"A Kentucky Unionist writes TO the Cincin-
natl Commercial as follows:-'Young men of
the North. Conservative and War Democrats,
may believe that the threats of revolution and
rebellion in the South are idle. You are mis-
taken. All over Kentucky, nearly, bands of
Confederates are organizing, holding secret
Seymour may give them the opportunity of
overturning the Southern State Governments
and driving the Union men from the country.
The Rebel spirit is rife in the land. You have
a torrent of wild Rebellion will be set in motion
as will startle you. If you elect Seymour hun
dIeds of Union men who nave stood by the old
flag in the hour of danger, and have hazarded
their lives fer the Government, will be driven
by peTsecutions by cruelty, by Rebel malgnity
from Kentucky, to ind home elsewhere. We
pray God that you may stand by us now. 1t is
our only help. If Grant is elected We can pros.
per in peace, and live as we wish to live, for
these men will not dare to produce discord with
his hand at the helm. Do not desert us.n
The Atlanta (Ga.) Era says:-"The contem-
plated victory OF the Georgia Democracy will
end in empty air, as In the case of General
Gordon, who was going to defeat Bullock al
most without struggle. We expect to con-
sign the poor fellows to an early grave, bat to
save them, if possible, from that old.fashioned
Oamnation which kno VS. no IN ercy."
General Logan says OF the union OF Northern
Democrats ana Southern Rebels, that I'VE
should have had this charming meeting before,
had it not been for O few 'bOys ia blue' whose
line from the Atlantic TO the Mississippi kept
these Northern and Southern Democrats apart
but the moment that line was withdrawn, the
same old Democratic family comes together"
"A near relative of MIR. Seymour told friend
few days since that his acceptance of the uomi.
patton was causing great uneasiness among his
family and friends, as they were convinced that
he coalo not bear up under the excitement of Pre-
sdentlal life If elected We thilk his friends
need not be at all alarmed.
The Chicago Post has the following: "Sey-
mour's trienus don't like it because Grant
smokes. They are afraid their candidate will
get smoked out in this world instead Of the
next. 1t is natural that they should want the
thing deferred, SO that they may all be there TO
see.
Mr.. Seymour has recently been trying to
tickle the soldiers, but they recollect that in
1868 he vetoed a bill allowing them TO vote iD
the field, and that all his friendship TOR them
has run in that line, and they cannot be per.
suaded 10 like him.
The following gentlemen have been engaged
to speak in Michigan for Grant and Colax dur
ing the present campaign:-H &. N. Stanton;
General John A. Logan, OF Illinois; Senator B.
+. Wade, OF ohio; Senator Cress well, of Mary
land; and Senator Harlan, of Iowa.
An eXchtnge, speaking of SeymOur's letter
OF accept 2hce, avs: TT has the clammy cold
ness OF Urlsb Heep, the audacious assumption
Of Chevy Slyme, and the hollow hypocrisy o.
PecksnlH.'
"A Coppcrhead, coming down the Ohio river
last Friday, on the steamer Lucy Bertram, heard
OF the death of Thad. Stevens. He publicly
| to treat everybody on the boat at his expense.
The ST.. Johns (Michiean) hepU5 'ican Offers
| 10 send copies regularly 10 as many responsible
Democrats as viii take them, and will require
| payment only on condition that Grant aud Col
| lax are elected.
"A pan phlet copy of the proceedings of thC
| Tammany Hall Convention, printed for cIrcula
| ton in the South, bears on its cover, in large
| type, "Stapd by your friends who have stood b.
| you.n Just go!
Governor Oelesby neatly saws, that th'
| Democrats took the Southern States out o
the Uulon, and the Republicans brought then
| bacK.
The Copperhead 6ght in the Ninth Obi
| Congressional District, says the CleYean
Hera d, is in the best possible shape for Reput
| lican success.
The Copperbeads hadn't pluck enough t
fight Tor the rebels, but they have brass enoug
to vote tor them.
A Minneapolis letter says: THE people {
Minnesota are good for ten thousand maJorlt
for Grant and COliaX."
The great question with the Copperhead
just now, is how TO keep the liquor out OF Blail
and his speeches in hip.
The new Georgia senator is named HON:
