WHLcH WA-Y LLES PELCE,

II Gen. Grant shall hc elected President no
man fears, or cSta Affects to fear, q reign Of
violence or terrorism No e-i,ting government
will be overturned or suhyCltod. No person or
class now enfranchised will be deprived of pO-
litcal rights. On the contrary, the work of
Acknowledgement will move steadily, rapidly
on, till every disability will have been removed
The masked assaSSins who now make Night
hideous at the South will understand that they
must quit. and will do it. The three States
which have not yet framed and adopted free
constitutions will close on the work forthwith
and be again represented in Congress. There
upon Military rule will cease in those as it
has done in the seven States already recon-
structcd, and the few soldiers remaining i'll the
South will be simply servants and hackers OF
the civil power. -Four years of Grant ahead
will be like the four years more of Lincoln
decreed by the people in 1864, when the Rebels
saw in bis reelection fixed resolve OF the
LOYAL States to fight four years longer if neces-
sary and thcrcupon concluded that they might
as well give it up. The reelection of Lincoln
was Peace, though Seymour & Co. insisted
that it involved interminable War So the ecc
ton of Grant will insure the removal of all
remaining Southern disabilities by curbing the
spirit and aTesting the Outlages which have
rendered restrictions indispensable.
If Grant shall be elected there is no ven
geance to be glutted, nothing established to be
subverted no class to be deprived of their
rights. His election will be due notice that
violence and outrage must cease, that school
houses must no longer be burned and may safely
be built, that there is to be education in every
State and for.every class, and that the farmer,
of whatever hue, may henceforth plow and SOW
in full assurance that he shall harvest and
enjoy. There is not in the South an acre of
land, coal bed, waterfall, that will not be
increased in value by the news of Gen. Grants
election.
Should Seymour unhappily be chosen, there
is not an implacable Rebel in America who
will not believe and feel that the cause which
was lost on the battlefield has been regained at
the polls-that the verdict of the ballot-boxe
has reversed that of Gettysburg, Mission Ridge
Atlanta, and Appomattox. You have had
"us under these three years." they will say to
their Union neighbOrs; "now it is our turn.
"We will show you who is master now" And
they will drive out "the Garnet baggers," as
they call the Unionsts who Nave migrated
from the North, hunting them as though they
wefe wolves. We know this, for they threaten
it--nOt one merely, but thousands of them
and are sure TO be as bad as their word. They
did hunt our people out in the Spring of 1861,
killing them by scores; and they are to-day I'M
changed in spirit and character. Were Sey-
mOurs election assured, the Yankee teachers of
Black children, Bureau agents, &c, &C., in the
South could not live there another week. They
would be hunted and killed precisely as the
Blacks were in our City in the great Demo
cratic uprising of July, 1863. The Blacks would
not fare 50 badly il they bent abjectly to the
storm; but let one of them approach the
ballot-bo with intent to vote and he would
have knife thrust into his body, law or no
law The Frank Blair revolution would be
within a month after the Rebels had
chosen President after their own heart; and
no carpet bagger" or scalawag"
gould open his head at tho South and live.
