FOR VICE PRESIDENT: B. Gi\ATZ BJtOWN, of Missouri! He want co govem ini ut without corrUptioii; a Congress ivilliout price; and a Judiciary without politics." ? B. ' GR ATZ BROWN. Tho record of the Dohiocrntic Party, from the formation of the United States Government, to tho present time, has al ways been oiio of marked consistency. It has always been the defender of the Con 'tiltition, and has fought with patriotic acnl and ability, every attempt at usur pation of powers unauthorized by this instrument. It has always contended that the States are Sovereign, and that the General Government has n?.right to transcend the powers, expressly delegated to it. If any, are so blind or prejudiccd,os to doubt that this position of the Democratic parly is right, or that the colonies enter tained the same ideas, when they enter ed into the Federal compact, wo only in vite them to a brief rohcarsal of a few facts. In the Declaration of Independence we find these words : " These United Colonies arc, and of right ought to be fuee and indend v.st States." The 2nd article of Confederation ren?ls. " Ltio.ll Stute retains its sovereign ty, freedom, and independence, und eve ry power, jurisdiction and right, which is not by this Confederation expressiv delegated to lite. United States in Congress assembled." Tlio following is also a portion of the 1st article of the Treaty of Peace, be tween England and the United States singed at Paris at the close of the Revo i lutionary war: ""His Britanic Majesty acknowledges tho said States (here each of the original thirteen arc distinctly named) to be free, sovereign, and idependent States." Again, <vhcn tho Convention met in Philadelphia, in 1787, for a revision of the Articles of Confederation, four plans were proposed, two on the National, and two on the Federal basis. The National idea being to ignore the articles of Confederation, nnd merge the , States into one single National Republic ; nnd the Federal plan being to retain the Federal system, nnd only make such ad ditional delegations of power, us may be necessary for a belter execution of the Federal powers. The National idea was Centralization, and the Federal, State Sovereignty. After many days of anxious debate, and profound thinking, the Nationals gracefully yielded, and the Federal plan was adopted. Thus was formed under tho new Con stitution, the most perfect model of a " Confederated Republic," as Washing ton styled it, that the wisdom of man has ever conceived. For the Constitution, thus formed, and handed to us by our forefathers, the Dem ocratic party has battled faithfully, and it will live to sec the day,when its defam crs will regret that their names arc not to be found among the defenders of Con stitutional liberty. The whole plan of the opponents of Democracy is, to lug in slavery, as one. of its issues. Now to say, that the Sou'.hern slave owner murmured, because the property, which was first introduced into this coun try by yankeo or foreign traders, (and for which he paid his money,) was violent ly taken from him, is a truth ; but to say that the Democratic party, in fighting for the Constitution, therery fought for the perpetuation of slavery, is a false hood. This party never objected to any changes however vast, which any of the States may choose to make in its own af fairs, but it simply maintains that it is an unwarrantable usurpation of power, and destructive of liberty, for the CJcnci al Government to interfere. If any State had have (Iceland for the emanci pation of slavery, within its borders, the Democratic parly would never, accord ing to its sworn principlcs,havc uttered a word against it. In proof of this, Wo have only to cite, that when slavery was first mooted in Congress, when the Federal or Demo cratic element was in power, the house passed a resolution refusing to interfere, " it remaining with the several States alone to provide any reou l at ions therein, which humanity, and true policy may require." This great bug-bear slavery, iv, how ever, now forever removed, and wc have no doubl that Democrats would be less inclined lo restore it, than Republicans themselves,Judging by the lattors evident tendencies in that direction. Tho Democrats have agreed to all of the recent amendments to the Constitu tion, abolishing slavery; therefore in their continued advocacy of local self-govern ment, there is no-further cause for mis construing their motives, if there ever was before. In this idea they arc right, and the rapidity with which the Republican par ty, the party of centralization, is drifting into arrogant tyranny and despotism, is daily proving it. The Cincinnati platform recognizes the equal rights of all men, without regard lo color, and the importance of preserving the local governments. ' It therefore embraces all that is meant by the word freedom, nnd we heartily com mend it lo the .support of every true pa triot. ' A. IF. Stephen's History of the Uttiled States. We have been honored with a copy of this work, which we have perused care fully, and laying aside prejudice, Sfraj unhesitatingly pronounce it the best his tory of the United Stales we have ever read. j It is written in a such a style, that the student