BE voil,. xxx T I aiii.i: .speixii or Gen. It. C.SCIIEXCK, At Portsmouth, Ohio. On Thursday, August 17th, there was a great Soldier's Barbacue at Dtigan's Grove, Scioto county, near Poi tsmouth, at which the- people were addressed by Gen. 11. C. Sehenck with his accustomed power. After a happy introduction, followed by an exposition of the condition of the South, in which he showed that the spirit of rebellion is still unsubdued, and taking ground that the reconstruction of the rebel States should not be hurried until the late rebel had shown themselves fitted for re union with loyal people. General Sehenck recurred to the experiments of reconstruction which are now being tried by President Johnson, and said ; PRESIDENT JOHNSON 9 KXPkitlalfcXTS. And in reference to those experiments I may be allowed to say here, that I had an interview with the President just before I left Washington, some ten days ago, before coming home to meet my fellow citizens in the canvass for the approaching election. I sought that interview for the special purpose of informing myself as to his views in reference to the Executive power, and his general purpose as to the restoration of the rebellious States. I knew the frankness of his character, his devotion to his country, and the energy with which, having determined in his own mind, what is right, he would pursue ti to the end; I knew the resolve which he boldly exressed on the floor of the Senate, in in the commencement of this struggle, denouncing the traitors as they deserved; and I knew that, though he might make some mistake, there could be no mistake about his patriotism, and that that resolution would be carried out to its fullest extent. With this confidence in our chief ruler I sought an interview with him In that interview I cxpresed to him the doubt and jealousy that existed in the minds of the people of the country, and especially in the minds of people of Ohio doubts whether under the policy he had adopted, we were not going too fast in bringing back by hurried processes these rebel States into full communion with those that had never left the Union fold. I told him that that doubt might, perhaps, rest on a misunderstanding as to the extent to which he proposed to earrv that policy. I said, and I think you : 1 1 t nr.. . : .. i. . : I ...... : c 7" J""1? . . " n IS purpose was CO esiauiisu temporary Miovernments, experimental in tneir nature, by the appointment ot these pro visional olficers, iu order to test their dis position to go ahead, and come back in good faith, and with the full purpose of abiding by their obligations to the National ijovcrntueut; and if, in addition to that, he proosed to keep enough of the military power stationed in different parts of the lute rebellious States to supervise their conduct, and reach forward the strong hand, if necessary, to keep them in the right way, we would be satisfied with such experiments. And, moreover, I said we would be better satisfied still if we should definitely understand that it was no purpose of the Kxecutive to forestall the action of Congress the representatives of the people, but that when they should assemble and determine whether, in addiliou to having their local Kxecutive privileges in the States, these people were ready to teturn to full communion with the Government, by being represented in the counsels of the nation. I am glad to be able to say that the assurance I had from the President justifies me in saying that, although this was the policy meant to pursue, it was only au experiment. He said that he had no purpose of interfering with the action of Congress ; the experiments being made were but a preparation of these people for abetter and more improved condition And so far as keeping a wati-h over them by armed force is concerned, he pointed to what had taken place in Richmond, Virginia, and assured me that where they acted in bad faith, by selecting men for otlice because they were rebels, the miii tarv would be ready to sweep away their work. Cheers With this understanding, I. for one. as a citizen of Ohio, and representing a portion of her people, stand here to day, giving my unqualified support to the course pursued now by our President, intending to wait aud see whnt will be the outcome of this erring people. AMKXDUSXT OF STATE CONSTITUTIONS. The twoheresies of free government, the seeds of evil from which have grown rII our late troubles, without argument or illustration. I mav assume vou all un derstand to be secession and slavery The doctrine that one member of this National Government may, at its picas ure, break up the whole organization and carrv ns back to chaos, is a doctrine that must be abandoned bv everv insurrect ionary State before it can be regarded as in a urorer condition to be restored to an equal position with the rest of the : States. The institution of slavery, that accursed mother of all the pride and ari roganee and deviltry which led to the reieliion, must lso be abandoned as a i thing not only not to be tolerated, but as I prohibited Ly the orgauio law of the I State. VT should expect, therefore, S thatt every Constitution submitted to ns under this new state of thing, shall nleave this nuestioa in doubt, but sballeontain. in language explicit, and terms undeniable, prohibitions of these things, u 1 There was a tune wuen an men unaerstool the principle and pnrpose of this repuMiean governiuent to be what we apprehend it to be. Then, it might not have seemed necei.ary to write elown these prohibitions; but thai tiaie has passed.. We have seen the evil of perniittia,; these things ta exist by inference and to avoid such infetences in the future, we shall require everything to be written down iu the bocd itself, that these things are riven P Cheers.

