MERCY TO THE TRAITORS.

General John A. Logan is making tre-
mendous canvass in Illinois. The following,
in reply to his johnson competitor, serves
also as a rejoinder to such men as Edgar
Cowan, in this State, who are so eager that
the rebels shall be forgiven and the Radicals
hanged:
"Now, Ny friend Dickey says you must be
charitable and forgiYiDg and if we do that,
these people viii come back, and we will all
live happily together. Oh, yes, you must
forgive them-forgive them for the murder of
100000 of your boys and friends; forgive
them for draping this land in mourning and
causing rivers Of our best blood to flow;
forgive them for making different flag from
yours and firing upon ours; forgive them for
making q different Constitution and tramp
ling ours under foot; forgive them for making
different Government and trying to destroy
ours. They sought to do all this, but now
must be forgiven. Oh yes treason must be
forgiven, and loyalty must take back seat;
treason must take front seat. believe Lu-
cifer once tried to commit treason in Heaven.
Heaven was so merciful to him that the arch
angel Michael hurled him from Heaven head
long, and he went miles into hell; and have
not heard of his coming out Of there. Laugh
ter and cheers. If you want to get him out
OF that place, | don know how you will do it,
unless my friend Dickey applies to President
johnson for pardon. Great laughter l
can understand it in any other way.
This, then, IS the manner in which we
must deal with rebels. You have robbers,
murderers and plunderers in this country,
and you send them to the penitentiary. If a
man commits a murder, you hang him. Yet
these men committed treason against the
Goyernment-a higher crime than murder,
robbery or larceny, or than any other in this
ss3agggg; hVi, g5u ffi0sS I6fgT6 them. Laugh.
ter
Now, ask my friend Dickey this; "Why,
ifyou are 50 iorgiying and SO desirous that
traitors shall represent this countryl if you
are so desirous that traitors shall have seats
in Congress. why do you not 60 and unlock
the peuitenlisry doors and turn the murder
ers and robbers and thieves out upon the
people Of the country, and let them send
them to Congress if they desire TOP You have
just the same right that you have to send
these traiors there-precisely the same.
There is no difference at all

THE DEAD DUCKS.

The Gazette, we presume, win
contain some very significant
heads this " ~ek, such as Grand
triumph Of negro suffrage Y
Negro Equality Established! r
''The people sustain Congress in
giving $500 Extra Bounty to the
nigger and 500 to the white sol
der Y The Niger Picnic
Popular p Pennsylvania no
longer a white mans State p
"Copperheads must marry coIored
ladies y These significant heads
will be followed, quite probably,
with an elaborate argument to
satisfy the negroes that the Cop
perhead party was ever an earnest
and consistent advocate of the
cause Of the negro.
So efectual was the logic used
by the Gazette and the orators of
its party who harangued the, de-
lectable squads which assembled
in various school houses and bye
places throughout the county, that
the above side issues were the IS
sues of the canvas, that on
Wednesday morning, when the
telegraph announced the decisive
ness Of Geary's victory, one of
Che county leaders Of that party,
who had imbibed little too free
ly swore most Justify that since
the people had declared in favor
of Negro Suffrage" and Negro
Equality" that he should hang
himself The last that was seen
Of the afflicted and chagrined
Copperhead, who was determined
to thus sacrifice himself upon the
altar Of Copperheadism. he was
in the hands of Il. +. Kerr, Esq.
who was endeavoring, by the
most subtle logic, to convince
him that it was a useless sacrifice,
as the cry Of Negro suffrage"
and Negro Equality" was only
intended to gull the ignorant, Mr..
Kerr supposed that every leader
of the party understood as much
and that it was entirely unneces-
sary to make any Explanations af-
ter the election, and further, if he
insisted on hanging himself, that
il must be evident to every intel
Iigent mind that it would be .
dead loss Of one vote and the par
ty had lost already too much in
Bedford township. Whether the
individual has hung himself or
not, we can not say, but those de
suing to know are referred to
Mr.. Kerr who can give them all
the satisfaction IN lhe world.

