THE Journal shows its rebel proclivities by mentioning, in the same paragraph "the Hon. a VALLANDIOHAM" and "the notorious Gen. SCHENCK.' The copperhead Son of Liberty rebel is, of course "honorable," while theTTnion General is simply "notorious/'

"A f»llow-feeling makes wondrofls kind.

THE Columbus Journal learns that the Dayton Ledger is about publishing cer tificates of YALLANMGHAM'S loyalty, the New York World having set thg example in SEYMOUR'S case.

The rumor that certificates and documents to show the loyalty and general good character of WILKES BOOTH, are about to be published lacks confirmation.

ON two or three occasions lately the Express hua blowingly stated that no Democrat could be found who will vesture his money on the result of the elec tion.—Journal.

And we say again there is not a Demo crat in the United States who will bet a dollar on the election of SEYMOUR. All the "professional" betters in your party from MOBBISSEY down to DOBBINS, are betting on GRANT.

DURING his quarrel with Gen. FREMONT in Missouri, FRANK BLAIR not only assailed the General himself with all the vituperative words he

but he also pitched into his military family» applying such conoilliating and endearing epithets as 'd—d Dutch' to the German officers serving on FREMONT'S staff. The Germans of St. Louis, it seems, are making preparations to pay him off in November. •*..

THE telegraph yesterday morning ted that the Government was preparing to pay out to the bondholders during this month &c.—Journal.

That was joyful tidings to HBNDRICKS and EDGSRTON and to all those "eastern sharpers" who "bought up the unfaithful and infamous delegates for

'TfiE Democracy, quibble as they may, only mean mischief a general disturbance throughout the country, the destruction of its credit, and bloody revolution. Every step taken, ©very resolution adopted, is BO adjusted as to merit such a condition of things. As actions speak louder than words, we need only add, that the more infamous and cruel a rebel a man has been, the truer a Democrat is he considered.

THE editor of the N. Y. Democrat, in a burst of enthusiasm over a report of Democratic prospects in the three great States of Ohio:, Indiana and Illinois, thus gives vent to his feelings: "Ah, those Western boys, whether in blue or in grey, are WHITE, and they are alive.'' The soldiers who whipped the graybacks, and prevented the dismemberment of the Union, will know how to appreciate the SEYMOUR and BLAIR sentiment quoted above.

S^EIIAVOR YATKS, of Illinois, who re ceived an enthusiastic ovation on his re. turn home to Springfield, Illinois, is speaking with rare eloquence and effect to the people of his State. His Springfield speech is a great campaign document. He is one of the very best popular orators in the country, and we should be much gratified if his services could be P' ocurt-d ia this vicinity.

Ws notice by our Illinois exchanges that Gen. Blair is posted for a speech at Mattoon sometime in October. If his appointment there should occur early in the month he might be inductd to visit tpis city.—Journal. f*

Perhaps if you would send a cothmit|ee of "Hell Hounds" and "Finnegans" for him and offer him suitable dormitorial inducements, remembering his preference as to a bedfellow, he might be induced to visit this city. ",-j ,'r-, "if I

THE new rebellion has already been inaugurated in Arkansas. Several coun ties are man uproar, and it appears that the Ku Klux advocates of FRANK BLAIR'S policy have not been able to restrain their enthusiasm, but have rushed peremptorily into that contest which is the logical sequence of BLAIR'S letter and the New YoXkTplStform. For some days the most inflammatory appeals have been published in a Memphis paper, edited by renegade who bears & Presidential pardon about him. and these app&als appear to have taken firm hold upon thepauiona ot the Arkansas rebels.

