Speech of Hon. T. A. Hendrick: OF INDIANA, Is THE UNITED STATES SENATE, ON THE 4I JULY, 1SCS, ON TUE ISSUES OF TUE PUES DENTIAL CAMPAIGN. Mr. Hendricks-Mr. President, it was rc desire at this time to submit some rather e: tended remarks to the Senate upon the polit cal questions now occupying public attentior but the condition of my health-to day wi only allow a brief reference to them. I have observed for some days past a pu .pose on the part of Seuators who repriser the majority to avoid the position of tho de fensive, and to assume, if possible, that of th offensive in this political contest. In m judgment that is neither practicable nor pos sible on their part; it is not in the nature c the case. For eight years the Federal Gov ernment and most of the State government of the North have been controlled by tb party now in the majority in Congress, and i is not possible that that party can avoid a re spouse to the people upou the questions tba attract public attention. Waiving au ioquiry into the conduct o that party .during the "'ar, which they clain it is not just to make, and confining the in quiry to the three years since the close of thi war and the return of peuce, there are cer tain important questions I tat must bean swered. And, first, the people will desire t< know very distinctly and emphatically whal has been dono with the ?1.2OO,00u,00O thai have been Collected from them under, the fn ternal revenue law and the tariff system since tho first day of July, lSu"5. I know that $-100,000,000 may be accounted? for at leasl ia part iu the payment of interest upon the public debt. Then the people will want tc know how it is, independently of the interest upon the public debt, that it has tt ken ?800,' 000,000 to. carry thia ?rovcrnttjent-tbrough a period of three years, when in a time of peace it used to require but from sixty to seventy or eighty million dollars annually. The peo ple willv wish to know during this contest whether this enormous sum of money, which has put the citizens everywhere oyer the land upon the observauce of the strictest eoonomy to respond to the demands of the Goveru raent, has been expanded iu the promotion of the public welfare, or whether it has been ex pended in the promotion of the interests of a party ; whether it has been expended to ex tend tho enterprises of the country or to maintain in the Southern States that system of government which had gradually proceeded from step to step in arraying one race against another; whether it has been expended in genuine acts of benevolence and kindness, or in maintaining apolitical system by which the colored people have been organized through out the South into a political puny ? in other words, whether this enormous sum thal has been wrung from the people has been expen ded lor their benefit, for the promotion of their interOsts and their good, or for other purposes ; and no arts of the orator or inge nuity of the sophist can avoid an auster to the grave and important inquiry. Why is it, sir, that in a ti me of profound peace it has cost $100,000,000 a year to sup port an army of fifty-six thousand. The peo ple especially will want an answer to that question when you propose to elect to the Presidency the head of that army, who for a portion of that period was not only the Gen eral of the army, but the Secretary of War. They want to know, how it was that during the administration of the department by him it cost at the rate of $120,000,000 to support the War Department and army, when it used to cost but $l,060,00? to thc regiment. The people will want to know why it is that in a time of profound peace, when we have no war, except inconsiderable strifes on our borders with the Indians, $1)5,000,000 were expended, in the fiscal year before thc last, to maintain the army, independent of bounties, and that for the quarter when the candidate for the. Presidency was the Secretary of War, it cost about thirty million dollars, or at the rate of $120,000,000 per annum ; #2,000,000 to the resituent ; ?2,000 to the man. Tho people will want tho majority in Congress, when they demand the continuance of power beyond this period cf eight years, to answer why it is that so much money is drawn from them by the extraordinary power of taxation, that it may thus go to support tho most expensive military system that has ever been known in the world. I might speak of some of those expendi tures. I mi^'ht ci'?.?k vf that favoritism in a small way which bas shown itself in the pub lication in the newspapers that are favored by ! special legislation in the District of Columbi? of uotices for inconsiderable army supplies upon the Rio Grande, and at the-distant forts, when it was impossible, from the date of the publication that any man could receive infor mation by such publication .which would en able him to compete in. the bidding. 