Will You Endorse Stanton?

Will You Endorse Stanton?
It cannot be denied that Edwin Il. Stan
ion, Secretary of War, is justly chargeable
with the long detention Of our prisoners IN
the Southern stockades, he having refused
persistently to exchange them, on the ground
that the rebels would not exchange whites
tor negroes. Thus, on acoount-of Stanton's
Whim in regard to the status Of the negro,
thousands of the unfort9aate braves who
fell into the hands of the rebels, perlshed
in the prisons of the South. This is sub
stantiated by Ar. j. H. Browne, the cor
respondent of the N. 7. Tribune, who was,
himself, prisoner at Andersonviile, and
who has always been an ardent "Repubi-
can In letter dated August 6, 1865,
Mr. Browne uses the following emphatic
language: ''That they (the Union pris-
oners at the South were not saved, IS dsse
alone to 1fr. Ed,cln II. tStenton's peculiar
policy and dOggea Ob8tinacy; and, as l
have remarked before, HE IS UNQUES-
TIONABLY THE DIGGER OF THE
UNNAMED GRAVES THAT CROWD
THE VICINITY, OF EVERY SOUTH
ERN PRISON, WITH HISTORIC
AND NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
HORRORS" This monster, who held IN
SO light esteem the lives CT the men who
were fighting to save his very neck, has
been endorsed in the most unequivocal
manner by the late Abolition State Con-
vention. The resolution OF approval of his
official conduct IS as follows:
Resoied, That We recognize in Edwin NJ Stanton the
present honest and able head Of the Department Of War
public servant who has deserved we'll Of his country and
has borne himself clear in his great office as ts merit
him and to his distinguished colleagues in tine Cabinet
our thanks their valuable services in the ber
y and law.-Ses Beatord Inquirer Aag. 25
Now, it is plain, that every vote cast for
the Abolition State ticket, at the coming
election, te an approo@ Of 5Stant0n's con-
1,sct 5,s refusing to exchange prisoners.
Are you quite prepared to do that, fellow
citizens? Are you entirely willing to say,
with the Abolition leaders who passed the
foregoing resolution, that the man who
might have saved the prisoners at Ander-
sonyille, but who permitted them to sink
into nameless graves, "merits the earnest
gratitude Of all loyal men?" Remember,
il you vote for Hartranft and Campbell,
YOU give your endorsement to Stanton, and
declare TO the world, that yo,e appr0ye of
hhe policy BY e0hich thousands Of tie 6rav6
settlers Of tie Union eoere doomed to, tsar-
tuE pri0ati0n, horrible suffering and ssn-
ti1nety daath Hoa0 can you do it?

Civil Reconstruction III Miasissippi--Let-
ter from the President to Governor

ter from the President to Governor
Sharkey.---fhe Southern People to be
Trusted in the work of Restoration.
NEw ORLEANS, September 7th.-A special
despatch from Jackson, Mississippi, TO the Times
Of this city, says General Socum, has recalled
his order opposing General Sharkey's call Tor
the militia.
Governor Sbarkey publishes the following
correspondence
Ii is believed there can be organized IN each
county "A force Of militia 10 preserve order and
enforce the civil authorities OF the State, and OF
the United States which would enable the Fed
eral Government to reduce the army, and with
draw, to great extent, the forces from the
State, thereby reducing the enormous expenses
of the government.
If there was any danger from an organization
of the citizens for the purpose indicated, the
military are there to suppress, on the fist ap-
pearanee, any move insurrectionary IN ITS char
acter. One great object is to induce the people
to come forward in defense Of the State and
Federal Government Gen. Washington decar-
ed that The people, or the militia, was the arm
of the Constitution, or the arm of the United
States, and as soon as it is practicable, the o.
riginal design of The government sho uld be re-
sumed under the principles of the great charter
of freedom, handed down to the people by the
founder of the republic. The people must be
trusted with their government, and if trusted,
my opinion is, that they will act in good faith,
and restore their former constitutional rela-
tions with all the States composing the Union.
The main object of Major Gen. Carl Schurz's
mission to the South was to aid, as much as
practicable, in carrying out the policy adopted
by the government for restoring tile States to
their former relations with the federal govern
ment II Is hoped such aid has been given
The proclamation authorizing the restoration
of State government requires the military to
aid the provisional governor in the perform
ance Of his duty as prescribed in the prOclama
ton and in no manner to interfere or throw
impediments in the way Of the consummation
of tbe object Of his appointment, at least with
out advising the government Of the intended in
reference.

Ohio Democracy.

The Ohio Democracy seem to be closing their
ranks for vigorous fight. Hon. Chiffon A.
White, the nominee of the petty State Sover-
eighty Convention for Lieutenant Governor,
has written letter declaring that the nomina-

or appreciation. He adheres to the regular
Democratic party and supports its representa-

met at Columbus on the oath ult., whereat
Gen. Geo. w. Morgan was made the standard

Hartranft and Mrs. Surratt.

Gen. Sherman said, in recent speech at
st. Louis, that the true soldier was no hang
man. Sherman can't have a very high O.
pinion of Hartranft, who had charge of the
hanging of Mrs. Surratt. What makes the
matter so much the worse for Hartranft, is
the fact that he sent letter to President
Johnson, avowing his belief in the inno-
cence of Mrs. Surratt, and yet, afterward,
acted as her executioner. A true soldier
would have resigned rather than he would
have done an act of such bloody inconsist-

The story OF the boy who caught the

quickly, Zip, I let you go again." is beau
tifulIy exemplifed by the dashing style in
which the Bedford Inquirer pitched into

to extricate itself from the dilemma into
which its rashness led it to plunge. Hav-

SHoDDY GONE UP IN IOwA.-The soldiers
and the Democracy of Iowa, with their candi-
date, Benton, are bound to carry the State a.
gainst the negro suffrage candidate of the Re
publicans, Judge Stone. The Soldiers conven-
ton numbered $50 members-sIl soldiers and
many of them wounded Three delegates
only withdrew, because Stone was not endOrs'
ed, viz: one commissary and two quartermas-
ter's clerks, who are known to the soldiers as
s'sow bellies" These three held Stone meet
ing and endorsed their negro suffrage candidate.
It was a bad move for the Republicans of Iowa
to put their candidate on the black platform,
directly and openly. They should have been
shrewd, like their Pennsylvania brethern, and
SO constructed their platform as to mean one
thing or another Had the Iowa Repubs a
platform like the Cameron gutta percha arrange
ment, they could, if successful, declare that it
was an endorsement of negro s'rights' and "uni-
versal suffrage" and if defeated, they could as
easily deny that they were whipped on the black

Speech of President johnson,

1t is with pleasure that we publish the an,
nexed speech Of President Johnson, to delega-
ton of Southern gentlemen who called upon
him, ON Monday last. 1t has a very strong
Democratic tendency. We hope the Bedford
Inquirer viii not forget to publish it MIR.
Mcfarland, of Virginia, having addressed His
Excelency, his speech elected the following
REPLY OF THE PRESIDENT
The President, in reply, expressed his sur
prise at receiving so large number of gentle
men from the South. He had no idea that
so many persons would call upon him when he
consented to this interview He could not
command language sufficiently to express the
deep qualification he felt at the visit and at the
patriotic remarks Of the speaker who had just
retired. He spoke of his antecedent position
before the civil war. He had urged his South
ern brethern to remain in the Union and then
contend for their Constitutional rights. He
felt it was their only safety and protection. He
had always been for the recognition of all the
Constitutional rights of the slave-owning States
and believed they could have been preserved
in the Union, if the issue had been made in
the forum instead of in the field. lie himself,
had been STAKEHOLDER, but he had made up
his mind that if the issue ever narrowed itself
down to the question of Union or slavery that
slavery must go and the Union be saved. He
had confidence in the expression just uttered of
devotion to the restoration of the Union, and
the professions of loyalty SO generally evidenc-
ed, and he was assured that the disposition
was to aid in building up the waste places of
the South, and restoring peace, happiness,
goodwill, and Union.
He did not believe the sensation letter wri-
ters and editors who were endeavoring to Gre
ate the impression that there exists in the South
disafection and dissatisfaction, for the presence
of so many eminent and distinguished gentle
men,. representing such large constituency
fully disproyed the fact, and gave the lie to
their penitent and malignant utterances. He
had confidence in the professions Of the people
Of the South, and of their purpose to restore
the Union upon the principles of the Constitu-
tion; and he hoped and believed they Were
ready to come up and rally around the Union
and the Constitution
The feud that existed was in family circle,
and the ties of friendship, now it had ended,
he trusted would be stronger and more endur-

How SINcU1GR-How strange il is that. the

nue. and tax laws are SO arranged that while
the farmers aud mechanics are taxed on all
they produce the bondholders are exempted
from bearing their share of the expenses of the

GEN. SLOCUM'S NoNINATIoN.-A question as
to whether General Slocum, now commanding

which states that his nomination was not made
until after very frank expression made by
him in letter of concurrence in the Democrat
ic policy, and a declaration that if nominated
be would resign his command ir the army to
meet, If necessary, the exigences of the canvas