PETER Y. BUSKIRK

Encourages Desertion

And Glories in ihe Hopeofdvll War in Indiana

The following correspondence is taken from the DAILY EXPRESS of February £8. 1863, and is republished now for the information of the voters of Vigo County whose suffrages PETER Y.BUSKIBK is ask ing for the important position of Bepreentative to the Legislature of Indiana. We ask all Democrats who supported the war and are not yet prepared to deliberately sully their war record and admit that traitors were right and they were wrong} to read these letters and recall the cir cumetances under which they were written. Remember that the winter of 18G2-3 wa9 the darkest period of that long and terrible struggle, and bear in mind tbat the- efforts of traitors at the rear did more than all else to produce the doubt, discouragement and gloom whieh, to so great an extent, took possession of the public mind. Think of the brave men at the front facing the almoet exultant enemy, suffering the awful privations incident to winter campaigns, dying off by thousands of disease, having little to cheer them save their trust in the God of battles and the righteousness of their cause, and then ask yourselves what measure of loathing, scorn, detestation, would meet the deserts of the wretch here in Indiana who could sit dewn by his cozy winter fire and write letters intended to create dissension and strife, to deepen discouragement and to weaken our already attenuated lines by transforming the brave soldier into the base and cowardly deserter. It is not an agreeable duty to recall the saddest chapters of those sad days, and it is still less agreeable to recall to public memory the record of any man's shame. But, as we had occasion to say of other acts, "there ar* sins so deadly, thereis infamy so damning, that the one may not be forgiven nor the other forgotten." Those sins were committed by every man who perpetrated so foul a deed as the inditing of such letters as those of PETER Y. BUSKIBK and JEPTHA Moss. That infamy will cleave, for all time, to every name that was appended to such letters as those which elicted the following from Col. J. P. BAIRD. HEADQUARTERS, 85TH BEG. IND.VOLS.

NASHVILLE. Feb 12, 1863.

EDITOR EXPRESS.—2«W Sir: Enclosed I send you letters written by citizens of your District to soldiers of my commancf, which please publish in full with names of writers.

One letter is from Peter Y. Buskirk, well-known Democratic politician, on a small scale, in Vigo county. He resides at Centreville, and the letter was written to his brother James Buskirk, a private of company C, of my regiment. Both James Buskirk and Crish, to whom P. Y. Buskirk says he had written, have deserted. These soldiers were both teamsters, and not only deserted their regiment, but left their wagons and whilst six miles from camp, hauling wood. I understand these men pretend to be pa. rolled prisoners. They must have taken great pains to procure paroles, for there was no enemy within sixty miles of us when they deserted.

The writer of the other letter, is Jeptha Moss, but be is a citizen of Greene county, Indiana, and resides near Linton. Several other letters of the same import have been received from citizens of Clay and Greene counties, and about Centreville, Vigo county. ',5 Si ome fifty men have deserted from this regiment, and of which thirty-three are hnm Clay, Greene, and Southern pert of Vigo, and your readers can judge for themselves whether their letters have not produced their legitimate effect. gg

It is plausible for cowardly politicians at home who dare not fight, to boast that the proclamation is making the war odious to the army, and cite in proof of these assertions the numerous .cjjes^rtipns of the soldiers. I'

But we who are in the afmy" rnSw that desertions are not the effect of the proclamation, but are produced by the conduct of the Boldiers friends and relatives at home. It may be said that the writers of these letters are obscure persons without influence at home. This is true, hut they take their cue from the leaders of the party in power. Their influence when brought to bear upon fathers, brothers, and sons in the army is greater than would be that of the leaders of the party. All w% who are fighting the country's battles, ask of those at home is to be let alone. If you can't encourage, do nothing to discourage the soldier. His lot is hard enough at best, without being harrassed with the tauntj that he is fighting to free the negroes. All reflecting soldiers regard the proclamation as being a means to attain the great end for which we are fighting to suppress the rebellion, and to restore the Government, and while there is an honest difference of opinien as to the policy or effect of the proclamation, none but fools believe we sre fighting to carry out that proclamation.' '-'M

It seems to me the party in ptiwtfr at home would rather have the South succeed than have the rebellion suppressed by means of the proclamation. If such is their policy, let the army know it, and there will be no division of opinion. Yours truly. JOHN P. BAIRD.

tioe CHASE, and who played a prominent

cmveatjpt^ ipade a lengthy statement atajdrant meeting in Frank4rt, in regard to.the CHASE movement, •ktd'ihe maiuier of its failure. Colonel ^sowi'l own position in the present political campaign is thus .stated in his eech, as reported in the Cincinnati mmercial i-

