The Democracy will get along nicely in this Presidential campaign -without "AndyV feeble help. The Jacobins have tied his hands and stripped him of power.

THE Columbus Journal, in an article reviewing the "rebel programme bouth, says "A sufficient number of negroes in eight of the Southern States will be forced to vote with their rebel employers, to carry theae States for tho JBLAiR-and-rebel-lion ticket. This should be learned before tho November election, not after."

THE Constitution of the United States has been three times amended since its original ratification. The first amendment contained twelve articles. The second amendment, published as Article Thirteen, abolishes slavory. The tnird amend_ ment, Article Fourteen, defining citizen, ship, regulating representation, &c., is familiar to our readers.

The Democratic papers, with a shameless defiance of truth, v&ich 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.WELLS forever repels these calumnies, which must, if persisted in, fix upon the men making them, tho brand of wilful liars.

From the 1st 1st of April, 1865, to June 30, 1868. the entire military expenses of the Government were $tU7,l 17,043, of which seven-tenths, amounting to $647,6SS,000, were used for paying off the soldiers as they were mustered out of service, and for bounties leaviog for the thirty months only $279,000,000, an average of $108,000,000 annually, which expenditure has since been largely reduced.

The expenditures of the Navy Department for the same time were $113,119,296 37, about half of which was paid out in 1865, to seamen leaving the serviceThese expenditures henceforth will be less.

For the fiscal year, ending the 30th of June, tho aggregate receipts of revenue were $406,600,000, and the aggregate expenses, $371,500,000. Of tho latter amount $16,000,000 were applied to defray accumulated interest bn the compound interest notes, and

$125,000,000

for the other

interest. Since the "war. about $170,000,000 of tftxea'have been repealed, and $250,000,• v000 of debt paid the annual interest of which is $151,000,000.

The expenses of the Freedmen's Bureau a little exceed fivo millions, and those incident to reconstruction are less than two and a half million dollam. A

Theso statements dispose of the entire mass of Charge tcada by Governor SETMOTTR and the scoundrels who got up his speech for him. They also show that the ^Republican majority in Congress have "iicted with an honest and steady purpose to reduce the public burdens and maintain the faith of the nation,

Still They Come.

P. H. SIBLEY, a member of the State Central Committee of tho Domocracy of California, resigns hi3 position in that committee. In biB letter of resignation he says: "In sentiment and sympathy I am no longer with you. My judgment neither approves the platform of principles put forth by the New York city convention, nor does my sense of duty to the country justify me in aiding to advance HORATIO SEYMOUR to the office of President of the United Slates. In remembering that 1 am a Democrat, I cannot forget that I owe a higher allegiance to the American Union. I should be glad to remain in the Democratic party, could 1 believe that in doing so that I am not sacrificing those principles of patriotism that aro higher and holier than^ any sentiment ol mere party fealty." -4 ..

Thousands of honest men all over the country are making haste to leave the Democratic party because they are convinced, as was Mr.

There is no place in such a party for any man who is not ready to grasp the bloody band of HAMPTON and thank him for his devilish ingenuity in compelling Union prisoners to dig their own graves. finally there is no place which tho Providence of God has provided for such a party in the nineteenth century, and the only service it can do mankind is to crawl back into its dishonored grave, under the Appomattox Apple Tree, where

The

was made by a thimble-rig-tricfe, thimble-rig platform that tho platfo. so Car aa tho bond question is concerned, an international cheatand that HORATIO SEYMOUR is pledged to the payment of the bonds in gold.

SIBLEY,

that thoy can

not remain in that organization without "sacrificing those principles of patriotism tbat are higher and holier than any sentiment of mere party fealty."

What has a patriot iu common with the party whose torchlight processions hurrah for KEF DAVIS and "STONEWALL' JACKSON j"i •••'I

What place can a patriot find in the party whose greatest leaders avow their unchanging devotion to the "lost eause?"

How can a patriot affiliate with a partv that openly avows its determination to plunge the country into another revolution? h.tttfn .' -ii'iVw. hn*yi.

Can any man who loves his country find contentment or self respect in a party which claims every unrepentant rebel, every perjured traitor, every guerilla, pirate, murderer of defenseless prisoners, and the fiends who gloated over the worse than hellish horrors of Andersonville, and other rebel prisons, where the most cruel means of slowly torturing to death thousands of our brave defenders, were deliberately devised?

There is DO place in such a party for any man whose soul is animated by one single thriil of patriotic feellnsj.

GRANT

laid it in 1865, and from which the treason of A. JOHNSON recalled its troubled spirit.

There, at all events, it will be relaid in November next.

The Negro Tote.