1 might spf-?k of other expenditures of like sort, in dicatirg a favoritism not worthy of any polit cal party that claims the confidence of the country, but I will not occupy so much of the time of the Senate. The people will wish to know during this contest why it is* that tho Supreme Court, has been denied tho right to inquire into the con stitutionality td' th*e legislation of this Con gress. The people know that tho Supreme Court was established as one of the securities to their liberty, as one of the props and pil-. iors ?ndernenth their institutions. They want j to know vrliy tjjis prop and pillar has been I Htrickon down, ?nd for y h at political and par ty purpose it has been done,, if yourlegisla I tion 6? constitutional,, valid, and right, then the .people will wish to know why Congress should shield itself in its enactments from that inquiry" that the Constitution intended should bc had in regard to all. legislation. The people during this coolest Will wish to know ftrby it js that the executive department has been stripped of that power which has ' been conferred 'upou it bj' tk?1 Constitution ; j I why it is that Congress bos' ?sp?medi 1iQ.rt??J.f j ! all those powers which, for nearly eighty yeap, ' wera exercisedtuqder the Copstilutio?;^ tte 1 executive departm$f?t ; and for what pnrpose of good to the people fbi s ir?s intended,1 Why is it that from the executive been taken tho responsibility for the eeution of the laws ? Why is it that to Senate has been assumed that re^ponsibilii Why is it that Congress has said that the poi to remove from office shall be taken from, executive when that power has been ex cised, and as I believe according to the sp of the Constitution, and as I know, accord to the construction of the fathers, bj thc I ecutive all the time ; and that in the Senat many headed body, where responsibility is vidcd so that it lights upon no particular dividual, a responsibility should be assurr which is worth nothing to the people a guarantees nothing to the fidelity and secur of the public service. The people will want to know why three years a party with a majority of tv thirds in Congress have not restored t Southern States to their practical relatic with the Federal Government; why is it tl such a period has elapsed and no genu'ii peaceful, and permanent results have been tai ned. .They know what is tho condition affairs. They know what temporary etvtt prises bav.i been set on foot in the Southe States. They understand all tb'at quito we but they want to know, and they demand know, in.my judgment, with.a vtij r< demand, why it is that these States have n been restored in the spirit of thc Constitutic and with that harmony which will promo the permanency of thc Union, the stability our institutions, and the prosperity of eve; section of the country. The people will wa to know in this contest, why it is that Co gress stepped in between.thc Executive ar an immediate peaceful, practical and perm nent restoration of the States to their praci cal relations to' the Federal. Govcrnmeni why it was, that when we were so far a' vaoced in that work under the policy inaug rated by the Executive, when States were? cepting thc propositions, adopting the Const tutions that were acceptable everywhet agreeing to everything demanded by tl North, acquiescing in the repul?s of the w? in every respect whatever, Conprees came i: and to some extent defeated that restoratic policy which was bringing again permanei union and permanent prosperity. That que lion will bo asked by sensible, thinking pei pie, and it is for the majority in Congress, an for their partisans over thc country, to give direct, plain, and unequivocal answer. The people will want to kuow in this cor oection why it is that by this political con?n versy that Congress has gotten np with th Executive, strikiug down the policy that wa then almost a success, the return of trade production, and of prosperity have been ir definitely delayed. They know, as Senator kuow, that from the tune when this contre persy ?was gotten up by Congress to brea! down the policy of restoration, then almos ?omplfcted, the productions of a large portio t)f the country have, from year to year, lalle jff, and thal the exports which those produc lions furnished, enabling us to keep up th jalance of trade somewhat in our favor, hav< lallen olf so much that in a large degree tba jalance has been made up in gold and in tb? Gk vern ment securities. The people want ti inow why it is that-trade cannot be allowee :o return to its ancient channels ; that tin ndustries of the country are not encouraged jut that, on tho contrary, they are kept io :hat disturbed condition that investments dan lot be made by capital, and that labor ii Uraid to. make atubfiort evea if capital shooJx De invested. The people will ask one further question, ?.hat has been gained by this controversy, like the question that in former times was askec by the grandchild of the grandfather in rela lion to the great battle, " What has all this been about ?:> Senators know very well thal when tho Thirty-ninth Congress met, -thc work of restoration, accordin?; to the policy af Mr. Johnson, was almost completed. Con stitutions had been adopted in thc Southvru States abolishing slavery, or declaring it abol ?shed forever, repudiating the Southern debt and making every pledge to thc Federal Union which Northern sentiment demauded ; but Congress intervened against that policy and interposed its own, and now the people, after two or three years of delay, of distrac tion, of the disturbance of trade and com merce, want to know what has been gained by it. When you come to answer that ques tion to the people you cannot show them a singl? Southern Constitution which any Re publican mind can say is a better. Constitu tion than had been adopt-d under the Johnson policy, unless you say it is a better Constitu tion because the negroes arc enfranchised and R