I must say here, most emphatically thatl now regard no man as a truefriond to bis country, or as a true friend to the Chief Justice, who, with all the facts before him as 1 sball detail them, fails to give General Grant and Mr. Colfax all Uie assistance he can render to make their Election sure and I wish tbat my voice tb*night could .reach the Conservative Itepublicans in the North who would have voted for Mr. Chaso, when I say that their obligation to vote fbr General Grant is now more imperative than any political duty they were ever called upon fjo perform1, for' ft is a duty they owe to an imperilled country. The very ends they desired to obtain through Mr. Chase's nomination are made insecure by the action of the Democrats. The olivn branch they held out to Southern rebels has been torn from their hands and broken in twain. Without regard to difference of opinion on minor questions it is now a solemn duty, devolving on every lover of peace and every friend of law and order, to support General Grant and he assumes a solemn responsibility of evil in the eyes of God and man who fails to do it. 1 frankly confess that my views have undergone a change on the suffrage ques* tion from those to which I have heretofore, given public expression, I am pre-

parea now, after much study and reflec tion, to stand here in my native and dearly beloved State, in thiB temple of jusUce, and within sight of our legislative halls, and to fearlessly proclaim that henceforth and forever I favor and will advocate the equal, civil and political rights of all men, without regard to their political belief, without regard to their religious opinions, without regard to their nationality, their color, their race, or their previous condition.

The account which Colonel BROWN gives of the origin and progress of the CHi.SE movement, and the Support given It by progressive Democrats and conservative Republicaris, does not add material* ly ttfthe public information on this subject. It incidental^ introduces, however, some facts -of general political interest .Which iMs worth while to cite., Thus Colonel BROWN relates that he appealed to Mr. CHASE' on behalf of "the poor black people of the South,'' to allow his name to be used

I pictured to him, clearly and truthfully, how unhappy was their situation in Kentucky:, turned loose In the midst of a powerful and generally hostile white population, mostly without property or substance! I pointed "out to him the. many Outrages1 inflicted on this poor race/ the fact that th«y had lost the protection of

love of lying, will admit that the six w»4 above all, were cruelly and bar.months sftcfeeeding tliaf date' wefe" neces- barously denied the privilege of testimosarily ther mpSt' expensive mohths 'of the WAr. It is matter of hie'td^y that in the three years above named $917,117,0'4§ were expended for the support. of the army aldne, but What honest paper would try to make a general average from 4uch a statement.'^ The Journal knows that during the first six monthis 'succeeding the surrender of LEE at Appomattox, nearly a million of soldiers 'were muster* ed out and p&id. It kn^s that millions of dollars werd required to feed the sur* ren'dei1^ relMls ahd to transport thepi to their homes. 'It know! that during Uiose six months (ihe unavoidable and legitimate expenses of the army—being dissolve^ and paid off—were seven-tenths of the entire sum which it and other papers have, stretched in a general average over thrie yean. It knows that during these six months $647,688,000 were used ,for paying off the sold iers. as they were mustered dut of serVicff," aricfror. Ijountfes leaving for the itlrty months' o^y 1279,000,000, an average of $ld8,ob6,6bo annually,) Which expenditure hu since been largely' reduced. And finally the Journal knows, as does eVery wellin'forthed man or orgUM, that notwithstanding the -terrrbltf opposition the Bepubiican party-liae encountered in its efforts to reduce, the burden of taxation, it has actually reduced the public debt nearly fifty^aine millions of dollar%and has reduced taxation $L7OyGOO,000 annually..,, .i i.

"Blair's Rhetoric.'^

We'Poarn that 5am^ R. HAMSlffi has' recently written "to FRANK BLAIR requesting a copy of FRANK'S Georgia speech, and that FRANK has replied to SAMUEL saying that he keeps no copies of his speeches.' This is very unfortunate, indeed, but if ihe Sullivan county orator really wahts texts from "BLAIR'S BhetoriCj" we commend' the following as worthy of his careful study "I would rather sleep with a nigget than withi^Bmoorat^^r^toir's Oilman's Cooper Shop speech, 1860 "The Democrat^' "Btell-hfiiinds."-^ Blair's Indianapolis spawA, 1880.

barously denied the privilege ny in our courts against those White raiscfrMhts who might deprive them of life, liberty or property, and that the little band of,devoted Unionists here were powerless to alter the condition of thiogs.