RICIUIOIYD, WAYXE CO., IX.,

ABJCKATIOX OP SLAVERY SION. AND 3KCK3This has been so manifestly important that alicady in three of the States whose Constitutions have been framed or modified since the rebellion commenced, it has been so stipulated. The Constitution of West Virginia, contains a denial of the right of secessiou as well as the right of fclavery ; and that glorious youngest daughter of the sisterhood, born in the midst of rebellion, and feelins? the necessity of guarding against what has endangered its life in its very cradle, lias written down in iier Constitution turf: neither slavery nor secession is to be regarded as permissible. And j Maryland, "my Maryland' who has ! come out as through the from the midst of this evil, when she came to modify her Constitution, abolished tfie one and i prohibited the other, as rruilful sources of mischief and danger. After rpioting from the New Constituof Maryland, which acknowledges the paramount authority of the National Government, and stating that we shall insist upon the acknowledgement of this doctrine by the rebel States Gen. Sehenck continued : AMENDMENT OF THE Rl'LK." "THKEfc-FIlTUS j Hut the people of the Southern States may. after having adopted their amended j Constitutions, change them and abjure i this doctrine. Therefore it is that I, as I one of your representatives, shall not only insist that no Representative from the j late rebel States shall take a seat alongj side of me in the National Congress uu , til slavery and secession shall have been j given up, ami the record of the fact ini corporatcd in their fundamental law, but ' I shall go further. I do not stop there. 't I shall require, as a measure absolutely essential to lie aaoptea before 1 ca.i agree that these pi-oplc shall be restored to their old relations, and have an equal share with us in the government of our common country, the abrogation of a rule that has always given them the up per hand of us. The matter to which I allude touches upon a most delicate question, but I approach it franklv and boldly. Everybody knows how, during the progress of this rebellion, we have had ( to contrast black patriotism with white j , reoels. l-veryh Kly Knows that while the j white people of the South have nearly unanimously lifted their parricidal hands I to strike down our national flag and desI troy the Government it lepresents, that the poor, oppressed, and down-troddeu ' black men, even the slaves upon their J plantations, have sympathized with our j Union soldiers, and served them in every possible way. Everybody knows that j not only has this been their universal ' disposition toward the Union cause, but f in the dark hours of the nation's trial. t when the struggle was so evenly balaui ced that th c worst fate was feared for our cause, these blacks were called noon i to furnish tneir arms, their hearts, their life-blood in the contest that was to settle our common destiny. And this day, I we have more than one hundred thousand of them bearing their muskets, u.ii der the stars and stripes of our country. ' Something, therefore, is due to them, how it shall be paid is a question j et to be decided. The President has thought ' it well, in attempting to lead these iusur- ! reetionary States b.iek, to interfere as little as possible with the laws of their ' several States. He has, therefore, while i calling upon them to present Constitu- ' tions that shall be satisfactory to the rest ! of the nation, asked that they be present ed as coming ii'om tuose wno possesses the riTl)t Of Sllflrao-e before the rebellion I and' were willing now to purge them- 1 Selves of the disabilities to which they j have recently been subjected. We know ... t. ft . n. o xr i not what sort ot Consti.utions tht may i present; whether they will provide for j tiie enlranchisement ol their late slaves or whether they will continue to deny it ' to them. Hut I tak? the bold stand here and am prepared to maintain it, that ! when they present their Constitutions, whether they provide for negroes voting S or not, until a further condition is com ! plied with I shall still oppose their rej admission to the privileges of the other ! , States. As far as voting is coneerue 1, I j am free to admit that I would lather j ' have the vote'f a black man with a ; ! white heart than the vote of a while man i with a black and rebellions heart. j f Cheers Uut lam not willing to re- j iceive either of them yet. fllenewedi ' cheers. I am for keeping thein all out ! vet awhile. I am for waiting until the i j work is finished until, I have proof of; ! such disposition on the part of the rebels j I as will insure that no other rebellion will I (break out and destroy our peace audi s prosperity. ! Now, how- can we have this assurance? I I say that we must advance slowly ; that as in the origin of the Government, so , iu the re construction or restoration of the Government, the process is slow, and I can only be accomplished well by taking j time to it. I have heretofore said, and I j repeat it here, that the reflection does not I disturb me that we must thus wait. 1 t do not deem it essential that South Carl olina, Georgia Florida, and the rest of the f roh.-d Slate hnnl.l bi in full conirnnnion with the rest of the Union this year, or next year, or even five or ten years

MOM)