will be naturall}' attracted, and find it easy to memorize. When he comes lo the history of the recent war, unlike Goodrich, who is un ablo to conceal the spirit of the partisan, Mr. Stephens faithfully performs the ofiice of the historian. lie records the naked facts, without comment, whether tiny arc for or against the South. It is an exec lent work in every re spect. The mechanical execution is line. We heartily recommend it to our schools and colleges, and hope that They' will all, without a single exception, adopt it as a text-book immediately. The Orangeburg News, of last week, professes to copy two sentences from the "Timer" of the 14th. and deliberately, leaves out two words.. Was this gross omission on tho part of J the News intentional, or may-we take the more charitable construction that its editor is so much intekelte? in the County Nominating Conventions, or local polities generally, that his ocular pow- j crs are sometimes allceted? But however this may be, Mr. News, to use your own classical cvprcssiony which you will find in your last paper, we | would advise you, for your own credit, to correct your false copy of thp Times "right away." We regret that we cannot accept yc.xir opinion that our statement of the Demo cratic gains in North Carolina would "sound better" bundled up into one sen tence. Probably such statements would "sound better" still, to Republican ears, further reduced, that is, not expressed at all. We purposely placed the result for 1872 in a sentence by itself, in order the more clearly and distinctly to con trast it with the actual results of each election for the previous years, and we must decline to make the proposed alte ration. The Armed Force. The Columbia Pluenix publishes an itemized account, in the State Treasury Department of moneys paid out, and to whom, under what is called the Armed Force appropriation, from which we select among others, the names of the following prominent Republican Saints: F. J. Moses, Jr.?11.000 R. B. Elliot. . 10 500 S.L.I Ioge. 1.000 II. G. Worthington. 000 J. Mooncy, (unknown). 25,545 The whole list covers over $82,000. We call upon all of these worthies, to show their constituents how they spent this money, before they make any more Republican speeches. Serious Riots in Ireland. London, August 17.?Further advices from Belfast confirm the reported serious nature of tho rioting there Thursday.? Several collisions occurred between mobs of Protestant and Catholic processions, during which a large number of persons received injuries more or less of a serious nature. The entire city was in an uproar of excitement, and the disturbances were only quelled by the most active exertions of the police. Many rioters have been arrested. London, August, 17?2 P. M.?A dispatch just received from Belfast states that the riots have broken out afresh.? Severe fights are now going on. The barracks of the police and several houses have been wrecked by the mob. -tr- -?-- ? * ? _ " -? ? ' ? ? -?- ? MEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE. Ne\y Yoke, July 27lh, 1872. ^Deaic Times:?After lenving New London, Conn., a few hours ride by rail, fprouglil us so Avon, a lovely country Village, nestled among the lulls, and fam ed for its charming sorrOundings. Five Wiles from Avon is the noted CoJlinsvilh*, which place is especially ronowned as being the largest axe-manufactory in the .United Slates. Plows* and cutlery are also extensively manufactured here ; and old John Brown, whose soul is still marching on," procured his famous pikes, which, in my opinion, opened the. War, and no doubt, began the end of sla very. From thence we visited Winsted, the terminus of the road, and the princi pal borrough in Litchfield county. It Contains numerous manufactories, mostly j of various forms ot iron and steel, such ma scythes, lues, forks, drawing knives, spins, &c,; the construction and manufac ture of which it has been my privilege to be an eye witness. Having seen all the curiosities worthy of note, I embarked for the Empire State?New York. This -City is indeed, the largest and most im portant City of the Western Continent, Manhattan Island, on which the City Dr?per stands, is tint teen and a half j miles in length, with an average breadth of one and three quarter miles, forming Ku arrea of nearly twenty-two square iles, or fourteen thousand acres. As our Steamer enters New York Bay, nd sail?i between the villa-crowned bores of Staten and Long Island, through hat narrow passago known as the Nar rows, can bo seen the massive battlements 'of Fort Richmond, and the water battery of Fort Tompkins, on Staten Island.? passing amid these noble guardians of the harbor, with a fleeting glimpse cd'the Ipam-lingercd nock of Coney Island, the -panorama of the great Island City of the RVostern Hemisphere is at once unfold ed. I need not comment upon the ele gance and grandeur of the Central Park Karden; nor upon the fashion of 83 road way ; nor of her private Parks and ipubie squares; nor of herbeautifullv and ?gorgeously built churches, costing thon Kind upon thousands of dollars; nor of Ker superb ami liberal Hotel ncconinio Hiltions, for tin i are already widely and generally known throughout both Eastern and Western Hemispheres. En passent, I will aliud*! to the retail store of tbePrincc merchant, A.T. Stewart. It i.