worstedy-
AZ secret political organization has been
formed in Buffalo, ostensibly to make war on
Masonry and protect Irish Catholics. One of
the members recanted and exposed the affair
in the Erpress.
z CY The Ku klux in Tennessee received the
news of the Amnesty Proclamation on the
Fourth with joy, and expressed their satisfac-
ton by promiscuous falling upon and beat
ing of the colored people
H We can account for the Ohio Democra-
tic delegation moving the nomination of Gov.
Seymour, who was the manipulation of the
New York machinery by which Pendleton
was slaughtered, only on the supposition that
the vice presidency was promised to Ohio.
eB Andrew johnson has, by proclamation,
granted general amnesty to all rebels, high
and low, excepting such only as are under in
dictment Thus does he make treason odious."
For this, the Copper-Rebel Convention compli-
mented him with 81 votes.
GE By virtue of the provisions of the natu-
ralization treaty, recently concluded between

eE The Mobile Register. John Forsyth's
paper, is enthusiastic over the nomination of
Frank Blair. 1t prints Blair's letter and re-
marks that " it makes the overthrow of the re-
construction acts, and the restoration of the
Southern States toitheir constitutional rights,
the " real and only issue in this contest"
W The Pendleton Escort, in disorganized
condition, says the Ohio State Journal of the
9th, is straying homeward singly, sullen, 81
lent and surbated. The gay fellows who went
through here one short week agowith banners
flying and whisky streaming, have been met
amorphosed into the sorTiest-looking lot of
caest-fallen roosters ever exhibited to the pub
lic Poor George!
0-A new treaty between China and the
United States framed by the Embassy now in

IGov Wise followed Gov. Vance with one
of his Old-time speeches of the Pogram
pattern. He began by declaring that the
Democratic platform lied in saying that Sc
cession was,dead: but he would support the
nominees especially Blair, on account of that
gentleman's threat of forcibly breaking up the
Radical State Governments.
EE Ohio was sold out cheap at the New
York Convention. Pendleton, its "favorite
son" was ruthlessly butchered and the vice
presidency, which common courtesy should
have given to the Buckeyes to plaster ovel
their sore, was contemptuously denied them
Ohio Democrats ought to cheerfully endorse
the ticket, because they are accustomed to kiss
the foot that kicks them.
EE Poor Chase he and his friends are the
butts of political wiltings and the painphleteers

feel for each others case. Salmon has rather
the advantage of Andrew in having the life

edly:commend Blair to the support of loyal
men, land especially to Union soldiers.

9 Gov. Vance, on his way home from tn
Democratic Convention, made a speech il
Richmond, in which he EXPRESSED his conf
dence that what the Confederacy fought 70
would be won by the election of Seymour an,
Blair. We heartily agree with him so far
but the people who beat the Confederaey OF
thefeld are not to be beaten by it at the polls
If Lee could not whip Grant, we don't be
lieve Horatio Seymour can do it.
sB- During the session of the Democrat
National Convention, the special correspor
dent of the Cincinnati Inquirer wrote home a