part of the whites disfranchised, and the power in the great section of the country taken from the white men aud given to the colored men. The people will want to know why it is that after the close of the war, after there wa3 no longer a rebel soldier with a gun in his baud, alter the South had amended its Constitution? and changed its laws according to the demands of the North in every particu lar, after they had declared slavery abolished, secession a fallacy, aud the rebel debt not to bc collected, why, then, in one-third of this country, did the party in power break down State governments and establish in their stead military governments ; why was it in that work you made the civil law subordinate to the military law; the judge upon the bench subordinate to the commanding officer, -and gave to the military officer the power to drive the legislators from the halls of legislation, and to substitute mon of his own selection in their place, and subverted all the principles of free government, recognized, honored, rind revered in this country, and -established in their stead a system of government that finds no paraliel ia any of the countries of the world since the days of the proconsuls. To that question, it seems to mo, it will b"c diffi cult to find a suitable answer. It is not enough to say that in neighborhoods there were broils and murders. Why, sir, some time ago I read to the Senate, from one of the papers published in this city,-a telegram coming from the central portion of Alabama, that the filth white mun hid been murdered in the same neighborhood, and no notice whatever had been taken of i? ; and that, too, Under the goyernpient? military, powerful, and despotic, which you had established there. Mr. President, when the people of the coun try demand to know of their legislators why civil law is subordinate to military law; why the judge upon the bench is stripped of tis robes of office, and.in his 6tead lhere is sub stiluted a military commander to decide upon the rights of the people ; when they demand to know why in secret commission and mili tary court the citizen is tried for a criminal offense, or touching a civil right, why these things are done in this country in a time of profound pews, SQIUO frraye and weighty an swer must bc given ihyic. They will want io know why it is that you pretend for tho time to repudiate on the partr of Congress the right to establish negro suf frage in the Northern States and yet estab lish it in the Southern States ; why it is that you rally Uf on a platform attempting to avoid the responsibility ot this issuu at home, ajnd yefaould ?eek to establish such a system of suffrage in ten of the : States of the South ; and what answer will you give? Do you tell the people of the North that they are not in terested in the question of suffrage in the Southern States? You cannot make that answer, for this fall it may occur, that thc ne gro votes of the South will - decide the Presi dential election. It may occur that a major ity of the electoral votes in the North will be o?sroor^ by .the-negro-Toles-of thc'Sc^O^ It ? m tty not .so^ occur; bunyet if it does ocbxfr, j and if the colored people of ?be Southern States, holding the balance of political power in this country, shall deeide who is to be tl President of the United States, is not tb: coming home, as a practical and direct que tion to every Northern man, hi> vote bc? overcome by the vote of the colored man;' the South, and that, toa, by an. act of Coi gress? So that the people of the North wi want to understand how it is that you pr tend not to force upon them negro, suffraj at home, and yet to establish it in ten of U States of the South. The people wijl want to know why, in time of peace, tho rights of the citizens'hal been trampled under loot, and the anciei writs of the law which protect and secdj them in their property and their porsonj liberty have been abrogated; why^is it-th] instead of the courts of law where men ai heard lace to face, the - witnesses called fat to face, the jury from the neighborhood heil ing all the evidence, deciding the case, wjj that mode of trial in court has been abolish^ and in its stead has been established the mj itary court, where there are none of the guan? and securities for . justice that a thousal years of experience have shown to be essejj tial 1 ?% *cr. President, the two parties into whid '" .?people vt this country are now divide! have declared their platforms of principle! they have put their ticket in nomination, aja it is for the people now to decide, which se of .principles they will adopt, and whi?hjt of candidates they will elect. Upon thl subject I have but very few remarks to sffi mit. -a ' Tn my opposition to the ticket that wa nominated at Chicago I never exp v* ??2 it upon personal grounds. I recognize . th gentleman at the-head of that-ticket us a: eminent military.man, and his associate ts distinguished . civilian. Against them, per sonally, I expect never to express a selp meut. I oppose their ejection because tts; have become, by acquiescing in their nomi nation, the representatives of the sentiment that bave controlled ' Congress for thc Ins three years ; because they stand upon a pjfft form which is objectionable in part and ?qw ocal in part. The Convention at New York has express ed its views in a platform which in no sectrbi eau be misunderstood. The mao that rdi! may read and understand. The plainest-n: well as the most learned will interpret^ alike. Tt dec?a-res our views and our Bur poses so distinctly and emphatically, thaajnt people are not and /cannot be misled. st.. The contrast between the two pl?tfdmj struck me with great force as I listenedgii the Senator from New Jersey [Mr. Frewg huyseu] some minutes since, as ho readarif of the sections of the Chicago platformaer daring that the public debt must be patd'ia accordance with the letter and thc spirimpj the law. What does that mean? My^ffil; league would say, I have no doubt, tbaJTit means one thing, and the Senator from Ssw Jersey would claim that it means anotbjn&d very different thing. M?qy Senators 4SSm that the spirit of the law is that tim ijgfls shall all be paid .in gold ; while other.HRS tors, eminent and dear-headed, say tnttftt means they shall be paid in greenbacks,.if Congress chooses so to pay them. The resolution of the Democratic conven tion is os follows : " Payment of the public debt of tho l??tit ed States as rapidly as practicable ; all moneys drawn irom tise people by taxation, exce'ifeo m iwh aa- isTea^i^?teJoj^tbg rtecegj^fclpf itfo? Governmeut, economically administered, be ing honestly applied to such payment ; and where the obligation's of-the Government do not expressly stato upon their face, or tho law under which they were issued does not provide that they shall be paid in coic, they ougut in right and in justice be to paid .~ the lawful money of the Uuited States." The resolution declares that, unless the ob ligation issued by the Government, or the law authorizing its issue, expressly provides that it is to be. paid in gold, it may bo paid in lawful money. The la>v authorizing the issue of the five twenties provided for a lawful money, and declares Treasury notes, with the legal ten der clause, to be lawful money ; and neither the law nor the obligation provides that these bonds shnli .be paid ip gold. Goverror Seymour stands upon this plat form, and I claim that the platform explains itself, and standing upon the'platform, his position is not and cannot be misunderstood. I had thought of reading one or two other of tho resolutions adopted al New York, in contrast'with the resolutions adopted*at Chi cago, to show that at New York positions were assumed plainly, distinctly, directly, so that the people could not be misled by any thing that was there said. But, sir, as it would likely take more time tbuu 1 nm able to accupy this morning, I will not go further io that direction. With a platform explicit ajd direct upon all the great questions that now attract public attention, it only remains to inquire who are the men that stand upon it; 1 need not, in addressing either the Senate or the country, occupy much time in speaking pf Governor Seymour.. He bas been long known to the country as erne of the first ot her statesmen. ? ripe scholar and profound thinker, in times and in positions of great difficulty he hos done the State much .-ervice. ' He has filled posi tions the" highest tn this country except that tb which he has been nominated, and to whiph, in my judgment, he will be elected; A states man cool in thought and efficient in action be will command the confidence of the coun try. I know that criticisms have been made upon his conduct during the war. I am glad that it requires, but a sentence to answer all criticisms. So efficient was he as the Execu tive of the great State of New York, in the raising of troops, and especially in the aid he gaye to the Government about the time of the battle of Gettysburg, that ?Ir. Lincoln re turned him, in the most earnest and emphat ic manner, his tbauks. Hois an Eastern, man, but he-is accepta ble to the Northwest. We know from the .sentiments that he hos already expressed that he is not a sectional man. He is a man who, at the head ot this Government, will recognize all sections, and respect aud labor to promote the interests of-each. : While the chief Exe cutive of the State ot New York he favored, publicly and privately, that policy which would encourage the producers of the great North west. .He favored on the part of thc State of New York the adoption of a policy that would allow our heavy freight to pass over tho State canal almost without charge ; and if his policy had been carried out to the ex tent that he desired the Northwest would have been benefited to the extent of millions of dollars. A national man, fair to all sec tions, he may well receive the support not only of bis own but of that section from which 1 come ; and I beHeye that he will receive a support, whether sufficient to control the votes in tho South or not, I will not say, but a cordial support in that section of the union. Whether he can obtain'the electoral votes ii, the Southern States will depend, in my ju jg. ment, upon the question whether the milita ry are kept organized in those States, and the Freedmen's Bureau, with its party machinery, to control the elections. Of Gen. Blair, tho candidate for the Vice Presidency, I need say but little to the Sen ate. He was at one time a member of the other branch of Congress, and recognized by all as possessing high attainments and abili ties. Talented^ generous, and brave, he will teccive an enthusiastic support? -Connected with the army, and participating in- some of. its grand movements that have made its her. roes immortal, bis name and fame will be cherished ?nd guarded by bis late associates ' in arms. The criticisms, sharp and ingeni ous, that bare been made upon the views which be may have expressed upon the con dition and rights ot" the people of the subju gated States, will not be heeded by the peo ple when they reflect that you have shut the door of the Supreme Court against all inqui ry in regard to the legislation which he has denounced. You have declared that your legislation shall not undergo that review and examination which the Constitutiou itself con templated. You have declared tbat'thu judi ciary shall not decide whether 3 our acts of reconstruction are constitutional and valid. You have therefore left it to the Executive to decide for itself.. ? Mr. President, I believe that the highest interests of this country demand the election of this ticket, and that it will be elected, and that the country will again be restored to permanent peace-peace that rests not upon subjection to despotic power, but upon ibo restored supremacy of tho Constitution and tho rigtful authority of all the departments of tho Government-and to a prosperity as en during as that 'peace. -? -?- * The Capacity of the Negro lor Self? Government. As in this countr,- the experiment is now being made on a largo scale of entrusting the powers of government tothe'negro, it becomes a matter of interesting inquiry (says the Charleston Mtrciiry) to know: what capacity he has for the ta?k. *To judge of this cor rectly, we should not confine om isquiries to the negroes of the Southern States, who have tor .years been under the compulsory training of the whites. Thc superiority of the South ern freedman of to-day over tho wild.African of a hundred years ago from whom lie is de scended, only proves that the ra.ee may bo taught, not thut it will learn of its own ac cord ; that it can be compelled to improve, not that it has the elements of progress with in itself, oreven that it would voluntarily fol low au cxampleof improvement. This Could only be proved by an iustaace of a progres sive couutry controlled by negroes! That instance is wanting. History is all tho other way. _ The negroes of Hayti who became in dependent fifty years ago with a tolerable share of civilization acquired by training, and the advantage of a' sligut mixture of Circas sian blood, now have a government scarcely better than that of Dahome or Egba. Our freedmou are mostly the descendants of West Africans, and the nations, or rather tribes of that pi rt of the world are now as barbarous as whe 1 the first cargo of slaves was shipped to America. If W. J. Whipper, the most intelligent pure-blooded negro in the ?Colum bia Legi>latdre, were to visit Dabome at the present lime, he could easily find the coun terpart of his great, great grand-father, save only perhaps that he would be armed with a musket instead of a bow and arrow, wear a calico mg in place of n grass tie, and driok blood fi om an earthenware lea cup rather than from a skull, if negro rule is allowed to become an established fact in South Caro lina, we have no reason to doubt that Whip per's great, great grand child, will also be an excellent counterpart of thc venerable ances tor alrendy mentioned. In confirmation or these views we take the following extract from " Routledge's Natural History of Man," a work prepared by Rev. J. G. Wood, M. A. F. L. S., &c, &c. /There is a very re > arkable point about the tiaie flegroof Western Africa, namely, the lise which he has inade o? his contact" wi tb civilization. It might be imagined that he would have raised himself iii the social ?cale by his frequent intercourse with men wiser and more powerful than himself, nnd who, if perhaps they may not have l>een much bott?T in a moral point of view, could not possibly have been WOKS. But he has done nothing of tho kind, and, instead of giving up his old barbarous custom*, has only increased th<-ir barbarity by the additional meuns which bc has obtained from thc white man. Exchanging the bow and arrows for the gun, and the club for the sword, lie has em ployed his better weapons in increasing his destructive powers, and has chiefly used them in Gghtingund selling into slavery those whom be had previously fought, and who res.pecred him as long as thc arms on both sides were equal. And the strangest thing is that, even considering his captives as so much property, the only excuse which could be fotaud for the savage cruelty with which be makes raids on every town which he thinks he can conquer, he has not yet learned to abolish the dread ful "custom" of human sacrifices, although each prisoner or criminal killed is a dead loss to him.

When his little boy of twelve years of ago rides to school every day he is accompanied by two orderlies in the uniform of the United States army. lu re terring to this a correspondent of the Macon (Ga.) .Telegraph relates the following incident of General Jackson's last visit to New Orleans: "Thu fatigues of the day ended, tho old hero repaired with many of the citizens to apartments prepared for him in that magnifi cent structure, the St. Louis Hotel. The captain of an Irish company detailed a stal wart son of Erin as a sentinel at the General's door. There ho was, walking his rounds,' when the General observed him, and turning to General Lewis, asked : " What does this mean ?" " Only a sentinel at your door, General."

True taste ideal fancy feigns Whilst on poetic wings; 'Love earth, and nil that earth contains, Unbounded fancy springs. To dwell on earth's gross element, Let groveling spirits bear, Whilst I, on noblu plans intent, Build Castles in the Air. No neighbours there can disagroo, Or thwart what I design, For thero not only all I see, But all I wish is minc. No surly neighbuur's leave I want To muko or pull down fonce ; I build, I furnish, lay out, plant, Regardless of expense. One thing, indeed, excites my fear, Nor let it seem surprising, Since Radicals, from year to year, New taxes are devising. Lest earth being taxed,-as soon it may, Beyond what earth can bear; Our Congressmen a tax should lay On Castles in the Air ! Well, with thc end tho tax would suit, Did they in these our days, Ideal plans to execute, Ideal taxes raise Thc Israelites Down on tirant. A large and euthusia-tio meet ol* the Isra elites of Memphis was held in the hall of the Memphis Club, last night, (says the Avalanche, of the Kith,) in response to a call published in the city papers. Every scat was filled, and many had to content tbemaelve* with sraeding room. In point of numbers, wealth and re spectability, it was the mor-t influential .-Get ing, of a religious or political caste, beid in tbis city for some months. The following resolutions were adopted without a dissenting voice in this assemblage of Jewish citizens of all political stripes: - Whereas, Ulysses S. Grant, General of the United States, did, in his official capacity, is sue, or caused to be issued, an order known as General Order No. ll, dated at Oxford, Mississippi, December 17, 18G2, and which order is hereunto appended ; and . Whereas, The said General Order No. ll was an unjust and wanton libel, not upon in dividuals; but expressly made to apply to the whole race of Israel, branding w as faithless, dishonest and disloyal, and its purpose and effect Wero to persecute and prc secute those to whom it was applied, on account of their birth, which, with their religion, is their only crime: and Whereas, The said Ulysses S. Gi ant is now before, the country as a candidate for tho highest office in the gift of the American peo ple therefore : Resolved, That we, the Israelites of the city of Memphis, do believe that the said U. S. Grant bas, by the said order, showD himself to be a man unfit for the high position to which he aspires, and incapable of adminis tering the laws to all classes with impartiality and without prejudice. Resolved, That we each and every one, in dividually and collectively, as Israelites, who have respect for our honor and our religion, pride in-our race and love lor oui country, do pledge ourselves to use every honorable means in our power to defeat the election of thc said U. S. Grant. Resolved, That this meeting is ut>v called f ir any political or (larty purpose, bin Solely to defeat the man who hus, by his Order Ji ll, insulted thc whole Jewish race. ' " Resolved, That we exhort and admonish our bre bren in ibis and all other cities and towns in tin; Uu ted States, as-they value re ligious liberty and their rights, to do all in their power to defeat the i-aid Ulysses S.

Of all men who may rightlully complain of the enormities of Radicalism, and who may rightfully denounce them, the Federal soldier has the best right and strongest grouuds. We mean, of course, the patriotic soldier, whoen listed in the army to prevent a division of the Union and the destruction of the Constitu tion ; who, accepting the solemuly plighted faith of the Government-that the war should be prosecuted for no purposo "of coi.quest or subjugation, nor for any purpose of interfer ing with the established institutions of any State, but .-imply to preserve the Union un der the Constitution with the dignity, equality, and rights of the several Slates unimpaired'* -responded to'the call for troops, as was the cas? especially with all Kentuckians. They have a right tocomplain because they have been cruelly and shamefully betrayed by the authorities controlling the goverome?t. They enlisted to preserve the Union ; their services were perverted into its destruction They assumed the duties and risked the dan gers of the camp and the battle-fidd td per petuate the Constitution ; their sacrifices and valor are made the means of its destruction. They enlisted under the solemn prorrise of the government that the "established institu tions, dignity, equality, and rights of the States should be preserved," and fiad, at the end of tho contest, that they have be-u made the unwilling instruments of utterly destroy ing all these sacred boons. They enlisted to "save to the Unios ten States of white men, and find their suocess made to substitute teu colonies of niggers for those States. - We make au appeal to the honest, patriotic, gallant, chivalrous "white boy in.blue," to pouder over these facts, and then answer us if he will longer.suatain his betrayers-. .

THE CARTET-DAGGERS.-The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun has buta poor opinion of the new Congressmen. He says : It is doubtful whether some of the gentle men claiming lo be representatives wiil ever return to their reputed constituencies. Having been elected by military influence, they will serve a brief season in Congress, pocket their five thousand dollars per annum, and the places South that " once knew them will know them no more forever." The Washington correspondent of the Bal timore Gazette, under dato of thc 2 lt h i 115t., says: Since the introduction into thc House of tho Southern representatives (?) a novel inno vation has been made in the manner of vo ting in that body. Whenever any que-tion is up and a vote about being taken, the ervrpet bne members aro visited by thc. pages, who whisper (loud erough to he heard hy others] " the speaker ays vote aye." or " the speaker says vote nay." ns the case may be. A few days nineo the Radicals divided on a question, and G?nerai Butler ventured to instruct the new mcmber;* au to how they should vote,, but a brother- Radical seeing thc " dodge," fol lowed, on his track and gave each a lesson On the opposite aide. The vote. was. taken, and to 'hu .great disgust of tho Ijerpof Rig Bethel, the C?irp?t-baggi?rs all voted against him, in spite of bis nodi and winks. Gen. Blair's Letter of Acceptance. Th?; fellowing is the letter of Genial Frank j Blair accepting tuc nomination for Vice president of thc National Democratic Con vention : .OMAHA, NEBRASKA, July 13,18C8. Gtneral George IV. Morgan, Chairman Cont millee National Democratic Convention : GENERAL-I take the earliest opportunity j of replying to yuujr Jei ter, notifying iue of my j nomination fur Vice Pre idctit ot the United j States by the National Democratic Conven- j tion, recently held in ibo Cit) <.(' N?:W York, j I accept without hesitation the nomi nation tendered in a mauner so gratifying, and give you and the committee my thanks for tho very kind and complimentary language in which you have conveyed to me the decision cf thc Convention. 1 have carefully read the resolutions adopt ed by the Couventiou, and most cordially con cur in every priuciple and sentiment they an* nounce. . My opinion upon all of the questions which discriminate the great contending parties have been freely ' expressed on all suitable occa sions, ::ud I do not deem it necessary at thia time to reiterate them. Tho isai'Ca upon which the contest turns arc clear, and cannot be obscured or distort ed by the sophistries of our adversaries. They all resolve themselves into Ihe.old and ever renewing struggle of a few men to absorb the political power of the natiou. This, effort, under ever}'conceivable name, and disguise, has always characterized the opponents of the Democratic party, but at no lime bau the attempt assumed a shape so open awi daring as in ibis contest. The adversaries ol fre: and constitutional government, in defiance of the express language of the constitution; have erected a military despotism in ten of the States of the Union, have taken from the President the powers vested iu him by the supreme law, and have deprived thc- Supreme Court of its jurisdiction. The right ot' trial by jury, aud the great writ of right, the ha beas corpus-shields of safety for every citi zen, and which have descended to us from the earliest traditions of our ancestors, and which our Revolutionary fathers sought to se cure to their posterity forever in the funda mental character of our liberties-have been ruthlessly trampled under foot by the frag ment of a Congress. Whole States and com munities of people of our own race have been attainted, eouvieted, condemned, and:depriv ed of their rights as citizens, without present meut, or trial, or witnesses, but by congres sional enact meut of ex post facto laws; and iu defiance of the constitutional prohibition de nying even lo a full and legal Congress the authority to pass any bill of attainder br ex post facto hw. The same usurping authority mis suhsniuird as electors in place of the men of our own race, thus illegally attainted and disfranchised, a host ol ignorant negroes, who arc supported in idleness with the public money, and combined together to strip the ? white rsce of their birthright, through the management of Freedmen's Bureaus and tbe emissaries of conspirators in other Statea; and. to complete the oppression, the military power of the nation has been placed at their disposal, in order to make this barbarism su preme. The military leader under whose prestige this usurping Congress has taken refuge since the condemnation of their schemes by the free people of the North in the elections of the fast-year, and-whom they- have selected as their candidate to shield themselves from the result of their own wickedness encl crime, ha-- iimiour.ced his acceptance ot the nomina tion, und bis willingness to maintain their usurpa1 ions over eight millions of white peo ple al. the South, fixed to tbe earth with his bayonets. He exclaims: u Let