= reported by the knowing ones, that bis is the largest store in the world- It occupies the en tire square bounded by ninth and tenth Streets, Broadway and fourth Avenue. It is built of marble and is considered fire-proof.. There are, in the employment ot" his retail department, two-thousand clerks, constituting a larger number than the entire population of Orangcburg ('. II. X. Y. Z. Political Notes. Senator Doolittlc is confident that the Democrats will carry Maine. George II. Pcndlcton will return home from Germany in time to take part in |ho Presidential canvas, lie expresses himself earnestly tu favor of Grccley's election. pohn L. Clark, of Decatur County, Iowa, has just resigned his position npon the Radical State central committee,mid declared himself for Grcclcy. Captain Yeoman, of Fort Dodge, la., who belonged to the brigade which cap tured Jeff. Davis, was the first man in his town to dee'are for Horace Grcclcy A few Democrats met at the Girard House, Philadelphia, on Monday night, to make arrangements for attending the Louisville Convention. The Press says that one h tnered Democrats will go from Pennsylvania. A correspondent from Columbia Coun ty, Penu., the home of the Hon. Charles R. Buckalcw, dcclnrs thet tue Liberal majority will be fully two thousand five hundred, being seven hundred more than the usual Democratic majority. Mr. Grccley telegraphs to tue Tribune in relation to the ssccial dispatch publish ed in the Boston Traveller: "I have, written none but private letters, and have written to no person that we shall carry but two New England States, as I know better." Grasshoppers are catibg up everything but cast iron boile rs in Big Hole and Jefferson valley Montana. They would cat them but there ain't any thcr to be eaten. A correspondent of the Louisvillo Cou rier-Journal ait Jacksonport Arkansas, j writes that all the white bats and negroes I they arc for Grcclcy. Indians on the War Path. Salt Lake, August 17.?The Indiana of San Petq County are still on *hc war path. Infantry and cavalry will ba im mediately sent in pursuit. Salt Lake, August 18.?Three com panies of United States troops left for the field of Indian danger in San Pete County. Generals Ord and Morrow leave immediately for the scene of opera tion with caaalry. J. D. Page, the tele graph operator at Mt. Pleasant, was at tacked last night by Indians when leav ing his offiqc, and was terribly wounded j in tho head by tomahawks. The Avound is supposed to be fatal. Telegraphic. New Yoke, August 19.?Horace Grecley arrived this morning from Bos ton. Official returns from eighty-four coun ties in North Carolina give Caldwell 2, 073 majority. Memphis,T?nn, Aug 19.?Col Andrew ?I Kellar, editor and proprietor of the Ava lanchc, advances himself as an inde pendent candidate for Congress in this district, and is an ardent supporter of Grecley and brown. It is reported that the boll worm ig doing great damage in Northern Missis sippi. Washington, August 19.?The heat is excessive here to day, the thermometer reaching 94 in the shade. There is information from Geneva which warrants the assertion that since the exclusion of the claims for indirect damages, the business before the Tribu nal of Arbitration has been favorable to tins Government, and that several aw ards for direct damages have already been agreed upon, the indications be ing that oh the conclusion of the adjudi cation a gross sum will be awarded to the United States, thereby avoiding a re ference of the subject to a boatd of Com missioners. It should not bo expected that particulad^ ean now be officially given as the proceedings of the Tribunal are conducted in secret, and as tho im formation furnished to our Goverment is of the same character. Bland ani)Childlike-?The Beau fort Republican says. We see that some Reformers in Charleston have nomina ted Mr. Cardozo for treasurer. The case with which by his own admissions, he was hoodwinked by Parker and ICimp ton would prevent us from advocating his claims for Treasurer. IIo is bland enough but entirely too childlike for me. We hear the painful rumor from Mas sachusetts, that Ben Butler is likely to desert Grant and go over to Grecley. Now in the name of all the Gods at once w hat evil have we done to merit such an infliction as this? The great Liber al aud Democratic party of the country could toh rate almost anything in creation but to be broken down and dishonored by association with a bottle imp and spoon litter is to much for Christain patience and forbearance. From all such, goad Ljrd deliver us. The Republican says that Grant is coming out for Grecley?on the 4th of March. The American Farmer's Advocate, devoted to tho interests represented in the National Agricultural Congress, is one of the largest aud by far the cheapest agricultural papers in this country and should be in tho hands of every farmer. $2,00 per year; in clubs of four or more, 50 cents each.

"Senator Trumbull, of Illinois, is on his way to Maine, where the combat hourly deepens and the sign of victory for the Liberal cause hourly brightens.