In all Democratic "demonstrations" tbat have been made in this State during tho pending campaign the anti-"nigger .!dea has been paraded with as much prominence as in the olden time. Their speakers have vied with each other in hurling the bitterest invectives upon the heads or the colored race. HENDRICKS, in his eighth of January speech, gave the keynote in a low, vile demagogical appeal to the basest passions of his basest follower an appeal which, if it bad any meaning at all, was simply a yell for "nigger'- extermination. Other speakers, from VOORHEES down to DITTEMORE have taken up the strain and rung all the change? on the old, old themo of Democratic hatred of "the nigger." Torchlight processions have been radiant with mottoes illustrative of Democratic fear of negro equality. Banners and transparencies innumerable have shown how low and bestial a Pernor cratic human beiug can be when goaded to desperation by tho haunting nightmare of "nigger" equality.

In all this, the Democracy of Indiana have strangely ignored tho fact tbat tbe party hopes to carry the Presidential election by itegfo votes. Neither their speakers nor tbeia, papers have dared to tell the masses—whom they~4re trying to educate down to '"nigger" extermination —that their friends in the rebel States are most assiduously codrting the negro vote,and that their leadets in that section, the men who wore most prominent in the New York Convention, are bu3ily engaged in organizing Colored Conservative Clubs" and in doing all that can be done by any and every possible means to secure the co«operation of the negroes in this campaign. Nor is it likely that their efforts will be entirely unsuccessful There are aiany advantages in their hands, not the least of whiah is the fact that nine-tenths of the property in ten State3 is in the h^nda of tl)o«e who carried on tho rebellion, men who aro prepared to use that property to secure the triumph of the principles they fought for during tbe four years of dire war.

In WADE HAMPTON a speech at Charleston, he announce* the rebel programme. It is this: "Organize Clubs in every locality send speakers through all the uytd to arouse the people. Try to convinci the negro that vie are hts true friends but if he icilt not be convinced, and is still joined to his idols, convince /u'wt, at least, that he must look to those -idol# 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 me who votes the Radical ticket Use all the means that are placed in your hands to control this element by ithich the Radical party setk to degrade us while they secure success, and we can turn their batteries against them-

Here" we liaTg, from the lips of an acknowledged leader, of great prominence in the late Democratic National Convention, the man who dictated whatever he pleased of the platform, the plain declation that the negro must vote the Democratic ticket or starve. A more satanic utterance never came from human lips and yet it is the true spirit of modern "Democracythe same spirit that would be manifested in this State and in thia city jf the party should find itself so situ-' ated as to require, and be able to control, the negro vote-" *rj\ trio's

GENERAL SHERIDAN lately wr. friend that two measures were ne^ for the settlement oi the rebellion, A first was to take away from it its mlitary strength. That was done at Appomattox. The second, to take away its poUUca strength. That will be done next November. It will be a short campaign but as decisive^^Appomattox^^

DEMOCRATIC prospects are thus summed up by the New Orleans Republican "Tho Democratic party and its supporters aro so palpably insane at the foreshadowing of certain defeat that they have lost all conception of the meaning of words The absolute shiver which the name of SEYMOUR inspires throughout the West? they call enthusiasm, and the certainty of nonxsuccess, except in one or two States, they name assured victory." ., j.'!J

THE New York Times says, in allusion to the motto on a banner displayed at a Democratic ratification meeting out West: "Our candidate is neither deaf nor dumb,'' that is just the difficulty with Mr. SEYMOUR. If he had been dumb during the last five years, his success in the pending contest would not be so utterly hopeless as it now is, and early in next Novembe^ when the majorities for GRANT are announced, Mr. SEYMOUR wiil unquestionably wish that he were deaf.

HON. JOSHUA HILL, of Madison, Georgia, one of the newly elected Senators Of the United States, from the State of Georgia, wrote a letter, last week, to the large Republican mass meeting at Atlanta offering to stump the State for GRANT and COLFAX during the present canvass. Jn this connection, we may say, that one of our prominent citizens received a private letter from Mr. HILL, dated June 13, in which be states that he will give bis strong and cordial support to the Republican presidential tiefcet and shall labor hard to promote its success in his and throughout the South.

Grant aa an Kcondfeilst—The Sentinel's Testimony. The Indianapolis Journal quotes from tbe Indianapolis Sentinel, of May 5, 1865 the following able and just tribute to General GRANT, in which it declared that bis early efforts for the reduction of mili tary expenses, demonstrated tbat, great as were his military laurels, his ciyio talents were equally great. Read it, Republicans Read it, Democrats! The Sentinel said "4.9 soon as General Grant felt that the rebellion was erqshed, ha immediately inaugurated measures to cut down expen ses, thus demonstrating that he possesses qualities that are as well adapted to the cabinet as the field. We are happy to notice that the policy of General Grant had the full sanction of the Secretary of War, and the recent orders of that functionary will cut dpwn the public expenditures fully one-half. The promptness with which he commenced the work of retrenchment is further evidence of his remarkable executive ability, and there are few men who could have discharged the arduous duties which have been im posed upon bim, as successfnlly as he has done. .t**"

,i -a

"In this connection we give the following conversation with General Grant, which shows not only his great modesty! Dut his great merits. We quote from the New York World. "A friend who was with General Grant immediately after the surrender of Lee, relates us a convorsation which that brave and modest soldier had with his wife and a staff officer at City Point "Well, Gen eral," said the latter "you will go up to Richmond to- morrow, I suppose?" "No" said Grant, "I have a days's work in Washington, and then I want to go on with Mrs. Grant to New Jersey and see the children." "What's to be done at Washington was the aSton'ohod reply "One would think you'd like to sea the inside of the city you have been pounding at for a year." Said thp General: "Why, we must stop tho draft let tbe sick soldiers that can travel home, and want to, to be paid off and sent to their friends, and begin cutting down expenses. If there is any more fighting to do we have more than enough men to do it."