ENDS THOU A1M ST AT, BE THY think we. as the representatives of the people in Congress, should also require before they return to equal, privileges with ourselves. Before introducing to yon that proposition I would make this further general remark, that it has always seemed to me an idle thing to speculate and dis pute about what might never give us trouble if we were to wait awhile. It has seemed to me idle to borrow care from out the dark future, and make it the oe casion of present trouble, when that very care, as we approach it, rnaj' entirely disappear. There was great philosophy in one of the resolutions of the late Union Convention at Columbus: "That it was wise to wait the solution of time and the loic of events"; wise, in other word, to wait for growth and crj-slalization. and not expect growth and crvstalization to take place in an instant or an hour. ; Therefore it is that I said I am one of the i waiters. The reason why I would rath- : er wait in this casein, that new wood i may grow in the3e Southern States, I which would be preferable to setting np j a ricketty frame work out of old and rotten timber. Cheers In this coudij tion of things, therefore. I deem it wise, i when you see a matter of duty right beI fore you. to do that thing which seems j clearly right, and leave the results to God and Ids providence. I see my way ! clear to say there shall be no more secesj sion and no more slavery, and that these j provisions shall be incorporated into the I Constitutions of the rebel States ; and I I see just as clearly that, in order to sej cure perpetual adherence to these proJ visions, a further step must be taken, j which I will now explain. You know j that it is written in our oraranic law j that the people of the several States shall j have representation in Congress, based i upon a computation of all the free inhnbitants. including apprentices, and excluding Indians not taxed, and adding: to j that computation three fifths of all other persons. Everybody knows what this means, and how it has been applied. In ! addition to the free men and women, constituting the population of the eountry, there were in a number of the States ' another class, coming under the denomI ination of "other persons," known as African Slaves. Under that rule the South ! lias not only counted all her white and tree people, in making up her basis of representation in Congress, but she has been allowed a representation upon three fifths of her slaves. How han this worked? Most unequally to the free Sut-a those sUues that have alwarj been loyal an 1 sustained the Government. Hut being written in the lion.l. we tnoi bv it ; an 1 nil itj li I. to ir. oJm to tue SSonth. was that, alth this hani birain, we want no mtra of it, bv exteutling tue simt principle io tie new St:ite form 1 out of the Territories.

SEPT. 79 18G5. The Labor Movement. i The co operation system of laborers, ! I which is now attracting so much attenj tioi in the United States. ! Rochdale, England. The origiaated at i history of it ! is briefly as follows : j In October, 144, the Rochdale Equitahie Pioneers Co-operative Society form i ally began its operations. This society originally consisted of twenty eight 1 weavers, who, by weekly contributions i of two pence (for cents ) each raised jS a-, the capital for their trading operations. Including Scotland, the present number of those associations is believed to be (about eight hundred, the members two I hundred thousand, and their capital more I than a million sterling, or more than 87,j 000,COO in the currency of this country, j The originators of the society took a j shop iu a back street called Tood Lane, at a rent of 850. Their first cashier, William Cooper, is yet the chief superintendent of their concerns. Aft?r getting up the shop only about $70 remained j with which to buy goods. In fact, it is i said a wheel barrow would have held the ! entire stock. They did not understand j the trade, and the result was consideraj hie loss from bad management. Perseverance and intelligence soon triumphed, ' however, and after restricting all sales to cash principles, and getting rid of dis- ! honest managers, the society finally per- ! maueutly established itself. The pio

I neers whose number was now increased , resigned the entire proceeds uv the to forty resolved to put together their j specku'ashen to me. The degraded i 23, or S140, in the year 1S14, in order j wretch, devoid uv every principle into establish a shop where they might honor, blowed on me. and we wnz both

, buy genuine groceries and other uecessai ry articles at a moderate rate. They were determined to buy and sell for j cash only, to be careful as to the integrity of those whom they employed knowing, j that, if these conditions were fuliillej, j they would always have cither their money or their stock of goods. The j number of their members increased every j year until ls3'2. when, through the press ', me of our rebellion and the cotton fain j ine. it decreased from 3. 900 to 3.501. " Iu . ls45, it had 74 members ; in 1S10, it had I 80 ; in 1S47, 110, and finally until, iu I 1SG3. this association alone had 4,01:1 I members. The funds, which were only 2, or 8140, in P 14.") ; f"2.V2 in 1S40 11, were 1SI : and L4 .3tU, in or ". about 824(5.000. in 10.5 Tlie business ! increased from 710 ( s;J ,")." ) in 1s4 j to : l"'Ni.t)32 (8703,000) in lSi,3, and in the &:iiue tunc, tue i.iii- . uv. . .ii.i. 22 (8160) to 19,071 (80S.000). Besides shops like these described above, I there are iu Great Britain grist mills, j manufactories of boots and hoes, catJ ton and woollen goods, locks and hard- ( ware, conducted more or less on the cooperative principle. I In the United States there is no genj end system of this character, but the i present agitation among the industrial classes is designed to inaugurate this co- , operative system. Various attempts 1 have been made, in New York and Ciu ! cinuati, to carry out this principle, but ; they have failed, in consequence of bad ! management. The main object of the present agitation is to secure proper compensation to labor, by reducing the hours of labor to eight, and the problem with which Working. Men have to deal is, whether the reduction of hours can lie accomplish! l without corresponding rej d iction of wages. The Working Men of Massachusetts are now grappling with j ! that subject. If they succeed, the ques- j 1 tion ill be solved.