us have peace." " Peace reigns in Warsaw," was the announce ment which heralded thc doom of the liberties of a nation. "The Empire is peaee," ex claimed Bonaparte, when freedom and its de fenders expired under tho sharp edge of his sword. The peace to which G/rapt invites us is the peuce ol despotism and death. Those who seek to restore the constitution by executing the wili of the people condemn ing thc Uecori6tructiou ads, already pronounc ed in the elections of last year, 'and whic'r will, I am co vinced, be still more emphati cally expressed by the election of the'Demo cratic candidate as the President of the Unit ed States, are denounced as revolutionists hy the partisans of this vindictive Congress. Ne gro suffrage, which tho popular vote of New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania. Ohio,'Mtch ?gan, Connecticut and other States have con demned as expressly against the letter of the constitution, must stand, because their sena lora and representatives have willed it. If - the people shali again condemn these atroci ous measures by the election of the Democrat ic candidate for the President, they must not bo disturbed, although decided lo be uncon stitutional by the Supreme Court, and although tho President is sworn to maintain aud sup port the constitution. Tho will of a fraction of a Congress, reinforced with its partisan emissaries sent to thc South aud supported there by ihe soldiery, must stand agaim-t the will of the people and the decision of the Supreme Court, and the solemn oath of the President to maintain and support the consti tution. It is revolutionary to execute the will of tho people ! It is revolutionary to execute the judgment of the Supreme Court 1 It is revo lutionary in the Presiden; to keep inviolate his oath to sustain thc constitution ! This i false construction of thc vital principle of our government is the last resort bf those who would have their arbitrary reconstruction s^ay and supercedc our time-honored institut tion8? The natiou will say the constitution must be restored, and the will of tho people agnin prevail. The appeal to the peaceful ballot to attain this end is not war, is not revolution. They make wat- and revolution who attempt to arrest this quiet mode cf put- : ting aside military despotism and the usur pations of a fragment of a Congress, asserticg absolute power over that benign system of regulated liberty left us by our fathers. This ' must be allowed to take ita course. This is 1 the only loud to peace. It will come with the election of the Democratic candidato, and not with thc election of that mailed warrior, whose bayonets are now at tho threat of eight millions cf people in the South, to com pel them to support him as a candidate for thc Presidency, and to submit to the domina- ? tion of an alien race of semi-barbarous men. No perversion of truth or andacity of mis representation ?an exceed that which hails this candida e in arms as an angel of peace. I ara, very respect fid ly, Your most obedient servant, FBANK P.

THE COLORED DEMOCRATS.-A .prominent feature in the Democratic Ward Club proces sion, on Friday night,. was the merece, of over three hundred colored DemocraU. We are glad to note this, aa.it is un iudica?ou of the return of reason. The colored people, we think, begin- to realize thai, their tmc,hi tcrcsts lie with those of tho., white peojij^of the State.

Unj.il the laboring class of a community perceive- that their interests are inseparable from those of. thc land owners, complete harmony cannot be expected; and the sooner the colored peo ple recognize thc truth of this the better for them.

As-soon as he had taken the position a window was cp?ned, and a lovely-femate lace appeared,.. which seemed to beam with sympathy and anxiety. She soon retired, and sent li ?man umbrella by a servant. He fell at once des perately in tove, and thinking from her nnx-. ious'looks that tho feeling was-reeiprecated, he called or. her the next* morning, sent ap bis card, and gave into htr' own hand a-rwy costly umbrella he had purchased in plh.ee of the old and shabby one he had borrowed, and then wound up all by making a profession of love. The young lady, without even noticing the exchange that had been made, perceiving how her act had been misinterpreted, naively replied : " I feel it to be my duty to undeceive you, sir. At the time of the shower I was anxiously expecting a gentleman who is, I confess, very dear ' to me, who wished to Bec mc in private, and my only motive for send ing von the umbrella was to get* you off tho steps." ' . One of our religious exchanges has rite following strong remarks on the subject of debt: " Men may sophisticate as much as (bey please. They can never make it right, and all the universe cannot make it right lor them not to pay their debts. There ia a sin io this neglect as deserving church discipline ns stealing or false swearing. He who violates his promise to pay, or mthholds hi.t poux? io meet the engagement, ought to feel that in the sight of all honest men be is a swindler.
