and INSCRIPTIONS President.
n. They demand amnesty for all
past political odenses aud the TeSula-
lion Of the election franchise in the
State by their citizens. Just so We pnt
that all loyal men are ciuZaHs, and
should control their States, while they
mean 10 give the whole control TO the
whites, knowing that a mejority OF
these are disloyal to-day as they were
| in 1864.
Sd. They demand the payment OF the
public debt a. rapidly as possible an
economical administration Of the Gov
eminent, and that when the bonds are
not payable in gold, they should be paid
in The lawful money of the United
SEatea. Just the Republican doctrine,

4th. They demand equal taxation on
any species Of property according TO its
real value, including Government
Bonds and other public securities:

sentiments and interests upon this
point are as fully obnoxious as would
be the most Radical Republican.
5tt. They demand one currency for
the Government and the people, and SO
docs the Republican party.
9th. They demand The abolition OF
the Freedmen's Bureau, just what Con-
gress Is doing as fast as loyal State gov
ernments are prepared to maintain the
civil law in their respective States.
They demand a tariff in such ambig-
uous terms as TO please the protective
men of Pennsylvania, and at the same
time to meet the views of the free-tra-
ders of the great importing Democratic
city of New York.
| FelloW-citIZen5, while we have many
great and important questions that
need attention, such as the Internal
improvement OF our rivers and har-
bors, the question of tariffs for the
protection and fostering OF our manu-
iactures, the great question of public
instruction in our States, and many
others that might be enumerated, yet
these are not directly before us, nor
can the parties be brought TO an
issue upon them. One great and
. engrossing subject fills all our minds
+ 10 Che exclusion of every other, and
that is, How are the results of the war
TO be settled and used for good? North
ern peace men, and Unrepentant rebels
may meet in solemn conclave at New
York or any other place, ana with
clasped hands and fralernal embrace
may say that we are to have peace ;
but we want to know what KIND OF
peace.
Gen. Hancock and Gen. Forrest may
room together, and General Wade
Hampton declare he accepted the con-
| illusions Of the war; but we want 10
know what conclusions. We pre-.
fer 10 follow the leadership OF the great
, peacemaker, Gen. Grant, the closing
words of whose letter of acceptance
, were in favor of peace, rather than to
march under the banner of the Demo
cratic hOtspuT, Francis Z. Blair, VINO
declares that there Is but one way &c
? restore the Government and the Con
: stitutIon, and that is ''GOr the President
. elect TO declare these acts null and void
compel the army TO undo It's usurpa-
lions in the South, dispense the carpet
bag Slate governments, allow the white
people TO Teorganize their own govern
menIs, and elect Senators and repre-
senIaIiVes." "Then 10 compel the
Senate 10 submit once more to the obli-
gallons OF the Constitution" These
words OF the Democratic NOMINEES for
the Vice Presidency, written less than
Two weeks ago, means the opening OF
the rebellion anew, and we should
thank him for thus warning us III adj
vance,;
But we shall have no war. The con-
test is ended. The men who fought US
in the field, but who. like brave SOL
diers, accept the aTbitrament of the
sword, and now join US to preserve the
Union, have been forgiven; but this
shall not lessen our vigilance in watch
ing the still turbulant spirits OF the
South, and their no less dangerous al
lies in the North.
There can be no laying down of the
armor until we have fully viudlcated
the honor and good name of our gall
liant soldiers, have cared for their wild
ows and orphans and made certain
that the memories OF our dead shall
always be remem bered MS the heroes of
Liberty and Union; until secession has
been made dishOnorAble and those who
| were engaged in it seek to restore them
selves again to public confidence by
full IetTactiOn of their error, or shall
hide their infamy in oblivlon's grave.
And to this work we invite the
thoughtful men of all parties, what
ever may have been their Affiliations
heretofore. To this work we ask the
cooperation of the young men of the
land, and OF those everywhere who be-
lieveThat this land is TO abide, under
the providence of God, as she ever has
been, the home OF a generous people
and the asylum OF the oppressed from
i all nations.
In the language OF our murdered
Lincoln:
with malice toward none, with
charity for all, with frmuess In the
right as God gives us to SEQ the right,
| lei us strive on to finish the work we
are in, to bind up the nations wounds,
/ to care for him who shall have borne
the battle, and for his widow and his
orphan, TO do all which may achieve
and cherish just and lasting peace
among ourselves and.w all nations"
THE New York Commercial Adper-
User at the time of the New York riots
gave the following incident of the oc-
casion:
"Governor Seymour was very much
excited with the condition OF affairs,
and asked General Mcclellan to go to
the scene of the rioting on the east side
