ILLUSTRATING A POINT which we have been
recently attempting to explain, the New
ark Evening Courier has a timely article
In that city, at the late election, it says, the
m achanics and manufacturers were urged to
vote the Democratic ticket if they desired to
have the South regain at once its former
prosperity and offer market for their
wares. But now they are told the success
of the Democracy means a continuance OF
the chaotic existence Of Southern society fol
an indefinite period, or until loyal men can
be trampled under foot and rebels and uai-
tors gain supremacy. Throwing off all dis
guise, the diSuaion Democracy insist that
jeff Davis, Slidel, Mason, and traitors of
theirilk. shall be PERMITTED to manipulate
the Southern people and their votes as they
used to do in the days when it was claimed
that Slavery and not Freedom was the fonn-
dation of our government. They expect to
accomplish that purpose by firing the pa-
thence of the loyal party who carried the
Government successfully through four
years war who freely burthencd them
selves with debt and taxation, and who
have Willingly sacrificed rs no other people
ever did for the perpetnity Of their owl
chosen form of Government. The result d
the recent elections, they contend. prove,
that the Il va people of the North are near
y ready !, give up all for the sake Of peace
and that If the South can be held in the con.

Az ENTHUSIASTIC meeting of Republicans
in favor of nominating Gen. Grant for the
Presidency, was held in Philadelphia, Mon
day evening. The meeting was addressed
by Hon. VIM. d. Kelley, who said he had no
hand in calling the meeting, but came in re-
Spouse to the call published. Mr.. Kelley
advocated the nomination Of Gen. Grant, not
because such nomination was necessary TO
the success of the party, not because Of his
availability, neither as a reward for his trans
ccndcnt military services, but because dur
ing his presidency he will secure the cndur-
ing ascendency of our principles.
He said he knew that General Grant be-
lieved that peace and general prosperity can
only be attained and perpctuated by sccur-
| ing to the humhlest citizen, who has not
forfeited his rights by crime, an equal voice
in the affairs Of the government under which
he lived. He also said that he knew that
General Grant had generously sustained the
district commanders in every advanced step
they have taken. Mr. Kelley said he spoke
from no common rumor, but kneW what lit
asserted to be true.

The ISSUE which the Republicans make

THE ISSUE which the Republicans make
concerning Southern Reconstruction is a
plain one. They propose 10 reorganize all
the rebel States, Immediately, TO end the
military government there, to restore them
to representation in Congress, to re-establish
the rule of the civil law. But the disunion-
lists object Why Because all loyal citizens,
including oolored, have the ballot, while some
of the leading and most dangerous rebels
have not. For the advantage of the latter
class, the blessings which would accrue
to the nation from pcaceable settlement OF
the Southern question are to be foregone or
postponed. To secure their political SUI
premacy, peace and commercial prosperity
must be put off, win the country sanction

prohibits the soldiers of the United States,
from marching through city, lying upon

actually prohibit citizens from marching in

night, and yet all the rights thus denied to
others, are Freely accorded to St0a3n'S
