came, has been fairly given above. Most
Of the statements are familiar facts TO the
old settlers. The responsibility rests UPON
the old leaders of the very party that
now pretends to throw the blame upon re-
publicans. These same demagogues now
talk Of enacting laws to prevent negroes
from coming to the state, and even expelN
ling sach as were brought by the old dem
ocratie apostles. They talk loudly against
the negro coming north to settle among
the whites, and pretend to argue that these
negroes are an idle set, unable to support
themselves, and all such lying stuff. And
then they turn about and say that white
laboring men will have to leave their work
places and country 10 make room for me-
gro laborers. The naked truth is a lot
of rebel sympathizing democrats who new
err work--a set Of regular village loaters,
ever awaiting chances to cheat somebody
or commit frauds upon laboring men, put
their idle time in at slandering the negroes
and all others who live by industry. One
such at Platteyille, who never paid debt
in his life and lately cheated his partner
ont Of the joint earnings, has started So
called democratic club, but really club !,
aid Tie rebels; bis partner in the club-a
rampant cIamorer for "the Constitution as
it is and the Union as it was" aided some
years ago to bribe the legislature. This is
the way he supported the union and con-
stitution. Wherever in ell the country
these so-called democratic clubs are form
inc, the same clubs Of loafers are at the
! lead. with hardly an exception.

Gov. SEYMouR's MEssAeE.-We should
have been better pleased with the message
of Governor Seymour, bad be insisted up,
on what every Northern Democrat must
insist upon in order to maintain political
power, that, pending the rebellion, not one
word can be offered as to the property rights
of men in aims against the Government,
until those men lay down arms and bow ia
the Constitution Of the u. s. This is the
point to which Democrats must come.
When the rebels do this, and not until then,
will the people listento peace propositions.
The Southern people who desire restora
ton Of the Union-and there are thou
sands Of them, some of them shareholders
will be dissatisfied with anything less /;
the rebels are not entitled to anything more.

ident has no constitutional power" DC. +;
our reply is, the rebels are outside the Con
stitution. They have no rights so long as
they are in rebellion.-N o., Picayune,

GENERAL REMARKS.

These several colonies have each proved
nucleus to attract colored people from
the south; there may be 100t to $50 blacks
Of all shades in the county-~shaded before
they came here, for we have never heard
-ofa clse of amalgamation among them
>ince their arrival. So far as we know,
previous TO the war no colofed people were
ever brought to the county or encouraged
to come by republicans Or abolitonists.
Since the war the colored colonies have in
creased; indeed strange blacks arc seen
every day about Lancaster and other
towns, probably contrabands, but this is
the result Of the great southern democratic
rebellion aud is inevitable. They will con-
tinuo to come, possibly in great numbers,
until the Proclamation is carried through
and the war closed, after which they will
return to their old homes, where their pre-
ferred climate is, aud where their labor is
most wanted.
The blacks Of the county, though ignor-
ant Of course as a result Of discouragng
intelligence amoHg thenb are as civil, in
lustrious and self-suppcrting as white peo-
pie; indeed, moro so as u general thing,
for there is not panper nor do we know
that crime has been recorded against
any one Of them for Years. They accu-
muato property upon an average with
white people. Only in point cf intelli-
gence do they average below. Had they
equal advantages Of education they ight
"A i5it equal intelligence with whites so
far AS can be kEs WI.
Low the blacks came 10 get a first start

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 2s---G


There is still sufficiently active demand for
money TO keep the rate for call loans at per
cent in the general market. At that figure, how.
ever, there is no difficulty among the brokers in
supplying themselves, on good collsterals, while
the old houses, ss usual have deposits left with
them by their customers at even lower rates.
The tendency Of the gold market has been rather
upward to-day; but at the advance the operations
were small, showing that there is not much dispo-
sition 10 operate for the rise. The opening price
was l4jlI, from which It advanced 10 Ilss., fell
back to las, rose 10 lt7h, and closed at IlCI.
Exchange participates in ne dllness. and the
business done has been small; but al the close
there was a better feeling, and the quotation for
bankers bills was lGi az.
The outside demand fer stocks continues 10 de-
velop itself more openly. and the course Of the
market to-day Is evidence Of the extension Of the
speculative feeling which exists among the public.
The confidence is 80 great In higher range OF
figures and the temptation 30 strong 70 buy be.
fore the rise, that there are few sellers except
such as are content with quick realization Of pro-
hts. Any attempt 20 bear the marke, only serves
TO give evidence Of its strength for although Erie
New York Central and Southern old were again
this morning selected as points Of attack. the
small decline was but temporary. While through.
oOi the rsmAiDdCr Of the lot the advance was very
