A Washington telegram' ?it August ll to the New York World BayB: " Host extraordinary rn mote are afloat in this city touching the unexpected return of General Grant from hts Westemr4?ur, and its relation to th? political canvass. From all I can gather among dioso best acquainted with the views of tie members of the BepuMfpan National Com? mittee, it appears that private letters hare been received from members' of Grant's party, showing an anxiety on the part of the General to throw up the candidacy for the Presidency. To ? this he has been moved by overwhelming' evidences from every quarter of the utter vint oT Spirit in the Republican canvass, and the tremendous pop? ular tide running in faVor'of the Democratic ticket. AU the letters received here, both by the Congressional and- -Rational I Republican Committees, are sorely discouraging the Radi? cal leaders, nor are the letlera from the South le 38. slaming. The blacks cannot be controll? ed, and all effort s on the pct of carpet-baggers to prevent excesses have io fur failed, and the Radicals see that a contin?anos of these riotous and incendiary acts on th? part of the colored population will add hundreds of thousands to tho Demociatic vote in th?' -North. Hence the sudden stoppage of Grant's Western trip, hence the rumors that ho is ? about to throw up the candidacy, and the intimations throwa out in political circles that the Republican National Convention will be called together again, and rumors-have it that the nomination will be tendered lo General Sherman.

They are acts which the platform means to say? have overthrown, without the Slightest rig ht,1t he very constitu? tion itself.'

By the platform, it is rea adjudicala^ and Mr. Seymour, as the Democratic candidate, for the Presiden? cy, binds himself to it aa a contracting party.

I OBE\T BEiCTION AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE AGAINST THE SCALAWAGS AND CARPET-BAGGERS. THE MOVEMENT SPREADING THROUGH THE SOUTH, y We are glad ti eeo from our exchanges in the various Southern States, that the.freed? men are at last awake to the folly of trusting the pack of shiftless and unprincipled adven? turers who have heretofore been their party leaders. Colored Democratic Clubs are teing formed in all port ons of the country, address? es from leading colored Democrats are scatter? ed abroad, and tho negro is at last finding out that his beat friend is the white man with whom ha has been brought up, and with whose interests be must in the future be identified. SOUTH-CAROLINA. In Charleston, though little has been done publicly, tho colored Democratic clubs are in a flourishing condition. The Ward No. 6 club at one time numbered about Ave hundred mombers, but many of these have now joined the club of the ward in which they five. In Wards Nos. 3 and 1 there are also colored clubs, and in a short time there will be one in each ward of the city. At least one thousand colored Democrats may now be counted on. They are respectable men, and have joined the Democratic party from a conviction that Radi? calism is only the road to min. Altogether, the movement shows encouraging elements of strength and prosperity. Throughout the State the chango of senti? ment among the freedmen is even more de? cided, as the statements published from time to time in our columns will have shown. There is hardly a district in tho State that does not boast one or more Democratic clubs, and the disaffected members of the Union Leagues are doily coming over. vinoiNiA. In the Old Dominion where the white vul? tures from the North, who deceive and prey upon the blacks, are more numerous than in any other State, there is a great reaction of sentiment among the colored people in favor of their former masters. We copy the follow? ing address which a Virginia freedman has is? sued to his colored brethren : The writer of this, a colored man, made free by the late war. desires to commune with you on matters which concern your peace aud pros? perity, as well as the happiness of the commu? nity in which we hve. Can the colored race prosper in a state of strife and antagonism to the whites ? I answer unequivocally, no. The whites are the majority; they own the soil and the prop? erty of the country. They have more resour? ces; they are more enterprising and determin? ed; tho laws protect thom in the peaceful en? joyment of what belongs to them. Violence on our part will not be tolerated. We must submit to the lawp. Then we cannot cope with tho whites. They represent the power and influence of the government, North and South. Why should there bo antagonism between the races ? I answer there is no sufficient reason for such a state of things. The whites have declared no war against us. Our me? chanics and tradesmen, painters, barbers, car? penters, shoemakers, bricklayers, porters, gardeners, factory hands and dining-room servants have been generously patronized and liberally paid, while white men, equally com? petent and equally worthy, have failed to get work. Look at it calmly and tell me if we have met the good deeds of the whites in the proper spirit? What return have we made for all these acta of kindness? I answer, while living on I the bounty of our white benefactors, ase pre te nd mr; to their faces the greatest de and gratitude, wo have invited amonpus less adventurers from the North, and e outcasts of white sooiety.at home, and se and deceitfully formed ourselves into bound leagues, in antagonism to the ir and honor of the very best men whose kii shelters, clothes and feeds us. We bavi all that we could do to degrade them by p over them ignorant ana corrupt men. aspired to rule and govern the very me own toe soil we cultivate, the bousefe we py-who employ ns in the business of life aid us in building oar churches, and wbc ter and feed our families'. What claims have the Radicale to .our i ?What have they done for. us? They te they restored yon to freedom. The Ba ?have sprung np since the war. They come into existence as a party since tnt and since you were emancipated, and of c they did not free you. The Radical parly has no claims on us; are our natural enemies; they are the des ants of the men who sold, our fathers slavery, and they are now oppressing their unjust taxation ; they are robbing the means of earning an honest living wi beneficing the government. They will : do you any good; Beggars hardly ever tribute much, to those from whom they li bogging. My friends, I have spoken to you kindh plainly. I would warn yon of- the danger before you.' I Warn you against the'men would receive -office at your hands and. 1 desert you in the hour, of sorest need, away from such creatures and come bat tho friends to whom your mind? axe al wa; rected in time of sorrow-the friends whi do most for you. * HOBTH CAB0LT5A.