He makes also an interesting report of the political condition of the South, as he found it during a business trip, between the 8th and 30th of June last, through everySouthern State east of the Mississippi:" ..v .v.

I found the business men of the South ready to' accept any kind of 'a nomination-, and any form of government that would remove the military, restore peace, revive jbrada, and give, them an opportunity to repair their shattered fortunes but, uiifortuiiaVely, business tne'n ai-e not generally polHri^atitf. The judges, the merchants, the manufacturers of the South, as a general thing, preferred Cl|ase as the nominee of the New York Convention, believing that be could unite in harmony more of the discordant elements of the nation than any other individual. They were willing to aecept -reconstruction With hligro Suffrage, and only asked1 tha protection of the ballot for themselves.-^ This class Of men, who have more interest at'stake in the Sbuth than any-other, are not, however politicians^ as I have said, and it Was a sad hour for them and„for the' nation when tha delegates to the New York Convention from that section, insteid'of being taken from this class, were chosen in' the main from broken-down party hacks, editors, lawyers and unrepeutsmt rebel soldiars.

I saw Mr. Chase again July I, and I old nim the feeli&g ot the business men, "tit thkta powerful reactionary element Was" at work in the South, which threat ened mischief, particularly in Alabama that. was never, more deeply impressed with the wisdonaof Congress in giving the" black man the ballot that it was a check on the rebel element more effective than bayonets that the black men of the South wei-e the" only acrioultural laborers in that section that they were really the "working men" of all the Cotton States, and cpuld only be protected in the fruits of tlieir toil by elective franchise.

The progressionists met in council that night. It was arranged who should nominate Mr. Chase, who should second it, what States were to Vote fbr him on the first feallot, »0d what shoufd be said On the occasion of bringing his name form ally before the Convention. A most formidable strength was developed and every circumstance was auspicious for sticcei^. yhorw ara reasons to believe that the deliberations of this meeting were betrayto the reactionists. Everj thing at this St4g6 of the proceedings depended on tbe fitfhnees of the New York delega^ho 4|h to, the &th of JtMy thirdelarsti— had proiessed to be for .Mr. tit only waited a favorable moment to^tiHiig fbrihird hn nama At MShight o* the 8th Mr. Horatio Saymoor still protested that he was for Mr. flharir tint Mr jThiftnfriends who doubted Mf.SeyfflOOr'B sfncerity from the fl4rt, andwl» beBeyad that he was acting

Stiat

boU, pojwgeout^^tron^-wilpl ist§for Se i^presidepc]|pfeid attempt tuey succeeded so perfectly as excite my admiration of their tact, skill and courage. It was arranged at the meeting of the progressionists to which I have thftV pfrtHlnn which had been prepared by a German editor from Wisconsin, and whgclrhad been nearly eyfery Germfn eflitoi then city, asking" for ttl hominatioa Chase, should be read to the convention pX as mgu oiBow^ he having previously declined to nomt* nate Mr. Chase himsrtf, «i the gronttd that he was President of the cOnveatioa but I have been told by a gentleman now living .in New York city, and whose Veracity I have n6 doubt to qnestibn, that cm the morning of July 9, a sborttime before the convention met, Mr. Seymour read to him from the manuscript, a very chaste, neat little speech which he said he would deliver to the convention when Mr. Chase's name was brought before i% and he believes Mr. Seymour had .that speech in his pock'ol when, he Was nominated. Relying on Itr. Seymour and the New York delegation the prc^ressionists met in the convention on the morniqg of July 9, full of hope in the success of their plan. But a counter movement had been going on. I Was told in Cincinnati the other day by a prominent Democrat, tbat only six meanMra of. the Ohio delegation -were madef rivy to the nomination of Mr. Seymour. This was the gaibe. These men determined, with the aid of the Southern rebels, to 'capture Horatio Seymour from tha pro*

