Col. VAN BUREN, an emmisary of
Hon. s. ]. Tilden, has been commun-
Ing with the President concerning the
Democratic nomination. He got very
cold comfort from the President, who is
reported in the New York Herald to
have expressed himself about in this
fashion.
"Col. Van Buren,, some time ago Gov.
Seymour declared that the very best
thing that could happen for the country
would be the removal of the President
by Congress. do not forget,
sir, and believe me now, sir, that
1 have no desire TO be found flying at
the tail of Gov. Seymonr's kite. To the
Democracy of New York 1 owe moth
ing. They have been controlled by a
newspaper clique which has newer
been friendly to me, and, therefore,
can see no reason why I should go out
of my way TO assist them"
That is very cold comfort for Sey-
mour.

Mr.. William A. Wallace, Chairman of the
PENNSYLVANIA Democratic State Committee.
whose exploits in the campaign OF 1857 we
have already recorded, and who seems to have
been the original genius by whom the XAlst
Senate District. consisting of six counties. was
carried 10y one of the most shameful frauds
upon record, has turned up with another adj
dress. How Wallace operated in 1867 it may
be well briefly TO remind our readers. The
notion was 10 introduce into the counties OF
Diair, Huntingdon, Centre. Milln. Perry. and
Juniata, sham voters enough to elect Shugart
over his Republican opponent, John X. Robin
son. How this was done with forged natural
ization papers, sealed with n stolen seal and
soaked in coffee to give them an air of antiquity,
our readers will also remember. They will
also remember that Chairman Wallace Of the
Democratic State Committee was proved TO
have written TO the County Committees q Sc
cret and confidential circular These were ad-
vised to employ agents TO drum up and manu-
facture voters. "Pay them," said Mr. Wallace,
for their time in warning the dilatOry and
for election day, anI provide the means 10
haul the slow men to the polls 1t is better
" to spend money in this way than by meet
." ings In very slow districts
"would suggest special contract with active
"men, thus: In 1865, the district polled 100
Democratic votes; in 1866 120 Democratic
"votes; now, for every Democratic vote over

4" after election See that your agents
have all Democrats assessed, naturaized. and
" their taxes paid" This was Mr.. Walace's
plan, and they did assess, and naturalize, and
pay taIeswith vengeance; but Senator Shugart
could Mt keep his seat. He was ignobly hoisted
therefr0m Well, this is an old story; but
here Mr.. William A. Wallace makes his appear
ance with another document. in which he
shows an equal ability in giving color without
the aid of Coffee TO varous mendacities some
Of which are ingenious, and some not particu-
laIly so. For instance, Mr.. Wallace asks
"Why is the National Debt greater now than
"when Lee surrendered and why does it still
increase 7" As it isn't greater, but less by
several millions, and as it does MT still increase,
but dminishes, and as Mr. Wallace probably
knows this to be true, we do not see why any
body should bother himself TO answer
this most gratutous and absurd question.
The National Debt has only seemed
to be increased, because there has been
added to it some s39 100000 contingent respon-
sibllites, which will be met by the Pacific
Railroads. So much for Seymour's misreprc-
sentatons, reproduced by Walace's Demo
Cratic State Committee.
Wallace proceeds to ask few more hard
questions, as for instance: "Why is the Con-
" stituton violated, and the Union not res
" tored' and WY are our resources wasted, the
people oppressed, the cost of living trebled.

And now the Democratic party has another
accession to its list of eloquent and experienced
orators. The Hon. Felix McCloskey, recently
candidate for the Office of President be-
fore the Democratic Convention, and supposed
TO have been tie secret Cnofvo or rar. oOtaroo-s
for that high and responsible position, has ar
rived in Washington from the South, and is
about to take q tour through the Northern
States. Mr.. McCloskcy. as another champion OF
the Red Hot Democracy, believes in striking
direct from the shoulder, and is profoundly
convinced that unless Mr.. Seymour is elected
President every negro in the South will insist
upon marrying a white woman, that our
daughters will no longer be safe, that our
freedmen will not only have bureau" but
a wash-stand and farm, and that the horny
handed plow- holders will be reduced to beggary
In order TO pamper such bloated bond-holders
as Belmont and Barlow, and Cisco, and Tilden.
Mr. McCloskey comes to us fresh from the
people. We don't suppose he will be in time
to take part in the Maine canvass, as the
Yankees of that State require different class
of orators from the red-hot eloquence of
McCloskey and his friends. But the Maine
election will soon be oyer, and we shall have

The vicinity of Bowling Green, Kentucky,
was noted during the war for the murders of
Union soldiers, and of those who sympathized
with them 1t was generally believed that a
Democratic victory in that State would en-
bolden the Rebels Of those days-who now
call themselves the Ku-Klux Klan-to COM
mence again their work of rapne and mur-
der but it was not expected that they
would enter upon it so heartily until
after the Presidential election. Our dispatches
from Bowling Green, published this morning
show that the Ku-Klux have determined
to begin at once to murder those to whom they
are opposed We cannot expect the Rebel
authorities of that State to bring these muir
derers to justice. To do SO would decrease the
Democratic vote.

address of the Democrats of South Carolina to

The platform just adopted by the Albany
State Convention declares that Congress is per-
petuating disunion, and at the same time that
it is establishing a centralized government in
place of the Federal Union. While it is pos
sible that both these charges may be false, it
is absolutely impossible that they shall both be
true. consolidated government and a Gisso-
luton of the Union lie in directions too oppO-
site for one party to be riding toward both at
the same time. We have no objection to the
Democrats swearing that Republcauism is pea

because the consent of the Southern States was
obtained by military force. His argument
proves too much. For the consent of the
Southern States to come or remain in the
Union, under any part of the Constitution, was
obtained by military force. Hence, according
to Three Column George, the Union and Con-
stitution are void Don't prove so much!
