum, of which the people are to be robbed, is to be made a present gratuitously to the bondholders. We are against this wholesale stealiuir for the many for the bcuefit of the few. We are agaiust the Government paying debts iu coin that it ouly promised to pay in legal tenders. We arc for adhering to tho contract with the bondholders. The Democrat is for repudiating it, in order to get something better for their benefit. That is the issue between us correctly stated. Cin. Enq. A Capital lilt. Gov. Seymour, in a recent speech in Rrooklyn, New York, gave a most apt illustration of the radical policy of regulating all the thoughts aud actions of men by a law. He says : " Our republican friends believe in the power of govern meut to do that which we believe is best done by every man's own honest convictions cf right. Rut I assert in the lauguage of Milton, who was not ouly a great poet, but a great statesman, that you can have no great civilization in any laud where men are co creed in all actions of their life. 1 once asked a gentleman if he bolievcd in the system of coercion po completely that if a man would not drink for ten years because the law would not let him, he would be a temperance man thereafter. He said he did. I said, Suppose you make a law bo perfect that he would not be guilty of any misdemeanor whatever, would you not consider that better still?' Ho said he would, Suppoo you make a law so perfect that V.e shill rise, retire, read his bible every day iu his bedroom, and go to church every Sunday, engage in no immoral conversation, and be subjected to no temptations would not that be the perfection of your system ? ' He admitted that it would. 4 Well, toy friend,' said I, if ynu go down to Sing-Sin you will find a thousand men there living under your system, and if ono of them escaped to morrow and your house was burned, he would bo the first man you would arrest.' " As Sing-Sing is the location of one cf the State Prisons in New York, the hit was palpable, and called forth roars of laughter aud shouti of applause. Cin. Eng. TlIE Tempt ranee Vlatfortn (la.), discoursed as follows in relation to the "foreign-born " vote : " The Republican part)' eanuot rely on foroign-born voters for support. Therefore, in God's name, let ns have no more truckling to the ruru-cl!ers no more courting of the Germans. Let the whole herd of tho devil's swine gu down into the sea togclher." Germans, how do jmi like it ?
