ready mentioned in connection with the
nomination. His strength has been al
ready partially tested, and in every in
stance the result has been eminently sat-
isfactory to his adherents.' Not alone in
the West, but in California, Oregon and
Maine, the delegates appointed have
been instructed to vote for him as the
candidate of those States. iAefew days
ago his system of paying the bonds in
greenbacks was approved by the Assem-,
bly, of the State of New York. Here in
the North and in the East he is the fa-i
vorite with the Democratic masses, and
his name would arouse an enthusiasm
that no other could evoke. The work
ing classes, the taxpayers, the great
army of industry from whose labor is
paid the taxes that sustain the Govern.
ment. look to him as the champion of
their interests. the advocate of their
rights, and if they are not cheated and
defrauded by the trickery and scheming
of designing knaves and demagogues, he
will lead them to- victory in the great
struggle for Constitutional Freedom and
Selfgovernment. a, =
The West, as weihave said, has al
ready pronounced in favor of Mr.. PEN
dleton, and his name is more popular
than that of any otherleading Democrat
among the great industrial armies, the
hundreds of thousands of voters in the
North and East. In Connecticut, at the
late election, 1t aoas aceU understood that
his name a0as more conspicuous than any
other as preferred coddidate on tie
Democratic side. He was the represen-
tative, the exponent, the advocate of
financial system of which Grant, as the
candidate of the Bondholding interest,
was the pronounced antagonist. 1t is
true there was no direct issue made upon
this question, but the principle in con-
troversy was clearly understood by both
sides, and that understamdingAad direct
influence upon the result. What was
that result +? The ELECTION OF Gov.
ENGLISH BY NEARLY DOUBLE THE MA
JoRITY OF THE PRECEDING YEAR.
In that contest Grants name was not
only freely used in behalf of the Radi-
cal candidate, but his portrait appeared
on the Radical tickets. Regarding him
as the representative of the Bondocracy,
we cannot look upon the result in any
other light than as victory of the peo-
pie over most unjust and oppressive
financial policy, and in favor of that of
which the great statesman of the West
is the exponent and the advocate.
And this is not only the expression
of popular feeling in Connecticut, but of
the whole North. The great majority of
the people will insist that if greenbacks
are good enough for the mechanic and
the laborer, for the farmer and the trad
er; they are good enough for the bond
holder. They are also of the opinion
that it is gross injustice to exempt one
species of property from taxation and to
make others bear an unequal and op-
pressive burden. =. .. F. ..a

he Soldiers Asylum Voting Law.

The Soldiers Asylum Voting Law.
The Republican party was built up
and has been sustained by falsehood. Its
press and its orators are constantly busy
in attempts to deceive the people. Their
repeated falsehoods in regard to the ac-
tion of the Ohio Legislature are how
ever too plain and apparent to deceive
any one who chooses to inform himself.
They asserted. and with, shameless, au-
dacity, continue to assert, that law has
been passed "disfranchising" students
at colleges 1t has done no such thing;
the law gives them the, same rights that
are enjoyed by other classes of citizens,
not one who was legal voter was de-
prived of his right. 1t simply de-
termined aohere their place of
voting should be % upon u the
same principle and by the same rules as
regulate the voting places of all citizens
of whatever class or condition in life.
But they have seized upon another false
hood as base and as utterly without
foundation as this. For the purpose of
tickling the ears of soldiers and arousing
their sympathy for their wounded COM
rades, they are heralding it over the
State that the Legislature has passed a
law distfancAising the crippled soldiers
at the Soldiers Asylum at Dayton. 1t
is wholly untrue, and the man or the
journal that asserts as much either will
fully hes or is altogether ignorant of the
matter of which he speaks. The Ian
guage of the bill itself as it was intro
duced and as it passed disproves their
assertions beyond all doubt and cavil
The following is that portion of the law
which refers to elective franchise, and il
a Radical after reading it will claim that
it DISTINGUISHES soldiers, crippled or 9TH
erwise, or citizens or anybody else, he
will earn the title of knave or fool.
The law reads: -a.
"And the officers, employees and in
mates of said asylum who are qualified
voters of this State, by complying with
the requirements of the laws which are
and that may be enacted regulating
State, County and Township elections
in this State, shall have the right of suf-
frage at all Township, County and State
national asylum shall be located
1t will be seen that the bill establishes
no new requirements or qualifications
and lays down no special rule, but de-
clares that all who are qualified voters
Of. the State who comply with the re-
quirements of the general laws shall be
entitled to vote. Is there anything
wrong about this2 Does it disfranchise
'.crippled soldiers?" Does it not provide
that when they are voters under the
laws of the State they shall be entitled
to vote at this asylum! We hardly
think the Radical demagogues can gull
the people by such clap-trap and bare
faced falsehoods as this. They act upon
the idea that lie well stuck to is as
good as the truth, but when it is so east
ly exposed it poorly answers the pur-
poses for which it is nted.-Ports-
mouth Times.

An OriEi III al Letter of General
y Washington. -- -

1he trenton (New Jersey Gazette
says: s6r ... ..tr.| -.,.r.s,
"We are indebted to Philemon Dick
inson, Esq, of this city, for the privilege
of copying letter written by General
Washington, in 1850, to DR.. Franklin,
then in Paris, and which has never be-
fore been published. Mr.. Dickinson OBJ
tanned the letter from relative. lady
residing near Germantown, Pennsylva-
MIA. This lady's father was a ward of
DR.. Franklin, and resided with him for
some time in Paris After his death, the
following letter was found among his pa
pers. 1t is in Washington's handwriting,
and bears the marks of the care and
method that always distinguished him
in the small as well as the great affairs
of life. Mr.. Dickinson intends to pre-
sent the original letter to the Historical
Society of this State. l 30
'"The following is an accurate copy of
the letter:
"'BERGEN County, IN THE !
STATE OF New JERSEY, Oct. 9, 17sO. I
j"'DEAR SRI was very much OBJ
liged by the letter which you did me the
honor to write me by our amiable young
friend, the Marquis de La Fayette,
whose exertions to serve this country in
his own, are additional proofs of his
jealous attachment to our cause, and
has endeared him to US still more.
".He came out flushed with the ex-
pectations of a decisive campaign, and
fired with hopes of acquiring fresh laur-
els. but in both he has been disappoint-
ed; for we have been condemned to an
inactivity as inconsistent with the stu
alton of our affairs as with the ardor of
his temper. -. ....
"'I am sensible of all / owe you, my
dear sir, for your sentiments of me, and
while 1 am happy in your esteem, L can
not bpt wish occasions of giving you
marks of mine. ,....
"'The idea of making tour togeth-
er, which you suggest, after the war,
would be one of the strongest motives 1
could have to postpone my plan of retire
ment and make visit to Europe, if my
domestic habits, which seem to acquire
strength from restraint, did not tell me 1
shall find it impossible to resist them
longer than my duty to my country
calls for the sacrifice of my inclinations.
al doubt not you are so fully inform
ed by Congress of our political and mil
itary state that it would be superAuous
to trouble you with anything relating to
either. If I were to speak on topics of
the kind, It would be to show that our
present position makes one of the two
things essentialt to us-peace, or the most
vigorous aid of our allies, particularly
in the article of money. OF their dis
position to serve us we cannot doubt !;
their generosity will do everything their
means will permit.
"With my best wishes for the pres
ervation of your useful life, and for ev-
cry happiness that can attend you which
sincere attachment can dictate, 1 am,
my dear sir, your most obedient and
humble servant,

Who smile and are contented.
When grief doth come to rack the heart,