To this tho Sentinel added tbe follow ing: "If the counsels of such men as General Grant control the action of the administration, we shall hope that the old peace footing will be restored, not only in retrenchment and economy in the public expenditures, but in the complete supremacy of the civil authority."

The Sentinel, in its unqualified approval of GRANT, is not an exceptional instance among the Democratic organs of the country. They were nearly unanimous in lavishing upon him tho most exalted eulogiee. We have only to turn to their files to prove—if their evidence is worth anything—that General GRANT possesses every qualification desirable or necessary in the Chief Magistrate of the Republic

General Jubal Early thinks as poorly of Grant as he did of Sheridan, as will be sesn by the following item copied from the New York Express:

Gen. Early, late C. S. A., is frequently visible in. the Clifton House, to which hedrives in from his residence in Drum« mondsville, a town a mile and a half distant. He likes to meet and converse With guests hailing' from the South. Ho is very bitter in his opposition to Grant for President. He says Grant has or had no ability whatever as a General, and has no civil capacity to fill the office for which he has been nominated."

Swift says you may detect an honest man by one infallible sign—tbat all the rogues are in confederaoy against him. A successful General's capacity may on the same principle be considered demonstrated, when all the commanders he deflate hare no belief in his ability. One fact would, it might be supposed, iave some effect upon Jubal. Grant is in Washington he is in Canada. He certainly would desire these positions reversed. Why are they fiot?—Boston Transcript.

FRANK BLAIR was present and spotfe at the Republican meeting held in Indianapolis, August 29,1860, and tho Seiitiuel of next morning compliments him a? follows:

He treated his hearers to a vulgar tirade of Judge Douglas and lessened himself in the estimation of all fair-minded men by pouring forth a torrent of billingsgate that would disgrace a Baltimore plug ugly. Mr. Blair speaks with a southern accent, and hesitates considerably in the choice of words.

We think he underestimated the capacity of his audience, or he has been over estimated himself.

While we remained to hear him he did not present the smallest segment of the shadow of an argument for ihe faith he professes to believe, but indulged in the merest newspaper slang, worn threadbare thro" years ot political strife, of Judge Douglas axjd tha Democratic party. ^he staple ot all the orators was the everlasting -nigger- Upon this theme Frank Blair dwelt with intense satisfaction.

A New York Democratic paper' says: "Republicanism brought upon the country our greenback curso." It was the Pendleton Escort which took to New York a splendid array of badges and banners emblazened with imitations of the "curse/' and demanded from the Democracy a greenback candidate on a greenback platform. The Seymour manipulators ought to be content with their work, and let the Pendleton men nlono.

An ex-rebel General, addressing the young men of the South recently, said "Swear that the day shall come when the Susquehannah and Ohio shall be like rivers of lire, as they are now rivers of blood, between your native land and that of the Northern Huns, which no man shall attempt to cross and live This is the language) of Albert Pike a native of Now England.

Oar Democratic contemporaries are talking about what is going to happen on "the ides of November." It allusion is made to.the presidentail election,they are putting off tho "evil day" (to them) longer than the old Roman calandar will warrant. The great Tanner will have the hides of the Democratic candidates before the ides of November.

The New York World proposes to "concede at the start that Democrats are Copperheads, rebels and traitors," and adds: "Only'/oi%'and moral ideas are too expenaivo luxuries the country cannot afford them." This contemptible sentiment comes from a man whose soul is in his brceehes pocket, and who must be a lineal decendantof that John Hook who haunted our army during the revolution with the hoarse cry of "Beef!" "Beof!" When patriotism and loyalty become too "expensive luxuries" to the people of this country wo had better send over to Europe for a scion of the blood royal, and have a cheap and "economical monarchy.

THE Boston Post, the leading Demo^ cratic journal of New England, said Jul}' 27, 1867, that "it will not be simply a national convention that will control Gen. Grant's nomination, but the national voice. If that demands his nomination, it will be made, and his election rendered certain independent of all Republican committees." How this world is subject to changes. The Post within a year found itself supporting Seymour and Bkir. A year ago the Post said tho people were "tired of ultraisms,' and yet now it is supporting the worst ultraism that can be held—tho ultraisin of insurrection and civil war, at tho pleasuro of a party and for party purposes. Alas, who knows what a day may bring forth.— Cincbuiati 'limes.

Does the Journal not know fhatMr. Pendleton is also a bloodsucker of tbe same species, and consequently a bondholder?
