THE FINAJITY OF RECONSTRUCTION
Ex.Attorney General Stanbery in speech
delivered at Lancaster, Ohio, finished
his remarks on Reconstruction BY the
following demolition of the final non
sense on which the Radicals have dwelt
so much:
And now Ms to the question, how can
the Democratic Conservative party apply
remedy? There arc some who say
that the evil is incurablc; that right or
wrong, the black race OF the South have
been invested with the right Of suffrage,
and it cannot be taken from thcm-that
right or wrong the Southern States have
been reconstructed and recognized by
Congress, and in virtue of that rocogn-
ton their status is rreversibly fixed
Listen moment, my doubling fricnd-if
u Republican Congress could disfranchise
the white man, cannot u Democratic Con-
eress disfranchiso tho negro? If Re-
publican Congress can take tho ballot
from the white man and give it TO tho
negro, cannot q Democratic Congress re-
store it to it's former rightful owners !?
If Republican Congress could declare q
State constitution void when made by the
white mon Of State in the exercise of
their will, cannot Il Democratic Congress
declare q State constitution void made by
the black men of State with the help of
the bayonct? Finally, if Il Congression-
al recognition is tho test of State legality,
cannota Democratic Congress apply just
rs well rs IL Republican Congress? All
we have to do is to reverse what has becn
done and undo b. constitutional means
what has been done by revolutionary
means First of all, elect a President
who will fight it out on the line of tho
Constitution, instead of on the line of re-
publicanism. Next, elect a Democratic
House Of Representatives. Half the work
is then dono, for not Representative
from any one of tho reconstructed States
will be recognized by or allowed TO take
his scat in that body, and not another
dollar will be appropriated TO sustain the
Frccdmcn's Bureau or the military oocu-
patton of tho South. Finally put DEM
ocratic majority in tho Senate, and then
tho rood work will be finished. 1T will
take timc-porhaps moro time to correct
allasths mischief than it has taken to
commit it. Tho process may be slow
one, but, my Democratic friends, if you
arc of the samo class of men as OF old-lf
yon possess the same stcadfast and un-
conqucrablc will-sooner or later success
is sure. Then tho primal g lores OF the
Republic will como back; then the lost
will bo found

GEN. McCLEILAN.-The following en-
phatic endorsement of Seymour and tho
Democracy will be read with interest:
NEW York, Oct. S, 1868.
To Douglas Taylor, Esq, Chairman:
DEAR SIR: have the pleasure to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your invitation
to preside over the Democratic meeting
of Monday next. have long since de-
termined to abstain from further partic.
patton in political life, and therefore find
myself compelled to decline the honor you
protfer mo. l should, however, be glad
to attend the meeting as aprlvate citizen,
did not an engagement Of q domestic
nature render imperative my absence
from the city upon the day in question.
l gladly avail myself OF this opportunl-
ty to express my continued hearty SYM
pathy with the Democratic cause, andmy
wishes-ardent wishes-for the success Of
those constitutional principles for which
the recent war was undertaken by the
North. Separated as thus am from the
distinguished soldier who has been chosen
as the leader of our opponents, know
that you agree with me in the highest re-
spcct for the services he has renderedour
country; but it Is my conviction that the
measures of the party which has placed
him in nomination are bus combinations
of strife, and can never restore peace or
constitutional supremacy, and therefore
complete the work that he AID the other
brave soldiers SO nobly commenced
The war was only the first epoch in the
history of struggles in which we have
been long engaged. The work of the
soldier is, trust, forever ended, and it
now remains for the people to fulfil the
great object for which they or their sons
and brothers we're called to the field. A
restored Union Of States and hearts; an
invigorated Constitution to be firmly and
faithfully supported by the maintainance
of the national credit inviolate, and the
establishment of national and State rights
in all their integrity, and thus true har-
mony and lasting peace. These are the
objects for which every citizen should now
strive.
Believing they rest in the success Of the
Democratic cause by the election of the
eminent statesman selected to represent
the party, it is my intention to sustain
that cause rs private citizen, with the
request that you will convey to the gen.
tlcmen of the committee, and any other
friends for whom you act. my sincere
thanks for the compliment they have paid
me.
I ann most truly yours.

checks are full of dimples, and rcd as any

The Death of Hon. Howell Cobb

We had scarcely heard of the arrival of
Hon. Howell Cobb at New York when
came tho stunning news OF his sudden
death. How strikingly docs this fact adj
monish us of the frail hold of man upon
things mortal. Mr.. Cobb was in the pride
of life, full of physical health and mental
force. All human appearances indicated
for him many years of q life Of usefulness
to his country, and of happiness in the
cherished associations of family, relatives,
and friends.
In the sociallife Mr.. Cobb was a shining
light In his early political days lie rose
to the Speakership Of the House of Rep:
resentatives of the United States, not less
from his generous nature and disposition
to fairness than from his previous CONGO
ded excellence as a pro tempore presiding
officer. He, in that exalted p!ac needed
little of the promptings or suggestions
from the Clerks desk, or otherwise: that
in some cases has made at times the NOM
ina discharge of tho duties of the Speak
ership almost farcical.
In the respect Of politics in large way,
Mr.. Cobb for a long period was known as
Southern Union man, and ne fought
great battles in his State in that behalf
But when he conceived that that element
was unjustly disregardcd. he gradually
became discouraged in urging cause to
which he had before given devoted SER,
vice. Hence, when sectional issues came
to sharp points during the administration
of Mr. Buchanan, of which he held the
seals of the Treasury, he became consrc-
nous in advocating the cause and course
of the South.
During tho civil war there was not,
probably, in the Confederate States a
more earnest adhcrent Of its cause than
Mr.. Cobb. This was in consstcnce with
his nature. But with the close of the war
camo, upon his part, sincere desire for the
restoration cf amicabc relations between
the sections. and disposition to let the
dead past bury its dead. He was not the
man, however, to abnegatc what belong
ed to true manliness of character, or to
to yield tame submissiveness to what he
conceived TO be an infraction Of the law
ofhuman nature itself, in the respect ftbe
accumulating infamies of Radical policy
in the land Of his birth.7 education. and
heritage. But to drop political or party
reference, let us hope that such, genial
gentlcmcn and truc-hcarted and able men.
as himself may rise up TO servo and save
the common brotherhood of human kind
from such woes as have afflicted our coun-
try, and yet lead it in paths of peace and;
prosperity.-Ndt. Intelligcncer.