It will be within our own borders, in our streets, between the two classes of citizens to whom I have re - forred.

The spirit breathed in this traitorous letter cropped out ia the organization of 'Copperhead conspiracies, chief of which ! were the organization of the Sons of Libt erty, and the American Knights.

There were, at that period, about 40,000 slaves in South Carolina. Whatever were the induce- ! ments held out to thc slaves, they were successful, and quite a large number became fugitive slaves. Petween the two colonies, belonging todifTerent Governments, there was"no fugitive slave law for their return. A regiment was organized, which was composed of these runaways. It was officered by Spaniards, but the negroes composing thc rank and file wore the same uniform as the Spanish soldiers and received the same pay. Iu November, 1775, the revolution having assumed a serious character, the British Governor of Virginia, Lord Dunmore, issued a proclamation in behalf of the royal interests, calling all classes i Ol me Klllir -s suuietn muy iu uu t- . i i i - . . , . l.:,. 1 t. to all who should espouse the King s ; cause and maintain it by force of arma. j Freeing and arming the negroes was a j war measure nearly a century ago, and i that in Virginia, under British authority. !

The Qualification of Suffrage. The Rochester Democrat, a journal iu Western New York, where the anti-slavery sentiment has a strong hold, takes ground in favor of intelligence as the essential qualification of all voters, and for inserting it in thc Constitution. Thia principle U making rapid progress. No one, so far as we have seen, has objected to it. Politicians, who arc always afraid of a principle until they know it is likely to prove a winning card with thc game they are playing, hinder its progress w ith political organizations, but not ith the people. It is but a question of time and the friends of the principle can afford to wait. When they have got . through making a foot ball of thc question of suilrage, ami are forced to say, what they now feel, that immediate, unqualified enfranchisement of all the negroes everywhere is neither safe nor politic ; when they are compelled to take some distinct ground on the question ot' suffrage, because it can be no longer dodged, even this class of public characters will be for thc principle, ami we will then have our conventions and part3' or" gans honestly asserting what is even now privately admitted to bo lotli right and expedient. We can afford to wait. l'ittsburp Cointntrrial. Romance on the Rail. A pretty little bit of romance developed itself in one of the State utrect cars on Friday. Among the passenger was u pale, quiet, little woman, plainly drcttsed, and very pretty withal. Presently a one legged soldier labored into thc car on bin crutuUen. The aeata wars crowd- , -.-cd, and the soldier had to utand. The young woman got up, pulled the blue sleeve and pointed to the scat he bad vacated. For the first time, as he turned, she bad a full view of his face, and neither of them paid any more attention to the empty seat. They started at one another a minute, and then, iu spite of the awkward motion of the car, embraced and kissed each other with hysterical fervor. At first, the passengers were . somewhat astonished at so public a demonstration ; but ull of them soon joined iu congratulating the delighted couple upon learning that the two persons thus suddenly brought together were man and wife, long separated by the vicissitudes of war. The soldier had been desperately wounded in Tennessee -and taken prisoner. lie was supposed to have been killed, and before he was restored to freedom and able to write, his wife, or widow, as she supposed her self, removed to Chicago, and so hi.s letters never reached her. The poor fellow, as soon as he could travel, set out for home, with a desponding heart, to learu why his letteas had never been answered lie reached Chicago on Friday, on his way thither, when thc generous impulse of a kind little woman to a maimed soldier, brought her back a loving husband, and threw him into the open arms of a w ife ho had long mourned him as anvapg that innumerable host who have lain down their lives for the salvation of their country. CU'vago Republican. Ax Aita k itv Faciltiak. The grave N. V. Comiix rc'uil Advertiser allows itself to get iuto a very mellow raood over the failure of the cable, and bays: By the way, would it not be well to watch that buoy r "Boys will be boy and this buy may iusist upon beiug & buoy, aud a fast buoy, at that fast in a rapid sense we mean. It may remain to mark the burial place of the broken end of the cable, and it may get into the current of dissipation and be as fast as some of our New York buoys have lately been. Boys do not feel like being tied to their mother's apron fetrings, and this buoy may feel iuclned to go roaming, and not remain attached to 2,400 fathoms of cable, and a "mushroom" waiting for the Great Eastern to get better "picking up" machinery. We would suggest that De Santy be sent out to watch that buoy. He is just the boy to do it, and, placed astride the buoy can shout, 'Mt is all right" to his "Heart's Content." Then we can be informed by telegraph that De Sauty "is in good health and spirit" and exploring the boundless "Felds" of the ocean. "Record it."