ressionists and nominate him, knowing this would so demoralize that faction as to give tbem absolute control of the convention, and that not a voice would be raited when they brought forward their own man for the Vice Presidency, who had already'been agreed on by the reactionists.^ It was the most successful move ever made in this country in national convention but it was a forlorn, liope. Any moral courage on Mr. Sey mour's part any thought of how great men act ih try nig emergencies, would have covered the reactionist! with overwhelming defeat.. But they knew well their man. Ohio led off, Mr. Seymour rose to his feet. The stillness of death filled the hall. Mr. Seymour, trembling with excitemenrarrd flUed Witlrftar, Stood and pleaded for-his character. It was piteous sight., The poor man told, ot his promises that when he had refused the use of his name he meSnt it, and that now his honor forbade it. I believe'his felt what he said, for to say that, under the circumstances, he was. guilty of preconcerted treachery would be to say that by his side Judas Iscariot ,and John Wilkes Booth had lost the lustre of their infamy. When he had finished his-appeai, he was boldly told that, after what had occurred, his honor was now safe in the' hands of the reactionists. Ohid' -Mturned to the charge. The rebels throughout the hall raised the same wild and savage yell with, which Hampton and Forrest had so often charged the soldiers of the Union. It was too much for Mr. Seymour. Braver men than he'had quailed before that battle ory. He hesitated, he yielded, then fled ignominiously from the scene.

All was now over. The demoralization of the Projgressionists was complete and the rebels had it their own way. Hence hn unpardoned rebel soldier could rise to his feet and propose the-name, of Francis P. Blair, Jr., the very prince of revolutionists, as the Yice President of the nation, this same rebel' had fought to destroy. Rebels again triumphed the deed was done, and when the convention ad" journed the bappiest men in New York icity were General Wade Hampton and General N. B. Forrest and they had good reason to be so, for in. the heart of the great North they had achieved the greatest political victory of the present generation, and had done their W'brk wisely and well.

The opinion of CHASS, and that of his friend and reporter, Colonel BROWN, in rei gard to the two tickets, is expressed in the following: -jdiil fvShJ

I have heard him (Mr. Chase) ripeak often in terms of high eulogy of the char* acter of General Grant. He has great confidence in his straightforward honesty and integrity, and has ahigh appreciMion. of his sterling common, sense and judgment of men, while he regards Mr. Colfax as one of the purest and best men our country has ever produced.

I know that Mr. Chase anticipates the election of General. Grant that he ex*, pects, if both are alive on the 4th day of March, 1869, to swear Mm into office as' the next President of the United States, and that, he .believes his administration, will be mild, humane and harmonizing. I can safely'lell you, too, that he regards. Blair's lettter to Colbenl Broadhead as Ku-Klux as simply devilish.

To elect Mr. Seymour President would not only be ridiculous, it would be criminally so. With the rentes! sjptiMt of Frank Blair hovering over him, surrounded by bold, strong-willed .men like McCook, Hampton, Forrest, Semmes and Yallandigham, he would be governed like a child. Like Hotspur's starling, he wonld be taught what to say and he would say it. In three months after his inauguration he would not know whether he was the first magistrate of a mighty people or a bootblack on Pennsylvania avenue.— Think you he could stand a moment fa? tween the violent reactionists of the cotton States and the consummation of their plan

A GENTLEMAN who beard the harangue of San ford Davis, at Parkeville, suggests tbat it would be good policy for the Union Central Committee to effect an arrange* ment for this sapient young Democrat to speak his pieco in every school house in the county. At the place above mentioned, his speech abounded in stale, false ahd extrayag&nt charges against the Republican party—such charges as have been controverted time and time again u&tn no man with a thimbleful! of bfains oan be toutad who willutand up before an intellu gent audience and attempt to repeat them. Among othqr silly things rehashed by this verdant "young-man, is the charge that Major Caster is in the habit .of reading to his hearers the financial resolution of the Democrat platform and attempting to pass it off as that of the Kepubliran platform. iiqi~