Dimon, who, in a brief and patriotic address, explained tho object of thc assem blage, and expressed to them his views in re gard to their social and political status. Ar interchange of sentiment led to the conclusion that the colored people have at last found oui who their true friends are. There was hold recently at Demopolis, Ala., a Seymour and Blair ratification meeting at? tended almost exclusively by negroes, and ad? dressed by four while men aDd the following black speakers: Jim Westbrook, Jack Lee, Bon? bon Byan, Sandy Cameron, Wm. Boberts and Jule Armstrong. The New Era furnishes the following report of tho black men's speeches : But when Jim Westbrook (colored), from Jefferson, arose to break the spell and sunder the chain in which the carpet-baggers and scalawags sought to manacle his race by secret oaths and midnight gatherings in secret places, the enthusiasm of the crowd could no longer be restrained, and Jim had to proceed with frequent interruptions from the cheering multitude. But he planted himself intelligent ly and foroibly apon tho nationalplatfoi exhorted his friends to do likewise. Ja (colored), of Dale County, addressed I oredfriends in abrief bnt telling speec lowed by Benben Byan, of Jefferson, speeches challenged the attention anc consideration of the crowd of colored lis present. But old uncle Sandy Cameron Hale, gave the finishing tonen to the c bag fraternity. Ho told them that h born in the South, that hs was a Southen and that the Southern men were his fr He had yet to learn of any got the black man that could come these Yankee pedlars in secret pc The Southern men have never Iii him or deceived him when he was a j nor since he was free. That God had pu and the Southam m sn here upon the sam 1 and they must eim?r Etand or fall tog i The old mm gave then: a scathing reba being blindly bitched in by a. set of trav adventurers, who.had only leagued themi together as a kind of ladder upon whicl could climb into office; and wound' up b; i ing that "he had rather bo lathered with fortis and shaved with a handsaw, or h {tills hewed out with a broad axe than eft in the hands of such a set of scalar Uncle Sandy evidenced an unusual intelh) and acumen for a man of his color, withon vious advantage, aad we would not be afr pit him against the best carpet-bagger '< batch. Long may his gray hairs ana lon ger wave to point his people - to- -the trutl their best interest. . . . ... Joseph E.

This club bids fair ti one of the largest in the State. Previous to adjournment, William Sherbr. the first vice-president, was lustily'called by the dub for a. speech. He alluded' to de&d issues the Radicals were constantly hi ing about, but the triumph of tho Dem oe always improved the colored people's con dit while Radicals robbed the country and dest ed their happiness.