some sewing machine which has been made

the paragraph; ft5r
'sAs the sewing machine has been advan-

Proclamation OF the President of the
United States Appointing Thursday,
November 29th, Day of National
Thanksgiving.
WAsHNGToN, Oct. 8.
The following proclamation has just been
issued by the President Of the United
States:
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, has
been pleased to vouchsafe to US as people
another year Of that national life which is an
indispensable condition Of peace, security
and progress. That year has, moreover,
been crowned with many peculiar blessings
The civil war, that so recently closed among
us, has not been anywhere rcopened. Eor-
eign intervention has ceased to excite alarm
or apprehension. Intrusive pestilence has
been benignly mitigatcd domestic tranquil
ity has improved; sentiments of Cancellation
have largely prevailed, and the affections of
loyalty and patriotism have been widely re-
ceived Our fields have yielded quite abun-
dainty; our mining industry has been richly
rewarded, and we have been allowed to ex-
tend our railroad system far into the recess
es Of the country while our nation has re-
sumed its customary activity in foreign seas.
The great national blessings demand
national acknowledgement.
Now, therefore, |, Andrew johnson,
President Of the United Stetes, do hereby
commend that Thursday the 29bh day Of
November next, be set apart, and be obgerv-
ed everywhere In the several States and
Telritnries of the LInitad StataS by the pos.
pie thereof, as a day Of thanksgiving and
praise to Almighty God.
With due remembrance that ''in His tenn
pie doth every man speak of His honor, [
recommend also that on the same solemn oc-
casion they do humbly and devoutly implore
Him to grant to our national councils and
our whole people that divine wisdom which
can alone lead any nation into the ways Of
all good.
In Offering these national thanksgiviugs,
praises and supphcatons, we have the divine
assurance that the Lord remaineth king
forever; them that are weak shall be guided
in Judgment, and such as are gentle shall
He learn His way. The Lord give strength
to His people, and the Lord shall give to
His people the blessing of peace.
In witness whereof | have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed
Done at the City of Washington, this, the

Magniaeent oner ~ Mr. = 7. stewarl

The Herald says Mr.. Stewart proposes
to devote one million of dollars to the build
ingof small tenement houses for the use of
the working classes, to be let at low rent,
suited to the means Of those in receipt Of
but. small incomes, and to devote the accu-
mutation Of receipts for rent, &c, to the
extension of the undertaking. For this
purpose Mr.. Stewart has applied to the mu-
nicipal authorities for grant of land, mere
ly stipulating that the sole management of
the matter, the appointment of trustees,
AIM one or two minor points should be YES
ted in his hands. Hitherto the required
land has not been granted, but in case Of a
refusal, Alr. Stewart will not be daunted.
He intends to carry OUT his noble purpose
all the same, only Of course the number Of
dwellings will be smaller at first, as part of
the sum, which would otherwise be entirely
devoted to the construction Of the houses
will then have to be used for the purchase
of land

JOIINSONISM.
AHenlpted Murder Of the Soudtelqs Loy
aIist Delegation.

dttst DelegdtjOn
ST.. LOUIS, Oct s.
Col. Bigham, one Of the Southern loyalists,
who was not allowed to speak in Cairo on
Friday night, publishes a card, in which he
states that the rioters at the meeting were
armed with revolvers and bowie knives, and
came there with the avowed purpose of inau-
gurating another New Orleans tragedy. The
delegation, which was supposed to include
Brownlow and Hamilton, came near meeting
with fearful accident on their way to Cairo.
The train upon which they were supposed to
be was thrown of the track, on high en-
bankment, eighty miles above Cairo, at 2
o clock on Wednesday morning, by the re-
moval Of two rails, which threw the engine
off the track, killed the engineer, and badly
wounded the fireman and four other persons.
The indications all point to this act as de-
Gberate attempt to kill Brownlow and Ham
ilton. The whole delegation have arrived
here safely, and will have a public reception
in Lucas Place to night.
A violent attempt was made TO break up
meeting. on Saturday night, called in the in
terest of the Radicals.
